which come within tho financial reach of
many. They are presented in various
shapes and designs. and with few excep-

Dinner Suggestions.

For little home dinners the small red
cabbages that come from Germany are ex-
tremely attractive when used for both dish
and salad. For a large dinner PARTY how
ever. they are much too small.
Cheese usually is passed after this salad,
and the favorite sort at present seems to
be cream cheese much softened and with
chopped cucumber mixed through it, The
taste given by the cucumber is delicate and
unusual
The custom also prevails at every FASH
ionable dinner Of passing ono perfectly
simple old English cheese. the omission OF
which TO many diners out Is the one thing
objectionable.
Evening journal., 1907-04-18

a rather. more elaborate style that requires
the aid of satin or velvet trimmings Is the
more satisfactory for the cheaper grade OF
material.
The pOmpadour silks are good invest
ments at the present moment and the odd
shades are to be carefully sought, as they
make up in a more distinctive effect than
the rather more ordinary designs. The
queer two toned colorings. shading from
blue TO mauve and with strange Powered
designs, are extremely smart and not al
ways too expensive. They are suitable for
the simple styles of evening gowns to be
worn now and will be most useful in the
summer season, as they are in keeping
with the picturesque fashions that are 50
rapidly gaining a hold on popular favor.
Plain and satin finished crepe de Chine
are the best to choose. for oddly enough,
the figured ones never make up so satls-
factorily and are generally more expensive

ambitions.
The case of the Grants at once sug-
gests itself. There are two Of them
now holding high places in public es-

Grant, has followed the calling Of his
father, and is a soldier. The other,
Jesse Grant, who has spent most of
his years in California, was not quite

Der Of boomers suggested him as avail

Then folks began to sit up and take
notice and ask questions about Jesse
Grant
They found out that Jesse was the
third son of Lees conqueror, that hav-
ing retired from business, in which he
acquired literally of wealth, he is now
settled down in New York.
Perhaps the strongest plank in Mr..
Grants platform is opposition to Mr..
Roosevelt He does not believe in the
policies inaugurG~sd by the strenuous
man from Sycamore Hill. He does not
think trust is necessarily pernicious,
he favors a restriction of immigration,
and ne deplores the ceremonials that
are now deemed essential to White
house hospitality.
Mr. Grant delights to recall the
days when his father was president,
and to tell of their simplicity. His
fathers first act, he says, was to order
out of the White House all the soldiers
placed there on guard.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply.
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al.
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip.
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti,
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu.
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely we'll, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
I'm July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty.
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of tOrturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

looks pale and startled enough cer-
tainly But l say again-let us not be
too hasty; there are strange cases on
record of accidental resemblance, aud
this may be one of them"
AS he repeated these words, Danville
looked at him with faint, cringing
gratitude stealing slowly over the blank
terror of his face. He bowed his head,
murmured something, and gesticulated
conflsedly with the hand that he was
free to use.

Berthelin, he denies the mans iden-
tity.''

appealing to Trudaine. Have you
proofs to confute him? If you have pro-

Before the answer could be given, the
door leading into the drawing-room
from the staircase was violently flung
open, and Madame Danville-her hair
in disorder, her face in it's colorless ter
ror, looking like the very counterpart
of her son's-appeared on the threshold
with the old man Dubois and group
of amazed and startled servants behind
her.

one day casually remarked to one of his

Have Chance of Reaching High Place of Honor Held
by Their Respective Fathers.

avidity but he is a dyed-in-the-wool
for return to those ancient doctrines
with whose authorship Thomas Jeffer-
son is most popularity credited
The other prominent Grant, Fred
erick Dent Grant, is not now a presi-
Dental suggestion even, but the adj
vance of man in the military service
is often meteoric. Riding up San
Juan hill put Theodore Roosevelt in
the White House, and it is ever a pos
sibility that Gen Grant, who bears a
most striking resemblance to his dis
tinguished father, might figure in
some episode of valor that would at
a stroke lift him above the choices of
the politicians.
Gen. Grant is one of the most ia
.vored men in the service, President
Roosevelt in particular reposing the
utmost confidence in him.
Though he is much younger, Secre-
tary of the Interior James Rudolph
Garfield, youngest son of the martyred
president, perhaps stands a better
chance of some day going to the seat
his father occupied than any other
presidents son.
His career has been of the kind that
invites expectation. He was a boy
around the White House, he went to
school at Mentor, studied law, gradu-
ated, made himself an honorable rec
ord in the Ohio senate, and then came
to Washington.
1t is a fact not generally remem-
bered that James Rudolph Garfield
was not Mr.. Roosevelt's first choice
for civil service commissioner The
place was originally offered to his
brother, Harry A Garfield, a leading
Ohio attorney and man who gained
fame because of the persistency with
which he has opposed political cor
ruption in the state. Harry declined
the place, and it then went to James
R.
AS soon as the latter got a foothold
at the capitol, he made a quick i'm
preston, and proved to President
Roosevelt that he is the kind of man
needed to aid in the administrations
war on corporations. In a short time
he had been advanced from the civil
service department and made commits
siCner of corporations. 1t was in this
post that he did his most notable
work, and as a reward, he was finally
taken to the official family of the pres
ident as secretary Of the interior

father was.
The decision of Mr. Lincoln to with
draw himself from politics is general
ly regretted, nor it is no unkindness
to the other sons of presidents to say
that he was generally considered to be
the ablest of them all.
Garfield has the best chance, for he
is in the cabinet of president who is
the idol of his party, and he is young
enough to build up a sentiment that in
eight years from now ought to bring
him to the fore. Moreover, he comes
