HOW TO COOK s

Fish like meat must be either nut
into a hot oven or into boiling water
to coagulate the juices on the outside
and keep the flavoring in. A fish may
be planked wholly on the board. The
time Of cooking does not depend upon
the weight of the fish. A roast OF
beef, for instance. the heavier-the
greater the time of cooking. A fish
takes its weight in length rather than
In thickness, so we do not increase
materially the time of cooking. Cold
cooked fish may be made into a mum

Could Not Share Throne.
He Immediately proposed. Miss
Deacon knew very well that the best
the prince could offer her was a NOR
ganatic marriage, and she rejected his
suit. Thereupon the gallant emper-
or-to-be offered to renounce his rights
of succession and to leave Germany
forever, if need be, in order to marry
Miss Deacon on terms of equality.
OF course the kaiser got wind Of
what was going on.
The young lover was promptly or

prince bravely stuck to his guns. But
when the emperor threatened to lock

To-day the crown prince is happily
married to a wife of his fathers

As soon as she was well launched
in society, Miss Deacon began making
strong friendships lii the great world

Suitors in Plenty.
Mrs. Baldwin had Lady Somerset's
house in Mayfair, London; a beautiful
little maison opposite the Chapel OF
Our Lady of Consolation, in Paris,
and villa at Versailles.
With all these charms, it could not
be doubted but that Gladys Deacon
would soon have suitors enough to

to be precise, in 1900. He was Claude
Lowther, called the handsomest man
in England. Together they made a
striking pair, and the matchmakers
had them engaged-by rumor. But
it was not to be. Gladys Deacon went
her way and Mr.. Lowther went his.

But Gladys Deacon gave the noble
lord, who some day may be the duke
of Newcastle, his congo, and he mar
ried some one else.
Then came the affair which nearly
brought about international complica-
tons. Only Miss Deacon's natural
good sense saved the day. The Ger
man emperor, who wished his eldest
son, heir to the throne, to see some
thing in English life, graciously con-
sented that Prince Fritz should pay a
visit to Blenheim palace, the regal
home of the duke of Marlborough and
his American bride, once Consuelo
Vanderbilt. The duchess, who wanted
to make his stay as pleasant as pos
sible, invited Miss Deacon to meet
him. The prince, always susceptible
to feminine charms, had already seen
and admired her on the continent.
Amid the congenial surroundings of
the English country life their former
acquaintance ripened rapidly. The

Prince Charming Arrives.
Two years later Lord Brooke, son
and heir of the earl of Warwick, came
on the scene. He was young, good
looking, not rich, but had influence at
court through his mother People
really believed that Miss Deacon had
lost her heart at last, but it was a
false alarm.
And then-Baron Antoine de Char
cite!
Amiable, good looking, very rich,
possessed of important position and
scion of one of the proudest families
in France, the young nobleman is one
of the most desirable parts in Eu-
rope.
There is good American blood in the
young baron. His mother was Miss
Antoinette Polk of Tennessee, a niece
of President James K. Polk. After the
civil war Mrs. Polk took her two
daughters, Antoinette and Rebecca,
and her son, Van Leer Polk, to Italy
to live. 1t was in Rome that Antoi-
nette Polk met Baron de Charette,
then serving at the vatican. The i'm
questionable Italians had already
hailed the fair American as the most
beautiful woman who had ever come
to their shores, and the Baron de
Charette agreed with them. He laid
siege to Miss Folks heart, won her
and brought her home to Paris as his
bride.
One son was born, Antoine. From
his mother the young man inherits
splendid plantations in Tennessee and
from his paternal side some of the
greatest art treasures in France.
Among them is a portrait of Queen
Marie Antoinette by Nine Viego le
Brun, given by the queen to the
Duchess de Choiseul, now coming in
direct succession to the young baron,
fourth in line.
At Present In America.
Young Antoine is at present here in
the United States attending to the
properties of his mother and the in
terests in the estate, because of the
sudden death of his uncle, Van Leer
Polk, who dropped dead a few days
ago in Memphis. He had been United
States consul-general at Bombay, I'M

had been appointed by President
Roosevelt as one of five delegates to

not, on account of his official duties,

had decided to speak at a few places,

the trouble of having the details of

Insurance Profits.

st. Paul. According to compila-
tions made from the returns of fire
insurance companies to the state in
surance commissioner, the year 1907
was profitable 80 far as Minnesota
business was concerned.
In the entire state the premiums
for all kinds of fire insurance COM
panies amounted to $7,113, $50; the
losses only 90, 1o5, 1888. For 1905, the
premiums for the state were So, 579,-
451, and the losses $3,63S, 1888. In
other words, during 1907, the fire in
surance premiums were nearly $780,
600 greater and the losses less than
the year before.
In Minneapolis the premiums were
81, 8S9, 213, and the losses but $685., 224.
The city of Minneapolis alone paid
fire insurance companies during the
one year $1,000, 900 more than the
companies returned in the adjust
ment of losses. This tremendous pro-
fit in Minneapolis was also true the
year before, when the premiums were
but little less, $1,627 1856, to losses Of
$472, 416.

the cost of doing business in the

welcomed her in every capital in Eu-

if she were princess-but then
Gladys Deacon was to the manner
born. She was at home in Mayfair
as she was in Inter den Linden. In
winter she became the bright, partic-
ular star along the Riviera and in
Italy thoroughly cosmopolitan grew the
beautiful American girl, who spoke
with strong French accent and
frankly admitted that she hardly
knew anything about the United
States, though she was American to
the core.
Europe found everything to admire
in the beautiful girl fresh from the
convent.
Gladys Deacon is the ideal Anglo
Saxon type in face and coloring Her
mass of hair is the palest faxen, and
it waves naturally. Her eyes are large,
rather long than round, and deep vio-
let blue. Her eyebrows are almost
black, very narrow and exquisitely
arched. Her eyelashes are black as
well and long and sweeping.
Miss Deacon's face is almost classic
in it's oval, the brow slightly broader
and higher than the standard of the
Greeks, denoting to some extent the
intellectually Of this foreign-born
American girl. Her wit and vivacity
would have made her woman of note
even without the charming loneliness
with which nature has so lavishly en-
dowed her.
Her skin is fair, very white and al
most transparent. There is almost no
coloring in her cheeks. yet she bushes
beautifully when she is interested. But
her lips are of that brilliant red which
no cosmetic save perfect health can
give. Her nose is pure Greek; her
mouth a Cupid's bow. The chin is
strong and firm. Her teeth are
dazzling.
She speaks French, German and
Italian with equal fluency, and her
Partisan accent when she speaks Eng
lish is altogether charming. Her
taste in dress is undeniable; she al
ways appears in the masterpieces of
the French modistes. She is perfect
dancer, rafting good hand at bridge
and she can play billiards with the
hest of the men
