nut swaying its long leaves with ev-
cry breath OF air. make a scene to be
long remembered. After a night s rest
our party cross on the ferry to Palm
Beach and visit the Royal Ponciani
which is conceded to be the largest
hotel in U. S. It has 13 miles of cor
ridors and beautiful grounds surround
the building As none of our party
was ready to exchange for new quar-
tiers We strolled away and did not re-
gister. The bathing beach is u mile
away and seemed to be the mecca for
a great number that SUNDAY morn.
and as one watches the bathers, young
men and women, and some who are not
physically young go into the serf, they
can but think what resemblance we
bear each other when in the water.
Many would come out and drop on the
sand and partly covered with it rest
for another plunge.
After dinner our party enjoyed an
automobile ride along the ocean beach
north and south of the city where we
rode through groves of cocoanut palms
and saw beautiful specimens of the
royal palm whose trunk has the color
OF cement pillar and stopped with a
growth Of green that is as perpendi-
cIlar as it is possible to conceive of.
A few fine specimens Of the banyan
tree are found in that locality and re-
turning we came through the colored
settlement where there seemed to be
an unusual stir and we found that it
was caused by the stabbing of a
colored man by one of his race.
AS we ride along we overtake three
boys who have captured an alligator
about four feet long which they are
carrying on a rack. As we had
watched the river bank closely during
the trip and had not seen one it was
pleasing to all to be able to report on
our return that we had seen a live ali
gator. Tourists from the interior that
one meets report seeing many of them
in the central part Of Florida, but the
porpolse IS seen in the Indian river
more frequently than the alligator at
the present time.
The Constitution was at her dock
at 8 a. m. Monday and as we went
on board there was regret on the part
Of most Of us that we had the return
to make by boat, as we might have
gone to Miami by auto and returned
by train for about the same cost and
we would not have Travelled the same
route twice. The company returning
was some larger than when going down.
Two ladies who had been in Cuba two
months were of the party. Our boat
landed US at Provost dock Georgiana,
Tuesday at 400 all waving good bye
to the Capt and fellow tourist on the
Constitution.

CLOTHES SHOULD BE SIMPLY
 MADE

Mothers should plan their little girls clothes so that they are easy to put on and take off.
 Underwear and frocks should be ex- tremely simple, so that the child can dress herself in the morning. Mothers are generally quite busy getting breakfast, fixing lunches, etc, and if the child can dress herself it is a great time saver.
 When planning the underwear do not have too many buttons, because tiny fingers cannot manage without mothers help. Try little flannel boomers with elastic. To make these use white daisy cloth or outing fan neL Turn narrow hems at the knees and waistband, and run the elastic through these castings. They may be slipped on in jiffy and do away with buttons.
 A princess slip will be more conven- tent for a child than the petticoat and waist attached. In cold weather it is well to make slip of flannel and one of muslin. A delightfully."- simple mod el is made by folding the material in two and cutting the slip in one place. Cut round neck and rather large armhoIe and slope the material out ward toward the bottom. Finish the two side seems neatly, hem the neck and armholes with tiny hems. The hem of the flannel slip might be seal loped or finished with a bit of crochet lace while the muslin slip might show wee edge of lace.
 The shoulders are finished with a small button and a buttonhole. The slip goes on over the head and is but | how easy this little slip is to make and to launder as well as for a young ster to fasten.
 A practical school frock for the child of six is a one-piece model but toned in front with large buttons. Il might be developed in one of the new military shades of tan serge or gabar' dine and have brown buttons for trim. ming.
 Make the frock from a yoke witt two broad box plaits in black. Int front could be slightly shirred ant buttoned from the yoke to the hem
 A small turban that sets deep oI
 the head is generally becoming t children. Brown chinchilla makes {
 serviceable wool hat and is brett. with a band of beaver and a fur pon pom on top. With these practica
 clothes from bloomers to hat, the lit tie girl starting to kindergarten cal practically dress herself.

 Sire, only beg your leave to go on my way unmolested," she replied.
 ''Not yet, fair lady. I intend that Ilewellyn shall have Anglesea for his princedom-Anglesea and you"
 Eleanor de Montfort proudly an swered the King with flashing eyes:
 "Sire, if he has only Anglesea he shall not have me-"
 'rWhat, then, art so proud and grasping? Love you lands more than vour yellow-haired lord? Well, I'll give him an English barony, too"
 Keep they petty lordships," she an swered scornfully. He Is the rlgnI1uI King of Wales"
 .rWhy not let him decide for him self? I will send for him, saying you are here with me, and bid him sur render" replied the King.
 "You dare not send that message!" she cried.
 But in defiance to her command Ed ward sent herald to Llewellyn, say ing if he wanted his bride he must yield to England.
 He will send back words of bitter scorn, but shall welcome them. Bet ter he should think me disloyal than he ,hmiseIf, turn traitor to his coun- try" said Eleanor.
 ''He will come," calmly answered Edward. ''He is in love-" Days passed, and finally the herald returned with NLlewellyn's answer, which the King read aloud: ''The Lady Eleanor is De Montfort, and therefore, sent no such words as writ in her hearts blood to entreat me, would not bow to the yoke of England"
 Lady Eleanor smiled proudly, with out speaking.
 His love for you is small, cousin as I count love-" said the King.
 Would your queen love you if you fawned at the footstool of the French King? Would you kneel before the Frenchman for love of herr" she re- torted.
 NO, by my crown"
 ''No more will I have a towards love, but a kings! A kings whose peo- pie should be loved more than he loves me-" Edward looked at her g moment, his eyes drinking in the beau. ty of her face. Taking her hand he kissed it, saying:
 "You have the heart of a queen lady, and you shall be a queen. Youl king shall come to claim you, and gC to Wales in honor-I give my word
 Eleanor's face softened as sht thanked her cousin. She asked nc pledges. Keep troth" had been Ed. wards motto from his youth.

TRIUMPH SCORED
 BY WOMAN FARMER

"Once again." says Woman's Gen. tury, ''the adaptability and skill of women have confounded the critics those incredulous critics, the farmers. They admit that in the recent eff ciency tests at Maidstone (England) very high standard has been reached. In the milking competition more than one-fourth gained over 90 marks. Two women thatchers, who had only been at the work for five weeks, secured the highest possible rating. The competitions were ar ranged by the Kent Women's Agrfcul- tural committee. Mrs. F. Heron Maxwell, chairman of the organizing committee, said there were g 900 women registered as land workers in Kent, also 300,400 members of the 'fWomen's Land Army"

for law and love of the people he and his sons died martyrs to this cause. The Lady Elanor was forced to seek the protection of the French King.
 In the mean time, LleweIlyn had been declared King of Wales. Edward l., of England, however, was determin- ed to wrest this coveted realm from the hands of the ''yellow-headed prince"
 Edward made elaborate prepara- tions for attacking LIewellyn, But sud- denly gave orders for the work to cease. Summoning his councillors, he said:
 "Sirs, have a plan which will make Llewellyn bend his knee. A ship comes from France, bearing Lady Eleanor de Montfort, my ward, since all her kin are dead. The King of Wales shall come to terms if he would have his bride"
 So Eleanor was brought to Edward, who received her courteously, as a lady of royal blood.
 When she came before him he said
 Cousin. your wild prince is shut up in his forests. You and must bring him here. I will send for him, saying

Y AM invited to a house party" an nounced Peggy Carleton rushing

IT AM invited to house party, an- nounced Peggy Carleton rushing
 up to Madame, land I've nothing to wear in the morning. mean noth- ing besides sweaters and sport suits. One gets tired of these eternaIty, and I'd like something different, if you'll be good enough to design it for me-"
 Peggy is one of Madame's special favorites," so she kissed her and said:
 Don't look so worried, child You know by the time you are ready to pack your trunks there win be two, perhaps three, new froCks for you to tuck in at the last moment. How would you like a shirtwaist frock for a starter? Something real smart and girlish Ilade of heavy silk-say Jap anese crepe or Amphora and crepe Georgette ?"
 Peggy answered that she could tell better after she had seen the materials mentioned. So Madame sent up stairs for samples of the heavy silks.
 After discussing the merits of both weaves, the decision was made in fa- vor of .Amphora, which is a glorified pongee in soft tone of soldat blue.
 Nov I'll show you how I mean to use the materials said Madame, talk ing the heavy silk and holding it against the chiffon to make sure that they matched perfectly.
 Then she measured the length of Miss Carleton's skirt and cut five widths, pinning them together. After this she arranged the silk about the waist in pleats, but the effect was too bunchy.
 '"This will never dol You'n think the frock is going to be a mess, so I had better stop and draw it for you" We sat quiet as mice while Madame sketched. In a surprisingly short time she had made rough drawing of the shfrtwaist frock.
 Now listen, Peggy, and I'll tei1 you just what it is going to be like. l ''The front of the shirtwaist, which | is of crepe Georgette, is hand tucked to give the effect of a vestee, and a. line of tiny blue buttons extends from the base of the throat to the waist line. The Eton collar is edged with ] a marrow, pleated frill with picot edges. Turned back cuffs 70 corre- spond with the collar trim the bish- op sleeves, which are also hand-tuck- 1 ed on the outer side, to harmonize with the front of the blouse. A neck ribbon of narrow black grosgrain rib- l bon, with tasseled ends, complete the shirtwaist.
 ''The skirt of Amphora is pleated.

"HE ROAD from London to Ken

 There he found aid, and ere he rode away he was betrothed to Lady Elean- or.
 But the wedding had to be post ed on account of stirring affairs. De Montfort rebelled against the King and
