It appears that Zita pre- fond Tania current in Paris to the fashions" that you see In Berlin. that the lady, plained was dressed as if she were going to a French restaurant. The Empress-Queen is also accused of having set her court in a roar with comic drawings of the skirts and feet | of exalted ladies in the suite of the Hohenzollerns. She has flatly refused to tolerate a practice of dispensing with stockings, after the new Berlin mode, and is accused of wearing a corset smuggled into Vienna from Pari¢. a thing forbidden to the Ger- man Empress herself, , Another source of discord is the persistence of Zita in using French as the of the nursery. She préfers it in corresponding with her brothers now fighting with the allies. Even the cooking at the palace is French, for Zita cannot, we learn, en- dure sausage, and the mere name of pumpernickel gives her indigestion. An embarrassing episode was nar- rowly averted on one of the Hohen- zollern visits by her ignorance of the words of "Déutschland uber Alles." Ancther patriotic hymn- was substi- Sued, but the lady did not know that, either. Early in her married life the Bour-| bon Zita discovered, the Figaro in- fcrms us, that her youthful consort, although attractive, is no intellectual prodigy. Her effort to atone for his| deficiencies by her own mental gifts is responsible for the course of re- cent political history at Vienna. She is said to have begun a cor- respondence with the Pope, which had not gone far when it leaked out that her letters were intercepted.

Korniloff, while distributing prizes at a gymnasium class for cadets at Petrograd, seized the opportunity to give the students at lecture fn regard to the softness of the rising genera- of the generation to which he himself belonged "Why, when I was a cadet here," he said, "we made it a rule to gather on the banks of the Neva every morning insthe spring, summer and autumn and swim three times across the river." The statement was received in chilling silence, followed by a burst of applause when 'a student asked in a puzzled tone: "Try that case, sir, may I inquire how you managed about' your clothes ?"

Boats With Eyes. + The Chinese have 'a queer custom of painting an eye on the bow of 'a boat so that it may easily see its way through the water. mall boats as "yell as large must have an eye, and nothing must be permitted to cover it. "There is a story of an Englishman 'who, while travelling in China, let his dangle over the painted eye of a small boat in which he was sailing. The owner, becoming very excited, n |' beggedathe Englishman not tp: inter- ly | fore with the si of the boat while the water.

A plain rel ribbon worn on the British soldier's tunic denotes that the wearer holds the Good Conduct Medal granted only after eighteen years of exemplary service. But a certain old soldier found a new way to describe the honor. A lady, peering at the red ribbon on his tunic, inquired what it was for.
