MONACO PRINCESS
is AMERICAN GIRL

The only American woman to en-
joy the distinction and suffer the dis
illusionment of being the wife of a
sovereign was Alice Heine, who was
born in New Orleans so years ago.
Her father was Michael Heine, a
Jewish banker, who made a fortune
in New Orleans and settled in Paris
after the Franco-Prussian war.
His daughter, Alice, became the
bride of the Due de Rtchelieu, scion
of an ancient French line, and enor-
mous1y fat. She bore him son and
daughter, after which he died. Alice
Heine, Duchess of Richelieu, remain
ed widow many years before she was
wooed and won by the Prince of Mon
AGO.
Life with the sovereign prince of the
tiny country of Monaco-noted princi.

SHEETS

There are cotton bed sheets and lin
en- bed sheets and hotel bed sheets.
In some states the hotel sheets are
required to be nine feet long.
In some states they are not, but the
patron of the hotel knows, even if
his sheet is only five and half feet
in length, it will be long enough be-
fore there is another clean one on the
bed.
1 have seen hotel sheets in all states
A bed sheet folded and lying on the
shelf of a linen closet or in a laun-
dry bag is about as quiet and well be-
haved an article as one could wish
to see.
One would never guess from its
downcast eye and general decorous
air that it had latent devilment in it
But that same sheet, if you get in
to bed with it on top of you after a
roast-pork or mince-pie supper. de-
yelops the most Douglasfairbanks dis
position imaginable.
While you lie quietly beneath it, ii
will yank itself loose from its moor
ings at the foot of the bed and roll
itself into a rope and leap Violently
from beneath the outer covers to lie
writhing on top of the spread.
Just before you wake from long
and fruftless fight with it, it quiets
down and swears it never moved
Throughout the entire night.

HINTS

When making doughnuts add one
fourth teaspoonful of ground sugar.
The spice will not be detected and the
doughnuts will not soak fat
If ink is spilled on carpet, wash it
out at once with sweet milk and
sprinkle it with white cornmeaI.
Leave it overnight and next morning
sweep it up. The colors will remain
bright.
When frying fish if the pieces ara

TEA ROOMS
Are STILL
POPULAR

In spite of no milk. unpa1atable
bread, and very expensive cakes, the
popularity of the Paris tearoom con-
tnues, and the most beautifully
dressed women frequent them. 1t is
now a fashion, says the Paris cores
pondent of the London Queen, to take
a little bottle of milk in ones bag, so
that tea can have something of the
old SAVIOR; sugar is provided in mod
Grafton and the sugar-box need only
be added to the days luggage when
going to tea at the house of a friend.
Beautiful furs, quilted satin exquisite
pearls. and ever-changing millinery,
go to make up a luxurious picture.
The coats are as they were month
ago-straight, not full, slit up the
sides, with huge collars and cuffs OF
fur. Some all-fur coats are to be
seen, chiefly beaver. but satin and
fur, or cloth and fur, make up the
greater part of the sum total.
The hats of the week are turbans
in black satin with twists of cloth OF
gold or cloth of silver. In one form
or another every Parisienne has hat
of this kind and she wears 1t very
we'll. Another little hat which is
popular is a tiny brimmed, melon
shaped form covered with gold bro
cade. and all around the brin, rising
from it, and set apart from the crown
straight fold Of black tulle. TINS
fold is not f1ounce because 1t IS not
at all full, but it stands stiff, AM
gives volume to the hat.
A fantasy of the moment is tc
| have a ring or a breloque made OF a
| bit of anthracite set in diamonds
thus illustrating the scarcity OF one
and the abundance of the other.
The materials for the new fashions
will certainly show more cotton ano
silk than wool, and the very clever
manufacturers of France Will no
doubt show some mixtures which will
replace the old serge and tweed anc
cloth of other days. Everything will
be more expensive than ever, and ne
English cloths will be allowed into
France. we are told.
Every kind of material, from cal
| leo, batiste, muslin. to cloth' satn
velvet and fur, is three tunes the
price asked in 1913, and whether one
wants a nurses blouse or an evening
dress she must pay three times VIVA
you used to pay.
| Underwear is getting more ant
more skinny and fragile, pink, blue
rnauve, and a union of more severe
shades in silks and tulle go to make
the petticoat of today, with its apol
ogv for a bodice and its shoulder
straps of ribbon.

Remarkable Spirit

Etiquette

In reply to a letter of coincidence,
one may send a visiting card by mail,
with the words Thank you for your
sympathy" written above the name.
However, to intimate friends it would
be more courteous to send notes.
Mrs. D. Ell suspect that you do
not mix with other people often
enough to feel at ease when convers-
ing. Try to meet other women and
men socially instead of avoiding
them; and remember that we all are
mere hauman beings, and that per-
haps you are as intelligent and charm
ing as the majority of US if only you
will be your natural kindly SELF stop
thinking about the impression you
are making, and talk of all sorts OF
ordinary matters. You need not do
all the talking, but you can ask ques-
tions-never personal or curious ones
and listen attentively while the
other person talks. If you are gen.
timely interested in the people about
you, if would not be difficult for you
to forget yourself and think of them
If you can do this the battle against
circumstances will be won.

and girls from your high school goe

Their mothers should not allow then

of the men teachers accompanied tn

him or her happy, contented, good
natured baby. The selection Of suit

it is easily solved if you will but look
