PERFUME FAVORED BY QUEENS

Faithful to "Ess Bouquet"?Czar

y Queen Mary is not a lover of r^r
fume. She uses eau de cologne occa
sionally, but avoids scents as muc^

the writer recently ;shat neither is
Queen Alexandra very fond of per
fumes, although she remains faithful
to the "Ess Bouquet," which has
been in use by the royfU family of
England since 1S22. This p6ifume Is

passionately fond of perfume. 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

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.
The Queen Mother of Spain uses as
permume eau d'espagne, manufactured
In Madrid, and also obtains a per
fume for lier toilet from Paris. Its
composition is a secret which the
perfume eau d'espagne, manufactured
made," he says, "of rosev.-ater, cocoa
nut oil, and?the rest is a mystery."
The young Queen of Holland is a
great believer in the virtues of eau
de cologne; while "Carmen Sylvia,"
Queen of Roumania, uses a special
perfume made from the finest herbs,
which she says "is the best tonic for
the skin she has yet discovered."
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

"I had written a modern society nov

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

miles away, where an automobile was t
to meet us at noontime with luncheon, t

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;

["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.

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

GOLDEN TEXT. 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.

Tribute to Painter's Skill.
One of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen in the museum at
The Hague was recently injured, but
It Is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents a basket of
fruit on which a number of insects
have gathered. On a pale yellow ap
ple, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster of fruit, is a large fly, painted
so true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was

EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food. ^
The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or Indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation," writes a Michigan lady,
"my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was 'vora
cious, but when indulged, Indigestion
followed. Other times I had no appe
tite whatever. The food I took did not
nourish me and I grew weaker than
ever.
"I lost interest In everything and
wanted to be alone. I had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on a violent
headache. Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out of the question.
"I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read at the
time. At last when it seemed as if I
was literally starving, I began to eat
Grape-NutB.
"I had not been able to work for a
year, but now after two months on
Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work
.jain, My stomach gives me no trou
ble now, my nerves are steady as ever,
and interest in life and ambition have
come back with the return to health."
