No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The Royal"
is shown by all tests, official, scientific, and prac-
tical, stronger, purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac.
turers, and we'll known by all dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place Of the Royal" it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the "Royal." To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to the consumer
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Royal" There is no substitute for the Royal"

in wagon; but she begins her day by
taking exercise, and after breakfast she
plays tennis or croquet or visits
or reads or writes letters, as the
case may be. After luncheon there
is another walk or ride and then an
hour or so of painting or writing. Just
at present both Mr.. and Mrs. Navarro
are busily engaged in furnishing a new
home at Tunbridge Wells. They have
taken lease of place for seven years
and are ransaking all England for;an-
tique furniture and pretty fiXings.
After an early dinner there is gather
ing in the little drawing room, and per-
haps some game is played for an hour
or so. By 10 o'clock the house is in
darkness, and the next day the
happy couple begin again to ride
and walk or visit and receive friends.
Occasionally they go to London to
see some new production at the
theatres, for Mrs. Navarro has not lost
Der interest in the stage to the extent
that she cannot enjoy good play.
Sometimes she comes down to London
for dinner, but not often. If she ac-
cepted all the invitations she receives
she would dine six nights week from
her own home. Her life just now is
one long restful holiday. She is enjoy
ing every moment of it as we'll she
may. Her health is perfect. She is
happy in her husbands love and her
bank account is ample. She need give
no thought for the morrow. All is
peace and pleasure.

Special Letter to the Globe.
NEW YORK, July 9.-It has been oft
times asserted that woman can never
understand or enjoy the gentle art, so
dear to Izaak Walton; but, like many
another proposition advanced by the
other sex, this is a question open to
argument. All womankind is not so
welded to continual gossip and aimlesS
chatter as the newspaper paragraph
would have US believe; nor are they all
unhappy unless herding together
ike a flock of rocks or sparrows.
For happily, there is to be found
here and there. self-cOntained
creature of the gentle sex who de-
lights in her own society, and loves ma
ture and an outdoor existence. And
how can she better enjoy these than
upon rivers bank with rod or pole in
hand, and none but the sylvan sights
and sounds to disturb her self commun-
ings? The pen and ink creations of the
novelist Black have served as an eX
ample for many a real flesh and blood
maiden, and his descriptions of salmon
and other fishing have awakened hith-
ertO dormant piScatOry ambitions. So
on English lakes and rivers, the little
skiff with solitary occupant is quite
common sight all through the long, lazy
summer DAYS when ''to loaf and invite
ones SOUP seems a most seasonable
occupation.
