GIRLS Prominent N
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Mis-. Helen TAFT or Miss Grace
Bryan May Be White
House Belle.
}wmGs&

Washington, Special: In the great
national rae for the presidency there
stand out two figures. daughters of the
leading republican and democratic can
didates. One is Miss Helen Taft and
the other Miss Grace Bryan. Both are
known here. but the daughter Of the
secretary of war is the more promi-
nent because Of her fathers position
and her residence in the capital.
Mas Bryan hal been more OF a visi-
tor to Washington: she was quite a
young girl when her father was in con-
gress.
Both these girls. one of whom may
become the White House belle, have
been great travellers. Miss Taft has
lived in the Philippines and has visited
the capitals Of Europe. Miss Bryan
accompanied her father on his trip
around the world. She has also made
several trips to Europe with her moth
er and received part Of her education
abroad.
In a way there is a similarity be-
tween these young women. They are
inclined to be studious rather thar take
ar interest in social life. They are
both accomplished linguists.
Miss Taft and Miss Bryan are about
the same age, IL.

%PETTlcoATs.

The rage Of dainty embroidery was
more pronounced in all sorts OF
underlinens than at present. Every
well dressed woman knows the demand
for blind embroidery and all that sort
which stimulates or initiates hand en-
broidery rather than the open machine
made kind. And now the factories have
triumphed in cOlOred embroidered petit
coats: they are the newest products Of
the spring. Every.woman Of taste will
revel In several of these pretty skirts,
instead Of the one silk. to be worm only
on occasions of state. The desirable
quality OF these skirts IL that they do
not lose their stiffness. like those OF
muslin. They do. indeed. seem to, have
the indescribabl BILE charm Of silk. without
the uncomfortable price and with a far
greater endurance. Such p~etticoats
make delightful drops for any gown.
They are seen In grays. tans. blues, and
blacks. with the daintiest kind of en-
brOidered nOuncee.

THE way TO BASTE
PlEATS FOR WASHING
Precautions Must Be Taken to
Prevent Fabrics Getting
Out OF Shape.

Now that summer is coming-the
Season ut washing and cleansing of
light fabrics-such precautions as pos
sible u be taken to prevent their
getting Out of shape. for what is harder
to properly clean than pleated material.
whether ii be in skirts. jabots or
blouses? Always haste the pleats down
before sending to the laundry. The
same rule applies to washable cravats,
which abe busted down the middle
to keep the outer covering and the lin
ing In proper position.
When washing a skirt the pleats
should be fastened into place and a
second busting run around the whole
hem 80 that the edge will be even whey
troned. These stitches are left in un-
til the skirt is entirely finished and
ready tn wear. otherwise the precau-
tiOn will be inefYectual.
1t Is a very clever idea. when Il
chain-stttch machine Is handy. to use
1t instead of hand sewing for the work
is simpler. and the chain stitch is u
great deal easier to pull out than the
h~and-w0rk stitches. OF course. for any
material where the machine stitches
would show, such as stiff linens, the
baSting must be lone by hand.

HOW CHILE IS GOVERNED.
Actual Power Remains in Hands Of q
Few Old Families.

Arthur Ruhl. in the Scribner: Santiago
has been called the City of the Hundred
Families. not because an acute social CEN
sor might not double the number or cut
that number In two, but because govern
ment in Chile is even more a amily AFFAIR,
perhaps, n In any other country Of
South America. and because Santiago Is
the capital. After its. separation from
Spain and preceding the great wal with
Peru, there were four presidential dynas-
ties. 80 to speak, of ten years each, each
president selecting his successor and see
ing him put in office, regularly and in
good order. Forty years of orderly gov
ernment was rather a wonderful thing for
South America. and during 1t the rugged
little country made money and built it's
navy and got ready to win the struggle
with Peru. Since then, as the spread OF
commercialism and modern practically
has tended to weaken the sway OF the
old landed aristocracy, there has been
q more or less open opposition between
the families-that is to say, the senate
and chamber of deputies-and the execu-
tive. which consists OF the president and
his ministers. Chilean government ia of
the extreme parliamentary pattern. and
the families have rarely hesitated to COM
pei a dissolution Of the presidents cab
met whenever his and their policies did
not agree.
In 1883. In President Balmaceda, a man
OF culture and of an ambition for his
country perhaps ahead of his time, they
found one h would not yield to them.
Revolution followed. many lives were
wasted. and millions of dollars worth of
property destroyed. and the Balmacedists
lost. Balmaceda, who wa a proud and
very sensitive man. committed suicide:
but there IN a Balmacedist party In Chill

WHAT BLOWING

Means Fully a Month of Idle.

New York Journal of Commerce
> aud Commercial Bulletin

or late the news tickers have fra.
quently announced the .'blowing o,,tr
Of blast furnaces. The stock market
interpreted that to mean tina output
was being curtailed. And the interpre-
tation was correct. But il means moro
Ii the "a in the street realizes. A
succinct description of the costly oper-
alton is given by Bartlett. Frazier e.
Darlington in their market magazines.
The fact is that Il blowout is eauiya.
lent in the iron trade to a capital oper-
alton in a hospital. 1t is the last re-
sort--necessary, but none The less a
disaster and costly remedy i'm all WAYS.
For example: Here is a furnace repre- j.
senting a total investment of about
$3.50, 900. capable of producing 800
to 400 tons of pig iron a day. The
lining of h stack cost two months Ia
Dor and $50, 900 or more to put in place.
Under ordinary conditions it ought 10
last more than four years. The furnace
has been in blast for two years. when
suddenly a squall blows up and the pig
iron market collapses. At last he issues
h order. the charging gang stops
work.. the skip hoist is silent. Gradu-
ally the hot blast eats up the charge in
the stack and the last OF the iron flows
from the casting notch. The furnace is
'dead'-blown out. In a few weeks it
will he stone cold.
when business demands a resumD-
ton of operations the furnace superin-
tendent examines the stack. The lining
of silica brick and refractory CLAY
blocks-like Moses coat In the story
Is much too good to throw away, but
not good enough for a full term of SER
vice. To refine means a waste of say
5000 now: not to refine probably will
mean a compulsory blowout two years
hence, perhaps at a time when idleness
will mean loss of profits and diversion
of trade. Between the two evils the
manager chooses the former. The half
worn lining is torn out, $4,000 is
thrown into the scrap. and $50. 900 is
taken out of the repair fund to buy
and install new refractories. tuyers and
hearth gear. Two months later the
| stack is ready for warming up. This
is an expensive process. too. The stack
10 filled up with a blank charge of tim
Der, coke. charcoal and stock. and the
blast is turned on very gradually to
give the big structure a chance to ex-
pand. or contract. and to settle down
to the business of making pig iron.
Very likely this part of the process will
cost $1,000. Gradually ore and limestone
are added to the charge. and the labora-
tory chemists are working overtime in
their efforts to bring the iron up to
! grade. It may be a month before the
stack can be made to urn out q uni
form quality of pig"

SLEEP is GREATEST

Let no woman who values her
good appearance neglect sleep. Sleep
the advent queen. A fair quota of
restful sleep is I'M of the greatest
aids to beauty. That you cannot
burn the candle at both ends is an
old adage, and, like most old say
ings. worthy Of consideration. If
YOU stay up late at night you can
not. to the advantage Of health and
good looks. rise early in the MORN
ing. If you do you will bring lines,
wrinkles, and a tired look to the
a G when your wish to remain
young and blooming. Watch your
appearance. II your face Is getting
ii tired. worn worried, and weary
look. with black rings under the
eyes. you are OVERRIDING it. Go
through the items OF your day, and
e what 1t is that is producing
that effect. and alter it at once.
Keep yourself interested In your
pursuits.
