ROYAL ROMANCES
PETER THE GREAT AND ANNA MONS.

waning, Anna resorted to the
ruse OF petty natures and tried
to make him jealous. She began
a filtration with Kayserling, the
Prussian minister, whose vanity
was tremendously ticlxIed at the
idea of having the Car for
rival.
But Anna only succeeded in
completely estranging the Car
and decided to establish herself
~by marrying tKayserling. But
again she played her cards badly.
Instead of frankly asking Peters
blessing, which no doubt he
would have been glad to give. she
intrusted the mission to Menshi-
hot, who dfslfked her.
Peter Immediately revoked the
grant OF her estate and palace.
He caused the arrest of the Mons
family, but when his anger had
cooled he ordered their release.
In the first heat Of passion he
went over to the suburbs and
played a decidedly plebeian role
by getting into a drunken brawl
with Kayserling, who audaciously
offered to fight His Majesty, for
which two soldiers, in an excess
OF zeal. gave him a drubbing.
In making UP with the minis
ter. Peter said: ct educated the
girl Mons for myself with the
sincere intention of marrying her"
And Annals small soul, not
knowing what to do with power,
foolishly asked for baubles when
the crown of Czarina Of all the
Russias was within her grasp!
The favorite who had come SO
near to changing the course Of
Russian destiny died in the. for
eign suburb Of Moscow in liza.

gowns. And how reminiscent OF

A smart gown for afternoon is
OF light-hrown lace girdled with
puffings of olive-green ribbon and
brown and gold embroidery. The
bodice has tiny kimono sleeves.

skirt is attached at the hips and

is made Of the narrow puffings,

slip of cyclamen velvet with short
sleeves that barely covers the
shoulders. Over this there is
draped a skirt Of mauve and sill
yer lace, that hangs considerably
below the velvet slip, and is
caught up in the center front with
a gorgeous buckle. A huge feather

and silver sandals and headdress
complete this striking costume.

velvet. The gown itself is Of the
old blue velvet, with closely~fitted
bodice and wing sleeves Of the
tulle. The skirt opens over
lavish petticoat Of silver lace and
blue tulle, showing a panel at the
front. There is an attractive gir-
die Of blue, silver and jewels that
hangs down the front over the
petticoat.
Not only in gowns is the vogue

shown on many of the new spring

Of sand colored straw is made

and falls to the tip OF the nose.

TAKING COLD
BY HAND
BY Brice BeIden, M. D.

ToLDs are contracted by In
i, lection carried from one
person to another. exactly
as measles and rnumps are.
Colds are said to cause twice
AZ much loss Of time as tubercu.
losis, but in the former case
the loss Is distributed among
practically the whole population,
20 that 1t doesn't mean much as
regards the individual. But from
q community standpoint the to-
tai loss Of time, wages and pros.
perity is really vast. It there
fore behooves US to learn Just
what it is that spreads colds
and do what we can to abate the
dangerous nuisance.
Most people nowadays are pref
ty well informed as to the dis
charges from the nose and mouth
being the material that carries
the infection. They also know
the danger Of sneezing, coughing
and even speaking to those close
by.
The director Of the Institute of
Public Health, of London, Ontario
III. W.. Hills carrying on a
propaganda designed to make the
public better acquainted with the
fact that the commonest means
Of transmission is by the hands.
Catching cold by hand" is the
apt phrase which he has coined
to spread his gospel.
When You come to think Of it,
when you sneeze or cough you
guard YOUR nose and mouth either
with your hand or a handker-
chief. You either infect your
hand directly. or indirectly by
handling the handkerchief again
and again-and your handkerchief
pocket also becomes infected.
You then shake hands with
other people and convey the infec-
ton to them for transference to
their mouths and noses in turn.
Or you handle all sorts Of OBJ
jects which are handled in turn
by other people.
The only way Ill Of us can be
safe from this mode OF infection Is
by washing the hands thoroughly
before handling food, or chewing
gum, or using pipes and cigarettes
and cigars, and keeping our un.
washed hands away from our
mouths. Lips. nose and eyes.

WORK CAN'T HURT YOU

, Meve them? / don't!

: Heve them? I don't!
Work is the most refreshinr
thing in the world. Activity is
the most stimulating thing there
is. Only the lazy people have
time to think how tired they ara.
For tiredness and boredom are
more closely related than most
Of US realize or acknowledge.
Try this. Suppose you wake up
some morning with q sense Of
exhaustion. Maybe you danced
too much the night before. May
be you were up too late. Maybe
you wore yourself out with some
society activity. A. yway, your
head aches. You feel as IL you
couldn't lift a finger. You want
to take a day off-to lie in bed
to do nothing. And if you indulge
yourself, you spend the day
thinking how worn out you are
So you get weary just keeping
your mind on your weariness..
Try this instead. Get up with
a spring. Exercise by an open
window. Walk briskly to work
If You have time. II you have to
hurry. don't let the thought of
the walk you can't take worry
you. And when you get to work
don't spend q fraction Of your
thought or energy on your weari-
ness.
Instead, plunge heartily into
the job. Find all the enjoyment
you can in what you are doing.
Refuse to entertain a thought Of
tiredness.
