"They talk more than we do at din
ner, and l really believe their dinner
hour has more cheerfulness and lively
good humor in IL than ours.
"They linger around the table, and 1t
isn't long then from the time they rise
from the dinner table until afternoon
coffee, at about 4. This is scarcely
meal, just cup of coffee and some
kind of cake. Afternoon coffee is moe
for the women than the men, although
you often find middle-aged and elderly
men making a break in the afternoons
business affairs to drink a cup of cof-
fee and chat for half an hour.
1.-The final meal of the day comes at
about o'clock, and such an hour for
a meal strikes me as stupidity. 1t
comes just at the right time to spoil
the evening.
Now at what hour of the day is a
German housekeeper free from kitchen
cares? What do you imagine our SER
wants would say to such arrangements?
but it is all labor of love to the
German housewife. There isn't stroke
in all her days work that is done
grudgingly. The completeness and or
der of her household are her pride, ana
she would think our simple household
arrangements were nothing but proofs
of laziness and general unfitness for
woman's real duties. No amount of
| the time for other things that we
| think so much of would tempt her to
| leave out the slightest of her unceas-
| ing ministrations to the comfort of her
| family.
| Mrs. Grover Cleveland is the most
popular woman in Princeton Her
charming, unaffected ways captured
the hearts of the people. Rarely a day
passes that she is not out on the
| streets walking with her three daugh-
! tiers. She mods to all the townspeople
! and has a pleasant word for most OF
| them Her visiting list is one of the
| largest in Princeton and many names
| are on il that do not belong in Prince
tons exclusive society. Mrs. Cleveland
belongs to the charitable societies and
takes a personal interest in their work.
She visits sick neighbors and takes an
active interest in everything that goes
on.
She is as charming as when she went
| to the White House a bride.
| When a reporter called at the Cleve-
| land home last week to inquire about
| the ex-Presidents health she came
bounding down the stairs to answer
I the inquiry. Her dress was simplicity
| itself She wore a walking gown of
heavy dark material and a waist of
black stuff, with dots and white. She
wore no jewelry. Her face was tanned
! and beamed with perfect health. Her
eyes were as clear and frank as they
in bride
of the White House she won the hearts
of the whole country. She evidently
lives much in the open air.
She devotes most of her time to her
household, her three girls, Ruth, Es-
Their, Marion, and her boy Dick. Dick
is now two years old. The girls are
cared for by d governess. The quiet
life Is as much to Mrs. Cleveland'S
taste as 1t is to that of her husband.
She was first to fall in love with
Princeton and suggested 1t as a. future
home She had gone to Princeton with
Mr.. Cleveland, where he was to speak
at the sesquicentennial. She was i'm
pressed by the quiet. dignified air of
the town and wanted to go there to
live. The idea pleased Mr.. Cleveland,
and he bought his present home from
Mrs. Slidell His lectures at Princeton
are feature of the university. His
ished plan of the Princeton. people.
They are looking forward to the in
stitution of a big law department,
over which he will preside.
With her Isolde triumph, which oc-
Cured in November, 1895, Nine. Nor
IDEAS career reached its high-water
mark, and there she has maintained
herself ever since. She is the perfect
embodiment of the character. 1t is
not amiss. says the Woman's Home
Companion, to say here that her per-
sonal appearance is a great aid to her
complete realization of the role. A
homely Isolde, no matter how perfect
vocally and dramatically, is a paradox.
When, in the second act, Isolde stands
on the garden steps and waves her veil
