The willow chair seen in the Illustra tion Invites occupancy, and it holds one up to the dsk with a back that is both flexible and comfortable. Prince Becomes Hotel Keeper. Irince Henry XV. of Pless and his 'wife have evolved a plan by which they can make money and at the same time entertain as lavishly as any other members-of the nobility in Europe. Their entertainment practically will be no extra cost to them and at the same time will yield them a certain amount csf advertising. The princess is con sidered one of the most beautiful wom en in Europe. Prince Henry and his wife have built a hotel on the ances tral estate in Salsbrunn, Prussian Sile sia, which promises to become a rival ot Carlsbad. The prince is one of the richest noblemen in Europe. His wife "was Marie Theresa Olivia, daughter of Colonel W. Cornwallis West and elder Sister of the Duchess of Westminster. .England. They were married in 1S9L The couple mean to live in the new hotel in the fashionable season of the year and to entertain their friends there. They have spent a tremendous amount of money on the project, and their position naturally will attract Jrandreds of wealthy guests. Earrings In Vogue. All women are not wearing earrings, bat there is an ever growing number who are beginning to realize that pinching the lobes of the ear with a needle is not exactly a form of bar Uarism."

The illustration shows some exam ples of earrings in enamel that are modern instances of old time jewelry art. and very effective they are when worn by the right woman. In pass ing, just a hint anent earrings they are not for the round, full faced wo man, who invariably looks her worst in them. Choosing a Good Book. To fall iu love with a good book is one of the greatest events that befall us. It is to have a new influence pour Hag itself into our life, a new leacher to inspire and refine us, a new friend to be by our side always, who, when life grows narrow and weary, will take us into his wider and calmer and higher world. "Whether it be biography, introduc ing us to some humble life made great "by duty done, or history, opening vis tas into the movements and destinies of nations that have passed away, or poetry, making music of all the colli sion things around us and filling the fields and the skies and the work of the city and the cottage with eternal meanings, whether it be these or story books or religious books or science, no one can become the friend even of one Food book without' being made wir And better. Henry Drummond. gte r--"". if JCAi -spjc: tft ' "JrfS88 -' ' Pointe For ft- Mt v -V , Mothers There is more than one reason for letting the children blow soap bubbles. It's good, harmless fun, for one thing, and keeps them out of worse mischief. It can result in nothing worse than a little Boap in the eyes and a little soap suds on the clothes, boh of which are comparatively harmless. But it is more than good fun. It is beneficial to the lungs. There are doc tors who recommend it as an excellent way of exercising the lungs, and hence greatly strengthening to them. Deep breathing exercises are freely recommended, but who could think of anything stupider than pulling in and puffing out great gulps of fresh air. How much more fun to see who can blow the biggest bubble! Bubble blowing is better for children than some of the lung developers that are sold. The soapsuds will rarely hold long enough to do harm to the lungs by overestending them or by too long effort. .To blow very big bubbles try putting a piece of rubber tubing about seven inches long on the narrow end of a funnel. Invert the mouth of the fun nel in the soapsuds as you would the bowl of a pipe, then blow as hard as you can through the tube and note how you expand your lungs as well as mak wonderful soap bubbles. The Fashionable Mother. The mother who gives over her child entirely to the care of an attendant after school hours is typical of the times, for this the up to date parent manages somehow, even on limited means. What is the result? Lax table manners, a curt "yes" or "no" when answering elders, and with relations no manners at all; taking what is wanted without permission from any room, aod raging at correction from any source. Of course the mother re sents any criticism of her method and will endeavor to explain away the tan trums as nervousness. She wants her child when grown up at least to have the manners of her class, but she does not seem to realize that these will probably not be ac quired from hired attendants, nor will years of struggling entirely obliterate the effect of early influence. That ev ery small girl should at least have luncheon with her mother and occa sionally be her companion for driving or calling, seems a not unreasonable demand, but many fashionable moth ers are unwilling to make even this small sacrifice, if that can be called a sacrifice which ought to be the highest privilege.- Chrtstening the New Baby. The time chosen 'for a christening is usually when the child is about six weeks old. though when there is diffi culty in deciding upon a name it is de ferred. The first step in this ceremony is the choice of sponsors. Parents should request only those relatives and near friends who are likely to have the time and disposition to keep their promises they are called upon to make. Two women and one man usually are sponsors for a girl, and two men and one woman for a boy, though one god father and one godmother suffice for a child of either sex. Usually the mother writes to ask the service of the friends or relatives de cided upon to take the vows in behalf of her baby, but there is no reason why the request should not be made verbally. Aside from -the sponsors and near relatives, only a few intimate friends of the husband and wife are asked to be present at the christening, and the wife issues brief notes of invitation to them. Danger From Small Toys. Your children should never be al lowed tiny playthings, for the instinct cf most young children is to put every thing they come across into their mouths. One of the quickest and most effect ive ways of removing anything from the windpipe is to place the first and second fingers down the throat and try to seize the swallowed object and bring it up. Should a fairly small object be swallowed, let the little one eat a hasty pudding or a basin of bread and milk, with more bread than milk, in or der to form a poultice around the object and prevent it from doing harm. Con sult a doctor as speedily as possible. Tel! a Child the Truth. Tell a child always the truth about everything, no matter "how trivial or unimportant it may be, and It will soon come to have perfect confidence in everything you say. A little one de clines to go into a dark room to bring out its doll that was left there because some one has told it of a great bogy iman that lurks in dark apartments ready to spring upon little children. Curses should be trained to tell the truth regarding the most unimportant happenings and affairs. Parents should consider well before putting into words hasty or ill advised speech, for little minds are quick to grasp the meaning, and 'memories are wonderfully retentive. mat x -'v vr FgpQ Cookery iPikf Points' For canning peaches allow to every eight quarts two pounds sugar and three quarts water. Make a sirup, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. As soon as it boils skim carefully. Meanwhile peel the peaches, pack in sterilized glass jars, making sure be fore you begin that your rubbers are new and the tops of the cans perfect. Settle the fruit as you pack by shaking the jar. Fill the hot jars with boil ing sirup. It will require about a pint to each quart jar. Adjust the glass top half way over the jar, but do not put on the rubber. Set the jars in the oven in shallow pans half filled with boiling water. Close the oven door (and the oven should be only moderately warm) and cook the fruit fifteen minutes. Take from the oven. Having adjusted the rubbers, fill each jar in turn with the boiling sirup, which should have been kept hot on the back of the stove. Fill so full that the scalding liquid runs over, then put on the top, wipe and seaL Set the cans on a board or thickly folded paper out of a draft until cooled, when you can probably tighten the top still more. This sirup does not make the fruit sweet. If you prefer to have it sweeter increase the proportions of sugar. Peaches put up thte way in cans look better than when cooked in a kettle, then dipped into the can. When the peaches are large they must be cut in halves, but leave in the pits for flavor. For the Cook. Always put a cauliflower in cold water so as to draw out any insects. If salt is added to the water it kills the insects and they ae left in the vegetables. When baying nutmegs choose small ones in preference to large ones, as they have a nicer flavor. To test the quality prick them with a needle. If they are good the , oil will instantly spread round the puncture. To clean a porcelain ; kettle fill it half full with hot water and put in a taWespoonful of powdered borax; let it boil. If this does not remove all the stains scour with a cloth rubbed with soap and borax. fT( When making puddings arXj beat the yolks" andwhites of eggs separate ly and use the whites as the last in gredient. When tin molds are used for boiling or steaming puddings, re member to grease the covers of the mold as well as the mold itself with butter. In order to get the pudding to come easily from the mold plunge the latter in cold water for a moment. The One Condition. Lady Pertly What did father say when you asked him if you could marry me?

Long ago she prob ably has become convinced that a child cannot readily swallow a pill or a tablet, and that to "break them in half and crush them" is an annoy ance; that usually they work too drasti cally, and are nauseating and too pow erful for 'the little one's stomach.
