WHERE are many things 10 be
considered in blanket buying
besides the price. Few women
today buy the old-fashioned double
blankets. The reason Is that they
make a difficult laundry problem
and frequently our over-warm houses
or apartments make heavy bedding
a burden. Often only one blanket
Is needed. except in extreme weather.
Almost all housewives use the cot
ton blankets for Summer. for they
wash easily. without shrinking. and
are moth-proof. They also stand a

Her inordinate ambition mani

Il was not love which had guided
her. Her influence over the King
was absolute. His ministers passed
through her apartments on their way
to the King and together with them
she prepared the business for the
Kings consideration
Even the letters which emanated
from the royal hand. and. too. al
other letters passing through the
post office, were subject to her per-
usal. and In this way she made her
self absolutely indispensable TO the
King.
After a year or 20 OF this indefat-
igabie labor. she found that she was
losing the Kings interest and
straightway set herself about regain

ladies' OF the palace acted. For his
pleasure. comedies. tragedies and bal

found she must prepare fresh pleas

power. Then 1t was that she plunged

encouraged the King In his debauch-

was felt through France until the
