BACK
TO ROUTINE DUTY
His Brief Vacation in New
Hampshire 0ver-Has
Busy Day.

Bringing to an end a vacation period at
the summer White House at Cornish, n.
H., at which no public business received
his consideration, President Wilson arriv-
ed at the White House shortly before 10
o'clock this morning. He was accom-
panied by Lieut.. Cary T. Grayson u.
S. N, his physician, who was his sole
official companion. Newspapermen who
had been sent to cover the President s
holiday returned on the same train.
The President at the Union station was
met by Secretary Tumulty. who rode with
him back to the White House in the
White House automobile. giving him
briefly what news he had of public af-
fairs, and helping him to pick up the
threads of official business, dropped when
he went into the woods.
The President did not take time to
change his clothing before taking up his
official routine. The newspaper men were
assembled for the usual 10 o'clock Mon
day morning conference. The President
kept the appointment to the minute. His
morning was largely occupied. however,
in conference with members of both
houses Of Congress, and other callers.
Physical Condition Improved.
The Presidents physical appearance
showed the good effect of suspension Of
public care. He was ruddy. with the
look Of the outdoors. his shoulders were
carried we'll back and his weight seemed
increased.
Talking about his vacation he told of
having made bogie at several holes on
several occasions on the golf links, but
admitted he had never covered the course
in bogie. '"The mystery og thee eye

ing that the package received at Cornish

same time was telegraphed to. and direct
ed to make another pair of glasses. The

ontician reached him sooner than the
glasses sent to him by special delivery

Mexican Situation Not Alarming.
There is no present alarm entertained
by the President that anti-American SEN
timent in Mexico will result In a jap
anese-Mexican alliance. no matter how
nop,llar such a pact might be with some
sections Of the Mexican republic. The
renort of the enthusiastic reception given
in Mexico City to the arriving minister
from Japan he refuses to regard as hav-
ing any great political or International
significance.
The Japanese situation has not had
his consideration since his departure
from Washington for his vacation in
the New Hampshire mountains. He
considers that there has been no new
complication to require his especial
scrutiny.
president Wilson today expressed
surprise that the Senate finance COM
mittee had increased duties in the tariff
hill on works of art and books He
believes those articles are more of edu-
cational use than they are luxuries. 1t

consult senators on the change.

The truth about her age lies at the

The soft-hearted woman is the

LONELINESS IN woman Is the first

No women are so self righteous as
those who have never been tempted.
When a woman wishes to give an
other woman a cat scratch she says.
How well you are looking. You

The wife and mother who is tndis-
pensable TO her family has yet TO be

There are two secrets that every
woman can keep-her age. and what
bait she used IN catching her hus-
band.
The most valuable talent that any
woman can possess is TO be born with
the ability to weep without getting
her nose red
4 woman loves a man for what he
is. A man loves a woman for what
he imagines her to be.
Many a woman asks her husband

TN these days OF great wealth many
young couples beginning housekeep-
- ing think themselves very forJu-
nate in having homes made ready for
them. They step into a perfectly ap-
pointed house. given to them by indul-
gent parents. or an apartment complete
ly and richly furnished. No wish seems
unqualified. There is little to do but
to arrange the splendid accumulation of
wedding presents and set them forth to
the best advantage and to start the
wheels running in a household where
there need be no consideration as to ex-
pense.
1t is a question whether there is as
much true pleasure and satisfaction for
these richly favored persons as for those
whose pathway is the happy one be
tween wealth and poverty
The young married woman who finds
little else TO do but visit shop. amuse
herself, practice her music little, read
a little, and motor about very much,
realizes, after a while. that she is just
a trifle dull and bored after the first
flush of novelty in arranging her house
keeping is over. There seems almost a
surfeit in the rich, luxurious things
provided by the lavish expenditure of
parents and the wedding gifts of friends
There can be no doubt that those
persons in the middle path, where the
purse is not overlooking. but poverty is
not TO be feared, have a rich compensa-
ton for their smaller share of worldly
goods. They have the wonderful delight
and privilege of making and developing
a home.
1t is certainly a pleasure to be in the
