LOVE AFFAIRS OF
The love affairs of Crown Prince
Carol of Uounmnla are "good copy"
for tho newspapers these days. To
rvard the end of the war Prince Carol
lult his regiment without leave,
crossed the Russian frontier and mar
ried at Odessa, a MKs Lambrlno. The
,nuecn was furious. Prince Carol was
put under arrest on the charge of be
ing away from his regiment without
Icavo and the parliament lost no time
In declaring his marriage null ami
roid.
The country agreed with queen
nnd parliament because Prince Cnr
Dl's bride is nobody at all and Itou
mania must have a crown princess
chosen from the powerful royal fam
ilies of the entente.
Prince Carol would not recognize
the annulment.

"OIL KING" DOHERTY NOBODY AT 40
Edward L. Doherty, the "oil king,"
Is In the public eye these days. Nat
urally he would be, if, as we were re
cently told, ho refused $."),000.000 for
his personal holdings In the giant cor
porations he controls. Anyway, his
areer reads like penny fiction. At
forty he had not saved a dollar for
each year of his age; his success has
till come in the last twenty-three years.
After twenty years of a gold pros
pectors hard life he was walking
along a street In Los Angeles, when
he met a wagon loaded with a dirty,
greasy substance. He found out from
the negro-driver when' he got the ma
terial. Doherty, though he had never
had anything to do with oil, was con
vinced that If he dug down far enough
he would find oil.
And, after superhuman manual la
bor, he did. That was his start to
ward milllonalredom.
In Mexico lie again "struck oil"
In a double sense. Today ho Is the largest producer In the world, and is rap
Idly expanding and solidifying his operations, so that his career is still in the
unfolding stage.
The pages of the congressional
record will no longer be cluttered up
with page after page of Interminable
debate over the Chicago "Speedway"
hospital.
Edward Illncs has at last won hi?
fight to present tho federal govern
ment with $1,000,000. Work on the
project was begun more than a year
ago and was ordered stopped and re
contlnued several times as controver
sy about It raged.
Four times tho bill authorizing the
treasury department to take over the
hospital was signed and as 'many times
a new fight was started from some
where to block It.

Col. V. R. Greeley will succeed
Forester Henry S. Graves, May 1, as
head of the forest service, the bureau
of tho agricultural department which
has charge of the 17.1,000.000 acres of
national forests. The reason of Col
onel Graves' retirement hns not been
made public. The appointment i
made by the new secretary of agricul
ture, E. T. Meredith.
Colonel Greeley was born In Pall
fornin forty years ago. He has been
in tho forest service continuouslj
since 1004, except for two years of
military service with the A. E. F. and
has been advanced through all the
grades of the service. The war found
him assistant forester, In charge of
the branch of silviculture. He re
cruited the forestry troops sent to
France under Colonel Graves and
later took his superior's place as head

IF WOMEN live up to the high
slantlnrd of good taste and refine
ment, expresseil in the best efforts of
Jeslgncrs of apparel for spring, they
will do well. Some reporters of the
styles always have an eye out for the
sensational the knee length skirts or
'hoso Impossibly narrow ones but
these freakish things do not Rot very
far. Only very young, very pretty and
unsophisticated persons may bo ex
cused for adopting them, and then
they are only tolerated ns a little
youthful folly for which the inexpe
rienced are not to bo blamed too much.
In any assembly of people who have
plenty of money to spend on clothes,
there Is usually little that Is extreme
or freakish; what pleases the student
of dress is the beauty and the refine
ment of the new styles.
A very good example of this ap
pears In the pretty frock of figured
Coulard which is pictured here. It Is
Usual and Unusual in Suits
AT the left of the iwo suits pictured
above, there Is a dressy model
( very unusual design and very hand
some. It Is made f '-irk Dice twilled
loth, for which either trlcotino or
gabardine might be used us a substi
tute; but any one of tliem must be
hoscn In a good quality, becau-e the
success of the design depends upon
sufficient body, or weight, In tho ma
terial, and Its finish. A narrow, tubular
braid of white silk appears to ho ap
plied to the coat and skirt by couch
ing It on.
Ii cry where we come upon the un
expected In this model in the cuffs
of white crcpo do chine, ornamented
with white soutache braid, in the white
motif of net and embroidery silk or
braid, daringly pl.'.ced at rhe top ot a
split In the coat, and other details.
The one-pleco skirt arrives at a
narrowed-ln line at tho bottom, by
means of an over-lapped seam that
runs In a diagonal instead of a vertl
cul line and ts left open to the depth
made of that perennial favorite, dark
blue silk figured with white, but
foulard, and slmllnr silks, are shown
In other colors that aro equally at
tractive and might be made by the
same pattern. Thcro Is nothing com
plicated about tho design; it combines
a straight skirt, medium in width, with
a tunic graduated in length nnd
bordered with velvet ribbon In tlie
same color ns the silk. The bodice If
plain, cut In the fashion of a blouse,
with elbow sleeves. Tho collar, cuffs
and chemisette of organdy and narrow
filet lace, lend their daintiness nnd
crlspncss to the model and a row ol
very small pearl buttons, set on the
chemisette, reveal a careful finishing
touch that must not be overlooked.
The velvet ribbon which crosses 'the
chemisette and tics In a bow at tlir
back, Is a little wider than that usc'
to border the tunic. It writes a de
llglitful "finis" to a beautiful frock.
"f t'.. i ill. The braid Is applied to
Hie bottom of the skirt In vertical
lines at the front ; at the back In ell
agonal lines and the coat corresponds
with It In this respect. The bottom of
j tho coat Is caught up at the front in
I a deep fold. It hangs straight, over
, a smock of whlto crcpo de chine,
fringed with chenille. Tho sleeves
, are long and llarlng. An Ingenious
and gifted designer lias achieved a
masterpiece in this suit.
I The other suit Is simple, practical
, and clever, with widened hip line
made by pieces set on and fastened
down with three bono buttons maklii(!
four plaits. It has one of the few coats
that are not ppen at tho front to tin
waist lino and sets rather closely tt
the figure.

Do not throw away the vinegar from
pickled beet or other pickles. It may
be used In salad dressing
In place of other vinegar,
giving n most desirable
flavor and color.
When wc pay 20 eentu
a bunch for celery It Is
needful that every scrap I
is utilized. Tlie tender 1
inner stnlks may be
served fresh or In salad,
the conrser outer stalks cooked and
served with cheese in 1111 escnlloped
tlisli, making a movi. appetizing and
not common combination. Then the
leaves may ho dried and used as lla
vor for soups and sauces.
Add a few talilespoonfuls of salt
pork cut In small cubes and' fried
brown to any vegetable soup, and a
very little sugar. A pinch of sugar
'iddcd to a roast of any kind adds to
Its tlavor.
When making gravies) sauces, or
mushes that are apt to lump, stir and
beat well with an egg whisk. This will
uvo much time and many lumps.
When using lemons, drop them in hot
water to become heated or place In
lie oven to become hot. They will then
give up every drop of Juice.
Ajt old toothbrush will be found use
ful In denning out small corners nnd
for pulling on shoe-blackening as it
Is siliall enough to get into the fine
crevices where dust collects.
When you have rough, chapped hands
use fresh lard mixed with sugar, using
enough lord to moisten tho sugar; rub
It In well and wear gloves to bed; In
the morning tho hands will be healed
and softened.
Old felt hats make the best kind of
wicks for lanterns or lamps. Cut In
strips suited for the burners.
In frying mush, roll each slice In dry
com meal and a little sugar. This
makes the slices crisp and brown In
color when fried.
In the preparation of n meal use
cine that the amounts are neither too
lavish nor lacking; ono is equally as
bad as tho other, if not worse, as tho
Irishman snyf.
Keeping nil food In closed cans or i
boxes to keep from drying Is a most
Important economy. A cut loaf of
bread left m the air for a few hours Is
dry and unpalatable. Alt dry bread
should he saved for the hundred and
one ways for using It. Toast points,
cubes for soup, croutons, "stuttlngs,
puddings. In meat loaves, In scalloped
dishes are a few of tlie wajs of ills-iii.-it'i
