LADY HESTER STANHOPE.

Among the most eccentric women in
all history was Lady Hester Stanhope,
the neice of William Pitt, who was
born in London, 143 years ago today.
and died in Syria, where she had
spent much of her time, 20 years ago.
Lady Hester was the daughter of the
Earl of Stanhope. The death of her
mother when she was an infant de-
prived her of the care of young girl
should have, and even her education
was sadly neglected. When she was
about 20 she went to act as a sort of
secretary for her uncle, who was then
prime minister. She remained with
him until his death in 1896
In the next few years she displayed
such singular qualities of bad temper
selfishness and lack of feeling that all
of her friends were estranged, and the
English government withdrew a pen
sion she had been drawing In 1910 she
shook the dust of England from her
feet and started for the east.
She arrived in Syria in 1912 and
settled on Mt. Lebanon, where she
remained the rest of her life. entirely
cut off from tn companionship of her
countrymen or friends.
Surrounded by native servants
whom she ruled with capricious i'm
pulse, and with Indifferent means at
her disposal, she had a strange ex-
perience.
OCCASIONALLY some FL traveller who
knew her would make a stop and call
upon her. These persons told curious
tales of her household. When tea was
served one day, the servant brought
it by the spout, as the handle was
gone; the ceiling of her salon was up
held by beams of wood and her bed
was a mattress laid on planks that
were placed on trestles.
Lady Stanhope was a hard mistress
and demanded unheard-o hours of
service. At one time all the free
women in her employ left in a body
and her slaves were constantly run
ming away.

the cows udder when she is fully
abreast to the manger are long
enough. Stalls should be wide enough
so that the animal can lie in them
with comfort and that milking in the
stall can be done with convenience.
Wider than this, from four to four and
a half feet, is not necessary, but where
room is no object and only few cows
are kept, stalls five or six feet wide
are preferable.
The floor of the cow stall should
slope gently to the rear to allow liquids
to run easily from under the bedding,
or rather to prevent liquids from the
rear from running into it. If possible,
provide a gutter to the rear for the re-
ception of all the liquid and solid ex-
cretia. The gutter is great aid in
keeping the floor of the stalls and the
bedding dry and clean, besides being a
convenience in cleaning out the stable
and saving more of the liquid portion
of the manure. Have the walls tight

A separate stable should be pro-
vded for the cows and suitable
manager and stalls built in this for
them Cows feel low naturally and
provision for both hay and grain or
ground feeds should be low. They can
be placed nearly on a level with the
the part of the cows, and the lower
they are the more convenient they are
for feeding. Small divisions can be
placed if necessary so that one COW
can not eat the others feed, and to
prevent them from pulling hay into
the stalls and wasting it, horizontal
pieces a little less than the height of
the cow and vertical pieces wide
enough apart for them to get their
heads through, securely fastened, can
be placed on the side of the manager
next to the cows. This device permits
the cows getting the full length of
their head and neck into the manger
for eating but prohibits them from
pulling the feed backward, unless they
step several feet back
Since cows do not injure each other

The day at home is an estab-

1t offers a delightful little method of
entertaining friends and of return
ing social favors.
If a certain day has been selected
by a woman and engraved on her

o'clock.
The maid should be simply dressed
in black, with white turnover collar,
white apron. She opens the street
door, receives the cards of the visi-
tors, but does not announce the call
ers
The first duty of the hostess is to
rise and shake hands with every guest
who enters. In order to be master of
the situation, she should keep the
door in view and be ready to extend
her GREETINGS to every arrival.
AS each new caller enters the hos

prised of the general trend of the
conversation. 1t is the test of good
breeding to quietly admit caller into
the intimate atmosphere enjoyed by
theothers.
Light refreshments are usually
served. Tea or small cups of choco-
late, with light, fancy cakes, tiny sand
wiches and bonbons, are all that is ne
cessary. They are served from side
table by a maid or a friend who as
sists at this little afternoon affair.
Under ordinary conditions the hos
tess, should not accompany a guest to
the door when he leaves. A cordial
handshake and an expression Of pleas
ure at seeing him is sufficient at the
departure of any caller. Never should
one guest be singled from a number
of callers and monopolized. To devote
much time to a guest or to socially ex-
clude one from attention is repre-
hensible
By making an at-home informal, and
at the same time an evidence Of kind
" forethought, this form of enter
tainment can be one of the most de-
lightful little ways to share your
friends with each other. 1t is decid-
eddy as pleasing as a larger, more for
NAL affair, and suggests a possibility
of coming in personal touch with
friends or acquaintances.

Whether cows are kept fer COM
mercial dairy purposes or only few
to supply home needs, each one should
be provided with a comfortable stall
for winter. 1t is amusing to go about
the farms and look into the barns to
see what variety of ways cows are
sheltered for the winter In many
cases al of the herd are turned into
a shed together to fight for their feed,
to lie anywhere in filth, and to be
MIXED with the utmost inconvenience.
Even where stalls are provided, in
many cases the stall is simply a small
mire hole in which the cow is i'm
prisoned over night. and often during
the entire "a hours of the day.
All have noticed how cows seek
sheltered places in cold, windy, wet
days in winter They seem to suffer
more from the cold than most other
animals. They are poor foragers when
it rains, SHOWS or the weather is 9TH

Portable place for her to lie and chew

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Nbw that the
by the need of those outer garments
SO essential to this climate, which,
white supplying sufficien, warmth,
must also present an elegance of APP
pearance which requires the skill of
the master workman.
One of the chief characteristics OF
the fashionable coat of today is the
quantity Of material that IS used In

hands il becomes a wonderfully grace
full and beautiful affair, falling in long
lines tina: are not in the least bulky
as one might imagine from the amount
of goods that is used.
A handsome cloak that is not too
striking, fur-trimmed, will fill many
purposes, and an additional long coat,
possibly one of fur, will put any wom
an through the season with good
style. Moreover with certain manip-
ulations such garments may be re-
trimmed, cut over and furnished up
to last several seasons and thus be-
come a not over eN.ravagant invest
ment.
Recently at the Metropolitan opera
house was seen a very handsome
cloak that is especially adapted for
dressy afternoon and evening wear,
where the cloak must be thrown aside
within doors. 1t is large in the body
and the sleeves and in no way crush
ing the gown beneath. 1t was made
in three pieces, back and two fronts
for the body. in 54-inch length. of
soft satin in one of the dull blue shades
of medium tone. The sleeves were OF
the bell variety and the addition of
the Marie Antoinette hood made it
extremely serviceable for the automo-
bile ride home. The hood was lined
with a soft contrasting silk. Lace
and at the lower closing in front, where
the ends of the hood meet, was a trim
bow of the satin, with long ends fin
ished at the bottom with silver fringe.
The coat could be made even more
serviceable by leaving off the hood,
using buttons and loops for the fast
ening, adding a fur collar and cuffs,
which would make it entirely appro-
pirate for walking
For dressy wear all such soft ma
terials as MORE, satin, ottoman or
panne velvet are used, but both light
and dark cloth are used and perhaps
broadcloth is liked better than any
other material because of it's rich ap
pearance. The shapes of these cloaks
and coats are as various as the needs
of the figures for which they are made
and the occasions on which they are to
be worn. For evening wear there is
the very full cloak, with or without
and reaches nearly to the hem Of the
skirt Often it is of very thin ma
terial over a silk lining, and fur-lined
within, in which case the white or
light -colored skins are used There is
also the cape cloak and the half
fitting coat laid in plaits with big
sleeves that almost entirely cover the
figure.

Mr.. Lenroot says another important
incentive to advance values in Rexburg

extensive coal beds located near there
The great coal deposits have been
worked intermittently for years. Some
years as high as 5000 tons have been
mined and sold to the ranchers and
in the nearby towns. But the long

most to prohibitive point. except to

But it was sufficiently used to prove
it Of high grade. and it requires only
the railroad, which is practically guar
anteed for this summer, to make II one
of the most important resources of

has become more necessary in the var
ious thriving towns in the county, as
the available wood supply on the
neighborIng forest reserve is fast dis
appearing, and 1t is only a question of
a few years when it will be a thing of

The now branch penetrating the val
ley to within a short distance of the
coal beds is going to give Rexburg, St

surrounding towns a good, cheap coal.
