Mr.. Depew spoke in opposition to the
statehood bill. He did not conclude.

Qualities of an Entertainer.

Cooking Club: A Hurried hostess or
nervous host whose countenance but bad
ly conceals the worry felt, can do no more
toward making the guests uncomfortable
than if the soup were stone cold and the
salad dressing was ruined by a too boun-
tiful quantity of vinegar.
An imperturbable calm and a ready tact
are the two important factors in the
making of a model hostess. Secure these
and you need never fear for the sue
cess Of any Of your entertainments.
There is no quality more to be desired
to make a woman a social success than
that Of tact. Its possessor knows the
right thing to do and the right time for
doing it, and thus gains a reputation for
cleverness and for many virtues which a
t~actleSs woman would never win from her
circle of acquaintances, no matter how
excellent her qualities of both heart and
head.
The tactful woman is not only a patient
listener, but she is Il thoroughly good one.
She knows no WEAKNESS even when she
has heard the same story more than once
from the same person, and she smiles in
the right place, and appears to enjoy
hearing jokes as much as her companion
enjoys telling them. Tact is a weapon
guided with a multitude of precautions
and feminine wiles by the wise woman,
and 1t is only the wise who possess it.

HON
Mistake of Women Who Are Always
Eiqhtinu Dust.

iJiN'iiS obS
From the Cooking school: The truest
homes are often in houses not especially
we'll kept, where the comfort and hap
piness of the inmates, rather than eX-
IRENE .idiness and the preservation OF the
furnicurc, is first consulted. The object
OF the home is to be the center, the pivot
on which the family life turns. The first
requisite is TO make 1t SO attractive thai
none of its members shall care to linger
long outside its limits. Al legitimate
means should be employed TO this end and
no effort spared that can contribute to
this purpose. There are many houses
called homes, kept with such waxy neat
ness by painstaking, anxious women, that
are so oppressive in their nicely as to
exclude all home feeling from their spot
less precincts. The very name Of home is
synonymous with personal freedom and
relaxation from care; solid comfort.
But neither of these can be felt where
such a mania for external cleanliness per-
Vades the household as to render every
thing else subservient thereto. Many
housewives, If they see a speck on floor
or wall, or a bit of thread or paper on the
lloor, rush at it as if it were the seed of
peStilence, which must be removed on the
instant. Their temper depends upon their
maintenance of perfect purity and order.
II there be any failure on their part or
any combination OF circumstances against
them, they fall into a pathetic despair and
can hardly be lifted out. They do not see
that cheerfulness is more needful to home
than all the SpotleSsneSs that ever Shone.
Their disposition 70 wage war upon mac
ulateness Of any sort increases until they
become slaves OF the broom and dustpun.
Neatness is one thing and a state of per-
petual housekeeping quite another.
Out OF this grows by degrees the feeling
that certain things and apartments are too
good for daily use. Hence, chairs and
sofas are covered and rooms shut up, save
for special occasions, when they are per-
mitted TO reveal their violated s~acrednes5
in Il manner that mars every pretense of
hospitality. Nothing should be bought
which is considered too fine for the full
est domestic appropriation. Far better is
the plainest furniture on which the chill
drcn can climb than satin and damask
which must be viewed with reverence.
When any thing is reserved or secluded, 10
disguise the fact is extremely difficult. A
chilly air wraps it round, and the repul-
sion of strangenesS is experienced by the
most inSenSible.
Home is not Il NAME, nor a form, nor a
routine. Material and method will not
aud cannot make it. 1t must get it's light
and sweetness from those who inhubit ii,
from flowers and sunshine, from the sym
pathetic natures which, in their exercise
of sympathy, can lay aside the tyranny
of the broom and the awful duty of end
less sCrubbing.

What happy days are those when all
our friends say "How well you look"
We "a bring those days by a little
care in the selection of food just as

three years and last summer was so
bad l was unable to attend school," he
says: 81 was very thin and my appe-
tite at times was poor, while again it
was craving. l was dizzy and my food
always used to ferment instead Of di-
costing. Crossness, unhappiness and
nervousness were very prominent
symptoms.
Late in the summer 1 went to visit
a sister and there I saw and used
Grape-Nuts. l had heard of this fam
Gus food before, but never was inter
ested enough to try it, for l never knew
how really good it was. But when I
came home we used Grape-Nuts in our
household all the time and l soon be-
gan to note changes in my health. 1
improved steadily and am now strong
and well in every way and am back at
school able to get my lessons with ease
and pleasure and can remember them,
too, for the improvement in my mental
power is very noticeable and I get good
marks in my studies which always
seemed difficult before.
