A SNUB inflicted years ago upon an
n American couple who were spend
ing their honeymoon abroad has been
paid for at last. Slight as the affair
seemed at the moment, it has devel-
oped enough importance to lose Henry
White. ambassador at Paris, his post
in spite of his long experience in vari-
Gus important capitals of Europe and
his other claims to notice. The resig-
nation of Ambassador White has been
received at the White House and it
was accepted in the usual stereotyped
fashion.
1t was back in 1856 that William
Howard Taft and his bride, a pair of
comparatively unimportant but blissful
Newlyweds, were doing their honey
moon In Europe. In the course of their
rainbow rambles they came to Vienna,
where Diplomat White was then secre-
tary Of legation. There was some af-

The Fate Of the Fancy Set,

James. aged seven. was promoted q
few weeks ago. In recognition of this
great event his father purchased for
him the following things that James
insisted were necessary:

leads: one ink and one pencil eraser;
one pencil box with a marvellous roll
top; three copy books for home work,
two penholders. a patent strap that
was 4 marvel of ingenuity, but some
how or other didn't seem to hold the
books very firmly.
The father examined the outfit a
few days ago and found that It con-

One much-chewed lead pencil, fur.
nisned by the city: a scribbling pad
with few sheets on It; a tin fountain
pen that did not work and never could
have worked, and skate strap to hold
the things together.
The father asked no questions. He
instinctively knew what had become
OF the fancy implements of education.

A Packing Case Co vered with cretorne.

The center of interest in a young
girls bedroom is. without doubt. the
dressing table. This is always made
as attractive as possible with a pretty
cover, dainty cushions and little pin
trays.
Now one does not have to go into
the shops and pay high price for a
dressing table. for often the home
made affairs are quite as satisfactory
and a bit daintier. The dressing table

protein pigs cannot build up the lean

found in skim milk. clover and alfalfa.
Corn is nine-tenths carbohydrates:
oats have a little more protein than

Rye contains a little more protein
than does corn. Barley is one of the
best feeds on the farm: 1t contains
more protein than does rye. In clover

not get enough for a maximum

Representatives from the Carpenters,
Plumbers, Electrical Workers, Lathers,

two years ago.
Work will be continued towards or
ganizing the new Building Trades Coun-

started towards organizing new 1er-
tral Labor Union.
