rha Old PaIntar

An anecdote which Charles Francis Adams told years ago to the young Henry Cabot Lodge was reteld by him in Scribner's. It was one of Gilbert Stuart and of MT. Adams grandfaeter.
 Stuart painted 8 portrait of John Adams in extreme old age, when he was nearing his nfnetfeth year. It is a very fine portrait of the old man leaning on his cane. Charles Francis Adams, boy of eighteen, used to keep his grandfather company during the sfttings and watch the painter at work He said that Stuart, who was old, too, and near the end of his career, was physically feeble. Both his hands shook violently. From 8 quivering palette he would take his color, and with his brush shaking and trembling he would touch the picture. MT. Adams said it looked as if be might dash the paint on anywhere, but the brush always touched the portrg ex- traordfnary as it seemed, in exactl, the right spot and in the right way. De spite his shaking hands and trembling fingers the old artist never made a mistake I

Miss Frances r'olsom, the bride, was twenty and was noted as being grace full and winsome. Her enga cement to the president was made in the summer of 1885. Soon after she went to Eu- rope with her mother and remained there until few days before her we'd ding. That occurred on the evening of June 2, 1886, at o'clock, in the blue room.
 Roosevelt-Longworth Nuptials.
 The wedding of Miss Alice Roose- welt to the then Representative Mich olas Longworth of Ohio in 1906 is of too recent date to need more than pass ing mention. It was the twelfth of the series and was by far the most brilliant ceremony ever held in the White House, with the single excep- ton, perhaps, of that of President Cleveland and Miss Folsom. It took place in the east room, where the com ing nuptials of Miss Wilson and MT. Sayre are to take place.
 Yet while Miss Jessie Wilson viii have the distinction of being the t1a4r- Geenth young woman to become q bride in the White House, as mention ed at the beginning of this article, it is by no means certain that hers win be the only wedding ceremony to be held there during her fathers adnfnAetRa- tton. The president has two other daughters, who vie with their sister In charm and atEactfveness, and it is by no means impossible that the na mes of one or both of, these may, yet, be added to the distinguished list of White House brides

Monroe Marriage Simple.

Monroe Marriage Simple.
 Mrs. Monroe was a city bred woman. She had been brought up in the exclu- sdve circle of New York, and she did not approve of the Virginia style So the wedding of her youngest daughter was the reverse of a grand affair.
 The circular or blue room was cho- sen for the wedding, and the Rev. Dr. HawIey of St. Johns church perform ed the ceremony, which took, place at noon.
 The fourth marriage celebrated in the presidents house was that of John Adams, the son and private secretary of President John Quincy Adams. He was married to his cousin, Helen Jack son of Philadelphia Miss Jackson was a niece of Mrs. Adams, and her broth er, Walter Jackson was 8 secretary to the president and lived in the White House
 It was an evening affair, and the ceremony was performed Feb. 10, 1928, in the blue room in the presence of a distinguished gathering. Dr. Flaw ley ofhciated on this occasion as he had done at Miss Monroe's wedding, and the president and Mrs Adams, though it was known that they did not who'll ly approve of the match, made the wedding notably gay one.
 The Jackson Administration.
 Andrew Jackson's administration succeeded that of John Quincy Adams, and 1t is recalled as one during which there were three weddings
 The fifth marriage in White House history was that of Miss Della Lewis of Nashville, Tenn, whose father, Will Ham B. Lewis, was one of President Jackson's most intimate personal friends. He practically lived in the presidents house and was a member of that famous kitchen cabinet carica- tured so persistentiy in that day.
 Miss Lewis was married to MT. Al phonse Joseph Yver Pageot, native of Martinique, who was secretary of the French legation at the time of his mar riage.
 President Jackson was intensely fond of his wife's relatives and, being a child1ess widower and having not a relative in the world of his own, gath cred about him many young people, among whom were several of Mrs. Jackson's nieces.
 Mary Easten, Tennessee girl, was one of these nieces, and when she was married to LucfeR B. Polk of Tennes- see the president arranged to have the ceremony take place in the Blue room.
 Another White House marriage that occurred during President Jaekson's administration was that of Miss Emily Martin, niece of Mrs. Doneason, who became the bride of Lewis Randolph, a grandson of Jefferson
 Tyler-WaIler Marriage.
 The eighth wedding to occur in the White House was that of Miss Eliza beth Tyler, daughter of the president of that name, to William Waller of Virginia, the bride being but nineteen years of age, on Jan. 31, 1842.
 The next wedding, the ninth to oc- cur in the White House, did not take place until the Grant administration, when the generals beautiful daughter, Ellen, or Nellie as she is better known, became the bride of Mr. Algernon Sar- torfS. The ceremony, which was with out doubt the most brilliant function held at the White House during her fathers tenure there, has become a recollection to which all who witnessed

10000 BIG GAME PICTURES u
SOLD

Half of Postcards Sold Of Kansa
Game Were Of Rooters In
4 the Bleachers.
Do Missouri students like to look Al
their own pictures? It seems to be
rather an impertinent and insinuatine
question, yet the sale of post card
views of the Kansas game seems to
indicate its appropriateness. About
half of the post cards sold were q the
rooters in the bleachers. One store
even reported that two-thirds ofthose
sold there were of the spectators.
However the students probably can
refute the charge Of vanity with the
excuse that they bought their pictures
to send to friends.
Nearly 10000 cards were sold last
week and quite few are still being
sold. For several pictures the de-
mand was greater than the supply.
The stores were continually out ofthe
cards. The most popular single pic
ture was of the field goal. Ofit2,O00
were sold. One picture of the Min
nesota shift that was especially good
was very popular, as were an end
run, a punt, and another view of the
shift play.
Saturday evening after the game
the cards could not be made fast
enough. The stores were out of them
most of the time despite the speed
with which they were made. Besides
selling cards at the stores one picture
maker sent them to the trains and
sold thousand before the visitors
left. Practically all the cards were
made by two men, Volney McFadden
and Prof. P. w. Gumaer. BY special
processes both are able to turn out
great numbers of cards in few min
uteS.
The evening after the game Mr..
McFadden ran his machine at the rate
of 900 cards an hour for about two
hours and nearly as fast some time
after that. He has a special printing
machine that runs with motor. He
feeds it cards much in the manner in
which printing press is fed. Amov-
ing part puts the cards next to the
negative, back of which there is a
powerful electric light. The cards
drop out of the machine automatical-
ly and are packed in rack~ All the
operator needs to do is to place cards |
in the machine as it opens plate to
receive them.
With this machine McFadden has
made about $4,000 foot ball cards this
fall.-University Missourian.

Tea nrinkinn a. an Art

Hot China tea, neither too strong nor stewed, should be drunk slowly. Some people put cloye or two in their cup of hot tea. Sugar candy is often used Instead of lump sugar, and there arc sugar bonbons that dissolve quickly in tea and are popular.
 Some hostesses have their own sugar lumps made with special coloring and flavorlng to suit their individual tastes. There are balls of white fondant strong ly favored with lemon or orange juice; others pink, 6avored with rose; violet, favored with vlolets, and green balls that have n maraschino cherry Inside.
 Tea to be iced should be made rather stronger than for drinking hot When it has infused seven minutes pour it from the leaves and sweeten to taste and then stand 1t in a refrigerator for seven hours. Serve In dainty glasses with a spoonful of vanilla cream on the top or else drop a small lemon wa ter ice into the. glass. London Mall.
