Grips - rand Duchess Burope's pretty her ugly ones have joy in thelr Ahoarts. The rococo age has returned. The merits af rococo, which decked 90 quaintly the frivolous. eighteenth century, are its sentiment and it Clothes, It was the age of Strephons Abd Chioes, of Cupid's darts and long- ing hearts; it was alvo the age of queen- Jy shepherdeasses with crocks and princely spinsters at spinning wheels, who neither tolled nor spun. It was the ake of the artificially simple. Pretty princesses liked it because they looked adorable as shepherdess- es, and ugly women liked it because) with patches and powdered hair they Jooked not half so bad. And now that it has come back, everyone Is trying to be slmply-arti- ficial again. The princesses of thirty eae Courts are trying to look Uke Bhepherdesses, or fish-girls, or plow-women, and they adorably suc- ceed, From all corners come tales of elghteenth century fetes. Also the early ninteenth century is not cluded, and Berlin intely has had a wonderful exhibition of silhouettes, of which Prince August Wilhelm is an ardent collector. Crown Princess as Shepherdess. August Wilhetm s wite, who hails from Schleswig-Holstein, is a lead- Ang, rococolte. Lately she gave an Princesses also entertainment at which everyone ap- eared ag a Watteau or Lancret char- acter. Crown Princess Cecille, usually, a modern person given to weedy petti- conts and cabbagey hats, this time turned up as a shepherdess, and flap- ped a 3,000 fan painted by Monsieur Watteau himeelf. National costumes play a great role in this new rococo. Sometimes they are eighteenth century and some- times modern. Germany is the para- dise of types. She has no single na- tional costume, but a dozen different Prussia alone bas cos- local garbs. land, tumes, for Silesia, for East Fri fomes for siete for Bast Sie Dawn of Greater For. Northla Development of Immense Resources and Settlement of Fertile Prairies Will B Tron Horse, Six Lines f: Prominent among the resources eontriblite to the prosperity ot Attisbasca Landing is its fur trade, of which it is an important centre. Five large companies are engaged in th industry and have trading posts all along the Athabasca, Slave, Peace and McKensle rivers. T6 these posts come some of the finest furs with which the markets of the world are supplied. White trappers and Indian hunters vie with each other in their wily efforts to catch the fine furry denizens of the northern forests. Wheat Growing. addition to the fur trade, wheat growing is also coming into promin- ence upon the wide-spreading, fertile of the district. Around Fort Soe this has been profitably a on for over forty years. To those who regard the climate -as too: * Severe for profitable wheat culture an can be drawn with the-Russian Province of To- This iies in the same latitude as that between Athabasca Landing and the Arctic circle. This province in one year grew twelve million bushels -of wheat, five million bushels of rye and fourteen million bushels of oats. Tobaisk further exported in one year to England alone nineteen million pounds of butter. When it is remembered that the imate of Athabasca Landing s con- siderably less rigorous than that of the Russian territory referred to, it rill be seen that the possibilities of considerable magnitude. Here the Stiinook. winds sweep along the and Spirit rivers, and do much to modify the rigors of the colder, seasons. Forty-Pound Cabbages. Away at Fort Vermillion, three hundred miles north of Athabasca, it is no unuenal thing to harvest cab-' bages that weigh forty pounds, squashes that turn the scale at twen- ty-tive pounds, and fine, large toma- toes that have ripened in the open during July, As far back as: 1893 wheat grown sat Fort Vermillion was awarded first Drize at the great Chicago exposition, E.

The most national-costumey of all is Grand Duchess Alexandra Mecklonburg-Sehwerin, second daugh- ter of crusty old Duke of Cumber- Jand, pretender to the throne of Han- over, Hanover ceased to have throne In 1866, and the Duke now spends his vacant days trying to avoid Kaiser Wilhelm. But the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg s sister is, Crown Princess Cecilie, and this makes complications. The Cumber- lan children were all carefully train- ed to hate Prussia and the Hohenzol- lerns, and Grand Duchess Alexandra is expected by. her papa zealously to hate the Crown Prince. This fact is connected with the Grand Duchess craze for dressing as a Mecklenburg peasant. Mecklenburgers hate Prussians. They expect their Grand Duke to hold Prussia at a distance and to bring out when possible the difference between the two peoples. One differ- ence is that Mecklenburg has a very effective national dress. Grand Du- chess Alexandra wears t almost dal- ly. The Mecklenburg peasants call ordinary European garb Prussian clothes, and now the the Princess forswears Prussian clothes, they are delighted. Outside Germany, the new rococo, craze is strongest in Roumania. The creator there is the heirs wife, principesa Maria. Principesa Ma- ria and-her still prettler daughters, Wlisaveta and Maria, and her pretty son, Printal Carol, all walk about) the Roumanian earth in weirdly prim- itive robes, Crown Principesa ap- pears in a robe, carrying a pitcher of water, and Printul Carol appears as a potato-digger, while Principesa Maria Junior appears sometimes as an angel. Prosperity nd of Athabasca Stimulated By Arrival of or Which are Now Planned. while farther back still, in 1876, a first award was secured at Philaacl phia for wheat grown at Fort Chype- wan. The Hudson's Bay Company. maintains 4 flour. mill at Fort Ver- million, where the grist runs to large proportions. Eighteen hours of bright sunshine during th growing season, accounts for these phenomenal results. Splen- did irrigation during spring from the snows of winter also has its share in the -resuljs obtained, Other natural resources Included in the toll of the district's wealth are oil, coal, Iumber, pulp wood, iron ore, ashphalt, gypsum, natural gas, salt and other clay products. Six Rafiways Planned. Within three years it is anticip: ed that the country will have no less than six railways, three of them guaranteed by the Alberta Govern- ment. These will open up the coun- try from end to end, access to all parts of it becoming avaliable. With this the inrushing tide of settlement will be a matter of sure and natural sequence, Wide spreading plains of brown buffalo grass and pea vine will then give place to fertile fields of wheat and oats, while the wild ant- mals which now roam practically un- molested will b replaced by the do- mestic bovine. lt; lt; gt; As an instance of the growing tide of- settlement. which is already pu ing back the northern bounds of civilization, the announcement of the Hudson's Bay Company's intentions) to run steamboat excursions next Season to the Arctic Circle may be cited. For a distance of more than four thousand miles these boats will go down the Arthabasca river, on by the Great Slsve and McKenzie streams, returning by way of the Peate to Peace River Landing, from whence a stage route will be main- tained to Grouard, from which point the round trip will be concluded by way of the Athabasca to the Landing. Another factor which will assist in the development of the country is the wagon road which the Govern- ment contemplates constructing from Athabasca Landing to Fort Vermil- lion, Immense stores of freight, which transportation companies were unable to carry in this scason,- will be carried during the winter by sleigh routes. As a tourist centre, its attractions are unique and becoming more gen- erally appreciated each year. Mr. J.
