An American queen of Ireland,

Writing of Mary Cation Patterson in
The Ladies' Home Journal William Per
rine recalls that 'the Americans read
with wondering eyes the stories which
came from Ireland of the regal magnifi-
cence with which one of their country
women was dazzling the British people;
how she had become the wife of the
brother of the Duke of Wellington and
how the court Of the newly welded pair
at Dublin castle rivalcd the brilliancy of
royalty itself, She was called The Amer
lean Queen of the Irish Court. and in no
capital Of Europe would her natterers al
low that there was woman who sur
passed her in the elegance of her bearing
end in the accomplishments OF a sover-
eisn. Indeed she was only one of Il
group of sisters whom Europeans hailed
as The American Graccs. Their moth
err, a daughter Of Charles Carroll. had
married Richard Cation, n poor English
gentleman of handsome face and pres
ence who settled in Baltimore
Mary, the most famous of the three
daughters, married Robert Patterson,
brother Of Betsy Patterson. the first wife
of jerome Bonaparte. After the death
of her husband. in 1922, the Baltimore
belle revisited Europe. Hardly less emil
nent than the Duke of Wellington be-
fore the battle of Waterloo had been his
brother, the Marquis of Wellesley. In
the spring Of 1925 it was announced in
Ireland that he was engaged to her, and
it was noted in the United States as a
curious coincidence that while one Amer
lean girl had married the brother of Ma
polcon another, and She her sister-in-law.

Music In Her Tones.

Women at the present time seem fully
persuaded of the truth of the younger
Pliny's saving, The living voice is that
which sways the soul" for in nearly ev-
cry public placc-train. restaurant or
what not-they are conspicuous by their
much speaking. The pity is that in their
attempts to sway the souls" of their
hearers they forget that the swaying may
be in two WayS-it may attract or it may
revolt. or course every woman wishes
that her voice may attract, and she
should take every possible care that it
should do so. She can recall perhaps
some one to whom people listened willing
ly and Of whom they said that she had il
pleasant voice, says the Chicago News.

with a sweet and harmonious voice, has
an immense power for good in the world.
Words of consolation and counsel from
her lips have greater influence than she
dreams possible. The fact is that peo-
pie are impcllcd by the music of her tones
to listen TO what she says and are charm
ed and influenced as they never would be
by the uttclancc of any one who spok
wisely and kindly, but less plcasingv
Sometimes beautiful and attractive wo-
men cease to charm when they begin to
speak. This was the case il is said, with
the Empress Eugene. Many people v
enraptured with her beauty till they
heard her speak, and then her harsh
Spanish voice utterly destroyed the fa,e;
nation. English women are seldom bless
ed with musical voices. The damp and
variable climate is responsible for colds
and bronchial affections that more or less
injure the vocal organs. Yet any woman
can in spite of natural defects so school
herself that she may acquire pleasant
way of speaking.
The living voice it is which swaps the
soul, and the home is happy one which
has at its head woman who speaks in
sweet, calm and well regulated tones.
Such possession carries her far on the
road TO social success, while the lack Of
1t is likely to make people consider her
terrible person."

Cover For Bag.

If you have a plain rubber hot water
bag, and this seems to be the kind most
common, you will do well to have GRO
cheted cover at hand to slip over it in
case the rubber is disagreeable and un.
pleasant to the touch.
Use rather fine, soft cotton and shape
it to the bag The upper edge is finished
with tiny scallop, just below which is
run small cord with which to draw the
bag up. You will see at a glance tta' the
top must be as wide as the middle in or

component parts are broken walnut meats
and celery cut into dice, these arranged

that the oysters should be very cold and
