The queens daughters, in addition to be-
cooks When they were children they had
a little kitchen of their own at Osborne,
where they concocted all kinds of dishes,
sweets being naturally the favorites. Here
they converted into jam the fruit out of
their own gardens, and turned out many a
savory dish for the delectation of their

which the college girls earn and save
money. says the Chicago Chronicle, is by
clubbing together. renting house or fiat

There was never visible audible creak
in the domestic machinery, and in fact
the household was ordered with the least
possible machinery conducive to comfort
and health. The floors of the sleeping
rooms Were stained and only partly COW

tains were creton of tasteful pattern the
bed coverings thick, warm blankets Be
low there was equal plainness and equal
comfort. Whatever friction there NAV
have been in the management of that
household never rose to the dignity of a
recognition. Friends came to lunch or din

family life. The house stood for some
