The Smart Set.
One Of the great sources Of the Queens
power. asys Harper's Bazaar. was the ex-
IRENE attention she gave 20 detail. This
extended 10 everything which came under
her personal notice. The story Of her
writing her name in the dust on the piece
. Of furniture. while making a tour OF
Windsor Castle. and underneath IL also
the name OF the houseuaid VINO was re-
sponsibie for the neglect, I have never
heard confirmed. but many little stories
attest her fsr-seeing supervision in every
thing. She never considered the smallest
courtesy beneath her dignity Madame
N. lsdy-in-waiting to the Duchess of
COnnaugnt. is responsible for this little
anecdote illustrating this At the time Of
the christening OF little Prince Edward.
the eldest son Of the Duke of York
through some mistake Madame Ms
Invitation was forgotten. she old not 20
to the ceremony. but seeing the Queen
soon after, her Majesty asked why she
had not been present, inquired into all the
particulars and made many excuses. Just
then the Duchess came up. ITS such a
pity about Madame AS invitation"
said her Majesty. but there's no need for
you TO sey anything I've apologtzed."
An interesting fact says the New York
Times, in the way of woman's work
which makes impression upon women who
have to deal with girls starting out 20
earn their own living is that fairly good
education that OF the grammar school
for instance, units them for the work
they are best able to undertake. 1t is
the false sentiment with regard to manual
employment. One woman who is IN
charge of an employment bureau under
the direction of charitable women where
girls are placed at different employments
outside the domestic service says that 1t
is seldom a girl who has had a grammar
school education will take anything but
an Office position.
What can you do in an Officer" asked
the woman, who rs blessed with good COM
mon sense and has had much experience.
Why. l can write" answers the girl
rather tamely.
sit down and write something for me-"
says the woman with common sense.
This the girl does and produces, as a
rule, letter which, II not poorly written,
is badly spelled and badly expressed.
There is no call In an Office for girls
Of her class. and she feels that she IL
above any other kind of work. These
are the most ignorant classes of girls, but
II elbows that the stand taken in many
ways for the uplifting and perfecting of
manual labor and the recognition of good
hand work as an art is going to do much
good after a time.
Recently says the New York Mail and
Express, an agent for a well-known -four
firm offered six prizes to the women of
Manayunk, Pa, for the best six loaves
Of bread baked out of his firm flour.
There were hundred and sixty-nine wo-
men entered i'm the contest, and the judg-
es who, as a precautionary measure
were imported from Philadelphia, spent
three hours in examining the exhibit, ev-
cry loaf being numbered and critically in
spected.
In front of the Office where the COMPETE
ton was held over a hundred of the com.
petitors assembled to wait for the verdict
and when the names of the successful
bakers were announced, Ahose who had
lost made such an angry hubbub that the
judges escaped through the back door
and took the first trolley car back to the
peaceful precincts of the Quaker City. AS
they departed, these are some of the
phrases which they overheard
Let me get my hands on them" ex-
claimed one buxom-looking damsel.
What does men know about bread bak-
ing?" yelled another. "They cannot tell
home made from bakers dried up fiaky
stuff. I'll out-bake any woman in the
ward and leave my husband to judge"
Whats your husband know about
bread?" chimed in another Lets have
another contest and have women for
judges. Then wen get fair chance"
Little Willie was precocious. This fact,
says the New York Mail and Express, had
for a long time been recognized and duly
commented upon by the feminine members
of the family. 1t was not until the other
day, however that his father and unces
were made to fully realize what a bright
child he was. Now they proudly predict
that he will make his way in the world.
Here is the incident that led to their con-
viction
AS earnest for long season of good be-
havior one of the youthful prodigy's in
Vulnerable "aunties" promised to take him
to the theater.
There is no harm in that" she reas-
sured the doubtful mother HE will be
so interested, and l just long to hear the
cute remarks he will make"
So off he started, duly chaperoned, one
fine afternoon. As a special favor he was
allowed to carry the opera glasses. as 70
the utility of which he asked innumerable
questions. The kind aunt directed her
steps to certain theater. where a catchy
light opera. full of vivacious songs and
dances, was having a long run. She had
been wanting TO see that piece for ever
long. Now was her opportunity. The
house was crowded and only two seats in
the second row of the orchestry were OBJ
tainable.
