OLD-7IME HOSPITALITY

Home of To-day.

stayed tho little girl never knew, for
between the surprise and the feast she
was bundled on to bed In q mass OF
downy feathers she never forgot. But
that was not all she remembered, for to
this very day she can see the houseful

minute, alive with company" ablaze
with light and warmth the next. They
apparently enjoyed every minute, hosts.

willing to Pay the Price.
But, you see. they lived far apart.
and It was seldom enough they got to-
gether to pass along the bits of neigh
borhood news. to enjoy full companion
ship and get away from the monotony
OF country life. And II extra work was
the price. they were quite willing to pay
it-at least, they said they were.
But can you fancy that kind of q
surprise in the average home to-day,
the CONSERVATION, the gasps, and the
well. what wouldn't follow?
You know. down where the much
sung Southern hospitality" fiourished
in the days Of abundant slave labor.
friends and the merest chance acquaint-
ances were always welcome. They
might come when they would. stay as
they liked. and they were as welcome
as the birds In summer. lavishly en-
tertained and feted all the while.
But that Southern hospitality" with
slave labor passed away and the ease
of entertaining gone with II, is to-day
Just the feeble ghost Of its one-time
splendid existence.
And 1t is not because the spirit In
unwilling. but. alas. because the flesh Is
weak
Extra Work Looms Big.
The average home is so ordered and
circumscribed in one way and another
that except among close friends perhaps
II is true that casual guests do bring
greater CONSERVATION than they did to
our grandmothers. The extra work looms
very big and the spirit and the flesh
somehow do not seem to work together,
except among the few whose latch
strings are free to all. For there are
many homes to-day, as yesterday, where
the only ripple is one Of welcoming pleas
ure when guests come to change the
tenor Of the days. And this in spite OF
the extra work and the extra care that
guests must always bring.
And as to mine old familiar friend
there are not many folk who do not
welcome the time for the coming of true
hearted friends.

ParboIl a thick slice of ham, and after
removing it from the pan fry 1t in small

boiled and break into it as many eggs
as are required. Serve on the fried ham.
Or reserve the ham for another meal

PLEASANT WAY OF
EARNING MONEY
Make Dainty Dishes for the Sick and
Convalescent.

City and country housewives and stay
at-home girls can earn money for them
seiyes-1f they pre- to make dainty. and
easily disested hishes yae sick and
| convalescent =
Every town has more "a less sick peo-
pie. and often the families cannot take
the time or have not the skill to cook
dainty and palatable dishes that will
stimulate the appetite Of the sick one.
Often the doctor Is driven to distrac-
ton because he cannot get the properly
cooked food for his patients, for in
family where there is no maid the mother
seldom has the time TO prepare meals
for the well members of the family. and
then cook extra things for the sick one.
Consequently the convalescent must eat
but are not so easily digested as others
which it would take some time to pre-
pare.
Announce Capabilities.
A good idea would be- to call on the
doctors in the town or those near your
neighborhood in the city and explain that
your are capable of cooking appetiZing
dishes for convslescent and sick persons.
In this way the doctor VIII be able to
make terms with the family and is sure
that his patient Is getting the exact food
that is necessary to build up the weak
ened constitution. =.
There will be a constant demand for
dietetic bread and rolls. and for broths
and jellies OF all kinds.
Among the many dishes which may De
prepared for the sick are beef extract
and albumen water. egg lemonade, Irish
moss, blanc mango. wine jelly. calves
foot jelly, cup custard. Jellled chicken
broth, beef tea. mutton broth, clam BROTH
.nrEt ytr1,. ar,A ,r,Nr sArl,,
The utmost care is neeied in making
these, for they must not be allowed to
scorch the least bit. There. is also much
TO be said about the serving of these. for
to a sick person this adds to or detracts
from :he appetite.
Service Counts.
A dainty of odd plate will glorify the
most prosaic clam broth, while the 3el-
lied chicken broth that is served on q
bed of fresh and cool-looking lettuce
leaves will taste twice as good as the
jellied broth served In a coarse white cup
or plate. r=
The clever woman will invent all sorts
of pretty little ''hxings" for the light
meals she sends to her paSrons, and once
a doctor finds that the plan Is successful
there will be more orders coming than
one girl can manage.
When meals are to be made for chill |
dren. it is well to invest in . number Of
queer little cups, saucers. and plates |
which will attract the younsster and hold
its attention. |
And even the g-ownups are just as sus-
ceptible as the small folk, and will be |
delighted with odd dishes which need not |
be expensive. |
A small, narrow glass vase may be |
bought for 10 cents, and a single flower |
in this will cheer the sick one.

The scene of the political conflict
shifts now to Chicago. There is
every evidence that there will be
battle royal between the fol
lowers of President Taft and the
adherents of Colonel Roosevelt.
There will be aggression all along
the line. Secretary Charles D.
IIilles, than there is not more
skllful political general in the
country, will have charge of the
Taft interests, assisted by the cleY-
cr tactician, William b. Mckinley,
and Recorder Henry Lincoln John
son, Of Georgia, will be on hand to
give national color to the situation.
On the Roosevelt side, Director J.
i NJ. Dixon, WILL do the heavy work,
thanked by Ormsby McIIarg, and
Former Recorder John G.. Dancy,
will look after the Negro s part Of
the Colonel's propaganda. TO Il
greater extent than in any other
! prc-conventlon campaign, the Ne
gro voters Of the country have tax
en- a passionate interest in behalf
iof individual candidates, every
where the race is found lined up in
battle array, a militant force for
Taft and Roosevelt. AS yet the
result is shrouded in doubt. Both
clans claim majority of the dele
gates, but the nomination, as it
stands at this time, will be deter
mined by the voters classed as un-
instructed, doubtful or uncertain
| Both of the leading candidates de
clare their intention to stand firm
to the end, which means that there
is to be no compromise. The fight
has been 50 vigorously conducted
that the line of cleavage between
their supporters has been pretty
generally exposed, and the political
future Of scores Of prominent men
is believed to be at stake. Officials
Of the high-salaried class, appoint
ed by Roosevelt and held over by
Taft, are visibly embarrassed, and
the rank and file, covered by tho
! civil service laws, are not disposed
TO take dangerous risks in PERM
cious activity. 1t can be stated
however, that the colored repub
licans can be depended upon to be
loyal to the party, whoever thu
| nominee may be. The continuance
Of the republican regime is o.

than the personal fortunes Of any
individual. They would regart
