THE BEST BEAUTY DOCTOR
What a Mother Can Do to Make Her
Children Attractive In the
Highest Sense.

Every mother Is the best beauty-doe-
tor to her own child. We have met
mothers who spent a great deal Of time
identifying their children's garments,
to the detriment Of what is real beau
tifying-the identifying Of the soul
forgetting that the eyes are the win
dows Of the soul" and beauty is as
beauty does
It is as natural for a little child to
wish to be beautiful as it is for flow
er to turn to the sun. Watch your wee
daughter some time, when she is IN
conscious Of your presence, before q
mirror. See how she turns this way
and that, smOoths out a crease, or pats
a ribbon, all the while smiling at the
reflection, as she stands there, and
finally turning away with the smile
lingering In her eyes and at the cor
ners of her mouth-for she has learned
that a smiliug face Is more beautiful
that one that froWns. And your boy?
Have you ever watched him unobserved
as he adjusts his collar and tie before
the mirror? At first there are grimaces
reflected in the glass, for the little lad
finds It as dificult as does his father
at times to adjust the refractory collar
button. But when It is adjusted and
the collar and tie are in place, watch
your boy straighten and throw back
his head fearlessly, as though he fell it
a ine thing to turn and face the world
with shoulders back and face erect
81 want to be beautifulfike mamma,"
cried q ssTen-year-old girl in our hear
ing.
"And what makes your mother beau
tiful-her fine clothes?" we asked, as
our eyes wandered to the perfectly
goWned young mother in the next
room.
'Why, no. She looks Just as nice in
her old dress a. she does IN her new
one. It's cause she's always 50 kind
and sweet to everybody. and II shows
right IN her face" was the answer.
The little maid had put the matter in
nutEhsll. Teach your children that
beautiful thoughts and beautiful deeds
stand for the highest and best in the
art Of real Identifying. remembering
always that example is better than pre-
eept, and that children are apt imita-

and a miniature kitchen erected at
Potsdam is the result.
The room in which the princess
learns to make the delicacies dear to
the German heart is Just on the great
palace kitchen presided over by "Ober-
hofkuchenmeister" Huebner, a function
airy just as high and mighty as his 20
lettered title-"chief court kitchen
master"-WOuld Indicate. Huebner is
the cooking teacher for the princess.
The Chicago Tribune claims that her
kitchen is a model on a reduced scale
Of the court kitchen. II Is equipped
with a tiny range Of fits own, with
sinks and racks Of utensils, barrels,
boxes and chests, just as one finds them
in a typical, well ordered German
housewives establishment. The prin-
cess viii spend two hours in the kitch-
en- each afternoon with the faithful
Huebner at her elbows showing the art
Of the simpler processes Of baking and
cooking generally.
The princess has warned her father
and mother that presently she intends
to surprise them with something Of her
own making, and epoch making win be
the day when she tries It on" her
fond parents and brothers.
Princess Victoria Louise Is q blonde
and has blue eyes-a typical German
girl-and looks like her father. She
gives promise Of being tall and Of at
tractive, slender figure. She Is always
tastefully dressed, usually in white
when she Is seen in public, and her APP
pearanee in Inter den Linden, driV-
ing with her mother or her goVerness,
Is always the signal for much Affection
ate amusement, for she has been taught
to bow most seriously when her faith
er's loyal subjects lift their hats in 81
lutte.
AS she is the only girl IN 90 big and

A FAD WORTHY OF PRAISE.
The DoWry Chest, Filled with Many

Engaged Girls.

Quite the newest idea for engaged
girls Is the wedding chest, says a writer
IN the St Louis Post-Dispatch, and
even girls who are not engaged are the
secret possessors Of this sentimental
and, at the same time, sensible article.
The wedding chest may be a fine new
trunk, Of the latest style, or It may be
a plain wooden affair, prettily covered
and lined with Powered ehintz.
The idea is to fill the chest with pref
ty things to wear, or for the furnishing
and decoration Of a home. One girl Is

on the continent which can empty itself
more speedily than Washington Of the
transient visitors who give life to It
while congress Is here.
The session Of congress which has Just
come to an end has not been rich in the
making Of regulations. If any one man
has grown greatly in the estimation Of
house and senate it is Speaker Cannon,
who, In q single session, has enrolled
among the little group Of really great
speakers who kaye presided over the de-
hberatiOns Of the house. There are not
many Of them Clay, Colfax, Blaine,
Carlisle and Reed are the names which
occur easily to anybody with a historical
bent Of mind, and it Is high tribute to
Cannon that at the close Of an unusually
short and uneYentful session, there
should be many who are disposed to
group him with the historic lights.
Both republicans and democrats unite
TO sing Cannon's praises. He is as high
" regarded on the democratic side Of the
house as among his own party associates.
Even the most hopeless partisans are
forced to admit that they have no com
plant to make against the speaker on
account Of his conduct in the chair. So
free from partisanishp has he been that
the house has been treated several times
TO q spectacle hitherto unprecedented
since the creation Of the committee on
rules. That committee more than once
has made reports providing special or
ders for legislation in which the repub-
Hcans and democrats on the committee
united in unanimous action. II this had
happened In the administrations Of Reed,
or Crisp, or Henderson, it would have
been thought that the heavens were
about to fall.

mental structures on Capitol Inn Whlc-N
win not be exceeded IA beauty and dig
nifty By any other group Of buildings tn
ne world.
The two new buildings win trans
form what has hitherto been regarded
as an unsightly section Of the city into
spot which win be worth travelling
thousands Of miles to see. Each Of the
new structures win occupy an entire
square, now filed with old houses and
defaced by giAring billboRrds. Under
the new arrangement each senator and
representative VIII be accommodated
with q ane suite Of rooms, handsomely
furnished and supplied with every com
fort that any working statesman could
desire.
It Is not 80 many years since a great
cutlery went up over the country be-
cause the senator's had bought an old
hotel, known as the Maltby house,
where those who could not be supplied
with rooms in the capitol kept their
secretaries and their records. Columns
were written about the rugs, and sofas,
and private baths with which these
rooms were furnished, and many peo-
pie throughout the country imagined
that the senate was lavishing the
money Of the taxpayers in oriental
luxury.
But times have changed. The Malt
by building is out Of date. Those sena-
tors who are condemned to occupy
rooms there regard It as a hardship,
and there are mutterings already about
the dilapidated condition OF the place.
But Il Is seen now that a senator, OF
a representative, for that matter, is en-
titled to at least as much consideration
in the choice Of his working establish
ment as a lawyer burdened with half
the business. AS It Is. many repre-
sentatiFes are compelled to lease
rooms outside the capitol.
With the increase in population Of
the country, the statesman in Wash
ington finds his work and responsible
fly thrice or four times as great as in
the days Of the seventies.

'Tt's a mistake to think that the Wis

Extreme Care Taken.

Especial to The Timcs-D ispatch.)
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 20.-The au-
thorities here now say that the Russian
reply to Japan will not be transmitted
until next weak,
1t is said that the delay was necessl-
tatcd in consequence Of the extreme
care taken In drafting tho document,
Viceroy Alexiaff's views are also awaited
before its Transmission to the Gear. y
1T is fully realized here that the for
wardlng Of the answer Will mark an
other critical stages In the negotiations,
everything depending on Japan's attitude.
1t Is feared that, despite pacific influ-
ences, the hands Of the authorities may
be forced on account OF the excitement
Of the press and Esople.
A high official said!
"Of course, we cannot prevent war.
Russia will do her utmost to offer Japan
a basis for a durable peace. but there are
Units beyond which we cannot go. In
Korea we grant practically everything.
and in Manchurla We already recognize
all the treaty rights of japan and all
the other powers. Should Japan reject
our concIllatory propositions the world
must place tho responsibility upon
