The Away.From. Home Girl.

"WIite your home letters regu-
larly and keep in touch with your
parents and old friends by weekly
correspondence, writes Margaret
E. Sangster, in the March Ladies'
Home Journal, addressing girls who
have gone from home into the world
to seek their livelihood. "Never let
a Sunday afternoon drift out with
out your hour spent in an intimate
and loving letter to the dear mother.
This is a good occupation for Sun
day, and | can hardly tell you how
minute and confidential and affec-
tionate this writing should be. But
there Is no need. You know what
YOU like to hear from home, and
what mother and father most long
sor, when your letter comes. | fol.
low those letters. Mother is in the
kitchen, washing the dishes. She
wipes her hands and sits down in
the low rocking chair by the win
dow where the lilac Is beginning to
bud. Father stands between the
table and the door, waiting to hear
what you have said, and aware that
he must wait until mother has salts
fed her heart with the frs. reading.
Then it will be his turn. To them
both you are, aud you will always
be, Just their own little girl, and you
can never send them line which
they will not scan with eagerness.
So never put off your family at home
with scrappy, hurried scrawl, take
time; and tell them everything

The old saw which declared that
the first duty of an ambassador was
to keepa good cook had much truth
in it, as it was short and pithy
way of indicating that he must en-
tertain and make himself agreeable.
TO keep himself fully informed as TO
what is going on, he must be in
touch, in constant contact with the
foreign court and people, and he ac-
complishes this by generous but
discriminating exercise Of hospi-
tslity. So we'll is this principle
recognized that the salaries of am
bassadors and ministers are regu-
lated by the cost Of living and en-
,tertaining at the various embassies
and legations more than by any
other consideration.
We are 50 completely CONNER
cial people that we are apt to un-
derestimate the really enormous
part played by the personal element
in the affairs of other countries.
We are inclined to overlook the
truth that elsewhere trade does not
rest on so stable and independent q
basis as it does with us, but is infiu-
enced by this or that mans partic-
ular course Of policy, by the move
ments Of parties, by the character
and dispos .tior Of individual states
men, and SO on to an extent which
is unknown among ourselves. And
it is not only trade which is affected
by the personal element in govern
ments abroad, but everything else.
1t is, therefore, absolutely necessary
that our ambassadors should be per-
sonalities capable Of discharging ex-
alted official functions and carry
ing on the routine of business. -

Refused the Crown OF Spain.

The remark able romance OF Elise
Hensler, the Boston girl who mar
ried King Ferdinand, o. Portugal,
is recalled by Mabel Percy Haskell,
in the March Ladies' Home Jour
nal. At her marriage Miss Hens
Ter was created the Countess Of Ed
la, and with her royal husband took
up her home in the beautiful Palace
Of Cintra. "Had she wished it the
Countess Of Eila might have been
Queen of Spain, for King Ferdi-
nand declined the crown of Spain
in 1869, soon after his marriage to
the beautiful American girl. 1t was
offered to him by General Prim and
General Serrano, and both the
King and his lovely wife decided
that their quiet life, SO free from
cares of state, was infinitely to be
preferred to the worry and fret Of a
great European court. Ferdinand
died in 1885, and since then the
countess has lived in retirement in
the palace of Cintra. She is visited
by members Of the present royal
family and is greatly beloved by
them, for they never can forget how
iine and good was her gentle influ-
ence over the King, and they shared
his admiration for her. She is
treated as if she had been born to
the purple instead Of far across the

Book Cleaning.

If a grease spot by any i'll chance
gets on the leaves Of a book, it may
be removed by applying the same
cleaning agents that would be used
for cloth. Fuller's earth mixed
with water enough to form a creamy
combination may be used. II should
