70 hold Peter by making him jealous.
As the fulcTum for this venture she
chose the PrusSlan Minister at the Rus
sian court, Ksyserling.
Her coquettmg enSnared Kayserling
completely. HI fell head over heels in
love 9Th her. and, proud of being the
rival OF an emperor, proposed marriage.
Instead OF being warmed by Anna's
maneuver, Peter was chilled by it. The
practical lady, perceiving what she had
done, decided to pull as much out Of
the fire as possible. If she could not
capture an emperor, perhaps she could
do worse than to accept the ambassador.
1t was necessary to have Peters con-
sent for her to marry Kayserling. When
she sent her request, the sovereign flew
! into rage.
II shall make her pay for this" he
shouted, loading her with terrible
names. He revoked her possession OF
palace he had built for her and had
her and her mother arrested.
In q generous mood, Peter once had
given Anna his portrait, set in dia-
monds He now took it away from her.
You can have no use for it," he
said, since you prefer a wretched slave
to the original"
Peter later relaxed his severity to
Anna and her family, but when Kay
serling, four years later, still ardently
in love, tried to persuade the Car TO
take Annals brother into his service,
Peters anger was explosive.
II educated the Mons girl for myself
with the sincere intention of marrying
her." he cried. Since, however, she
was enticed away by you, I do not
want to hear or know about her or any
of her relations"
On this occasion the minister, Men
shikof. was present. A quarrel followed
in which he and Peter drew their
swords and almost attacked KaySerling
who had no sword Others pushed the
Prussian out of the room, foreseeing
trouble with Prussia If he were killeA
| Reconciliation followed Peter we
pleased. He told Kayserling, LAS COG
knows my soul, am right sorry for
what has happened. but we were all
full and now all Is over and settled"
Four more years passed before Kay
7arling was able to marry Anna. Sadly.

Prresia
In 1714 Anna was preparing to marry

when she was taken fatally i'll.

1t was partly because OF love OF Anna
Mons, daughter OF German goldsmith,
that Peter the Great cast OF the EN-
press Eudoxia and condemned her TO
the life of a nun.
Anna was pretty, educated, witty
and clever. That her humble birth was
not a bar to her becoming Empress OF
Russia was proved by the fact that
Peter later married a poor Esthonian
servant girl. But Anna was q natural
gold-digger. She loved money and ex-
travagant gifts and she hadn't the good
sense to hide her greed. She used her
favor with Peter to push her relatives
she exercised her power too openly. She
offended Peter.
Her greatest mistake was in trying

draperies, you will find them equally
attractive.
In the accompanying illustration is
shown a window treatment of ruined
curtains and a pair of overdraperies of
plain chintz put up with valance OF
patterned chintZ.
There is one thing that we must be
careful about, and that is not to at
tempt to combine too rich material
with these simple curtains. Taffeta is
all right, but damasks, brocades or
velvets result in too great contrast in
the qualities of the materials to be
pleasing. ~

I think the reason for our fondness
for ruffied curtains is that they have
such agreeable dispositions. No mat
ter how you treat them they appear
perfectly calm, graceful and at ease.
If you wish to use them as the only
window treatment, that is perfectly
al! right. They are, indeed, very
charming all alone.
