1t may be Of interest to point out
at this time that the most expensive
coronation ON record was that of the
present Gar of Russia. Upward Of
$4,000 600 was spent by the govern
ment alone, and fully another $4,000
600 by the public authorities OF var
iOus Russian towns. The represent
ativeS OF other powers We'd With each
other in lavish outlay, and, counting
the sums spent by other persons, the
coronation OF Nicholas II. cannot have
cost much less than $4,000 900.
The coronation of Gar Nicholas l.
was also an expensive affair. The then
Duke of DevOnshire was the British
representative and he spent fully
$3.50 900 of his own money in cOnnec-
ton with it. The coronation of George
w. was the most expensive in Eng
lish annals, and this cost only $12,-
800 900 OF this amount $125,000 was
expended on the coronation robe and
1926, 900 on the crown.
The cost Of the coronation OF George

1t was this that had made her jump
and wake up, for she did have a gold
dollar that her uncle. Henry Thorne,
had given her once when she was a
baby, and it was put away in a
drawer, just as Miss Prim had said.
She had not bought of this before,
and it was of no use to think of it
now. for though she had never been
told not to spend the dollar, it was
only because her mother believed she
would never even dream of doing so.
But Nellie did dream of it, over and
over. and each time she woke with a
start and lay awake a long time. She
was pale and silent next morning. and
after struggle with herself took the
gold dollar out. She put the money
her mother had given her in her little
purse, while in her pocket was Uncle
Henry Thorne's gold dollar. She had
scarcely decided yet that she was go
ing to spend it, but she had felt for it
where she kept it in little ring box
under her clothes the first thing when
she got up that morning, and the little
ring box had been pushed back under
her clothes empty when she came
down to breakfast.
Miss Prim was unusually pleasant
that morning. She brought both hats
, out to the light for Nellie to see, and
said there was more than a dollars
difference III the two. and Nellie could
see that herself But Miss Prim looked
a little surprised when she saw the

why" she said. II haven't seen one
for a long time. I'll keep it. | guess
for a little niece of mine" Then she
wrapped up the hat for Nellie talking
pleasantly.
When Nellie started with her rur.
chase there was a feeling of triumph
in possessing it that wore off as she
walked along. She did not feel as
! happy in the way she had expected
She remembered now for the first time
that her mother would no doubt won
der at the cheapness of the hat and
speak of it in a way that would make
her silence equal to a falsehoOd. She
had never told her mother an untruth

Then she remembered how happily
she had tripped away to Miss Prim' s
yesterday. 1t did not seem to her that
she could be the same little girl.
But Mrs. Thorne said less than Mel
lie had expected. She was tired and
only kissed her pretty daughter.
Why. Nell" she smiled Il don't
see what you want of more trimming
than that. | think a good deal less
would have answered. It's rather old
for you now. but will be nice with a
little alteration for next year"
With a sigh of relief Nellie took her
purchase to her room. That night
she dreamed again. Over and over
she thought Miss Primes niece had
come to see her and brought the gold
dollar. Her mother had seen it and
said, why, that is Nellies gold dol
lar that her uncle, Henry Thorne gave
her" And then the little girl had
said, mo. it isn't; it's mine that my
Aunt Hester Prim sent me on Easter
When she was dressed in her pretty
new gown and ready to go to church
next morning she certainly looked
very sweet, though she was so pale
that her mother said, I'm afraid you
are not well, Nellie. The excitement
has been too much for you. Easter
isn't only for pretty things, my dear. y
Flakes cold was no better and Mrs
Thorne did not go to church. BY and
by she prepared dinner, thinking Mel,

hungry Somewhat before she ex-

open and the little girl burst into the

Removing Ink Stains From Cloth

The removal of ink stains is always
a problem, because inks are made by
so many processes. Soap and water
will remove some inks, while strong
chemicals make little impression en
others. The sooner the stain is
treated the more easily it is removed.
Washing OF soaking in cold water, or
in sweet or sour milk, will remove
the greater part of the ink and fire.
quently the stain. Spots on washable,
articles should be soaked in milk or
water Rub the spot and change the
liquid frequently. After two or three
days, if stain remains, wet it with a
strong solution of oxalic acid and
place it in the sun. After this rinse
very horoughly.-Ladies' Home Jour
