SEWING CIRCLE GUEST
MRS. ROOSEVELT ATTENDED
CHURCH TEA YESTERDAY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 21.-The st.
Hilda sewing circle of Christ Episcopal
Church has disbanded for the season, but
with them the members will carry a pleas
ant memory to last until they meet again
In the fall, for Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt
was their guest at a tea they gave yester-
day. Mrs. Roosevelt has been long a men,
Der Of the society, which has for it's object
the making Of all sorts of garments for the
very poor, and her heart is in the work.
When she Is at Sycamore Hill she never
misses meeting, rain or shine and with
her work box she goes down to the parish
house Of Christ Church, which is about
three miles from the Roosevelt residence,
and there meets her old friends and neigh
bors from Oyster Bay.
Inc president of the st. Hilda society is
MRS. Henry Homer Washburn, wife of the
munster m Not SO long since 1t sent a box
or heavy clothing to one of the most dis
tant points in Alaska. Mrs Roosevelt
helped in the preparation of that box and
TOOK the keenest enjoyment in rendering
this service for others.
Always Thinking of Others.
MIS-. Roosevelt is always thinking of
other people," said one of the sewing cir
Gle today. She is continually planning for
those less fortunately situated than herself.
WHEN she goes 10 w aShlngton in the fall
she takes work with her, and there is no
more interested or skillful sewer in the
society. She is the sweetest woman l ever
knew, and there is nothing strained or at
1ected about her. She becomes one OF us
at THESE meetings, and puts us all perfect
~ at ease at once. She has a hearty
greeting for everybody, calling each by
name, and she is as much interested in the
ordinary happenings of the village as any
one.
"One would naturally think that the many
matters which engage the attention of the
fresidents wife in Washington would SO
occupy her mind that she would forSet the
comparatively unimportant affairs of Oys-
ter Bay, but she seems to have fully as
good memory as her husband. She calls
us each by name and asks after each men,
Der OF the family. Mrs. Roosevelt remained
with US an hour and half yesterday Dur
ing that time she not the Presidents
wife, but just one of u.s."
1t is probable that in the near future fol-
lowing the custom of the previous years,
the sewing society will be entertained by
Mrs. Roosevelt. Last year the members
were taken out in the Sylph to witness the
naval review, and on other occasions. they
nave gone up to Sycamore Hill, where the
President JOINS in the conversation, and is
most cordial 10 every one of them.

OF rules and regulations which to
healthy children must be most aggra-

The princess Elizabeth, daughter of
the queen of Bohemia. has left in her
letters an account of the manner in
which she was obliged to approach
the dinner table when she and her
brothers and sisters were receiving
their education in Holland.
The children had their dinner at II
o'clock. The boys entered the dining
room first and formed in a line while
their teachers and gentlemen in wait
ing lined up behind them Then came
in the little princesses.
Each princess, as she entered the
room made deep curtsey to her broth
ers, to which they responded with a
low bow. Then the princess curtseyed
again to the schoolmasters and others
behind the princess, but not so low
as to her brothers..
She then went around the table and
stood opposite her brothers and gave

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

It is worth knowing that a change
In food can cure dyspepsia. II deem
1t my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured ne of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. I followed instruc-
tons and now am entirely well.
''The whole family like Grape-Nuts
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit.''
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that It
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-.
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down. the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. It is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use. ,.s.s..

die will then float just like a piece Of
straw. The reason of this is that a
men1scus, or bed, convex on one side,
and concave on the other, is formed
upon the surface of the water, and the
surface of this meniscus, being large
in comparison with that of the needle,
the latter is supported by it, so that
scarcely any part of the needle touches
the water; of course. if the water
penearates the needles eye, the weight
OF the fluid would cause the needle to
sink Immediately. Another method,
says Montreal Herald, is to put leaf
OF cigarette or tissue paper on the
surface of lumber of water, lay
needle very gently upon the paper.
which will soon become soaked and
sink to the bottom of the glass, leav-
ing the needle floating on the top of
the water.

ing to her governess she again curt
seyed slightly. The governess made
low curtsey in return.
The princess now took off her
gloves, which she was required to
wear when she entered the dining
room, and handed them to an attend
ant with another curtsey.
Having done this, she curtseyed to
her brothers, and man came to her
with a basin of water in which she
washed her hands, dropping the hold
er of the basin curtsey for his pains.
After grace was said, all standing
meantime, the princess made another
curtsey and a ninth and final one just
as she took her seat at the table.
Each princess had to go through
this ceremony as she came in to din
ner, and as there were five of them,
it took some time to get the children
all seated at the table.
The little princes, of course, had to
respond gravely with low bow to
every curtsey that their sisters made
to them, and they stood in a line bob
bling their heads until all the girls
were seated. So it was half an hour
after the sharp appetites of the chill
dren and the hands of the castle clock
had announced the dinner hour before
the children were actually eating.
The boys were allowed to have four
hours day for exercise and play; all
the rest of the time, when they were
not eating or sleeping. they were
Studying law, history; mathematics,
languages and theology.
The girls were allowed to have
scarcely any time for play; but when
not at their lessons they were en-
gagged in their sewing and embroidery.
Their food was plain and limited
in quantity and they knew each day
what they we're to have to eat, for
every Monday they had the same
dishes, the same every Tuesday, and
so on.
They attended morning and evening
prayers, and listened to a short SER
mon every day.
On Sunday after church they had to
sit down and write out as much as
they could remember of the sermon
they had heard, and twice a week
learned ministers or college profess
sors lectured to the children while
they were at dinner.

had rag dolls, made mud pies and
were allowed any amount of time for
