The White House as Home

In Europe and other foreign coun-
tries where royalty rules the people
take a great interest in their SOW
ereigns, especially the wife of the
ruler. l once heard a patriotic, en-
thusiastic Englishman exclaim as
Queen Victoria passed over London
bridge in her state carriage on the
way to Parliament: 1.-THE Queen,
God bless heri I would die Apply
and contented If I could but touch
the EN- of 'er garment"
In democratic America we are not
so likely TO go into Mysteries if the
wife of the President happens to pass
our way Still, we have always
shown due respect for the women Of
the White House. As proof that re-
publics are not wholly ungrateful, we
have granted pensions to the widows
OF some of our Presidents, that they
might not feel the pinch of poverty
In their old age.
1t would be hard to find a more
democratic, simple-living family than
the present occupants Of the White
House. Mrs. Wilson is a type of the
educated. accomplished American
mother who loves her home and her
family more than she likes the APP
plaure of the public.
Both of Mr.. Wilson's latest prede-
cessors, Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft,

A Giant Cookie

Did you ever hear of a cookie that
was so large that 1t took eight horses
to drag it? Every boy and girl has
read in Mother Goose about the pie
with the four and twenty 'blackbirds,
but this story about a wonderful
cookie is a true one
This giant cookie was made by the
head baker of King Augustus during
the royal merrymaking which was
given by him on the banks of the Elbe
in honor of King Frederick william
The last day of the merrymaking
was to be a grand feast for the kings
and princes and ladies and all tho
great people. and for the whole army
One hundred cooks and $50 bakers
had been busy for a whole week pre-
pairing good things for this feast.
The 10000 soldiers sat down to theii
dinner first, in two long rows. Kine
Augustus and King Frederick William
came to see them enjoy their good
things; the princes and the ladies and
all the grand folks came, too.
And then a strange sight was seen
A large tent, covering sort of trs-
umphal car. drawn by eight horses,
appeared on the ground and came
slowly up to- the front of the palace,
where 1t took up its position. This
tent was surrounded by a guard of
honor. Suddenly. at sign from the
commander, the tent disappeared, and
what do you suppose came to light
from beneath its folds? The cookiei
1t was enormous. Much the largest
cake ever baked In the world 1t wac
about thirteen yards long, six yards
broad and nearly yard in thickness
The kings and oourtiers laughed q
great deal at this surprise. The head
baker was called UP and he said they
had to mix the cake by machinery
and to build an oven expressly for 1t;
that there were twelve barrels OF
-four in 1t and four hogsheads Of
yeast, and four hogsheads of milk,
and four hogsheads of butter, and
only 5000 eggsl
The kings and oourtiers wanted to
taste this strange dessert. but how
was 1t to be cut? No 1ady's hand.
such as usually cut the cake on fes-
tive occasions, could manage this
brown monster; SO carpenter was
ordered to cut 1t. He had a huge
knife, the handle resting on the
shoulder an officer in uniform stood
by and ordered him 20 cut here and
cut there. while the pieces were piled
on silver dishes for the kings and the
great people. Then came the officers
turn. Still the cake was not hal1
eaten. The 10000 soldiers were then
called on to attack it, and they soon
made an end of the most wonderful
cookie that ever was balxedl

Housewifely Hints

If you want the best pie crust it
should be made the day before you
wish to use it and put into a cold
pantry. Then the crust will be haky
and crisp. If you wish to retain the
crispiness after baking, let the pies
cool thoroughly before putting away.
A very convenient article to have in
a house is a smooth, strong stick
about 40 inches long, with a deep
notch in one end. With this pictures
may be lifted by the wires from their
hooks, cleaned and replaced, thus saw
ing the climbing UP and down on a
stepladder.
Here is a delicious novelty to serve
with afternoon tea:
Take small crisp and slightly
sailed cracker and heap on il in a lit
tie mound a mixture Of the stifhy
beaten froth of eggs, whites only, to
which has been added pulverized SUI
gar and minced orange peel and finely
chopped peanuts. Then place in a hot
oven and brown as you would

Needlework Lore

Aluminium thread is the newest
thing for crocheting handbags, and
it has the advantage of not tarnish-
ing. The effect Is soft and lustrous,
and 1t is just the thing to go with the
grays that have so important a place
in this seasons costumes.
Before washing new goods let stand
in salt and water to set the color
For killing plantain leaves or weeds
keep wetting with a strong solution
of salt and water. Rock salt or table
salt may be used. If preferred, the
salt may be sprinkled on the weeds
and then wet with a hose. Rock salt
is the better of the two for the latter
method.
Salt in the bottom of the shoes in
winter will help the circulation and
prevent the feet from getting cold.
A quarter of a teaspoonful in a
quarter of glass of water taken a
half hour before breakfast is good

The hands of fainting persons are
often rubbed with salt to help the cir
culatlon.
But of the uses of salt there seems
no end.

What a splendid ride it was, away
from the shore and out through the
country. On either side the grass

that they were alive

softly through yielding White sand.
Through a strip of piney woods they
went, and when they came out there
was the good hard road again, with
white and yellow daisies nodding
gaily in the fresh morning breeze.
Then up a soft road and down
grassy one, and there was the farm.

Dear family knew very well, came
out and waved her hand. And

to welcome them in frantic haste
Another minute and Henry cried
"Who-oa"

laughing away the tears as Rover

out and gave a hand to mother

Lace Underskirts

There are ever SO many dresses for
young girls with straight or slightly
draped tunics opening over under
skirts composed of three or four
ruffles of soft lace. These ruffles are
sometimes made of fine net edged
with a thread in some bright color
which is repeated in the sash, or used
as a narrow velvet piping for the
neck and sleeves. This edging of a
couple of strands of colored silk or
thread forms a very pretty finish for
net ruffling.-Long Branch Record.

Dorothy and Davie went to bed
very early last night. vastly ex-
cited
Davie wanted to go to sleep inn
mediately, so that morning would
come quickly. He held his eyes
tight shut and counted slowly ozone,
two-oo, thr-ree-ee, and so on. Nurse
Nellie had told him that this was
an excellent thing to do when one
couldn't sleep.
Now l must be very sleepy
Davie told himself when he had
reached fifty. But when he stopped
counting his eyes popped wide open
of their own accord.
They're wider than ever" said
Davie. And then he fell to think
ing of. the morrow and all the
pleasure it would bring. and right
in the midst of a hope that the
sun would be shining his eyelids
slid slowly down over his eyes and
locked themselves fast. Wasn't
that funny?
Dorothy stayed awake a long
time, but she didn't mind, because
the shadows that the moon cast
across the opposite wall suggested
all sorts of pleasant make-believes.
She pretended that the fairies had
come In to wish her pleasant
dreams, and that they were sing
ing fairy lullabies to help her to go
to sleep.
maybe Peter Pan himself is
there" whispered Dorothy, land
after a while he'll come and coax
me to fly out of the window, away
off to the Never Never land, like
Wendy did"
she shivered in delicious dread
at this, and pulled the covers all
about her head, hoping that Peter
would come and in the same in
slant hoping he wouldn't, until at
last she was sadly puzzled, having
no idea what she really did think.
"I'd rather dream about him,
Dorothy at last decided, st would
be rather dreadful to fly out Of the
window and up through the air.
Davie and Buster'd be lonesome.
Now, fairies, sing me to sleep.
And she lay very quietly on her
pillow drowsily pretending until
her eyes closed.
Ana | really, really think that
Peter did come to see her that
night, and fly with her to see that
wicked pirates and the crocodile;
but I cannot be positive because
Dorothy was not positive herself,
although she was sure that she'd
either pretended or dreamed it.
Sometimes l think it was one,
and sometimes l think it was the
other" she told nurse Nellie after
ward.
But to get back to the story.
The next morning there was a
wild scramble for clothes and a
wilder scramble for breakfast, Mo-
rah declared that the noise
would drive her distracted" Baby
Buster caught the note of excite
ment and proceeded to hammer
with his spoon on the tray of his
high chair until nurse Nellie
reached over and took the spoon
away.
Breakfast was finished in a jiffy.
Then wide straw hats found their
way to curly heads, and the children
rushed down the walk to where
Henry was waiting with the two
scatter In they piled, helter-
SHELTER, Davie on the front seat, Of
course, on nurse Nellies lap, and

on the back seat.

head and started

To BaniShWrinkIeSa and
FreShen Up Quickly

After a strenuous day outdoors. when
winds, heat and exhaustion have com
caused the skin to wrinkle and sag--or
after tedious or fretful day indoors
one often has urgent need for some quick
rejuvenator. Maybe there's a tango
party on for the evening, or some other
social event How in the world can one
make herself presentable, looking as she
does? It's quite easy.
Just get an ounce of powdered saxolite
and a half pint witch hazel at the nearest
drug store, mix the two and battle the
face in the solution for two or three min
utes Then look into your mirror and
behold the wonderful transformation
Wrinkles have vanished, loose, tired
muscles have been rested and 'sfirmed
up" marks of fatigue have flown, and
you look SO much brighter and younger
you can hardly believe your eyes. No
one need hesitate to try this, the witch
hazel and saxolite being SO perfectly
harmless.

THE LACE HAT
FOR GARDEN PARTIES

Hats Of shirred net, point desprit
and all-over lace are well suited for
wear with lingerie froeks, and, as the
season advances, many of them are
seen. They are trimmed with flowers
or long white plumes, the latter being
especially used in summer trosseaux.
Where the feathers are used no other
decoration is attempted, the hat being
all white and the shirred lace Is suf-
ficient decoration in itself, with a
nodding plumes, perhaps two, nod
ding over the rear elevation.

Requirements to Enter School
of Pharmacy

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you settle a question which
has caused much discussion?
A contends that a law has been
passed which makes 1t impossible
for a person who is not a two-year
high school student to enter a
school of pharmacy in the State
of New Jersey.
B claims that any person who
can pass an examination or is a
grammar school graduate is
eligible. CONSTANT READER.
There is no law in New Jersey re-
stricting the grammar school grad
uate from entering the school. The
State law requires of the student
four years experience of practical
work in pharmacy where physi-
clans prescriptions are compound
ed. The person must be twenty-one
years old.
