WOMAN'S WOULD.
PRETTY Princess Marie, of fi nxe-Ooburg-Gotlia,
was taken to Her
lin in l.S!)2, when she was Just
17, and there met the handsome crown
prince of Koumaiiia, who very quickly
recognized her charms. Princess Marie
was equally attracted to him, for he,
as well ns being handsome. Is possessed
of great charm of manner and upright
ness of character, a prince fitted in ev
ery way to be n hero of romance. The
betrothal took place not long after
their meeting with the cordial assent of
all the relatives of both prince and
princess; and on Jan. 11, 18113, their
marriage was celebrated at Kigmariu
en. The beauty and youth of Princess
Marie touched all hearts, und her win
ning manner soon made her as beloved
by King Charles as if she was actually
'his own daughter. The Queen of Kou
Oinula Is as charmed with her new niece
ns the king is, and looks on her and
treats her as a daughter, finding In her
companionship a relief from her sad
memories and fits of melancholy.
The costume worn by the Crown
Princess Marie of Koiiinaulii, In the por
trait which accompanies this article,
was worn by her at a recent festivity
In Bucharest. The petticoat was of
plain silk, the overdress being of rich
est brocade, the design of bunches of
feathers tied together with true lovers'
knots being very dainty and effective.
The fichu of Brussels lace was draped
In exact Imitation of that worn by a
dead und gone beauty In n portrait
from which the costume was copied.
Since Princess Marie's advent lu
liucliarcst the leaders of society there
linve done their best to devise novel
and brilliant entertainments to amuse
her royal highness, and she and her
handsome young husband nre untiring
In attending festivities and other func
tions in aid of charities when the pres

to secure the success of the undertak

Nourishment for the Skin.
; A dry, scaly skin Is u sure Indication
of a blood disturbance, and frequently
accompanies dyspepsia. The best treat
ment for It Is a careful diet, an avoid
ance of all highly seasoned food, coffee,
tea and alcoholic stimulants. Some
times a dry skin Is the result of u long
Illness where fever has literally burned
the cuticle so that It Is parchment. The
skin food which nourishes and builds
up the skin tissues and supplies the oils
that have been exhausted by heat la
most etllcnclous If applied at night, af
ter a warm bath. It Is well to rub It
thoroughly Into the skin. Massage Is
excellent In connection with this treat
ment. Melt iu a water bath three
ounces of spermaceti, eight ounces of
oil of almonds, four of lamloline, and
two ounces of cocoauut oil. Stir briskly
until cold; then add, drop by drop, one
ounce of orange-flower water and ten

Timely and Untimely Cull.
The only objection to having a recep

sometimes, as the Irishman said, It was
"niolghty oncouveulent." "It Is the un

daughters or uu unmarried sister who
can till her place temporarily. It re
quires more unselfishness than most of
is iossess to give up one day every
week to the claims of society; so we

Monoerom Fnne for Young Women.
Seal and monogram fans are a notion
of the moment among young women
still in their teens. A plain white or
delicately tinted fan is selected, and
the gay seals ore arranged upon It with
what taste may bo. !f O'co;.;ramg rp
hoarded, it is these that decorate In
stead of the wax Impressions. A "trip"
fan means the record of a winter Jour

so much the better, ns that Insures

Sweater for Women.
For a long time girls, and even wo
men, have felt that they would be bap
pier If they could wear sweaters. It
was tried by some adventurous spirits,
and while found perfectly satisfactory
about the throat lacked the symmetry
women have learned to prize about the
waist. This had led to the manufacture
of women's sweaters. These lack that
style which made tho manly Bweater
so desirable In women's eyes. Hut, on
the other hand, they gather lu nt the
waist and are entered after a manner
more familiar to women than Is the
male sweater. At first they were only
nsod In gymnasiums, but now they are
considered a necessary part of almost
every woman's wardrobe. The up-to-date
sweater Is not only a sensible gar
ment, but nn exceedingly stylish one
ns well. The coming summer girl will
be devoted to the sweater. She can
wear It when wheellug, riding, or sail
ing, nnd In fact, they nre sure to be the
fastest friends, for there will be dozens
of times when the little knit arrange
ments will Just lit the occasion.
The modernized sweater is far re
moved from awkwardness. It fits like
a glove nnd the sleeves nre generally
the long, full blshopy sort, with a tight
webbed culT, which clings to the arm
snugly from elbow to wrist, nnd over
which tho full upper part falls with
nil gracefulness that fashion demands.
One can find nil colors and styles In
sweaters. Sailor . collars and neatly
rolled-over small ones are the kinds
most generally seen and they give a
very jaunty effort. The act of getting
Into one of these garments looks to be
a heart-breaking operation, but In real
ity It Is simplicity Itself. They either
button ou the shoulder or lace In front,
nnd it Is uo more trouble to get into
one of thein than nn ordinary waist.
ITenutics of Olden Days,
Sappho Is said by the Greek writers
to have been a blonde.
Jezebel, the Queen of Ahab, according
to oue of the rabbis, had "black eyes
that were set on lire by hell."
Margaret of Anjou had the typical
face of a French beauty. She was
black-haired, black-eyed and vivacious.
Her features were indicative of her
strength of chnracter.
Pocahontas Is described ns having
features ns regular as those of a Euro
pean womau. She is also said to have
had a lighter complexion than usual
among Indian women.
Theodora, the wife of the famous Jus
tinian, was beautiful, crafty and un
scrupulous. She is said to have been
tall, dark and with "powers of conver
sation superior to any woman lu the
empire."
Catherine of Braganza, queen of
Charles II., was slugulaily gifted both
in person nnd In Intellect, but lu spite
of her beauty and her good sense she
was uever able to win the love of her
dissolute husband.
Cleopatra was not an Egyptian, but a
Greek beauty, with perfectly white
sklu, tawny hair and blue eyes. Her
chief fascination was her voice, which
Is described ns low, well modulated and
singularly sweet In tone.
The Empress Cathariue I. had a
coarse, red face, generally broken out
with pimples from the constant use of
strong drink. She was a slave to brandy

I
THE FEMININE SWEATER.
LOVE MY DOG.
Dnffy was the property of Caldwell
of the Tenth, and was looked upon in
the light of an inheritance, having come
down to him from Weutworth of the
same when the latter had been ordered
away.
Caldwell went into Wentworth's
quarters at once and found Duffy rub
bing up a pair of his ex-niaster's dis
carded boots, with a view to using them
himself. He liked tho man's looks, and
be liked the condition of the vacated
quarters, with their slate gray painted
woodwork, so ho took the quarters and
agreed to take Duffy at a striker's usual
rate of remuneration.
Duffy entered promptly upon his du
ties, and was entirely satisfactory. He
bad no incumbrances in the way of fam
ily or sweethearts, and he was faithful
to a degree that was occasionally exas
perating. For six months be served
Caldwell in singleness of purpose, hav
ing iu that time been incapacitated only
for six days that is, for 48 hours after
each of the paymaster's visits, and
Caldwell, knowing the ways of strikers,
made no objection. Duffy slept nproar
iously iu his rooms, and Caldwell made
his own files, und brushed his own
clothes, and went with uublacked boots.
In the interim no hour was too early for
rising, none too late to sit up and keep
logs on the andirons that the rooms
might be warm and cheerful for the
"leftinant," uo duty imposed too ardu
ous provided it served Caldwell's ends.
Blackstone, seeing the excellence of
Duffy, departed from tho strict codo of
honesty in the matter of servants which
governs the army and made overtures
to the model striker. Blackstone had no
business to do it, and Duffy knew it,
and a line and inscrutable grin came
upon his Hibernian mouth.
Blackstone had said, with an assump
tion of off handedness, "Duffy, what do
you get?"
Having due regard for his employer's
credit in the world, he- answered calm
ly, "Twiuty dollars, sor."
"Get out I" said Blackstone.
"Yes, sor," replied Duffy.
"I want to know the truth, not lies
like that."
"You'd best ask the leftinant, sor. I
disrememher. "
"Ho works you deuced hurd."
"Dues he, then?"
"My man is no good. Suppose you
come to me. You won't have to sit np
to all hours for me. "
Duffy only smiled, but the smile was
not pleasing.
"What do you think of it, Dnffy?"
"I uivor think, sor. . The leftinant
says I'm to do as I'm told and not
think."
Upon this Blackstone went away, and
Duffy saluted him respectfully. In jus
tice to the officer's common sense, it
must be said that it was only partial in
toxication which could have led him to
place himself in such a position toward
a soldier.
Duffy did not repeat the conversation
to Caldwell, because he knew it would
make trouble between the two men, and
Caldwell whose disposition was not of
the mildest had several quarrels on his
hands as it was.
The lieutenant fell into the habit of
keeping the striker up very late, night
after night, so Duffy inspected bis pock
ets sovoral times iu succession while
Caldwell was sleeping as soundly as if
justice had been the soporific, and not,
as was the case, sutler's whisky, and he
judged, from the fact that sometimes
there was much loose change and ngain
almost nothing, that his master was play
ing too much at cards. There was noth
ing to be done, Duffy did not consider
that his duties as striker included the
moral guidance of his superior. He re
flected that it would be a good thing if
Caldwell should got married j only then
he, Duffy, would very likely lose his
place. So ho sat up night after night,
and it grew monotonous.
Just at this period there came into
Duffy's life a yellow and white dog.
Exactly why it should have wandered
to the door upon oue wet and freezing
night, when Duffy was in a particularly
weary frame of mind, and where it
came from he never knew. It was well
after midnight and Duffy was sprawled
in a leather chair of the troop saddler's
manufacture, dozing, with both ears
open, when there came a scratching at
the door. Duffy thought it was the lieu
tenant trying to find the knob. It had
never been so bad as that yet j neverthe
less the striker went and opoucd the
door, to be rewarded by the sight of an
extremely small and , miserable dog,
with piteous eyes.
Now, Duffy was only a soldier, and a
soldier loves nothing on earth or in
heaven as he does a cur. So Duffy called
the dog iu and warmed it and fed it
ad witched i with satisfaction beam
ing all over bis face. It was spottod
and dirty and wounded and woefully
thin, but Duffy took it to his heart. He
spent three nights before the fire, no
longer lonely, contentedly trying to find
a name for that dog. At last bo deter
mined to call it "Bessie," after the
much admired daughter of the com
manding officer and with a complete
disregard for the entire inappropriate
ness nf tho name.
After he had settled this to his satis
faction he tried to disoover accomplish
ments in the creature. "Here, Beesie.
old boy. Set np now, set up. Can't yon
sot up? Well, then, give us your paw,
leie, paw, paw, now. Can't yon
ns your paw? Well, then, lie down.
Charge, charge, charge. Down, lie
down, down. Can't you charge? Well,
then, speak, speak, Bessie, s-p-e-a-k,
speak now. Wow! Speak." But Bessie
could only follow him with his bright,
curious eyes and come when called. So
the solace of many more hours of pa
tient waiting lay iu teaching Bessie
these and many other tricks until he
was the most accomplished dog in all
the garrison and greatly beloved at the
barracks. Duffy was a little annoyed
about the comment the inappropriate
name called forth, but he insisted that
it was us good as another, aud the in
congruity was soon lost in Bessie's pop
ularity. Caldwell Eaw the dog only on rare oc
casions. It staid in its master's room
and slept on his bed and waxed fat in
retirement. He had spoken to it several
times, but otherwise took no notice of
its existence, which secretly riled Duffy.
But Caldwell was preoccupied and not
quite himself. He came home a good
deal the worse for wine oue night, and
Bessie, being in his way, got a kick that
sent him crouching to his master's side.
Caldwell might far better have kicked
Dnffy. However, the striker understood
and sympathized with tho lieutenant's
condition. He himself could never have
kicked a dog, even after pay day, tut
all men are not alike, so Duffy petted
Bessie and shut him up in his own room
and returned to look after the bodily
comfort of his master.
This, considering the wine, was par
donable, but the next offense could not
be condoned. It occurred in broad day
light, und Caldwell was sobei. He bad
been having an explanation with the
commanding officer, and that gentleman
had made reflection upon some of the
lieutenant's fast growing habits that bad
exasperated the already overworried
junior almost beyond endurance. He
strode into his quarters and found Duffy,
who was not expecting him, dividing
his attention between Bessie's charms
and the buckle of his master's belt Now,
Bessie's disposition iuclined him to for
give. He ran to Caldwell, looked np to
his face with soft, affectionate eyes and
put his little paws, oue yellow aud one
white, upon his knee. Caldwell did not
dare to kick the commandant, but be
kicked Bessie and broke the yellow
paw. It was the oue always held out to
Dnffy to greet him.
Duffy bandaged the paw, and in time
it grew well But Duffy huted Caldwell
with the most dangerous of hatreds a
silent aud a waiting one.
Caldwell's habits did not improve.
His fondness for whisky, whether good
or bad, continued. He hud good whisky
in his room, and Duffy knew it, for he
belonged to the old school of strikers,
who do not look upon 'cigars or liquor as
private property.
One day, after Bessie's foot was well,
Duffy went to get a drink, because his
spirits were low. There was very little
whisky in the decanter, barely half a
glassful, aud an idea suddenly flashed
into the striker's mind. Caldwell was
officer of the day. He never started to
make the rounds without taking enough
liquor to keep him warm, aud Duffy
knew it aud saw bis revenge laid bare.
The striker took Bessie for a walk
over to the hospital to show the steward
the mended paw.
"Say," said Duffy, "I've got the
toothache. I didn't sleep none last
night. Hev you got some what's that
you give me once? Laudanum, was it?
Kin you let me hev a bit?"
"Why, yes. I guess so," the steward
answered and went into the dispensary
to get it.
"Shall I take all that?" inquired the
Htriker, with sweet simplicity.
"Lord I No, man. Put some on cot
ton and stick it in the tooth."
"Oh, and what wud it do to mo if I
wuz to swallow it? Wud it kill me?"
"No, there ain't enough for that. It
would put you pretty fast asleep,
though."
"Oh I" said Duffy again.
Then Bessie went through his tricks
for the steward and trotted back home
at bis master's heels
That night Caldwell finished the
whisky in tho decanter and grumbled
that the sutler was selling him vile
tasting stuff, then started off a little
while afterward tO mnlA Ilia ,-nn.wlc.
The next day he was under arrest for
druukcuuess on duty. '

played reluctance, given some of the
most damaging testimony in regard trn
Caldwell's habits at the court niartia'
