" ASHINGTON.-W so.
W cial season is in full swing and
the big balls, the official receptions
and state dinners at the White House
now follow one another in bewildering
rapidity.
A tradition, well-nigh as old as the
republic itself, prescribes the four
official receptions at the White House
of which the first is given for the
diplomatic corps, the second for the
Supreme court, the third for the mem
bers of congress and the last for the
officers Of the army and navy. Dur
Ing President Taft's incumbency of
the White House these receptions
have acquired significance which
they have lacked for many years. By
limiting the number of invitations and
endeavoring to avoid asking the same
persons twice, the receptions have
been made more enjoyable and also
far more brilliant.
state dinners at the White House
follow the same order as the recep-
lions, the first being given for the dip
tomato corps. President and Mrs.
Taft will this season add one dinner,
and the reception to congress will be

Mr.. Taft's first visit to the top of the
monument, although he had lived in
Washington more than ten years.
The president walked to each of the
windows in turn. 1T must be fine up
here on clear day." he said, as he
turned away at last to enter the ele-
vator on the trip down. At the en-.
trance to the shaft the president
paused a minute undecided, and then
went away.
The witness with the green macaw
feather exclaimed: "Oh, John, dear
I'm glad we've seen the president, but
we mustn't miss the view. Well &c
up again tomorrow"
The president strolled to the senate
wing of the capitol. The elevator ma y

THE HOME THAT APPEALS.

1t is not the mansion of wealth that
appeals to all. But the house we like
is one that represents home. 1t is
cosy, pretty, artistic, convenient to
the trade portion of the city, yet sit
uated far enough out where fresh air
is obtainable. 1t is place to go af-
ter the busy working hours of the
day, and men who know what brain
flag Is, will hasten from the turmoil
OF life down in the busy city to seek
the cosy home, be it even one of the
most modest structures upon his
street.
To a man of discriminating taste
and limited means who is looking
forward to building his own home, it
behooves him to buy lot in a grow
ing district, and let the town grow
up with his own house. First the To-
cation can be carefully selected; next
the lots will be cheaper and he can
take time about planning the house.
But the man, alone, should not plan
the work, providing he has wife, for
she will know more about the inter-
ior plans, since every woman is a
born architect. in a sense, and knows
how to conveniently plan the best
places for closets, cupboard room
and have everything adjusted for saw
ing steps. A home large enough for
your needs, small enough for your
pocketbook and artistic enough in
itself and surroundings to be attrac-
tive to the friend and visitor, is more
than a satisfaction. 1t is not neces-
sary providing one has fair salary,
To have a mushroom house. erect 1t
one day. furnish it the next and live
in it the third The ambitious home
seeker is willing to let a few rooms
go undecorated or unfurnished for a
time, gradually leading up to its
completion. 1t is possible to build
few rooms, adding a room or two
rooms each year or so until the de-
sired number are obtained. Thanks
to our modern architects, they have
given us good information relative
to such plans, thus making it pos
sible for even a poor man to own his
own home, and thus avoid heavy
rents. By the time the house is
completed, others will have been
built and the expense will be far less
than borrowing money or plunging
into mortgages. OF course to have
pretty house as well as a good home
will depend upon the eXertion of the
man to furnish such, after which the
wife can be depended upon to give
the finishing touches that give to
house the atmosphere of the home
beautiful.

OUR TELEGRAPH SERVICE.

Perth Amboy got a real taste OF
night delivery of kilograms by tele-

night is New Brunswick which, as
We have said before, is a city con

more u~p-to-date service than We are
afforded.
According to reports in this city
Thursday night, the occupants in
four different houses in the south
ern end of the city were aroused
from their sIumbers at midnight to
answer the telephone. only to be
abused by the person in the tele-
graph office at New Brunswick when
it was found they were not the party
Even after the right house
was secured there was more trou-
BILE and the message was not deliv-
cred until the party for whom it was
intended paid fifteen cents in tele-
phone tolls the next morning to call
I'D New Brunswick to find out what
the message was about. When this
was done the message had not yet
been received at the local Office, al
though later it came in over the
wire here and was promptly deliv-
cred. 1t was then found, in COM
pairing the telegram received here
with the message that was tele-
phoned from New Brunswick, that
the latter had been greatly garbled.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO CAMPAIGN.

Another important feature in con-
nection with the new Geran law is
brought out today when the time ex-
pires for candidates for the various
nominations to file their afidavits,
showing their receipts and expenses
in conducting the primary cam
paign. The law limits each candi-
date in the amount Of money to be
spent to get the nomination, accord
ing to the Office for which he Is run
ming. The affdavits must show
from whom the money was received
and for what 1t was spent. In this
way corruption is kept down to a
minimum. While 1t is possible for
a candidate to swear falsely it is
an extremely dangerous practice.
This publicity feature of the cam
paign must also be carried out in
the general election in November
1t is made a part of the law so as to
guard the mar of small means from
being overwhelmed by his wealthy
opponent and also to prevent large
corporations from furnishing money
for the election of candidates for
offices which they desire to control.
1t is interesting to note that the
money spent by the candidates in
this city, even where there were
contests, is very small. In some in
stances the campaign did not cost
the candidate a cent. This thor
oughly ]disproves any statement
made by the opponents of the new
election law to the effect that candi-
dates for office are forced to stand
the expense of two campaigns, for
the primary and for the general
election, instead of for the general
election alone as heretofore.
