Court Learns of Death.
The Hon. John Hubert Ward, who,
with his wife, had been at Dorchester
house continually since the ambassa-
doris condition became serious, noti-
fled the staff of the embassy when the
patient began to sink and when death
came he sent word to the king and
queen at Buckingham palace, the
queens mother, Alexandra, at Sand
bingham, and the officials at the court.
Almost immediately the king sent his
equery, Sir Harry Legge, to express
the coincidence of himself and the
queen.
Body to Come Home.
The body will be sent home and
probably will be inferred in Sleepy
Hollow, but the details will not be
decided upon until some communica-
ton is received from Ogden Reid il is
learned what action the British gov
eminent may desire to take.
There also will doubtless be me-
mortal service in one of the great
cathedrals in London, in addition to
services in some small chapel for
members of the family and the staff of
the embassy. This being Sunday,
nothing could be done, but if Mrs.
Reid has her way she will start for
home at the earliest possible moment.

When frying anything in deep fat
have the -four sitter full of -four

People who suffer from heat in
hands and feet will obtain relief by
putting inside their stockings and
gloves a small amount of very fine
oatmeal.
Marble washstands that have be-

with wet salt, and if this does not
remove the stains, then with salt and
lemon juice.
For lemon cake filling, beat one egg,
add cupful Of sugar and the juice
and rind of one lemon. Cook in an
enameled pan until rather thick.
When cool, spread.
For fried squash. take the small
green and yellow variety, peel and cut
into half-inch slices. Dip in eggs
and -four or crumbs and fry in plenty
of fat until brown.
