That Peter the Great Of Russia was
able to take as wife an ignorant peasant
girl was due to a centuries-old custom
which had prevailed in Russia.
That country, in its earlier crudeness,
unable to obtain for its sovereigns alli-
ance with the royal houses of neighbour
ing countries, borrowed a veritable Gin
derella- making institution from the By
zantines. 1t had its political advantages.
When wife was desired for the Gar,
or his heir apparent, $500 beautiful
maidens were gathered from all sections
and taken to Moscow that the husband
to-be might make his own selection.
Peters own mother, Nathalia Kiril-
Iowa, had been such a Cinderella.
The Gar Alexis, his father, had lost
his first wife, the Princess Marie Him
itchna Misoslavsky, after she had borne
him Is children. Eleven of these died,
and in 1870 the only heirs of Alexis
were his two sons, Theodore, who was so
sickly that it was not believed he would
live, and Ivan, who was almost an idiot.
Russian peasants knew that the Gar
would be certain to marry again and
began to prepare their daughters for the
traditional ceremony.
Their efforts counted for naught.
One evening while the Gear was at the
house of Artemon Sergheievitch Mat
veief, his chief minister, he lost his
heart. When Mime. Matveief entered
the room in which the Gar sat, bring
ing the vodka, the caviar, the smoked
fish and the other appetizers Russians
employ before embarking upon supper,
she was assisted by a black-eyed young
beauty. This was ward of Matveief.

February rs. 1S6l.-As the time
draws nearer when Mr.. Lincoln will be
inaugurated as President OF the United
States, the plans of the military au-
thorities to protect him from possible
attack are being made more thorough.
Quietly the Government has concen-
trated in this city various units of the
Regular Army and the Marine Corps,
to guard the line of the inaugural pro-
cession and the plaza at the east front
OF the Capitol on March 4. The Dis
trict Militia will also aid in the protec-
ton Of Mr.. Lincoln on that day.
Detectives from New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Chicago have
been brought to Washington to aid the
local police in keeping a close watch on
the crowds of visitors, who already are
beginning to arrive here.
President-elect Lincoln visited the
Capitol this afternoon about 4 o'clock
and returned to his rooms in Wizards
Hotel between and o'clock. This
evening he was closely occupied with
callers. Gen. Scott held a protracted
interview with him.
Mr.. Lincoln's face, in the few DAYS
he has been here since his election, has
not become familiar enough to the peo-
PIE OF the city for him to be generally
recognized when he passes along the
streets. Several times he has driven
from Wizards to various parts of the
city without attracting the attention of
the multitude
There was a big jam at Wizards 20
night when it became known that Mr..
and Mrs. Lincoln were receiving. {"
Great care was exercised by those on
duty at the doors to prevent unknown
persons from entering the apartment
where the President-elect and Mrs.
Lincoln were greeting their guests.
Gentlemen unaccompanied by ladies
found great difficulty in entering. un-
less they were known to those on duty
at the door.
The Peace Convention, which has
been in session here in an effort to save
the Union, was forced to adjourn again
today with nothing accomplished.
Many of the delegates are sincerely try
ing to induce the convention to agree
upon plan that will keep North Caro-
lima, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and
the other so-called border slave States
from joining the Southern Confederacy
which the cotton States have organ
lied. The prospect of success in this
effort did not seem bright today.

1t was Nathalia Kirillovna Naryshkin.
The 1900 maidens came as usual to
MOSCOW, but Nathalia was commanded
to be one of them. 1t was foreordained
that she would be the Emperor's choice.
IL must not be supposed that a girl
assumed the role of bride to the Car
without danger to herself. The imperial
family was apt to be jealous Of the
sovereign's choice, fearing loss of favor
and OF power. Sometimes these relatives
mad gone to extreme lengths to obtain
marriage that suited themselves.
When the young Gear Michael plan
ned to marry Marie Khlopof in 1916, the
Soltykofs, the most powerful family
then at court, drugged the poor beauty
until she was sick, told the Car she
was tncurably diseased, and had her and
her family exiled to Siberia. His next
choice, Princess Dolgoruky, died mys-
teriously on the day of the wedding.
Even Alexis, who now planned to
make Nathalia his wife, had suffered by
such Vaccinations. Prior to marrying
Princess Marie Illinitchna Misoslavsky
he had selected Euphemia Vsevolozhsky,
On her first presentation in the royal
robes, the ladies In waiting dressed her
hair with such a tight twist that she
swooned in the Cars presence. Oblig-
ing physicians declared she had epilepsy
and of she was sent to Siberia.
Plotting did, indeed, delay Nathalias
wedding nine months. But Alexis really
was passionately in love with her. He
married her on February !, 1871. On
June 8, 1852 the child that was to be
Peter the Great was born.

Fashions of Today
By MARIE sHALMAR.
Fine Twilled Materials.

Once having accepted the idea of
suits as part of the mode, American
women viii undoubtedly wear them for
all daytime occasions, and this may be
conveniently and snartly done, since
there are smart suits for all sorts Of
occasions.
For street and general daytime wear
in town there are suits of dark or
neutral color, made of firm woolens
that hold their shape and lend them
selves to careful tailoring. TweedS are
important, but they have important
rivals this season in the more closely
woven materials such as covert, serge
and other twilled materials. -
When tweed is chosen for the street
suit it is likely to be one of the new
finer, f1rmer sort, while the rougher,
loosen, and lacy tweedS are considered
more appropriate this season for spe-
cialized wear.
The rough tweeds make topcoats
that are warm enough for mountain or
steamer wear and so light in weight
that no one would mistake them for
remnants of the Winter wardrobe. Thus
loosely woven, lacy tweeds lend them
selves charmingly to the bright colors
that are peculiarly appropriate for re-
sort and holiday wear.

Food Garnishes.

To cut gherkins for a garnish select
small cucumber pickles of uniform size
With a sharp knife cut them lengthwise
into slices thin as possible without de-
taching the slices at the stem end, then
spread out the slices into fan shape.
To fringe celery for garnishing, cut
pieces Of celery into two-inch lengths
For this purpose the stalks Should be
fairly thick, but tender. Fringe each
end to within quarter of an inch OF
the center. Drop into ice water con-
tanning slice or two of lemon and let
stand until they are curled. If desired
fringe one end only.

beneath the table top, is a long book
trough. Usually study table has q
book shelf hanging over it on the wall
but this table has been placed at right
angles to a window, which is an idea
position for studying. The top is large
enough to accommodate study space
for two boys, a chair on each side.
The top of the chest at the end OF
table takes care of miscellaneous articles
which cannot be left on top of the desk
and as additional working surface II
comes in very handy.
A table such as this may be con-
structed of wood to match the rest OF
the furniture or painted in contrast
to it.

throughout the speech.
When La Toilette had finished and
Norris addressed the chair, Young
Bob" was seen to leave his desk and
walk over to the Democratic side of the
chamber. There, in seat nearest the
aisle on the same row with Norris, he
sat down.

that shown by the veteran in the words
of the youth
Both progreSsives, cruSading for much
the same principles of government, one

lette fought side by side while the latter
lived. Now the son has taken his
fathers place.
Admirers Young Senator.
Norris fondness and admiration for
Young Bob" is known to all on the
hill. Only recently. with some enthusi-
asm, he told friend:
The boy has it. He's got it in him
He's fine"
And it is known also that nothing
'vould suit Norris better than to have
Young Bob Cor any one else. for that
matter) assume leadership of the pro-
gressive bloc in the Senate.
Norris has always wanted to stay in
the background. He desires nothing but
the right to fight for ideals he holds.
Young Bob" however, has proceeded
slowly and cautiously. His friends de-
clare he Is yet a bit timid on account
Of his youth and is hesitant toward
pushing out for fear it will be said he
is trying to capitalize on his fathers
name.
