Grand Duke Nicholas. who is Civ
ing such a good account of himself as
commander in chief of the Russian
armies in the war with Germany and
Austria. is a second cousin OF the EN-
peror of Russia. He was corn in St
Petersburg fifty-eight years ago ano
since his youth has been conspicuous
in the Russian army. He presents a
striking contrast in every respect to
his father, who was a notorious profit
gate. The present grand duke is uni
versally respected. In 1907 he was
married to Princess Anastasia of Mon
tenegro.
The grand duke has often been
employed on special missions by EN-
peror Nicholas. who has always re.
posed the utmost confidence In him.
AS in the case of nearly every
prominent member of the Russian i'm.

been the victim of several attempts
at assassination.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

the mother of growing children is how
the little ones should be dressed for
school and how to keep them supplied
with fresh garments as their little legs
spring upward in Il way most discon-
certing to one who would economize in
frocks
This little frock is good pattern
and, if made of durab BILE material. it
should have tuck or two above the
hem. This tuck could be let down in
due time and the crease of the stitch
ing covered with a narrow braid.
The little frock is a practical gar
ment, for it is sleeveless and so per-
mits frequent changes of dainty white
suimpes and consequent lessening of
the washing of the dress if it be of
wool or pongee. both of which are used
for frocks for children.
OF course, the wash frock is the best
for children. 1t is sanitary and in
expensive Its cost lies in the number
of times it must be tubbed. For this
reason a great many mothers make up

The Hunt for Sticky Toes. the
Tree Toad.

All through the Green Forest the
hunt for Sticky Toes the Tree Toad
went on. II was there. he had last been
seen, and so it was there that his
nelghbors and one-time friends of the
Green Meadows and Green Forest and
oid orchard looked for him. Sharp
eyes looked through every tree. peeped
in every hole. and under every place
where 1t seemed that he might pos
sibly be hiding. The days were hot
and the nights were only d little less
so. Tempers were sorely tried and
there were many quarrels among the
little people of the Green Meadows and
| the Green Forest, but most of all their
anger burned against Sticky Toes be-
cause they believed that he could cali
rain and wouldn't.
And all the time Sticky Toes sat in
plain sight in the Old Orchard and
only moved when the dusk came and
there were fewer eyes to see him
And even then he moved only when
he was sure that no one was near to
see him catch his meals. When they
could not find him in the Green For

birds who make their home there.

A Cup of Coffee.

\ cup of good coffee is delicious
as it is rare An experienced coffee
man claims this is due largely TO
wrong methods in making coffee. He
says that a poor grade of coffee well
made is Infinitely superior 10 good
coffee poorly made, and that there are
more differences in the quality of the
methods of brewing than there are in
the qualities of coffee.
Those ,housenepers who are willing
to experiment have found this to be
true, but there are many who are SO
set in their WAYS that they refuse TO
adopt any method but their own and
their mothers before them This may
he good one. and again there may be
an infinitely better one. both from a
wholesome and an economic stand
point For instance, the use of eggs,
which many use to settle coffee. is an
entirely unnecessary expense. The eff

which makes them sink to the bottom.

merits of coarsely ground and pulver-

vestigations the latter is found to be

coarsely ground coffee boiled brings

less is needed. But that is a mistaken
theory Boiling coffee is spelling cof-
fee. AS coffee is boiled ii changes in
color from the rich brown il should
be to a muddy brown, due to the alb

The method of covering the coffee

ways.

NEW York; August EFF foxes

them did not stay there to have spared
US the sight of their bodies sluns about

have taken up this fashion during a

their critics or admirers can explain
So fashionable did foxes become after
the first of June that women showed
no moderation in using them. 1t is

things should be prohibited. 1t Is

It's Never Arrived.
There was a summer in Paris nos

not reach America, /or if it did. it was
quickly squelched. The white ones
are bad enough, but the red ones.
the French women helped the mat
