diYcs Example of Up-to-Dntc JefTcr-
sonian Simplicity.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January a.
PRESIDENT Taft to-day took away the
breath of those who have maintained
that the days of the Jeffersonian SIM
plicity have long departed. and that
the administration is taking on all the
ceremonial of a European court, whea
he left the White House and paid a
call on dge..Horace III. Lurton. the
newly arrived associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. It is the unwritten
law that new officials shall first pay
their call of respect at the White
House.
The President, accompanied by Cap
tain Butt. left the White House in
mtd-afternoon and started for a walk
over the Mall back of the executive
mansion. The two were clad for any
weather. and both worp stout sho es.
The lowering clouds threatened rain
and IT was sloppy underfoot After
they had circled the Mall the President
led the way up to Pennsylvania Ave-
nue., and, practically unnoticed. made
his way into one of tho leading hotels.
lilo inquired for Judge Lurton. who Is
an old friend. and when the hotel clerk
had recovered from his surprise It was
discovered that the jurlst had gone out
for a walk.
TOO bad" said the President, show
ing his disappointment. Please tell
him that I called"
He then returned to the Whits
House.

her own family circle, and in society,
but also she is capable of assuring
man that he will not starve in case
the cook is suddenly afflicted with
"wanderlust" She is discerning.
She can distinguish real gem in
overalls from cut-glass imitation in
glad rags and derby. And she is
not ashamed to treat the overalls
man decently wherever she may meet
him. She doesn't gossip, nor does
she smoke cigarettes. She is a good
housekeeper, but she has gumption
enough to know when to quit. She
does not exact eleven talents from a
man who was given only ten to begin
with.
Add to these qualifications plenty
of tact and a buoyant, hopeful, in
spring spirit, and you have my ideal

how she stands the wear and tear of
matrimony, you will have to ask him.

TESTED RECIPES.

Baked cabbage is particularly
good. Boil the cabbage tender in
two waters first. Mix together two
beaten eggs, two tablespoonsful of
melted butter, two tablespoonful of
cream, a tablespoonful of salt and a
dash of paprika. Stir this into the
chopped cabbage and put it into
buttered pudding dish. Sprinkle
bread crumbs over the top and bake
until brown.
Butter granite dish. Put in
layer of sliced potatoes, then a layer
of thinly sliced onion. Sprinkle with
pepper and salt. Repeat the process
until you have the quantity desired.
Dot the top with bits of butter. Cow
er with milk and bake slowly nearly
two hours. This is especially nice
with Hamburg steak.-Mrs. J. w.
Tomatoes a la creme form a de-
lightful breakfast dish. Cut unpeel-
ed tomatoes into thick slices. Put
into a frying pan three tablespoons
full of butter and fry the tomatoes
for three minutes in this or until
they are tender. Remove carefully
and keep hot on platter set in an
open oven. Into the butter in the
pan stir tablespoonful of -four and
cook until thoroughly blended; then
pour in gradually a half pint of rich
milk, in which pinch of soda has
been dissolved. Stir all to a smooth
sauce, season and pour over the
fried tomatoes.
Stuffed tomatoes are beloved of
every household, of course, but par
