An American Woman Who Is the
Aunt of the German Empress.
The Woman's Home Companion for
May contains an article by Mabel Percy
Haskell Of how the daughter of a New
York grocer, by her good sense and tact
has risen to a most a royal position in the
German empire:
There are many American women
who have become noblewomen, but there
is only one who has ever become aunt
to an empress-the Countess Won Valdez
see-and she not only holds that exalted
position, but is also distinguished as be-
ing the only American woman who ever
became princess in her own right quite
aside from any title acquired by mar
rage. The countess is really the Princess
de Noer, this title having been conferred
upon her by the Emperor of Austria
many years ago.
Few people in this country know the
romantic and remarkable life story Of
this American princess, who has never
returned to her native land since she left
IN the glory of her beauty and first youth
She has been so closely associated with
the exclusive life of the high nobility of
Berlin that Americans, travelling or at
nome, could not know of the American
woman who is acknowledged to be almost
power behind the German throne
This remarkable woman, although the
daughter of a New York grocer married
successfully royal parsonage and a
scion of one of the most exclnSive r.;
lies of the proud German nobility She
frankly used her influence to bring ahout
the marriage Of the present German en-
peror and her niece, and has proven her

At first sight the combination Of tea
drinking and dancing strikes one as be-

cause we live in staid old Philadelphia,
where any innovation is apt to be looked
upon at first with suspicion.
At a 1.-The Danse'' given a short time
ago the ballroom of large hotel had
been rented. AT one END were placed tho
dainty little tables containing refresh
ments, each table having a candle lamp
with q pink shade. Palms and potted
plants were used for purposes of decora-

was completely cleared for dancing pur-
poses. Small settees among the palms

dancers. Music was furnished by an ex-

A "SWAP" PARTY.
This Kind of Amusement Now Inter-

All those women who are in the habit

hope of getting something for nothing
will be delighted to hear of this new

The Hostess in the Philadelphia Press.

The invitations should read something
like this: "Mr. and Mrs. John Street re-

ty-sixth, at half after o'clock. The
swapping will begin promptly at 8, and
you are requested to bring a package
containing something which you are will

It is highly probable that your friends
will take advantage of this kind perInis-

things in their possession.
But no matter; the more outlandish the
article the more fun it's owner will have
in exchanging it for something else

Grease spots must be removed by SOL

not be changed by heat, the easiest
method of removal is to place white blot
and then to stand an iron on it-not hot
enough to color the paper. Another ef-
fective measure is to cover the spot
with pulverized French chalk, dry, or
