executed with such poetry of motion that
the little dancer was recalled several
times.

From the standpoint of a philoso
pher, or even from that of a person
sensible enough to want to be fairly
well let alone in the world, the Office
of president of the United States is
one that has to be paid for the most
dearly by the incumbent.
Mr.. Mckinley has fairly started in
on the regular weekly ordeal of ex-
hibiting himself to the crowd at the
White House. This he must keep up
four years if he lives.
No sooner was the president through
ception day than Is or 20 senators
and representatives were waiting to
be received, This over the regular
cabinet meeting followed. While this
was taking place some 1900 people
had assembled to shake hands with
him. They were all ages, colors and
conditions. Many women car ried
their babies in their arms, some
smelled strongly of intoxicants and
were not over clearly.
It then became the presidents duty
to stand until he had shaken hands
with 1895 people. Some thrust their
babes into his face, some made i'm
pertinent remarks, some squeezed
his hand with grips that kept up
running torture. This continued 81
minutes at the rate of 45 shakes
minutes, until cut off by time limita-
ton. Escaped from this the presi-
dent was relentless persued by col
ored admirer dragging big dog and
chain behind him which he had come
to present as one of the future guard
ians of the White House.
A man need not be selfish, egotistic
or exclusive not to envy the man
woom the people set up to be their
chief magistrate at the cost of thus
being obliged to make public show
of himself largely to crafty the shall
low curiosity of people who came to
Washington to see the sights.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Ideas of This Season In Decorating-In-
teresting Information-Flavo
ing Boiled Fish.

A pretty and artistic way in which to
treat the floors of bedrooms, especially
those in summer homes is described by
The Decorator and Furnisher 1t is to
enamel them in the colors used on metal
bedsteads. These dull shades harmonic
beautifully with the new wall papers
and the mating and denim used for
wainscoting. Moss green single stain
and the dull copper color used on roofs
are very effective with white woodwork,
and Dutch blue enamel is just the thing
for the floor of a room where the fash
ionable delft coloring is desired. No
matter what color is chosen, the effect
will be better if the floor matches the
tone of the walls The enameled floor
should be vanished and beeswaxed to
gain the best results.
Among other things of interest to
those who are refurnishing and decorat-
ing, mentioned by the journal quoted,
are the following:
Denims this season are beyond ques
ton a veritable charm. They are in
splendid white patterns, over the rich
blue, sometimes in two toned effects, in
patterns taken from old French produc-
llOuS. WudI IL lluu 10 JLc HOIlcLldkcI
of limited means these denims arel
What charm for pillows, table covers,
screens, a. curtain to closet door or
bathroom window-stuffs rich in effect
for every home, if it consists only of one
room.
Papers as wall coverings are so great
in glowing hues that there no doubt
will be soon a reaction in these snowy
effects. In fact, the plain cartridge pa
per is the one for pictures, in which one
sees only the tint and not decided fig
ure. OF all places, halls may be given
to large effects in striking colors. They
furnish the walls and add to the stair
case, making the whole comfortable
place, giving it warmth and cozy
look, and, above all, style where, for
these spaces, especially narrow ones,
decoration does not stand out well. But
every place has its possibilities, and on
that must the decorator work until
fact is accomplished.
1t is easy to sin in the matter of dra-
peries. There is constant danger of keep
ing out light, of hanging a material to,
heavy in texture, or of so mounting il
that it becomes fixture The use main
ly of semitransparent stuffs at the win
Opaque fabrics is recommended for por-
there's. When child's bedstead is TO be
draped, such light things as chintz,
eastern silk or silkoline are the best to

townsmen, word to you: What is
your duty in regard to orr schools?
The Supt., directors and teachers
may do their best, but they cannot
make our schools what they might DE
and ought to be, without your coope-
ration. How can you help? BY show
ing an interest, by visiting the schools
occasionally, by seeing that your chill
dren are at school every day on time.
By encouraging the pupils and speak
ing kindly word to, or for the teach
ers, and supporting the efforts of the
Supt. and teachers. In these and
many other ways you may help, and
when the whole town is awake and
alive to the Importance of lifting our
schools to a higher level, then will
the day draw near when Glover shall
stand in the foremost ranks in school
work. Let us all do what we can to
hasten that glad day.
