Gaby Deslyn, tho llght-hnlrod, Talr
flklnned, demure llttlo French beauty
whom ho lifted lo dizzy holghtfl of
fame nnd fortune by IiIb patronago
when he iat upon tho tlirouo of
Portugal, will havo nothing more to
do with him.
Gaby Ih drawing a salary four times as large
as that Bho received before Manunl'B Infatuation
for her was public property. Two years ago uho
told mo she was saving her money and when
the right man camo uloug she would marry him
If' ho didn't have a cent. Tho right mun has
turned up. He Is Hnrry Pllcer, Gaby's Amer
ican dancing partner. She has dented It several
times, but, dosplto all her laughing protestations',
Just about a yenr from the present date tho two
will be married and will rotiro to a small estate
In France where Gaby declares Bhe will be con
tent the rest of her life to raise chickens.
Hut this Btory Is not concerned, primarily, with
Gaby Dc-slys. It Is written to tell you about tho
latest troubles of a monarch In exile. Besides
his broken heart Manuel has a broken ambition.
At last ho has lost nil faith in tho ultlmato suc
cess of the valiant band of royalists who are
plotting, planning and fighting on the frontier
of Portugal. Ho has been forced to tho conclu
sion that his btay in England will bo n perma
nent ono, barring a social revolution In tho coun
try over which ho once ruled. Ho Is making
preparations to forsake tho temporary abode In
Itlchmond In which he took up lilu residence
penning ms return in triumph to Lisbon
take up permanent quarters in the
most aristocratic fiats In the whole
world Kensington Palace
Mnnuel'u pessimism Is duo to tho
report or his uncle, tho Duko of
Oporto, who, since tho royal fam
ily hot-footed It out of Lisbon, has
been running between England
nnd the Spanish-Portuguese fron
tier carrying iiowb and Instructions
between the (boy King nnd thoso
who are battling for his cause
against the overwhelming odds of
tho Portuguese republican govern
ment'. The duke, who Is a well
meaning but ineffective sort ot
man, recently brought back from
Spain proofs that Manuel's cham
pions are Indeed In a bad wny In
fact, Just about In tholr lnsi m.n
Manuel has given tho Inst penny
that ho enn spare, Queen Atnolla

flees, while other sources of revenue havo boon
sucked dry. The royalist soldiers, without pay,
without food, without clothing, nnd practical out
laws with prices on their necks, look forward
with concern to tho coming of winter.
It Is In theso circumstances that King George
has como forward with tin offor of n suite ot
rooms In Kensington Palace for Manuel and his
'mother. The rclntlons botwoen tho English king
nnd Manual are very close, and Gcorgo knows,
almost to tho dollar, tho dwindling resources ot
tho cxtlo. In Kensington Palaco. although Man
iiel and his mother probably will not enjoy tho
luxurious surroundings thnt they havo had nt
Itlchmond, they will havo as neighbors In adjoin
ing flatB two membors of the English royal fam
ily. Tho npartmonts In Kensington Pnlaco are
.nt tho disposal ot tho crown, and In two ot them
King Edward installed his slBtora, PrinccsB Henry
of Ilnttonberg and tho Duchess of Argyll.
Kensington Palace, In former yearB, was allow
ed to fall Into neglect jand tho sanitary conditions
were not of tho best. Then many ot the rooms
wore thrown open to the public, notably thoso
associated with tho early years of Qucon Vic--torla,
nnd, In consideration of this concession, tho
otato bore tho expenses ot tho upkeep ot tho
liulldlngs. With the coming of tho two daughters
ot Queen Victoria, radical Improvements wero
inadc In tho furnishings, but evon today It would
tje hard work to rent tho several flats to any
American accustomed to tho comparative luxury
of u JlOQa-month flnt In Now York.
With the flight of his hopes young Manuel will
ontor more fully than over Into tho social life
of England. There Is still hope among IiIb older
relatives of marrying him to ono ot tho EngllBh
prlncosses. Tho first cholco Is PrlncosB Alexan
dra ot Fife, daughter and heir ot tho lato Duko
of Fife. Huch a match would bo more nttrnctlvo
to Manuel now than it was four years ago wjien
It was .first mooted, becaiiBo tho young Fifo prin
ccsb has ulnce Inherited tho fat rortuno of her
father and would bring n wolcomo relief to tho
private pockotbook ot tho Portuucso monarch.
You will remember, probably, that Manuel camo
lo England some three yearB ago looking for n
wlfo. Ho spont some llttlo tlmo In tho company
of Patricia of Connaught nnd tho Fife sisters.
HubBoquently he confided to Gaby Deslys his Im
pressions of tho threo English princesses. Dolled
.down they amounted to this: Ho was willing to
consider Princess Patricia, hut ho undorBtood
that uho did not vlow tho match with favor,
whereas tho" Flfo girls wero flat nnd uninteresting
nnd ho would not consider them for a Blnglo
momout,
Of Queen Amolla It can bo said that Bho Is
endeavoring to find consolation for all her trou
bles and disappointments in good works. In this
dho h following the example of tho Duchess of
Marlborough, and It waB tho Amorlcnn-born duch
bb who gavo her tho tip. Not long after tho
Pcrfji"iioso uueon had exchanged tho Necossl-
SttWSYWG7'&Ar J24SAGZ-'
dades Palace of Lisbon for a comparatively mod
cat dwelling at Itichmond, she and the duchess
mot. Dotween tho two women, each well ac
quainted with tho other's misfortunes, a mutual
liking sprang up.
During their confab tho duclieBs told her royal
listener that trying to shoulder other people'fl
troublos had enabled her to baulsli her own from
her mind. Queen Amelia was rather struck with
tills Idea nnd was not long in putting it Into prac
tice. Apparently, tho duchess' scheme haB made
good. At any rate, tho queen haa given it a good
trial, for hardly a week has passed that she has
not visited n hospital, opened a bazur or some
thing of the sort. Quito recently bIio went to tho
Crystal Palace and, on behalf ot the If. S. P. C. A
prcsonted tho prizes won by children for essays
written cm kindness to animals. She is a regular
visitor at tho Itlchmond hospital and tho Roman
Catholic hospital ot Saint Elizabeth and Saint
John In Saint John's Wood. During ono ot hor
visits Bhe was taken to seo tho baby of Uio lios
pltal, a pretty little girl six years old and a great
pot with evorybody. Tho queen kissed tho child,
and after talking to her tor a llttlo while, dis
covered thnt something was worrying hor. So
Bho asked the reaspn and found thnt a bunch ot
lilies that had boon ordered from tho florist for
tho baby to present to her had not arrived.
"Poor llttlo mite," said tho queen, "that's too
bad. Never mUul, if you will send them to mo
at Itlchmond, I will promise to wear them at din
ner tonight."
LOUIS HYDE.
ON THE WAY TO LHASA
Just ten years ago n woman clothed In rags
dirty, tanned, almost black by exposure and at
dentil's door with fatigue staggered to tho court
yard ot tho China inland Mission houso nt Ta
chlenlu, wrlteB Ituth Ncoly In tho Living Church.
When strength enough for speech returned Bhe
told hfr story It wan Dr SubIo Carsons Hljn
hart, tho Hrat woman missionary who ovor pene
trated tho wilds of Tlbot and returned to tell tho
story.
All tho world knows tho wonderful history of
tho woman's homoward Journey of l.GOO miles,
unprotected and alone, from tho lntorlor, near
tho outskirts of Lhasa, whero sho burled htft
baby beneath a stone on the mountain aide nnd
where hor husband wan later captured by hostllo
natives and mtirdorcd.
SInco thnt tlmo only ono group of foroIgnor
hnB penotrntod Interior Tibet. ThtB was tho
band of Englishman who reached and lnvndod
tho Bacrod city under, tho command of Colonol
Younghusband. Slnco the unsuccessful ending
of that expedition Lhasa and lntorlor Tibet havo
again boon closod to the outside world, a won
derful region whoso mys Uta ;avo been gunrded
as tho holy of holies and ob the impcnotrabW
Banctuary of the mysterious east.
Dut it is not to remain so. When, hi 1001, Di
HIJnhnrt returned to her chosen field, northwest
orn China, she tool: with hor two missionaries
of tho Foreign Missionary society. Dr. and Mra
A. L. Sholton. With them she established aty
othor mission in Tachlenlu. ot which Dr Sheltoj
and his wjfo took charge on tho dcat'i ot tin
famous woman missionary a year ago.
Later it was given over to other hands, foi
Dr. Sheltonand his wife resolved to em i lato th
example of tho Kljnharts, and if It bo in human
power they intend to penetrate interior Tibet and
to establish a Christian mission in Lhasa, the
very shrine of Uuddha, whero no foreigner has
ever been permitted peacefully to enter and
where none has over dwelt.
With their baby girls, Doris, three yours old
and "Dorothy, seven, the two missionaries cot out
from Tachlenlu Inst fall on their arduous and
dangerous Journey. They havo now nrrh d nl
Hntang, nbout a month's Journey frpm Luasn
whence they havo sent to this country the most
remarkablo collection of Tibetan photographs
ever secured. Tho mission station Is near the
lamasary at Uatang, which Iioubcb u.OOO umas ot
BuddliUt priests, and is ono of tho i, e great
monasteries of Tibet.
Tho western theosophist's cherished Ideal ol
this life, pure spirit and lofty contemplation, I:
hardly borne out by the description of tho Bud
dhist lamaa, as seen in every-day lif, by the
Sheltons. To begin with, like all Tibetans, they
are Inordinately dirty. Tho native of Tibet never
bathes, nor Is tho lama an exception to this rule
They are coverod with dirt and grease and
an odor of rancid butter from the fumes
of tho butter lamps' that fill the
temples.
They are also Infested with vermin
which they may not oven destroy, be
cause to kill even tho humblest ol
animals is contrary to the teachings
ot tho Buddhist religion. The wonder
till learning of tho Buddhist lama is
also said to bo largely a ' product ol
western Imagination. Tho wnrshir
consists largely In noisy incantations
in the proces of which guns are
sometimes fired, bells ring and horns
give forth deafening blasts.
Tho Tibetan woman may not be
without beauty. It Is Impossible tc
tell, slnco sho does not wash. Men
and women dress much al-ike, In
gowns of originally bright ( colored
cloth, fastened about the waist by
green and red sashes. Tho bloused
waist portion, is always used as the
receptacle for tho tea basin, whence it Is handily
drawn forth at the constantly recurring hospital
ity of tea drinking.
Women and men wear heavy top boots. They
may bo distinguished by tho head dress. Both
sexes brnld the hair into innumerable plaits
sometimes over 100. In some sections tho plaits
are fastened together with bright colored cloth
or with a heavy folt band covered with silver
ornaments, shells and- beads. A turban with a
whlto fur brim and a red tassel hanging from
tho pointed crown Is often worn.
Women In tho district of Lhasa wear for hair
ornaments a silver halo set with turquoise a
most becoming houd dress, other things being
equal. The Tibetan damsel uses. hor braids in
coquettish fashion, much as does our debutante
her fan. U Bho Is or wlshea to appear confused
she shakes tho curtain ot buttered locks over
hor face, formlnir a screen, throuch which shp
peqrs with artful artlessness. In some regions
near remote lamaseries tho women are Baid to
daub their faces with a greasy black cosmetic
lest the lamas might ho tempted by their beauty,
a precaution which can hardly fall to impress the
traveler as rather unnecessary.
Except ttho great caravan route, wlilch Is so
thickly besot with spies that to travel It without
meeting a military corapnny sent out to turn
tho travelers back Is impossible, the "roads" ta
Lhasa aro narrow mountain passes, in some
places only to bo traversed by climbing single
file or mounted on sure-footed yaks. It la through
such narrpw, precipitous passes that Dr. Shelton,
his wifo and little ones havo so far made tholr
way. If as thoy near Lhasa they should take the
path traveled by Dr. mjnhart and her husbnnd
nnd child thoy will pass a big boulder beneath
which Ho tho remains of a year-old baby, tho
first whlto child over In Tibet.
Doris and Dorothy Sholton, who have so far
endured tho Journoy very well, aro tho most re
markable pilgrims in tho world. Thoy nro tho
youngest, and, if their parents accomplish the
purppsn to wlilch they havo consecrated their
lives, Doris and Dorothy will ono day romp and
rollick it) tho somber shadows of Lhasa, tho
holiest city ot nil Asia, whero the Dalai lama
lives In his wonderful palace, a building whoso
immensity and ornamentation bafllo description,
whore many of tho Iiousob aro literally roofed
with gold, and whero the dead aro dismembered,
then loft exposed on stone slabs to bo devoured
by vulturoa or by the hogs that rummago In the
sacred streets.
