By Her Charity

he implored her to have pity upon
him. Unclasping the royal mantle
from her shoulders she wrapped it
about the beggar and FASTENED on
to Wartburg. Before reaching the
castle she remembered that it was
against the rules of court etiquette
for her to appear at a banquet with
out the mantle which signified her
rank, so she retired quietly to her
room.
The guests, assembled in the ban
quoting hall, waited for the Land
gravine to appear. According to
custom, on state occasions, as the Of
fetal hostess, she should have been
ready to present the great golden
bowl in which each of the guests dip
ped their fingers before eating. But,
though the guests grew impatient and
her mother-in-law frowned, Elizabeth
failed to appear.
Where can she. be?" said Ludwig
to his mother.
Then the Seneso hal, who having al
SO fingered behind when the wedding
procession had left the church, had
witnessed Elizabeth's generosity to
the beggar, stepped forward and told
the story.

Ludwig laughed heartily when the
Senaschal had finished. 81 shall go
and fetch Elizabeth" he said.
He found his pious wife kneeling at
the little shrine in her chamber,
praying.

and Ludwig, the dislike of the Land
gravtne Sophia and of her daughter,
Agnes, was evident from the first.
For Elizabeth was very pious and de-
vout from her earliest years, and as
she grew older devoted every moment
that could be snatched from court
life to ministering to the needs of the
poor. Now the Landgravine strong
disapproved of her daughter-in-law's
humble spirit, and tried to persuade
her son to choose a bride who was
less religious. But Ludwig returned
this answer:
II love Elizabeth. She is more to
me than anything else in the world
Then he fastened the preparations
for his marriage with Elizabeth,
knowing that once welded to him
she would be freed from the perse-
cution of his mother and sister.
Protected by the dignity of her new
station, the Landgravine Elizabeth
was allowed to visit her poor as much
as she liked, while her mother-in-Iaw
grumbled that she could be so far
forgetful of her high position.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Instead of washing lard pals, or
any dish which has contained short
ening, use flour. A cupful for a good
sized pail, well rubbed in will remove
every particle of grease. This flour,
kept in a jar or small pail is fine for
all kinds of pastry, and nothing Is
lost.
Nearly all floors are too cold in
winter to permit baby to sit or creep
on them. Procure a light, smooth
wooden box, about 80 inches square
is a. good enough size and just high
enough to come up under the babys
arms. Get four large casters for the
bottom. Make a good, thick flannel
covered pad for bottom of box. Paint
outside if desired. Now fasten a stout
cord along or across the room where
convenient Master baby will quickly
learn to pilot himself and box back
and forth by means of this cord and
will entertain himself for hours. Keep
pad hanging near the range when not
in use.
Place layer of flour in cardboard
box, lay knives and forks upon it and
cover them with a thick coating Of
flour. This will keep them bright for
long time.
Pickles will never become mouldy
if a tiny bag of mustard is placed in
the top of the jar in which they are
kept.
If ink is spilled on a hardwood floor
take a. piece of rather fine sand paper
and go over the ink stain until the
floor varnish has been removed. Now
pour on strong ammonia, then wash
it with potash solution and the stain
will disappear.

BUY GAY CLOTHES.

A story that bears directly on the
question of dress in war times, is
told by a woman prominent in New
York society. Her husband is an Of
ficer at Camp Upton, and recently
entertained some of his brother Of
ficers at the theatre. Looking down
at the orchestra from their box, said
woman, one of the officers remarked
on the number of women dressed in
black and white.
IF they only knew how deadly
sick We were of looking at rows of
human beings dressed in the same
color they would go out and buy the
gayest clothes they could find to
cheer us up" said he.
"And So" concluded the woman
who told the story. 81 am going to
follow his advice for my spring
clothes" In proof of which she
wore a beige dress and a smart hat

Johnston Forbes Robertson, actor, at

trouble with the vast and powerful

FLOWER PICTURES.

Three of the essentials in picture
making are unity, balance and
rhythm. Unity is simply oneness
the duality of making the picture give
Just one impression. In our flower
pictures it is comparatively easy to
secure unity by simply keeping to one
flower or a combination of two that
harmonic. A jar of goldenrod is
likely to give a sense of oneness be-
cause of the singleness of form and
color and even a jar of goldenrod and
asters give a similar impression be-
cause these two flowers are so closely
associated in our summer landscapes.

NEW COLORS IN
LINGERIE SHOWN

Once, you know. a Spanish princess
vowed not to change her lingerie until
q certain war was won, and as that
took many months the result was that
fashionable Spanish ladies of the time,
who looked to this princess for lead
ership in the matter of dress, soon
came to adopt a yellowish-brown sort
of linen for their kerchiefs, fuckers,
wimpIes and other similar apparel.
The princess name was Isabella, and
this fashionable shade was known as
Isabella color, and one occasionally
hears this name applied in Paris even.
to this day to a sort of yellowish
brown that really does look like linen
that had been dedicated to laundry
less existence. Although we had
every shade of lingerie, we have not
yet had this color. The next thing
to it, and something that surely
wouldn't appeal to all womankind. is
the new lingerie of nickel-gray that
has been put on the. shelves of one or
two of the exclusive womens shops.
There n a complete set of this gray
underwear in crepe de chine. 1t is
made with extreme simplicity, the only
decoration being roses and festoons
artfully devised out Of gray crepe.

CLARA BARTON.

The American Red Cross, that
great humanitarian organization, is
largely the creation OF woman,
Clara Barton, who died five years
ago this month in Washington, leav-
ing behind her as a monument an or
ganization which is now carrying
succor and relief to hundreds of thou
sands. Clara Barton was native of
Massachusetts, and in her girlhood
was a teacher in New Jersey, after
which she became a clerk in the pat
ent office at Washington. When the
Civil War broke out she voluntarily
undertook the task of searching for
missing soldiers. and caring for the
wounded in the field and in hospitals.
In the Franco-Prussian war she took
part in international Red Cross work
in Paris, and upon her return began
agitating for the formation of an
American Red Cross. In 1882 she in
duced the United States government
to adopt the Geneva treaty, and be-
came the first president of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.

and ladies to Hungary to obtain the
hand of the Princess Elizabeth for his
son, Ludwig. Elizabeth's parents con-
scented to the betrothal, and the little
princess was taken to Thuringia that
she might be brought up in the castle
of Wartburg, with Prince Ludwig,
her future husband.
Elizabeth found both happiness and
misery in her new home. While she
