WOMAN'S WORLD

(Conducted by '\Biiee».") PRINCE'S LOVE STORY Austrian newspapers publish an interesting story of tlm romance of the young Bulgarian Crown Prince Boris,' who, when lie first caught a glimpse of her. was struck with Princess Elizabeth, mid when he saw her photograph later he fell in love with her. When he came of age Prince Boris informed King Fcrdinanil, his lather, of his desire to marry the pi incogs, and 'declared that otherwise lie would remain .single all hi* life.

King Ferdinand had no objection to .the match, but King Caiol, of Roumauia, ■on being approached, objected for political reasons. King Ferdinand, however, persuaded the Austrian Emperor, during ■his recent visit to Vienna, to use his influence with the King of Roumania, and this proved so successful that the official announcement of the engagement of the young couple is expected shortly. A MOTHER'S PITIFUL PLIGHT.

! Following is an extract from the (Weekly Dispatch, an English journal, [from a mother's own lips, which, on investigation, was fotnd to be perfectly true:—' "My husband," she said, "has been out of. work for six weeks, and to-day we have been without anything to eat. We have five children. .One girl earns 5s in a.cigar factory., That is all our income, anij' our rent.is ,7s-per week. My youngest children got. a breakfast at Paddy's .Goose, this morning; My eldest rirl came back- from the, factory for linner, but I had nothing to offer her. She bravely said, 'Chei»r up, mother, fo'raps,dad,has got a'job.' and we may nave aomefhing at tea-time.' When she pame back ,in the evening, there was i' 'ill' nothing for lier. ■; My husband had Hed;to get •$, job ,pf any -kind. ■ In' the ternoon my little child, o{ three cried teously .for., food.-' -She -said: 'Mum,' I hungry.'

RAGE FOB. HYPNOTISM

I kinging students all over America are crowding the offices 'of hypnotic experts ..entreating, hysterically fo/a course of ; treatment-that-is tbeon'yert them into' possible prima dohiuw. According .to the London .Mail; thi*e foolish" women'ire' .willing to pay.iilraost am' .sum 'to the' so-called hypnotic e.vpert"w),o will' enable them to emulate, the remarkable" performance of Miss -Ma™,., ''Oraham/ : who, at Ihc'Musk? T«,r|.ln,-s ! I to„ye„ti6n' at Columbia fnivcrsitv recently, appeaiv cd as a modern trilby /winging 1,^.: idly under a'hypnotic spc |l cast uW her by a well-known hypnotist.'' The'' medical profession view-with almost nni-' versa! alarm this'desire of students and' .chorus girls "to become Trill)vs." Inter- 1 views are published in which the scionli-' .lie opinion: is advanced; that "to . sin-V under h.Vpnotisnj" means, Wow' but'eerta'w suicide.' - "Hypnotism," ' declared 'one •doctor "depletes' tlitf will." ! R. takes'the !bood from the'seat of'theWrebrum and ■allows ,f to ffinf into/the emotional centres. Any- young perspn who tries .to sing under.avhypnotic spell runs the risk of all *,rts of throat'arTections,es P e.. cially tonsilitis. Insanity or.very likely blmdness may als6 supervene. ' It i' s not Nature's way of singing, and. Nature bas placed on it an almost prohibitive punishment.'' ..<!.. '

AN ELECTRIC CRADLE

rhe latest ig what a Paris' contemporary, tern,s ,;»„„, beVceur eleetrique." The cradle .is lived to a balance ,and this is connected; with a phonograph.' .As soon as the baby cries, vibrating tab- , lets of the apparatus are set in motion and these in. turn, affect tin; phonograph, whirln emits a lullabv. The rotation of the cylinder caused the. cradle to rock, and this pacifies the baby. \ 9 ■ soon as the baby's cries cease the cradle no longer rocks. By this means the domestic occupations of the mother are not interrupted to look after the baby

WOMAN'S VAGARIES

"Are women neater than men?" was' a query recently asked by a evuical old bachelor, who is a stem critic" as to all that regards a woman's get-up. This was the reply:—"Women are endowed with strange vagaries, and while extremely fastidious in many wavs, arc neglectful in others. Eveii the'smartest girls are not always so particular as to the freshness of their neck and wrist wear as the plain uv.'rvday man of business. To change, his linen at least once a day is a sort of religion with most men. With women it is different. They will inspect (heir collars and cuffs after a rinv's hard wear, and decide that (hey will do, nol. recognising the fact that if any doubt exists on the matter they should he consigned to the laundry without demur. Again, , a man is generally much more concerned as to the state of his shoos than ;< woman."
