 We must of course arrange our first morning duties so that they can be ac- cCmplished with ease and dispatch. No waiting for breakfast by a hungry fam ilv, but rather the coming to an attrae- lively laid table with the aroma of fresh coffee, delicious bacon, and delicately browned gems to tempt the appetite.
 Madam home maker will always ap- pear at the table with her hair neatly though simply done and in a trim house dress No morning cap and kimono with that up and doing smile that means suc- cess.
 There are even few who will say. But who is going to put me in the prop- CT frame of mind to smile and to want to make others smile?" There isn't even a man to wake the bugler up in this ease-our home makers must be self-smile sta rters.

SUCCESS OF THE
 VICTORY LOAN IS
 ASSURED--M' ADOO
Declares People Will Lend in Order That the Nations Sacred Debt May Be
 Discharged
By Associated Press

Washington, April 1S.-Success of the Victory Loan was predicted by William s. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, in a statement made public tonight by the treasury. The American people, he declared, will respond to the ban with the same degree of patriotism shich they manifested in previous cam paigns and will lend sufficient amount to the government to enable 1t to dis sharge "the most sacred debt that any nation ever incurred"
 'I have said from the beginning of Ehis war when I was charged with the responsibility of conducting the finances If the government MT. McAdoO assert d, that it was not question with the American people of the rate of interest sr any detail of the Liberty Loans. Their patriotism is not determined by dollars md cents. They prove to the country They have dedicated themselves to a noble cause and they are willing to pay he price in money and blood, no mat Der what it is.
 .'We have done the job and done it klcriously. Our heroic sons have brought lustre upon the flag and upon the name of America that will never be di- ninished unless we ourselves tarnish it. We are not going to tarnish it. We are going to discharge every obligation as Uncle Sam has always done throughout sur history to the utmost limit demanded U the national honor and by the char Ecter of the obligation itself.'

the court ladies. At once they focked
around Eugene.
The civil marriage took place at
the Elysee Palace January 20, 1853,
and the religious ceremony was held
in the Cathedral of Notre Dame the
next day. The Emperor and his
bride drove to Villeneuve pEtang,
near St. Cloud, and spent there the
first week of their married life, re-
turning at the end of this brief
honeymoon to the palace of the TUT
leries.
Still, though an empress in name,
Eugene was not treated as an en-
press in fact. Neither she nor her
husband knew exactly what was the
reason so little respect was shown to
them. Their court was gorgeous and
extravaganza, but it was slovenly.
Immense sums of money were spent
in great entertainments, beautiful
women and gallant men gathered
there from all corners of all the
world, but the atmosphere was Of a
plebeian familiarity, and liberties Of

An Actiue PIotter

"The whole expression of this
waxlike countenance, with its en-
chanting blending of the Moorish
and Germanic types, displays some
what of Southern languor. But if
she were to smile, if words were to
pass those exquisitely carved lips,
the GOODNESS Of this face would melt
away, the eyes would open to their
full size and sparkle like stars in a
tropical heaven. At present she
seems poetical and gentle, but she
would be enchanting were she to
burst into passion and all the feel
ings she possesses display themselves
in their might and fullness. At such
times there flashes from her eyes
something unexpected-a look of
hatred, contempt, triumph and craft
which forms the most wondrous
contrast with this St. Cecilian coun-
tenance."
This was the heyday of her power
and glory. 1t was also the time
when the malady which ultimately
caused Napoleon's death began TO

twice that evening and later said he

Eugene took care that he should
not be mistaken. Here was her
quarry. Here was the fulfillment Of
the gypsy's prophecy. She put her.
self in his way. She sympathized
with him in his plans and ambitions.
She helped him in his dangerous and
complicated plottings, and on the
night of the coup d'etat stood beside
him at the telegraph instrument that
bore the message Of success.
But there were yet obstacles to be
overcome. Louis Napoleon was Ma

Jerome Bonaparte was moved to
write to Napoleon:
Zone may admire and love the
daughter Of the Countess de Montijo,
but one does not marry her."
The ladies of the court said the
marriage was impossible. They in
suited Eugene. When she sought to
join them at the gatherings of the
court they withdrew and left her
standing alone. One morning she
stood with tears in her eyes on the
terrace at Compiegne. The other
ladies of the court were in group a
short distance away. Napoleon went
to Eugene and asked her what was
the trouble. She told him of the
latest insult that had been heaped
upon her.
The Emperor took spray of ivy
and plated it into crown, which he
placed on her head.

which carried to the watching group,

Lacked Royal Dignity

Eugene dazzled Madrid, but she
did not gain the royal favor. There
was too much of the gypsy in her
conduct. Looking back on this part
Of her career, one sees foreshadowed
the criticism Of Won Moltke, when he
visited the French court in 1867:
Her delivery is fast and fluent
and her bearing is hardly that which
one expects to find in such high sta
ton"
The denouement was inevitable.

well received in French society. She
had met the French princes in Mad

had ridden with the Due de Mont
pensier, danced with the Prince de
Joinville and visited museums with
the Due d'Aumale. She was quickly
taken up in Paris and renewed her

The Official Record

The description given of Eugene
by the Royal Almanac of Spain when
she married Napoleon III was:
bona Maria Eugenia de Guz-
man Porto-carrero y Palafox,
Countess of Teba, Marchioness of
Ardales, of Osera, of Moya, Count
ess of Ablitas, of Banos with
grandeeship of the first class),
Countess of Santa Cruz de la ST.
ezra, Viscountess of Calzada."
Whatever may be the facts of
their birth, Eugene and her sister
were taken to Paris by the Countess
de Montijo and educated in the
Convent of the Sacred Heart. Their
education completed, the two girls
were taken back to Madrid and there
made the acquaintance of Prosper
Merimee and Henri Boyle, who en-
tertained them and fired their i'm
aginations with tales of the First
Napoleon.
There was little to choose between
the two girls for beauty, but there
was vast difference in the spirit
they displayed. Paca captivated and
married the Duke of Alba. Eugene
refused all suitors. When she was
little girl a gypsy had prophesied
that she would one day be a queen,
and Eugene at the court of Spain
set out to dazzle the world. She rode
through the streets of Madrid on an
unsaddled horse, attended the fenc-
ing school, led the applause at bull
fights, f1irted with toreadors and en-
broidered caps for them in gold. A
writer Of the time said of her:
