SANDWICHES THAT ARE FINE
With q Little Preparation They May
Be Made Choice MorseIs Fit for
Any Afternoon Tea.

An ingenious woman who prides her.
self on her sandwiches bakes the
bread In round tin cans from which
she has removed vegetables. When
me wants an especially small and
dainty sandwich she uses large-sized
baking powder cans. The slices
from the round loaves make dainty
sandwiches.
To make perfumed butter sand
Wiches, both the bread and butter must
be scented. The butter pats, wrapped
In thin cheesecloth, or the thinnest
OF cotton, are put in a china bowl
lined with blossoms Of flowers. More
blossoms are then heaped over the
butter. Then the cover is put on Sc
.curely, that 1t may be alright, and the
bowl is put in cool place. The loaves
Of bread are also treated In the same
fashion.
Take crisp new potatoes, slice even
ly, and spread over them finely minced
celery and mayonnaise dressing Place
this mixture between triangles Of
homemade bread.
Prepare French dressing and dip
Into 1t slices Of cucumber peeled. Lay
these between slices Of thin white
bread, buttered. Prepare these sand
witches only a short while before they
are to be eaten or they will become
soggy.
A sweet pepper sandwich Is deli
e cate bit to serve for luncheon. and is
made BY spreading between slices Of
bread filling made Of peppers and
NeuChatel or cream cheese. Chop
the peppers very fine and mix them
with cheese and a few drops Of olive
oil or with little rich sweet cream.
Use in the proportion of one-third pep
per to two-thirds cheese.
Use thin slices of wheat bread, but
tered, cut in heart shape. Between
each two slices place a layer Of Neuf-
chatel cheese mixed to a paste with
equal quantities of cream and salad
dressing, and cover with chopped
olives.
Take the leftover bit of potato salad,
, add to it some minced cold boiled
ham and spread it beween slices of
buttered bread.
Lettuce with layer of horseradish
on either side and placed on we'll but
tered bread makes an excellent sand
witch.

Linen Closet.

Linen stored in a closet warm and
poorly ventilated will become yellow
and will crack earlier than If stored
otherwise. The properly constructed
linen closet should be in a cool, dry
place. Each shelf should be covered
with linen slips fastened up with draw
ing pins. Have the linen slips broad
enough to fold back and cover the
contents Of the shelves. Old sheets
may be used for this purpose.

THE POLO GAMES.

The polo games which were
played at the ball park Friday,
Sunday and Monday afternoons
drew large crowds from all over
this section of the state, and while
the base ball association had to
put up a good, stiff guarantee for
the attraction, yet they cleared
a little money on the venture.
The match Friday afternoon was
won by the American team, but
on Sunday and Monday the Brit
iSherS took down the big end of
the score. But that part of the
game did not interest the Specta-
tors to any great extent. The
game is just little too exciting
for the average person to pay any
attention to which side gets the
big score, yet the main thing is TO
keep your eyes wide open to see
just how close the players come
to breaking their necks without
actually doing so. 1t is an excit-
ing sport, but the editor prefers
the peaceful pursuit of the fes-
tive news item as a means of liv-
lihoOd. 1t may moi be so remu-
nerative. but it is fully as excit-
ing at times, and is almost as dan
gerOuS when an irate subscriber
comes in and wants TO whip the
editor.

Sewing Hint.

Try sewing paper on the back Of
goods that you are to put tatted or
other insertions in; it viii help to
keep the fabric even, and neither In
sertion nor goods viii stretch while
sewing or when Numbered.

When Packing Linen.

When putting linen articles away
for any length Of time. to prevent
them turning yellow, rinse until all
the starch is removed, then dry and
fold them away in blue paper. This
also prevents the linen from cracking.

Wonders.

Beat one egg, a little salt and
enough flour to make stin. Roll out
very thin, cut with biscuit cutter
and fry in hot fat one minute. Serve
with strip, cream and jelly, or a deli
cate pudding sauce.

MISS WILSON MAY TAKE
CHARGE OF WHITE HOUSE
Friends Fear President May Over
work Himself in Keeping
Mind Occupied.

Although little is definitely known about
the plans of President Wilson and ms
family after their return from the inter-
ment of Mrs. Wilson. the understanding
is that Miss Margaret Wilson. the re
manning single daughter of the President.
will assume charge of the White House
for her father and give up most of her
business and other engagements, that
she may be with and near him all the
time Suggestions have been made that
Mrs. McAdoo or Mrs. Sayre may return
to the White House to take charge there,
but it is said to be likely that the Presl-
dent will prefer that they not give up
their own homes Miss Margaret Wilson
some time ago made engagements for
considerable work for western maea-
zine. and she had made other plans some
distance ahead believing that her mother
would recover. The knowledge of the
fatal illness of the mother. which she
ascertained only a short time before Mrs.
Wilson's death. was a great shock TO
her.
Cabinet and other intimate friends of
the President fear he will plunge into the
hardest sort of work on his return here
that he may keep his mind occupied all
the time and that unless he is checked.
he will suffer breakdown. They expect
to try to prevent this as far as possible.
President Sound in Body.
Many wild stories have from time. to
time obtained circulation as to the Presl-
dents health. He has been represented
as having a number of diseases. The alb
solutely known truth is that he is
sound man. with a tendency to catch
colds and a torpid liver that bothers
him at intervals, especially when he is
not taking exercise. He is not robust
man. according to those who know him
bes., but he has no organic disease and
the worst to be feared. as initimated by
his friends. is that the great sorrow that
has been visited upon him. together with
the work he will undertake. may bring
breakdown to recover from which Wouio
take many months.
The loneliness of the White House with
out his wife will be constant and
somber reminder to him of his loss, and
to divert his mind to other channels will,
many fear. be a most difficult under
taking. The Presidents deep knowledge
of psychology and the strange workings
of the human mind. however. is depend
ed upon to enable him to fight against
what would mean a breakdown in his
health if he permitted himself to lapse
into what he has termed a state of
mind,'' as applied to other spheres of
life.
The special train from the south is ex-
pected to reach Washington about ,
