The Queen's Taste in
Sunshades.
It is hard to surmise what wee in
the queen's mind. Did she disdain to
change her orders, or did -she intend
to set a' sensible example, as she often
113, liked to do? The story as Mr. William
Le Quenx tells it in Things I Know is
ght, of Queen Victoria's last visit to Nice.
About a fortnight after the queen's
arrival, writes Mr, Le Quenx, while
passing up he Avenue de la. Gare I
met a well-known detective, Superin-
tendent Fraser, of Scotland Yard, who
with Monsieur Paoli, of the Paris
Surete,' was her majesty's personal
protector. When I asked him whither
he was hurrying he replied:
"Cone with me, I am going on a—
well, a very confidential mission!"
At_ once I turned back with him.
To my surprise he stopped before a
cheap draper's shop and, pointing to
a long string of ' black and -white
striped sunshades open and swaying
in the wind, inquired their price:'
"Five francs, fifty, replied the dark -
eyed Provencal.girl in.,French-
My, friend hesitated. and inquired
{whether they: were of silk.
: ; "No, m'sieur, they are cotton,"
the, reply. was
With that he turned away, .Then he
explained that the queen, who.- had
been out for her afternoon drive, had
just returned and, calling him, had
told hind that n the Avenue de la Gare
I•she heti been attracted by sonte_•sun-
1 shades. hanging outside a shop. "Go
and buy me one, Fraser," she had
conlnxauded, "They are the very
thing I want here."
I"But," exclaimed my friend to me,.
"how can 1 take the queen a four -and -
seven -penny sunshade?: Come back
with me, and when I •have told her we I
will go out to the cafe!"
I 'walked back. with him to Cimiez
and waited while he passed along the;
corridor of the great hotel to her ma- I
jesty's apartments,
• His face had changed when he re- I
turned 'a few minutes later. "I told
the queen," he said, "but she has onOa

My breast is a toneless room -

The catkins and the broom.=
Oh, what are these songs of
mine,
What can my songs be worth?

Chinese Hair -Net
,Industry.
The hair -net business in China has
had 'quite a history, . It was establish-
ed originally by Germans,. who im-
ported the nets from Chefoo ito Ger-
many and then exported . them to the
United States as European -made hair
nets. There is still considerable ex
port of human -hair nets from China
to European countries.
When direct' trade in human -hair
nets was taken up with China, large
quantities of imperfect; under -sized;
and generally poor nets were exported.
This finally resulted in the establish-
nient in Chefoo and Tsinan, by the i
foreign and a few larger Chinese ex-'
porters, of hair -net inspection fac- I
tortes, some employing as'many as
1,000 operatives, where hair -net car-
goes are inspected and, if necessary,
the nets repaired before being shipped.]
The net -making itself is, a home or.;
"cottage" industry; the hair is dis-'
tributed around ie the various v11-'
