In 1875 the ignorant London mobs
witnessed a gorgeous spectacle. A fine
procession set out from the Tower for
been organized under the direct aus
pices of Edward III, King of England.
A long line of mounted knights was
in the procession and each ones horse
was led by lady of high degree, SUI
perbly gowned. In the center rolled a
triumphal chariot in which sat the 63-
year-old monarch. Beside him, mag
nificently attired, was a woman much
younger than he, who appeared in the
character of THE Lady of the Sun"
This woman was Alice PerrerS, one
of the first of many eminent gold-dig-
gers figuring in the history of England.
The parade and tournament were in
tended to show to the world the power
she held over the King.
How much younger than Edward she
was nobody knows, since the facts OF
her origin were never discovered. Later
eenealogists have tried to give her
gentle pedigree. but chroniclers of her
own day insisted that she was the
daughter of tiler Of Hunneye, near
Exeter.
She seems to have been employed in
her girlhood as poor servant, and
fourteenth century accounts say that
her first lover was "a certain fool that
used. with his hands to carry water
from the conduit to mems houses for
necessary USE"
Whatever her origin, Alice had brains

things a Summer tree. 1t is late in
leaflng, and early deciduouS In this
climate. And in every way 1t proclaims
that it is a member of a tropical
family-our only representative, indeed,
of the Quassia family.

Watching the Buzzard.
The very essence Of long, warm,
lazy Summer afternoon Is in the flight
of the turkey buzzard. A buzzard, to
be appreciated, has to be seen in the
distance. Close at hand. or walking
about in field, he is the most repulsive
and silly looking bird in existence. His
head Is so small in proportion to his
body that he looks brainless; his gait
is numbering, and he is seldom seen on
the ground except where there Is an
animal carcass. -
But, of all the flights of our birds,
the buZZard's Is the most exhilarating,
and we never really appreciate 1t when
we are in hurried mood, or merely
glance up while we are walking, to see
a buzZard in the sky. One needs
leisure; and one should, preferably, lie
on the back, with hand shading against
the sun, and with a distant prospect OF
the Blue Ridge Mountains as frame
to the scene.
It Is said that our buzzard rises as
high as the condor-which Is to say
higher than the Andes. In times OF
thunderstorm he Is said to mount above
the clouds without the least difdculty
and let the elements rage below him.
Nicotine and Roses.
An old countryman who lives near me
may be seen by his neighbors, in the
cool of any Summer evening, blowing
smoke on his rosebushes. He asked me
once If it didn't do the bushes good.

prevarication and barren truth: my
answer was compromise. Nicotine"
told him, sis good for the rosebushes
and bad for the greenf1y." There really
were greenfiies on his rosebushes, and II
gave him an excuse for a pipe. OF
course, a little smoke didn't keep down
the greenfly. But why deprive him OF
his pleasure?

was gone for only o couple OF minutes.
When she returned her thimble was
missing Yes, sir, the thimble was miss

that she might have been abssntminded
and possibly have left the thimble
somewhere else. She went back to the
kitchen to see If she left it there. She
couldn't find it. Then she went out
doors to see If 1t had fallen on the
ground outside. She didn't find 1t there.
BY this time Mother Brown had
stopped humming. She was anxious to
finish her sewing. It was very annoying
to have lost the thimble. Moreover she
was puzzled. She couldn't understand
how she could have lost it.

worked she heard the voice of Jim Grow
down in the cornfield. You see, the

passably fair to look upon, she was able,
by wit, to arrive at a place where IA
nous beauties could not go.
Beginning at court in humble POSI-
ton in the household of Queen Philippa,
her diplomacy brought promotion as a
lady Of the chamber. This gave her
chance to ensnare the aging Edward.
The death of Philippa consolidated her
position.
Alice's reigning passion was avarice.
If she wheedled and cajoled Edward
III it was to gain riches. She sue
ceeded beyond her dreams. For time
she virtually ruled England.
The first recorded grant to her was
an annual allowance Of two tunS OF
wine, made In 1866. In 10 years she
became the proprietor of manors, lands
and tenements in IT counties. She &C
ouired possession of large quantities OF
Jewels and money and, four years after
the Queens death, she even obtained
her jewels.
Her graft in the disposal of public
offices, corners" In necessary com.
modities, and so forth, was enormous.
After Edwards death Alice spent hec-
tic years trying to retain her wealth,
of which the new King, Richard II, and
her numerous enemies sought to dis.
possess her. She lost many possessions,
but still was rich woman when she
died in 1400.

White and Yellow Peaches
~ LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

peach growing centers suits one or the
other variety best. which accounts for
the variableness in the preferences OF
persons. II you live where white
peaches mature better than yellow, you
naturally choose them and vice versa.
Cling-stone peaches are supposed to
have the finest flavor of all, but their
disadvantage outweigh their advan-
tage In most homemakers' minds. Clings
are often selected for sweet picking or
for canning when put UP whole. They
are not desirable for using fresh and
ripe in any way, for the pulp is too hard
to separate from the stones.
The following recipes are given es-
pecially for those who requested more
ways of serving the ripe fruit:
Peach Shortcake.-Make a short bis
and bake it in two layers. Slice three
quarters of cup of ripe peaches for
an average size cake. Cut them fine
or chop slightly ard sugar, prior to
baking the cake. When the cake is cold
spread one layer with the sugared
peaches. Cover with the other layer
Spread the top with whipped cream
II the cake is large enough. a second
small circle of peach segments can be
in the whipped cream.
Peach Shortcake-Make a short bis
cult dough. Bake in a round pan.
While hot, cut circle from the top.
leaving one inch all about the edge.
Pull out some of the inside, enough to
form a receptacle for sugared cut
peaches. Spread the inside OF this
shortcake lightly with butter before
putting In the peaches. Cover with the
circle of crust previously removed.
Spread with whipped cream, dot with
peach slices, and serve hot.
Peach Frappe.-Chop a cup of peach
pulp and mix with sugar until well
sweetened. Mix with one tablespoon
full Of powdered gelatin dissolved in
one tablespoonful cold water and melted
over hot water. Let stand until begin-
ming to harden. Whip one cup rich
cream and fold peaches and cream to-
gether. Pour into a mold and set on
the ice. Unmold and serve thoroughly
chilled.

The arched window-how 1t does
puzzle us when we have to plan for
draperies.
When we drive or walk along a street
and see an attractive house with
arched windows, it is very natural to
wish that we had some in our house:
but when we move into a house Of
our own that has them, we feel sure
that something ought to be done about
architects who include arched windows
in their plans.
Some me-furnishers ignore the
arched top as far as the interior is
concerned, accomplishing this by put

preserved there is much more charm to
the window and you will Immediately
