children.
They bave a natural craving for II

Some physicians say the craving is not
an abnormal one during the period Of

children than to grown people.
On the other hand, not few diseases
have been traced to the excessive con-
sumption OF candy. and the careful and
solicitous mother will not only limit the
candy indulgence among her children.

Sailing Up Many Rivers

II o JUDGE by the evidence on my
desk almost every other person
IN Washington must have en-
ioyed a sail on one or more not
able rivers yesterday. Anyway several
scores Of communications have reached
me and every one has something 20 say
OF the interesting scenes they have wit
messed as they whirled along on swiftly
moving tides.
At the same time some were suff-
GENTLY observant to challenge Mrs. Wal
lace's metho6 of spelling Nos II and
D. I've loCKed up authorities and I
find that Mrs. Wallace's spelling OF the
names of the two rivers in question
does not exactly coincide with the more
accepted methods. However, Mrs. Wal
lace may have good and sufficient argu-
ments when she is heard from. for. YOU
know. sometimes rUvers and places and
persons change their names as the days
go by.
From what I have seen Of the lists, I
hasten TO say that most Of the puz-

Daily Fashion Talk.
BY FRANCES CARROLL.

a SIMPLE design for a small boy's
suit is much appreciated by busy
women, who, in addition to looking af-
ter her household, In many cases has
to evolve the ,children's garments by her
own hand.
The suit pictured IS practical and not
devoid Of style. All the year around the
Riddles may wear cotton outfits and, II
preferred, galatea or chambray may
take the place Of serge or any Of the
lightweight wooden which nowadays
prove alluring TO the mother OF children
ranging from two to six years.
The attractive design has a Russian
coat fastened down one side and finished
with a belt, and trousers which come
just a trifie below the upper garment.

- markable appearance Of youth.
She has lived nearly sixty-six years,
experienced much sorrow and suffering,
and taken active part in an exacting
public life. yet she looks younger than
her youngest daughter, and is besides
a radiantly beautiful woman. OF course
everybody wonders how she accom-
plishes It: how she preserves that bloom
and grace and charm, that brightness
Of eye and roundnes5 Of throat and
cheek. It is not a matter Of chance,
however, but the result Of careful study
and attention by which a system Of
habits have been established that are
now instructive. so that the beautiful
Viking princess has taken on an i'm
perishable habit Of youth: she win never
grow old. This royal lady has always
believed IL to be part Of her duty to-
ward the people OF her adopted land
TO keep her beauty and grace intact
for them, for, ever since she landed
at Gravesend that early March day in
1859, exquisiteIy lovely in lilac silk and
radiant in her girlhood and rare beauty,
the english people have wOrshiped her
ulvaveringly. Never a hint Of dislike,
OF a word Of criticism has ever been
heard in regard TO her from her adopted
people. For she proved as sweet as
she was beautiful.
To begin with. TIE Queen has never
permitted herself the evil luxury or
anger. or any show OF bad temper.
Nothing will so quickly age a person as
anger, nothing so quickly dissipate the
look OF youth as vexation and irritation.
and the Queen has never been known
to lose her temper, consequently the
wicked wrinkles that tell the tale Of
wasted forces arc not written upon the
smooth skin. Then this wise royal lady
realizes the wisdom Of studying how
