WHAT NOMINATED MARSHALL.

The argument that helped to nominate
Marshall was that he was a liberal in
his views on the liquor question. 1t was
potential argument with the vets who
were seated in the convention Governor
Wilson had just been nominated for
president Governor Wilson is supposed
to be near prohibitionist Some of
the delegates were quite wroth over the
action of the conv ,ntion in selecting for
president a Temperance fanatic" as
they called Wilson. They sent out
Macedonian call for the nomination of
liberal for vice pr s,dent who would
balance the ticket. Marshall was rated
as liberal. Cove nor John Burke, his
closest competitor, was rated as a Pro-
hibtionist masquerading in Democratic
clothing. 1t would never do to nominate
Wilson and Burke. the vets said Then
Marshall is classed as reactlonary TOO
William j. Bryan was opposed to Mar
shalls nomination, hut finally gave In
thinking that the public might consider
him little bit greedy If he should balk
on account of Marshall fter all the other
victories he had won.-The Bene Wit

WHAT MARSHALL HAS DONE.

On the first column of your editorial
page of JUL 4. | find a most astonishing
article entitled Marshall for Vice Presi-
dent This man VINO carried a little
boom'et for president to the Baltimore
convention and came back as the tail
end is pictured as most al,iable Chris
tian gentleman who could do no wrong
If he would Christian? Central Africa,
to mention no hotter place. is full of
such Christians. True. these gentlemen
of color are some on killing ,acn other,
but what has Marshall done as a brother
saint?
With stroke of his pen he has open
ed hundreds of saloons that had been
closed by the vote of the people. And
by this he has made thousands o. trunk
ards of his fellows and brought misery
that cannot be expressed in words to
thousands of homes in our fair state. A
majority of 10000 against the saloons
has been kicked into the gutter by this
Christian gentleman, and in all this
heathenish business the devil, the brew,
ers and The Star rejoice. What do the
friends of decency and prosperity think
of such work? Will they go to the polls
and sustain such an abominable business
or will they tie a milestone about its
neck and cast it into the sea Let us
vote r!ght.-T. c. Neal, in Indianapolis

WILSON AND MARSHALL

The National Democratic convention
tied a cal to Wilson's kite when they
named Marshall, of Indiana, as his run
ming mate. Wilson claims to be a pro-
gressive, while Marshall is reactionary
just the opposite to wilson. and, too,
the wet element had to be pacified and
Marshall suits the vets. He has done
the bidding of the liquor element ever
since he has been in office in Indiana.
Wilson is too near the Prohibitionst to
hold the wet element of the party, but
the convention figured that Marshall
would just fill the bill for that purpose

WHOM IT PLEASES.

The nomination of Marshall for vice.
president by the Democrats is expected
to please the reactionaries and the
brewery interests. 1t will be recalled
that Bryan some time ago expressed the
opinion that the Indiana governor was
not available for place on the national
ticket because he was too much OF
reactionary and too wet.

FOR STOUT WOMEN.

Skirts are still attached to a slightly
high belt, unless it is better to ac-
centuate the waist-line for those who
are not slim and straight. In word
to the woman who has increased In
weight nothing will be more becoming
than the softly draped surplice waist
which cannot be surpassed in grace
and skirt unbroken in length.
She can create on this foundation
as her fancy may dictate, a thousand
original ideas-panels of lace, bands II
lengthwise strips-but always mus
bear in mind that good results are
achieved only when the lines are Ions
and simple.
The best-gowned women recognize

THE HIGH TEA.

The high tea, whether for Sunday
night or on a more festive occasion, is
conducted similarly to the home lunch
con. The table is prettily decorated
with seasonable flowers and daintlly
arranged. Plates of thinly sliced white
bread, rolls, or sandwiches, as the case
may be, tiny pats Of butter, nodded
cream cheese, cold meats, the salad,
cake. and fruit may all be placed on
the table before the guests arrive. II
tea is to be brewed at the table by
the hostess the copper kettle, teapot
caddy, and cups should be there also.
If. however, the mistress wishes to
prepare the hot entree in the chafing'
dish it is better to have the tea
brought in or brewed at a side table,
the chafing-dish and its equipments
taking the place of the tea service.
1t is especially easy at this time OF
the year to find appropriate supper
dishes that will not call for much time
and labor in their preparation. Moth
ing is better for the cold meat course
than a meat loaf evenly sliced and
attractively garnished with parsley OF
cress, which may be prepared the day
before it is needed from either chick
en-. veal, or lamb. Cold chicken meal
finely chopped and nodded in aspic

ed eggs and fancy strips of pimento

THE cHILp,s TOYS.

Cloaked under a pretense of making
the children happy, our sins have been
many. In the first place, we have
been giving them too many toys and
have made the recipients blase and
unappreciative. One at a time is
enough. In our secret souls most of
us have been conscious of that mis-
take. In the second place, in our de-
sire to produce something new and
wonderful at frequent intervals, some
thing that would do us credit in the
eyes of our young admirers, we have
been getting the wrong kinds. The
imported mechanical toys upon which
we have fallen with gusto and played
happily ourselves until obliged to hand
them over are far better for us, il
seems, than for them. They do the
work for the child instead of making
him do it.
Here we have in nutshell the main
principle underlying the selection OF
toys. The child's toys should stimu
late his imagination and make him
work. If he has too many he has no
thing left to imagine; if they respond
to the magic of key, he can only
stand by and watch.

When cool beat in the juice of one
lemon. Then add very finely ground
meat that may be preferred. Finel;
chopped watercress, lettuce, celery o.
olives may also be added if wished.
Spread the mixture between bread
and butter and you have substantial,
delicious and appetizing sandwiches.
For a salad a little out of the or
binary, take a small can of French
peas and stew gently in their own
liquor. Season with salt, pepper and
pinch of sugar When the liquor
has been all absorbed, cool, and then
add. half pound of English walnut
kernels chopped. Pour over the MKT
ure half cupful of mayonnaise and
serve on lettuce leaves.
Another delicious salad is made OF
crisp white lettuce leaves, sliced red
peppers, chopped olives and a fe"
slices of cucumbers. For this, use 1

A little more substantial is a salad
made of chopped pecan nut kernels
mixed with twice their bulk of cream
cheese. Add a little thick cream t.
aid their mixing. Season with peppe

SURPRISE EGGS.

This is a good way to use any left
over fish. Pick t into small pieces
and season with salt and pepper. Mix
with it a little thick white sauce and
enough beaten egg to bind it and let
it stand for a while. Boil as many
eggs as are needed for fifteen minutes,
remove the shells, and cut the eggs
in half. Take out the yolks and mix
them with butter, salt, cayenne pep
per, and a very little vinegar. Fill the
whites with this mixture. Roll the
fish into balls and form them into lit
tie nests. In each nest put one of the
pieces of egg and mold the fish around
it, covering the top. Dip each ball
into beaten egg and then into fine
bread crumbs, repeating the process
in a few minutes Fry in deep fat.

PLANTS FIR Nj CUTTINGS.

When growing plants from cuttings
take OFF from old ones the tips of the
branches with a sharp knife, using a
quick downward stroke taking three
"eyes" or buds. When the soil is filled
in the flats firm it at once, and with
quick, firm stroke, holding the cutting
between the thumb and first finger, in
sert it in the soil, releasing the fingers
as soon as the lower bud has been
covered a halfinch, When all are
planted soak the fiat, shade for a day
and set in a slight window shade with
a white curtain. Pot into two-inct
pots as soon as the cuttings form
small mass of roots, which will be in
from three to four weeks, From this
on the treatment of the seedlings ant
rooted cuttings is the same. Shift
them on as their pots fill with roots

DAINTY REFRESHMENTS
FOR EVENING AFFAIRS

What to serve for refreshments
sometimes bothers a hostess. Nov
city of course is desirable, but the
substantial should not be sacrificed
for the novel. For, as a rule, when
the time comes for refreshments,
guests, especially if they have been
dancing, are hungry.
Sandwiches, fried oysters, salads,
cakes and ices are always stand-byes,
with chocolate, coffee, grape-juice,
lemonade and fruit punch for drinks.
On this foundation, one can ring as
much variety as is desired, and serve
these things in as dainty fashion as
possible. The question of cost largely
controls this.
For sandwiches, the bread should
of course be cut thin and the crusts
be removed. They are daintier in APP
pearance, if the bread is cut in pretty
shapes. Salad sandwiches, and those
with any sort of soft filling, should
not be made until about ready to be
served, if possible.
A very delicious sandwich which
was evolved by the hostess and which
won unstinted commentator at lit
tie affair recently, was made of chop
ped nuts and raisins mixed with plain
gelatine. The nuts were mixture o.
English walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts
and peanuts, ground in chopper il
moderate sized pieces. The raisini
were seeded and cut into small
pieces. The gelatine was the plain
clear kind favored with lemon anC
orange. 1t was made very stiff, the
nuts and raisins mixed in it, and thu
whole spread, at the last minute, be
tween the buttered bread.
Cocoanut sandwiches are delicious
To make them, take a cupful o
freshly grated cocoanut, half a cup
full of nuts ground fine, a teaspoonfu
of lemon juice, two teaspoonfuls o
powdered sugar, and three tablespoon
fuls of thick cream worked in. Sprea,
this mixture between the bread an
butter.
Grated cheese creamed with Al
equal quantity of butter spread Ol
thin slices of bread, and sprinkle,
, with minced watercress is appetizing
A very good filling for sandwiche
may be made of two cupfuls of cream
or milk, two large tablespoonful o
flour, the yolks of four eggs, butte
the size of an egg, a teaspoonful eacl
, of salt and mixed mustard, and per
per to taste. Beat the yolks of tn
i eggs first, then mix in the other in

TO REDUCE HIPS.

Most simple of an exercises for re-
ducing flesh about the waist and hips
and at the same time making one sup
pie and graceful is the movement
which one makes when STOPPING to
pick up something that has dropped
upon the floor. The practical woman
may combine flesh-reductiOn exercises
with homework by bending as often as
is necessary to pick up threads from
a carpet or gather up the odds and
ends that family somehow manage
to strew over the floor.
This act should be performed both
with bent and with regid knees, as the
effect is different when the knees are
lax or otherwise. No less simple than
this daily exercise of every housewife
is that of a walk before breakfast,
often without even a glass of water
to break the fast of the night To one
who cannot take an outdoor walk in
the early morning the open window
is always possible. Before this such
exercises may be taken, meanwhile
inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.
This will set the blood into healthy
circulation, prepare one for the duties
of the day, and, if the exercises con-
sist of any of those described, will
inevitably reduce flesh in a normal
and healthiful manner.

TO REDUCE FLESH.

Another infallible exercise for re-
ducing the waist to slender proper
lions and at the same time strength
ening all the muscles around it is to
lie fiat upon the back, upon awaking
in the morning, with feet held rigidly
beneath the foot-rod of the bed and on
level with it, and then lift ones
self by the waist muscles to a sitting
posture. If this movement is only
practiced three times each morning
a rapid decrease of girth and increase
of strength about the torso will be
perceptible.

TO REDUCE THE WAIST.

Simple as it is, a valuable exercise
for reducing the waist and hips and at
the same time strengthening the mus
Giles of the back and loins consists in
lying upon one side, with the head
upon a pillow and hands clasped
around the right knee, which should
be drawn up in front Of the abdomen
One should pull upon the knee with al
ones strength for few seconds and
then relax After repeating this ten
times the same movement should be
gone through with, lying on the Other
side and using the left knee. Gradual
ly it becomes possible to increase the
movements to twenty, never turning
over until one side has had all the eX
ercising that it should.

INDIVIDUAL FASHIONS.

1t is almost unconsciously that one
notices that the shop windows which
make our cities so spectacular and de-
lightful are showing prophetic visions
of what we are to be within ever so
short a time. A gaily colored hat of
soft olive and old-gold holds us fas-
cinated We long for the will power
to walk on, but it fingers in our mem
DRY. How often has the woman of
courage admitted that she could have
passed by bravely any other hat, but
the peculiar fascination and need Of
that one had held her fast! Yet why
should she hesitate when she sees
what suits her taste and individual
style? The woman who would be
well dressed must consider seriously
colors that blend with her hair hel
eyes, and her general appearance
for the girl and woman of golden
coloring brown and the soft shades
of green are never failing delights
while silver grays and olives cannot
help but tempt the fortunate posses
sor of gray hair.
