The wife of President Roosevelt is
strongly inclined toward the simpler
modes of living, says the Delineator
for November.
When she is not on official duty,
Mrs. Roosevelt insists upon living her
life as any other American woman,
She frequently walks downtown to
the shops, unattended even by maid;
she makes her personal calls and sees
to little matters of her own home
circle with the same regularity and
devotion as in the years before the
duties of the White House entered
into her calculations. One point she
never neglects, and that is to be at

however, took the situation for grant,

In Mortified whisper, an attendant
intimated that the lady was unmar

face away and laughed. He composed
himself, however, so quickly that the
lady, whose knowledge of French was

THE FAMILY SILVER.

In the first place, keep it bright.
If never allowed to get into de-
plorable condition, its cleaning will
be no hardship.
Regularly once week wash it
thoroughly in very hot soapsuds.
Remove one piece at a time from
the suds, polish it at once and drop
into very hot clean water.
When ready to dry take only one
piece at time from the hot water,
dry at once, and polish with chamois
skin or flannel.
This method is much better than
heaping the wet silver on a tray, to
get cold before dried
Silver not in general use should be

kept in canton flannel bag.

proved to be new kind of cake.
Other cakes were in the guise of a
book with a title that all who ran
might read, a fat turtle that looked
natural enough to turn into soup, and
a tree trunk of minute proportions.
Among the things that were not
really what they seemed were pal

dows, arches of chocolates, gardens
beautiful with sugar flowers in cho-
colate earth, pink sugar houses. and
