daughter of the Colorado millionaire,

ton, quartet of the most famous
bellies Washington has ever known
will be dissolved. This quartet in
-cludes in addition to Miss Walsh, Ma.
thilde Townsend, whose engagement
to the Duke dAlbe of Spain is antici-
pated; Miss Katherine Elkins. who, in
spite of the non-committal attitude of
her parents, is expected to wed the
duke of the Abruzzi, and Miss Isabel
May, whom society long ago took for
granted to be the fiancee of Count Won
Hatzfeldt, counsellor and first secre-
tary of the German embassy.
This quartette of girls have made
Washington hum in the past two sea-
sons. Nothing has been too gay for
the stamp of their approval, and they
have set a pace that the more con-
servative younger element has not
dared to follow.
Evelyn Walsh is very young. but she
has had probably wider social expert
ence than any one of the quartette.
Backed by her fathers millions, she
has been able to give any sort of en-
tertainment her heart desired, and no
hgure has been too steep for her to
pay when her fancy yearned for any
thing, from new touring car to a
fancy dress ball.

The building was commenced in

70 years old.

the building will be of solid granite,

it can be easily stirred. Just as II

drops of oil of peppermint, tasting the
mixture to see when the flavor Is

CARE IN BOILING POTATOES.
Attention Required If You Would
Have Them Dry and MeaIy.

To boil potato we'll requires more
attention than is usually given. They
should be well washed and left stand
ing in cold water an hour or two, to
remove the black liquor with which
they are impregnated, and a brackish
taste they would otherwise have. They
should not be pared before boiling;
they lose much of the starch by so do
ing and are made insipid. Put them
into kettle of clear, cold water with
little salt; cover closely and boil
rapidly, using no more water than
will just cover them, as they produce
a considerable quantity of fluid them
selves while boiling, and too much
water will make them heavy. AS soon
as just done, instantly pour off the
water, set them back on the range and
leave the cover off the saucepan till
the steam has evaporated. They will
then, if good kind, be dry and mealy.

sion had, after looking over several
