QUEEN CAROLINE.

While the history of Queen Caro- line of Brunswick is tragic, there are
 many who assert that she deserved many of her misfortunes. u is said that she died of vexation at being re- fused admission into Westminster Ab- bey while her husband was being crowned King George ". of England. She was the cousin of the Prince of
 Wales whom she married. He had previously married Mrs. Fitzher- bert, but this was not recognized. Be sides this he had piled up debts amounting to 650,000 pounds, after Parliament had granted him a sum
 to pay off previous obligations. The marriage was political, purely. When Caroline was introduced to her flu ture husband, the latter is said almost to have tainted, and had to be given
 brandy to steady him. They lived to- gether for a year and were then sepa- rated, one daughter having been born to them. The historian says: "Her habits were filthy and her tastes vul-
 gar" Caroline went to live in the I country and adopted the child of a laborer, and suspicious were cast up on her conduct. She was cleared of these, however, and left England in IlS14 Later she was tried on a charge of adulterous conduct with her valet.

How to Reduce Facial
 Pores the Beauty Way
By LucreZia BOri


One of the questions that comes to me most frequently is, How can I re- euce the pores of my face? They are so large and conspicuous"
 Enlarged pores are caused by many things, but most common is the misuse of hot water Hot water rub bed over the face may feel refresh ing, but it is not the correct expedient for cleansing the skin. Dashing hot water over the face has the immediate effect of opening the pores and un- less the face is afterward treated to a generous daubing with cold water, the pores remain open, easily accumu- late bits of dust floating about in the air, and thus become clogged while in an enlarged state.
 Powdering the face when the pores are thus enlarged also has dire conse- quences, for the powder, instead of merely dusting the outer surface of the skin lightly, gets into the pores and keeps them clogged.
 If you use hot water on the face at all, immediately follow it up with NO4u MdlSI dppllSdIIOLS Dul lIl6 D6SI plan is not to put hot water on the face at all. If you wish to give the face a thorough cleansing, steam it.
 Cover the head with Turkish tow el then put the face over the sauce pan of steaming water. Steam gent ly opens the pores, and the water thus easily absorbed into the skin is a great be1O toward ora diCati0g yUri oS Then wipe the face lightly with a soft towel, dash. over with cold water massage gently with cold cream anc lightly dust with powder. If this plar is followed, there will be no enlarge. ment of the pores due to injudiciou: hot water treatment.

As you ex- pect to do the preparing and serving yourself, you must plan the meal ac- cordingly.

means of conquest. With his superior army he invaded the country, and for a long time there were many bloody conflicts.
 Nevertheless, Rudolph could make no headway, and in the year 9l9 he was finally defeated and retreated 10 his own country, foiled. Curiousfy' however, the feud which this warfare eneendered did not last very long. For only three years later Burkhard and Rudolph were as good friends as though there had been no conflict pe- tween them, and Burkhard proudIy gave his daughter, Bertha, in marriage to King Rudolph.
 Whether the people of Alamann1a enioved being transferred as a dowry from one kingdom to another we oo not know, but certainly King Rudolph's people profited by the ac- ouisition of the new queen. Bertha was lovely to behold, gentle of spirit, charitable and kind to the noor. But chiefly she was noted TOT her industry. likeness for even a mo- ment was intolerable to her, and by every means in her power she encour- aged her people to occupy themselves constantly in some useful labor. i She was never without some occu- patton herself, and even when riding about on her palfrey she kept spin ming from a distaff which she carried with her.
 One day she was making her rounds from farm to farm, mixing cordial! with her people, as was her won't when she met a young shepherdes' and observed that she was spinning while watching her flock. Highl! pleased at this evidence of industry Queen Bertha called the young girl tt her and gave her a rich present.
 The news of this action soon spread not only among the peasants bu among the ladies of the court. They too, determined to ingratiate them selves with the Queen. So few day later all the ladies in waiting appear ed in court with distaffs in hand. The, waited for the Queen to acknowledg their new virtue with some suitabl reward as she had favored the peas ant girl But smilingly the wis young Queen addressed them:
 "My ladies'" she said, 'you com too late. The young peasant girl cam

using the wrong kinds of powder. Many of the cheap powders are coarse grained and when dashed plentifully on the face they stick and get rubbed into the skin. The best powders are ground to exceeding fine- ness, and when little is lightly dust ed on the face before going outdoors. IL serves as a protection to the s6in
 But powder should not be allowed to remain on the face for a long time. It should be removed frequently, and fresh powder should never be ap- piled until the old layer has first been removed with a little cold cream. The habit of dusting powder on the face on top of layer that has already be- come greasy or soiled because of ex- posture outdoors, is obviously un- wholesome for the skin. Layers of grimy powder are thus covered and pressed into the skin, and result eventually in excessively large pores.
 In Bad Cases. If your pores are too large, try the simple cleansing method above de- scribed, be generous in your use of cold water after the hot water or steaming. and use fine powder very sparingly.
 Sometimes enlarged pores with their accompanying ills of pimpIes proceed from some internal disorders. Therefore if the condition is thus ag- gravated it is wise to consult a physi> elan. External treatments will not. be sufficient, but a change of diet, or | 2 remove the cause and bring about a | healthier state of the skin.
 Enlarged pores are not easy to re- duce' because the condition comes on gradually and only when in an ad- vanced stage does it become apparent. So avoid the consequences by judicious application of water and powder to the delicate texture of the face.

 Scarce-Sweet potatoes, apples, lima beans, lettuce, string beans.
 Lower Prices on Market
 There was a marked falling off in trade at the Farmers Market at the foot of Wall street this morning. Rainy weather and a Thursday morn- ing were factors combining to make business poor. Demand was weak and very few loads were sold out at 8 a. m. Prices were easier on most all produce but this incentive did not seem to create any demand. Buyers preferred light loads and many did not show up at all. Tomatoes Selling Slowly Tomatoes sold very slowly this morning at the lowest prices recorded this season. Most sales at soc to soc for baskets of selected stock with some sales made, both above and be- l low these figures. Plenty of stock for soup and catsup could be had at the l buyers figures. It is feared that con- sumers are not realizing the oppor- tunity offered in the abundant tomato crop with reasonable prices. Every housewife, to have an adequate supply should put down at least 75 quart cans of this vegetable. This allows for tomatoes twice a week during the winter
 Sweet Corn Much Cheaper
 Fancy sweet corn was selling this morning at $2.5O per sack as top price with most sales at $225. Some small CT stock was disposed of at $2, mak- ing corn worth 24c to soc a dozen as the price the retailer pays. Second stock was disposed of at $1 to $1.50 per 100, according to quality.
