Contort of Bulgarian King
la Intarestad In Raliaf Work.
QUKEN ELEOXOHJB or
Queen Eleonore was bend of one of
the most efficient Red Cross units In
the Xiusso-Japanese war, as well as of
the Bulgarian Hed Cross lu the Balkan
wars. • -•
Her work In the field hospitals
brought her In conflict with one of
King Ferdinand's peculiarities. His
fear of Infection amounts to an obses
sion, and when the queen was engaged
In nursing and after she had returned
from the hospitals she was by the
king's order placed In what amounted
to quarantine, so far as the royal fam
ily was concerned.
King Ferdinand Is very fond of pomp
and ceremony, but Queen Eleonore Is
reported to have the air of disliking
display and to prefer a simplicity not
to the liking of her lord.
But her labors have been appreciated
by her adopted countrymen. » -•
A princess of Heuss, she camc to the
throne of Bulgaria In 1008, then forty
eight years old, and has since mother
ed King Ferdinand's four children
while carrying on her efficient charity
works. Now that Bulgaria goes to
war she will be the bead of the Bul
garian Red Cross.
In an Interview granted recently
Queen Eleonore stated;
"Red Cross supplies are almost Im
possible to get In Bulgaria. In the
case of need we shall be very nhort
of such sullies, and It Is necessary
for me to do all I can now to Increase
the stock. 1 used every influence I could
to obtain supplies from Austria—our
usual source—but except for n few
small packages bought as If for my
personal use I have been able to get
nothing."
Tips on House Plants.
Palms are much used for Interior
decorations where there Is no direct
sunlight Regular watering la essen
tial, with especial care not to over
water. It Is better with most palms to
keep them a little dry than too wet
While small, wash the foliage occasion
ally with soap suds made from a good
soap. Immediately follow with a
thorough rinsing. When too large for
tills, spray the tops frequently with
clear water.
Browning at the tips usually comes
from over^jPMng at the roots. Trim
off the brown tips, as they will never
recover. If the leaves turn yellow look
for scale on the underside and be sure
you are not overwaterlng. Wash the
scale off or spray with kerosene emul
sion or whale oil soap or some nicotine
preparation. Do not repeat too often.
If a palm grows three new leaves a
year It does well. Us© the same treat
ment for oleanders.
Rubber plants are especially satis
factory to grow where there la a good
light without direct sunlight Water
often enough to keep the eoll moist,
but do not nnder any circumstances
permit water to stand nbont the roots
nor allow It to become bono dry. A
potted plant set In a Jnrdlnlere needs
especial care not to overwater. Wash
the foliage frequently with soapsuds
and rinse nt once. Repot occasionally,
ns the pot becomes full of roots. Feed
••nee In two to four weeks with dilute
solution of nitrate of soda, a heaping
teaspoonful dissolved In water, or am
monia water.
Your Shoes and Qlovo*.
Good shoes, fresh gloves, a becoming
hat. neat and fresh neckwear of good
quality—these aje extravagances which
any woman who makes a pretense to
being well dressed should Indulge In.
Good shoes do not simply mean ex
pensive shoes once bought It means
shoe* provided with an endowment
fund that they may be always kept up
at the heel, always kept clean and
black. The same Is true about gloves.
Nothing Is poorer economy than to
wear soiled white gloves, no matter
how good their quality.
