Although the excellent plan Of using
herbs for all lamentations was good,
yet it is not always possible, and in
cases of emergency there should al
ways be a remedy at hand to supply
the place of herbs. l presume many
of my readers will think it useless to
tell more about hot lamentations,
which may be so easily, quickly and
effectively made with flannel cloths and
hot water, or a hot bran poultice TO-
%mentation, the soapy blanket fomenta-
ton, and all such ready appliances
about which the club lectures instruct
ed you in the past, but there are now
so many new names on your list, that
these things will be new to the ma
jority, and besides it pays to revive
such valuable lessons as were taught
In the earlier lectures. A good-sized
piece of soft, old flannel blanket should
he folded tightly and placed in the bot
tom IF a pan, or pail, and boiling wa
ter poured over it, just enough to fill
1t without soaking or dripping. Let It
remain a few moments in order that
the heat may be well diffused through
the cloth and then wiring out and apply
where it is needed. The result Is quick
relief from pain, and a start on the
road 70 recovery.

up in the idea that it is their common
duty to serve with the colors and die in

emergency. so that they can rise in their
valor and fidelity above those of other
countries, who either make fighting the
occupation Of their caste or follow 1t as
mercenaries. England is not quite up

Dropped Marie for Ena.

Antoinette at all, for, unlike ner rela-
tives, she is a Roman Catholic and
the people of both nations would have
welcomed the alliance. But suddenly
Alfonso dropped Marie, probably
never sent her letters back or asked
her to return his, and fell head over
heels in love with Ena. Her whole
name is Princess Victoria Eugene
Julia Ena of ~Battenberg, and she is
the daughter of Princess Beatrice, SO
that would make her German and
English. Maybe Alfonso was trying to
''cut out" Eitel Fritz, for the German
prince was reported in love with his
cousin Ena. Ena is the daughter of
King Edwards youngest sister and she
is just as English as she can be, al
though her name sounds German and
her father was of German origin. She
is one of the favorites of the British
king, and the beauty, or n of the
beauties, Of the British royal family.
1t was known that Alfonso, smitten

Victoria, her aunt.
And when it was announced that
Alfonso was to visit England every
body said it was all fixed. But while
in England Alfonso saw the Princess
Victoria Patricia Helena Elizabeth OF
Connaught, niece Of King Edward and
cousin Of Ena. Her father is Prince
Arthur William Patrick of Connaught
and Strahern.
So the rivalry for Alfonso settled
down between Ena and Patsy" tie

cesses. Perhaps with Alfonso it was a
