Home Life in Holland.

Housekeeping in Holland means work
without end. In the larger cities. where
the customs Of other lands are adopted
to considerable extent home life is
conducted on less strictly Dutch lines.
But in the smaller towns and villages
the housewife Of today manages her home
in much the same manner as her grand
mother did.
The continual scrubbing, rubbing and
polishing is supposed to be the result OF
water supply. There Is another reason,
however, why floors. furniture and metal
utensils must be constantly cleansed and
polished. The climate being moist and
damp, the housekeeper must exert her
self in the effort to Danish rust and mold.
The open fireplaces, that are common in
stitutions and often welcome comforts in
the summer, also tend to Offset these two
bugbears Of the household.
The Hollanders have very simple
tastes in their foods. The housewife does
not 60 to market. The market comes to
her. The vegetable dealer with his cart
(often drawn by dogs) comes to the door.
He sells, not according to measure or
weight. but according to the number of
persons to be fed. Milk Is also brought in
little carts to the house, and fish is sold
alive and killed and cleaned at the door.
The Dutch are simple and hOmely
people. 1t is said the men are slow to
pursue outside interests because they are
made so comfortable at home. Their
whole life centers there. Prosperity is
displayed more in luxury OF comfort than
In ostentation. and this Is witnessed In
the homes after dinner in the evening.
when the family sit drinking tea. The
service will be very old and beautiful
silver and the tea of exceedingly good
quality. This is the wife's hour. She
brews and passes the tea while the others
read, work or talk, and in this delightful
atmosphere her word Of suggestion, criti-
cism or advice generally makes her de-
sires her husbands.

The Bridge Prize.

Selecting prizes for bridge or eucner
parties is by no means the task that
some hostesses seem inclined to think.
At very smart party last week. where
there were four tables to be provided, the
hostess gave each winner a small silk
workbag entirely equipped. The bags
were of brocade and contained a small
pair OF silver scissors, silver thimble,
half dozen or SO of spools of silk and
cotton and the other accessories.
The same idea might be carried out at
trif1ing expense by a girl who made the
bags herself, and substituted steel scis-
sors and thimble for silver.
At another bridge a set of a dozen
dinner place cards were the prizes. They
were hand-painted and very charming.
Small cut glass jugs with silver trim
mings were given by another hostess.
The fashion of giving a first, second
and consolation prize has entirely died
out, save at progressive cards. where
they then become necessary. But at all
games where the same persons remain
at the same table. one prize In now APP
portioned to each table, all being du-

FRENCH RESENT ATTACK
ON FOREIGN LEGION
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


PARIS. March %. 1911.
The accusations brought by German
writer's against Frances Foreign Legion
have touched a sore place in the ma
tional feelings, and almost any other
French institution might be attacked
without raising the storm of Indignation
that has been let loose by ISLANDERS on
the Foreign Legion.
This famous troop was formed in 1851,
and at first consisted of only 300 men,
1t SO covered itself with laurels however.
during the conquest of Algeria that it's
fame spread over the whole world, and
recruits flocked to the standard of France
in search Of adventure. and excitement.
Then Africa quoted down and less hard
lighting was to be done. The Foreign Le-
gion dwindled, until after the Franco
German war. when the Inhabitants Of
Alsace-Lorraine. forbidden by the treaty
Of Frankfort to serve in the French
army, again swelled its ranks to the ex-
tent of two regiments of four battalions
each. Since then 1t has steadily increas-
ed in numbers, and now there are five
battalions to each regiment. making a
total of $500 men. Out of this number
there are at present lib minors. IS being

under twenty-one. Out of the 1I3 only

time of enlistment were residing in
France and Italy. and not with their own
parents. Most of them were workmen
thrown out Of employment. and about a
dozen were from the annexed provinces,
who refused to undergo German army
service.
These figures show the wantonness of
the German statements that hundreds
Of letters from bereaved parents" con-
tinuafly reach the German authorities
complaining of being robbed of their
children. The Matin has sent special
correspondent to Africa, who declares
that he has seen scores of letters receiv-
ed by Col. Brulard every day from ex-
DICTIONARIES in Germany Indignantly pro-
testing against the calumnies that have
been published.

Hints to Housewives.

After the Easter holidays are over a
very sensible housekeeper Of my ac-
quaintance cleans and prepares a large
upstairs closet for the reception of the
perishable bric-a-brac Of which the house
boasts during the winter. The fine vases
and glass things are all taken and wash
ed with the greatest care. then they are
wrapped in tissue paper and placed on a
shelf. Delicate gilt frames are brushed
and cleaned in the same way, and the
large pieces of family plate are cleaned.
then lightly smeared with fresh lard and
put in their flannel bags, and when all Is
finished the closet is locked up until fall.
All the heavy draperies are taken down,
cleaned. aired and packed in trunk or
chest with all of the more elaborate sofa
pillows to rest until fall. Blankets are
washed or cleansed as the case may be
and the linen closet Is stocked with its
summer supply. Then the kitchen closets
and shelves are gone over and everything
that is worn or past usefulness is thrown
out.
Books and magazines are treated in the
old clothes. then the lady is ready for
the spring house cleaning. This she does
by rather a quick method also. She be-
gins at the cellar, from there she goes to
the attic and works down. Now. she
never disturbs her maid of all work, but
has q good, competent colored man who
works under her direction, and her house.
hold never realizes what is going on, for
nothing Is out Of its usual running order.
BY May she Is spick and span for the
summer. screens in and awning up. and
the family are fine and fit to take all the
fun the season throws In their way, not
realizing that they have actually passed
through the ordeal of house cleaning
without knowing even that it was going
on. With the linen covers on the furni-
ture and pillows, with the useless stun
put out of the way. where 1t does not
have to be busted. so much work is saved
the housekeeper and it all looks so fresh
and new in the fall that it pays in every
way.

Odd Dishes.

There are many odd dishes, the recipes
for which we come across in various
ways, that come in quite handy as
changes in the daily menu. One grows so
tired OF the regulation things that almost
any odd dish that Is novelty is well
come. It Is q rest to the housekeeper to
try these new dishes, for 1t has the spice
OF uncertainty as to just how it is going
to turn out, and the pleasure Of gratified
surprise II 1t is a success. Remember, the
cook gets just as tired of making the
same things week in and week out as the
family does Of seeing them come to the
table. So in reality variety is the spice
Of life. and we need all the spice We can
get. Do not be afraid to trust the odd
recipes, for they are all tried and true.

TWOPAR|S SCHOOLBOYS
FIGHT DESPERATE DUEL
Pistols and Swords Are Used,
and Elder of Two Youths
Receives Serious Wound.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

PARIS, March a, 1911.
Two schoolboys in the lysee, or public
school. Of Folk fought a desperate duel
with swords and pistols the other after
noon in the Pare de Pelissens, outside the
town. The cause of their quarrel was
foolish one. The elder of the two boys
was standing up in class reciting a les
son. and the younger boy shot little jave-
Inns OF paper into the seams of his coat
and in the back of his coat collar. The
elder boy knew that he was being made
to look ridiculous, but he could not re-
sent 1t in class. Immediately the class
was released, however, he rushed at his
tormentor and knocked him down. The
other, who was much the smaller of the
two, called his assailant coward and
challenged him to a duel
The challenge was accepted, and one
can picture the tremendous excitement
with which preparations We're made by
the classmates of the principals. A medi-
cal student friend of one of the boys,

boys went out to the park. Practically
the whole school went with them and
numbers of the townspeople who had got
wind OF the affair also were present so
That Wnen the two duellStS, whose joint
ages are thirty-ive, faced each other a
large and excited crowd had gathered
about them.
Boy Badly Hurt.
Pistols and swords had been obtained
through the DOCTOR 1t is possible that
he was careful in his choice OF the piss
tolls and ammunition, for an exchange of
bullets resulted in nothing more seri-
Gus than a little damage to the branches
Of one of the trees in the park. Then the
two fire eaters stripped and began to
fight with swords with all the vigor and
enthusiasm of two of the Three Mus
keteers." The fight was not very long
| one, and almost at the start of the en-
gagement the elder boy was wounded in
the forearm. He was wounded seriously,
too, and lost good deal of blood.
The doctor tied up the wound and the
crowd cheered Justify and congratulated
the two boys on their daring. The duel
lists fell on each others neck. embraced
and left the ground together smoking
cigarettes like real SrOwn-up duelista
Honor was satisfied.
The most extraordinary part of this
affair was that the school authorities ap-
peared to have had no knowledge of the
duel in time to prevent it.

II is not considered good form to give
expensive prizes save where the hostess
income is known to be on the same scale.
In other words, she is not expected to
give more than she can afford.
1t should go without saying that all
prizes are to be attractively done up in
white paper and tied with ribbon. They

None Like 1t
Served In Rome

Italian cooks are famed the world over
for certain style of spaghetti.
But never has Rome served such de-
licious spaghetti as our chefs have pre-
pared for you.
The dish as we make it contains II
ingredients Two years. have been spent
in learning how to combine them.
The wonder lies in the harmony OF
flavor. No other cooks in the world
produce anything like it.
We use in the making:
Durum wheat spaghetti.
Herkimer County full cream cheese.
Best creamery butter.
The same expensive tomato sauce
we use in Van Camps Pork and
Beans ,~
The recipe is secret, and no price
could buy it. But your grocer has the
dish complete, all ready-cooked for you.
1t costs YOU less than to make it your
self if the recipe were yours.
Just heat it or bake it, as YOU like it
best. There's nothing else to do.
When you serve it for dinner don't
say where you got it. Wait for the CON-
ments on the Jewel ola cook"
But be sure of this: No other spa
ghetti will ever appeal to those who
once taste this.
