dents second daughter, who is two and
half years old. developed symptoms of
measles about that hour.
immediately there was great excitement
throughout the mansion. The President

the Cabinet officers in town that there
would be no Cabinet meeting. Miss Beth
mann, the teacher OF the White House
kindergarten, was sent post haste TO
Woodley. the Presidents country place,
and hurried preparations were made for
taking Esther and her sisters there.
Shortly afterward the sick child was
sent TO Woodicy in closed carriage, ac-
couipanied In that and another vehicle by
her mother, nurses and sisters.

The Latest in Baby Culture.

1t is difficult to take gloomy views OF
this frivolous age In listening to two
radiant young mothers discuss nursery
foods and hygiene. Il alwa vs. begin to feed
at two one sa ys, looking at the same time
so young and gay that one wonders how
came the nursery accumulation that brought
forth so much wisdom. The great-grand-
niotherliness OF their ideas was Interesting.
II lost my first baby through steriIized
milk said one. 1t had just been brought
out, and the doctors would have it, and /
guve up. There was no nourishment in 1t.
My baby simply starved to DEATH SO
they both extolled the first principles to
which they had returned.
1t seems, however, that there is doctor
who, at great cost, made a speciality Of baby
nourshment. The new baby is handed
over 20 its medical adviser, who makes a
special study of its constitution and needs.
Whatever it may have In excess or lack is
remedied in its food. When it Is ailing
this doctor is called in on the same errand.
This is the latest thing in baby culture.

mission with respect, but confessed their
old-fashioned preferences.-New York Jour-

Isabella Beecher Hooker.

OF Isabella Beecher Hooker. her laugh
ter once said: "Seeing her only with her
children you would think, This woman
lives only with her Children With her
husband you would say, What an ideal
marriage!' AS 4 housekeeper, What eX-
ecutive ability she showsr In her library
at her desk, you wouid find her reading
carefully on a score Of subjects besides
suffrage, and you would surely say, in
what science, art or philosophy is she not
interested?' Suffra gels but one Of The sub
jects on which that busy brain and large
heart are working If you were her friend,
you would rest secure, knowing that she
would never change, and that whatever
other might say OF you, she would be
loyal to the last. II you Were her enemy,
you might also rest secure. She would
never stab you, never bear malice and
would forgive you and forget you.''-

FANCY LACE PLASTRONS.

WITH a number OF pretty vests, a
w plain toilet easily may he converted
into a half dozen gowns. So, long
life to the piastron! Like every other
fashion which continues from season 10
season, this blossoms month after month
in more beautiful fabrics until today there
is no brocade too elegant, no silk too fine
for the vest front. Many toiIettes owe
their entire claim to distinction to a mar
row blouse of wonderfully lovely weave.
Perhaps the gcwn is OF black satin, but
the vest! oh. the vesti 1t might be OF si~
yer cloth, with roses red and large as life.
or perhaps black tuIle, delicate as spiders
web, with embroidered flowers and jeweied
dewdrops just at their hearts. The cflif-
fons are so extrava gantiy beautiful that,
think Of the choicest designs you may, you
will find it at the shops.
Expensive? Yes. But you have not to
buy large quantities. Sleeves need not be
made from it.-PhiIadelphia Times.

KOMAN'S SENSE OF SMELL.

~ OST people have different perceptions
| i OF colors in the two eyes, and have
greater power OF perceiving some
color, being correspopdingly blind to the
others. Tue only absolutely uon-color blind
person whom Mr.. LoTiboud has met is a
woman OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sensitive
ness OF wome u to color partly to an innate
faculty and partly to education. The su-
pcriority OF women in this respect is in

savants have proved that as regards the
sense OF smell. women are much less sensi

The Definition of Charm

Charm has always been more Or less
indefinabie quality. Charles Dudley War
ner says the woman who does not lnstinc-
lively know how to adjust the lights In
room is sure to be lacking in charm. This
would seem to make charm the subtle
quality which gives knowledge of what
is needed to put situations and people at
their best.
