T ITTLE PRINCESS By DAVID CORY \\nLLFUL

The little princess sat before her dressing table combing her long golden

hair.

"It's very dreadful to have so many people love you.” she said to herself in the mirror. “It’s reaily a very suJ t.iing indeed to make so many princes

n*: happy."

Now the little princesr did not really ro-an this, for she was something of a flirt, but then It sounded well and. besides, she wanted to impress her favorite monkey who sat beride her on the rug contemplating the

celling.

■•Nonsense!" said he "you know you 10ve admiration more than anything in the world—except me,” he ndd.-d impartially, surveying himself

in the mirror.

"You conceited little wretch," cried •he little princess. "If yon were a man now I'd punish you for that. But you're only a monkey and, besides I'm too fond of you." Which showed that the little princess had a neart though nc man ns yet had been so fortunate

as to And It.

"Very well, n strange princes comes

inlay U> visit the castle, him fall In love with you.”

"What shall I do?” Inquired the

little princess.

“Tell him.” answered the monkey, "(hat there Is no use In his coming at all. as you are tired to di-ath of adtni

rs-tlon."

"Oh. you dear monkey! bow interesting It will be!" cried the little princess. catching hold of the monkey's forelegs and waltzing around the room with him “But suppose he Is very handsome." she said thoughtfully after « pause . The monkey smiled sarcastically. " v “Oh. well.” aaid the little princess, flushing. *T11 stick to the bargain but you need not be disagreeable about it." Now there were half a dozen suitors ef the little princess coming that after-

noon to learn their fate

The king and queen were very much worried about their willful daughter Bhe would not marry ofty of the many princes who sought her hand. The king and queen could not understand a cirl like this and neither could the

The little princes* descended the marble stairs to the court room where the royal papa and mamma sat in state upon their royal thrones. The tnonkey ttotlcd beside her and she confided to him on the way that .•l-e felt more willful than ever. The si* princes sat watching the door expectantly. As she entered they all rose and formed a line in front of her. The little princess, b'nrever, was not dismayed. She faced them

biavely.

"Now yon know." said *be. “that I have told you each separately many rimes that 1 do not love you. But because my pappa and mamma feel so badly that I do not marry I may decide upon one of you today. I am going to ask each of you the same question and perhaps I'll marry the one whose answer pleases me the best." Tae princess said nothlnr. but bowed , v cry low in answer "What made you love me?” she asked turning to the prince at the head ot the line. "Because you are so beautiful." bs

rt plied.

And the next prince gave the same answer, and the next, and the nevt. ontil the little princess was qnite

vearied with the same reply. As she turned to go she noticed

another prince, a stranger, who bud come unnoticed ln<o the room. Their •■yes met and she approached with the

dire confuslrn:— “Oh. really. I beg youi pardon—I didn’t mean that, either. You • at least—oh. jast wait till I get at that miserable monkey!" The prince looked politely inquir-

ing.

"I suppose you think I am perfectly c.azy." said the little princcas in great

atnnyance.

/or answer the prince only smiled. ,»t this the little princess could sta id no more. She marched off in l.tg i dugcon. dismissing the six pettant princes without any satlsfactio i and going in search of the ! ksy. She found him in her own i

ai leep on his mat.

Really, your princes are very tlresotie." he said, when she awakenod him “I feel quite worn out ” •"Vom out!" ejaculated the lit' prii cess, indignantly. Yon are a perfect sneak of a monkey! What right ha> yon to run away Just when 1 in : neb trouhb ? I have a great mind

tc inch you.”

”1 ‘ you do." aaid the monkey, "I won : glvr yon any mote advice and

1 kr >w you want somebody."

,e ‘ I '.he 'ittle princess suddenly dimpled all over. “He really Is unusually interesting.” she *aid demurely. “Oh. dear, monkey, tell me how to make him love me and I’ll give you the 1 iggest sugar plum you ever had In your life If rou think he ever would really and truly love me." she added with the most surprising humility. *‘f think I woulu like to marry him very

much indeed.

■"Then.” said the monkey, "all yon have to do is to go ahead and be Just as much like yourself as possible.” Which was really the most complimentary thing tli.it lb" monkey in his position as adviser to the princess, had ever said to her. All of a sudden, however the little princess saw through it all. Running to the monkey, she knelt beside him. exclaiming: "You dear, wise, old monkey! You did It all on purpose! Vim knew I was too wilful to fall in love any other way!” But the monkey never said a word —only sat and smiled and regarded the handsome prince and the l!ttl princess complacently.

Sometimes the mother of a girl will make this complaint when the gown is for the daughter. And that is not all—sometimes the hue bend demands It!” Stage It Scored The new organization Is making Immodest utlire In the ballroom only,

The French organization, numbering many of the leading suffrage workers of the country, will call for an exchange of views on the par of women of every nation, with a view to adopting an international appeal against prevailing fashions and some theatrical productions.

Mme. Germaine Marcille, one of the leaders in the French movement for dress reform, said that nearly forty women's organizations have signed the society's first circular of protest to the big dressmakers. She believes the movement will have a big effect on next winter's styles.
