Continued from Last Sunday.

A FTER we had become friendly
~ with the family across the
way and had visited the in
valid woman we named her room
The Abode Of the Princess. Every
comfort which love and thought
could procure without much expendi-
ture-alas! there was little money
to use-was there. The walls were
of q soft cafe.au-lait color, while mus
lin curtains of the same delicate tint
draped the windows. They told me
the secret of those curtains. White
ones had been dipped in water which
had been colored with coffee until
the desired shade had been obtained.
The hard-pine floor, which had
been stained and waxed, had soft
toned rugs small enough to be easily
and often taken out into the sun and
air. There were few pictures on the
walls and no ornaments anywhere
The room gave one sense OF rest
fulness as soon as one entered 1t.
There was a wicker chair In
sunny window, but near AZ hand
light screen with bamboo frame
stood ready 10 be pulled into place
to shelter the invalid from breeze
or sun. There were few tiny pill
lows which when needed could be
tucked behind q tired back, and
there was footstool in front OF the
chair.

rack, such as one sees In a nursery,
stood on casters within easy reach:
On this were arranged the wraps OF
the invalid; soft woolly thing 10

One day as the tray for the invalid
was being carried by l caught the
aroma of oysters. oysters in shells
had been used. These had been
washed and scrubbed, then placed
on rock salt in tin pan, so that the
shells would not tip. They were
then placed in a hot oven and baked
till the shells opened The fat side
Of the shell was removed, leaving the
oysters in the deeper half. These
were arranged on a napkin in n soup
plate, and each oyster was dressed
with melted butter, to which had
been added few drops OF lemon
juice, salt and paprilIa.
Three fresh, tempting mushrooms
which the youngest member OF my
family discovered in the pasture
were sauted in butter three minutes,
then covered with hot cream and
served around an egg timbale. This
was made by melting one teaspoon
OF butter TO which was added one
teaspoon of -four and, when smooth,
one-fourth cup OF scalded milk
When this sauce was cold the yolk
of one egg was added and the mix

Charge Manufacture of Sentiment

Both sides are charging the other with trying to manufacture sentiment for and against repeal. In all events it is quite evident that the country has not vet aroused itself on the subject and frantic appeals for public expression sent out from Washington do not seem to get much response Senator Gore and Thomas J. Pence. of the democratic national con- mittee attempted a poll of the delegates at Baltimore. and from about half of the delegates have been heard from, and Of those heard from so per cent or more are for repeal. The opponents of repeal explain this by saying that most of the delegates at the Baltimore convention either want job or have a friend who wants one, and they don't care enough about the tolls proposition to line up against the administration and run the risk of losing something more tangible.
 The first expression from the people fav- bring repeal of any consequence came to the White House Tuesday last in the form of a batch of teegrams chiefly from the middle west, and q few from Pennsyl- Vania. As every one of them displayed by MT. Tumulty to the newspaper men bore the date of April 13-Wilson's lucky num- ber-and they seem to have come for the most part from a few towns in the west. such as Chicago, Peoria, Milwaukee and Detroit. it looked very much like some one had been working up this voluntary expression of approval from the people. Thomas J. Pence. who came into the White House offices while the telegrams were being examined by the newspaper men, was jolIingy accused of being the guilty party, but he denied it. There are 27 telegrams from Pekin. H., Tom" said one of the reporters, and you told me that you paid for 40 you had better inves- tigate"

SENATE VOTE ON TOLL REPEAL CLOSE Change of Five Votes Would
 Defeat President LODGE HURT THE CASE Arguments Used in Support of the President Have Really Been Used
 to Advantage by the
 Other Side
LODGE HURT THE CASE
By C. E. STEWART.

Washington, April 1s.-(Special)-The President will probably win in his tolls fight in the Senate. A careful poll of the Senate through the combined efforts ot
 newspaper correspondents, and check
 ing and rechecking of all figures and data
 obtained, discloses the fact that the Pres-
 ident now has majority of seven for the repeal of tolls, and he will have one ad-
 ditionaI vote in the person of Senator ; Frank z. White of Alabama, who VIII take his seat early in May, and in time
 to vote on the question With Senator White added to those who are with the administration the President will have majority of eight. This is very close and a change of five votes will defeat repeal.
 Ii is admitted by the supporters of re-
 peal in the Senate that the situation IS
 very uncertain. When the fight began in earnest in the Senate, after the House
 had passed the Sims bill, the administra- ton claimed a majority of Is. with quite H number uncertain and with inclinations for repeal That repeal has lost ground in the Senate since it passed the House is admitted. But it is believed that the ] issue is now fairly down to rock bottom
 and that practically every senator has a i fixed purpose IS to how he will vote, and
 a fixed opinion on the subject, which the
 debate and further arguments cannot
