The people who have opportunity to
know Miss Ethel best and who delight to
call her the little hausfrau of the presl-
Dental family, assert that when the pub
lie has an opportunity to get better
acquainted with her through the news
papers 1t will not be sparing In Its ad-
miratlon for the young daughter of the
Rough Rider President, who is so typical
a chip off the old block. She Is sweet.
unassuming, dutiful girl, who is refresh
ingly natural ana VINO. IN word and man
ner, appears to be bllssfully unconscious
of the fact that her father is president
OF the United States.
For a time after the Roosevelt family
removed to Washington Miss Ethel re-
ceived her education at the hands of a
governess, but for several years past she
has been a pupil at the National Cathedral
School an institution which was founded
through the llberslity of Mrs. Hearst and
Is under the direction of the Episcopal
Bishop of Washington who married Rep
resentative Longworth and Miss Alice
Roosevelt The Cathedral School although
located in the District of Columbia, Is dis
tant a considerable distance from the
White House, and so Miss Ethel Is a
boarding pupil at the institution, but re-
turns to the presidential mansion each
week to spend the interval between Fri
day and Monday.

White House belle has taken up pyrog
raphy. and among her first attempts In
burnt-wood decoration was a desk set,
which now has the place of honor on the
Presidents table In the library or ''den"
on the second floor of the White House.
where from 8 O'Clock until midnight on
the average evening the nations ruler puts
In the hardest work of the day.
That Miss Ethel is a very versatile
young person will be appreciated when 1t
Is explained that she is also an enthusl-
astic amateur photographer. She has for
years taken piano lessons and bids fair to
become even more accomplished as a play
er than her elder half-sister. Inasmuch as
there are three pianos In the White House,
the young lady has plenty of opportunity
to practice at home as well as at the
school at which she is a pupil. The young
lady who has lately gained the right to
be designated as Miss Roosevelt does not
play tennis very frequently on the courts
back of the Presidents Office building, but
In the summer at the Oyster Bay estate
she Is very frequently an opponent of her
father in this game, and she is quite
capable of holding her own, too, in such
a contest In conclusion 1t may be said
that the new White House telle is sufi-
GENTLY unlike any previous occupant Of
this conspicuous position to merit much
attention for her own sake.
The Presidents daughter. who is very
companionable young lady, is enabled to
give her girl friends one rather unique
pleasure = nothing less than occasional
cruises on the Presidents private yacht
Sylph. Miss Ethel herself has been max
ing these cruises ever since the family
came TO Washington, and they have con-
stituted one of her chief pleasures. Since
she has been a pupil at the Cathedral
School she has taken to inviting various
classmates to participate in the outings.
Usually the party of young people is
chaperoned by Mrs. Roosevelt, but some
times Ethels aunt Mrs. Cowles, assumes
the pleasant duty. AS a rule the yacht
with Its party of fair tourists simply
cruises up and down the Potomac River,
but occasionally more or less time is spent
in Chesapeake Bay.

frock with a big ribbon bow tying her
hair at the neck and another brght-hued
bow across the top of her hair. All Miss
Ethel's young friends rather expected
that she would appear In her first long
dress on the occasion of her sisters we'd
ding. but such dignity could scarcely be
claimed for the dainty gown of white
silk mousseline, trimmed with French
lace. in which she was attired on that
important occasion.
In point of health, Miss Ethel Roosevelt
is even better equipped than was her Sis
ter for a strenuous social career at the
presidential mansion. President Roosevelt
has repeatedly asserted that he likes to
see young girls more or less tomboys,
and his second daughter has been his
ideal In this respect. During her earlier
years, at the homestead at Oyster Bay,
she was almost constantly in the COM
pany of her four energetic and athletic
brothers, and, quite naturally, she learned
to vie with and In many instances to excel
them in all sorts of outdoor pastimes.
Miss Ethel, who strongly resembles her
mother in features, was always known
among friends of the family as an
exceptionally affectlonate child. One of
her mothers intimates often relates an
incident that happened years ago. when
the new White House belle was a wee
maiden. As the lady who had called
upon Mrs. Roosevelt sat awaiting the
appearance of her hostess she felt a touch
on her arm, and, turning, found Ethel
slipping a hand into hers. I'm not al

diton to this tapestry-the most valuable

Roosevelt also received a personal gift
from the President of France in the form
of two Sevres vases. somewhat similar to
those which France presented to the
White House during the administration of
the late President Mckinley.

lace formerly owned by the Empress
Josephine. The piece of headgear cost,
including the expense for the services OF
the expert many hundreds Of dollars. A
Pittsburg friend of the groom sent a
nine-month old Boston terrier OF the
bluest of blue blood. The little animal
weighs only Is pounds and cost 81, 500.
An old Indian squaw In New Mexico sent
to the bride one of the finest Navajo

piece of velvet. The hair is on the out
side of the vest and the lining Is beau
tifully woven bit of blanket cloth. The
buttonholes are carefully worked and the
whole garment IL thing of exquisite
beauty. The Indians who came to Wash
ington to bestow this present, headed by
Horse Chief, went direct to the White
House and there asked audience with the
Great Father. Mr.. Roosevelt received the
redmen In his private office, and Horse
Chief made the presentation speech In
the language of the Poncas, which was
translated for the Presidents benefit by
an Interpreter. President Roosevelt prais-
ed the beauty and value of the present
and promised to give 1t to his future
son-in-law at the first opportunity.
The associates in Congress of Repre-
sentative Longworth united In the pre-
sentation to the bride of three beautiful
presents. The New York delegation In
the House OF Representatives selected a
magnificent set of Tiffany fevrile glass.
In the set are FIVE dozen wine glasses and
dozen plates, as well as dozen plates
TO hold as many finger bowls. There are
a. dozen champagne glasses. dozen for
port. another dozen for claret, as many
more for hook and u for cordias. Each
piece of the service has the peacock eye
in the center and no pieces are of pre-
cisely the same hue. The glasses, plates

white case lined with white silk.
The Ohio delegation In Congress fur

the top and bottom and Is suitably en-
graved. The House OF Representatives

Representative Longworth Is member,

scribed TO Alice Lee Roosevelt In script.
This favored bride OF the year received
jewels. and particularly diamonds, which
bring into her possession gems that vie
in value with those possessed by any
other American women. not excepting
those daughters of Miss Columbia who
have married titled foreigners and are
thus privileged to wear the ancestral
Jewels of some OF the Oldest houses In
Europe. In addition 10 the rope of
pearls from the Republic OF Cuba the
bride received from the groom a neck

Cooking Tobacco Leaves in England.

When tobacco was first introduced in
England by Sir Francis Drake, in 1885,
or, as some say, by Sir John Hawkins,
In 1855, 1t cost three shillings and four
pence an ounce, and even at that price
1t was not sweetened. Nowadays nearly
all tobaccos when undergoing the neces-
sary process for consumption are sweet
ened by using sugar, honey. molasses,
chicory and other ingredients, in spite of
a very stringent law prohibiting all such
foreign substances under penalty of
$1,000. In spite of this, however, the
ubiquitous manufacturer does Introduce
forbidden Ingredients into many tobaccos.
What would a smoker say If he knew
that licorice, and even lampblack and
In some known cases rhubarb and cab
bage have been very cunningly blended
with the fragrant weed. The greater
portion of the imported raw material is
manufactured into pipe tobacco. of which
there are two main classes, the cut and
the cake or twist. The raw leaves of
what is called or intended to be sweet
ened or scented tobacco In the cut class
are first of all, stripped of their midrib,
and then are dampened and allowed to fer

the fneness varying according to require
ments. These cuttings afterwards go
under a process of pulling and mixing,
when there is added to the bulk the
sweetening compound. The various kinds
of Cavendlsh tobaccos are those usually
selected for sweetening and you BUY
them in packets bearing innumerabie
names, but nearly all come under the
head of Cavendlsh. The various kinds OF
honey dews. golden fakes. and, of course,

and bears the monogram of the bride
From the Orient, the eliminating scene
of the Longworth- Roosevelt courtship,
came several rare gifts The Empress of
China sent n richly carved dover chest
completely filled with valuable gifts of
silks, embroideries, ivory carvings and
lovely brca -brac. From the Emperor of
japan came two beautifully chased vases
of silver and a piece of wonderful jap
anese embroidery. The foundation of the
latter is piece of silk eight feet square.
The left corner shows a background of
heavy gold thread, but the major portion
of the design presents chrysanthemums
embroidered in white silk on gold. In
this connection 1t ay be mentioned that
the members of Secretary Taft's party,
who accompanied Alice Roosevelt and
Nicholas Longworth during the journey
In the course of which the Presidents
daughter said the all-important yes"
presented the young bride with pendant
and necklace Of aqua marine stones and
diamonds
The center of this pendant, contributed
by the fellow-voyagers of the White House
bride, is n large aqua marine stone. prob
ably the finest OF the kind In this country
and around it are clustered 100 small dia-
monds, while there are 20 larger diamonds
set at intervals In the chain. The mount
ings are of platinum and several hearts of
diamonds are formed about the pendant by
a clever arrangement of the settings. This
unique present, which Is said TO have cost
more than $1,S0O, occupies a solid silver
trunklike box which Is fitted with trays
specially arranged for the necklace and
other Jewels.
Pope Plus Y. sent a handsome mosaic
representing one OF the great paintings in
the Vatican and the King of Italy rendered
a mosaic table of superb Workmanship and
great beauty, depicting scenes of Italian
life. 1t was manufactured expressly for
Miss Roosevelt in Florence. The Emperor
of Austria sent a diamond and pearl pen
dant exquiste!y wrought and the King of
Spain contributed TO the treasure store
several pieces of antique jewelry of rare
design and great value.
There has probably never been we'd
ding where a greater proportion of the
presents were distinctly personal TO the
bride than In the case of the recent White
House nuptlas, but the groom was not
entirely forgotten. Representative Long
worth's most notable present was n buffalo
hide waistcaat valued at $500, but In reality
almost priceless because of the practical
extinction OF the buffalo, which was ten
dered by a delegation of the Ponca Tribe
of Indians. who tourneyed toN Washington
expressly for the purpose OF making the
donation
The particular hide from which this
priceless vaistcoat was made was tanned

Tribe and u ~ soft and nuapie ~
