MAY IF CONTINUE.

The management of the Seattle -Yu- kon- Alaska exposition reported at the close of the first month of business a balance of sS6.00o on the right side of the ledger. This is d pretty good be- ginning; and good beginning should never be regarded as bad omen. Se- attie is to be congratulated. The suc- cess of the present fair forms an ex- caption that proves the rule of the unprofitableness of the general run of these ventures. The Seattle exposition is fortunate is being located in a sec ticn of the country where the quality kpown as local pride is strongly marked. There is a feeling in the dis tant state that no such fzzie az the Jamestown fair, on the Atlantic coast, must be permitted. For this reason, appeals to support the exhibition seem to have struck responsive chord. The second month ought to be better than the first, and the third an i'm provement upon the second. We should all be glad to chronicle that this venture was success from start to finish. The western part of the coun- try will do itself proud if it sees to it that this show makes better rec ord than its recent predecessors and it will rebound to the credit of the business vfgor of that part of the country should it be 5supported in good shape. New England is too far away to be of any real patronage value to the enterprise, but it would not withhold its best wishes

SAUCE MAKING.

Sauce making is next to salad mak- ing and the woman not skillful in this bit of-culinary work is losing every day, for a sauce can be used with 1eft-ov foods.
 There are all kinds of sauces lemon sauce to pour over dry cake, mint sauce for roast lamb, parsley and butter sauce for meat, tartar sauce for oysters, etc. A sauce that is served with broiled steak is made with the acid juice saved from can of toma- toes. This is boiled with bay leaf, parsley and kitchen bouquet It is enriched with butter and sometimes slightly thickened with flour. A fish sauce is made with melted butter, lem on juice and finely ground parsley, seasoned with white pepper and salt. It is served either in the shell of a hard boiled egg, or placed in a little paper patty pan for the purpose. Lem On or orange sauce is made like a thin blanc mange. chilled and poured

TAFT Ass \. FoRcE.

The newspapers that have been re- marking upon the signs of weakness dtacernible in the president must now Acknowledge that the omens were un- worthy of attention. Taft does not represent great noise, but he has never failed to be force in any ex- ixency which has arisen during his whole career
 The New York Independent noted the powerful Influence of the presi- dents straw hat during the recent rel- ebr1tion of the tercentenary of the cdscopery of Lake Chatnpfain. There was great array of sdlgnitaries there Fin beaver hats, rnorta boards and starched clothes, keeping up the style with the thermometer fin the 7O's, but Taft appeared in straw hat and that sjust opened the way to less style and greater personal freedom in dress, and Fit was immediately taken advantage sof. 4
 The president has been silent 0b- Server of the contention over the. tariff schedule and has been subjected to much adverse criticism because of his so-cailed apathy. but when it came his turn to speak he made no uncer- tain sound He let the conferees and the country know. that he knew the duty and responsibility of the presi- dent, and that he had great deal to do with upsetting deals, in regulating schedules, and in demanding that the income and corporation taxes should be made part of the revenue law. This affirmation had immediate effect and now President Taft is in the midst Of the fight, with a fair prospect of winning out the promises of his party to the people.

 A most delightfully large parasol for the sandy beach presents itself just in time to tempt the hurrying seaShore folk It is of hugs proportions, and since it is an established fact that fig ures and sizes mean nothing to most women, it may be better to- describe its ample outline by youching for the fact that three bathers and a small child may share it's grateful shade.
 For the tentless owner of a baby or two there could be no more simple and certain way of Keeping off the rays of the burning sun. This largest of sunshades is made of striped awning canvas in dark yellow and white, bor- dered with large fringed scallops.

THE TRIALS. OF THE coMMls.
 SIONER

The state commissioner of highways has quite a bdzzing about his ears because he will not do the business ass others direct, instead of in the order which he finds to be just to all.
 After thirteen years of experience 1t is not probable that Highway Com missioner Macdonald can be discon- certed by the pull-haulIng of men of no experience who are just now de- randing of him this thing, that. and the other.
 This comes from the western part of the state.
 Tt is not a matter of pouring oil upon the troubled waters Instead, it Is a question of sprinkling oil upon the troublesome road dust. Down in Fairfield county the board of health asked to have some of the roads oiled, but when it came to oiling the new macadam on one of the state roads, State Highway Commissioner Macdon- aid notified the authorities that if they oiled that new macadam as they pro- posed to do, the road would not be &C., cepted by the state, which is paying portion of the cost of the macadam. MT. Macdonald says that the oiling of roads has not progressed far enough to satisfy him that it is wise to use the process on new nnacadarn, although he admits that it may be all right later. The board of health although sanguine that the improvement would beat the sprinlxling with water to a frHzzle, is obliged to conform to the mandate of the highway commissioner and his No stands for the dnaIity."
 10 is we'll that his 'No' does stand for the finality He is responsible for the strict observance of the good roads law. also for the results of .an experiments. He cannot be expected to approve anything which will spoil the roads and his hard earned repu- tation
 Tn the middle of the state the aef- tatcrs are bowling. for better macad- am roads. as the present system, with its lack of repairs. is waste of mon- ey; and no one has emphasized this fact more than has the state highway commissioner, and finding that It was impossible to get the towns to prop erly look after this macadari he had the state law so amended that the state can do the work and collect the cost therefor from the towns.
 It is surprising how many good-road buiiders there are in different parts of the state who never yet superin- tended the building of cart-path. If these citizens had their way there would be more cause for complaint than they can ind now, for they would only boss without knowing the reason why.

AII-Gre.en Hats.

A recent whim is the all-green hat. the shape, perhaps, of dark green, surrounded only with quantities of foliage, and the brim lined with green aerophane, or the hat might be ar ranged with very wide green ribbon velvet, manipulated into a flat bow, and nothing else, save for the brini lining of aerophane, this fabric of charming texture being the latest mo- tion in brim Things.
 An all-green hat will look rather nice with the white linen or pique coat and skirt of the definite sum- mer time, and might be accompanied by a green sunshade and with a green collar facing to the coat. With a bunch of pink roses or carnations fas- tened into the white blouse worn with the suit. this might be a very happy, cool, summery suit.

The handkerchiefs are placed in a bowl of milk into which has been put a few drops of essence of violet, which is strong and of a bluish tinge, and this will give them the pure white coior which is so necessary.
 From this each is taken and partially dried in a clean towel and at once ironed,
 No starch is used,s for the milk takes the place of that, and the little iron ing board is covered first with a heavy flannel and after a spotlessly clean piece of white cloth.
 An iron is kept especially for this work, and usually this is some patent affair either for electricity or alcohol.

Blue Redsnread.

India print enters largely into the decorators scheme for summer cot tages. With willow furniture and pat termed chintz has come the demand for quaint bedspreads, and in many country homes they are made of chintz to match the long window hangings. Where white curtains have been chos- en and where other lowered surfaces have been avoided, the bedspread of blue and white India print will give an air of distinction to the entire room. This material is delightfully."- cool in weight and finish and is one of the best known tub materials. It has been known to wash for twenty years without loss of color; but why should not the far-famed dyes of the orient outlast our later efforts?
