PERFUME FAVORED BY QUEENS Royal Family of England Remain Faithful to "Ess Bouquet"?Czar ina Is Fond of White Violet. y Queen Mary is not a lover of r^r fume. She uses eau de cologne occa sionally, but avoids scents as muc^ a* possible.

Her apartments in the royal palace are daily sprayed with essences of lilac, jasmine, and white violet. Her Maj esty's favorite essence is violet, and for several weeks in the early spring hundreds of women and girls may be seen at Grasse gathering the blos soms from which the Czarina's per fume is mode. The finished product is tested, bottle by bottle, at the St. Petersburg Academy of Chemistry before being sent to the imperial store.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR. "My momer usea 10 nave a very uau humor on her head which the doctors called an eczema, and for it I had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out In spite of what they both did. One day her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. She says, 'Aunt, wiy don't you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint ment?' Mother did and they helped her. In six months' time the itching, burning and scalding of her head was oyer and her hair began growing. To day she feels much in debt to Cuti cura Soap and Ointment, for the fin? head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four. "My own case was an eczema in my feet As soon as the cold weather came my feet would itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Then I thought I would flee to my mother's friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment I did for four or five winters, and row my feet are as -.smooth as any one's.

Archibald Terhune, a popular and In dolent young bachelor of London, i ceives news that he has been made heir to the estate of his Aunt Georgiana, with an Income of $20,000 a year, on condjtlon that he becomes engaged to be married within ten days. Falling to do so the legacy will go to a third couBln in Amer ica. The story opens, at Castle WyckofiC, where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends of Terhune, are discussing plans to find him a wife within the* prescribed time. It seems that Lady Vincent Is one of seven persons named Agatha, all close girlhood chums. She decides to irtvlte two of them to the castle and have Archie there as one of the guests. Agatha Sixth strikes Archie as a handpalnted beauty. Agatha First Is a breezy American girl. Lady Vincent tells her husband that Agatha Sixth already cares for Archie. He gains from Agatha Sixth the admission that he cares for him, but vill require a month's time fully tq make up her mind, Agatha First, neglected by Terhune, re ceives attentions from Leslie Freer. Four days of the precious time have passed when Terhune is called to London on business. Agatha First, on the plea of sickness, excuses herself from a motor, trip planned by the Vincents. Later they see Agatha First picking floWbra with a strange man. The Vincents discuss Agatha's seeming duplicity. CHAPTER VI.?Continued. "Our marriage," I corrected. "Naturally," sue saia lnaujgenuy and laughed. "But I 've always ad mired her," she went on; "she's so big and strong and has such tre [mendous vital force. I'm a little sur prised that any one of such an open 1 'character could develop into such a J plotter. It's al\ so frightfully under- c hand somehow. Why can't she come and tell me frankly all about It, * whatever it Is?" - 1 ' "Perhaps Mrs. Chiltern could throw some light on the subject," I sug gested. c , "I shouldn't wonder at all!" ex- t (claimed Dearest. "Agatha First t stayed much longer with her than Agatha Sixth did. I shall telephone i her in the morning. What a smart t little boy it is, to be sure, to think of-"a that!" And I was more than paid for my happy thought by a li&ir of exquisite arms about my neck. i "I wonder what they'll have to say c for themselves when they come in?" t I said as we were going down to the drawing-room a little later. t "0, they won't come in together," j said my wife; "that would be too j much of a give away." And just then t we perceived Agatha First standing , at the foot of the stair-case waiting for us. She was alone, as Dearest r had prophesied ehe would he. ( "Hello!" she greeted us composed- ? ly. "Was It a nice party? Did you t miss me?" And although I couldn't ( help thinking there was a new beau- c ty ahout the girl in the unusual bril liance of her dark eyes and the deep er glow of her color as she stood there, I thought such cheek deserved ^ a cropper. I "Rippin!" I said, before Dearest c could answer. "But where have you s been? I thought you were supposed j to be on the sick list today." But she didn't seem a bit embarrassed. "I j was," she replied. "I didn't really ; (feel like going way over to North- t bury with you, but I thought a little j outing would do my head good, so I c went for a stroll." "I see!" I said, and thought with E [indignation of the scene in the woods i ieven as I noticed that the young lady j :did not wear the pongee auto coat ? she had worn then, "Left it in the machine, probably, to prevent sus picion!" I thought to myself, while Doarest said sweetly: "Th, nice, I dear; I'm glad you felt lifce feoing. , Run along now and get ready for i dinner. It's almost eight." i It was what we called between our- s selves "The Incident or tne unecKea < Coat" that really decided my wife t to consult Mrs. Chlltern about Aga tha First's strange behavior. j The morning was fine and we had 1 planned to take our guests to see some Interesting ruins not quite 12 1 miles away, where an automobile was t to meet us at noontime with luncheon, t hetically Upon It. ma MAS?R} I AH A(BATFDQ^ MA/nstr (WM/f/rr/ff cfiur M/w/r Dearest had been delayed with naklng arrangements for our picnic, nd the others, the Inevitable Freer, Lrch and the two Agathas, had start id slowly on ahead. We could hear their voices In the ;ardens below our windows as she urriedly got Into some walking hlngs. I had of course waited for ter. "I don't know but I'll go up into Perhune's room," I said, when I had Inished lacing her long boots, "and ee if I can't find that old fishing hat ti.mlne I used to sport last summer, think I saw It up there. I hate to be o dressy on a tramp like this!" And threw my panama on a chair in dis :ust. ' "It's In the "closet," she replied; third. shfelf. I put it there myself, ["hough what you want with that old htng when you have boxes and oxes full of good hats I can't im igine!" "Nothing like being comfortable!*' shouted, as I ran up the broad stairs ?utside the door three steps at a ime. Dearest was all ready and waiting irhen I came down again, but I didn't leea to speaK 10 miorm uer wai omething had happened. She saw it ly my face. "What Is it, Wilfred?" Bhe asked. 'You look as if you'd seen a ghost!" 'T have.'" I answered, "or 'some hing quite as startling! I say, Agatha, what do you think I found in ild Arch's closet?" "Your hat, just as I told you you vould! What else?" But I knew she mew I didn't mean that. "Why, nothing more nor less than i loud checked automobile coat, or luster!" I replied in measured ones. "Now, what do you think of ,hat?" J "Not like the coat you saw hang ng over the back of the machine in he woods?" expostulated Dearest, ighast. "Not that coat, Wilfred?" "The very same, or its twin broth er," I told her. "Come, now, isn't that i go!" But my wife was out of the loor and half way up to the third loor by that time. "I've got to see!" she cried back .0 me, and I went up after her, al hough I knew it wouldn't be any use lor seeing it, since she had not seen he one in the automobile. "It surely is!" she exclaimed as I >tood by her side. "A checked auto nobile coat! Did you ever, Freddy, lid you ever!" And she held it up tnd looked it over from collar to coat ail as if it were enchanted and :ould tell us more than our own eyes :ould gather. "Yes." I said, "the very same!" "Then it must have been Terhune!" "Beyond a doubt!" I answered houghtfully. "But isn't it too queer! n tho first place I didn't know he :ould handle a machine, and in the econd, where did he get it from. 3y Jove!" "And why does he have to meet Agatha First in secret that way?" vondered my wife as we left the cas le and started for the scene of the jicnic by a series of short cuts the >thers did not know. But all our marvelling brought as 10 enlightment, only the conclusion on Dearest's part that she would consult Urs. Chiltern on the subject aB soon ls an opportunity presented itself. OUA OTCD \/| | v^nnr i un via* We arrived at the group of ruins vhich formed the goal of our walk n good time, although the others vere there ahead of us and were Just spreading a cloth and taking thing*? jut of the automobile which had met hem there, as we came up. "Hurry up, slow coaches!" called Agatha First cheerily, "or we won't eave you anything to eat!" "Lend me a hand with this cloth, /lncent!"- was Terhune's request, md I fell to with a will and had the ;hing right In a jiffy. And maybe ft wasn't good fun sit ting there on a lot of jolly boulders and cluxips of rock that I had col lected with great pains and arranged at Intervals about the cloth, grinning at each other across its goodly array of picnic dainties. Dearest is a famous hand at plan ning that sort of thing. We had camped upon a small rise in the mid dle of an open space where great oak trees cut. us off from sight of the road on the one hand, and broad meadows and wooded slopes fell away toward Hartsmere stream on the other; the latter streaking the green of it all with silver a field or two away. Close at hand the ruined chapel or convent which we had come to see piled itself in picturesque confusion, and we had reached that point in our merry-making when we were simply content to gaze apathetically upon it and listen uncomprehendingly to Freer recite its history with never flagging accuracy and zeal. He knows everything, that chap! And is disgustingly ready to give everybody else the benefit of his learning at all times. Agatha First was sitting near him tho' not making any attempt to dis guise her indifference to his pedantic discourse, while Arch and Agatha Sixth, 1 am glad to nay, were candy ing on a whispered conversation to gether on the other side of the cloth. Dearest and I sat together, of course, at one end of the square, and as I said to her in a low tone so that the others could not hear I thought Arch was playing up to the part she and I had selected for him, that of Agatha Sixth's lover, a little better than us ual. He was certainly all attention to the girl at his side and listened to her every word with the eager inter est of the most devoted suitor. And the delicate face of Miss Lawrence was alive with feeling and glowed pink even without the aid of the rose colored parasol she carried. "O, what do you think!" she cried In her soft, cultivated voice, "Mr. Ter hune Bays that the ruins are haunted! By the ghost of a nun that was shut up in the wall once!" Her really won derful black eyes were bright with interest and I thought she made a rather dazzling picture in her white frock and the fictitious aureole of pink sunshade about her. But I couldn't swallow a bare-faced whop per like that, for tnat nun. story is so old. So I had just begun to ex plain that Arch was chaffing her, and the ghost racket his own invention entirely, when I caught his expres sion and my wifo's eye. The former was embarrassed ana tne lauer se vere, and I stopped in the middle of a sentence as I fathomed the com bined significance of eye and look. "So that's it, is it?" I thought to myself. "Poor old boy! He's so much in love he doesn't know what he's saying. Anything will do as long as she will listen! And I'm deuced glad to see it, too!" But Freer showed less perspicacity, though of course there's this to be said, he didn't have the l*ey to the situation as I did, and challenged poor' old Arch's story of the nun, and iu five minutes had him 6howed up proper, the old fellow at last having to take refuge in the statement that it must have been some other ruins he had in mind. Strange to say, however, for all his learning Freer did not win a smile from Agatha Sncth, who only turned to Terhune with more interest than ever as a result of his efforts. It was then that Dearest made her remark about motoring over to see Mrs. Chiltera on the following day. It was an innocent enough remark and very casually said, but it seenn ed to have an electrifying effect upon Agatha First. She jumped up and came over to my wife. "Don't do that!" she said, low and earnestly; "please don't. Agatha, dear!" Dearest was surprised, and, by Jove, so was I, or puzzled, at least! The girl seemed eo awfully earnest about not wishing us to sete ivirs. jouinerii?uui ut an piujjui uuu to the Importance of' her request, it seemed to me. "But why not?" my wife couldn't help asking. "Because we have such a little time left to be together, you and Lord Vincent and Mr. Terhuno arid Agatha Sixth and myself," she said. "Mr. Terhuno tells me he has to go back to London in a day or two, and I think it's a shame to wasto a whole day by going over to Cbiltern house! Besides, you said they owed you a call!" She had lowered her voice during this last statement, but it was not necessary. Freer had strolled off to the ruins and Archibald and Agatha Sixth were too absorbed in each oth er's company to notice us. Her reasons were specious and Il logical enough, but Dearest, to my surprise, seemed inclined to accept them and I had to interfere. "They do owe us a call," I said, "but that wouldn't prevent us from having a jolly time of it if we all chose to go over together! On the contrary, it would be something to do!" Then Agatha First, evidently goad ed into a corner, set her young face in a fashion that was almost desper ! ate. "But Agatha Fourth?Mrs. Chil tern?isn't there!" she declared. "She told me she was going down to Lon don for a week or two!" Dearest stared at her, but she did not ask her. as I wanted to do, why she hadn't said so in the first place. Instead she took pity on Agatha First's white face, for the girl had actually turned pale, and assured ner charitably that she had entirely given up all thought of an expedition to Chiltern house, though, as I told her afterward, obviously the young lady was cramming her. But Dearest has the kindest heart in the world. (TO BE CONTINUED.) It Sounded Hopeful. A young man who was not particu larly entertaining was monopolizing the attention of a pretty debutante with a lot of uninteresting conversa tion. "Now, my brother," he remarked in the course of a dissertation on hte family, "is just the opposite of me in every respect. Do you know my brother?" "No," the dehutante replied demure ly, "but I eliould like to."?Human Uto. REVIEW AND CHRISTMAS Stmday School Lesion for Dec. 25, 1910 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT-Luke 2:6-20.

CHRISTMAS-"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which Is Christ the Lord."?Luke 2:11. Jesus Christ brought into the world for every person two ideals or goals of life, but these two are so interwov en together that no one can realize either ideal or reach either goal with out the Other. One is personal, the other social. The personal ideal is perfection of character and of the whole being in heavenly beauty and power: and this going on forever in an unending development. It is to bring in^to our lives the highest and best, in order that we may use them l'or the service of man or God. Peter wished to abide on the moun tain of Transfiguration, but Jesus sent him down into the sinful and suffering world, carrying his vision with him, in order to do his common duties with the highest motives, and to fight his battles with the assurance of victory. Now just here lies the blessing of Christmas. It is good to dwell on what the cpming of Jesus means to us, and to give many gifts of love; but the full blessing comes only as we carry the same vision, the same spirit of giving, into all the following year. The second blessing of Christmas is the social transformation of this world into the kingdom of heaven, where all the inhabitants live accord ing to the laws that make heaven what it is; where all social arrange ments are fof- the best good and hap piness of every citizen, where all busi ness is done according to the Golden Rule of love; where all have the com forts, the wealth, the education, the enjoyments, the power of service, which he can use. In a word, it Is the answer to our daily prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done." The "noble ten" is the well-earned title which ten Chinese men gained for themselves by passing an examina tion which made very evident their knowledge of the Bible. This Bible knowledge examination was held in Hu-nan, China, some time ago. The syilabus of the examination, which is given herewith, was long and compre hensive and it meant the hardest kind Df work for the competing Chinese, who, just a very few years ago, seemed uterly incapable of spiritual aspira tion. They worked strenuously for six months and the outcome was absolut ely amazing. Today it is a question how many churches in the entire Christendom could be found with ten men who know the Bible as these men do. Through the generosity of an Eng lish (gentleman and some Austrian friends, a very attractive prize was of fered to each successful competitor, consisting of a handsomely morocco bound, gilt-edged, Mandarin Bible. Eight secured 98 per cent, or over of the syllabus, and two 92 per cent. The Bibles were presented by Mrs. Clin ton, a daughter of one of the Man darin translators. The effect of this Bible study is most marked in prayer. It is said that rarely do mature Christians of other lands blend the promises and other words of scripture so beautifully in their petitions as do these Chinese. It is suggested that our readers test their knowledge of the word by these questions. Old Testament: Repeat names of Old Testament books. Repeat Gene sis I.
