Salary of $40 Month.
In Paris the post of servant is not an
easy one; this is, Of course, judging
the household to be one of ordinary
means, with one maid or two at the
very most. An average French fam
lily having an income between $4,000
and $4,000 francs year (Which IS
considered comfortable here) will en-
ploy one maid She is known as
bonnie a tout faire, maid of all work,
and the care of the entire household
falls to her Blanche Alder Van Blu
rem. writing in the Woman Beautiful,
saws she rises at about o'clock,
cleans the boots, brushes skirts and
coats and prepares the traditional
French breakfast of coffee and rolls.
She then takes the little ones to
school, as no children of good family
go out alone. Upon her return mad
anne perhaps has Strengthened the bed
rooms and is ready to go out to mar
ket with the maid. Sometimes the
bonnie does the buying alone, espe-
cially when she has been with the
family some time or has gained the
confidence of her mistress. When
luncheon is safely on it's way the mis-
tress keeps an eye on it's progress while
the bonnie goes for the children.
Luncheon is the first important meal
in the French home and consists OF
an egg or meat dish, salad, a vege-
table and dessert of cheese or fruit,
always ending with coffee. If the
children are not allowed to drink this
they are given canard (dHck), which
is lump of sugar dipped in coffee
In the afternoon, when all is quiet,

To Keep Butter Cool.

Where one has no Ice box, set the
butter in a saucer or soup plate and
place in q larger dish. Invert coarse
flower pot over the butter and spread
over this a cloth wet in ice water or
strong salt water. Let the ends fall
into the liquid in the outer dish. AS
this evaporates, renew. Cloths wrung
out of strong solution of borax and
water, then wrapped around butter
rolls, will keep them fairly hard.

seems huge as It stands alone, you have only to go
hack few years in the story of agriculture to see
the miracle of steady increase that has been achieved

already seen how that figure doubled by 1909 Dur

If it is a commonplace that kings
sleep uneasy O. nights, it is no less
trite, though true, that the days of
some monarchs are not all cakes and
ale, even when they are young. The
new English king, while not young,
did not expect to be called to the
throne for many years to come, and
if report is true he dreaded particu-
larly the duties of kingship. He is
said to be shy and to have a dislike
for public appearances. And, like his
fellow monarch at Rome, he is never
SO interested as when immersed in
his collection of postage stamps. Then
there is young Alfonso of Spain He
is not much older than the average
college senior Had he his way he
would spend the time rushing about
the kingdom in his motor car or cruis-
ing about the coast in his yacht But
instead of being allowed to sweep
about Oh an aeroplane, he has to stay
down to the dull level of the earth
and puzzle his brain with intricacies
of state questions and court etiquette
Nor is Manuel Of Portugal any better
of. This young STRIPPING, about old
enough for a freshman, is passionate
ly fond OF the piano and falconry. But
instead of being free to play the noe
turnes of Chopin or to set his falcons
In flight, he is as much a prisoner
SIS they were when chained to his
wrist, and, try as he may, he cannot
budget which his ministers lay before

Peel and cut rhubarb in small pieces
Put into a preserving kettle or agate
saucepan. Cover generously with sugar
and add about one-half cup of water

account of the large amount of water
in rhubarb, only enough water need
be added to prevent it from burning.

There is now judicial warrant for
a man changing his name whenever
he desires, provided he has no Grim
inal intent. The New York Court of
Appeals cites in justification of it's
decision the we'll known fact that the
men known as Voltaire, Moliere,
Dante, Richelieu, Loyola, Erasmus and
Linnaus were not born to those
names, but assumed them at their
pleasure. When women change their
names-and they have judicial as we'll
as religious warrant for the custom
it is at their pleasure, as well as at
the pleasure of the man who gives
his name to them.
