The effect Of a good dinner upon the

Houst. where the representatives Of the
people Of the sovereign states and of the
foreign powers meet the President more
intimately than elsewhere.
President Taft has extended this form
o. hospitality by the addition Of one
more state dinner for the season, which
now includes four such state functions
instead Of three. Heretofore the White
House schedule included separate ban
nuets in honor Of the diplomatic corps,
the Supreme Court and the Cabinet, es-

PRESIDENT SANG AT DINNER.

The merriest dinner host who ever oc-
cupied the White House perhaps was
Andrew Jackson, who at one Of his
state dinners astonshed his guests by
suddenly bursting into the old refrain,

fact that the father of democracy

written:
state dinners were served at 3 o'clock
IN the afternoon. At them was supplied
ample port and madeira. At the state
dinner in 1872 the dessert was ice

nuts and raisins, when, it having reached
candlelight time, the ladies left the ta-

that the days provisions often cost a.

WHITNEY'S TERRAPIN.

No one ever disputed William c. White
neys supremacy as a dinner host during
the first Cleveland regime. when he was
tn Secretary Of the Navy. His menage
was the most costly one maintained by
an official. and it is said that he would
spend as much as Sl2J for the terrapin
used at a single dinner. The premier oc

which he used to prepare in the White
House chatting dish for President Cleve-

OF. all the Presidents Arthur is said to
have been the most successful dinner
host, and the only chief executive since
the days Of Andrew Jackson who could
make his state banquet guests feel as
much at ease as though they had their
knees under their own mahogany. De-
spite the fact that "water flowed like
champagne" at his total abstinence ban

POPULARITY OF GLASS BEADS

The sudden demand for glass beads
which has recently sprung up. and
the increased demand on the different
manufacturers for them came uneX-
pectedly even to the bead industry it
self. because these colored glass and
metal beads. as a material for artistic
effects, had been almost completely
forgotten for a number of years, and
the rich, fantastical. color schemes
which it is possible to carry out with
beads. were greatly moderated.
The change is due chiefly to the
search for sparkling color effects for
decorating modern cos 'umes for wom-
en-. the designers again resorting TO
colored beads. Interior decorators,
makers Of textiles and manufacturers
Of gas and electric light fixtures. have
also recognized the value of colored
glass beads for decorative purposes
The glass bead manufacturers have
observed this and sought to meet the
various requirements, but have had no
time 10 increase the market through
their own models and ideas. because
current orders must first be filled.
great many of the technical
branches have these beads made to
order after their own design. and some
pretty novelties for decorating the
hair are being made from them, such
as diadem bands, nets for the hair.
turban hoods, etc. The beads used for
these articles are strung on strong
silk thread or thin wires and are
made in the cOlOrs that are fashiona-
BILE for the toilet. 1t is uncertain
whether the latest novelty from Paris,
flowers made of glass beads intend
ed for decorating hats, will find a
ready market in Germany, although
the models on sale are beautiful in
color and graceful in form. 1t is
said that one great advantage these
have over other artificial flowers is
that the colors do not fade in the
sun. and they are. therefore, especial
~ suitable for summer hats.
These beads are i'm great demand
this season for decorating women's
costumes which opens a large field to
manufacturers in this line. The metal
industry is also becoming interested
in glass beads as a decorative mater
ial. The color of the metal is offset
by that of the beads. and the effect
produced is excellent and should lead
