Famous Dinner SerUice
Recovered From Palace

Josiah Wedgwood was commissioned
by Catherine the Great Of Russia TO
make for her a dinner service. and to
paint In black enamel upon every piece
a different view Of the palaces. seats
Of the nobility, and other remarkable
places in the British Kingdom"
Ehe views numbered some 1000, and
thu service consisted OF I,2OO pieces.
The great potter received Just a little
over $1,000 for his work, but he got
little prof from #. for the production
Of the service cost him very nearly as
much as the sum.
One man painted the whole 300 OF
them. and received 25f pence or 3
pence for each.
For a long time the service was lost
to sight, but recently 500 pieces have
been recovered from the pantries Of the
Imperial Palace Of Peterhof and are
now IN show cases. BY special imperial

Exercise Is Necessary
For Children S Health

Sufficient physical exercise and re-
creation are frequently denied chill
dren, both are necessary for their
health and normal growth
The amount OF brain labor i'm
posed upon school children and the
daily home work to be accomplished
make Il Imperative that an hour or
two relaxation should follow the at
ternoon school session.
Outdoor exercise is the ideal way to
rest tired brains and stretch aching
muscles from hours Of sitting, and
should be INDUCED IN every day with
the weather permitting.
A child should be encouraged to play
games and take forms Of exercise, 50
that the muscles will be well trained
and the development equal.
Unless a child shows indisposition.
II should not be kept at home on ac-
count Of the weather, unless the
school IS too far away. as is often the
case IN the suburbs and country.
Many delicate children owe their
condition solely TO an Over-anXious
mother, who "houses" them from
coming in contact with all sorts OF
weather, which is one OF the best ways
OF hardening" a child.

er to her plans IS very often the hus-

heedlessly Indifferent to these set events

Men may pOOh-pooh the question that
this club discussed, but, all the same,
II embodies the kernel Of a serious
grievance in many a housekeeper's soul
although she may not speak Of It.
The Washington times., 1909-12-11

r T WILL strike some folks as humor-
Gus that woman's club in New
/ York discussed this question:
Which makes a woman nader:
TO have her husband stay downtown 70
dinner when he says he is coming home
or to have him come home wnen he
says he IS going to stay downtown TO
dlnner2
But the fact remains that the question
involves one Of the most vexatious ex-
periences OF the housewife, who pre-
sides over the average home. and must
do the marketing. supervise the cooking,
and turn to for the serving. Irritating
as these hUmors Of the husband are,
when she alone must bear them. It IS
only less cumulative In disorder and
dissatisfaction when she has but one
maid.
The keeping Of a servant largely de-
ponds upon the clocllwOrk regularity OF
her duties. She is as sensitive to any
disturbance Of the schedule which she
accepted when she was engaged as is
