There was a very pretty wedding
Thursday evening at the home of
Thomas G. Crandall when their DULY
daughter: Bessie Mae, was united in
marriage to g. Harold Whitcomb.
During the march, played by Miss Ber-
tina Kline, the couple took their places
under an arch of ferns and sweet
peas. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Daniel Gregory, grandfather
of the bride, in the presence of thirty
friends and relatives. The bride was
prettily gowned in soft champag ne
silk, and carried sweet peas. They
were the recipients of many useful
and pretty presents. After congratu-
latlons and refreshments the bride
and groom eluded the whole COM
pany, leaving them to conjecture as
to their whereabouts and mode of
conveyance. The facts came .out
next morning when they left for a
carriage drive to HYDE Park. The

WI ASHINGTON.-I the eyes of
w feminine visitors to the national
capital an object of pre-eminent in
terest just now is the handsome new
$4,000 automobile in which Mrs. Will
liam H. Taft may be daily seen spin
ming about the streets of Washington.
Not only is the new car the first We
hicle of the kind ever maintained for
first lady of the land, but it is prac
tieally the first automobile used by a
mistress Of the White House, for Mrs.
Roosevelt rarely entered an automo-
bile, being in full sympathy with her
husbands well-known prejudices on
the subject.
The automobile which has been in
stalled as Mrs. Taft's equipage of state
is distinctly the property Of the new
mistress Of the presidential mansion.
President Taft has steam automobile
or the regulation touring car type,
and another of the same description
will be added later, these two ma
chimes being purchased with the re-
cent congressional appropriation of
$4,000 and being applied to official
conveyances-that is, for the use of
the president and his secretaries in
the discharge Of their duties.
Mrs. Taft's new $1,000 gasoline auto
mobile of the limousine type is the
personal property of the new tenants
Of the White House, purchased from
their private funds and designed for

beautiful heiress of Washington. For
some time Burns was opposed to the
projected transfer of land to the gov
eminent, and the president and COM
missioners had several conferences
with him. On one of these occasions
the choleric Scotchman answered one
of Washfngton's arguments by this
outburst: Il suppose, Mr.. Washington,
you think people are going to take
every grist from you as pure grain;
but what would you have been If you
hadn't married the rich Widow Gus
tis?"
Gen. Van Ness, a well-born New
Yorker, was one of the many suitors
for the hand of Marcia Burns He be-
came a resident of Washington, living
at first with his bride In the old cot
tage which she would never permit
to be taken down. He became mayor
of the city, his portrait was painted by
Gilbert Staurt, the mansion erected ON
the Burns estate was one of the finest
in the country and the resort of tho
distinguished people of Washington.
In Oak Hill cemetery Van Ness had
erected tomb in imitation of the
temple of Vesta. On each anniversary
of his death the legend has 1t that his
favorite troop of six white horses
make ghostly midnight gallop around
the old mansion. Whether the bureau
of American republics will inherit the
ghostly horses with the site of the an
cient mansion remains to be seen.

IDEAS FOR ROOM FURNISHINGS
Some Suggestions That May Be o
Help to Young Housekeepers.

The white muslin curtains, long
ones or sash, are prettier for bed
rooms, and ecru lace are pretty for
living room, sitting room or parlor, as
you may call it, while lace for dining
room and hall windows, upstairs and
down, the colored madras curtains for
4 den or library. If in your living
room you should have a, window seat
you can get three-quarters' length cur
tains, so as not to cut them of, a
white iron bed and white chiffoniere,
white chair, etc., and a bedspread
made OF white dotted muslin lined
with white or some delicate color.
with shams to match, also dresser
scarfs of same material are pretty for
q young girls room. A room fixed up
with yellow and white, with q brass
bed, is pretty for guest chamber. A
white lace spread, lined with yellow
china silk, is-pretty for covering for
. brass bed.

KEEPING THE HAIR RIGHT.
Proper Way Of Drying and Cleaning
Woman's "crown Of GIorv."

There is never the slightest doubt.
as to when the hair is clean, for when
rubbed between foref1nger and thumb
1t squeaks little if all dust has been
removed. However great may be the
temptation to dry the tresses over a
radiator or before a register, it must
be resisted, and dried by rubbing with
towels, letting the mass hang loose
at times while resting the arms. The
most attention must be given the
scalp, for the lower will dry itself. II
there is the slightest disposition to
waviness, when dry, only a comb
should be used in removing the snarls,
for brush straightens too much.
No application is better for luster-
less hair than salt.
Rub well into the roots of the hair
at night, then tie up in a large hand
kerchief or wear a nightcap.
Brush out the salt in the morning.
Several applications will show 1
marked improvement in the appear
ance of the hair.
Put tablespoonful Of ammonia
into basin of tepid water and dip
the brushes down Into it until they
are clean. Dry with the bristles down,
and they will be like new.
