Right royally was the order given, and right worthily, perhaps, Mo JOHN D was it devised, but she might as well have forbidden the mountain | i pines to wag their high tops when they are fretted by the gusts of | Heaven. She has ventured upon something that is “aboon her micht,” | as her Scottish councillors might have told her. | British Queens are potent personages enough.

But they never ventured to fix fashions in feminine garments. Wisely they left that to irresistible Paris. ——$_-4+-_—__— 3 WHEN TIMES CHANGE.
