suggestion until she had satisfied herself That
he had struck the most effective tone.
When tiey were married and went to Ne

Then Bryan found himself getting into ,iol-

she might work with and help her husband.
In this connection Mrs. Bryan said cit

little unusual for woman to be admitted to

very domestic in her inclinations.
| If the organs should come into the White
House many people would recall and contrast
the night of their first appearance there, with
Mrs. Bryan's prospect of standing at the head
| of the reception line.
+, 1t was just after Bryan's speech when every
body wanted to see him and his lawyer wife.
Mrs. Bryan appeared in a high-necked, long
| sleeved black cashmere dress not even fash
ionably cut or made. Bryan wore his usual
Prince Albert broad cloth coat and possibly
white lawn tie. The pair stood about and
looked lost while people told each other who
the transformations, rather old fashioned look
ing couple were, yet neither was at all en-
barassed. Both got more than little amuse-
ment out of watching the crowds. They went
out very seldow IN Washington, and then only
on official occasions. l never heard of Mrs
their Washington life, don't think she ever
possessed loW-cut gown, nor dress with
silk Innings, and Bryan surely never has
owned dress suit. They never attended
fashionable dinners and certainly gave none
themselves.
Mrs. Bryan's head is the most noticeable
thing about her. 1t is very shapely, and the
heavy, dark-brown hair is always brushed
smoothly back from very high, full fore
head. The hair is thick, soft and fine, and
simply coiled into mass on top of the head.
Mrs. Bryan isn't pretty nor handsome, but
she has strikingly intelligent and strong
face. The eyes are dark, and large and eX-
pressive. The nose is large. with good width
between the eyes. The mouth and chin might
almost have been cast in the same mould as
Bryan's own, so striking is the resemblance

BRYAN'S FIRST ADDRESS TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE,

Directly Mr. Bryan, at his hotel in Chica-
60, Friday, heard that he had been nominated
| he wrote the following and sent it off to the
press Of the country:
ITO the american People:
s'In order that may have no ambition but
to discharge faithfully the duties of the office,
| l desire to announce that if elected President,
l shall, under no circumstances, be candi-
| date for reelection. w. j. BRYAN.
Mr.. Bryan subsequently said: ''The Presi-
dency is the highest honor that can be bestow-
ed by this county upon a human being, and
the power of the Office is so great that there
ought to be no temptation to the man occupy
| ing the Office to use it for his own advance
ment. MI. Cleveland in his first letter of ac-
ceptance set forth the objections to second
term in language so forcible that it cannot be
surpassed. President Hays advocated an
| amendment to the Cons titution, making hold
ers of the presidential Office Ineligible for
| reelection, and a similar amendment was
suggested by Andrew Jackson
| Later in the evening he addressed a crowd
| from the balcony of the hotel and said in
| part
'When the campaign is over, think it can
| be said that no mistake has been made. 1t
| depends upon you, upon the plain people.
| Abraham Lincoln once said the Lord must
love the plain people because he made so
| many of them. If we win in this great fight
| it will be because the people believe that we
will bring to them exact and equal Justice
| We raise no plea against the power and the
just due accorded to intelligence and to educa-
| ton, but we insist that when the Government
comes in contact with the people there must
be equal and exact justice to all alike-rich
and poor, great and humble. (Great APP

SKETCH OF MRS. BRYAN.

Mrs BRYAN who is small, modest looking
woman, had a seat in the galley to the left of
The speakers stand. When it was positively
known that her husband had been nominated
for the presidency she was surrounded by
admiring friends and heartily congratulated.
She thanked each one pleasantly, and
throughout maintained quiet demeanor that
impressed those about her. To a reporter she
said: 81 think my husband will try to de-
serve the honor these men have conferred
upon him. Appreciate it, l assure you. If
his wife's aid is of value in the endeaver to
elect him, he will have all possible assistance
from me.
The wife of William Jennings Bryan is an
absolutely new species of woman among those
who have stood chance of ruling in the Elk
ecutive Mansion.
Briefly, she is a pale-faced. intellectual
slip of woman. She has an immense amount
of determination and silent aggressiveness,
is rather studio us and very reserved. She
does not care for ashton OF society and pays
no attention wha ever to either
Attention was frs; drawn to Ms. Bryan at

that speech 'The Bryans' is said because
the hus band and wife worked over the speech
day and night together. Every preparation
for it was made with determined GOODNESS.
Mrs, Bryan afterward said how they had

been polished and repolishel and cut until
each was gem of its kind. They had al

JOSEPHINE'S ExTRAVAGANCE.
Even the Emperor Napoleon Was Both
cred by Dressmakers' Bills.

Throughout the late summer and au-
tumn of 1907 the imperial court was
more stately than ever before. The old
nobility became assiduous i'll their at
tendance, and, as one of the empress la
dies i'll waiting is said to have remarked,
the court "rcceived good company. "
On his return Napoleon had found Jose
phine's extravaganza to be as unbound
ed as ever, but he could not well COM
plain, because, although for the most
part frugal himself, he had this time
encouraged lavishness in his family.
Still, it was not agreeable to have dress
makers bills flung into his carriage
when driving i'll state with his consort,
and Oh one occasion he sent an unprin
cipled but clever milliner to the prison
Of Bicetre for having disobeyed his Or
ders in furnishing her wares to the en-
press at exorbitant prices. The person
was SO indispensable to the court ladies,
however, that they crowded her cell,
and she was soon released.
At st. Cloud, Malmaison, the Tuile-
ries and Fontainebleau the social vices
of courts began to appear, but they were
sternly repressed, especially high play.
By way Of contrast, the city of Paris
was at that very moment debauched by
a profusion of gambling bells and
houses of prostitution licensed at an
enormous figure by Fouche and produc-
ing great revenues for the secret police.
The gorgeous state uniforms of the
marshals, the rich and elegant costumes
of the ladies, the bespangled and begilt
coats of the household, dancing, theat-
ricals, concerts and excursions-all
these elements should have combined to
create brilliancy and gayety in tho i'm
perial circle, but they did not. Life

Difficulties of Carnation culture.

Luck is net reliable factor in the
difficult problem of carnation culture. 1t
demands exhaustive knowledge of the
habits, requirements and diseases of the
plant, unceasing watchfulness and unre-
uniting labor the year through. Even
when all is done that seems possible to
merit success. the grower is liable to the
evaporation Of finding that particular
varieties, upon which he may have based
his most sangnine expectations, obsti-
nately refuse to flourish under his care
Almost every carnation culturist knows
varieties that he 'ssimply cannot raise''
and neither he, nor anybody else, can
tell tho reason why. Of course, there
must be something lacking, in soil, wa
ter, air Or treatment, which they re-
quire, but it seems as if they were ca
pable of taking offense at him, or his
surroundings, and preferring death, Or
at least npproductive life, to endurance

SERVANT GIRLS N LONDON


fhey Have Their cri.vancss the
Same as In This Country.
4 IS probable that London sery-
ant girls Of fair intelligence will not
for long consent to spend their DAYS
IN cellar chambers and their nights
IN such inhumnn attics as We have
described; nor yet remain without
an opportunity for business-like Inn
proyement, owing to the incapacity
Of mistrcsses to tcnch them, says
the Quarterly Review. Women OF
the middle class who need domestic
help had better, therefore, become
wise in time; and, first, they should
reduce the style Of their establish
ments and raise their character.
/ The present state OF things is evil
and absurd; it tends to make the
public in their sections mutually
contemptuous instead Of universally
respectful. aud it thus becomes q
means and cause of social degrade
tion. The outcry OF our Londoners
about bad trade is often result Of
feebleness and want OF clear discern
ment. There is, in fact, excess OF
trade in unproductive vanities, di-
verting capital from reproductive
work, and people in the main are
living much above prudent scale of
OUTLAY. A few save their money and
invest it; but the majority seek
merely to appear perhaps o quarter
richer than they actually are, and
thus they make themselves at once
ridiculous and impoverished.
Were they to rid themselves Of
half their foolish furniture and duly
scrub their floors they might live
decently without dependence upon
Unconditional servant girls, and
might also multiply deposits ut the
bank. What we have now declared
is no new thing, no first discov-
cry. Some 40 years ago London
preacher found it needful to exhort
his congregation to general abate-
ment Of their annual expenditure
and style Of living. The advice, like
much advice Of value, firmly given,
without vanity, was taken in good
part, and the result was good. Why,
cannot other ministers in London do
the same? Economy in habitude of
life, in family and personal expendi-
ture, is the foundation of q multitude
OF virtues, and especially of individ-
ual sclf-respect and of financial
liberality.
