the Prince She Loved.


The story of Nine. Recamier and
her wondrous beauty in a familiar
one, for who has not seen and admired
the wonderful portrait of her which
David painted? Centuries have pass
ed since she lived, and she left no
wonderful works for posterity, but
like Helen of Troy, her name remains
today a synonym for perfect beauty.
1t isn't generally known, however,
that Nine. R.ecamier-apparent cold
to all the men who flocked about her
had one great temptation to yield to
love, which she resisted out of pity.
She had a reputation for being utter
ly Indifferent to all her admirers, and
touched she renowned love.
Nine. Recamier had been married
when only s. years of age to a veal
thy banker, who, however, was fully
three times as old. He had the great
est affection for her, but while she
admired and respected him there was
| no great love for him in her heart.
However, the match had been arrang-
ed by her parents, as was the custom
and dutifully she accepted the ar
| rangement.
But her wondrous beauty could not
Icing be concealed, and soon after her
marriage her salon became the centre
for the most brilliant men of her time,
| attracted there by her loneliness and
! her personal charm. There is moth
| ing to indicate that Nine. Recamier
was intellectually interesting but she
was kindly as well as beautiful, and
was constantly courted by men who
were intellectual.
But Nine Recamier stood apart
from the many other women whose
salons were the gathering places of
witty and attractive men. For she
was utterly cold to all approaches.
She had never been in love with her
husband, yet men of her own age could
make no impression on her heart.
Finally, however, Nine. Recamfer's
day of love came. Prince Augustus of
Prussia was introduced to her, fell
madly in love with her, and for the
first time in her life she felt recip-
rocal affection. He urged her to OBJ
tain divorce from her husband so
that she could marry him, and after
he had courted her tirelessly, she fin
ally agreed

new SKIRTS ARE
Narrower And
MUCH SHORTER

Despite the inconvenience of the
long range bombardment of Paris by
trick German guns the dressmakers
of the city of light worked on and on,
with the result that Mines. Margaret
Breaker and Margaret Cazalis, who
arrived at an Atlantic port yesterday
direct from the centre of fashion, had
something important to report. Skirts
for milady are to be higher than the
previous highest, narrower than any
one would ever imagine possible, and
colored either gray, brown, navy blue
or taupe.
All of this was decided and dwell
upon by the foremost dressmakers OF
the world before a French steamship
which reached America yesterday, had
prepared to bring the fashionable It'd
| ings to this country. Nine. Break
er, in addition, devoted herself to q
study of the new vogue in lingerie
and the very best effort she could
make yesterday by way of describing
all was to remark. ooh! Oh! Oh?
with rising inflextion on the last ex'
clamation. Wonderful beyond all pre-
vious art, it appears.
Nine Cazalis, who was accompan-
iet by her daughter, Clare, declared
Ehat Paris is tremendously cheereC
by what has occurred in the recent
fighting in France, and that the de-
cision to make the skirts more absent
than they have been is a reflection
of a cross between economy and ex
hilaration in the mode making cen
tres.

CHARLOTTE BOURETTE.

Poetess and lemonade seller, this
paradox was combined in the person
of Charlotte Bourette, who was born
in Paris in 1714. She became famous
not alone in Paris. but through France
under the name of La Muse limona-
diere, the Lemonade Muse. She was
married twice, her first husband hav-
ing been NJ. Cure. Madame Bour-
cite kept the Cafe Allemand, and
soon made a name for herself, not
alone with what she served, but more
especially for her productions IN
prose and verse. Her writings came
to the notice of kings and princes,
many of whom visited her and en-
couraged her in her literary work.
She also wrote comedy. 1.-THE
Coquet te Punished" which was pro-
duced in the Theatre Francois with
great success. Madame Bourette
died in Paris in 1884, at the age of 10.

SPLICE YARN

Knit yarn on sock until you have
through a large eyed needle, about
two inches in length. Insert needle in
yarn on ball half inch from end, work
through centre of yarn. about length
of needle, and draw 1t through, leav-
ing end loose. These loose ends keep
yarn from slipping. When taking
up stitches on last side of heel. the
first stitch is small like rest of sock,
and is often overlooked and leaves a
hole. Put needle in centre of this
and knit the inside loop of all the
others, and the rows will all be uni

Just at this time, however. NJ. Re-
camier's fortunes changed. The great
bank in which most of his property
was invested collapsed and overnight
he descended from great wealth to
poverty. His money, his reputation
were both gone, and now his wife, too,
wished to leave him.
But Nine. Recamier was not made
of such stuff. She was willing to
leave her husband when he was COM
Portable, but in his poverty and de-
spair she would not desert him. 1t
was true she didn't love him, but she
was loyal, remembering the days when
her elderly husband had been so law
ishly kind oIher, and she determin-
ed to sacrifice love, title, and to per.
form a nobler duty.
The prince went back disconsolate,
and the worlds greatest beauty lost
her first and only love for all time.

afternoons at 3 o'clock deal with the
most important food interests of the
day. These demonstrations to which
all are most cordially invited have
begun to deal with the sugar situa-
ton. Last week to relieve the use
of cane sugar our syrup for canning
small fruits was made by the follow
ing rule:
cups water. 1 cup sugar, cup
white corn syrup.
The ingredients boiled together 8
minutes made a syrup that was very
satisfactory and one that seemed to
bring out the delicate flavor of the
fruit in a better fashion than when
all sugar was used as has been our
custom previously.
Try making a vegetable and fruit
marmalade. The vegetable makes the
