She also affects a beauty spot" un-
der her left eye, and l have seen her
take a powder puff from her gold bag
and delicately dust the end of her nose
and the dmple on her chin, all of
which goes to prove that girls early
upbringing does not necessarily affect
her independence of thought when she
arrives at a period when she is inde-
pendent of home ties.
Before her marriage Princess Arthur,
like her younger sister, Princess Maud,
was brought up in the very strictest
fashion by the kings elder sister, the
the Duke of Fife.
Both these daughters of mother SO
near to the throne and a Scottish father
were kept in the background to a re-
markable extent. Their clothes were
simple to the point of dowdiness, even
after they had made their debut.
1t was said that they inherited to a
painful degree the nervous modesty of
their mother. who has always been
nicknamed since her childhood Her
Royal Shyness." on account of her gen.
uine fear Of public notice.
Evidently, however, her elder daugh-
ter Alexandra. now Princess Arthur of
Connaught. has outgrown this family
characteristic. She makes neat little
speeches at the opening of bazaars and
hospitals: she poses for any photog-
rapher who happens to intimate that he
would like to take a snapshot, while
saw her the other day acceptsa light for
her cigarette from a wounded Tommy,
and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
rather shocked expressions of the vari-
Gus somewhat dowdy though aristo-
cratic ladies who were watching her
royal highness' amazing condescension.
This iS the story Of the faroo,,c y,ncb
which was served at the California recep-
tion given at the Astor
The Punch Hotel in New York city
mi, at the biennial of the
WILL General Federation of
Woman's Clubs-a punch which aided the
California delegation very materially to
attain the popularity which brought about
the election of Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles
to the highest office in the federation
Other delegations had served ices and
teas of various sorts, and California want
ed to do something different. 1t was Mrs
Robert F. Garner Of San Bernardino who
came forward with the suggestion Of the
punch that was concocted and first served
by her at a reception at the San Diego
exposition last summer.
The recipe. as told to the Los Angeles
Examiner by Mrs. Garner, includes
these ingredients:
A foundation of rich lemonade, color
with delicate green. favor with spearmnt
to taste and use sprays of fresh mint
Serve as cold possible.
The story of the punch and Of its pop
ularity With the eastern women was told
Yesterday at the meeting of the district
federation in the Brack shops by Mrs
N. z. Wilson Of Ebell
"And when we ordered 1t Mrs Gar
ner had to go down and tell the chef at
the Astor hotel how to make it. And
now people from all over the country are
writing for that recipe" said Mrs. Wilson.

Some of the accomplishments of the
congress have been the organization of
mothers circles, fathers clubs. child
study classes and parent-teacher as
sociations in connection with public
and private schools, churches and other
institutions throughout the land with
the purpose of securing a better under
standing of the needs of children and
how to meet them; intelligent and eff

increasing the efficiency of both home
and school: use of schooIhouses as So
cial centers; establishment of public
Fairgrounds; extension of manual
training and domestic arts as a meas
ure of prevention of Juvenile crime; the
