at seeing those young ladies standing
while I am seated"
You need not feel embarrassed"

ut is a rule of the court that they
shall stand in the presence of their
sovereign"
Il hope your Majesty will pardon
me for saying that it is rule / wish
your Majesty could see your way to
alter" replied Mr.. Gladstone bluntly.

angry was she that. a few minutes
later, she rose from her chair and.
giving the prime minister the stiffest
Of bows, retired for the night.
The next morning Mr.. Gladstone
left Windsor without seeing the
Queen.

My Neiahbor Says:

Don't let the frosts rob you of your
tomatoes. There are several WAYS
of protecting them or OF inducing
them to mature rapidly. Some grow
ers allow the foliage to grow heavy
in the fall and to drop over the
fruit. Others make a light frame,
over which canvas or burlap is hung
on cold nights. Another plan is to
pick the tomatoes as soon as they
show any signs OF color and place
them on straw in a cold frame or
even in boxes covered with glass
Finally you can pull up the vines by
the roots and suspend them from
the ceiling in the attic, where the
fruit will gradually ripen. Garden
ers often have tomatoes until Christ
mas by adopting this method.
When scissors get blunt. sharpen
them by opening and moving back
wards and forwards on a piece of
glass.
Grass stains on clothing should be
soaked in paraf1n. The garment may
then be sent to the Laundry as usual.
To remove fruit stains from table,
cloths apply powdered starch to the
stained parts. Leave for several
hours till all the discoloration has
been absorbed by the starch.
All wooden buckets and washtubs,
when not in use, should have about
two inches of water left in them.
This prevents them from becoming
too dry and the wood from shrink
