r ADY MIMIC, who will succeed
IL Lady Curzon as vicereine of In
dia, has host Of friends on this
side Of the Atlantic. AS the wife of
the governor general of Canada she was
exceedingly popular both in the Domin-
ion and in the states. She was not a
stranger to Canada, for as Lady Mel
gund she came to Ottawa in 1888 when
Lord Melgund was secretary to the
marquis Of Lansdownc. She quickly
made friends and added q charm to
Government house that was renewed
when she returned to Rideau hall as
it's mistress.
Lady Mimic is a born hostess. She
has a good memory FOR faces and names,
a git not to be despised by the wife
of a public man. Her favoritc sport is
skating, and, she was noticeable, even
in Canada, where the women exhibit the
very poetry of motion on the ice, for
her grace. Her love for flowers and
plants led her to offer frequent prizes
for tho bcst-kept lawns and gardens.
She raised $4,000 for the Victorian
Order of Nurses which was organized
by Lady Aberdeen. and added the wing
to Maternity hospital at Ottawa which
is named for Lord Mimic. She is hon
orary president of any number of soci-
cites and organizations in Canada.

FOR "FUssY" APPETITEs

When the appetite Of the family be.
gins to falter and everyone feels out
Of sorts try leaving the meat out of
the daily menu for few days. Eat
fruit and green things in large quanti-
ties. Grapes are said to be a specific
for malaria, and fortunately they grow
plentifully in malarial communities:
Doctors prescribe lettuce, tomatoes and
lemons for liver troubles, but salads
should have little vinegar in them
when eaten for health's sake. Pineap-
pie is a delicious breakfast fruit, and
is believed to be very efficacious for
diseases of the throat. Grape fruit,
also chieory and. lettuce, salad, with
plain oil and vinegar dressing, are
excellent for the nerves.
The English people eat watercress
plentifully, believing that it is a rem
edy for lung troubles. Figs and dates
at night are not only delicious little
bedtime bite but decidedly wholesome.
Don It drink extremely cold things
early in the morning. or late at night
and don't go to bed too early: Too
much sleep is not good for digestion.
A week or two of dieting on these
lines will rest the system and encour-
age tired appetites.

HOUSEKEEPERS' HINTS

Implanted wire netting not only
makes a good rest for fatirons when
several thicknesses are used, but is
most effectual to clean them on.
Paraffin can be used the second
time to cover Jelly and jam if it is
washed clean and boiled before being
turned over the fruit again.
The short ends of candles are most
satisfactory to start a fire with, since
they burn with steady flame till the
kindling and wood is well ignited.
It is. said flies will not congregate on
the outside of a screen door if the
woodwork is rubbed occasionally with
kerosene, the odor Of which seems to
be offensive to them.
The southern laundress ties lump
of arrowroot in a thick cotton cloth,
and boils it with the fine white pieces
to give them a dainty odor more de-
ightful than that from sachet powder.

WEDDING sUPERsTITIoNs

A bride who finds a spider ON her
wedding dress may consider herself
blessed.
The bride who dreams of fairies the
night before her marriage will be thrice
blessed.
If the wedding ring is dropped dur
ing the ceremony, the bride may as well
wish herself dead, for she will always
have ill-luck.
If the bridegroom carries a miniature
horseshoe in his pocket he will always
have good luck.
No bride or bridegroom shall be
given telegram on the way to chureb.
1t is positively a sign of evil
Kiss a bride right after the eere-
mony, and before the newly-made hus-
band has chance to do so, and you
will have excellent luck thruout the
year.
Should bride perchance see a cof-
fin while being driven to the railway
station prior to departure upon her
wedding tour, she should order tho
driver to turn back and start over
again, or else she will surely. meet with
bad luck.

even now that she is of an advanced
age. Thick applications of paint and
powder are part of her plan. The re-
suit tho is far from successful.
Queen Christina is too near Paris
not to be well tinged with some of
the good ideas that come from that
metropolis, but she wears her clothes
with a stiffness which is distressing
even in spite of the youthfulness Of
her slender figure. Queen Margherita,
OF course, is the exception, as she
dresses as beautifully as when she
first swayed the hearts Of the people
of Italy by her wonderful laces and
pearls.
Queen Helena Lacks Taste.
Queen Helena Of Italy, in spite Of
her beauty, will never have the taste
OF Margherita. Altho she appears in
stunning creations upon great occa-
sions. her clothes usually have more
OF the appearance of comfort than
great smartness.. She has odd notions,
too, about wearing her gowns a great
many times, which she will do if she
happens to like one particularly. Not
long ago someone demonstrated with her
marked n! that, as the king. liked it, she
old not see any reason for not wear
ing it. Queen Olga of Greece, be-
loved by her people as she is, has never
shown great taste in her dress and
has always cared more for comfort.

QUEENS WHO DRESS LIKE DID, FRUlAPS

Some of them, according to the dress

That England's queen marriages to
dress even as we'll as she does is be-
cause she has made a chum of a we'll

shown her how to shop and something
of how to wear clothes.
Kaiserin's Awful Hats.
The kaiserin wears her hats too far
back upon her head and her hair is of
the short and fuzzy order around her
forehead, which is hopeless in these
days Of luxuriant locks. She makes
the mistake of drawing the rest of it
back tight from her face, and this is
one Of the reasons that she is never at
her best in evening gowns.
The kaiserin has not many individual
ideas about her dress and leaves the de-
tails to her dressmaker. Her good fig
ure and the fact that her riding hats
are worn low over her forehead In a
way that suits her, makes her riding
dress the most becoming that the en-
press puts on. The late tip-tilted hats
are also more suited to her than any
thing she has worn formerly, and have
improved her considerably.

it is stated that it will be further re-

Honors Showered on the Visitors.

M RS. LLOYD GRIsGOM, as the
lVl wife of the United States minis

Miss Alice Roosevelt during her stay
in Japan, The garden party which
Mr.. and Mrs. Griscom gave for Miss
Roosevelt and the members of the Taft
which 1000 guests were present. An
empowered colonhade had been erected
on the lawn and there Mr. and Mrs.
Griscom. Miss Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft received the throng. Among the
guests was Nine. Togo, and Miss Roose-
welt showed the greatest interest in the
wife. of the famous admiral, who is ex-
IDENTIFY Nine. Togo was equally inter-
ested in. the American girl, for she was
one Of those who went to the station to
see the party off. -
Everywhere the Japanese received
the visitors with royal honors, and they
went to even greater extremes than
they did on the occasion of General
Grant S famous visit.
Never before was the private park Of
the mlkado opened to foreigners. Miss
Roosevelt and her friends were the first
Americans to enjoy the beauties of
these wonderful gardens, which for over
800 years, have been reserved for the
exclusive use Of the royal house Of
Japan, and the entertainment furnished
them at the palace was on par with
this great distinction. The banquet
given in their honor by the mikado was
ma gnifcent, the mikado himself sitting
at the head Of the table, with the crown
princess on his right and the Princess
Kanin on his Left, while on either side
of Miss Roosevelt end Secretary Taft
were the Prirces Fushimi and Kanin.
Minister and Mrs. Griscom sitting di-
rectly opposite the mikado.

following dazzled the Americans; but it
was not in the palace alone that they
were treated to surprises. From the

returning from the war, or a king on a
tour of his own possessions. Fireworks
were set off day and night; the streets
were alive with colors, in which those
Of the United States were prominent
and everywhere the greatest curiosity
was manifested by the people in the
daughter of President Roosevelt.
Miss Roosevelt, dressed almost in.
variably, in white, seemed to enjoy
immensely the attentions shown her
and on many occasions Secretary Taft
gallantly kept in the background, and
gave her the center Of the stage.

Long colored chiffon wells are again
draped over the palmer ART smaller
round hats. To make these go on easily
and effectively, put narrow shir ribbon
along the top. This will tie it to the hat
crown so that 1t is impossible to wear 1t
incorrectly, and will save time besides.
One Of the prettiest ideas in midsummer
millinery is the use of colored wings I'm.
der the hat brims. Wings at such re-
duced prices are now on the counters that
they offer an inexpensive way of re.
furnishing the summer hat. For instance,
a Tuscan straw is filled" underneath
with pale blue wings and has pink roses
on top. Or, the wings are chosen to
match the outside trimming, whether u
be flowers or bows.
