Doors of Famous Old Hotel Are Closed

The present structure was built In
the Sos. Just why and how the hotel
became so great favorite with the
Southerners has never been explained,
but for the last seventy years it has
been the meeting place for politicians
of the southland. 1t has catered to
that trade almost exclusively and
enjoyed the patronage of practically
half the southern congressional dele
cation.
It's broad, low ceiled lobby filled
with broad hated frock coated men
was far more suggestive OF Memphis
or New Orleans than of the northern
cities. The bar was always famous
for it's juleps, toddies and sherry cob
blers.
Bob" Callahan, the retiring proprie-
tor, found recently among the ar
chives of the house hill made out
for one of the guests If the early
days-one Dougherty. Mr.. Callahan
called attention to the fact that in
1915 the jumping of a board bill was
as popular pastime with certain
class of customers as it Is in the
twentieth century. Mr.. Dougherty
had run up bill of $497.:5. mostly
for toddies and juleps. 1t shows q
single credit of $50. The proprietor
of the Indian Queen had the unsettled
bill framed. The price of a toddy
in 1916 was two for quarter.
Charles Dickens stopped at the In
dian Queen on his first American tour
and mentions the hotel in Martin
Chuzzlewit.

Lieut.. u. S. Grant to Be Busy "Janitor

Lieut.. Grant married not long ago
the daughter of Senator Root of New
York. Since that time he has been
stationed in Boston in the engineer
department. Under the law member
of the engineer corps must superin-
tend the state, war and navy building.
This is, without exaggeration, the
largest office building in the world. 1t
extends from Pennsylvania avenue to
the Oval and from Executive avenue
almost all over town. Branches of
the enormous building can be found
on almost any street within a mile.
The state, war and navy building
in itself is enough care for an or
binary man, but there are also the an
nexes, which are arranged without
any consideration for the convenience
of the Superintendent.

waukee. Greg, which was planted by
the late Henderson Lewelling during
and shortly after l848. This Seeding
tree, which is supposed to have been
a cross of Black Heart on Napoleon,
was grated to May Duke before it
reached bearing age and transplanted
to a location at one end of the old or
chard. About 1880 the May Duke top
was broken off or died, and sprout
from the Seeding stock was permitted
to form new top to the tree. When
it came into bearing its fruit attracted
Mr.. Lambert's attention, and shortly
after 1890 small shipments of it sent
to Boston and other eastern markets
sold at much higher prices than other
varieties shipped at the same time.
So far as known, 1t has not been ex-
tensively planted east OF the Rocky
mountains, but 1t Is considered
worthy of testing wherever sweet
cherries thrive.

For the "Cup That Cheers"

Afternoon tea is now an established
and welcome custom in most house
holds, and there are many delicious
additions to the cup that transforms
it so that the visitor often asks:
"What is it,"
One hostess uses arrack, another
places four whole cloves, two green
for sweetening in each cup, and still
another is famous for the rum and
pineapple with which her tea is en-
bellished. Half claret and half tea
is the favorite formula of little
southern woman renowned for mix
lures.

watch the other vines and note the
difference in the way they twine-

others in the opposite direction.

A Beach Picnic.

There was nOLn1ng very remarkable
about the invitation l found on my
desk last week, save that l was asked
to come at three, and in large letters
we're the words: Bring your bathing
suit"
The hostess lived on the shore of an
inland lake. Oh, yes; Mr.. Nine.
Merri" was asked to come at six.
Well, the whole thing was so delight
full, so delightful, so possible to nearly
every one, that we all found ourselves
asking: "Why haven't we done 1t be-
fore?" AS with almost everything,
there must be leader, some one who
realizes possibilities and makes them
realities. In this case the hostess had
lived for years on this self-same spot,
had regularly gone to the seashore for
the bathing and it was only because
the family exchequer had been struck
by the financial panic that the sum-
mer was being passed at home. It's
good, and there is more than one
person who is grateful that the
Blanks" had to remain at home, for
there have been a number of affairs
Just as pleasant as the one herein
described.
At four o'clock, water suits were
donned and under the protection of
automobile coats the run to the beach
was made. After jolly splash and
an hour spent on the broad piazza the
men came out from town and there
was regular beach supper served
with all the comforts of home close at
hand.
A huge driftwood fire cooked the
| potatoes just to the right turn and a
real Gypsy kettle boiled the corn
Sawhorses with boards on top made
the table and the cloth was white pa
per with the cutest napkins and rings
of paper, each with a souvenir IN
side. The guests went in raptures
over the dishes>-I means the plates
which were of pasteboard, each
with dainty painted flowers for deco
ration. The hostess said they came
in sets all packed in one box.
AS there have been several requests
for menus for outdoor suppers I an
going to tell exactly what We had
First, there was a canteloup cut il
half by the man who was dubbed ''tht
knight of the knife" then there were
sandwiches of minced him mixed will

sandwiches of sliced chicken ant

nished with beets, bottles of olives
iced tea (the ice brought from tn
house), ginger and white cookies an
delicious little frosted chocolat
cakes. The corn and potatoes cooke
over the fire made the heavy PORTO
of the repast. For the finale Their
was a huge watermelon, and afte1
wards a marshmallow roast over tn
dying beach fire. Every one declare
that they had learned lesson b
learning to appreciate what was will
in their reach, and the hostess n
ceived a vote of thanks for the pleas

There are three common methods
of growing stawberries-in hills, in
narrow matted rows or in wide matted
rows, We prefer the second method.
Arrange the first strong runners by
hand. spacing them properly and Sc
curing each one in place with little
soil or small stone. Then. when
each row is full. cut off all additional
runners that may grow. Keep the
ground hoed and cultivated until late

The Golden Wedding.

The Golden Wedding.
This is in reply to several requests for
golden wedding celebrations, and
hope will fully answer all questions
asked:
The invitations are engraved with
letters of gold and, of course, golden
yellow will be the color scheme
throughout the house. If the affair
is in the fall golden glow and golden
rod are just the flowers to use. For
the table centerpiece there should be
SO roses, preferably Marshael Neils;
the candles of yellow in brass holders.
Gilt slippers make charming souve.
Mrs filled with almonds. The bonbons
may be wrapped in gilt paper, the
cake frosted with yellow icing (made
from the yolk of eggs) and the ice
cream frozen in rings. New York ice
cream is a deep yellow and should be
used. Serve orange frappe in
punch bowl wreathed with yellow. If
the young people who assist are
gowned in yellow it will add greatly
to the scenic effect.
In way of gifts on such an occasion
gold pieces are IN Order, mowers anu
any dainty remembrance, for, OF
course, quantities of elaborate things
are not expected or in good taste.
When a couple have reached this
period in life's journey they do not
want the care of lot of new things.

''What Is Your Totem?" Society's Latest

paint the totem on the sides of the
swaggerest runabouts in town, and
the idea is so terribly swell that
everybody feels thrilling sense of
pride and citation when asked, whats
your bug?"
Mrs. Perry Belmont's delicately per-
fumed notes from Paris are surmount-
ed by great, big, buzzing bee of gold,
his quivering wings poised for flight.
Miss Mathilde Townsend's totem looks
like a giant mosquito, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh have for their
totem a bird built on hieroglyphic
lines. The bird, which looks much
like a young robin with bill tightly
closed and neck considerably longer
than the usual, perched on the Walsh
note paper, and also on the Walsh
cards of invitation, is sometimes dull
blue, sometimes gray on gray papers,
and again it comes in glowing gold,
and yet again in cleaning silver.
Just outside the entrance to the
Walsh mansion the bird shows up in
the form of a clipped tree of dwarf
box. The Walsh totem has addi-
tional significance when it is remem'
bered that the Walsh millions were
dug out of the famous Camp Bird
mine, near Array, Col.
Mrs. Taft on her stationery uses the
crest of the United States-the spread
eagle, surrounded by galaxy of thir-
teen stars-and a similar die is used
by the secretary of state Oh stationery
