ALEXANDRIA AT HOMB..
Hlmply Everyday Life of the Quaes)
of England A Great letter Writer.
Pew people can realize the com
parative simplicity of the everyday
life of Queen Alexandria, especially
tven 'In P'-ntlnM nr at Sanrlrlrtg
t.u.Li. ,'h,,e hi Norfolk the Uucen
spends much of her time in the open
air, walking, driving and doing
short expeditions In ber motor car.
Af'nr brrokfast . s he and one or
more of the several ladles who may
be staying in the house make an
expedition to kennels, stable and
poultry yard to feed and Interview
the favorite dogs, horses and poul
try of the establishment. In the af
ternoon a drive is arranged, and the
evenings pass cheerily with music,
cards and conversation. Dinner at
Sandringham is always at 8:45.
(t may be mentioned that the roy
al servants' liveries have a quaint,
old world appearance and are dif
ferent in cut to those seen else
where. The coals are scarlet, msde
In the swallowtail style, with dark
blue waistcoats edged by narow gold
braid. The men wear no collars,
but have gold stocks; and white sat
in breeches and white allk stockings
complete their stately costume. All
the royal men servants are over six
feet In height.
The Queen Is an Indefatigable let
ter writer. She has been known to
write as many as forty letters In
one day with her own hand; and
Miss Knoliys, ber lady In waiting,
often would get through a hundred,
all written under the Queen's per
sonal supervision. Queen Alexan
dria's note paper Is cream colored
anil rather rough with the royal
crown and address In dark blue and
of the simplest design.
During the shooting season the
Queen sen-is a great deal of game
to her own particular friends, and
the hampers are labelled "With the
Queen's compliments." At Christ
mas time she often presents her In
timates with a signed photograph of
herself In silver frame. Queen
Alexandria Is a keen photographer
and has transferred some of ber
photographs onto china.

appear to be a very Important addi

time saving devices, but second
thought will show that It has III usca
A USEFUL PINCUSHION,
and that tbey are not so insignificant
cfter all. It is a borsesboe-shaped
affair, with a bowed, clamping spring
arrange' Inside, tnd It fastens on
the arm of a sewing machine whenever-it
la needed. Ihe operator can
thus have a cushion full of plus right
at her band, where she can get them
without stopping the machine or de
laying her work for an Instant. On
ly a woman who Joes a great deal
of sewing can appreciate the time
and trouble that will be saved by this

"We ran out of tobacco while fish
ing In the Canadian wilds." said a
clubman. "Our guides put up on to
killikinnlck. and we smoked that for
ten days. It wasn't bad.
"Killikinnlck Is the inner bark of
the red willow. You dry it, then you
cut it up. It really tastes like to
bacco. The Indians always use It
when they can't get the real thing,
and I understand that there are cer
tain brands of Cauadian tobacco that
are flavored with killikinnlck."

IT THE IIB STATIC -
Wlif the Prond Father Was Mistakes
For One In Trouble.
John Joggles la the happy father
of thirteen youngsters, and ha la
proud of them all. But being the
psrent of such a large family has Its
drawbacks, as John occasionally
learns to his cost.
The other day he decided to give
them a little holiday, and, accom
panied by Mrs. Joggles and the whole
of his olive branches, he proceeded
to the railway station. The proces
sion seemed to Invoke merriment la
all who witnessed It, and sundry re
marks were directed to the proud
parent, which only made him feel
more proud.
The porter's ejaculation on seeing
the little gathering, however, quite
hurt poor Joggles' feelings, and It
was quite unintentional on the rail
way man's part, too.
"Hullo," he said critically, "what
'are you been doing?"
Poor John stared vacantly, and
etiswered, "Nothing! Why?"
"Then," remarked the porter,
"what's all this blooming crowd fol
lerln' yer for?"
The Retort Lethal.
The eyes are the baseball umpire's
staff of life. Of what use would his
knowledge and honesty be unless he
were absolutely certain of every play
that he rules upon? His sight, near
or far, must be discriminatingly ac
curate. He ceases to be an uaiptre
the moment bis sight flickers.
Captain John McGraw of the
Giants, was at bat one day in a hard
fought game. The Chicago pitcher
sent over a wide one which John
Judged would be a mere "ball" to
help him on his way to first base;
but the ball took a sudden Inshoot
and barely cut the corner of the
plate as John stood idle.
"Str-r-rke one!" shouted the one
and only Tim Hurst, who was um
piring. "Strike?" shouted McGraw.
"Strike? Why, you mush-beaded
old blankety-b-i-i-x-z-z, you're losin'
your lamps!"
"Cut that out about the lamps!"
was all Hurst said In reply. Harp

Too Good for This World.
Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual-looking
child, according to Suc
cess. "Nurse," he said one day, leaving
Ms blocks and laying bis hand gent
ly on her knee, "nurse, la this Ood's
day?"
"No, dear," said his nurse, "this
Is not Sunday. It is Thursday."
"I'm so sorry." he said sadly, and
went back to bis blocks.
The next day and the next. In his
serious manner, he asked the same
question, and the nurse tearfully aald
to the cook, "That child is too good
for this world."
On Sunday the question was re
peated, and the nurse with a sob In
her voice said, "Tea, Lambie. This
la God's day."
"Then where la the funny paper?"

"I lately passed through Nut

lights, put the danger lantern at the
street crossing, poat the train on
the bulletin board, operate the tele

messages."
"Heavens! Was. he doing all
that?"
"No; he was asleep."
Ins and Outs.
"Where is Mr. Middleman?" asked
the caller at the broker'a office.
"I think he's out on a little mat

"Out long?"

WOMEN 0VERD0 IT
WE ARE BECOMING A PEOPLE
OF HARD-RIDDEN fAI)9.
One of the Chief Dangers of the
Age Too Many Theories of Life
The Food Faddist at Fault.
By Roxanna Queen.
- "That poor child was washed Into
heaven," said a witty woman when
hearing of the death of a friend's
young daughter. "The mother was
a believer in cleanliness and little
Sussnne was the victim.
"The youngster was always put
In the tun morning, noon, and night,
and many Is the day I've known ber
to have four or five baths. She waa
a peaky little thing, sick half tb
time, but the doctors could not make
ber mother realize that keeping the
pores open did not mean an orgy
of bathing."
Th chief danger of the age Is
overdoing. We have so many theo
ries of life that often we are worse
off than without any. An overdose
benefit Is like an overcooked steak;
the best Is lost.
Few of ns realize the distinction
between a good thing and a too good
thing, which la one cause that we are
becoming a people of hard-ridden
fade.
The woman who Is too fat la told
to reduce. Now, reducing Is all
light, but rapid flesh shedding Is a
disease breeder. To reduce In mod
oration Is well; to live for reducing
Is a virtue overdone.
Perhaps our fat friend la told to
exercise. Does she go In for a brisk
walk twice a day and gentle calis
thenics morning and evening? Not
she. She walks until she Is ready
to drop with fatigue, and bends,
turns snd twists like an aspiring
contortionist until she loses her
good looks snd good health alcng
with her flesh.
If dieting is the order aha draws
no line between starving an J pru
dent eating; wrinkles and dyspepsia
follow.
A lengthened waistline usually
means a belt dropped almost to ber
knees In front and a figure that is
a caricature In Its shortness of legs.
The food faddist Is In special need
of learning that well done is not
overdone. Who has not been pes
tered with friends who, being told
that the hot water cure Is the last
thing In cure-alls, treat themselves
like the tank of a locomotive, or
who sneer at beef-eaters when they
become nipped with vegetarianism.
It is well to bring up children
carefully, It Is overdoing to bring
them up so carefully that their
young Uvea are made miserable by
rules and regulations, and they are
robbed ot childhood's heritage of
romping.
The successes In life are not al
ways the boys and girls whose par
ents have advanced Ideas In child
training. Perfection forced Into too
close range has a way of getting
distorted.
A mother with ultra views of de
corum waa horrified to see her 15-year-old
daughter smoke a cigarette
and dance a skirt dance for the
amusement of her friends ths first
time she went unchaperoned. The
girl explained that waa like a der
vish running amuck from an over
dose of goodness.
The sanitariums are full because
women do not seem able to learn
that to work Is well; to overwork
Is nervous prostration.
Tell an Indlscrlmlnatlng woman
that the polite hostess Is never Inat
tentive to ber guests, and that Is ths
bouse where the guest feels like
shrieking "For beaven's sske give
me a minute alone!" There's noth
ing more tiresome than overdone
hospitality.
The crank la usually the person
who overrides a good lde.
To make pleasant remarks means
popularity; to always make pleasant
remarks Is sychophancy or Insincer
ity. Solid reading Is good; nsver to
read anything in lighter vein Is to
hsvs a brain with as few high lights
aa a silhouette.
To learn that well done la not
overdone Is the surest safeguard
against life's excesses. Moderstlon
msy not be exciting, but it wears
well.
Queens Who Smoke.
Somehow It seems unlmsglnable
that Queen Alexandra or the German
Lm press or the Queen of Rumania
should have taken to the "cigarette
habit," to which most of ths younger
consorts of European rulers confess,
fet Carmen Sylva Is on a list of
"Queens who smoke" which bas Just
been published, snd explains that she
has never yet put a poetic thought
Into writing without that beat of
lerve soothers, the cigarette, be
tween her tips. Ths Dowager Em
press of Russia, Queen Amelia of
Portugal and the Dowager Queen of
Spain are also among the smokers,
and, of the younger generation, the
empress of Russia, who had never
smoked a cigarette before her mar
riage, la now probably the one whose
dally allowance of cigarettes Is ths
largest. But, then, "ladles' cigar
ettes" In Russia are of the mildest
kind almost as mild as chocolate
Imitations.
