WHERE SETS MIX.

Warrington Social Life Made Up Of
Delightful Surprises.
TIE charm of Washington social life

which the different sets mix, writes

other hand, is full of surprises. It's
variety never stales. In the same
house you may meet around the board
diplomat, a judge of the higher
courts, a member of Congress, an en-
ploye of one of the executive depart,
ments, q scientist, an artist, littera-
tour, a traveler-each probably man
of some distinction in his field. Each
has something to say, and says 1t, as.
a rule, interestingly. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that you pinch yourself
sometimes to realize that you are not
in community of great traditions, of
ages of culture and refinement, but in
a town which, less than a hundred
years ago. existed largely on paper
only. and only few decades back was
derisively called "city of magnificent
distances"
The boast of Washington is that 1t is
cosmopolitan. 1t is impossible to deny
1t. so far as its society is concerned.
And yet-and yet, 1t is source of SUI
preme satisfaction to every member of
that society to know that there are
% trains daily ready to take him to

vast improvement in quality. Res

The university promoters think that
in this nearby territory there il op.

development of rapid transportation
facilities, with good roads and the

the farm may be delivered to city

view, to encourage young men to &C

must have the best equipment and
scientific knowledge along with eff
cient training for the work.
/. While the lectures now arranged
will deal with the scientific aspects oil
farming, they will be Invested as much
jas possible of technicalities. Instruc.
ltion will be simple in its character,
and 1t will be addressed not only tc
those who are directly engaged in
farming, but as we'll to all who may
be interested in the agricultural con.

HOW To Make Good Coffee.

First, last and all the time, have a
clean coffee pot. Don't wash it with
common yellow laundry soap or pow
der because that makes it smell bad
and gives the coffee sickening' taste.
Easy Task soap sterilizes coffee pots
and all cooking utensils, making them
clean, sweet and wholesomely healthy.
That's the beauty about Easy Task
soap-it is just as good for cooking
vessels as for cloth or painted work or
glassware or china. Not an expensive
soap-five cents a cake.

A Substitute FOR Meat.

The thrifty housewife will find in
porridge an excellent substitute for
meat. A cup of wheat kernels should
be soaked in hot water for II hours,
then passed through a meat chopper
or grinder and boiled slowly for an
hour or more Then serve with sugar
and cream or a fruit preserve. 1t is
more nourishing than meat. A cupful
of wheat grains will make hearty
meal for three persons and as the cost
of a quart OF wheat is only two cents
this amount will feed family of seven
or eight for breakfast.
