A doctor's cer­ tificate is generally necessary in order to obtain this permission.—London Tit- Bits.----- TOE LATEST POSTAL TOKEN. for the are the the one Sight of Splendor and Magnificence Unsurpassed at Any Other Court of Europ-3. The average person probably finds it d fficult to understand why there should be such a keen desire on the part < f society people to be presented at Court. To the uninitiated, the mere honor or pleasure—however you may like to re­ gard it—of making a curtsy to the King and Queen in the ballroom of Bucking­ ham Palace scarcely compensates one f- r lhe expense and trouble involved. As a matter of fact, a presentation at Court means a great deal to those who move in upper circles. Without it a woman has no recognized social posi­ tion; she is never invited to Royal en­ tertainments, and when visiting a for­ eign country cannot be presented to its Sovereign. In the old days, when a ■lady had been once presented, she could ccnt'nue to attend Courts, uninvited and unchallenged, until the end of her life. Bui time has changed that privilege. However, it is obvious that there still great inducements to secure precious card of invitation from Lord Chamberlain which entitles to attend the Court. Everybody who is anybody is to be seen at a Court presentation—princes, lords, and dukes, grey-haired ambassa­ dors, generals, politicians, and diploma­ tists, down to young attaches, all at­ tired in FULL UNIFORM OR COURT DRESS, the men’s attire, in many cases, being no less brilliant and gorgeous than the dazzling confections worn by young debutantes who nervously await their turn for presentation. Those who by right of birth are en­ titled to attend at Court are members of the aristocracy and of the leading county families, the wives and daugh­ ters of officers in the Army and Navy, of clergymen and barristers, of import­ ant financiers, and of men engaged n (large commercial enterprises. But the line is rigidly drawn at those occupied in retail trade, no matter how refined or well connected they may be. Now-a- days several titled women, members of old families, keep shops of their own, jand this fact entirely prevents their appearance at Court. This rule is ab­ solute, and has no exceptions. The general company drive into the courtyard of Buckingham Palace under the portico at the Slate entrance. There is also another entrance, known as the P.mlico door, through which members of the Diplomatic Corps and what is known as the Entree company are al­ lowed to pass. By entering with the general company, however, one obtains a splendid view of some of the beauties of Buckingham Palace. Alter alighting at lhe Doric portico, the debutante enters the large but some­ what low-ceiiinged -entrance-hall, with its marble floor and staircase, and its double row of pillars in PURE WHITE CARRARA MARBLE. From the hall access can be obtained to the so-called Bay Window Room, which is one of the finest on the gar­ den floor of Buckingham Palace. The Bow Library is used as a cloak-room, where wraps and cloaks are left and numbered tickets received in exchange. • The staircase is a model of splendor. Every step is a solid piece of white marble, and the gold and cream ceiling shows some marvellous decoration. Sta­ tioned on the staircase and everywhere about are Yeomen of the Guard dressed in red and gold, with neck rutiles, buckled shoes, and the flat hats that have become known by their name. Attentive gentlemen ushers pass the guests on in batches of about thirty through the ante-rooms which lead to the last halting-place, the Tapestry Cor­ ridor. The ballroom, where the Court is held, is a superb saloon, with walls [ panelled in crimson and a floor of sat-| inwood and mahogany. ■ a fine organ and the Majesty’s musicians. The King and Queen room about ten o’clock, ceded by the White Staves and followed by the most important officers of the Stale, who, together with other members of lhe Royal Family, take up their posi­ tion in a semi-circle round their Ma­ jesties in order of precedence. Then the business of the evening commences. Trains are let down and spread upon the floor, cards are passed from hand to hand, and A GREAT SILENCE PREVAILS, broken to a nervous / debutante's, ear only by the sound of her own tread <n the polished floor and by the announce­ ment of her name in a tone of official authority. When (he two deep curtsies have been duly made, the lady has to retire from the Royal presence- with all th ■ grace at her command. Formerly a debutante was obliged 'o undergo tile nerve-trying ordeal of kiss­ ing the Queen’s hand, and, if a peeress, of being saluted on both cheeks, while, in addition, she was obliged to walk backwards from the Royal presence. But King Edward has altered all that. Their Majesties remain seated, and a cur;sy is all that is required. Between one and two hours are thus tak ?n up with the business of presenta­ tion., fdter which the King and Queen retire from the ballroom to partake o' supper with a few favored guests. Sup­ per is also provided for the general c-oiT'.pVry, with this difference—that while the Royal party sit down to a for."ial meal, the others refresh them- sel<7s at lhe buffets, for the most part standing up. I1- may interest some readers to learn, bv 'lie way, that strict regulations gov­ ern the dress of both men and women wi-u attend at Court. Men who do not -be’-ong to the Services must appear in fh£-regulation velvet tail-coats and .steel buttons, knee breeches, black silk slock- iiFg«, buckled shoes, and white gloves, av'-th cocked hat under the arm and smell sword at the side. . ’Lt’dies',' loo, must dress to order, in ’ evening - toilette,- with train from three rnd a half to four yards long, while gloves, and with ostrich feathers. For It Is In the Form of a Ticket Good a Five Cent Stamp. A new postage stamp, or rather equivalent of a postage stamp, a reply coupon, as it is officially called, has been designed and will be put into cir­ culation on October 1 next by the Inter­ national Bureau of the Universal Postal Union at Berne. The new postal token is in the form of a ticket, entitling the holder to ex­ change it for a postage stamp of the value of 25 centimes, or the equivalent of that sum in those countries that'have adopted the arrangement concluded last year by the delegates of most of the civilized nations assembled at the Postal Congress in Rome. The arrangement was to the effect that a coupon should be devised to enable a person to write to a correspondent in a foreign land, enclosing the value of a stamp for a reply. Incidentally also, the coupon will enable persons to pay small accounts in foreign lands without going to the trouble of procuring a money order. For instance, a resident, of Canada may write to a correspondent in France and Germany and desire to prepay the stamp required for the answer. All he has to do is to spend six cents for a re­ ply coupon at any Canadian post office and -enclose it in his letter. The French or German addressee will exchange the coupon at his own post office for a French or German stamp which will pre­ pay his reply. It was the British post office that pro­ posed the innovation. The adoption of the coupon scheme was not made com­ pulsory for all the nations comprised in the Universal Postal Union, but the fol­ lowing have signified their acceptance of it: The United States, Great Britain and most of her colonies, including Canada; Japan, Germany and her pro­ tectorates ; France and her colonies, Austria, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Bel-, gium, Spain, Denmark and her posses-T mixed blood. s’ions; Switzerland, Greece, Chile, Bul­ garia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Crete, Hayti, Hungary, Corea, Luxembourg, Rou- mania and Siam. The coupons are supplied to the postal administrations of the above countries at cost price and are interchangeable be­ tween them at the price of 25 centimes or its equivalent. So far 5,000,000 have been printed, of which 3,793,000 have al­ ready been taken up by the various pos­ tal administrations. Upon the interna­ tional bureau at Berne will fall all the administrative work, which bids fair to be of considerable magnitude as every single token must ultimately find its way back again to that central office. -*■ ANEMIA CURED.

To bud into perfect womanhood the growing girl must carefully guard health, and pure, headaches, backaches frequent dizzy spells will trouble She will always be ailing and may slip into a deadly decline. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a never failing remedy in building up the blood. Just a short time ago the reporter of L’Avenir du Nord had the following cases brought to his notice. In the town of St. Je­ rome, Que., there is an orphan asylum under the care of those zealous work­ ers—lhe Grey Nuns. In this home Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are constantly used. For some months two of the young girls in the home were afflicted with anaemia. cases were were ness. taken ment turned to their cheeks; improved; headacncs ceased and soon good health took the place of despon­ dency. What Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have done for these two orphans — Marie Lavoie and Dosina Brooks — they will do for others. The secret of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in curing anaemia, lies in their power to make new, rich, red blood. That is why they strike straight at the root of all common ailments like head­ aches, sideaches and backaches, rheu­ matism, neuralgia, indigestion, anaemia, S. Vitus dance, partial paralysis and the special ailments that afflict, almost every woman and growing girl.

Children, hand in hand, in smiling rows, come down to the boat to meet you as you approach from Monniken- d-nn, or from Volendam, across the bay. They are all dressed alike, in gorgeous variegated skirts and bodices and ap­ rons made of calico, and their heads are al; tied up in patterned cap$ and kerch­ iefs, which let long locks of'golden hair escape upon the shoulders. BOYS AND GIRLS DBESS ALIKE. “Are there no boys in Marken?” you ask the guide when he has finished tel­ ling your party that there are 1,500 souls in Marken and that of them are children. Then you learn that till the age of 7 the dress is just the same fo: both the sexes, except that the boys have a small round patch of col­ or sewed to the crown of their caps. There are many other slight marks of distinction of one kind or another with which you soon become familiar in Marken. Girls wear their hair loose, but when they are married the back of the head is shaven and the front locks are trained into two long curls, one’ v f which hangs down on each side of lhe face. The caps, too, tell their story. Maid­ ens wear short flat ones, while matrons have long narrow ones made out of at least five thicknesses of cloth.' RIDICULOUS MEN. If you are fortunate to see a wedding party on its way to the town hall where the ceremony is to be performed, you can always tell the bride from' her ah tendant- bridesmaid by the greater num­ ber of brass buttons that she wears and by the seven stars, made out of wool of separate colors, which adorn her bo­ dice—two stars more than lhe five which the bridesmaid wears. Truly picturesque to look upon is a Marken wedding party. It is. the men who make the spectacle grotesque and the women who make it charming. For when you place a tall silk hat upon a thick-set, weather-hardened man who lies on wooden shoes, thick home-knit stockings, baggy woolen trousers that reach to the knees, and a tight black coat gay with brass buttons, you'have made a spectacle of him, especially.-if he carries a little Holland tricolor in one hand and manages'with the other a pipe with small bowl and a long carved stem. Imagine a group of men dressed up in thi-s way and ns many women’ wearing short-skirted dresses of all the colors of the rainbow, and you may form some notion of what a Marken wedding parly looks like. “EARLY TO BED,”' ETC.

A few weeks ago the. elopment was planned and carried out. Mlle. Piedallu and her governess went shopping in Paris. The girl gave her chaperon the slip and joined her lover, who was waiting in a cab. So deep was the father’s anger that be swore to leave the neighborhood. The contents of his chateau are to be sold by auction before the place is shut up. The lovers drove to a railway station and travelled to Ostend. There they took cheap rooms, and Dchaulon ob­ tained work at a well-known hotel.
