There are, of course, other
causes for the reduction in the
normal life span. They include
the growing tendency to .degen-
eracy and looseness of morals to
be remarked throughout the
world. This, however, I regard
as a consequence Of the reign Of
speed. A man who travels fast
lives fast in other ways. He
overworks his blood without COM

war was declared in 1914 the
average age of mankind has
fallen from 81 to 81. according to
statistics complied by the Danish

Not THE war directly, but the

To the credit Of this army OF young
women who leave home every morning
to work downtown it should be remem-
bered that their work downtown Is
not all they do. Unlike their nrothers
they do not sit down to a meal thas

and run. Unlike their brothers, they

It is the double life that thousands

When the loyal and honest British
ers pay homage of heart to the PIC
tured Alexandra at the coronation
from the brush of Edwin R. Abbey, K.
Ait is only to their queens head
and face. The rounded arms, the
well poised neck, the stately, patri-
clan carriage of the figure are an
other's-the secret is Il now. Miss
Evelyn Converse, an American giri
from Wisconsin at that, POSED as
Queen Alexandra for Mr.. ADbeys
great painting, THE Ccgongton or
Edward VII"
Miss Converse hasn't sat on thu
royai throne but she has worn the
coronation robes. She has never been
presented at court, but she has come
and gone at Buckingham palace as II
born to the purple. She was never
proclaimed queen in Westminster,
but there she is in the picture.
The king himself ordered the paint
ing to be hung on the walls OF Buck
ingham palace. He posed; the queen
posed; all the important personageE
who were nearest to their maJestles
on that august occasion faced Mr.. Alb
hey for their portions of the picture.
But for two years the great work was
held up because there was no suitable
model in England.
"For two years I've waited 1oi
you" said Mr.. Abbey when he met
Miss Converse. He knew he a
found the model he W~anted-the rest
was only a matter of course. Who
hat could do it would refuse to pose
for her majesty, consort OF EdWard
VII, and wear her robes and jewels?
Strangely enough. Miss Converse
isn't a professional model at all. She
comes from Eau Claire, Wis, where
her father, Henry Edward Converse.
is a successful up-to-date American.

GOOD FORMS OF CUSTOM

TIT LOVE OF country life is grow
ing among Americans and Of all
delightful ways Of showing hospital
ity, none Us so charming as the gar
den party. This may be a simple af-
fair or an elaborate one.
A garden party is. as a rule. nothing
more or less than an afternoon tea,
conducted in the charming and pic
turesque environment Of b~losscming
flower beds, smooth shayen lawns,
and full leafed trees, with an orches-
ira which plays at intervals during
the afternoon.
However, a hostess may make a
musical of it, or a lawn fete, where
tennis and croquet are pl. yed, and
during the evening dancing is indulg-
ed in by the young PEOPLE.
Ordinarily a garden party begins at 3
o'clock and concludes at 7. II the en-
tertainment is given between these
hours, three or four maids In dark
dresses, with white caps and aprons,
may either serve the refreshments at
little tables, or pass them around as
at a buffet supper. If the party Is

berries, and cherries, gooseberries,
currants, peaches, or plumbs should
be served with ices, cakes, cold and
hot tea, sandwiches, salad, claret cup,
and iced lemonade.i
The possibility of rain must be plan
ned for and in such an event the SER
wants must be instructed to serve
everything In the dining room.

For a formal garden party the in
yitations should be engraved on large
white cards, or engraved cards OF
invitations, where the name, form of
entertainment, hours, and date are
written on, may be used.
The following forms are correct for
those which must be engraved.

This is the story of how the pretty
American girl was asked to wear
Queen Alexandra's coronation robes
when Miss Converse called on Mr.. Abb
hey. AS she tells it.:
"He smiled and just looked at me
hard. hard, for about a minute. Then
he asked me If | would mind taking
off my glove, that he might see my
hand. I said. Yes. I'll do it, and
then-why, he just said that if my
arms were like that he'd most certain
ly want me for a very important pic
ture he was painting.
"And that very day l put on Queen
Alexandra's robes and he began to
paint me in the picture"

To the Busy Ironer

A floor pad Of newspapers, piled
two inches high or 80. will be the de-

should be covered with floor linen, the
other with carpet-the linen for sum-

1t is an unbelievable relief to tired
feet.

prevents other substances from get

Is not convenient to use white soap,
a pure kitchen variety will answer,
but it often irrttates sensitive skins.
Filling the finger nails with soap is
also to be recommended for women

For Children

! A good plan when making children's
4rocks is to make the bodices two or
sskxee inches longer than required and
sew them to the bands Of the skirt.
II the dress becomes too short, the
SKIRT may be sewn to the lower edge
Of the skirtband and thus be made
longer. 1t Is a better plan than the
one Of turning up too wide hens or
putting in tucks.

peeled tomatoes into thick slices. ar

picked, are necessary to give a pretty
setting to the entertainment. Ihe
lower floor of the house should be set
in order and decorated with flowers;
the doors and windows are left hos
pitably open, and chairs set forth on
the porches.
Rugs should be laid here and
there on the grass and comfortable
chairs and small tables placed where
the guests may sit and chat. Each
table should have its centerpiece Of
flowers and attractive doilies. An
orchestra OF mandolines, banjos, and
guitars can be stationed on a porch
or secreted among the shrubs.
1t Is not necessary to provide
special entertainment for the guests
at a garden party. But II the
grounds include a good croquet lawn
or a tennis court this should be put
in order, with the wickets in place
and balls, racquets, and mallets laiu
forth c~onspicuously, for the use OF
those guests who enjoy q game.
= .
At the earliest hour at which the
guests may be expected the music
should begin, and the hostess, dress
ed in a dainty and cool afternoon
frock. should take her place on tie
avn or on the porch at one side of
the house and be in readiness to
greet each new arrival.
To each arriving guest a word Vi
greeting, and unless others claim her
attention Immediately she can make
introductions and enjoy a short cnat
with every friend as he or she sp-
pears.
A hostess may receive with her
husband, a son, a daughter, a friend,
or she may receive alone.
At a formal garden party the
guests, as a rule, leave their cards on
entering or departing from the
house.
Women always dress for a garden
party In afternoon gowns of silk,
linen, or chiffon, with hats md
gloves. Men wear either the cuta-
way coat or sack coat suits and
straw hats. At an informal affair, or
when sports OF any kind are inudlg-
ed in, men may wear white flannels.
