BLACKSMITH'S DAUGTITER AND
THE PER
W. B. Maxwell's charming novel,
"Vivien.," was about the last and hap-
piest exploitation of the old goose
.girl legend that we have come across.
Modern writers do not appear to be
intaested in such themes, especial'
writersof, the first .01ttaa. But when
the novelists deist, the people - in
real life begin, for they demand To -
mance of some tort, and if they
ca-tmot get it out of books they will
construct it for themselves. A stria -
lag example is provided by the love
affair of the Mate e of Kinloss and
the daughter of the local black-
smith, which has attracted atteation
all ova England, and which has
been considered worthy of cabling
to this -continent The bride-to-be
is Miss Katie Jackman, and it is
said that her looks d -o not satis-
factorily. explain the infatuation of
the future Baron of Kinloss. She
has charm and good nature, and
she and the Master have been sweet-
hearts for many yens. These who
knoW them both do not hesitate to
predict—et happy Married' life for
them. -
•
The Master of Kinloss, grandson
of the last Duke of Buckingham, and
son of the late Baton Kinlost, is a.
curate. - He Was educated. at Oxford
and ie said to be an 'extremely seri-
ous minded young man, That be is
democratic is proved by his court-
ship. He was ordained ,in 1914, and
thus did not go into the army. In -
steed he became curate at St
Sepulchre one of the few round
churches of the -Knights Templar
left in England. The Master is re-
ported to be an eloquent preacher,
and. one of his most regular attend-
ants was Miss Jackman.' Long be-
fore the Mister had gone Up to OX -
ford he showed his 'inference for
the blacksmith's daughter,. and, used
to spend most of his tune hanging
about the smithy, conversing with
the smith, and no doubt giving that
worthy a misleading' opinion of the
charms of his own conversation. It
appears that the Master was such
an exemplary character even from
boyhood and the girl so charming
• and sensible and wholesome that at
no time did: any oa the neighborhood
Greundys fear that the companion-
shla was likely to prove disastrous
to Miss Katie. Their „ forebearanee
is now being rewarded.
But the Baroness. of Kinloss did
not take kindly to the idea of the
marriage when her son broached it
to her. One can imagine the kind
of arguments she twoula use, and
their futility, for the youth was very
much in love. Finding to her aston-
ishment that while amenable in
ether respects he Was • not open to
reason. concerning the blacksmith's
daughter, the angry datvag.er re-
sorted to threats. It is said that she
declared she vtould appeal to the
eourts for power to. sell the famous
Stowe House the ancient family
seat, and °aide the finest estates in
Buckinghamshire, if not in all Eng- '
land. She said that if the girl was
marrying her son for his money she
wad& be disappointed, since there
would benomoney. It is doubtful
if she could have carried out this
threat An English court would
hardly liteak an entail for no better
reason than that the heir was pleas-
ing himself rather than his mother
by his marriage. Besides there are
many heirs to famous names in
England who have chosen their
wives from humble homes. In any
event the Master stood firm; andhis
sweetheart also mapifestect fortitude
in the crisis.
One can imagine that •the' union
is likely to be particalarly embarras-
sing to the Baroness of Einloss* and
the othet titled relativesof the Mas-
ter. It is bad enough to marry a
blacksmith's daughter, but to marry
one who lives almost at your lodge
gates is worse. Further than that
the young woman has several rela-
tives. Her brother'for instance' , is
the Master's chauffeur. One of her
sisters is the wife of the head gar-
dener at Stowe House, While another
of them contracted an ialliance with
the local milkman. It is said that
the prospective relationship with the
milkman was 'excessively galling to
the Baroness, but the young curate
saw nothing objeetionable in it at all,
since the milkman is known to, be
an honest man, who scorns the arts
. of adulteration, and altogether is a
worthy citizen. What the Jackman
family think of their prospective re-
lations has not been. disclosed.
Almost as great a. romance will
be culminated- shortly in a marriage
between Viscount Melville, of Mel-
ville Castle, Lasswade, and Cotter -
stock Hall, Northamptonshire, and
Miss Margaret Tod& ol Thirlestone
Road, Edinburgh. Until a Month
ago Miss Toad was a shop assistant.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION:
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain •
How ,to Treat.
Medical authorities state that near-
ly nine -tenths of the eases of stomach
trouble, indigestion., sourness, burn-
ing, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are
due to an exeets of hydrochloric acid
in the stomach and not as some be-
lieve to a lack of digestive juices.
The delicate stomach lining is irritat-
ed, digestion is delayed and food sours
causing the disagreeable symptents
which .every stomach sufferer knows
so well.
Artificial digestents are not need-
ed in such cases and may do real
I harm. Try laying aside all digestive
aids and instead 'get from anyearug-
ga few ounces of BisttratedtMag-
ne and take a teaspoonful in a
qu. s:ter glass of water right after
eating. This sweetens the stomach,
prevents the formation of excess acid
and there is no sourness, gas or paitit
Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or
tablet form—never liquid or milk) is
harmless to the stomach, inexpensive
to take and is the most efficient form
of magnesia for stomach purposes. It
is used by thousands of people who
enjoy their meals with no more fear
of indigestion.

seventy-seven, while Miss Todd is

hairdressing establieliment where
Mist Todd Was employed, and it is
said that once the interest and af-
fections of the Marquis were: aroused
he proved an unflagging suitor. This
will be his third Matrimonial experi-
ment. His first wife was a daugh-
ter of William iScally, of Rio de
Janerio, and his second a. daughter

four sons and one daughter. Another

tea our employees. It will take two
yeas to complete the' job, and .we have

THEY WERE BURYING THE
WRONG MAN •
That "truth is stranger than fic-
tion," is a saying we often hear—
yet - seldom believe Let me convince
you. .
A few months ago, in Victoria, B.
C., there occurred a grisly mistake.
At a certain hospital, two men
-passed away on the same night, and
their bodies were taken to the same
undertaking establishment. Otte,
quite an old man', had been a well
known citizen; and the other, who
was elderly, had had vert few friepds
in the place.
The body of Mr. Jones (shall we
call him), the old resident, was to be
taken to his home; and when the cof-
fin was taken there, the other corpse,
that of Mr. Smith, was still unclaim-
ed. ..
When the coffin was opened at the
Jones home, and the relatives allow,
ed to see the deceased husband and
father, they were really shocked at
the change which death and the .un-
dertaker had wrought on the well
known head and face.
"Why, they've cut *off his beard. and
dyed his hair," cried the daughter Of
the house, and the old lady deelared
that it did not seem to her like her
man at alit
However, the day set for the burial
arrived, and the friends gathered for
the funeral, which the nunister pro-,
eeeded to conduct. The solemn
words of the Mita' service were still
resouriding through the room when
the telephone began to ring. It was
very insistent, so a friend - slipped
into the- hall to answer. it He came
back presently and beckonedthe min-
ister to wale out; several other men
followed and found the first two in,
a state of great excitement.
"The undertaker had just called up,"
the first man explained, "and has
asked •us to stop -the funeral till he
can arrive, he's •afraid some mistake
has been made."
"Mistake? What mistake?"'
"He thinks we have the wrung
body."
Soon a veil' 4gitate4 undertaker
arrived., and explained in strict priv-
acy, to the minister and a few others,
that they had been holding Jones'
funeral, in Jones' house, over Smith's
body. A friend had just turned up
to claim the latter, and positively
declared the body at the undertaking
parlors win not that of his relative.'
A scene of bewilderment and dis-
may ensued, What should they de?
Would it be best! to 'go gat with the
funeral and exchange ,the bodies at
the graveyard, or should they tell the
old lady alai let her decide. -
The latter was the course finally
followed, and the b.ereaved wife de-
cided that she would still have her
husband's boily brought to the house
and left the usual length of thne.
So the remains of Mr. Smith, his
funeral having been already conducted
—ivere taken away and deposited in
the grave, and the' remains of Mr.
Jones were brought to his erstwhile
domicile,
that all due respect might,
be paid; him ere he be laid to rest.
Is truth not stranger than fiction?

KAVA HAS A KICK BUT NO
ALCOHOL
A chance reference by Robert
Louis tStevenson. to a bowl of kava
sent a- New York promoter to the
South Sea Islands. He returns with
a Monopoly of the kava market and
high hopes of putting something over
on Mr. Volstead. For kava is a drink
that contains no alcohol—but my,
what a kick! •
A little shrub, likened to a pepper
plant, and variously known for cer-
tain medicinal properties as kawa-
kawa, kava -kava, kava, cava and ava;
is the basis of the beverage. From
the upper part of the root is exuded
a reshr which is a pure chemical' com-
pound called kawina When this is
dissolved from the rushed roots and
subjected to certain chemical action
at becomes kava.
When Stevenson cruised the Pacific
he found that young boys and girls,
seleated for perfect teeth, were em-
ployed to chew the roots to a pulp.
This was allowed ao stand --several
days in deet jars of water. The re-
sulting liquid was a brownish green,
sweet at first taste but quickly turn-
ing acrid.
The effect, while intoxicating, was
more like that of a narcotic than of
alcohol. Although some good effects
are ascribed to the drink, excessive
consumption is said to cause eruptions
of the skin.. In fact, the natives who
overindufge in kava acquire a. whitish
slough over the skint which has` be-
come a mark of distinction as only
the y‘ealthy or otherwise Influential
can afford to get drunk frequently.
All the natiiee, however, drink some
Ica" especially during eereinonieS for
th-de.removal-, of a taboo. -
Recently an English resident of
Polynesia has found a great source
of profit in growing kava on a com-
mercial scale.
The substitution of chemicals for
saliva and of machinery for teeth
makes the beverage exceedingly
cheap. In just what form the intoxi-
cant will be introduced into the

CHRISTMAS TURKEY ONCE A
. PEACOCK..
No Christmas is a real, Christmas
to US without roast turkey, plum put&
ding and mince pies. The very
-thought of Christmas without these
delicacies dosen't sound like Chris-
tmas at all, so aceustomed .are we to
the associations.
We have been born and brought up
with them, so to speak, our grand-
mothers and their grandmothers and
then their great-grandmotheas before
them InvOing kept to the customs
even as far back as the ancient Eng-
lish mies when ye Barons and ye
knights would celebrate Christmas
and the aecompanying holidays in one
endless round of merriment
But Christmas day was the "real”
day for them, aid when it earne
around just once a year they had
their raosted peacocks Where we
have our turkeys, their "plum pot -
awe" where we now indulge in• plum"
pudding i and then • "mutton pies"
that we now leave the meat ingre-
dients out of and call. ous "mince
pies." '
We may 'think we have pretty nice
dalliers Oh Christmas Day, but we
dean even know heW to go about it
in comparison with the wonderful
pompous spreads attended - • by our
idle pleasure -loving ancestors.
Though their dishes were served up
in a rather rude and Unrefined way,
and fingers were better known than
anives and forks, still we have to
acknowledge that when it comes to
comparing the pomp and splendor of
the meal we are just "not in it."
The "Boar's Head" was the first
thing on their menus. It was brought
into the dining hall on a monster
'dish of gold or silver and was
heralded by a gay blasting of
trumpets..
The "sewer" who carried the dish
was followed by a gay procession; of
knights and ladies who sang a quaint
song. -
• It was then liet en the table with
solemn gravity' while a short service
was said over it by "mine host."
Gee, capons and pheasants drench-
ed in amber- grease furnished other
courses for the gay folk, while the
peacock—proud, bird—was their "tur-
key." • , '
And it Must- have iteen a beautiful
sight when served,
In preparation, the skin of the
bird was carefully removed so- that
none of the gorgeous plumage .would
Isuffer. The bird was then roasted
and when done and cooled was then
placed back again in its plumage, tail
and all, The beak was guilded and
then it was sent to table. '
Sometimes the whcile body was cov-
ered with leaf of gold and a piece of
cotton saturated with spirits placed in
his beak and' lighted before the carver
commenced' his operations. As with
our turkeys, the inside was filled with
spices, sweet herbs and was batted
with the yolk of an egg and plenty of
gravy.
The service of this bird was not
for common hands—no siree—ye lady
of noble birth and beauty was selected
to carry it into the hall to thelotaid
of more music.She was always fol-
lowed by other beauties. It was then
set before the host or the guest of
honor and straightway carved.
So much for the birds—now our
mince pies have a still quainter origin.
Those ancestors of ours called them
"mutton pies." It is told us that they
baked them in coffin . shapedcrusts
intended to represent the manor in
which the Holy Child was laid. With
the exception of the mutton that they
-end the other ingredients 'were the
same as we have M our mince pies
to -day.
In the old days they, ilandreed our
plum pudding by calling it "plum pot-
tage This, they served with the
meat courses for Christmas dinner.
It was made by boiling beef or mut-
ton with broth, thickened with brown
-bread,. When it was half boiled they
Put it in raisins, currants, primes,
'doves, mace and, 'ginger, and when
the mess was thoroughly boiled it
iwas sent to the table to serve with
the best meats. In later days it was
'called "plum pudding" when some of
the ingredients were changed.

Remember that a frosted cake

keeps fresh longer, that is, the frost--
ing keeps tbe cake from .drying out:
This 'is a good thing to remember,
too—that sometimes a thick, soft
frosting put on a cake that was un-
frosted to begin with freshens it or

fore it is taken from the pan, and so;
should similar rieh cakes containing
much fruit or nuts, like Dundee cake.
The sogginess that 'results is an addi-
tional attraction, to such a take. And
this -sort of eich cake is better kept
in an old-fasbioned stone -crock than
in a tin. box. Such cake, toe, if it is
to be frostetl—and many cooks never
frost fruit take—should be frosted
only after it baa stood a while. In,
the case of fruit -take, it should really
preferably stand a eouple of weeks
before frosting.- A nut cake, like
Dundee, may be frosted the next day
after baking, although usually such
a -cake is not frosted at all.

ous. Cookies of the very erisp sort
should be thoroughly cooled in 14

airtight box. One good cook keeps
crisp cookies in one of the pans which
