The housekeeper's individual re-
sponsibility is in her home, being
sure that her home and the condi-
tons which affect it are under her
supervision and control. When
woman has proved herself capable
there, then and then only is she ca
pabie of judging food as purchased
at the butchers, bakers or. grocer's.
She must read labels on all canned
and bottled goods and make sure
that the food she purchases is pure

not cover all pure foods, but is, really
good beginning and covers almost
all advertised brands of foods which

Do you like romance? Then you
can't fail to be interested in the fam
lily history of two blue b1ooded young
persons whose engagement was an
nounced a few days ago, and who will
be welded in splendor in Paris next
month. The story of how their an
cestors rose in the world and came
to be very important reads like a
fairy story. Oh, yes! We had al
most forgotten to mention that the
young folks here referred to are Miss
Helen Mcdonald Stallo of Cincinnati
and Prince Michel Anne Charles
Joachim Napoleon Bonaparte Murat
of Paris.
Michel is a real prince and has
scads of money and lives in a palace
and is a social hero. But his fore
father, who lived back in the great
Napo1eon's time wasn't half so we'll

According to all the histories, the
first Prince Murat took an active part
in the first revolution that overthrow
monarchy in France. He was one of
the people, being the son of a down.
trodden innkeeper. His first job was
that of stable boy. He ran away from
home and joined the army. Dis
charged as a soldier, he became a
Diapers assistant and made speeches
in his native village against social
caste and for the equity of all men.
Later, he enlisted again and became
a captain. He gained the attention of
Napoleon, for he was the most expert

fall. 1t went into the same basket
that carried the heads of some of
Napoleon's other friends. But he left
to the world a heroic name and a
long line of princes and princesses.
Now as to the ancestry of Miss
Stallo, proud heireSS of Cincinnati.
Her grandfather was the late Alex
ander Mcdonald, one of the dukes of
Standard Oil. He started life as a
teamster in Cincinnati. While he
dreamed of a 50 raise the Empress
Eugene, aunt Of the present Prince
Michel was the reigning queen of
France. 1t is hardly likely that he
ever saw visions of a granddaughter
of his marrying into that blue blood
ed family.
But fortune smiled on Mcdonald
and when he died not long ago he left
a couple of millions or so, one-half of
which goes to Miss Stallo.
1t is said the present match be-
tween Prince Michel and Miss Stallo
is a pure love affair. They met three
months ago at a dinner given by Miss
Stuyvesant in Paris. The prince fell
madly in love and soon asked, and
was promised, the hand of Miss
Stallo.
