How President Is Elected
Dear MISS Doom:

Dear Miss Doom
Kindly answer the following ques-
ton In your evening edition. A bets
Il that when three candidates are in
the field for President of the United
States the man elected must have
more than half of the electoral votes.
while b says that the man who gets
the most votes wins. A. j.
A wins.
In the three-cornered contest that
is now on the candidate to be elected
must receive 266 votes in the electoral
college, which is made up of 531 presi-
dental electors. In the event that
none of the three receives 266 or more
votes the election of President is
given to the House of Represent
atives, where the vote is taken under
the unit rule; that is. each State has
one vote, and 1t is then necessary to
receive the. votes of a majority of the
States. If you will refer to the edi-
torial page of the Evening Star of
August 20 you will find a full discus
sion of the procedure in the event
that neither candidate is elected by a
popular vote.

Later L discovered that her home

tains half made, embroidered cushion

things.
It's so easy to throw a thing up
as soon as ever one becomes bored
with 1t, but it's very bad for ones
character to get into a habit of doing
it, to say nothing of the inconvenience
caused to other people.
People who are slack in one way
are apt to get slack in others, If
they aren't careful. So slackness of
any kind is a thing to be guarded
against.
To Save Time.
If you and your maids are busy
people get a slate on which the days
orders can be written and hang it
outside the back door each morning.
The tradesmen will soon get into the
way of looking at this instead of
ringing and you will be saved many
unnecessary steps.
| arrange the whole thing under
headings, thus:
Milkman-One pint.
Baker-Two loaves.
Butcher-No order today, etc.
1t is so annoying to have to run
downstairs perhaps a dozen times in
a morning when one is in the midst
of work. | find that this plan saves
many runs, and my own and my
maids tempers.
A Useful Apron.
1t is of white oilcloth, made wide,
and with a big bib, so that 1t covers

The water cannot get through it,
ven if doing rather messy work, and
when finished it only needs a wipe
over with a damp cloth to make 1t
clean and all ready for next time.
Make some little oversleeves to go
with it, as you will find these useful,
too.
Always arm a knifeboard before
uing 1t If you want to clean the
knives with the smallest possible
amount of labor.

=. Daily Fashion Talks :.
A FASHIONABLE AFTERNOON
GOWN
BY MAY MANTON

Over-lapped effects continue to be
extremely smart and they make an
important feature of the latest styles.
This gown shows them effectively
used. The materials are French
serge, plaid silk and all-over
lace and they, as well as the style of
the gown. are smart in the extreme.
Real Scotch plaids are much liked for
trimming of the kind, and plaid silk
always is pretty in contrast with a
general tendency toward collarless
neck and short sleeves for indoor
wear. but fashions are nothing If not
varied, and each woman Is free to
arrange neck finish and length of
sleeves as she finds most becoming.
When long sleeves are used, however,
they are very long and often are
finished with points or grills that ex-
tend over the hands. If wool serge
seems o heavy a material for the
gown, it would be pretty made of
plain and plaid silks or plain and bro
caded silks, or charmeuse would be
beautiful with velvet. and charmeuse
will be exceedingly smart throughout
the fall and winter for the making
of simple costumes as we'll as for the
more elaborate ones. The skirt Is
made in three pieces that are Tapped
on to the front panel. 1t can be fln-
ished. as in this instance, a little
above the waist line. or can be cut off
and joined to a belt. Waist and
sleeves are overlapped also, and the
waist a be made with or without a
lining (which includes leeves. The
lining is closed at the centre front,
the waist slightly to the left.
For the medium size h waist will
require ga yards of material q, "a
yards sc or 2 yards A inches wide,
with 7s-yard of a~ll-over lace Is inches
wide and N yards of LACE for frills;
the skirt 3% yards 81 or S6, 2h yards
A with III yards of silk for the front
panel and trimming on the waist.
The May Manton pattern of the
| waist 1862 is cut In sizes from "a to
40 inches bust measure; of the skirt
| 1868 in sizes from 90 to 80 inches waist
measure. They will be mailed to any
| address by the fashion department OF
this paper on receipt of ten cents fol
| each.

Treatment for Oily Hair

MISS Doom:
Please let me know what is a good
remedy for my hair. 1t Is very oily and
is falling out. j. n.
Excessive oiliness is often the re-
suit of a rundown condition of the
system, and to cure it one must be
very careful to diet, exercise and rest
properly.
Go without your hat as much as
possible in order that the hair may
: get all the air it requires. DO not
shampoo it more frequently than once
every three or four weeks See If
tar soar will agree with it. Be sure
to rinse all the soap out before dry
ing. If the hair becomes too oily
between shampoos rub it and the
scalp gently with a Turkish towel.
The following tonic rubbed on the
scalp every day will yhelp to dry the
hair and stimulate its growth: Bay
rum, four ounces; tincture of cam
tharides, " drains.

Oftentimes children come from
homes where fish is an sinvariable
rule on Friday; consequently. on this
day they are always sure they will
have for lunch just bread and butter
sandwiches. Bread and butter sand
wiches are very delicate II made
properly. The bread must be forty
eight hours old, the butter spread
evenly on a loaf before the slices are
cut and put together, after which the
crusts are all cut off with a sharp
knife.
However, one grows rather tired of
knowing that every Friday one must
lunch on bread and butter, and a fish
sandwich will often prove very &C.
ceptable.
A tablespoonful of canned salmon,
which perhaps the mother is going to
make into a loaf for the Friday eve
ming dinner, can be picked fine and
to it added three drops of Worcester
shire and one-fourth of a tea
spoonful of chopped sweet pepper.
This will make two sandwiches, size
of an ordinary loaf of white bread.
White bread can be spread with any
cold fish mixed with either salad
dressing or a little lemon juice. Sar-
dimes give white bread sandwiches a
relish and prove a pleasant change.
The fish should be picked up fne and
mixed with hard boiled egg and a
little salad dressing or even a little
lemon Juice, If n does not have
salad dressing made.
Rye bread seems to cafl-Ser a
cheese as a filler, and II oneA will
crate the cheese instead of slicing
1t, 1t will be found to work very
much better. Cottage cheese with
chopped parsley, watercress, chopped
sweet pepper or a tiny bit of chopped
onion makes delicious rye bread
sandwiches.
Both Swiss and American cheese.
with a little mustard, are also fine
as filters for rye bread sandwiches.
A sweet sandwich made with rye
bread is delicious with a filing Of
raisins and marshmallows. Don't
forget that these sandwiches must be
made with the same care as the white
ones. Bread must be f~orty-eight
hours old, cut thin, and spread, deli
| cately with butter and all crusts re-
| moved.
Dreamed cheese and currant jelly
| mixed makes a nice filing, particu-
| larly if put between salted waters.
