New Home in Fine Order.

Mrs. Wilson viii find the White House
in far better condition than did Mrs.
Roosevelt when she took possession after
the death of President Mckinley. The
historic structure has been remodelied,
and has been under splendid care since
then. Each year IL has undergone "a
systematic overhauIing until il fairly
shines. Mrs. Taft, who is an excellent
housekecpor, found little TO change. and
she Will leave still less 10 be- done She
and Mrs. Wilson are much alike i'm that
their intellectual attliuments are para
mount, and their housekeeping matter
Of keen intelligence and executive ability
rather than dgudgery.
Mrs Taft did away with the frcakish
shaped dining tables which were used on
state occasions in the White House, and
introduced a simple s,ateliuess which had
never been cquau,d there. Mrs. WUson
will probably use the Dolly Madison gold
table service, which Mrs. Roosevelt had
done over at great cost. and which has
been in constant use on state occasions
since then. in point Of true economy,
even the far famed democratic simplicity
OF Mrs Wilson can hardly exceed tine
management Of Mrs Taft
one Of the great innovations made By
Mrs. Taft, and which the Southern hos
pitallty Of Mrs Wilson will tempt her to
carry out during the next administration,
IS the custom Of serving refreshments at
all state receptions 1t was an arduous
task al first, and hundreds of women
prominent in the social world tried to dis
r. no This
they could not do. however and by her
persistency she Will leave precedent un-
equalIed by any former mistress Of the
mansion.
What Mrs Taft has been to the musical
world Mrs Wilson will be to the art
world. and artists here and elsewhere are
looking to her Tor many benefits. After
the Wilson girls outgrew their goveruess
and went away to school. Mrs. Wilson
again resumed the study Of painting and
designing, and the Corcoran Gallery and
the National Art Gallery win afford her
new fields for study
The simple Colonial gardens to the
south OF the White House are the work
Of Mrs Roosevelt and Mrs. Taft, who
brought order out Of chaos, but with her
talent for landscape gardening there are
many possibilities IN the ample grounds
about the Presidents home on which Mrs.
Wilson may exercise her skill.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison was such a
lover OF painting that when she LETT In

Vitnl Point in Movement.


Here r. the vital point at the pre- ent
moment in the woman suffrage movement
shall II remain what IL always has been,
absolutely non-partisan, or will 1t be alb
sorbed by some political party? Until this
national convention which has just closed
there never was "a necessity FOR asking
this question. Tor the uou-partisau policy
was as fixed as the laws OF the Modes
and Persians, and was observed not only
by national but Uy state officers and
leaders. II must be admitted that no oc-
cas.ou had arisen Tor any departure from
this policy. as the parties which cspoused
this cause were not strong enough to offer
any temptation. Now, however. an emer-
gency has arisen which viii have 10 be
met For the first time in the history Of
the national association three out of the
eight members Of the national board had
publicly affiliated with political parties,
TWO with the Progressive and one with the
Socialist, while a fourth had shown her
preference in a very public manner \
proposition to put into the constitution a
clause directing the officers to maintain
a strictly non-partisan attitude was de-
feated by a vote of ten 10 one. At any
previous convention it would have been
adopted by a similar vote.

CAPPED HOODS FROM SCARFS
Exceedingly Pretty Are Some Of the
Designs, Generally in Two
Shades.

Capped hoods contrived from straight
lengths Of material are boon to
those women who ike q definitely
shaped head covering for evening use.
A scarf, 2115 yards long by one yard
wide, is box plated across the center
of one side to make a length Of about
eight inches and at a fingers distance
from the edge Of each outer plat an
elastic band is run through a shirring,
crossing the entire width Of the scarf,
and this shirring is finally covered by
a broad ribbon which ties beneath the
chin. This arrangement Of pIaits and
shirrings forms a full, soft hood, which
falls in graceful folds about the head,
while the remainder Of the scarf
makes perfectly shaped cape to pro
tect the throat, shoulders and upper
portion Of the arms.
Exceedingly pretty cape hoods may
be made from lengths of silk batiste
or of shot tafeta in two shades of
yellow, green, mauye, blue or apricot,

English School Teachers Do No
Agree on the Subject of Educating
Young Women.

London-'No man, however good
lie may be, understands girls, neither
does he understand women"
This pearl of wisdom fell from the
lips Of Miss Cox Of Birmingham at
he conference of Head Teachers of
Stoke. She moved a resolution assert
ing that mixed schools and combined
departments under the charge of a
headmaster are not conducive to the
best training of girls.
THE decreasing proportion of wom-
IN teachers who can become mistress
rs of girls schools is" she said, very
uscouraging to the large body of wom-
Pm, who, by sex, ability, training and
qualifications, are best fitted to take
charge of girls. Something should be
ione whereby women teachers should
have justice. I think the time has
some when the women should stand
40 for their rights in this matter Of
he training of girls. I firmly believe
hat men should have the training of
bows and women the training of girls. -
Miss Cooper of Birmingham said
they all knew that boys and girls de-
Feloped their mental capacities at diff
terent ages, and it was impossible for
them to be taught together in a
group.
1T has been asserted" she said,
that where boys and girls are taught
together discipline is better. I deny
hat. 1t is infinitely worse. Discipline
cannot be administered to both sexes

SOME IDEAS FOR GIFTS
DAINTY NOVELTIES SURE TO
PLEASE THE RECIPIENT.
Clever NeedIeWoman Never Need Be
a. Loss for a Suitable Present.
More Pleasing When Made
by Hand.

A gift that is made by hand is al
ways twice as valuable as one that is
bought. and so many dainty novelties
are seen now that offer suggestions
for needlewomen that no one need be
at loss as to what to make for the
traveller or the girl graduate or the
bride of these summer days.
To begin with the woman who is
going anywhere are so many gifts
one hardly knows where to start, but
one OF the incest is a set of dress
envelopes" for her trunk.
These envelopes are made of heavy
linen, the shape copied from any en-
VeIope, and they should be the size of
the trunk. At least a half dozen may
be made, bound with ribbon and work
ed with monogram, and then into
them may be slipped the travellers
prettlest frocks, keeping them from
ever coming in contact with the 9th
er things in the trunk.
sometimes these envelopes are sim
ply doubled sheets of bristol board
or heavy cardboard, covered with
linen and tied together with ribbon.
Another nice gift to make for the
traveller is a set of bags for her shoes,
or a case lined with oiled silk for
her toilet articles.
For a bride-to-be the gifts are also
infinite in number and variety. A half
oozen little guest towels marked with
cEoss-stltch designs, satchet pads for
the chest in which her trousseau is
Kept anything in the way of house
hold linen marked with her monogram.
and also any bit of handmade lin
geries You may select.
Nothing very new, you say. Well,
perhaps not, but they will be new
and wonderful to the girl wrapped in
her dreams Of future and present hap
piness.
For the girl graduate there are
many presents easily made. One Of
these is a pretty case of kodak pic
lures made from long strips of linen
fastened together, the inner strip be-
ing made with "buttonholes" wide
enough for the pictures at intervals
both top and bottom.
These may then be folded over and
over and tied with ribbons, the girls
monogram and the date being worked
on the outside edge.
Another novel and attractive gift is
set of collars, cuffs, jabot, a belt
and hat band, all of hand-worked
linen, edged perhaps with tiny frills
of lace, while another nice gift for
either bride or girl graduate is set
Of aprons-a work apron, an en-
broidery aprons-being half way up
to form huge pocket for work., a
chatting dish apron and a garden apron

STILL THE FLUFFY NECKWEAR
Vogue of This Most Becoming Mode
Seems to Be as Firmly Estab-
Iished as Ever.

Feathered neckwear is worn once
again, and We realize once more how
cosey, soft and becoming it is. Time
and again it has been said that the
reign Of the feather boa is over, but
far from this being the case, most fas-
cinating ruf1es are now being shown
at prices which almost equal those of
fur. The widest, softest and fullest
Of these is of doubled Iancered white
feathers, a most opulent and beauti-
full stole.
For the most part, however, feather
necklets, though still soft and lovely
and very full, are shorter than they
were. Nearly all of them have pen
dant tassels, but even so they do not
come far below the waist. The long.
thin wisp which lent itself to the car
feature has quite ceased to be, and os-
trich stoles are now worn quite as
wide as those of marabout.
Fashion gives its best approval to
the wide boa of ostrich feathers either
in black or white or in color match
ing the gown.
