' ' some one asked Miss
Edith Aykroyd when she was
abroad in Y. W. C A. war work.
""We Americans work so much
harder and faster than you do, men
and women."
"Having see your soldier boys
and women war workers in action,
i can readily believe that,'' returned
her questioner.
"But, isn't it so," interjected a
little woman, "that you spend more
time making a living, while we
spend more time living."

Laundering Quilts.
An easy way to wash your bed
quilts or comfortables is in this man
ner: First take a small scrub brush
and a pail of suds and scrub well the
most soiled parts.
Place the article to be cleaned
over a table to do this. Second,
place article on clothesline and pro
ceed with the rinsing, which is done
with the garden hose. Let the full
force of water soak the quilt or com
fortable well.
This may need be done several
times, but the result is a good, clean
comfortable without the pulling
apart of the interlining. Do this on
a good windy day.

Strange: Story Afloat
1 T
Mrs Alma, Stesut
Mrs. Alma Vetsera-Hayne-An-drews-Steane,
whose tragic death
several days ago, after the Victory
ball in London, on her return from
a honeymoon, has shocked English
society. She was twice married and
divorced in America. Her son,
bearing the name of his reputed
granfather, Prince Rudolph of Aus
tria, was born in Morristown, N. J.
The post-mortem is said to have dis
closed a case of poisoning strikingly
similar to that pf "Billy" Carlton,
who was found dead after, the first
Victory ball in London a year ago.
Mrs. Steane claimed descent from
the Austrian Imperial family. She
claimed she was the natural daugh
ter of the dead Crown Prince
Rudolph, son of Emperor Francis
Joseph, and of Marie Vetsera, the
baroness whom Prince Rudolph
loved but could not marry. The
story of their tragic deaths in the
hunting lodge at Meyerling in 1889,
where both committed suicide be
cause their love was thwarted and
the prince was tied to a wife whom
he could not cherish, is known to
the world. In 1911 the Austrian
government issued an official pro
nouncement stating that no child
was born of the infatuation of the
crown prince and the baroness.
Famous Women
Helen of Troy.
"The face that launched a thou
sand ships and burned the topless
towers of Ilium." Thus sang Chri
topher Marlowe, the poet (1587) of
Helen of Troy. Probably it is the
most exalted compliment ever paid
to" woman's beauty. ' For this is the
history of Helen, and the "gleaming
melancholy" of the achievement of
her charms. In the oldest chroni
cles of Greece she is entered as the
daughter of Zeus himself by Loda,
whom he wooed (and won) under
the guise of a swan. No wonder
that Helen was the ivory perfect-
ncse! She .became the bride of
Menelaus, king of Sparta. At the
famous contest for supremacy on
Mount Ida among three goddesses,
Venus, Minerva and June, Paris
son of Priam, king of Troy, being
the judge, Venus promised him the
fairest woman in the world; Miner
va promised wisdom and Juno world
dominion. Paris gave the prize to
Venus. The woman won. Paris
visited Sparta and swept Helen from
the arms of Menelaus. He bore her
to Troy, and Greece arose as one
man to recover just one woman.
The tragedy of the Trojan War
sung by Homer in the "Iliad" (1000
B. C.) was occasioned by a woman.
Yet Marlowe puts on the lips of
Helen's royal suitor , the words,
"Sweet Helen, make me immortal
by a kiss!"
The Mermaid.
She was a "famous woman," be
cause she was a "famous ' inn that
served men. That was enough
for the Mermaid. She was named
after an enchanting lady of the
vasty deep, who is a woman to her
girdle, and a fish to her feet Her
figure was on the signboard of the
famous inn, in Friday street Lon
don. Pass with hasty glance the bar
in front the parlor behind the
blackened roof and nnlisriert taHUa
tap-room on the left low doorways,
winding passages and you come to
the inn parlor. This is the Mermaid!
And the men si'ttinc tVr? R
Jonson, Fletcher, Beaumont, Carew,
uonne, and Shakespeare. Shake
speare is roaring over his dog's
nose, and Ben Johnson over his
canary. Oh, listen to the wit com
bats between Shakespeare and Ben
Jonson. Mermaid, dear "famous
woman," why were you net a twin?"
Noah's Wife.
There must be some foundation
for the perpetually recurring story
in the mediaeval mystery plays of
Noah's wife. Noah's name means
"rest." Noah's wife's makeup was
restless. Her name was Naamah.
Naamah was a daughter of Enoch,
"who walked with God," says Holy
Writ; but Naamah walked about
with her temper and nearly upset
the ark itself with the "kick" she
made at its uprearing. She fought
Noah with doughty fists all the way
through and when the great man
had completed his work she said
she would not go in with the ani
mals The animals behaved better
and went timidly into the ark. At
last Naamah consented to carry in
the lyre bird. When they were
afloat Naamah declared she was as
blue as the sea. The lions became
outraged at this carrying on and at
tacked Noah to attack Naamah.
Pretty woman with the melodious
name, you have come all the way
down history from 2448 B. C. to
November 19, 1919, A. D., as the
peacock of temper. When a man
builds his house (ark) his trouble
begins
How Christmas
Carol Revived
in Detroit
In November, 1916, a small com
mittee of the musical people got to
gether and mapped out a plan which
comprised the formation of a Christ
mas carol organization with officers,
including one representative of each
of the denominations of the city, in
order to make the organization
strictly nonsectarian.
A meeting was held and officers
elected, and then a campaign by mail
was used to acquaint all the minis
ters and Sunday school superin
tendents in the city with the aims
and object of the new organization,
and to solicit their active co-operation.
It was rather late not more than
four or five weeks before Christmas
but a start was made. Twenty
five groups, with about 250 carolers,
sang in a few neighborhoods. They
raised about $287 to help neglected
and destitute children of the city.
This was considered very good
for a start, but the echo of the sing
ing had hardly died away when plans
were laid to extend greatly in 1917
this picturesque and ancient custom.
The newspapers gave liberal space
and helped the cause wonderfully
On the following Christmas Eve,
4,000 people, including many adult
groups sang carols in all of Detroit's
residential districts and collected
over $3,000 for the city's needy chil
dren. By 1918 the number of carol
ers had increased to 10,000, turning
Detroits twilight streets into "200
miles of song," making truly an in
spiring and beautiful sight.
Though the revival of Christmas
Carol singing is comparatively re
cent in this country it has already
reached many cities, including both
large centers of population and
smaller towns, and has everywhere
aroused great enthusiasm. Caroling
groups have been organized in the
following cities, among others, and
in nearly all cases provision made
for repeating the event annually:
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Detroit, Minneapolis, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Indianapolis, Scranton.
Jersey City, Denver, Syracuse, Nash
ville, Lowell, Evansville, Boston,
Flint, Bangor, Nyack, Newburyport.
Facts About Potatoes.
When potatoes become old in
April and up to June it is wise to
pare them early in the morning
and let them soak in water for sev
eral hours in order to restore the
moisture they have lost. The same
treatment will help those that are
frostbitten. The new potatoes that
we get in July and August are not
ripe and are undigestible as any
green fruit would be so never give
them to children or invalids.

Vegetole is popular with housewives because it mixes up rapidly,
easily and evenly makes delicious, flaky and economical pastry.
Vegetole adds no flavor of its own, but rather intensifies the natural flavor of foods. Foods
shortened with this pure, white vegetable product are easily digested because it melts at
a temperature lower than body temperature. It is therefore wholesome and economical.
Wttidatl Oil is equally esteemed by particular cooks because it makes foods more palatable
and tasty. This pure vegetable oil, of clear, amber color an all-American product is
delicious in salads, dressings, sauces and gravies and is an excellent deep frying medium.
