with what is really necessary. The mini

Breakfast al many houses is now served

except at dinner, where il is permissible
to be fine or simple, but always decollete.
If Sunday and church are included in the

taken. II IS really easier nowadays to

During her recent visit to Berlin little
Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands
completely captivated the usually stolid
Germans, and she appeared to enjoy her
self greatly. She bowed graciously in
acknowledgements of the hearty Demon
STATIONS that greeted her from all sides.
She was evidently pleased with the bus
mess of being Queen. The little lady
seemed, in fact, to be in a constant
flow of happy emotions that kept her
lips in a permanent and particularly
sweet quicker. The most rabid anti-mon-
archist could not but be filed with good
will for this pretty girlish creature, and
even the snarling social democratic news
papers handled Wilhelmina without
gibe. The entire population of Berlin,
it may be said, went into a state of
wild enthusiasm over the little Queen.
Nobody could stand up against such
vision of young, unspoiled womanhood,
simple and unaffected in her manners,
radiant with happiness. without feeling
his heart warm toward her. One touch
of womanhood, like nature, makes all the
world akin.
There is a certain girl in Chicagr. says

blanche to order all she wants to eat and
drink irrespective OF the cost. This
fair one feels that she has a personal
grievance and therefore has a right to
complain.
young man from out OF town invited
the fair demsel, her sister and their aunt
to dine with him the other day and the
invitation was accepted with some mis-
givings. THE young man doesn't look
especially opulent," confided the girl to a
friend, land 1 never heard that he was
rich, so all three of us, with feminine
precipitation, instantly jumped to the
conclusion that he had TO struggle to keep
the wolf from the door and ordered ac-
cordlngly. 1 was fearfully hungry, but
took all the reasonable things on the
menu, the scrappy things 1 really did not
care much about, and put away from me
the more expensive viands as out of the

Louise and Aunt Ehie did the same

in his rage at what he called our bird

for that meal he pulled a roll of bank
notes from his pocket as big as his wrist

| Maybe l haven't regretted my vast
