iority Of the duchess gowns come from
Paris, or, at least, from French houses
in London, and she has a very definite
taste of her own and does not allow
her modiste to dictate. Even when she
was arranging for the family portrait,
which was one of the pictures of this
years academy, she held her own in
the matter of her costume with the
great Sargent, who has SO often laid
down the law, even to royalties.
According to present arrangements
the duchess, who sailed Saturday, means
to be in America about three months.
Hitherto her few visits "home' have
been very brief owing to the fact that
her children are such necessity to
her and she will not be separated for
any length Of time from them. AS they
will be with her on this occasion, there
will be no necessity to hurry.
It is to be hoped that the next time
she returns from America she will not
have the experience she had the last
time. By some accident no one, at home
knew the time of the arrival Of the
boat train at Euston station, so there
was no carriage sent to meet her. She
waited patiently for some time and it
was promptly whispered on the plat
form who she was. In the amazingly
short time that crowds take to collect in
London, one gathered and she was sur
rounded in moment. 81 felt like a
thief,'' said the duchess explaining the
affair afterward. Eventually she sue
ceeded in getting a hanson and, leav-
ing all her baggage and her maid be-
hind her, literally fed.

81 have seen girls enter upon their
freshman year with only one ambition,
and that to become president. A clever
girl does not carry this fact embroi-
oered on her sleeve, but the knowing
ones recognize the symptoms. For in
stance, Z girl makes some phenom email
record, either in the lecture room or on
the athletic field, or she may have an
article published in the college maya
zine which attracts favorable comment.
Whatever her achievement, the would
be president sends her a congratulatory
note, with perhaps a box of candy or
some flowers. She also keeps birth
day book, and remembers the natal day
of every girl whose influence is worth
while.
She is usually girl whose room is
most attractive, whose fudge dish is
most prolific, whose afternoon teas are
daily affairs. She is soon recognized as
hostess. She gives little 1uncheons
and dinners at the smart tearooms,
which are now found in every college
town! She entertains her class in in
stallments six or seven at time and
picks out each group Of guests with
the skill Of confirmed dinner giver.
The would-be president knows how
to dress. she may not be extravaganza,
but she has dress for every occasion,
and never makes a mistake in fitting the
frock to the function. By and by it is
borne in upon the class, individually
and collectively, that she will be q

HOUSEHOLD EXERCISE
Develop the Body While You Are at
Work

/ cannot think Of single household
duty, that could not be converted into
a special exercise for the development
Of some part Of the body. If you wish
to obtain finely developed hips and a
small waistline, cultivate the habit of
using your feet in place of your hands
whenever it. is possible.
This sounds like dime museum trick
but it is really very practical; for In
stance, try closing the oven door and
the various drafts about the stove with
your foot. Custom has made it most
natural to move a rug with the hands,
but the foot may be used instead if
ones object is to develop the hips.
Of course, one foot should not be used
to the neglect of the other, as this
would result in unequally developed
hips.
The work day carpet sweeper can
be made an Implement of physical cul-
ture, and it's frequent use is splendid
for developing the chest and arms. Be
careful, however, TO keep your chest in
its proper position; but this you should
always do. Whether walking, sitting
or working, it is the first stepping stone
toward getting the rest Of the body in
good position.

How to Remove Traces of the Sum

Housekeepers returning to closed

dressed with polish made of a pint Of

applied with soft cloth, left for ff-
teen minutes, then rubbed briskly with
an old silk handkerchief. Gilt furni-
ture which is soiled or furnished may
be cleaned with alcohol into which

HOW A GREAT HYMN WAS WRIT.


Probably a great hymn never had a
more humble origin that ''Onward,

the most popular of our modern hymns.
In the October Delineator Allan Suther-
land writes:
held in Yorkshire village on Whit
bury Bridge school, over which Rev.
Sabine Barring Gould was curate, were
invited to attend. AS the place of the
celebration was some distance away, the
minister thought it would be an excel
lent plan to have his scholars march to
the singing of an appropriate and stir
ring hymn. Fortunately for our hymn
ology, he could find nothing in his song
books suitable 1or such an occasion, so
from sheer necessity he sat down on
the Saturday evening preceding the cell
ebration and composed this great pro-
cessional hymn, little dreaming that he
had produced that which would be

his name household word. Barring
