Career Of Cortelyou.

Mr.. Creelman's article gives an interest
ing resume of Mr.. Cortelyou's career
from the time he entered the government
service as a stenographer in the Post
ONCE Department up to the present time.
He pays high tribute to Mr.. Cortelyou's
organization of the White House force to
q state of systematic efficiency so great
that 1T is today recognized by experts
as the most perfectly organized executive
machine in the world.
After mentioning Mr.. Cortelyou's ap-
pointment as Secretary of Commerce and
I.abor-a cabinet officer without q depart
ment as he was at that time-Mr. Creel-
man says:
.One Of the cruelest charges against Mr.
COrtelyou is that. while he was using the

The Lined Forehead.

That lined forehead sometimes is a
sign of years. More often it is nothing
but disagreeable evidence of bad facial
habits. DO you knit your eyebrows
when in thought or down on your luck
IL you do, rest assured you will have
a forehead scanned with vertical lines
and one, two or three deep burrows be-
tween the eyes. Are you coquettish or
sneering and given to expressing your
e,oofions of wonder or contempt by
raised eyebrows and shrugs? If you
do, you will pay for your lack of re-
spect of other peoples feelings by a
whole network OF horizontal lines on
2 forehead that should be smooth as a
weIl-ftted gown. In theory an un-
wrinkIed skin demands placidity, but if
we are not of 'icily regular. splendidly
dull type and allow ourselves the lux
ury of tears and laughter at least we
can refrain from overemphasizing IA
cial contortions with their sorry after
math of deep and ineffaceable lines.

washed in very hot water If slipped in

Instead of putting food into the oven

water. The steam will keep the food
hot and at the same time prevent it
from drying.
To test beef press it down quickly

meat is good. 1T should be fine
grained, of a bright red color, with
streaks of clean, withholding fat.
The meat will be tough unless there is
plenty OF fat in it.

The Child In the House.

Ieeoing their children, but they man

necessary.
ABOUT the way in which some moth

is nothing but condemnation Their

That was all. Not a word against the
uproar, not a culver of fear lest he
overturn the table. Suppose he did?
What Of it? He was the one perfect
object in the whole world Won't he be
a nuisance, even greater than he is
now, when he is a large boy? Won't
he be a bully when he is g man? Do
not imagine that because your children
are perfect in your eyes that others are
blind TO their faults. Do not fatter
yourself that other women enjoy seeing
their cherished possessions destroyed,
even if it is done by your fondly-loved
offspring. If the woman who lets her
children disturb others, who is blind to
their tormenting pranks because Of her
foolish love, who lacks common hon
esty as she lets them destroy the be-
longings of others, could hear the crit
icisms which are justly provoked by
her conduct, perhaps she might learn
q lesson.-Union and Times.

its complexity or its adherence to tht
