this was explained as possible because
of a fortune left her by her late hus-
band, Congressman Spangler of Penn

OF a bankrupt copper smelling plant
in Michigan remained unknown, ex-
cept to her husbands family, one or
two of her own relatives and Senator
Peabody, who, coming from Pennsyl-
vania, had known her husband init
mately.
He it was who had suggested to her
that she might make money easily by
%cultivating the acquaintance of the
new members of both houses and their
families, eNerting her influence in vari-
Gus "%perfectly legitimate ways" he
argued, for or against matters pending
in legislation. The Standard Steel cor

piled with funds deposited monthly
to her account in a Philadelphia trust
company.
She avoided suspicion by reason of
her sex and her many acquaintances
of undisputed rank. Senator Peabody
waS never invited to her home, had
eve attended a single dinner, recep-
ton or musicale she had given, all of
which was a part of the policy they
had mutually agreed on to deaden any
suspicion that might some time arise
as to her relation to the Standard
Steel company. 1t was well known
that Peabody had been put into the
senate by Standard Steel to look after
it's interests.
He had found Mrs. Spangler chiefly
valuable thus far as Il source of infor-
nation regarding the members of con
gress, which she obtained largely from
their families. He was thus able to
gain an idea of their associations,
their particular interests and their as
pirations in coming to congress, which
proved of much use to him in forming
and promoting acquaintances. all for
the glory of Standard Steel.

Mrs. Spanglcr at an afternoon tea con-
fidcntially that he was going to vote

title of this drame is self explain

Flower luncheons are in order now
and a wealth of bloom is easily OBJ
tainable as decorations for the table

the woods may be had for the pluck

blossoms will be surprisingly beauti-
full if care is used in their arrange
be decided upon and everything must
be in harmony with it-even to the
color of the dishes in which the lun-
cheon is served For example, one
can give what may be called daffo-
dill luncheon. Use a table cover Of
yellow sateen in daffodil tint, with a
centrepiece and border of lace. The
flowers themselves should be placed
on the table in tall vase and the
china used should be gilt-edged or
even plain white. The napkins may
be folded in the forms of cones and
filed with small bunch of daffodils.
If your dining room is green a
combination of white and yellow, or,
pink, is suitable, while ferns or any,
thing green may be depended upon
to harmonic with any floral colors
Placecards should be of water color
paper decorated with the flower one
has chosen as the color scheme. The
flowers for the places many be of diff
ferent kinds. provided they harmon
ize with the general color scheme. 1t
is frequently advisable to make this
choice according to the individual
floral preference of each guest, if you
happen to know them. At this sea-
son of the year there is nothing more
appetizing than flower decorated
table, and a profusion Of them will
secure the success of your luncheon.

BREApBox POSSIBILITIES.

The breadbox Is one of the ever
present problems with the house
keeper. While the average woman
knows that waste accompanies the
purchase of too much bread, she re-
alizes the necessity for constant
fresh supply if those dependent upon
her are to be kept cheerful at meal
time. Most women do not, however,
understand the "possibilities" of the
breadbox as an emergency shelf. ;"
There may be made from half-hard-
ened bread many substantial dishes
and an equal number Of delicacies.
Given some stale bread, rolling
pin and an oven." said one expert
housekeeper and cook, "and can
spread you a table full of dainties."
The rapid cook who is always
ready for the fray will keep her stale
pieces of bread in clean bag made
of heavy linen. The breadbox is not
their proper place, because they in
terfere with the pleasant taste of the
fresher loaves and because the same
bread kept in a closed receptacle will
invariably mold This habit of roll
ing the stale bread into crumbs ready
to use at least once week is only a
decent precaution against the hurried
meal and the unexpected guest.
These crumbs should be kept in a
closed fruit jar, and should be turned
out into an open pan at least every
two weeks and dried in the oven, or
they will collect a dampness
The cakebox comes under the same
head, and is just as insistent in it's
demand for frequent recognition.
Cake crumbs, too, are valuable adj
dition to the emergency store. They
may be made into many delicious
boiled and steamed puddings.-New
York Press.

ACCIDENTS IN COTTON MILLS
Most of Them in the Morning in Summer

Some interesting figures in regard
to accidents in cotton mills are given
by writer in the Textile Manufac-
sturers' Journal. The plants whose
trecords he took we're twelve in num-
ber, and with the exception of one in
New Hampshire were south of Mason

OF the total number of accidents
only 42.S per cent. were the result Of
machinery The larger percentage
happened on Wednesday, and with the
exception Of Saturday the percentage
for the other days of the week is gem
orally uniform
Saturday shows a low percentage,
due to two reasons--first. less work
ing hours that day and in general
less machinery in operation, thus re-
ducing the chance of injury
A larger percentage Of the acct
dents occurred during the forenoon
hours from to ~, while the low

fashion in which the Scottish Episco-
