had passed the half-century mark

kaiser's sister Charlotte. The kaiser
has thus far escaped attack Of a

The latest reports concerning the

that many princes have gone to MOO

her the admiration which her pictures

can hardly compensate for turning a

One or two asbestos mats should bc
kept in every kitchen to place under

their contents cooking too fast.
Have a shelf placed near the stove con-
