She was born in Corsica in l1J0 where
she was noted for her beauty. Her FAM

that great men always derive their great

is clear that he took more of his great
characteristics from the Ramolinos than
from the Bonapartes Besides possessing
remarkable beauty she was possessed Of

lacking in the qualities of inordinate am

Napoleon for a time the greatest man of
his generation. When all her children

them the mother alone seemed to see
clearly that il counted for little and that
disaster was sure to follow. and when
that disaster did come the faithful moth

FRESHNESS.

Freshness is the keynote of attrac-
| ton in food in the summer. Fresh,
crisp lettuce. fresh. cool water. fresh.
clean table linen. fresh ripe fruit
fresh everything we must have at the
table. IL the meal Is to be truly ap-
petizing.
Fresh food and fresh table furnish
ings. therefore, become of utmost i'm
portance. Here are some ways in
which they may be insured.
Water in which the ice melts is not
good for the digestion Moreover. per.
fectly pure water may be contami-
mated by impure ice in this way. So
pour the water into caraffes. that are
scalded out each day. and put a stop
per of absorbent cotton or a cork in
each and put them on the Ice Or
else invert a cup over the mouth Of
the caraffe to keep out impurities.
These can be taken to the dining room
just as they are. and SO none OF tho
GOODNESS of the water will be lost BY
transferring II to other receptacles.
Always wash lettuce as soon as 1t
comes to the house. and then wrap
1t in q wet. clean cloth. kept especial
ly for the purpose. Lay il on the Ice.
1t will be crisp in an hour. and will
stay crisp for twenty-four hours.
To keep the salt on the table fresh
and dry in summer weather. when the
fires are not lighted, keep the salt
shaker or cellar under an inver,so
glass or cup when it is not in use
II the salt is always protected in this
way when II is not on the table n
cannot grow damp and caked.
When spot shows on the table
cloth before the whole cloth needs
changing. spread the cloth ON the
ironing board with an old towel fold
ed under the spot Then clean the spot
with soap and water. or water alone.
rinse 1t, and remove the towel Iron
II dry. Be careful to get out all the
spot and all the soap. otherwise the
iron may scorch 1t.
Never serve anything but firm. fresh
fruit. If when you buy a basket of
peaches. or other fruit, you find that
they are all quite ripe, and will be
soft in q few days. choose some for
the table and can the rest Immediate
ly. For remember that soft. overripe
fruit Is no better canned than raw.
Keep the refrigerator absolutely
clean. and keep 1t cool This insures

GREAT SAMPLE" SALE.
Denver Club Women Have Original
Plan for Making Money.

Plan for Making Money.
The spirit of the West seems to in
spire big things. and Denver club
women of Colorado have invited the
United States to contribute to their
sample sale" in October. They are
not asking charity but they are go
ing to give all sorts of firms in the
United States an opportunity to ex-
hibit their productions, and these will
then be sold for the benefit of the
philanthropic work in which the club
women are engaged
Last year a gymnasium and recrea-
ton room for working girls was built
in Denver. and the money that the
sale brings will be placed in a fund
the interest of which will be used for
this philanthropic and welfare work
When they ask for articles to be
given them for the sample sale, they
include everything from an automo-
bile to a patent clothes pin. They
realize that the exhibition will be ed
ucational, and, as far as the mer-
chants are concerned, of advertising
value. There will also be national
club women's booth, in which every
club in the country will be invited TO
make some sort Of characteristic dis
play.
The president Of the Colorado Fed
GRAFTON OF women's Clubs will give
any information in regard to the sam
