St. Moritz Is proving a magnet for many traveling Americans, attracted perhaph by its celebrity as the scene of the international romance between Missl Mathilde McCormick and her riding master, which is still in an in- conclusive state. Mr. A. B. ton, the American amb Germany, is staying there at present with his daughters, and a large party f Chiagoans recently reglstered in the Palace Hotel, which includes Mr. Edward T. Gibbons, Mr. and J. B. van der. Carr and Mr. and M R. C. Preston. Dr. and Mrs. Jggne Hill who recently closed their shington home, will stay for weeks at Suvretta House, when they conclude their visit to London. All the Swiss resorts have charged what seemed an exhoritant price compared with pre-war rates. and this summer sees no decline. But the Swiss at least makes one rge for every- thing and the visitor knows the worst at once. That department of the Italian cabinet which looks after hotels and pensions is almost swamped with complaints about some of the hotels in the lake reglon and in Turin and Milan, which charge so much for a room and then add 10 per cent for light, towels, etc. Mr. Chi}d, the ambassador, has been so besélged that it looks 'as though the American embassy will get entangled in this tourist rate controversy. Prices in Genoa have called forth protests from every government represented at that _international which recently adjourned. whole, Americans abroad wiser ' to cling to the old routes through the British Belgium, Holland and_ France, lea ing_Switzerland and Ttaly for hap- pier ‘and more composed davs. Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Laughlin need not fear .any annoyance, for they have leased for the summer one of the loveliest villas in that enchanted region along Lake Como In Italy® After passing some days in London and Paris they will leave for Milan, thence to their poetic_home, known in the vicinity as Villa Philiana, which lies over the exquisite lake so dear to romancers and on the southern boundary of the tiny bay of Molina. The villa is of white marble and re- sembles strongly the palaces along the Grand Canal in Venice, and a wide flight of stairs leads down from inner court to the water's edge. The present villa Is presumed to occupy the site of the pleasure house of the elder Plini. was erected In 1547 by Count Aguissola and was frequently the home of the tyrants of Milan. the Farneses. Its present owner is a Parisian who purchased it during the months immediately after the armi- stice. but.who prefers life on the boulevards rather than the sylvan joys of the Italian lake region. A close neighbor to the Laughlins is the villa of the American foundry mag- nates, the Clark Fishers, and at the other side {s that exquisite jewel called Villa Taverna, owned by a fa- vorite lady in waiting of Queen Mar- gharita and where she frequently spends many weeks in the summer. When Mr. Oscar T. Crosby of New York and Virginia was assistant sec- retary of the Treasury, his daughter, formerly Miss Miriam Crosby, and a well known belle of Washington in the late nineties, now Countess Caric- clolo de Melito, and her handsome Rusband, Count Mario. were fre- quently ‘seen in the cosmopolitan set of Washington. Count Marlo pos- sessed a romantic personality and a fine baritone voice, and the news that he has adopted a stage career does not surprise his friends. For a few months he was a military attache of the Italian embassy during the world war, but 2 martial career did not ap- peal. The Caricciolos de Melito are a cadet branch of the feudal princely line of Carlcclolo de Castagneto of Naples and where they once held vast estates. These were swept away, and even the famous palaces of the family in Naples. Palermo and Rome are now In allen hands. Count Mario will a pear on the silver screen under his stage name of Mario Carlllo, the head of his family the Prince Marcello Ignacio, who lives in Rome and Is one of ‘the directors and a chevalier of the Knights of Malta, not relishing such occupation for one bearing his name. The Countess Mario de Carlc- clolo has a tidy fortune, which her fath- er, who was president of the interna- tional councill of finance during the late war, has secured entirely for her and her children, and even the income must be spent in this country. In the past three years no iess than eleven American cltizens have enter- ed the British peerage through the laws of primogeniture, the latest ad- dition being that sedate and reserv- ed Mr. Audrey Brisco, who purchased large orange and lemon groves near Pasadena and has been one of the most active and useful ranchers thereabout. Mr. Brisco, or rather Sir Audre: as he is now, was born in Gordonsville, Va. and his mother, Mrs. Fleming Brisco, is still a resident of that pretty little city.

Moreover, it is easy to get at all seasons—though, to b= sure, lemons rose almost to the lux- ury class in the war. Here are some delicious calling for lemon flavor: Lemon Trifie—Juice of two lemons and grated peel of one, one pint cream well sweetened and whipped qUiff, a little nutmeg. let sugar, lemon juice and peel lie together for two hours before you add nutmeg. desserts Strain through cheese cloth and whip gradually into the frothed cream. Serve very soon, heaped in small glasses. Pass cake with this. Lemon Toast.—Take the yolks of six eggs, beat them well and add three cups of sweet milk; take bak- er's bread not §oo stale and cut into slices; dip them into the milk and eggs, and lay the slices in a skillet, with sufficient melted hot butter to fry a delicate brown; take the whites of six eggs and beat them to a froth, adding a large cup of white sugar: add the juice of two lemons. Beal well and add two cups boiling water. Serve over the toast as a sauce. Lemon Cake.—One-half cup of su- gar, one teaspoon butter, one table- spoon of milk, three eggs, one cup flour, one teaspoon baking powder; bake in jelly tins, put between a fllling made of two apples and one lemon, grated together with a little sugar. Lemon Sauce.—One cup of Sugar, half a cup of butter, one egg, one lemon, juice and grated rind, three tablespcons of boiling water; thick- ened in a double boiler. Lemon Pudding.—Half pound of sugar, half pound of butter, five eggs, rind and juice of one large lemon and teaspoon vanilla; beat well the butter and sugar, whisk the eggs, add them to the lemon, grate the peel, line a dish with puff-paste, and bake in a moderate oven Lemon Cheese Cake—Two cups sugar. half cup butfer, three-quar- ters cup sweet milk. whiles of six eggs, three cups flour, three tea- spoons baking powder.

From the Flower Beds. To vour flower beds when vou are thinking of next winters store of preserves. To be sure, there is not much that they vield, but there are some things too good to miss out on. For one thing. there are nastur- tlum seeds. These are quite as good as capérs If they are properly bot- tled. And that only means that they must be picked when they are bi but still green, washed carefully, cov- ered with boiling vinegar, and the vinegar brought again to the boiling point, and then carefully bottled in clean bottles. s And then there are the rose beds. You can candy the rose petals to make a delicious confection or a charming decoration for cakes. To do this, cook the sirup of sugar and water to the sugar stage, and then very carefully dip in the rose petals. marrylng a distant also three tablespoonfuls of which have been carefully washed and spread to dry in a cool, shady place. Let them cool on a marble slab or a big platter, and when the are cool and sugared put them away between layers of waxed paper. Of course, these do not keep indefinitely, but they are delectable. There are other things to do with rose petals. Here are some of them: Rose Flavoring. The easiest way to prepare this is to fill a bottle with fresh, fragrant petals, crowding them down as com- pactly as possible. Pour on pure alcohol and set in a cool place for several weeks, then strain and use as other flavorings. Rose Sirup. Cut fragrant roses in full bloom, picking in the early morning with the dew still on. Dry slightly, then pull out the petals and spread on trays to prevent mildew. Keep cut- ting the roses and drylng in this way until there are enough for a jar or tumbler of preserves. Put in preserving kettle with just enough water to cover ana cook until the leaves are tender. Add sugar, pint for pint, and cook until it forms a jelly-like _sirup. Pour into jelly glasses. When ready to use, a tea- spoonful gives a deliclous flavor to & cake or pudding sauce. for such ef- 27 ficient Gas Water Heaters —as we're offering, but don't let that prejudice you against this special.

Everre- echoing through consciousness are these words of the Discov-| erer and Founder of/ Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy: “Legally to abolish unpaid ser- vitude in the United States was hard; but the abolition of mental slavery is a more difficult task. The despotic tendencies, inherent in mortal mind and always germi- nating in new forms of tyranny, | must be rooted out through the ac- | tion of the divine Mind. | “Men and women of all climes and races are still in bondage to material sense, ignorant how to obtain their freedom. The rights of man were vindicated in a single section and on the lowest plane of human life, when African slav- ery was abolished in our land. | That was only prophetic of fur- | ther steps towards the banishment of a world-wide slavery, found on higher planes of existence and un- der more subtle and depraving forms (Science and Health, pp. 225-226.) 2 Mental slavery must be abolished. | Americ: founded upon spiritual | ideals, can never become the prey of | the carnally minded, but shall be pre- served and defended by the Mind | which was in Christ Jesus, whose | words and works have been pre- | served through the centuries, in ac- | cordance with his statemen! “Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass aw —and they have not. | Christ Jesus exercised the power of spiritual | thought-force with which God en- | owed man. With the sword of the Spi the Word of God, the dynam- | ic spiritual thought, he attacked the strongholds of sin,—hatred, malice, place and power, autocratic human will, and all that composes a carnal man, who attempts to hold human- ity under a mental influence, which results in wars, pestilence, famine, sin, woe and death. These hallu- cinations, which animate the so- called fleshly mind, Jesus dispelled with his understanding of the po- tency of his divine mentality, his re- ection of Life, Truth, and Love As at his first appearing, he tri- umphed over sin and its desolation, his, his second appearing, he is pull- ing down the strongholds of ignor- ance, superstition and mental slar- ery. The final combat between Christ and the dragon has arrived. The wise read the handwriting on the wall and the twentieth century prophet sees | the end of evil oppressors. Truth was embodied in the Consti- | tution of the United States of | America, when the words of our forefathers were penned, affirming our right to worship God according | to the dictates of conscience. | “Once to every man and nation | comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with false- hood, for the good or evil side.” —Lowell. Let. Americans be granted the rivilege of classifying themselves. is right is accorded them by the Constitution of the United States, viz.,, freedom to worship God ac-| cording to the dictates of con-! science; but the stultifying idol- atry of material gods and pagan philosophy, which terminates in sin, want, and woe, and finally self-ex- tinction, is neither worship nor re- ligion. Let such people as may de- sire to continue to contemplate and | ‘unite in enthusing humanity with | hatred, fear, greed, avarice, re- | venge, and resentment for wrongs long since righted and expiated,— ! let these have the privilege which | the Constitution grants; but let | them not murmur when the law of | God, with its “Thou shalt not,” in- tervenes in defense of America’s spiritual ideals and final sepiritual birth. Let them appeal to the Fed- eral authority, and let the gov-| ernment decide and register their | sentiment in favor of a law which would perpetuate wars; but give the Christjan and those who are ad- | vancing to the achievement of spirit- ual power, in fulfilment of the law of Life and Love, the exercise of which conquers sin, sickness, and death,—give such the privilege of choosing an anthem which will ex- press their sentiments. Then all will becl ed, as belonging upon “the right hand,” or upon ‘“the left hand.” Then we will know upon which side we are fighting, and the people will know whom to place in ofice as defenders of America’s spiritual standard and ideals; and & are to-day reverberating|0f happiness”—not liberty to Truth’s mighty arguments for | 4¢stroy our brother man, for life, “liberty of the sons of |God is the Father of all, and we God,” and the power of love, |are all brethren; not liberty to which destroys hate.

Thousands of Americans are ad- hering to the weapons of warfare which Christ used, when he com- manged Peter to put up the material sword and use “the sword of the Spirit,” the Word of God, man’s spiritual weapon, as a reflector of Life and Love. The material sword, wielded by hate, destroys our broth- er man. The two-edged sword of the Spirit, which Christ used to decapi- tate evil, and which he enjoined his disciples to employ, destroys the sin which is at the foundation of all dis- cord, war and death, and brings life, love, and peace to suffering, sorrow- ing humanity.

When the classification has been made, and Americans are permitted to worship God according to the dic. tates of conscience, and are not compelled by the brute force and human will, which animate the so. called material man, to unite in the mental battle which is voiced in “The Star-Spangled Banner,” they will come the final crossing of men-. tal swords,— the sword of the Spiri the Word of God, wielded by al whose Exemplar is Ch and thy blade brandished by the so-called dragon; then will the potency of thy sword of the Spirit, versus the mi sword, used the ca mind, be prove: The two-edgel sword of the Spirit will destroy ev. and its dire consequences, and re. store unity of the brethren and their relation to their Maker.—God.

The struggle for unity with the source of man's being, eternal Life, Love. and Truth, Gos goes on, and will terminate in victory overall the ills to which flesh is heir, When America is delivered and her birth is recognized and announced, then will humanity wunite in the am. in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke ii, 14.) Then there will be a “new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness,” and there will be na more suffering and no more death. Patrick Henry was awake to this mental conflict between the carnal and the Christ mentalities when ha declared, “The war is inevitable— and let it come! 1 repeat, let it come!™ In this hour the mental war at the birth of America is wievitable; the conflict hetween the mental forces— spiritual and material—iz waging, “The chaos of mortal mind is mad the stepping-stone to the cosmos ol immortal Mind.”(Mary Baker Eddy.) “Never on custom’s oiléd grooves Thought to a higher level moves, But grates and grinds with Zfric- tion hard Opn granite boulder or flinty shard.” Indeed the granite boulder of the so-called fleshly mind must finally vield to the law of omnipotent Life and Love, our Father-Mother God. Woman was found last at the cross and appeared first at the tomh of Christ Jesus. There are thou. sands of Miriams and Esthers to- day who, like Mary of old. are sing, ing the cradle song of Christ: “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” In happy anticipation of the freedom of tke sons of God, milliong on earth are uniting with the in- visible host in the chant: “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God. and the power of His Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” (Revelation xii., 10.) Humanity will not forever remain deaf to their prayers. “The date is no longer B. C. Might no longer makes right, and in this fair land at least fear has ceased to kiss the iron heel of wrong.” (Pulpit and Press, p- 82) The hour of the abolition of mental slavery has arrived. “They are choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the Truth they needs must think; . They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three.” Our glorious flag, the Stars and Stripes, shall wave triumphant, un- til finally there will be no foe to di- vine democracy, no oppressor to de mand allegiance to the enemy of good and no one to wield the cruel sword of injustice. The cradle song of Christ was not sung in vain. The anthem of peace on earth, good (God’s) will toward men, will ring out from the hosts who love their country, America, and their flag, the Stars and Stripes, and who, beneath its royal colors, consecrate them- selves to its defense, with the slo- gan, slaves who will not One God, One Law, Divine Democracy, Universal Brotherhood.
