but chess bids fair never to loss its
popularity. Nowhere else is it SO popu-
lar as 1T is in the village Of Strobeck,
near Halberstadt, in Prussian Saxony.
Some time In the eleventh century
Count Gunnelin, held a prisoner In a
stone tower in the village, amused
himself by carving a set of chessmen
and teaching the game to his jailers.
The tower, which still stands, is known
as the Chess tower. The jailers taught
the game to their friends, who were so
pleased with it that they devoted all
their spare time to practice. This de-
light in chess continues to the present
In Strobeck. Every person plays. The
village hotel is called the Chess inn.
tournaments are held every year, and
prizes are given to the best players. If
young man goes to an adjoining vii
lage for wife who cannot play chess
he must pay fine. to be used toward
the expenses Of the next tournament.
This subtle ordinance has spread a
knowledge Of the game among the
young ladies Of all the surrounding vii
lagos.

members at luncheon, and each one
makes an effort to serve as many new
dishes as possible.
To be ideal such club should be a
neighborhood affair, so that if large
two of the members could entertain
together, thus making the task of serv-
Ing luncheon to so many less burden
some.
A club which does not enforce strict
rules limiting its menu to a certain
number of courses will be almost sure
to prove a failure, as there are few
women who can withstand the tempta-
ton to strive to Guido their sisters in
matters of his kind, and without such
limiting rules a club of this kind will
soon become burden. One such club
has an ironclad rule that salad and
dessert shall not be served at the same
meal
The charm of a club where new
dishes are. studied and cooking prob
lens discussed is its informality. The
women who belong to it come together
with a common end in view, that of
learning something. Besides this, there
is always the added value which
comes from meeting with other wo-
men and exchanging views and expert
ences, 1t keeps the busy housewife
from getting into a rut In her house
work, and it takes away little Of the
element of drudgery from the round of
household tasks. If two members en-
terrain together as many as ten may
belong to such a club, but if one host
esS entertainS alone the club should
not number more than six.
= If there isn't a luncheon club in
your neighborhOod, why not start one?
Why not manage to discover an enter
tanning aspect to the old tiresome ques-
ton of What shall we have to eat?"

Orchestral oversiqhts.

The snare drummer happened to
catch selection that called for the use
of half dozen or more instruments.
To make the shift from one to an
other he had to hustle In fashion that
nightly impressed persons sitting near.
When he had finished the lively opera
ton he was putting and blowing and
the perspiration was coming out in
streams. A man just outside the or
chestra rail leaned forward and, point
ing to the score, remarked:
'That was good work, old man, but
you missed one place."

surprise. "Why, 1 thought 1 played

First Woman Rhodes Scholar.

The first woman Rhodes scholar has
arrived in London in connection with
the scheme for founding scholarships
for women on the lines Of the schol-
arships for men founded by Cecil
Rhodes
The scheme was formulated In 1905
by Nine. Thayer, then chairman Of the
education committee Of the Society of
American Women In London, who is
devoting her life to carrying out it's
development
Miss Clara Howard, the scholar in
question, who was entered for a year
of postgraduate study at Girton, is
from Columbia university, and her
scholarship was raised by the Society
Of American Women In London, the
nucleus being subscribed by the edu-
cation committee during Nine. Thay-
er's Craftsmanship.
Miss Howard arrives In America
with brilliant record. Theswoman
Rhodes scholars will in future be
chosen by competitive examinations.
There was hardly time for this, how
ever, in this case, and thus Miss How
ard was chosen on the recommended
ton of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, the wife
of the American ambassador in Lon
don, and of DIR. Nicholas Murray But
Ter, president of Columbia university.

Cleaning the Sewing Machine.

Women who do not thoroughly un-
derstand the sewing machine often
blame the manufacturer when the
fault of stiff running can be traced to
not keeping the machine clean.
Most persons think that liberal doses
of oil are all that is necessary. Too
much oiling is injurious, and oil
where there has not been careful dust
ing is worse than none at all.
1t is not enough to give a surface
busting. The cracks and crevices
must be kept clean. This cannot be
done with cloth. Instead use a
coarse silk thread to draw back and
forth through cracks to get out fine
dirt that cannot otherwise be re-
moved.
The work of cleaning a machine is
lessened if a small bellows is kept in
one of the drawers and the fine lint.
threads and Rawlings are blown out of
the crevices. This should be done
every day that the machine is in use.
Care should also be taken that pins
and needles do not slip into the shut
tie part of the machine, as often they
clog it and the cause cannot be dis
covered for some time.
1t is a mistake to use cheap oil, as
1t cakes and makes the parts sticky.
Never let the machine stand uncov-
cred when not In use and guard care
fully from dampness.
Rubbing the running strap occasion
ally with a little vaseline or oil will
make the leather wear longer.

The Luncheon Club.

Why not have a luncheon club? 1t
is not an especially new idea, but it's
a good one, and the wonder is that
there are not more of them in exist

con club is obviously enough the serv-
ing of luncheon. This may be with a
purely social end in view, but it isn't
half so entertaining this way as when
certain educational motive is includ-
ed in the reasons for the clubs exist

pose Of trying new dishes and expert
menting in cookery it is not only more
fun, but decidedly more instructive as
well, and in such club the members
