Royalty on Exhibition.
In tho eighteenth century the Lon
doner could look at royalty on Sun
day for a modest fee. In a guide to
London, published in 17C7, It was said:
"At St. James' chapel royal by knock
ing at tho side door and slipping a
shilling for each person into tho hand
of the verger who opens it, you may
havo admittance and stand during dl
vino service In presence of their
majesties; and for one Ghlltlng each
person more, you may sit in their roy
al presence, not In pews, but in turn
up seats on the side of them."
Sheer white goods, in Tact, any Cne
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
aro laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau

ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
Improved oppoarauco of your work.
