Combs have been used in the toilet since very ancient times. The Greeks, the Egyptian and the Roman ladies used them to arrange and hold up their hair even ladies among the Swiss lake dwellers seem to have been familiar with them. Some of these were made of wood, some of bone, of horn or of ivory. Specimens have often been found in recent years.

The dinner was endless, which was
necessary, since nothing was to follow
but conversation. There could, under
the circumstances. be no dancing. And
the talk at the table, through course
after course, was somewhat hectic,
even under the constraining presence
of King Karl. There were two reasons
for this: Karl's presence and his pur-
pose-as yet unannounced, but sur
missed. and even known-and the sit
uatiop in the city.
That was bad. The papers had been
ordered to make no mention of the
occurrence of the afternoon, but it was
well known. There were many at the
table who felt the whole attempt fool
hardy, the setting of match to In
fiammable material. There were otn-
erS who resented Karrs presence in
Livonia, and all that it implied. And
guests, one or more who had but re-
Gently sat in less august and more aw-
full company.
Beneath all the brilliance and chat
ter, the sparkle and gayety. there was,
then, uneasiness, wretchedness, and
even treachery. And outside the pal
ace, held back by the guards, there
still stood a part of the sullen crowd
which had watched the arrival OF the
carriages and automobiles, had craned
forward to catch a glimpse of uniform
or brilliantly shrouded figure entering
the palace. and muttered as 1t looked.
Dinner was over at last. The party
moved hack to the salon, vast ana
empty place, hung with tapestries and
gayly lighted. Here the semblance or
gayety persisted, and Karl, affaDillty
itself. spoke few words to each OF
the guests. Then 1t was over. The
guests left, the members of the coun-
Gil, each with a wife on his arm,
frowsy, overdressed women most OF
them. The council was chosen for
ability and not for birth. at last only
the suite remained, and constraint
vanished.
The family withdrew shortly after to
small salon off the large one. And
there. at last, Karl cornered Hedwig
and demanded speech.
"Where?" she asked, glancing arouff
the crowded room.
81 shall have to leave that to you,"
he said. "Unless-there is Dal-
eony."
"But do you think it is necessary

because what I have to say does
not matter"
TT matters very much to me," he
replied gravaly.
Hedwig vent first, slipping away
ouietly and annotieed. Karl asked the
archduchess' permission TO follow her
and found her waiting there alone
rather desperately calm now, and with
a tinee of excited color in her cheeks.
Because he cared a great deal, and be
cause. as kings go, he was neither
hopele sssy bad nor hard, his first words
were kind and genuine, and almost
brought her 70 tears.

There" said Annunciata, standing
on and surveying her, you look less

She did, indeedI It took Hedwig
quite five minutes to wash the rouge
off her face, and there was, one might
as well confess, moment when part
of the crown jewels of the kingdom
lay in corner of the room, whence
a trembling maid salvaged them, and
examined them for damage.
The Princess Hedwig appeared that
evening without rouge, and was the
