The Rainy Day Girl.

She Is extra sunny, as II to shame
the gloomy day.
She comes down to breakfast with
smile and soon her sunshine lifts
the family downcastness.
What though her pet plan for the
day is shattered. that is no reason
for her to shatter the happiness of
everyone within hearing or sight.
IL she cannot go out she keeps
herself busy indoors and enjoys to
the full the unexpected catching-up
time.
But she goes out II she can, for
the real rainy day girl revels In being
In the midst Of downpour.
She loves a rainy day, but even II
she didn't she would pretend to Just

The rainy-day girl may not know
it-indeed. usually she has not the

as a whole storefull Of tonics and a
sunbath thrown In to every depress-
ed man or woman she meets on n

does not invariably hold good; but

Household Suggestions,

To prevent those awful holes In
the heels OF stockings, try pasting a
piece OF velvet around the heel of
the boot. This has been tried with
great success.
To freshen and brighten old faded
carpets brush them to remove dust,
dip broom in pail of hot water to
which has been added a little tur-
pentine. Brush vigorously.
When anything needs overcasting,
like towels. which are fringed, in
stead Of doing it by Land take it on
machine and stitch just little above
the fringe and 1t will wear much
longer.
Boiling water for drinking pur-
poses can be greatly improved by
beating rapidly. Do this with an
egg-beater just before using. This
takes away the peculiar lifeless
taste.

Still Delights in Dress Even IL She

The greatest appeal that Queen
Alexandra makes to her immediate

is the appeal OF perfect womanliness.

oOundless sympathy.
An American who was summoned
to a private audience at the palace
said that the thing which most i'm
pressed him about the Queen was her
air of motherliness, a sort of gentle
protecting manner with also a tacit
appeal to chivalry In II.

Besides these characteristics her de-

those who take charge of the money

The love of what is beautiful in

ried daughter with more than the

land, soft fabrics. dainty laces and
rich furs all possess an artistic value
aside from their charm as adorn-
ments.
Queen Alexandra sometimes
spends half a morning choosing a
combination OF colors for a reception
gown and the jewels which shall
help to set 1t off. All of which
seems rather strange when one stops
to consider the extreme simplicity
of her life and dress in her girlhood

Diamonds and pearls are the
Queens favorite jewels, and her

But she never disappoints those
who admire her charms, for at each
public function she always appears
in gown which is a marvel of skill
and beauty, and always she preserves

youthful face though her children
