 The John Wade Keys Chapter held a business meeting Friday. March 31st. at the elegant home of Mrs. Maclin Hobbs. The principal feature was the election of officers,

Her efficiency and energy is well known, not only in our local Chapter, but in the State Chapters at large.
 Cultured. refined and possessing a knowledge of Revolutionary and Colonial history, which, connected with her eXecu- tive ability and tact, will make her a worthy assistant of our State Regent, Mrs. Smith.
 However much we feel the loss of Mrs. McClelland as Regent, we appreciate the honor conferred on her. She is succeeded by Mrs. Memory Pryor Peeblcs, sister of Mrs. Mcclellan. who will make quite as efficient an officer, having been closely associated with Mrs. Mcclellan in the work, and Secretary of the Chapter since its organization. The other newly-eIected officers are as follows:
 Mrs. Earnest Hine, Vice-Regent.
 Mrs. W. J. Hagan, Secretary.
 Mrs. R. M. Rawls, Historian.
 Mrs. T. M. Hobbs, Treasurer.

SUICIDE FOR BAD DINNER.
n f"ris COOK Tries to Make Away
with Herself Because of
Her Failure.

The suicide of Vatel, because there
was no fishlfor the dinner which the
great Condo gave to Louis XIV. has
round a pendant in the twentieth
century, says a Paris paper:
Nine. de RI, living in the rue
de Logelbach, recently invited a num-
Der of friends to dinner. As she de-
sired that the repast should be as
1aultless as possible, she proposed to
hire a male cook for the day to aid
Maria, who at ordinary times pre-
sided over the casseroles in Nine. de
RS apartments.
Maria was most indignant, and de-
clared that she was perfectly capable
of turning out a recherche meal all
by herself. After some hesitation Ma
RE was given "carte blanche in re-
gard to the dinner.
If the latter had confined herself
strictly to the plats, with the con-
lection of which she was well ac-
q%uainted, all would have been well.
But she proved more ambitious and
shut herself up in the kitchen with
a cookery book and started to turn
out the most complicated dishes she
could find. The result was a disas-
trous failure, and the dinner proved
simply UNBEATABLE.
When the guests were gone, Nine.
de R, who desired to console her
unfortunate cook (who has been ten
years in her service), went to the
kitchen, but failed to find her. She
then went up to her room and called
her.
Getting no reply, she knocked at
the door, but the silence remained
unbroken. At this instant she no.
ticed smoke coming out from under
the door.
Thoroughly alarmed, she sum-
moned assistance and had the door
broken open. Her suspicious were
then confirmed. Maria was living
senseless on the floor, wltha smoking
charcoal fire burning alongside her.
Her chagrin at the failure of her
dinner had been such that she had
gone upstairs, had closed all the
doors and windows and had attempts
ed to pass into an existence where
cookery works are unknown,

There was n voting contest in
Chatham, N. Y. The effort was not to

No man likes to feel that he resem-

But personal beauty is a feminine

AN UNTIDY PRINCESS.
Caroline, Afterward the Queen Of
George Nv. Of England, Was SLOW
enIy in the Extreme.

To be delicately clean in clothes
and person is as much matter OF
course to-day as is the habit of wear
ing garments or shaking hands. That
It was not always SO. says London
Modern Society, we were reminded q
day or two since when perusing q
letter of the first earl of Malmes-
bury, written when that astute dip
lomatist was sent to escort the Prin-
cess Caroline of Brunswick to Eng
land to be the bride of the prince
Of Wales, afterward George Nv. The
way was long in those days, and
hostile armies lay between Bruins
wick and England. The princess,
with her mother, the duchess (sister
to King George III), and escorted by
Lord Malmesbury and large retinue,
set out on December 30. It was
April before she was safely landed
on British soill Poor Lord Malmes-
bury did his best with his eccentric
charge, and used the time in trying
to fit the ill-educated, unregulated
girl, who even then took rank as the
princess of Wales, for the perilous
position into which she was to be
thrust.
He was distressed to find that
Princess Caroline boasted that she
could jump out of bed and appear en-
grande toilette in the course OF ID
minutes. Remembering what toilet
meant in the days of hoops and pow
der, this seemed to him only about
time enough to get dairymaid ready
for filing the milking pail he writes
to his confidential friend, the then
duke of Portland, in pathetic dis
may:
Il have had two conversations with
Princess Caroline on cleanliness and
on delicacy of speaking. On these
points I endeavored, as far as was
possible for a man, to inculcate the
necessity of great and nice attention
to every part of dress-as well as to
what was hid as to what was to be
seen. I know she wears coarse petit
coats and coarse linen and thick
stockings-and these never well
washed nor changed often enoughi
gave her credit for her boast of q
short toilet. What I could not say
further on this point I got said
through women, through Nine
| Busche and afterwards through Mrs
| Harcourt. 1t is remarkable how
amazingly her education has beer
neglected on this point, and how
much her mother, although an Eng
lish woman, was inattentive to It."

King george H., was as utterly Ger
man in training and in ideas as she
could possibly be. She inherited all
the regrettable qualities Of the first
two Hanover kings, and she early
married one of the most despicablc
of the petty potentates that swarmed
in Germany under the somber shadow
of Frederick the Great.
1t appears as if no woman ever
born could have been fitted to be the
wife of the profiigate prince-it
would have needed the nature OF an
angel and the patience of thousand
Jobs to have put up with him as
husband But in all Europe there
could not have been creature less
suited to reform Carlton house than
Princess Caroline. 1t is on record
that her father wished certain
Nine. Rosenzweit to accompany her
to England as her reader" and
when the request was refused the
duke. took Lord Malmesbury aside
and explained that the lady was quite
insignificant and unimportant, but
that he much wished her to accom-
pany the princess, for "Caroline
writes i'll, and spells i'll, so is accus-
toned to trust to Nine. Rosenzweit
on all occasions" And this at time
when letter writing was a fine art,
and the most fippant person prided
himself on the turning of neat
phrases and the graceful expression
Of pretty conceits.
The earl sums up the character OF
the unfortunate Caroline in these
words:
"She has quick parts. without dis
tinguishina understanding; ready
conception. but no judgment; caught
by the first impression. led by the
first impulse. Talkatiye, prone TO
confde in missish friendships that
last "a hours. Some natural moral
ity, but no strong notions OF is
value nor Of its necessity. without
grain of dignity or an idea OF de-
corum."
Was It much wonder that poor
Caroline wrecked herself, and that
she and her precious husband betwixt
them nearly wrecked the English
monarchy?
