ATIIKN8. Feb. 10-Fw fathers have
brtter reason to be proud of their families
than ha the king of the Hellene, who Is
now experiencing the truth of the poet's
description as to the unealness of the hiad
that wears a crown. In the midst of all
the strife that Is raffing about the Greek
throne at the present time the five stal
wart sons of the king and queen have
proven themselves bulwarks of strength.
Through their efforts court functions con
tinue and the harmonious atmosphere of
the home circle Is preserved. Should King
Oeorge abdicate, as It la supposed he will,
one of the most delightful courts in Europe
will disappear.
Besides their five sons the king and
queen have one daughter, and as all these
' are married except the 20-year-old baby
of the family. Prince Christopher, and all
have, families of their own except I'rlnce
George, It will be seen that the Greek
home circle, like that of the German royal
family, I a wide one.
King George hlmxelt is a giant In build
and a great athlete and hunter. He has
trained all hi nn to achieve such a stale
of physical perfection as la very raraly
found In five members of one family. All
of the princes can boast of something over
six feet In height, all have Just such ring
ing voices and hearty laughs as their
fathr and all can hunt, ahoot, swim,
wrestle, ride, run and Jump like experts.
Naturally the Greeks have taken a great
deal of pride In this rather remarkable
loyal family,' but It Is to Queen Olga that
they have given their love and admiration,
and her beauty and grace and kindness
are unfailing sources of Joy to them. Her
majesty was a daughter of the Russian
Grand Duke Constantln and a granddaugh
ter of the Emperor Nicholas. Her father
was a sailor, and she may fairly claim to
be one also. She holds the rank of ad
miral in the KuBslan navy and takes more
than a perfunctory Interest In warahlpe
and armaments.
In appearance Queen Olga la Imposing,
tall stately, with a fine figure and royal
carriage, clear-cut features and very large
dark eyes. She has In spite of her many
masculine attributes a feminine lowe of
dress, and the very best taste In choosing
rich and artistic coatumea. Iadeed, to see
her on a gala night at court In the deep
hues and sumptuous tissues she affects,
with Just that touch of the barbaric which
Russian women even of the nobility love,
ls'lo see a very beautiful figure Indeed.
She Is as fond of Jewels as her country
women always are and possess some of the
most marvellous opals in the world. They
are aet ao as to form a sort of cuirass
with supporting bars and chains of dull
gold.
Her majesty dearly loves gaiety and life,
and It Is ahe who arranges all the court
fetes, for nothing pleases her more than to
have all her handsome sons and their
wives and children around her, enjoying
WOMAN DRUG CLERK'S RISE
From Two Dollar a Week to the
Ownership of Two Storei.
CHANCES FOE GIRLS IN PHASMACT
Prejudice Agalaat Womeai Di-aa;
Clerks Declared to De Unfoaadcd
Improved Methods' that
Brought Prosperity.
NEW TORIC, Feb. 2.-"The month after
1 passed my 19th birthday I took a place as
prescription clerk in the largest drug store
In my home city," a western woman who
owns and manages a prosperous drug store
replied to the reporter's question. "Though
" I am not particularly proud of what I
have accomplished I am willing to talk
about It that other girls In my position
may see what they can do If they will only
work and try.
In the first place I want to say that I
have taken the highest course In pharmacy
and my education cost my parents nothing
after I finished the first year In the high
school. It was at this time that my father s
health failed and my elder brother and I
had to look out for the support of the
family, five In ail.
"As my father had always worked In a
f drug store what little influence he had
was with men In that business. He gave
me a note to the owner of the drug store
where he had been employed, and on pre-
enung u i askea lor anything they could
give me to do.
"This druggist said he hadn't anything
for a girl to Jo and wouldn't give It to
me it ha had, as he believed In girls staying
k home. If It was necessary for them to
rftout to make a living then let them cook
or do housework. He read me a long lec
ture on tho sin of women's taking bread
out of the men's mouths.
"It was a long time ago, but I remember
distinctly how angry I was with that man
at keeping me there while he talked and
then refusing me work. Onoe I got away
from him I made a beelln for the next
Crug store. My father had sent me out to
get work In such a store and I was bent
on doing It
"I presented the same note to the pro
prietor of this second store, and when he
asked me what the first man had said I
told him the truth as nearly as I could re
member the lecture I had received. He then
told me that the only vacancy he had
was the place of a boy who was leaving
the next week to go to Chicago to study
pharmacy. He explained that this boy
had begun on 12 a week and doing what
ever was needed. When he asked If I
thought I could take this boy's place I
was sure I could.
"I remained In this place washing bot
tks, sweeping the floor, dusting the coun
ters and running errands at first, and
gradually working up until all the pound
ing of crystals and powders was intrusted
to me. My employer was a Just if not a
generous man, and at the end of six
months be raised my wages from U a weok
to K
"At the end of my year he went to see
my mother, my father having died a few
months before, and told her that I should
take a course In pharmacy. He said he
was paying ma as much as he could af-
5d to give clerk doing that crass of
"ork. but If I were a licensed pharmacist
L would bo glad to give tne a weok
to begin with and more as I gained ex-
perlenoe.
"Because my wages were needed at
home I had to remain In the store one
year longer until my youngor brother got
a raise. I then went t J Chicago and took
a two years' course In pharmacy, working
In drug store all the while aad paying
toy expenses, even buying my own clothes.

themselves with all the vigor of youth and
perfect health. It was she who had so
carefully planned the Tuletlde party last
Christmas which ended so disastrously.
The royal host and hostess were all seated
around the lighted tree with their guests
and were singing and tellng stories when
news came that the summer palace was on
fire, no the king and his sons had to hurry
way. A very severe conflagration It
proved, with much loss to property, though
fortunately not of life, and the Christmas
play to be given by Greek peasants, which,
the queen had arranged never was per
formed. Queen Olga's charities are unceasing. She
gives widely and yet discriminatingly. All
her kindly deeds, however, are not con
cerned with the bextowlng of alms. For
Instance, she has had a large amount of
Ruislan earth Imported Into, Athens and
whenever a Russian sailor dlsa there she
ha arranged that some of his native aoil
shall be placed above and below his coffin.
She knows that Russian sailors are the
The course vas two terms of thirty weeks
eaoh.
"On returning to my home I took the
state examination and received my license.
My work In Chicago had opened my eyes
to the tact that by the completion of my
high school course I could take the second
or university course In pharmacy, which,
after two years study, confers the degree
of pharmaceutical chemist, and gives you
admission Into the medical and surgical
college.
"My first step was to begin night school
and by the end of two years I had com
pleted my high school course. I had also
saved enough money to make up my share
in the household expenses, while I re
turned to Chicago to take my second
course In pharmacy.
"Here I again got work In a drug store
and found It quite easy to pay my ex
penses and keep up with my studies. Re
turning again to my home town, I worked
for another year, and then back to Chi
cago for the third term, where I completed
the graduate course and received my doc
tor's degree.
"On going baok to my old position the
proprietor offered to make me manager
with the privilege" of buying him out at
the end of five years if I cared to. I
asked for ona year's time to decide as I
then had thought of becoming a bacteri
ologist. At the end of the year I told the
proprietor I would buy him out In three
years or even before if he was inclined to
to sell. It was a good business, but he
had Injured his health by too close con
finement and having Invested enough to
give him a reasonable Income he was will
ing to turn over things to the next person.
"Within six months I bought the business
from his widow. As I had only $800 In cash
I was forced to borrow the balance of the
(3,000 to pay her. This was the first step
I ever took against the wish of my mother.
She was afraid of my taking the respon
sibility of such a debt and felt sure I not
only wouldn't be able to pay, but would
lose all my JSOO savings. ,.
"It did require very strict attention to
business to pull through, but at the end
of four years I had paid It all and almost
doubled by trade. I had put In several
new departments and had girls behind
every counter except two. It was thLs
putting In girls as much as anything else
that increased my trade.
"In all the other drug stores In town the
clerks were men. In only one besides my
own was there a woman employed, and
she was at the change desk. As a result,
I soon had the bulk of the women cus
tomers In town.
"Besides putting In girl clerks I did many
little things that added to the attractive
ness of my store. Many of .these features
were taken from stores I had seen In Chi
cago. One of them was giving paper nap
kins with each glass of soda water; then
I was the first In our town to have a few
tables and chairs near the soda fountain.
In a few weeks this feature brought such
an Increase to my soda fountsln that I was
forcfd to enlarge the space and the num
ber of tables.
' This rushing around was the beginning
of the enlargement of my business. Now
my store Is half as large again as It was
when I bought tho business.
"It was soon after this trmt I learned
that the man to whom I had first applied
for a place was anxious to sell. He said
he wasn't making money and didn't ever
xpict to again with the flashy methods
I was employing against htm. I had my
lawyer make him an offur and at tho end
ot six months bickering J bought out his
business.
"This gives me two stores, which Is
about all the work and responsibility I
care to handle. I have added the same
features to my second store that made my
first popular, and the publlo have shown
their appreciation by Increasing my trade.
"So far as I can judge the chief attrac
tion of my two stores Is their cluanllnees.
I not only require the floors to be kept

spotless, but malte the same demands of
my clerks and the girls at the soda water
fountain.
"I supply my fountain girls with fresh
aprons and cuffs and without limiting
them. The only point I make is that they
shall under any and all circumstances be
spotlessly clean."
"It Is rather hard to get competent
women . as drug clerks, especially In the
prescription departments. - I think the tea
son Is because so few . drug stores want
them. So long as this Is the case women
will be . slow about fitting themselves as
graduate pharmacists. There is practically
no reason for prejudice against them be
hind the' drug counters, except that ex
pressed by the man from whom I bought
my second store.
"If a girl Is , bright enough to finish the
first year In. the.. high school by the time
she Is 16 she can easily take her course
in pharmacy and pass the state examina
tion by the time sho Is 13 or even a year
earlier If she does not httve to work to
pay her own expenses. It Is not a costly
course of study, and In large cities she can
easily find work that will pay her expenses
provided she has had two years 'experiences
as general helper In a drug store.
"I am a great believer In mixing work
with study. It gives practical training
that all school work can never accom
plish." PRATTLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS.
Little Adelaide was Inclined to be cow
ardly. Her father found that sympathy
only Increased this unfortunate tendency,
and decided to have a serious talk with
his little daughter on the subject of her
foolish fears.
"Papa," she ventured at the close of the
lecture, "when you see a cow, aren't you
afraid?"
"Why, certainly not. Adelaide. Why
should I be?"
"Well, when you see a dog, aren't you
afraid then?"
"No, Indeed," with sriarked emphasis
on the "no."
"Aren't you afraid when it thunders,
papa?"
"Why, no," and he laughed at the
thought and added. "No, you silly child."
"Papa," and Adelaide came closer, and
looked Into her parent's eye, "aren't you
afraid of nothing in the world but
mamma?"
Hearing her papa and mamma speaking
of celebrating their wedding anniversary,
little 4-year-old Dorothy said: "Mamma,
how long have we been married to papa?"
After being kissed by her grandmother,
little Elsie was seen to rub her cheek vig

VOGUE OF LINGERIE BLOUSES
Never Were They Prettier Nor More
in Demand.
GENERAL LINES ARE UNCHANGED
Sleeves Shorter and Frills In High
Favor The TaJ lor-Made Models
Toichei of Color Soaae
Datch Necks Used.
NEW YORK, March 5.-If any one has
an Idea that the cult of the lingerie blouse
has waned let that 111 Informed person
make a round of the shops that cater to
woman's vanity and revise his Ideas.
Never, so the dealers say, were fine lin
gerie blouses more In demand, and surely
never were they daintier or prettier. What
Is more, much of the daintiness and the
prettlness Is of a possible sort.
There are still exquisite blouses, all hand
embroidery and real lace and Intricate de
sign, blouses before which the average
woman stands with hopeless longing In her
heart or upon which she turns her back
with melancholy resignation or cheerful
philosophy. They cost . such shocking
sums, . those lovely things, and many an
extravagant woman puts Into one or two
such blouses more money than the or
dinary woman spends upon her entire sum
mer outfits.
So there's really not much use In talking
about such blouses. Those who -can af
ford to wear them, or who wear them
whether they can afford It or not, know
where to find them, and though each model
has Its Individuality there Is no radical
change in the general character of such
elaborate models.
The three-quarter sleeve or elbow sleeve
figures prominently In the blouses, though
It Is to be hoped women will escape the
bare elbow pest of a few seasons ago.
Shoulder yokes appear in may of the
elaborate models as In the simpler ones.
But on the whole, the theme Is a fa
miliar one. Fine Irish, cluny and Valen
ciennes, countless hand tucks, seams set
together with velnlng or lines of Irish
crochet, all these are conspicuous as they
have been before. Sometimes frills are In
troduced along with the other elaboration.
and much is done with colored embroidery.
But It is to those possible blouses that
one turns with relief and hope. Some of
them are high priced. Their simplicity Is
of the fine material and hand made kind;
but one feels that they might be copied at
a reasonable cost. Just a little hand em
broidery beautifies some of them, but It
is not embroidery of appalling Intricacy.
One might learn to do It with a little ef
fort ar.d patience or one might liavo It
done for no exorbitant price.
And the cut of the modols Is not beyond
understanding, not even beyond accom
plishment If one Is a clever seamstress.
One can remember the model and tell a
home seamstress about it. For so much
generosity, Mine. Ia Mo'de, many thanks.
The frill, platted or full, but usually the
former, Is frequently the dominant not-s
in these simpler blouses and is the datall
that gives cachet to the model, softens its
severity, feminizes it. Tne modern ver
sion of the tailor made blouse Is a delight
ful thing. Its severity Is of a coquettish
sort.
It may be simply tucked, but the ma
terial Is dslnty and sheer, the tucks are
fine and often put in by hand; and then
there Is the frill, simple, double, Jaboted,
tabbed, whatever It may be In form, a de
ltoloue feminine touch designed to delight
the buyer and outrage the feelings of her
laundress.
The side frill has a tremendous vogue.
and where, as Is very often the case now.

under the front plait and removable for
laundering. It may be plainly hemstitched,
lace trimmed, hand embroidered, bordered
by- tiny oolortd hems, but whatever Its
scheme It must be fine, sheer, dainty, hand
made, or It loses Its essential -charm.
Thousands of frills more or less coarse
are offered in the shops, and some of these
are excellent In design, but nothing can
offset fineness of material and hand work,
and the girl who cannot afford to buy that
sort of thing will do . well to buy dainty
materials and do the work herself, a task
easy enough for any one who can roll a
hem and sew on lace, though, of course,
the hand embroidered frill Is a different
matter. ,
Buttonholing Is a useful accomplishment
now, when so many good blouse details
are secured through button-holed scallops,
and the art Is not a difficult one to ac
quire, though unless the work Is really
done well it Is a delusion and a snare.
Sometimes excellent button-holed scallop
effects can be secured by using the strip
Insertions or edgings with such edges and
so applying them that the edge seems to
be embroidered ol the blouse material, but
this requires skilful planning.
A good tailor-made model with which
one blouse maker has had great success
is of fine handkerchief linen tucked on the
shoulders, opening In front under an edge
cut In tiny scallops and embroidered. The
collar has a scalloped and embroidered
edge, so have the cuffs, so has the plaited
frill, which Is adjustable.
A good model Into which the buttonholed
scallop Is Introduced Is Illustrated here.
The blouse Is finely tucked from a tucked
shoulder yoke set In with narrow lines of
real Irish insertion. A plain front panel is
finished In large embroidered scallops
down each edge. These scallops are laid
over a rather broad band of real . baby
Irish Insortion, which runs down each side
ot the blouse front and a crochet button Is
set In the center of each scallop.
The collar has a scalloped piece of the
material turned , down upon a band of lace
and the cuffs are made In the same way.
Given the buttonholing, anyone could make
the blouse any good seamstress, that Is
and yet the model Is excessively good
looking.
Another blouse also has a shoulder yoke
and the lace which borders this yoke turns
at the throat line and runs down each
side of the blouse front, the middle front
space being filled by fine tucking. The
side fronts are finely tucked from the
yoke and the part next the line of lace
Insertion Is fornvxi of a narrow embroidery
edge, finished by tiny scallops, which lie
over the edge of the lace. The shoulder
yoke or epaulette, too, is formed of this
fine embroidery band, which has both
edges scalloped and looks like embroidery
upon the blouse material. Lines of tiny
designs enjbroidercd In the collar run ver
tically o'n some chic blouses between
groups of fins tucks and the color Is re
peated In the edge of the frill collars and
cuffs.
Of the fine while blouses with tiny col
ored hems we have often spoken, and the
blouses of striped and figured batiste with
white frills bordered narrowly with the
color predominating In tho blouse are de
serving of notice. We saw the other day
a remarkably good looking model of the
tucked tailor style with plaited frill made
in a silky looking cotton which may have
been batiste or mull
The dtislgn was a Persian stripe, in which
soft yellows and blues predominated, alter
nating with a narrow stripe of white and
a white frill had a bordering band of the
Persian set on with narrow Irish lace. The
collar and cuffs matched the frill and there
was a tiny black cravat.
Fine cotton crepe, plain or embroidered,
and fine cotton etamlne, plain or em
broidered, preferably plain, are mado up
In both the simple and the elaborate styles.
One etamlne blouse that has found ready
sale la simply tucked la the tailor made
duke and duchess of Sparta, as they are
known In Greece, are less energetlo and
active than their royal parents. The crown
prince Is the most Intellectual and least
physically attractive of ail the sons of
King George, He Is about 42 years of
age, nnd his wife, who was IMncrsg Sophie
of Prussia, Is slightly younger. She Is not
handsome, though she has a very fine
figure, and, like hor mother-in-law, dresses
with most perfect taste. She and the crown
prince live very quietly and are devoted to
their children. They have three sons and
two daughters, ranging In age from 19 to
9; all healthy, happy, and, If not strictly
handsome, at least good to look upon.
Prince George, the second son. Is a fine
looking blond giant. He la a sailor and
has a keen liking for the sea and all con
nected with boats and naval warfare.
Falling a sea voyage he likes a hunt or a
bout of mountain climbing. He Is essen
tially an outdoor man and statesmanship
and politics Interest him little. His mar
riage with Marie Bonaparte took place
fashion, ..but has a Dutch collar heavily
embroidered In white, corresponding cuffs
on the short sleeves and an embroidered
band down the middle front, from under
which falls a frill of the sheer etamlne.
The Dutch neck Is seen In many good
blouse models, though It occurs more often
upon the elaborate blouses than upon the
simple ones, and the same thing may be
said of the short sleeve.

Verdict against a physician1
Georsrla Court Hefuses to Allow m
Illll Bemuse tho Patient
Died. i
Medlcar and logal science have fought
out an old battle in Bibb county, Georgia,
and tho doctors have lost. A case was
hrotiKht in tho superior court In Macon a
few days ajrn on a consent appeal from a
JuRtlee court, to determine a suit in which
a physician rendered a bill for JW for pro
fessional services. The patient In the case
was a girl 11 years old, daughter of the
defendant, who was suffering from tuber
culosis of the knee. The plaintiff per
formed an operation. In tho course ot the
treatment, and the patient died. When the
bill was rendered the father of tho child
refused payment on the ground that the
doctor had not cured the case,
In court the doctor set up the plea that
the death of the patient was due to no
fault of his, that he had performed his
duties to the best of his ability, and there
fore should be paid.
When the case had Vn submitted to
the Jury the twelve men. In a few min
utes, brought In a verdict for the defend
ant, holding that the doctor is not entitled
to payment of the bill he has rendered.
In one sense this Jury Is right; the doc
tor Is the architect of his own plans In the

agin' It" with this Jur; ; but It Is a pretty
safe conclusion that the example from
Bibb county Is not going to be any mors
widespread over the country than It is
going to find favor In the professional
mind, however Just or unjust It may be.-.
