The WASHINGTON LETTER.

Preliminary skirmishes in the presi-
dental campaign thus far have been
decidedly satisfactory. Little is now
heard Of 'Hanna booms," and all dis
content in republican ranks is expected
to disappear after the delegates to
Chicago are chosen. The president
has expressed the wish that good men
who are not Office holders may be
sent and there are a plenty of such.
The troubles of the democrats are so
much greater than those Of the repub-
licans, that attention Is now largely
concentrated upon that party. The
very existence Of its principles, says
Burke Cochran, depend upon its sue
cess in the pending campaign. The
"cheek and check-bOok' campaign of
Mr.. Hearst is noticeable but it is not
likely to cause the White House to be
painted yellow for a generation to
come. Senator, GOrman's troubles i'm
Maryland, in trying to land a senator
of his own choice, may yet relegate
him to his sylvan retreat at Laurel,
Md, 80 far as presidential aspirations
are concerned. Gen. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, says President Roosevelt has put
a star in the crown of his administra-
ton brighter than any American
president has worn for the past thirty
years. Senator Fairbanks is on the
slate for vice president, and fthe plan
natures it will go far towards solving
the problem in Indiana.

themselves to look sal1ow and wrinkled because
of those pains and weaknesses which become
chronic and are the result of colds, tight lacing,
and irnprudent of the won1anly system.

healthy color and bright eyes if it were not for
those drains on her strength and those weak
nesses which come all too frequently and make
her life miserable. There is a ready to-use Pre-

FAMILY LUNCHEONS.
(Bv Cornelia c. Bedford.)

Luncheon IS usually a woman s
meal, as in majority of families the
men can only appear at the table
morning and evening. Such being
the case it too frequently happens
that mistresses allow this meal to be
prepared and served In a careless,
even slovenly fashion and that the
dishes are but too palpably rehash
of previous meals.
Now there is no reason why the re-
mains Of yesterdays roast should
not serve for today's luncheon, but
there is no need of serving it in an
unappetizing manner; nor does it
| follow that because the meal is
simple one the maid should shirk her
duties or perform them in slip-shod
| fashion. Remnants often taste bet
ter in combination than in their orig
inal form, but they should appeal to
the eye as well as to the palate, while
the maid who IS allowed to be care
less at lunch is soon likely to be
/ equally slack at breakfast and final
| ly at dinner.
The menus which follow are meant
to be suggestive:
Baked Bean Soup.
Mutton Hash in Pepper Shells.
Brown Bread.
Canned Fruit. Cocoa.
Potato Soup in Cups.
Corned Beef Salad
Hot Milk Biscuit. Tea
! Cheese Pudding. Lettuce Salad
Cake. Fruit. Cocoa.
