Albany, y. Y, Feb. 1.-Governor and
Mrs. Sulzer are Democrats. with big d
and little d, too. President Jefferson
in his palniest days never lived more
simply; more unostentatiously than do
they. When they came to Albany the
first of January the governors house
was known the Executive Mansion
now. because the Suffers wish it so, it
is called the Peoples House, That's
just like the Suffers.
When the governor was inaugurated, he
preferred walking to the state house to
getting there with the assistance of an
automobile or a coach-and-four- And so
Mrs. Sulzer, instead of spending all her
time entertaining and shopping, spends
some time each day in the kitchen, MAX
ing favorite dishes for her husband and
experimenting affairs. And she visits the
grocery and the meat-marEet just as she
did when Mr. Sulzer was a struggling
young lawyer in New York city
You see, l have always done my own
marketing explains Mrs. Sulzer. Il do
it here, although some people pretend 10

nomically and well unless she goes to
market herself / know that you wouldn' t
hear half so much about the high cost of
living if all the women did their own
marketing.
Mrs. Sulzer is above all else home wo-
man. Her husband is everything to her,
and she sees to it his home is attrac-
tive as she can make it. Although the
house is enormous in size, every nook
and corner shows the personal touch of
the good housewife. The governor gives
her a free hand to do she pleases in
her own home. She certainly does well.
Mrs Sulzer is as charming in looks as
she is in manner. and that is saying a
great deal. She is fairly tall, about five
feet seven inches; but she holds herself
very erect and looks taller than she is.
She has golden hair which grows without
a curl. and her eyes of a soft blue
OF somewhat slender build, she weighs
about one hundred and forty pounds, and,
although very active is graceful to de-
gree. Everything about her bespeaks the
plain. unobtrusive, well-groomed Ameri-
woman of moderate means full of
dignity and quiet simplicity.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES.

(By Mrs. Alice GltcheH hlrR.)
For if mother is ill there is no
money to hire cooks and very poor
food follows if there is no one to take
mothers place. If there are others
in the family, father. and brothers, or
both. who are capable of earning the
living then the daughter can, and
should, be trained in every detail OF
cooking and housekeeping. My close
observation of the shop girl has been,
that when she marries, she admits her
absolute Ignorance of cooking and
housekeeping and again follow the eX-
periments of learning at the expense
of a poor mans salary. Some of the
present day problems might be partly
solved, if this wife knew how to pur-
chase % cents worth of nutritious
food and then knew how to cook it so
the family may receive % cents
worth of food value.
The middle class girl is in the worst
condition of all. For she must be edu-
Gated, and the school which Mary at

she has at home until bedtime dur

went to school to the oldest son, who
was employed in a large store in the
city. One helped mother get the break

of the young men of the family told me
of this, as though they We're having the

RIGHT
In December I wrote something about
| the gas stove Read this over and with
suggestions it will be easy to know how
| to light the gas and learn economy in
keeping the burners turned low. But
there are many children who do not
have gas, or go camping in the sum-
ner, where they would like to know
| how to build a real fire from wood or
coal, SO our first lesson will be on
building fire:
First-Remove all the ashes from the
stove. Open the hampers to let in the
air and carry off the smoke.
| Second-Use plenty of newspa pers or
shavings.
Third-Place corncobs or dry kindling
on the paper first. crossing the sticks
so that the air may help the flame.
Fourth-Put on the coarser kindling
or firewood and Il little coal if it is to
. be coal fire, or larger sticks of wood
if a wood fire.
Fifth-Light the paper from below so
that the flames may go up.
Sixth--Add more wood or coal when
the fire is nicely started and close the
damper
Seventh-Never pile on wood or coal
until the covers are raised from the
stove. nor let it become red hot.
Eighth-A stove is more easily kept
clean and adds much to the brightness
aluminium 1t is used on stoves in
! etc.
Ninth-Bc careful in the use of
! matches, not to strike them on the wall
or woodwork, but on the box piece
of sandpaper. and have a tin box in
which to drop burnt ends.
Tenth-No matter what fuel is used
! for cooking learn the first thing how
much fuel and heat is necessary for the
different foods cooked. If you will fol-

Things Worth Knowing.

In doing up curtains the sisters will
find this a great help: For fine cur
tains. such as bobbinet scrim or lace
I buy narrow tape and sew all around
curtain; saves edges, holds them in
shape and curtains will not sag
For raising bread sponSe-Set sponge
in pan in cane-seated chair over floor
register. If too warm. turn register
half off. Sponge will not chill and is
ready TO work out first thing in morn
ing.
Children and matches-We read of so
many children getting burned with
matches. 1 have often seen little chill
dren playing with them on the street
1t is no wonder they get burned. They
don't know the danger of the match.
My suggestion is to keep matches in
closed tin baking powder can and don't
let the children know where you keep
it, They often take some and go out
with them and you don't miss them un-
less they take them all. Also, rats often
gnaw at matches and thereby set the
house afire- Kept in covered tin. there
is no danger of fire and if the children
can't find them they won't get burned.
