A WOMAN'S DISCOVERY

"a woman,' said a papermaker,
"invented blue paper by accident. Be-
fore her time all paper was white.
"She was the wife of William
Eastes, one of the leading papermakers
of England in the eighteenth century.
In passing thru the paper plant one day
she dropped a big blue bag into vat
of pulp. Tastes was a stern man, and
SO, since no one had seen the accident,
Mrs. tastes decided to say nothing
about it.
".The paper in the vat, which should
have been white, came out blue. The
workmen were mystifed, Eastes en-,
ragged, while Mrs. Eastes kept quiet
The upshot was that the paper was
sent to London marked damaged to
be sold. for whatever it would bring.
|'The selling agent in London was
shrewd. He saw that this bluetinted
paper was attractive. He declared it
to: be a wonderful new invention, and
he sold it off like. hot cakes at double
the white paper's price. e.
: fIEastes soon received an order fol
more of the blue paper-an order that
he and his men wasted several days
in trying to fill. -
"Then. Mrs. Eastes came forward
and told the. story of the blue :clotf
bag. There was no difficulty after
that in making blue paper. This
papers price was very high, Eastes
having monopoly in making it.

MRS. STOKES SIMPLE LIFE

=. It was with the captivating joy and
pride of a child that Mrs. Stokes led
me from room to room of her tiny
apartment, and pointed out her meth
DDS Of simplifying the many trying
problems Of the average housekeeper.
She explained that she uses no table
linen, but substitutes white Japanese
napkins that are destroyed after each
meal, writes Lillian Bayne Griffin in
Harper's Bazaar: This economy reduces
laundry and mending. Nice napery
amounts to quite an item in the house
hold expenses if the frequent changes
necessary to immaculate order are
made. On the other hand, there are
pretty Japanese napkins at 20 cents the
hundred which entirely eliminate laun-
dry work.
But her most radical economy Of time
and labor is in the culinary department.
She fully understands how thousands Of
good women use up their lives in the
kitchen, and she has so systematized
her housekeeping that. her meal-getting
takes the minimum of time. She uses
but little meat, substituting eggs cooked
in innumerable ways. She. uses many
unlocked foods, plenty Of milk, good
bread and butter, fruit, but neither cof-
fee nor tea. Her apartment is put in
perfect order directly after breakfast
every morning and then she has the
remainder Of the day to devote to her
writing and to her work among the
poor. 80 4slS. 80 49,

WEDDING OF ROYAL SERVANTS

An interesting wedding recently took
place at Sandringham church. The
bridegroom was Charles Henry jack
SON, the kings head gamekeeper, and
the bride was Mrs. Elizabeth Butler,
housekeeper at Sandringham house.
The Prince and Princess of Wales
children were present at the wedding,
and so was Princess Victoria, who, with
the Hon. Miss L. Knollys, took snap
shots of the bride and bridegroom and
pelted them with rice as they left the
church. The king sent message of
congratulation to the newly married
couple; and expressed the wish that
much happiness might be in store for
them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson received sew
eral handsome presents from the king
and queen and members of the royal
families Of Denmark and England.
Their majesties gifts were dinner
service, pearl and diamond pendant,
platinum chain and a diamond scarf
pin. A gold and blue enamel inkstand
came from the Princess Victoria, sill
yer sugar castor from Prince Nicholas
of Greece, and a diamond brooch from
his charming consort.

ETHEL RoosEvELT's COURAGE

Miss Ethel Roosevelt is a girl with
a gracious bearing, bright: blue eyes,
flowing golden hair, a frank counte-
nance and CHEEKY disposition.
At Sycamore Hill, where she is
spending the summer, she enters into
the sport of the other children with
zest, but delights to ride her thoro-
bred more than all else.
Her love for equestrian excitement
came near resulting in an accident not
long ago when she was cantering along
the bridlepath close by her father s
residence at Oyster. Bay.
Coming along the path at rapid
speed, the clatter Of her horses hoofs
drowned the noise of an approaching
automobile, and, as asclump Of bushes
hid the machine from view, her horse
ran squarely into it before she was
able to bring him to a stop. The on
rushing automobile tore the reins from
her hands and snapped them asunder.

The Value of Plenty of Exercise
BY ELEANOR MORRIS,

Exercise is quite as necessary to
health as food, air and cleanliness;
without it there would be no physical
or mental development. It is the con-
slant moving of the little hands and
legs that develops the body and brain
of the infant. Walking is the natural
exercise, and On it depends the health
of the blood, muscles and joints.
There are many exercises given by
writer's of physical culture that are
simply for those that have time and
money at their. command. To the av-
erage person, these instructions might
as we'll be written in Sanscrit; they
would be just as comprehensive. The
woman busy with her social duties, the
mother of family with her endless
cares, the woman that devotes many
hours to business-what time would
they have to perform such exercises as
are laid out for them by these writers
of physical exercised When advised tc
do so and so, as an exercise, the reply
is usually: IT have no time for sucl
nonsense; when I am tired want tt
rest This is indeed too true; rest il
what is needed. The thought that ]
wish to convey is that change of occu
patton is rest. If you have used YOU
brain all day, exercise the body al
night; if the body has been doing the
work, relax by using the brain; 20 tt
an entertainment, read or spend the
evening pleasantly discussing the top
les Of the day.
The exercises for those fatigued from
social duties or acts Of charity, theil
time should be so arranged that they
could have free, one hour before thu
evening meal and, clad in loose gown
indulge in a few movements of thu
arms, simple ones, like those that wer,
taught them in early school days. Thi.
will consume five minutes; then tn,
plunge bath Of tepid water, scrubbins
brlskly, rinsing thoroly, drying quick
1y, friction with a hair glove ant
cologne; you may then rest five min
utes before dressing. With this treat
ment every trace Of fatigue will hav
left you, and your digestion ready t,
cope with your evening repast.
For the mother and housekeeper
would advise the same course, and b
it always understood that a certain
amount Of exercise in walking out i
the open air each day must be done
whether you are so inclined or not.
For those whose duties compel then
to remain indoors the, greater part o
the day, walking in the open air is a
