He wasn't King, of he wasn't, except by courtesy, her equul, but he was a necessary adjunct to the Home Life of the Dear Queen. Until lately this particular Prince Consort was rather looked down upon —thongh this may have been largely due to the supreme ugliness of the Albert Memorial. But a recent vol- ume written about Queen Victoria Places her Prince Consort in a new and decidedly attractive light and has set up that oft knocked down Humpty Dumpty on his wall again. Unlike poets, course; Prince Consorts are made, not born. The drop of the Foyal handkerchief, the beck of the royal finger, and a common plebeian is transformed to a royal Prince Con- sort. ; And the Queens who have this power are but of the three king- doms: Position, Genius, Wealth. In this Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, Position means Social Status. We were proud of our social masses until recently a visiting lady lecturer from Great Britain was asked if she desired to meet our People of Social Importance, and she replied: “No. Who are they?"

She bows politely him when he enters the house, and in ail ways treats him as courteously as she would a gentleman. Moreover, she instructs him in Elementary Psycho!- ogy, and explains to him, with great kindness, his Inferiority Complex; never quarrels with him—one doesn’t quarrel with an Inferior—but she ex- pects from him servility, sycophancy and the general attitude of a feeble- minded Jellyfish.

Three Things You Should Do for Your Hair Every Night of tangles. Start below the tangles and loosen the snarls carefully before runnjng the comb all the way down. This takes but a few minutes and few of you realize how much hatr is lost by careless combing. After the comb slides smoothly through the entire hair a thorough brushing will carry off the dust that has settled on the hair and also the dead skin that all scalps are continually throwing off and will carry the oil from the top of the head,all the way down the strand, feeding it the natural oil so that it will not so readily crack and split. Remember that once a hair has split its growth is spoiled, Never under any circumstances use a wire brush. The hair of a human being {s far too fine for anything but a soft bristled brush, and do not force the brush with such @ severe stroke on the scalp that an irritation ts set up. This is often the beginning of serious scalp diseases, Not the brushing but the massaging that follows it should be used for encouraging the circulation of the scalp. I cannot say too much to im- press upon you the benefits derived from nightly massaging the scalp, but it must be done properly with the five fingers of the hand spread out and the tips forced agajnst the scalp until there is a loosening of it. The method of just rubbing the fingers through the hair with great friction and pres- sure is of no benefit and cracks the hair and irritates the sealp. What I wamt you to do is to acquire the habit of moving both hands toward each other €o that you can really feel the scalp sort of 1lft and loosen from the ‘head. This treatment is bound to en- courage the growth of the hair and also to retard @ tendency to grayness and when properly done it ts ex- tremely soothing to tired nerves and sends one to bed in such a restful mood that the slumtber is bound to be refreshing.

The Fine Art of Cleaning. OW do YOU clean a room? Do your “cleaning day,’ or do you just allow it to happen? I've watched some women at work ; and they first sweep a room, then dust it, then mop it. They go down- stairs to get a broom or pail from a porch, than upstairs again, then down with the dustpan or waste, and so on, up and down, making endless motions and need- less tracks Ike a rabbit jumping around in the snow. But a better way is to see that cleaning is really a number of dif- ferent processes or actions. You never thought of sweeping and ten- nis together, did you? Or swimming and scrubbing? Yet, after all, clean- ing is muscular exercise, sometimes gentle; as in hand dusting, and some- times quite violent as in reaching up toward a high wall, waxing the floor, or mopping it.

NNIE McVICAR GRANT is A @ name that will always be revered by Scotchmen as that of the author of “The Blue Bells of Scotland.’ She was born in Glasgow 167 years ago to-day, Feb, 21, 1755. Asa child she was bro~"t to America by her father, an officer of the British Army, and her childhood was spent in Albany. At thir- teerishe was taken back to Scot- land and while stil! a girl Annie McVicar became the wife of the Rev. James Grant. Her husband died leaving her with eight, chil- dren to’ support and she turned to literature as a means of earn- ing a living. She was a prolific writer of both verse and prose. ‘Letters from the Moun- : in three volumes, and “Memoirs of an American Lady,"’ in two volumes, were widely read, and these and other literary works provided Mrs. Grant with an excellent income. ferent sets of muscles in doing dif ferent kinds of cleaning. € You use the muscles of your wrist, fingers, arms and shoulders in dust- ing; your back and arms and hips in sweeping, and practically every mus- cle, including those im the abdomen, when you scrub, Do you think that even the best athlete would jump from the middle of a tennis set into a swimming dash or into a ball game and expect to do it without excessive exertion and fatigue? I guess not! Yet, don't YOU and many other women jump from sweeping to mop- ping and then to dusting in a very short period of time? That's why I say the best plan in cleaning is to cotinue the same process as long s@ possible without change. That Is, sweep several rooms, A B ana @, without stopping. Lay those tools down; then start your second process, possibly using a floor mop, and do this same action straight through rooms A, B, C, &c. Then a third process, and so on, instead of jumping from one kind of work has- tily to another. You know how the fellows that play tennis say they “get warmed up” efter they’ve been at it a while? It Is this “warming up” which indicates that the muscles are working without friction, and it is exactly this “warm- ing up” that we want to have in any kind of muscular housework. Stop the next time you are doing some cleaning work and think how you are doing it. See if you couldn’t con- tinue one set of movements for a longer time.” You'll feel more rested and will get through your cleaning day in far less time. And you will be surprised how much less you handle your bucket and mops and brooms under the new plan. You won't be stopping to get them or take them downstairs or carry them around so often if you follow what I like to call this rule of “avoid change of shift in. work.” I once timed myself to clean three rooms under the old plan and found that it took sixty-three minutes and required twenty-eight separate han- dlings of utensils and cleaning tools. Then the next Friday, I timed myself on cleaning the same set of rooms with just the same tools, only I fol- lowed the second plan. And I fpund that It took me only forty-two minutes and sixteen handlings of tools to do the same work! Even twenty minutes Saved is worth considering, besides the fact that I was not go tired. “What do you think are the most sensible clothes to wear when clean- ing?" some reader asked. If you promise not to tell, I reply, “Bloomers and a middy blouse!" Heavy skirts which weigh on the hips cause useless fatigue. Tight garments of any kind have no place in the cleaner’s costume. All the more muscular kinds of house ¢lean- ing are truly athletic exercise. Throw the windows wide open, wear a com- fortable low heeled peir of shoos, slip on a pair of canvas gloves greased with cold cream and go after Mr. Germ and Miss Dust. Cleaning ts one of the most healthful forms of exercise, if the housewife would only realize it and dress for the part! And the pleasure she derives from gazing at her fresh, wholesome room or home well repays her and should give her as much delight a% & good golf score! “FORE!"—~cries the athletic house- keeper, THE KEYS FOR NE I WHY DIDNT an IVE THE Jo GOING TS MARRY HIM.

He should be given a mustard foot bath to stimulate the circulation and hot water bags (wrapped in flannel) placed at tho feet. Cold compresses to the head will allay the fever. Should this be very high, fifteen to thirty drops of sweet spirits of nitre in a little boiled, cooled water repeated three times ut intervals of one hour will reduce the fever and aid the kidneys. In every other respect the details advised in my previous artick ‘How to Treat a Feverish Child,’* should be carried out. * The gastro-intestinal tract requires careful attention in this type of the grtp.
