Couldn't Understand

1895

Little Dot — What does this mean? "Love laughs at locksmiths."
Mamma — You can't understand until you are older.

William's Uniforms

Emperor William's uniforms are not all made by the same tailor, nor are they all made in Berlin, but by court tailors in various parts of the empire, all of whom possess his measures. The average price of a military coat is given as $45.


Albany

Albany is named from the second title of the Duke of York, afterward James II. The title is Scottish, from the Celtic word Albyn, a native name for Scotland.
