The reason for her suicide is attributed by reports from the imperial court to a quarrel be- tween Princess Chin and the empress dowager, Princess Chun. It is declared the empress dowager |deulred that the boy emperor should marry a daughter of President Hsu Shi-chang, but the princess supported the erstwhile monarch’s wish to mar- ry another lady, ard it' is declared that the quarrel ended .with the sui- cide of the princess. Another report is to the effcct that the emperor is alleged to have shown no respect' for the dowager, and neglected the usual court ceremonies. his caused the dowager-to upbraid the young man’s parents, whereupon the mother swal- lowed opium and died soon afterward. The -emperor is now living in re- tirement, and is réported to have said he would not marry until he had seen the world and made an attempt to find means to shake off the influence of the empress dowager. 2 i i Each hook holds two keys, yetsthe Key Kase when full is as thin as a pocketbook. i In various sizes and grades from 30c to S2. 50.
