the daughter Of the receiver general OF
finances Of France and through her faith

She early displayed signs Of rare liter

several Of the leading puhlicat atiops of
France. Family reverses and nisfor-

he knew Of her inability to continue her
work. He wrote, not revealing his iden-

and Guizot insisted till finally she con-

the young man was entirely satisfactory
and 1t was when Charlotte wished to
thank him for his kindness that she
first met him. A friendship Immediately
sprang up between the two and although
Charlotte was fourteen years older than
Francois they decided to marry. The

a historian in part to the encouragement
and inspiration OF his wife.

MAKE YOUR OWN KERCH1EFs.

If you have the time 1t is a wise and
dainty thing to make your own handker-
chiefs. If you wish to be really smart,
remember the handkerchiefs used by the
ultra-fashionabIe, at least in the morn
ings and afternoons, are embroidered or
initiated in color
Usually the initial matches a color in
the frock or the hat or some other &C
cessory, II the principal part Of the COS
tune is white. 1t is wen to have sew
eral handkerchiefs embroidered in green,
it being a natural color, so that they
can be carried with those frocks for
which you have no matching color.
Frequently white handkerchiefs have
border hens in color and an initial or
monogram Of the hem color. 1t is a
pretty custom to embroider about thu
monogram or initial a little wreath or
medallion frame
A dainty little apron for a child is
made of white pique. 1t wears and laun-
ders u look well Make it with square
neck % slip over the head.
A pretty finish is a buttonhole seal
Iop around the neck, sleeves and at the
bottom. If a tiny pocket is added
pleases the little miss and saves many
a handkerchief from being lost.
Another style is made long, buttons
down the back is cut V-shape back and
front, trimmed all around with a little
rufne, and ties with a big ruffied string

ROMANCE IN VARSITY TOWNS
Seems to Be Part OF the Atmosphere,
at Least In English centers
Of Learning.

The romantic story Of the adoption
of an innkeeper's daughter by a rich
banker, recently unfolded in the law
courts, reminds one that Oxford and
Cambridge are the birthplaces OF ro-
nance; for hearts are always young In
the university cities.
Many happy marriages can be
traced to- that long standing institu-
ton, the Sunday afternoon tea In North
oxford and the residential suburbs OF
Cambridge, but the greater romances
find their origin in dances at rectory
barns or even In the country inns.
q popular hostess at one of the i'm
portant embassies today lived less
than ten years ago at a humble inn
within three miles from one Of the
ancient English universities. Her
husband fell In love with her when
she was yet at school He made no
secret of his affection, but actually
entertained the whole of her school
fellows to pleasure excursions, mis-
tresses and masters sharing in the
fun.
A similar romance which happened
recently at the sister university would
create sensation in society circles
and in the family of one of our mer-
chant princes IL the facts were known.
The eligible young man. says the Eve
ming Standard. whose return from dis
tant parts OF the empire society hos
tesses were ksenly awaiting, forsook

ago. and is now enjoying domestic
bliss with the daughter Of a local
