were involved. The government officials

no attempt at disturbance and none
was expected. The reports circulated at

Mrs. Clarence Mackay Makes Her Ser
wants Comfortable and Happy at Her
Palatial Country Place-she Has a
Fad for Using Lavender Postage
Stamps on Her Lavender Stationery.

Twentyfour servants in one house
would seem to promise a continuous
struggle with the perplexing servant
problem, but Mrs. Clarence Mackay
has solved it in her sumptuous country
place on Long Island by g living as
commodation as she did to the rest of
the house.
This small army Of helpers is directed
by the housekeeper, who has her own
suite of rooms, livingroom, bedroom and
bath. The position of housekeeper in
one Of these great country places is no
sinecure and to see that every sign of
wear and tear is removed as fast as it
appears is in itself no small task. The
housekeeper must spend hours in the
hnenroom, which is ceiled and panelled
with cedar and filled with treasures
from European looms and embroiderers,
and then there is a separate room for
requires weekly attention.
Mrs. Mackey's maid has her own
suite Of rooms, the butler has his and
the other servants have cosy apart
ments in a wing Of their own. There
is diningroom for the upper servants
and another one for the lower servants,
and AFTERNOON tea is served every day
and on the top floor of their wing is a
pleasant room fitted with a machine
and other conveniences for sewing and
| cutting, and here the maids are found
many an afternoon making pretty
things for themselves with the help Of
the housekeeper. =
The head footman spends most Of his
days in the silver room, which is really
a large vault filed with a rare collec-

day and the head footman has to have
the assistance Of another man to help
him in his work.
There is a cook and second cook

Wife Of the Governor General of Aus
tralia Was Once a Homeless Wait in
Montreal Adopted Daughter Of
Lord Mount Stephen Is Now the
Wife Of Prominent Diplomat.

Lady Northcote, wife Of the governor
general of the Australian common
wealth, is the heroine of as pretty a
romance as was ever found between tho
covers Of story Of adventure. Fifty
years ago Lady Northcote was home
less little waif wandering in the streets
of Montreal. Fate led her to the home
Of George Stephen, who is now Lord
Mount Stephen, president Of the Can
adam Pacific railroad. There were no
children in the Stephen home and the
winsome ways of the little waif won all
hearts and Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen de-
cided to adopt her.
Fortune prospered Mr.. Stephen and
his shrewdness and sagacity won him
great wealth. When his Canadian bus
iness was firmly established he went
to England with his wife and daughter,
that the latter might have every ad-
vantage. They entertained lavishly ct
their beautiful home on Carlton House
terrace, one Of the smartest residence
streets in London, and the young girl
was one Of the bellies Of the season. She
was bright, vivacious young woman,
devoted to her adopted parents, who
in turn worshiped the girl to whom
they had given name and home.
In her third season the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen was married to
young Stafford Northcote, son Of the
distinguished statesman, Lord Iddes-

New Tints and Trimmings.

The French have just brought out
which they name le trefe incarnat, or
the red clover. All Of the red clover
colorings, from the very faintest to the
richest and deepest. are represented,
and exquisitely beautiful they are.
The new gray tints, from the softest
pearl that looks almost like white down
to a. thick moleskin coloring, are very
much in the van. There is one very
fashionable color that is somewhat
whimsically known as elephant s
breath, and which is really and truly far
nearer the color of an elephants hide
than what one might imagine his
breath to be.
Both the clover and the elephant
colorings are trimmed with embroi-
deries in the dull, faded tones; and
dyed lace is often used to supplement-
the other trimmings. The exact tint
Of the cloth must be reproduced, or
the effect is failure.
And, by the way, dyed laces are. re-
newing their vogue Of the springtime.
When first introduced they were looked
upon as merely, a passing freak Of
fashion; but they have really made mad
quite firm niche for themselves. The
little separate blouses and bodices in
the dyed laces are quite often an &C.
compartment to the tailor-made gowns
and when the three-piece suit-which,
| incidentally. retains all of it's fashion

the dyed lace Is more often than not

A PAGE FOR FEMININE FANCY
WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

Ideal Arms.-My arms are so rough and
horrid am ashamed Of them. Is
there any way by which rough, sharp
elbows can be made smooth and
dimpled7-Vanity.
To have ideal arms is not such diff
cult thing, but you must begin right
and keep at it. Arms with rough ell
bows are not pretty arms. If the ell
bows are rough, it means two things
First, that you are in the habit of rest
ing on your elbows, and, second, that
you do not know how to take care Of
them. -
There is certain society beauty Of
London who, at the beginning Of the
season, found herself the owner Of O.
pair Of elbows that were rough and
hard. Instead of dimples there were
calouses. She sent for beauty doctor,
who treated them thus: She soaked the
elbows in hot water, as one would soak
one's finger tips before manicuring.
Then she touched them with cold cream,
doing up each elbow carefully in alb
sorbent cotton and fine linen. She
treated them in this manner for half q
dozen nights, and the callouses disap-
peared and the dimples began to come.
Elbows that are rough must be sand
papered literally. A little powdered
pun1ice is best. Let it be rubbed over
the arms as tho one were going to rub
off the rough places. Then let the arms
be anointed with vaseline and almond
oil melted together in equal quantities.
This course will soon reduce the rough
est arms.

Of her life to keep the other two-thirds

She has found that little pure borax
will save a lot Of muscular activity and
much wear and tear. #.

borax water, two teaspoonfuls to a pail

water, and let's dry in the shade. When
nearly dry she irons on the wrong side

As for her inoleum, table oil-cloths,
woodwork and windows, she washes
them all in the hot borax suds; half a
cake Of shaved CASTLE soap and two
teaspoonfuls Of pure borax to a pail Of
very hot water, and they don It have to
