GEN kElFER'S VAIN REGRET.
Those Who Knew Him Best Declare
II Was Uncalied For.

Gen. Keifer of Ohio is the wonder
he everlasting human wonder-of his
colleagues in the house, says the
Washington Star The general, as
most everybody knows-they certainly
should. anyhow, for it has been pub
li.hed often enough-was speaker of
lie house of representatives twelty-
odd years ago. and those who knew
him in those days, when they heard he
was coming to Washington again,
after his election to the Fifty-ninth
congress. expected to see sedate old
fossil. decorated with whiskers and
al tiquated notions, totter into the
chamber and fall into the nearest
seat
Without going into the narrowing
details, they got something of a
shock. The general is as young as
the best of 'em, and as husky and tire
less as a bucko mate on a South seas
pearl poacher His day begins at
seven in the morning, and he goes to
bed after everybody else-young. mid
dle-aged or old-has fallen to sleep,
and there's nobody left to talk to.
Then, reluctantly, he can sometimes
be induced to seek the "downy," where
he usually tears off about 1000 kilo-
watt hours reading and smoking and
such. A little incident which oc-
CURED on the floor the other day best
illustrates his attitude toward life:
On this particular morning the gen
wp pirb
in him is something of a phenomenon.
His mouth turned down at the cor
ners: the starched shirt bosom, framed
in his full-dress morning vest, cracked
grouchily: his head hung in his
hands most of the time, and every now
and then he luggcd out his handker-
chief and swabbed away a pale gray
tear. Finally the gloom that he radi-
ated got on the nerves of Jim Taw-
ncy of Minnesota. chairman of the
appropriations committee, of which the
general is member, and approach
ing Mr.. Kefer at a funeral gait, Mr..
Tawney laid his hand on the sui-
fcrcr's shoulder and spoke most SYM
pathetiCally.
What in the world is the matter.
general?" he asked. Have you heard
bad news? Is any member of your
family dead? Can | do anything?'
NO" replied Gen Keifer with a half
sob. as he took Mr.. Tawney's hand in
both of his. mo. Jim, there's nobody
dead. and you cant do anything. I'm

Beauty in Streets of Canital

Without going beyond the CITY
streets or outside of the beaten course
which leads from his home to his daily
task the resident comes in contact
with nature to degree and extent
that is without parallel, says Wash
ington correspondent He sees the
foliage on trees and shrubs develop
and the grass on the lawns come to
life. He can note the opening of the
flowers and watch the gaunt, bare tree
forms, first crowned with delica : @
haze, like mist of greenery, and then
opening out into masses of foliage.
All these processes of nature are
familiar to the most careless eye, for
the reason that grass and trees and
shrubbery and flowers are so common
in this city as to be found on every
street and in all sections. 1t is not
one favored street, or perhaps two
or three, but all streets have the glory
of the trees and of the lawns and of
the parks filled with shrubbery and
flowers. AS one looks up and down
the street the line of his vision is
bounded on each side by masses of
beautiful leaves and is closed with
tho expanding glimpses of the green
sv of some park.

HAND SEWING ON WHITE GOODS
The Best and Easiest Methods of Fin
ishing Off Seams.

1t is essential in sewing on any light
weight materials To finish off seams
and the wrong side of garments neat.
ly. one of the most popular methods
of finishing off a seam is called the
French seam, and it is quickly and
easily made and has a neat look when
finished. Run plain seam on the
right side of the goods and trim it off
quite closely, Open the goods. crease
it, and then turn the garment, running
off seam on the wrong side. This
produces a sort of double seam,
which is delightfully."- neat to finish and
which is stronger by far than an or
binary seam.
The filled edge also is the ideal fin
ish for white underwear. 4 seam of
ordinary depth is taken on the wrong
side and one edge is trimmed about an
eighth of an inch and the other is left
to its full depth A slight fold is
Tapped over and felled down. This
makes fiat finish that has the appear
ance of band over the seam.
The daintiest and neatest way of let
ting embroidery into the material is to
cut the muslin off close to the EN-
broidered edge and then roll the edge

valenciennes lace. 1t is cut in Two
pieces-the pattern being one-half of

necessary for this includes two and
onehalf yards of dimity. at Is cents
a yard-3S cents; and six yards of val

yard of ribbon is plenty to fasten the
sacque at the neck. This will make
the entire garment cost less than
$l.25. Such jacket is just what one

Marie AntOinette in her fairy tale
dairy of Petit Trianon. The gown is
most attractive when made of dotted

well worth while because of the length
of time it wears. Ten and one-half
yards of dotted swiss will be required,
three and three-quarter yards of val

quarter yards of edging. The gown is
so pretty and so summery that the

reasonable rule that women who know
never appear in public unless dressed
in street suit, a house frock or an
