At the first State dinner after her marriage ”he horrified the court ladies by tak- ving off her gloves. One of them rep- onstrated because it was a deviation from the rules. But the Empress Promptly settled that objection by saying that the deviation should henceforth be the rule. The court ia.. dies had another blow when the Fan- press insisted on wearing a. pair of boots a month or more. The rules had re- quired an Empress to wear her shoes only once. "Just think," teeiingl, exclaimed a girl, "of being always m a state of breaking in a new Pair of Shueel No wonder the poor lady re- belied." Some time ago the Louisville Com- mercial published an article headed: "Found at Last! The Search for the Meanest Man on Earth Has Been Busi- ly 1_lrosecuttsd tor Years, but I Claim the Proud Distinction of Having Locat- ed Him. He Lives at Owensboro'." The paper was thereupon sued for libel by J. ll. Tennelly, of Owensboro', Ky., who, although he was not named, as- sertetf. that he was the man referred to. The Commercial admitted this, and attempted to prove that the state- ment concerning Tennelly was true. The latter has just obtained judgment for the return tide of fashion. An Eng- lish woman says that the Queen of Holland has only recently had her eers pierced. "This," writes the English woman, "was attributed to the [act that her ears, be it said, with bated breath, are neither small nor beau- tiful. In fact, their lobes are distress- ingly large and thiek." The new ear- rings are not of the elaborate pend- ant variety and many people think they relieve the monotony, as it were, of too expensive ears. the good cooking of the average Wife.
