The Queen of Denmark, who died re-
Gently and was called the 'sMother-in-laW
of Europe" had a quality about her
which the restless, ambitious woman OF
today might well look into, says Anna
Rittenhouse. in the Philadelphia Press
This was the q~uality-that she was a.
fireside ruler. She did not race around
the globe. do sensational things. or awe
her name always in the public mouth;
she remained at home, a simple gentle
woman, and persuaded the world to come
to her.
Because she was queen she never for
got she was a woman. Simply dressed,
natural in talk and department., she was
the rock to lean on in very troublesome
times.
King George Of Greece went to her
often and sat at the Danish freside ana
learned many lessons in Christianity and
diplomacy from this gentle lady, for
while she had the harmlessness of the
dove, it has always been accredited to
her that she had the wisdom of the SER
pent.
Alexander II, Car of all the Russias,
had a long letter from her once a week
and when affairs were complicated ne
would go over to his mother-in-law and
learn from that quiet fireside many a les
son worth his while.
The Princess of Wales-that naughty,
lovely w-oman-went once every year to
her mother and talked to her as she did
when a child.
This is the great. the true essence of
~womanhood.
If the woman ambitious of power could
only realize that if she makes her hearth
stone attractive her power will be greater
there than in all the bathrooms of the
world.
In a minor way think of the women who
are danced with the most and who are
seen everywhere at all the affairs or
prominence; they are not the women who
are always the most powerful. the ones
who marry the men of power and in
fuence.
A woman once gave this advice TO a
girl coming into society: Always let per-
sons find you at home as much as pos
sible, and develop all your power into
the art of being hostess, even if you only
have one guest at a time"
Being a brilliant hostess doesn't mean
only to be able to handle great numbers
with skill and ease, but its deeper mean
ing is that each guest should find your
fireside a desirable place-one of comfort
and confidence.
Women and girls who have this art are
the ones to whom come the people of
power; they want rest; they want a safe
woman to talk to, and that woman is
often the power behind the throne. She
knows more of the greater affairs of

The Queen of Denmark was a gifted,
accomplished woman. who read deeply,
and stayed at home enough to think. She
did not waste her vitality running from
pillar to post, but when the head that
wore a crown was uneasy there was no
place like the fireside of Denmark.
The uneasy, restless woman negleetful
of her greatest sphere-the home life
may be brilliant and make many friends,
but men and women do not love and con-
fide in her and she does not form as deep
associations as the woman who makes
her own h~earthstone the pivotal point Of
her life.
This is sometimes the reason a girl who
has never been known much in public
social life marries a man whom other
women admired and wanted.

There is a new parlor game for young
people. 1t is called "All Soles."
A very large sheet of manila paper
is hung upon the wall. SO that a lead PEN
ell can be used upon it.
When the party has assembled a young
lady Is led bliEdfolded to the paper.
Her eyes are then unblirded and she is
given a lead pencil and ordered to draw
upon the paper the foot of a certain
member of the party. She draws only
the soles. The selection is determined by
lot, while the young woman is being led
blinded to the sheet, SO that there is
no chance for her to take an eye meas
urement of her subject.
After the sole is drawn the name of the
victim Is written above it. Then another
young woman is led up to the paper.
When all the young ladies have tried
their artistic skill at an accurate repro
duction Of masculine soles, the young
men rave a trial. AS the name of a
young lady is. called out, the masculine
unfortunate draws the sole. They must,
however, do the drawing with their eyes
bandaged. The one who comes nearest
the correct size of the sole gets a prize.
The test is made by measuring a piece
of paper the exact size Of the real sole,
with the one just drawn.
AT a church sociable. where all had to
reproduce the pastors shoe, one young
lady drew a sole which would have be-
longed to a No. % shoes while the small
est was No. IA. When the pastor kindly
took off his shoe to have 1t compared with
the drawings, the abashed artists with
drew, filled with modification.
In a parIor, to make the drawings more
conspicuous, the markings should be done
with a red pencil upon light brown paper,
or with chalk upon a dark sheet. The
prize for the most successful drawing is
a pair of slippers. They are unmounted
and warranted large enough to fit the
most gifted pedal e~xtre1nities.
The great benefits of the foot bath are
universally recognized, not only for re-
lieying weariness Of the feet and limbs
but as a general sedative and invigorant- |
these apparently opposite qualities being
