had favored him in genuine court
fashion.
From that May evening the sailor
prince of Italy took new interest in
his American visit, which lasted
three weeks longer.
Later in the summer, when, ac-
cording to their usual custom, Mrs.
Elkins and her daughter passed six
weeks at Carlsbad, he joined their
party for a two day visit, and later
met them in Paris on the eve of
their return to America On the
last named occasion he is credited
with having made a formal offer of
his hand and title to Miss Elkins,
with the entire consent of the king
of Italy, if not with the appreciation
of that monarch.
The opposition to the match
which has since become so pro-
nounced is due to the Dowager
/ Queen ,Margaretta, who views with
alarm the breaking down of all ira
ditiOn by the marriage of prince
and commoner, and is still oath to
/ accept. the beautiful American as a
princess of Savoy. cesl..& -
| On his sudden arrival in America
last March the duke allowed no one
to doubt his wishes or intentions.
] He came as sutton for the hand of
Miss Elkins.
That no engagement was entered
into at that time was due to the
will of the lady who. even to the
present day, maintains that no en-
gagement exists. She does not say,
| however, that he has definitely de-
clined to become the Duchess de
AbruZzi, and the exalted sutton goes
quietly ahead making arrangements
! to marry her, with the same deter
mination with which he explored
the Arctic heights or the interior of
Africa.
In her way Miss Elkins is quite
| as unusual character as is the
| duke. From her cradle she has
done exactly as she pleased. She
is one of the crack horsewomen of
Washington and the south, having
won ribbons of every hue from
many horse shows.
She is the owner of five splendid
hunters which she keeps in con-
ditiOn for herself, and never allows
any one else to ride. She is dis
tinctly an outdoor beauty, tall and
| graceful, with fair complexion
tanned by sun and rain, for she
never carries an umbrella. She is
also a ball room belle, dancing and
talking we'll, always surrounded by
stiff legged gentlemen. Until the
coming of his grace of Abruzzi she
had never been known to show the
smallest favor to any of her scores
of admirers. She was quoted as
saying year ago she preferred the
duke to any man he had ever met.
/. She wished he were an American.

Physicians assert that an immense
amount of nerve force is expended in
every fit of bad temper; that when one
little part of the nervous system gets
wrong the face first records it; the eyes
begin losing their lustre of youth;
muscles become flabby, the skin fails
to contract accordingly. and the result
is understanding most dreaded
foe.
The average man is q mortal being
who prizes physical and menta COM
fort above the glory of possessing for
a wife a beautiful, attractive creature
with an uncomfortable temper, for he
knows that peace and content and a
bad temper walk not together.
The assertion from a woman that
she has a bad temper and is proud of
1t, has kept more than one man from
asking her to be his wife. The woman
who car control herself under the most
trying circumstances Is the woman who
holds the strongest power in the home;
and amiability is not only power, 1t is
mental progression, health and happi-
ness to the possessor thereof and to the
lucky ones who move in her orbit.

EXPERIMENT in HEARING.

~ ELECT someone whose hearing is
~ perfect, and tell him that you can
produce sounds in such a way
that he cannot tell from which direc-
ton they come. This he will deny, of
course, but you can prove what you
say. Blindfold the person, n let him
sit in a chair with his hands resting
on his knees. Hold two coins between
the thumb and the forefinger of your
right hand, and stand off a little to the
right of the blindfolded one. Put the
first niger of your left hand between
tho coins, and when you pull it out
suddenly the coins will snap together
with a sound. Move about swapping
the coins. letting him guess after each
snap the direction from which the
sound came, which he will do by point
ing. Having thus prepared him for the
real test. hold the coins in such a posi-
ton that they are equi-distant from
both of his ears. either before him, be-
hind him, or over his head. III ms
hearing is alike in both ears, he Will
not be able to distinguish between these
three positions, no matter how many
times you try him. He may guess by
accident, but by a few changes or rope
titions you will so confuse him that
he simply cannot tell. The reason Is
that il is generally hearing a sound
more on one side than the other that
bles us to tell from which direction
It comes, and when it comes from a
noint e~oui-distant from both ears, we
get all confused. A quick, bright ex-
nerimenter can make a good deal OF
fun out of his simple trick.

Goodness and Serenity
Are Great Aids to Beauty

Some women seem to think hat a
violent temper is a valuable asset; that
it helps them to make known their
individuality, and prevents people from
imposing on them. They are the ones
who are sadly mistaken. INDUCING in
a fit of bad temper shortens life. When
you tell an angry woman that each
time she loses control of her temper
she unhinges a moral brain cell and
weakens by several degrees her ability
for self-control, and at the same time
strengthens tremendously her chances
for an attack of nervou prostration,
you are wasting a lot of valuable
breath.
But when she is cool and serene and
at peace with all the world, If you can
convince her that each fit of temper
adds a year to her age by weakening
her mental force and by tracing crow
tracks about her yes n ugly lines
around her mouth, she will probably
think twice before again forgetting her.
self. Mo matter what she asserts to
the contrary, oma prizes youth and
beauty above other gifts.
