BEST LOVED MAN IN AUSTRIA~|
quity, the Rainer is the most modern man among the hundred and fifty Haps
burg archdukes. In all that relates to soldiering, politics, art and science no
man. outdistances the Rainer. He made Vienna an art and science city.
For an unbroken half a century he directed the Imperial Academy of Sci
ence. He created the Art Industry Museum. He collected a hundred thous
and rare manuscripts and gave them to the nation. When Eitelberg wanted
to copy London’s South Kensington Museum and people laughed at him the
Rainer went round, hat in hand, and cozened the money out of Austria’s
millionaire princes.
The Rainer lives in a small and dusty room of his palace. All the other
rooms are .filled with books. He has never drunk or smoked or had any
weaknesses except getting old and making faithful love for sixty years to
his ancient, ancient wife.
EUROPE'S ROYAL HOUSEWIFE~j
It would be hard to find a more capa
ble housekeeper than the empress of i
Germany. .
Her ideal is service: she has de- /
voted her life to serving her country,
her husband, and her children. She
believes that this is woman’s highest
and only mission, and that women are
happy as long as they keep to this
Ideal. The empress has never inter
fered in affairs of state, and the daz- J
zle of court life has meant little to
her. But she has always found joy i
caring for the comforts of the emper- i
or, looking after her children, and
managing her household.
When the Kaiser calls for his wife
he finds her engrossed in the many
departments of her housekeeping lore
in which she is so proficient. Though
she does not go into the kitchen and
order her groceries and meats as do
her subjects, the chief steward comes
to her study every morning and they '
plan the menus for luncheon and dinner together. She often suggests new
dishes and makes changes in the menus as they are presented. For she keeps
many cook books in her study and is always on the lookout for new recipes.
The empress does not believe in foolish extravagance in dressing any more
than in conducting her palace. Though her tailored suits and her dinner
gowns are made outside, she keeps a dressmaker busy all the year round re
modeling her gowns and those for her daughter.

remained with that paper’s local staff. He has been with the World 16 years,
and now constitutes one of the wheel horses in the famous Pulitzer organi
zation.
A native of Indiana, having been bom in Union county, Mr. Albert is 53
years old. His activities have not been diminished and he is regarded as an
expert in matters pertaining to the United States senate.
LEADER IN INDIAN AFFAIRS ~~|
The new maharajah, Ripu Singh, is
the eon of the deceased rajah, Sir
Heira Singh Malvinda Bahadur, G. C.
S. 1., G. C. I. E., of Nabha, whose
death was announced December 27,
1911. The state of Shabha is one of
the three Phulkian states of the Pun
jab, but as the Maharajah of Nabha is
the direct descendant of Baba Phul,
the great common ancestor of the
Phulkian chiefs, therefore the rajahs
of Nabha are regarded with special
reverence by the two other chiefs of
Patiala and Jhind, and have great in
fluence among the sikh community.
Moreover, the original place of their
forefathers, a village named Phul, aft
er the name of their common ances
tor, is in the territory of Nabha state.
Nabha state is about 1,000 square
miles in extent with a population of
300,000 and annual revenue of about
twenty lakhs of rupees. This state is
i In alliance with the British throne,
| and under the treaty the Rajah of
I Nabha has the right to inflict capital punishment in his territory.
His Highness the Maharajah Ripu Daman Singh is only twenty-eight years
of age but has already distinguished himself in the council chamber, for he
was a member of the Supreme Legislative Council for two years at Calcutta,
i during which time he Introduced the Anand Marriage bill. In addition to
this he Is a social reformer; he hates idolatry and abhors the caste system
Undoubtedly the best-loved man in
£ broad Austria is not cross old Kaiser
. Franz Josef, but his still older cousin
and councillor, Archduke Rainer. Rain
er is very, very old; and he is known
as “the'Rainer.” When clerks and
lawyers on their way to the Innenstadt
pass his little place in Favoritin
strasse, and see pressed to the win
dow a white face, white hair, a short
white beard and long white mustache,
' they do not say, “That is the Arch-
I duke.” They say, “Look at the Rain
' er,” and they repeat some ancient
tale from the Neue Freie Presse about
the Rainer’s immemorial antiquity.
The Rainer is indeed terribly old.
He was born and grew up in the days
when Austria owned Venetia, and
there his papa, another Archduke
Rainer, ruled; and this papa was born
away back in 1783, almost in the ro
coco age of Watteau shepherdesses,
Rosenkavaliers and George Washing
ton. But as if to mock at his anti-
Letters are being received daily by
Charles S. Albert, chairman of the
standing committee of corespondents
in charge of the Press Galleries of the
Senate and House of Representatives
at Washington, asking for reserva
tions in the press sections at the Re
publican and Democratic National
conventions, the latter of which will
be held in Baltimore June 25. The
committee of which Mr. Albert is the
chairman has been designated by the
national committees of the two par
ties to receive all requests and assist
in the assignment of seats in the press
sections of the two conventions.
Mr. Albert has been in the Wash
ington newspaper field for 21 years,
now approximating the deanship of
the corps in point of service. He was
manager of the Press News Associa

and in charge of the New York World

gown, made of maline to match the color of embroidery on gown, finished
with fringe. It is intended to overcoome the pope’s ban on low cut gowns
recently expressed in an edict from Rome.
BRACELET IS COMING BACK
With the Elbow-Length Sleeve This
Ornament Is Almost Sure to
Have Access of Favor.
The bracelet is to regain the favor
which it once held. Modern dress,
with its popular elbow-length sleeve
for day wear, adapts itself ad
mirably to the display of the brace
let. This is the main reason why they
should become popular again.
Bracelets of fine workmanship set
with jewels are bound to find favor.
The designs for these are borrowed
from those of old Egypt and Persia.
The snake armlets which are asso
ciated with Cleopatra will be worn,
especially with evening dress.
Heavy armlets two inches in width
are patterned after those worn by the
Sabine soldiers when Tarpceia sold
the Roman city, tempted by their glit
tering glory.
Massive is most descriptive of these
bracelets. They are worn on the up
per portion of the arm above the el
bow.

When Little Guests Come.
Although there are no children In

bibs, little glasses with handles, and a
little table-chair. You cannot imagine
the little ones’ delight when they
come to the table. To these may be
added little plates, knives, forks, and
spoons.
I also keep on hand, for their pleas
ure, a few simple toys. In this way
I am always ready for little guests.—

SLEEVE POCKET FOR THE FAN
Innovation Favored by Paris Seems to
Presage Return of Such Re
ceptacles to Fashion,
During the past year the pocket has
been slowly and steadily regaining its
position in woman’s toilettes and even
so daring an innovation as a sleeve
pocket has now been made possible.
This is quite the latest fashion note
from Paris, the new form of pocket
being chiefly Intended as a receptacle
for the tiny fan, which Is so much in
vogue at present
The pocket is usually inserted in the
sleeve just below the elbow, the aper
ture being cleverly concealed with
lace or chiffon, so that its presence
is not even suspected until the fair
■wearer suddenly produces a miniature
embroidered fan, apparently out of
her arm.
The fan pocket is to be found on
either sleeve of a smart afternoon
gown and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs is frequently pro
vided with a pocket after the same
style.
Although originally intended only to
hold the fan, as in China, the sleeve
pocket has been found so convenient
that it is also used to hold a lace
handkerchief, and there is no doubt
that its dimensions will increase when
sleeves assume large proportions.
Needlework Note.
Damask centerpieces are quite the
style nowadays. Many clever needle
women outline the flowers or design
of the damask with a dainty stitch so
as to form a border around the cir
cular piece, and with an edging of
heavy lace this makes as effective a
centerpiece as could be desired.
Damask, however, is by no means
cheap, but if one can make a num
ber of such pieces from old linen with
only the trifling expense of the lace
one can have one of these center
pieces.
Little Fancy Coats.
While for the present there are
practically only two types of the
mixed toilet, that in which a plain ma
terial is seen in combination with a
striped or checked stuff, and that
which weds a little coat of velvet to a
skirt of cloth, the advancing season
will see many changes rung upon this
theme.
New Bags for Old.
We all have one or two rather
shabby leather bags. Cover these
with velvet, buy some heavy silk cord
for a handle, long or short, as you
prefer, and you have a stylish and
pretty bag. Either paste or sew the
velvet on. I sewed mine, and have
found it satisfactory.—Woman’s Home
Companion.
Monogramed Shoe Buckles.
Parisians have started the rage for
a monogramed shoe buckle, already
American dealers have become inter
ested. The Paris women are now or
dering shoe buckles with their ini
tials or monograms done in rhine
stones or real gems.

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING
“When my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like festers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
“I consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for a book on Cuticura, and pur
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment at the drug store. I did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
(Signed) Mrs. Freeman Craver, 311
Lewis St., Syracuse, N. Y., May 6,
1911. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam
ple of each, "with 32-page book, will
be mailed free on application to “Cuti
cura,” Dept. L, Boston.
Final Recourse.
“Do you want to get a hearing In
this court?” shouted the magistrate.
“Sure, sir,” replied the very deaf
defendant.
"Then,” yelled the magistrate, with
a last mighty effort, “you will have
to go to a specialist”
Probably No Exception.
“Jones has invented an airship.” 1
“Then it’s bound to be a success.”
“Why so?”
“All his other schemes have gone
up.”
Usually a man is a poor judge of
his own importance.

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn’t any
sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also
benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are five letters from southern women which prove
the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Elliston, Va.—“l feel it my duty to express my thanks to you and your
great medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles and had been con
fined in bed over one third of my time for ten months. I could not do my
housework and had fainting spells so that my husband could not leave me
alone for five minutes at a time.
“ Now I owe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering woman I want to tell her what
these medicines have done for me and I will always speak a good word for
them.” —Mrs. Robebt Blankenship, Elliston, Montgomery Co., Va.
LETTER FROM LOUISIANA
New Orleans, La.—“l was passing through the Change of Life and be
fore I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I was troubled with
hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. I would
get up in the morning feeling tired out and not fit to do anything.
“ Since I have been taking your Compound and Blood Purifier I feel all
right. Your medicines are worth their weight in gold.” — Mrs. Gaston
Blondeau, 1541 Polymnia St, New Orleans, La.
LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
.Wauchula, Fla.—“ Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my symp
toms, headache, backache, bearing-down, and discomfort in walking, caused
by female troubles
“I got two bottles of Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and a
package of Sanative Wash and that was all I used to make me a well woman.
“I am satisfied that if I had done like a good many women, and had
not taken your remedies, I would have been a great sufferer. But I started
in time with the right medicine and got welL It did not cost very much
either. I feel that you are a friend to all women and I would rather use
your remedies than have a doctor.”—Mrs. Mattie Hodnot, Box 406, Wau
chula, Florida.
LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
Martinsburg, W. Va.—“ lam glad to say that Lydia E- Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has done wonders for my mother, daughter and myself.
“ I have told dozens of people about it and my daughter says that when

pound.”—Mrs. Maby A. Hockenberry, 712 N. 3rd St, Martinsburg, W Va.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Newport News,Va.—“About five years ago I was troubled with such pains
and bloating every month that I would have to go to bed.
“A friend told me to take Lydia E- Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
I soon found relief. The medicine strengthened me in every way and my
doctor approved of my taking it . ■
“I will be glad if my testimony will help some one whois suffering
from female weakness.”—Mrs.W. J. Blayton, 1029 Hampton Ave., Newport
News, Va.
