THE HABIT OF FLUSHING.
by Cynthia Grey.


The habit of fussing over wha,
cant be cured and must be endured
is habit to which nine out of every
ten housekeepers sooner OF later bow
in submission.
Calls are often spoiled because the
hostess happens to have been de-
tanned in the kitchen and Is still In
her morning dress. 1t takes a cour-
ageous little woman to seat herself
in kitchen garb and to give herself
up to the pleasure of entertaining her
caller.
Any woman can fume and fuss
about her troubles and make endless
excuses to her caller, who doesn' {
care to hear them.
Impromptu meals are often spoiled
by numberless apologies made by the
hostess, who is ashamed, chagrined,
crushed and uncomfortable through
out the meal, not only permitting
herself to be miserable, but making
the guest wish himself hundred or
more miles away.
1T TAKES A GENEROUS, COR
DIAL LITTLE HOUSE WIFE TO
SIT DOWN TO A MEAL WHICH is
NOT UP TO THE STANDARD AND
TO SERVE 1T WITH THE EASE
WITH WHICH SHE WOULD SERVE
A FEAST
Amy woman can fret and fuss all
through the meal until both she and
her guest are in danger of indiges-
ton from the food that is eaten UNI
der such a strain.
At house cleaning time, when a
guest arrives unexpectedly and must
be entertained in chairs that are COW
cred with canvas and are not even
in place but huddled in one corner,
n TAKES A GENTLE WOMAN TO
TOSS OFF THE COVERS OF TWO
CHAIRS AND INTEREST HER I'M
EXPECTED GUEST IN CONVERSA-
TION FOREIGN TO THE CIRCUM-
STANCES AROUND THEM.
Any woman can squirm and fidget
for an hour about the untidiness of
her home and spoil the visit because
she is unable to rise above her sur
roundings.
The habit of fussing is surely a
bad one. If the meal might have
been better then 1t should have been

1t is as good as was possible under
the circumstances, then no excuses
are necessary.
WHEN CONDITIONS CANNOT BE
BETTERED THERE is BUT ONE
THING TO DO, AND THAT is TO
RISE ABOVE THEM
The woman who can rise above
discomfort makes her guest comfort
able and keeps herself young.
The woman who, in spite of tu-
multi and unusual disorder and lack
of preparation can MAKE A GUEST
FEEL THAT HE is WELCOME, NO
MATTER WHAT is WRONG OR
OUT OF PLACE, is genteel. woman

iebos OF ST. Leo's church, when Miss
IDA Leon Mackay, daughter of Mrs.
NJ. Mackay, was mann ed to Mr. En-
nest Oberteuffer of Seattle The
bride made a charming picture in a
handsome gown of white duchesse
satin, enveloped in the shimmering
white folds OF the long Guile veil
carried a large shower bouquet of
white rosebuds
The maid of honor was the brides
sister, Miss Maude Mackay. She
wore a dainty gown of yellow silk
tissue -over yellow taffeta, and car
ried roses of a corresponding color.
The bridesmaids, Miss Elizabeth Ell
lington and Miss Ethel Enright, were
prettily costumed in pink cniTon over
pink taffeta, and carried pink carna-
lions Dr.. c. NJ. Moore attended the
groom
The bride was given away by her
cousin, James Cameron Of Orillia
Following the wedding ceremony, at
which only the immediate friends of
the family were present, an elaborate
reception was held at the home of
the brides mother, 21S North G
street, where a sumptuous wedding
collation. was served to a large as
semb1y of guests. Music was provided
by a string orchestra hidden behind
the palms in the library.
The rooms were handsomely deco
pafpd with ctty1,rtp1. dCurorg auI rrrNo,,
foliage. The reception hall was artis-
tieally draped with mountain ash ber-
ries and festoons of ivy. The parlors,
in white. and the dining room, in
pink, were fragrant with the per-
fume of banks of carnations and
roses.
Mr. and Mrs. Oberteuffer left dur
ing the evening for a trip through
California. They will be at home to
their friends at 1919 Second avenue

this waiting for the summons tc

What do these elderly friends of
yours and mine find to think about ?
Time was when they were sought
that time is past. They are not
sought, their advice is not asked.
their desires are not considered ana
their tastes are old fashioned and not
to be followed.
AS they sit in this enforced idle
ness of age and think and rock. the
contrast between these DAYS and bet
ter, liyelier, more fruitful days can
but strike sorrow to their hearts.
Do the young folks ever think fus;
what it means to be old, neglected
forgotten?

THE MYSTERY OF THE CHEESE; OR

ST. LOUIS, July 2S.-Missouri's
monster cheese in the agricultural
building is no more. 1t got into bad
odor with members of the Missouri
commission and everyone else, and
now it has gone.
The Missouri cheese weighed $500
pounds. The agricultural building at
times is intensely hot. Under the
circumstances, any one cheese might
have been expected to raise the roof.
but the Missouri monster, it was
feared, would not stop at that. and
even the sky was in danger So the
cheese has departed.
The cheese was great help to
TIE blind. It was sort of a guiding
stone for those bereft of sight. Peo-

strike, and wives, whose husbands
visited the building, insisted on hub

The cheese, as far as known, is
the only one that was ever strong
enough to make its presence felt a
long way off to one approaching with
a strong wind at his back.
What fate the cheese met is a
mystery. Suffice be it that it is gone

Cross-Town Railway.
the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The report in last evening s. Star on the
opposition to the proposed Occupation OF M
street by an electric railroad has attracted
special attention, 1 think, because OF the
treatment of the Commissioners of the Dis
trict by the Senate committee. The citizens
of the District know that dur CSmmiss oners
are capable and ainstakfng1 ofhclais. Ihey
give hearings to the people and investigated
all the facts with regard to the proposed
railway with scrupulous care. AS result
they submitted a full report to the commit
tee. This report manifests a thorough
knowledge Of the needs of our people anu
offers some pertinent suggestions that are
well founded and reasonable. -.
1t seems strange. indeed. that the senate
committee should ignore this document ana
Incorporate in their report to the. senate
statements that are in direct contradiction
of the conclusions reached by the commas
sioners.
i-y present purpose Is to point out the Iact
that the Senate report Is calculated TO mis-
lead the public into belief that the DIS
trict Commissioners had recommended M
street as a proper location for the railroao
AS a matter of fact the commissioners
did not recommend M street. Ihey dio
recommend the use of existing lines Ihey
favored the extension of the Capital Trac-
ton line from U street along Florida avenue
and 9Th street northeast to the junction OF
the Pennsylvania avenue line.
