The Due de Berry. second son of
Charles x of France, who married
Caroline Ferdinande, daughter Of Ferdi-
nand I, King of Naples, and had by
her son, Henri, who was legitimate
heir to the throne OF France, had a
strong presentiment that he would die
by assassination.
One day, while riding with his
brother, the Dauphin, heir to the throne,
the Due de Berry said:
1.-The object of the revolutionary
party is to cut of our whole race; one
solitary murder - that of yourself -
would not answer the purpose; but
have daughter, and may have other
children, therefore I shall be marked
out for destruction: I feel that the
blow is inevitable, and am resigned to
my fate"
AS this statement indicates, the dues
presentiment was not so much a pre-
sentiment as a common sense deduction
from known facts. He belonged to the
period between the first and second re-
.publics, when the restored monarchy
clung to its position precariously, and
before long lost it. He was, indeed, to
have another child, the above-men-
toned Henri, and when Charles x was
forced from the throne in 1880, because
Of his arbitrary and retrogressive reign,
he abdicated in favor of this same
Henri. The latter can scarcely be said
to have become king, for the Due
dOrleans, Louis Philippe, was at once
substituted for him by popular will.
But If the Due de Berry'S Rnticipa-
ton Of assassination was based merely
upon reasonable expectation, and not
upon some super-normal warning, q
dream that he had just q few weeks
prior to his murder by the knife-wield-
ing Louvel, in 1890, can scarcely be so
classified.
In the dream events proceeded in this
manner:
The due stood at night at the win
dow of his apartment in the Tuileries,
overlooking the gardens, and, beyond
the iron ratings which bordered the
Rue de Rivoli, the street. He was &C
companied by two individuals who seem
to have had no identity.
Thus standing the due perceived the
Rue de Rivoli filed with people Pres
emily these separated, maSsing them
selves on either side of the street and
through the lane thus created, appeared
grand funeral procession, evidently
that of a person of Importance.
The Duo de Berry turned to one of
the bystanders.
Whose funeral is passing?" he asked.
1T is that of M. Greffu1he," was the
reply.
This astonished the due. His friend
NJ. Greffulhe, was not in the best Of
health, but apparently no dangerous
illness threatened him
The procession passed, but 1t was
scarcely out of sight when another cav
alcade made its appearance. 1t was far

Family Program.

In the financial program for .
family, special needs and special cases
would require particular treatment.
Our plan today is just a general one,
and one that will be suggestive to all.
Insurance should receive first at
tention Two good reasons may be adj
vanced for that In the first place,
insurance Is cheapest when taken out in
youth.
In the second place, it sets up at once
an estate which death can create but
not wipe out.
BY putting of insurance coverage,
one may not only increase its cost, carry
risks one cannot afford to be burdened
with to undermine ones whole program
1t is also possible that when ones
husband finally applies for insurance,
he will fail to qualify for physical
reasons.
Insurance comes first. The amount
Of the yearly premium should be de-
Quoted in ones budget or plan Of ex-
penditures from income. The balance
is the net income upon which one
should resolve live.
To invest one must save, and to
save one must still further reduce the
income That is, the net income. The
amount one can save will depend, of
course, on the family's income
Family incor.es of $4,000 or less can
scarcely support insurance and afford an
additional 10 per cent for savings.
Usually the income and ones stand
ard of living influence to a large de-
gree ones financial aspirations in the
future. Having set ones goal, 1t is a

BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

If baby has no teeth at the age when
he should be expected to have some,
one of the following causes is probably
to blame: Insufficient food, improper
food, or serious illnesses.
More babies are underfed than over
fed. Mothers are still not universally
aware of the importance of prenatal
diets for themselves and of the ire
mendous and vital need for the right
growing" foods for their babies the
first year. Serious illnesses, which pre-
vent proper feeding and drain the
baby's vitality, make teething more
difficult and delayed.
Babies may be fat and still be poorly
fed. There are fat-making foods which
turn the baby into little dumping but
do not furnish him adequate material
for building strong bones and teeth.
The following letter unfortunately de-
mands that I be clairvoyant: "Our
baby is almost a year old and has no
teeth" Mrs. E. p. writes. Il have wor-
ried quite a bit and finally decided to
tell you our troubles. Please answer
through your department"
With no information as to the baby's
birth weight and present weight or of
the present manner of feeding 1t is i'm
possible to point out any flaws in the
diet of any person for the delayed
teething.
The chances are that the baby has
been nursed too long, or has been eX-
clusively milk fed too long, and has
lacked all the additional foods which
are important in the diet the first year.
Or perhaps Mrs. E. p has neglected to
give sufficient amounts of cod-liver oil
to furnish baby that vitamin D element
which is encouraging to the growth of
good bones and teeth.
Perhaps this typical menu for the
year-old child will open your eyes to

ment. At one year baby should be en-
tirely weaned from the breast, getting

which deserve unqualified approval,
provided they are used only by physi-
clans or those with special training
First, the inhalator, a mere rubber bag,
by means of which the patient while
receiving Schafer's prone-preSsure re-
suscitation may have oxygen or air
mixed with perhaps per cent of car
bon dioXide to inhale. Wherever and
whenever such an inhalator is at hand
1t is a great help in the reSuScitation
Every hospital should have inhalators
ready for all emergency calls. Firemen
and policemen should be compelled to
keep their hands off all such treatment
It is not so much for the oxygen adj
ministered by the inhalator, but rather
fer the carbon dioxide, which is the
natural stiTnulant to the respiration.
This effect of the inhalator makes it a
valuable agent in the treatment Of va
rious conditions in which the breathing
is shallow or enfeebled.
The other piece of apparatus which
has proved of real value is a metal
cabinet just large enough to accommo-
date the patients body. There is an
adjustable rubber diaphragm, or collar,
so that the patients head remains out
side of the cabinet. There is an cleo
trio motor which can be regulated so
that the air pressure around the pa
TENTS body within the cabinet may be
varied from slightly less than natural
atmospheric pressure to slightly more
These rhythmic variations of pressure
serve to initiate and debate the chest
regularly, as in natural breathing. This
apparatus has shown itself particularly
life-saving in cases of paralysis of the
respiratory muscles. In such cases any
other known methods of artificial respira-
ton becomes in itself an ordeal for
both the patient and the attendants
of the apparatus many victims Of in
fantile paralysis otherwise doomed to
succumb may be saved. A smaller size
adapted for the establishment of respira-
ton in feeble or prematurely born in
fants, Is being used with happy results
in various progressive hospitals.

makes a point Of wearing severely plain
clothes. Don't try to disguise your suit
by pinning novelties on 1t. Don't try
to make your plain dinner dress look

"And don't try to take a great va

plain, nice outfit every morning and
the same dress each evening, that's all
that will be expected of you"
Janet looked little relieved, but
still doubtfully she asked: But how
about the knowing which is the right
fork?"
I told her that many an important
person is in doubt when faced with all
array of forks and spoons IT hope your
boss has one of those elegant houses
where only the silver for one or two
courses is laid down at once. But, If
not, and If you can't watch his wife to

like Won't it be awful if use the wrong
fork?' or I wonder what fish would
taste like If used a meat fork on it.

Don't worry about your table man
ners. I've never seen a girl in an Office
who didn't have nice table manners.
Indeed, some of the worst table man
ners I've seen came from important
people who were too absorbed in affairs
to notice how they ate"
In short, told Janet: IF you're

more magnificent than the first. It was
apparent that the dead person thus
honored was of the highest station, prob
ably Of royalty.
Whose funeral is thisP" asked the
due.
The bystander replied: 'It is that of
the Due de Berry"
The due took this ominous dream
to mean that his end was drawing
near. And since he was in good health
he judged that 1t would be violent, as he
had long anticipated. However, since
he was, as he had told the Dauphin, re-
signed to his fate, he made no change
in his mode of living and went about
as usual.
A few nights later he attended q
grand ball given by NJ Greffuhle at his
hotel in the Rue d'Artois. When he left
he was escorted by his host to his car
rage.
It was very cold night and NJ. Gref-
fuhle was bareheaded. He was struck
by sudden chill and took to his bed
with fever which ended his life in
few days.
Less than q week later the knife Of
Louvel laid the Due de Berry low.
A contemporary writer says that the
dues dream may be accounted for by
his previous forebodings, and the APP
prehension that the approaching ball
might be selected as the scene Of the
impending danger"
If the circumstances, however. were
as they have been recorded, this ex-
PLANTATION Is not sufficient. The due
had no reason to believe that M Gref-
fuhle was near death and so the dream
perception Of that individuals funeral
was psychic. It Is interesting, too, that
the two funerals in the dream took place
in the same order as in actualitY
Finally, Notwithstanding his apprehen-
sions. which extended over a period Of
years, the DUO does not appear to have
had previously any dreams or visions
in which his dissolution was plainly
indicated.

Since Christmas many living rooms
can boast of beautiful new high-back
chairs with choice upholstery, and of
new davenports equally well covered.
It is the wish of every competent home
maker to preserve the beauty of this
upholstery without detracting in any
way from it. 1t becomes necessary
then, to supply these pieces of furniture
with adequate protection in the shape
of what once were called anti-macas-
sars. but now go under the term of
chair backs. Arm pieces are also de-
sirable in overstuffed furniture.
The least noticeable chair backs Of a
decorative sort. are fashioned of high
grade of theatrical gauze matching the
color Of the upholstery and embroidered
in self-toned medium. The embroid-
cry can be in cross-stitch, each square
mesh being considered as one square of
canvas. Adjoining stitches are taken
about the sameNStrand in the weave.
The design can ne run as in darning
stitch. If the medium is fine, weave
it twice or thrice through the spaces in
each row. The stitches should alter
nate in the weaving to keep the medium
well separated so that it will fill the
mesh. A coarse. medium works up faster
as one weaving through the mesh in

each row will fill the spaces. But the
work Is not nearly so beautiful as when
the medium is fine and woven through
more often as described.
CrosS-stitch patterns can be used eff
fectively. A row of Towering plants
in little pets makes a dainty decora-
ton, pattern that can be had by
sending a request and inclosing self
addressed and stamped envelope to-
gether with cents in stamps to Lydia

Around the design make a border Of
rows of straight weaving, and hem
stitch the turned in hem. Or if you
would like a floral border you can get
this also If you inclose 10 cents IN
stamps and ask for both designs.
When q chair is upholstered to order,
and pieces of the textile are available,
a chair back is effectively made from
a piece of this fabric fitted to the chair
and made to slip on ever the back. Fin

Schafer's prone-pressure method Of
