THE KING AT WORK AND PLAY

The kin? is an inveterate smoker.

Edward VI L is rather a light eater except at dinner, and has never been a gnat vvir.c drinker.'

Whether in England or on the continent, the king receives by telegraph every night an abstract of the work of the house of commons.

One of the happiest moments of the king's life was when he won the Derby with Persimmon in IS9G. This had long been the ambition* of his life.

Shooting, the king places above all other entertainments that can be offered him, and his principal visits have always been paid in the shooting season.

In his own set his favorite topic of conversation lias been clothes. Over the f.ishion of a tie, the cut of a jacket, and even the shape of a boot, he will grow loquacious. The king is an expert shoemaker, a handicraft to learn when a bo}-, being obliged by his royal parents to learn some trade. He has worn shoes of his own make.

The king, the lord mayor and the cons-table are the only ones who know the password of the Tower of London. This password is sent to the mansion house quarterly, signed by his majesty, and is a survival of as ancient custom.

Ruler of the largest empire the world has ever known, Edward VII. of England, the mightiest of nionarchs, reigns over about 400,000,000 people, or a quarter of mankind. In other words, nearly one person out of every four owes allegiance to him.

One hobby of Edward's is collecting crystals. For some time he has been collecting historic specimens, those expensive baubles which for centuries have been regarded in the orient as. revealers of the future. Last year, at an auction of crystals his majestywas outbid by an American woman*, who paid $4,000 for a crystal. He also know* all about ceramics and bronzes.. __ AS DAME FASHION DECREES,.

The latest spangle is square. "\ ] A new ehade of blue is eafled angelique. Up-to-date ribbons hare tuck* on the border and gauze centers. Nun's veiling with ehinj; colored silk borders are among the. drees novelties. An odd model for a foulard gown.. fa of ice-blue, ringed with wnirte andj black. >*- s ; [ studs an* euff-buttoos <Pof baroque pearls will appeal to,/the ihirtwaist girk It is predicted that brown will be a favorite color in the 'autumn. Caator, beaver and zibelin/j tones will all be seen. . Gobelin blue and other old blue shades are just now in Paris, and many aiyiistio gowns have been seen in these tints.. Pearls and brilSants form some of the handsomest hat pins. Many enameled ones are made in imitation of Florentine and Russiato. mosaics. Apparently the correct suit for early fall tennis, yachting and boating is to be white, with styflish choice resting betwaen serge, alpaca and flannel. One stunning gown of white serge was plaited at sides and back, the plaits finished with a stitched band of bright red taffeta. Another whs trimmed with straps otf bright green. Very striking effects In trhnniii .g are mada with black velvet ribbo:;, in striping, crossing and recrossu:g to such an extent that whole gowns are literally covered with it. Colored velvet ribbons, too, are used in many fanciful designs.
