Abyesinian Likes American styles.

remark credited to Prince Nadoa, the

country This may be merely a bit
of oriental fiattery or 1t may be an
Indication of the princes bravery. It
should be remembered. first. that the
sovereign of Abyssinia is a woman, and
q descendant of the queen whose ele-
gaEcp and beauty of costume dazzled
King SolOmons court, and in the next
place that in Abyssinia style does not
change more than once every thou

OF time the life of man is free from

changing fashions and new dresses.
Without any intention of forecasting

suggested that If this story should
precede him he will have some ex-
plantations to make either to the queen
or to the husbands and fathers IL
