GREAT LOVE STORIES OF HISTORY By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE Mary, Queen of Scots, and Bothwell (Copyright hy tto Author.) This is the love story of a fascinat ing, wicked woman and of a man who was quite as wicked without being in the least fascinating. The woman was Mary Queen of Scots. The man was her husband, James Hepburn, earl of Bothwell. Mar/ inherited the crown of Scot land. In eavly youth she married King Francis II. of France. He died and she came back to rule her own country. The gay, frivolous French court had just suited Mary's light na ture. With the harsh, grave, quarrel some Scots who now surrounded her she had nothing in common. She shocked them. They bored her. For state reasons she married her cousin, young Lord Darnley. He was a big, awkward, stupid, weak feMow whom Mary grew to despise. He was des perately afraid of her, and was jealous as well. He had ample cause for both emotions. The marriage was unhap py. So was Mary's whole reign. She disliked her people. They distrusted her. From the first everything seemed to go wrong. It was when affairs were at their worst that Bothwell loomed up big on the political horizon. Though of high rank, he was a ruffian adventurer, who had more than once been mixed up in treasonable and other unlawful esca- A Queen and adf a "1« 7 an Adventurer. RIf?"®. the queens elder ly secretary, and in a fit of rage sought Mary's death or imprisonment. Bothwell, with a strong army at his back, interfered in her behalf. He also helped to stir her dislike for Darnley into hatred. Soon afterward Darnley was assassinated. There can be no doubt that Bothwell caused his murder or that Mary knew beforehand what fate the earl had plotted for her young husband. With Darnley out of the way all was clear sailing for Both well. He had gained tremendous in fluence over the queen. Where other men flattered her he bullied her. Where others begged for her favor Bothwell brutally demanded it. He was her master by sheer force of will and rough strength. This sort of man appealed to Mary's fickle heart. She loved him more and more devotedly the more brutal treatment she re ceived at his hands. Whatever orders he gave she meekly obeyed. It was another case of Beauty and the Beast. Directly after Darnley's murder Bothwell planned a master stroke in his game of courtship and statecraft. As Mary was riding back to Edin- QUEEN ELIZABETH AND ESSEX Queen Elizabeth of England at the time this story begins was 60 years old. She was tall, thin, and ugly and had a fearful temper. Her teeth were black from tobacco and decay, and she wore a red wig. Robert Devereux, earl of Essex, was barely 21. He was hand some, accomplished and of fine figure, besides being one of the best edu cated men of his day. He was popular and seemed to have a great future in store. It pleased Elizabeth to fancy herself in love with him. This love affair was destined to make both of the participants miserable and to end Essex's life at 34. Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII. and Anne Boleyn. On the death of her half-sister, Mary, she be came queen of England. She surround ed herself with wise counsellors, and encouraged literature, exploration and all the arts. For this reason her reign was England's "golden age." Eliza beth never married. Yet she was in the habit of falling in love with nobles of her own court and of carrying on violent flirtations with them. Their flattery delighted her. She believed in it all. Such men as succeeded in making the queen think they adored her usually rose high in power but they found it no easy task to gratify her tremendous vanity or to avoid her furious temper. The best and last of these nobles who won her fleeting af fections was the young earl of Es sex. He was at 21 an accomplished soldier and cour tier. That he really loved Elizabeth is very doubtful. But he was ambi tious and jumped at so dazzling a chance for advancing his own inter ests. At heart he was honest and im pulsive. It was not as easy for him as for his predecessors to keep on good terms with the cranky old queen and to soothe her ill-hufnor with pret ty speeches. In fact, so tiresome did he find the royal flirtation that he tried to amuse himself more once by making love to her majesty's maids of honor. But this was perilous pastime. For Elizabeth was as jealous as she was vain. A Royal Flirtation. 2.- 767,316,000 bushels, which is nearly Court life wearied young Essex. Wars, exploration's and other sorts of adventure wera going on all about him. But Elizabeth would not let him take part in any of these expeditions. She could not bear to have him out of her sight. He loved excitement and found existence dreary at the palace. So in 1587, when he was 22, he slipped away secretly and joined Drake's fleet that was sailing on Portugal. But Elizabeth sent a message after the fleet commanding Essex "at his utter most peril" to come back at once. Back he came, angry and chagrined, In no mood to meet Elizabeth's re proaches. In this mood he picked a quarrel with Sir Charles Blount, on whom the queen had also deigned to cast a favoring eye. He and Blount fought a duel, in which Essex was wounded and disarmed. Life at the court dragged on for a while longer. Then Essex fell in love with the clever widow of Sir Philip Sydney and married her. The mar riage was kept secret for fear of the queen's wrath. Nor was the fear In vain. When Elizabeth learned of the Wedding she was enraged beyond measure. Yet such was her fondness burgh on April 2«, 1567, from a visit to her infant son (Vho was afterward James I. of England). Bothwell, at tho head of an armed force, met her carried her away to Dunbar castle. Though this daring act was supposed to be nothing less than a piece of law* less kidnaping, it is more than prob able that Mary not only freely con sented to the scheme, but had helped to plan it. At any rate, she made no resistance. Bothwell promptly di vorced his faithful wife, and on May 15, 1567 (barely three months after Darnley's death), he and Mary were married. Mary had meanwhile made Bothwell duke of Orkney. But he was, to all intents and purposes, the real ruler of Scotland. When he and Mary appeared in public he used to hold his cap in his hand to show he was her subject. But Mary would snatch the cap from him and put it on his head to indicate that he was her equal. He tyrannized over her and be haved toward her with none of the courtesy or deference due her rank. He had apparently won his life's ambi tion and no longer troubled to show civility to the woman to whom he owed all. But the more cruelly he treated her the more Mary loved him. The Scotch lords hated Bothwell and had no idea of accepting him as their ruler. They rose in arms and took Mary away from him. She es caped from them disguised as a boy and joined Bothwell. Then the lords marched against the lovers in open warfare. Bothwell, who was as brave as he was brutal, offered to settle the Th- quarrel by single The End of the Romance. But, indirectly, the Scotch queen was avenged. Her descendants, the Stuart kings, misruled England and (by their fickleness and other evil qualities inherited from Mary) made that country suffer untold misfor tunes. for Essex that she at last pretended to forgive him, and he was in a meas ure restored to royal favor. High honors and offices were showered upon him. Yet Elizabeth, it seems, never quite pardoned his crime of dar ing to prefer another woman to her self. His former power over her was gone. The end was drawing near. She no longer forbade him to embark on dangerous enterprises but she man aged to see that he got scant profit or glory from such expeditions. Once, when he protested against a piece of manifest injustice on her part, Eliza* be boxed his ears, and with a volley of profanity bade him "go to the devil." This scene killed any linger ing trace of affection between the two. The Fall of the Favorite. In 1599 he was made lord lieutenant of Ireland and sent to quell an upris ing in that country. He failed to car ry out his mission, and on his return was deprived of his titles and put un der arrest. Soon he was set free, but forbidden to come to court. He now tasted all the bitterness of a fallen favorite of fortune. The wealth, high offices and power lavished upon him by Elizabeth were snatched away. He had sacrificed his youth, his indepen dence, his ambitions—all for nothing. To a man like Essex such a fall from favor was intolerable. Misfo» tune turned his brain. Instead of ac cepting his ill-luck gracefully the mis guided man actually tried to stir up a revolution. He was captured and, con demned to death. On February 21, 1601, the sentence was carried out. Essex was beheaded. He was only 34. But for his unfortunate affair with the queen he might have won perman ent greatness and fame. Elizabeth is said to have been dis tracted with grief and remorse at her former favorite's death and to have reproached herself bitterly for her treatment of the young earl. She sur vived him by only two years. GOOD CLIMBER. The stranger in the slums passed before the rickety collection of smeared canvas, clothes props and knotted ropes. "What have we here?" he inquired of the small boy with the biaok hair and red feather. "Show," elucidated the youngster. "What kind of a show?" "Romeo and Juliet. I'm Romeo." "But where did you ever learn to act such a classical drama? Who taught you how to play Romeo?" "Dad." "Ah, and is TWO CQmbat with champIon the lords might name. The challenge was rejected. The queen's followers deserted her. She was at the lords' mercy. Hemmed In and unable to escape, she kissed Bothwell good-by with many tears and surrendered to her foes. Bothwell, seeing all was lost, deserted her, and, slipping through the enemy's lines, escaped to Norway. There he was captured, and died in sane in a Scandinavian prison. Mary was dethroned. She fled for protection to England. There Queen Elizabeth cast her into prison and later had her beheaded. your father a Shake spearean actor?" "No, sir he's a porch climber.

It has always been a stock material. This year the weave is ut terly unlike anything we have had. There were a few patterns of it last winter, to be accurate, but this year there are a great number, a bit rough er than before. The woman who reads that serge Is In fashion, and then buys the kind that she used to wear, the kind that men's suits are made of, has thrown away money. The weave this year is the wide wale kind, the wider the bet ter. The cord in the new serge is heavy and rough, and the marking has a good deal of character about it. Fur to Match Gown.

The hat of English crape, shown in Fig. 1, is a perfect example of the millin er's art using this exquisite material as a means of expression. The en tire hat is covered with crape, the brim made of narrow parallel folds. The crown has wide folds for its covering also a drapery of crape with a large buckle of dull jet. serve as a mounting for the pompon of down feathers and aigrette mounted at the left side. In shape, this hat is graceful and of a kind that will not soon be out of style. Such shapes should be selected for mourning, as good mourning fabrics are very durable and will outlast the accepted periods of mourning, if well selected. English crape should be chosen, as it is manufactured to withstand moisture which is ruinous to crapes not protected against it. In this particular fabric, the English excel all other manufacturers and the great modistes who specially design mourning use this crape. It is the most beautiful of the fabrics used for mourning. Silk grenadine is equally popular, although not universally recognized as first mourning. There is much latitude in the selection of fabrics, however, and many persons prefer grenadine to any other. The hat and veil shown in Fig. 2 are of this beautiful fabric. It is also of English manufacture, although the English send to various parts of the world—including America—for the materials necessary to make and dye both crape and grenadine. This mate rial is manufactured waterproof. This is very necessary in order that the rain or snow may not spot the grenadine. One can easily test the material by immersing it in water. If properly made the dye will not run and the fabric will remain unchanged. Crape should be subjected to the same test. The crimp is not affected by water and its color remains unchanged.

NOW THE RGBIN HOOD HAT Style That Divides Favor with What Is Known as the Prairie, of Felt and Suede. Millinery is one of the most impor tant features in the toilette of the woman who wishes to be well dressed, and to-day the cult of the plain hat is as carefully considered as the elabo rate. the subject being as inexhaustible as the budget itself. The craze for beaver still continues, but it is safe to predict that as the winter ap proaches black will lead the van, adorned with cinnamon and royal blue ostrich plumes for visiting and velvet for morning wear. The Robin Hood hat is the latest shape to make its de but carried out in this charming ma terial. As will be remembered, the hat worn by the famous outlaw of this name was turned up on one side, had rather a high crown, and was trimmed with two long quill-like feathers. The smart mondaine, although retaining the shape, has substituted a rosette of tinsel and a tuft of breast plumage for the feathers. For traveling it will divide honors with the prairie hat, which is fashioned of felt and relieved with a band of suede of a contrasting shade.—From the Tatier. Gobelin Green Again. The hats of this winter will again show that entrancing shade of green known as gobelin. It will be used in thick, short plumes and thick long ones, but not in ribbons or moire. Twenty-Inch Rope of Pearls. The fashion in length tor a string of pearls has changed. It was once 14 inches, then 16 now the correct string mvst measure 20 inches. -A Golden Feather. It can be made of an old quill from which the battered feathers have been stripped. Gold lsce is sewn as a scant ruffle on each side, the end being slightly pointed. You have no idea how effective this is on a fur turban. From this idea a departure into the realms of silver, bronze or jeweled lace can be made, and at little cost. This quill, with a band of braid or lace to match, will furnish sufficient trimming for a velvet or fur toque. Shadow Lace.
