After all it's a consolation to the
untitled mother to know that a royal
baby is much like any other. The
Prince of Austria. son of King AL
fonsO and Queen Ena of Spain, is as
chubby and crotchety as the average
infant, and in Seville recently his
proud parents had most exciting
time inducing him to pose for photo
graph. The little prince was held
firmly in the arms of his nurse, who
bent backward to balance his weight
On one side stood the Queen, on the
other the King, with the photographer
in the middle clapping his hands, call
ing attention to the mythical bird

and going through all the other mo-
lions useful in attracting a baby's
eyes to the camera. They got the

Light hair is frightened by adding
a teaspoonful of salts of tartar and
the juice Of lemon to the shampoo
water. Frequent use of this is not
recommended, as it will in time make
the hair harsh.
If the skin is the least bit greasy,
never use any cream ON it, for this
will make matters worse instead Of
improving them. Apply this lotion to
the face once a day: Boracic acid, one
dram; distilled witch hazel two ounces :;
rosewater, two ounces.
For bruises, witch hazel applied and
wrapped over afflicted part is SOW
ereign remedy. To prevent discolora-
ton or congestion from bruises, apply
as hot water as can be borne for five
or ten minutes, renewing cloths as soon
as they become slightly cold.

How to Eat.

The prevalent idea that slow eating
is very favorable to digestion is large
ly fallacious. The important part is
not that we eat slowly or fast, but
that when we do eat we chew with
energy. Of course, where the haste is
due to some mental anxiety this may
injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow
eating begets habit of simply MUNICH
ing the food without really nasticating
it. Hence, hurried eating is bad, but
rapid mastication is advantageous. 1t
concentrates our energies on the act
in question and, hence, more thorough
ly accomplishes it. Moreover, energetic
chewing stimulates the secretion of
saliva in the most favorable manner.
These various points are so commonly
misunderstood, at least by the laity,
that they demand frequent attention.

VERA'S NOTE
~~~NNNNNNN

1t was short and comprehensive, and
the man to whom the note was adj
dressed, laughing grimly, read, re-read
and pondered it as though its writing
covered pages, and the small sheet with
those few words on it was state docu-
ment on which depended the fate of
empires.
In this progressive era of searchlight
and unwholesome curiosity, when ev-
eryone's comings and goings, doings
and intentions, are chronicled, it stood
to reason that no mystery could sur

figure in the pageantry of certain ex-
