" WISH, Mary, that you would
tell young Ingalls, to make his
visits less frequent" said Mrs.
Carlen to her daughter as they sat
in the parlor of their Washington
residence one afternoon.
"Why, mother, what is the matter
with Charlie? You surely can find no
fault with the visits of an old friend of
ours like he is"
"As long as they are only friendly
visits it does not matter, but last night
he stayed till everyone else was gone.
Count Villeroy even spoke of it to me
and asked if he were a relative"
Count Villeroy, indeed! What is it
his business?'
''The count is a sutton for your hand,
Mary, and he is likely to be offended
by the lover-like attentions paid you
by Mr.. Ingalls,"
''The count may be sutton, as you
say, but he is wasting his time. l
shall tell him so the first opportunity"

of social standing nor privilege at
tending a long pedigree.
A certain great lady said: in
court the word is 'hush,' and there
is an awe-inspring stiffness in the
thrOnerOom when a drawing-room is
being held. Everyone is rigid with
dignity, and etiquette is carried out
to the finest degree. No laughter, no
conversation, nothing but the rustic
of sTfl1en robes, and the voice of the
lord chamberlain as he announces in
grand stage tones the name of the
lady moving toward the throne. No
one is ever presented at court with
out thorough training for the event.
To make a mistake is serious mat
ter, and usually the name Of blum
derer in the royal presence is erased
from the books. Every step, every
motion, is practiced by the debutante
over and over again before the great
day.
1.-The slow, gliding step, the pro-
found courtesy before their majes-
ties, and the deft management of the
mass of court trains are things of Sc
rious moment"
Those folly-stricken American
women who feel that life IS nothing
but hollow mockery unless they can
be presented" at an English court,
will doubtless go into deep mourning,
says the Boston Transcript, when
they hear that Queen Alexandra is
drawing even more exclusive lines
about her royal person than were the
rule with her predecessor. Hitherto
it has never been very difficult for an
American woman to be received" at
court. The chief requisite was a
PULL" and pulls are the chief stock
in trade of the vast majority of the
American society women residing in
or visiting London. But the value of
the pull appears to be threatened
by the new queen, for it is said that
henceforth people are to be present
ed'' only by special invitation, not
merely to the lady who does the ''pre-
senting," but to the debutante as
we'll In consequence the drawing
rooms will be the exclusive of the
exclusive, and presentations there
fore will be in greater demand than
ever.

THE CURE OF THE FIELDS.

went adown the great green fields,
Weary and spent with care;
MY heart was sad. and my spirit had
A burden sore to bear.
But they led me to pray in their own grand
way,
And 1 left my trouble there.
Great and green and calm were they,
And they bade me be at rest;
For God was above, and His wondrous love
In them was manifest;
And to me there came, at a tired child's
claim,
A benediction blest
Faith said the grasses soft and low.
Oh, but the sound was dear
Hope" said the light of the sunshine
bright.
How could I choose but hear?
Love, said each voice, land so rejoice.
Child of the earth, nor fear
L went my way from the great green fields,
And left my sorrow there;
For they had taught my puzzled thought
The spirit of their prayer,
And joyed to know that I could not go
Beyond our Fathers care.

Womenas they grow older are trou-

or at least decreased, by exercise with

of times, the motion from side to side
can be used, and also the rotation Of
the head. These muscles are seldom
put into action by women, so thatthey
become fiaccid and the fat is deposited
in them. \ small amount of exercise

STRANGE FOOD OF AMERICANS
An English Woman Tells Her COun-
tryvvOmen About What She
Ate While Here.

An English woman who visited Amer
lea a short time ago has been telling
her countrywomen about the strange
food across the water" Of course she
discovered green corn, but she had
been quite prepared for that. Oyster
crabs were quite new to her.
''They look like Boston baked beans"
she explains, ''but they taste much bet
ter
An oyster cocktail filled her with awe
and enthusiasm. She tried it at Del
monico's and thought it was soup. Of
course, in England, one didn't serve
soup in a glass, but then neither did
the English serve boiled eggs in a glass.
One could never be sure of Americans.
OF canvas back duck she has a poor
opinion, but thinks she might like it
better if Americans would have it
cooked, or even warmed. As for terra
pin, she sings its praise. She found it
much like calf's head, and she always
liked calf's head. Shades of Mary
land gourmets, what a slur is there.
'All the buildings in America are
pie or ice cream she says, but it must
be understood that pie does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie is atari and
is ubiquitous, she explains.
She sat next to an American man
who ate a lump of cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned plateful
of ice cream over both, but she doesn't
know that that is a general custom.
The oysters were good, but had most
impossible names, and the cookies,
meaning CLAIMS, are excellent. On the
whole Yankee food and cooking are
good, but there is too much food on
the table at one time.

is passed through to the back, ard
brought up again, not quite close, but
at a sufficient distance to allow an in
termediate stitch being taken back
ward; thus the threads would be la Id
alternately - first, third, second
fourth and so on. This gives better
hold on the material than if they were
laid consecutively.
When the whole space is covered in
this way, lay other single threads
across at regular intervals and sew
them down with stitches at even dis
tances. This work requires to be regu-
lar and even, both in laying the threads
and also in the cross threads and the
stitches that hold them down. It may
be shaded by using various colors for
the under layers of threads, and work
ing them in after the manner of ordi-
nary shading in stitches of various
lengths, but let them be as long as pos
sible, or it will look rough.
An embroidered portiere should not
hang too full or you break the con-
tinuity of the design. For an ordinary
doorway the usual double width mate
rial will be found sufficient, and in
making up care should be taken that
it is heavy enough to hang well. AS it
is to exclude draughts, it should hang
to the ground, and it is sometimes well
to sew weights at intervals along the
hem. The brass rods which open with
the doors are quite the best means of
hanging a portiere, for if it has to be
pushed back every time the door is
opened in very short time the mate
rial will become worn where the hand

ODD TALE OF THE SEA.
story from the South Pacifc-Myste-
riOus Leak and It's Strange
Cause.

Some years ago a vessel loaded with
guano worth several thousand dollars
caught fire in the South Pacific and
was abandoned by the captain and
crew, who came ashore in the small
boats and reported the disaster. One
of the consignees thought the cargo
could be saved, as he knew that guano
would not burn, and it was his idea
that the hulk of the ship might be
found fioa ting somewhere at sea. He
chartered a small English tramp ves-
sci that happened to be at Callao, Peru,
and started out to search for the dere-
lict. After cruising for two or three
weeks he found her, the woodwork
burned to the waters edge, but the
hull sound as d dollar and the cargo
ali right. They started to tow her to
Callao, but the day before reaching
that harbor the tramp vessel they had
chartered began to fill rapidly and the
pumps could scarcely keep her aioat.
They narrowly escaped sinking with
all on board. The leak was mystery.
They managed to get her to Callao
only by the greatest eXertion. When
the ship went into the dock and was
examined it was found that one of the
plates about the center had worn
through. Further investigation dem
onstrated that the damage had been
done by a little copper rivet, which had
been accidentally left in the bottom
and had rolled back and forth over the
same spot so often and so long that
the iron plate had been worn thin and
the pressure of the water had broken
