MADAME DE POPELINIERE.

Madame de .Popeliniere was the daughter of an actress and was edu- cated for the stage. M. de Popelin- iere, an opulent financier, attracted by her beauty, made her his mistress. Mile. Daucour, which Has her maiden name, brought her case to the atten- ton of the prime minister, to whom she represented that she had been deceived by her lover. The act of openly keeping a mistress was a lux ury as yet scarcely authorized among the bourgoisie, vice being still con- sidered the privilege of the nobles. The prime minister Fleury, compelled M. de Popeliniere to marry the girl, on pain of withdrawing a profitable gov ernment contract. The financier complied, but he never forgave his mistress the means she had taken to secure the rank of his wife. Madame de Popeliniere soon became one of the most admired women of the Parisian world. She entertained poets, paint CTS, and all the great men of her time at her home. Her success, however, was short-lived. She en- gagged in an intrigue with the duke of Richelieu, which her husband discov- cred. He drove her from his home, despite the fact that he made her a liberal allowance. She was at once dropped by the society over which she had ruled with so much grace. She died shortly afterward.

A Beautiful Speaking Voice is

chest can be expanded and full of air. The chest supplies the sounding board for the voice. With the chest thus free, ample breathing is possi- ble so that you can introduce dexibil- ity and toe variations into your speaking voice.
 In order to cultivate a beautiful voice it is necessary also to keep the lungs well expanded with frequent pauses for breathing at regular in- tervals. Plant the feet firmly on the ground so that the body is well braced. If you're tilted on shoes that have too high heels, the strain will show in your voice.
 A few simple exercises of the trunk will aid considerably in developing your body so that you can cultivate a good speaking voice:
 Two Fine Exercises.
 Stand erect with the feet a few inches apart, holding your arms and slowly bend your body backward as far as possible without disturbing your balance. Return slowly to the erect position.
 Now bend forward, still keeping your arms over your head, and re- turn to the erect position.
 Then backward and forward alter nately three or four times.
 Another simple exercise is to stand as directed above, then bend down to one side as far as possible, straighten your body and bend in the opposite direction. When bending to the led raise your right leg slightly off the ground, and when bending to the right raise your left leg slight. Dc this three or four times.
 If you will take this exercise in the morning after your bath, but before dressing, you will find that it not only increases the beauty of your form but also helps you in developing a more liquid resonant speaking voice

SAVE GREATLY ON CHILDREN'S
 CLOTHES

Mothers are asked to do many sorts Of necessary saving because of the war.
 Some sorts of war saving require special watchfulness on the mothers part to guard the children from pos sible harm. For instance, food sub stitutions must be made with great care in order that the children's food may still contain al lthe elements nec- essary to growth.
 But with clothes in summer it is different. In hot summer weather it is distinct advantage to the child's health to be dressed lightly. And the saving of textiles and leather is an important consideration now. Wool must be saved because it is needed for the blankets, underwear, and uni forms of our fighting forces. Cotton is needed for hospitals and many oth CT uses. The need to supply leather for the army's use is of course imper- ative.
 In selecting fabrics for clothing it is not entirely a matter of finding a cheaper mad less needed substitute. Old goods must be brought again into service, turned, cleaned, washed, dyed and made over. When an old gar ment is returned to usefulness actual saving of wool or cotton is effected, and in addition manufacturers will be able to concentrate their output on goods for army uses because of the decreased demand for unnecessary materials.
 The purchasing of novelties, fancy fabrics, and elaborate garments tends to withdraw from war uses not only needed materials but labor, especially skilled laborers needed for other branches of production.
 Now in summer large savings of woolen materials of every sort includ- ing fancy and light colored wools us ed for knitting can be accomplished. Children can be clothed practically en- tire1y in cotton for several months to come. Wise mothers will make chil- dren's summer clothing as simply as possible, thus reducing the work re- quired for washing and ironing, and increasing the child's comfort. | Children like to wear barefoot san dals in summer. Their use saves 1 leather, and stockings. Half soling and mending makes shoes go much farther. Further saving of leather can be effected by using canvas shoes | in summer.
 | The publications of the Children's Bureau on the care of children will be helpful to mothers in the solution of the puzzling problem of clothing children in summer. The Children S Bureau of the U. s. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C., will send these pamphlets free of charge upon request.

 If you wish to give yourself an op- portunity of developing a beautiful speaking voice, then the first thing is to watch carefully your method of breathing and sitting and standing. The breath controls the voice, and the breath is in turn affected by the diaphragm. As the diaphragm con- tracts, it increases the size of the chest and allows the lungs to expand, and then the diaphragm relaxes and the chest is decreased. By this process the air in your lungs rushes out.
 You can readily see, then, that if your figure is too tightly bound by stays, that you hinder breathing, and thus not only distort your body, but also unpleasantly affect what might otherwise be one of the most charm ing accessories to your personality.
 Your Clothes Count.
 If you wear corsets they should be low enough and just tight enough to support the abdomen, but the lower ribs should be left free so that the

TIMELY THRIFT.

Nut shells make good fuel in open grates, blaze prettily and crackle and snap genially.
 Give your brooms an occasional hot bath, preferably on wash day, when you have plenty of hot, sudsy water. Keep brooms hanging when not in use; it makes them last longer and shape better. Brooms with bamboo handles are not nearly as tiring to use.
 To save laundry work use neat white patterned oil or enamelled cloth for childrens table and paper napkins, on extra occasions white lace paper doilies.

time German did not in any way
support his wife or later his child
and his whereabouts were unknown
to the family. A short time ago how

German now wishes to have the
custody of the child and to do his
part in caring for his daughter, which
he neglected during the past. The

action as she has become very much

WERE FISHING; DROWNED
Bottom of Boat Dropped Out and oc
cupants Sank to Death.

While out on a fishing trip to
Bean Lake, between Storden and
Westbrook, Monday, Clarence Olson,
son of Hans Olson, living about two
miles out of Storden, and a young
man named Peterson from Golden,
Brown county, were drowned.
The two left about noon and went
out to the lake where they used an
old boat that had been on the lake
for some time. The wood in the boat
must of been pretty we'll rottened
for it appeared as though the bot
tom of the boat had dropped out and
let them down. Searchers saw a
fish pole out on the lake and upon
going out there found that the boat
had sunk there, also it was there
where the bodies were recovered The
fact that they had left their coats
on the shore is what caused suspi-
cion when the boys did not return
later in the day and which caused
them to think they might have been
drowned.
