try to be this. The fact is that women
feel this pretty generally, but good

Management. when recognized, is al

but tactful woman never let's it be

She keeps her servants for years, and
carries out her plans, smoothing away

and requests and suggests far more than
she commands.
The great secret of successful map-

temper and to take care not to upset

In the control of her servants the

went to Carlsbad, where he took the
cure. He subsequently went TO AXen-
stein, in Switzerland, for the purpose
of taking an after-cure. Since that
time, however, he has manifested great
activity in the discharge of the duties
of his office, which have been moro than
usually onerous on account of the COM
plications in European affairs, and have
more or less demanded the attention
and care of the diplomatic representa-
tives of all nations. His death will come
MS q great shock to official and social
circles here in Berlin, where he was q
great fasorite.
Washington, Jan. 2T. = The sudden
death in Berlin of the American am
bassador, Theodore +. Runyon, was
communicated to the president by
q reporter. Beyond that informa-
tion the government had not been ad-
vised of the startling news. Its occur
rence at so late an hour in the night,
of course, prevented the possibility Of
anything like general circulation.
Mr.. Runyon was the successor of Will
liam Walter Phelps, who had held the
place of German minister for four years.
He was gallant soldier, and Fort Run
yon, on the Alexandria railroad, at
the south end of the long bridge, near
Washington, ID. c., Is a perpetuation
of his name. At the time of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Runyon it was remarked
as being that of the Office seeking the
man. His name had been presented
to the president by Senators Mcpherson
and Smith, and he knew nothing of the
application which was being made in
his behalf until he was asked by letter
If he would accept. The unequivocal
Endorsement which he received from
the senator's and the high reputation
enjoyed by him in the state led the
president to make the appointment
without hesitation. He was man of
unquestioned ability and high social
attainments. During his service in
Berlin the most important matter that
has been pending between the United
States and Germany has been that in
regard to the removal of restrictions
imposed on the importations of Ameri-
can pork and beef products into that
country.

Sommerville, N. j., October 25. 1922. He

of the city. He was appointed IN 1856 a COM

I have been much surprised ct the
small amount of beer drunk by the bet
ter class of Germans. A German with
cut his beer had always seemed to me
rather Hamletless Hamlet, but, am
told, and observation bears out the
assertion, that the better class of Ger
mans do not drink beer. On the Rhine
boats beer is not served in the first
class saloons, and in the great garden
at Baden, where the open-air concerts
take place and which is the great place
of resort, very little beer is served, the
general order being for the popular
Rhine wines, while the Frenchman
takes his inevitable cognac and coffee,
fee, then both poured together and
drunk being the approved method.
Somebody has called Scotland the
'country of two jams," orange mar
malade and some other preserve MAX
ing their appearance at every meal
with startling regularity. Switzer-
land might be termed the country of
honey. On every breakfast and lunch
table the little pot of honey is laid out
and, if the sweetening process begun
in Scotland is continued in Italy and
France, my bad temper will no longer
be a source of anxiety to my friends

One can always tell the nationality
of ones neighbor at these tables d'hote
by what he takes to drink. The Amer
lean always has his ice water, the Ger
man his Rhine wine, the Englishman
his dark, heavy wine, when he can get
1t, which tastes like half-fermented
vinegar, and the Frenchman his cham
pagne or his cognac.
And the customs are so different in
the manner of eating and drinking.
There is a profound satisfaction in the
meal itself to the Germans and Swiss,
who eat, oblivious of the rise and fall
of empires, duels and death. The
Americans always act as if they were

The climate The place, the people and
the language may change, but the table
d'hote is ever the same. You have no
choice; you are literally "at the table
of the host" and you must take what
he gives you and be thankful that hun
ger has given you the necessary appe-
tite. There are two things almost in
dispensable to the American tourist
which are rarely furnished unless a
special order is given-the first, butter;
the second, ice water. The butter,
when it is secured, is always unsalted,
md the water uniced, which necessi-
tates a second order and another wait;
anything out of the unusual taking
time illimitable. 1t is said that the
American is distinguished by his
prompt demand for ice water, and, if
this is true, of which have no doubt,
there is no adequate reason, consider
ing the great number of American tour
lists, why it should not be served more
promptly. l have tried everything to
quench the thirst of travel but nothing
