Princess Louise is honorary colonel

was confirmed last October and aban-

She has palace of her own and often

The German Princess is a pleasant.

be married soon, when her imperial
father has decided upon an alliance
that will serve to prop up the throne,
now SO sadly undermined by the Soc.

and archdukes have been mentioned
as possible husbands for Princess
Louise, but 1t is not believed that a
defnate choice has yet been made.
Despite her royal station, the Prin-
cess has been thoroughly educated in
housewifery. and, when she becomes
bride, will be well able to obey her
fathers precept for women to mind

Princess Louise affects the English

appears to have peculiar fascina.

Keeping Cheese.

'aSyelsh rarebits, cheese souffles and
other cheese dishes are convenient
for summer If cheese can be kept in
condition.
This is SO difficult that dealers re-
fuse to sell certain cheese during hot
weather, while others spoil SO quick
ly as to be unsafe to buy.
Where one lives within convenient
distance of store buy only enough
cheese for immediate use, any loss
Is thus up to the dealer.
If2liying In the country, it is neces-
Z sary to keep cheese on hand, though
large supplies should not be laid in. :
Cream and soft cheese in jars or
tin foil chould be kept in the refriger!
ator until just before using. AS the
odor Of the cheese quickly taints other
foods it should be kept in a tightly
covered glass or china bowl or jar.
A large preserving jar with screw
Nd will hold several smaller jars of
cheese.

there is the least green mold on it.

ot9them scrape 1T from the edges and
