She has not fallen a victim to the modern styles of hair dress. ing, but wears her hair in a coil at the nape on the neck.
Invariably she dresses in a quiet, tasteful manner, and though she is to marry an ex- ruler of an Indian State, she has a charming and homely manner, which suggests the refined atrnos- phere of an American household rather than that of a candidate for the affections of the head of a palace in India.
Passport Trouble.
At meals on board the steamer, Miss Miller dined at a table occupied mostly by Indians, and what conversation she carried on was practically solely with the Indians.
