PREPARE FOR WEDDING.
President Wilson and Mrs. Galt Max
 ing Preliminary Arrangement.

Washington, Oct. f1.-President Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait, his fiancee, today began making prelim- mary arrangements for their wedding. The President and Mrs. Gait are not discussing their detailed plans even with their immediate friends and relatives.
 A wedding trip is considered, but the place has not been revealed and may be kept secret for a time. The presidential yacht Mayfower may be used. Reports that the couple might go to the San Diego or San Francisco Exposition apparently were dispelled today, when the President, replying to an invitation from school children in San Diego asking him to visit the exposition, wrote that he sees no possibility of visiting the Pacific coast at present.

Golf in the Old Days

Centuries back golf was pastime
of the royal family, though then usu-
ally played in Scotland. The Stuart
family was very fond of the game, and
the first English cluJ was established
at Blackheath in 1908 by James |. His
eldest son, Henry, frequently played
and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with a club, where
upon he coolly remarked, "Had | done
SO l had but paid my debts. y Charles
|. was playing golf when he received
the news of the Irish rebellion. James
duke of York, afterward James ii, was
another ardent player. Golf is frequent
ly mentioned in ancient Scottish rec
ords and in the fifteenth century was
prohibited because it interfered with
the practice of archery. Strut consid
cred it the most ancient game at bal

SHE WAS A TRUE WIFE
The Story of Crisis and the Way 1t
Was Happily Handled

A woman has Just told us of what
she did the night her young husband
found himself bankrupt. His factory
was closed, he had lost all he owned
plus good deal more-and, as he
looked at it, life was about at an end
He reflected that he had taken his
wife from happy and charming home
and that he had brought disgrace and
poverty on her. 1t occurred to him
that well-placed bullet might be the
best all round solution of his diff
culties.
His wife. at home, made a poignant
surmise as TO what he was thinking
Suddenly it occurred to her that here
was chance for team work--an oppor'
tunity to show what being wife really
meant She prepared delicious little
dinner, she made her home as inviting
as she could, and she arrayed herself
in her most becoming dress.
Her husband returned, not to a
dsheveled and sobbing woman, to a
neglected house and drama OF dlsas
ter, but to home where everything
spoke of resolution, of continuity, OF
expectation. The fire on his hearth
his simple, well-cooked dinner, the
courageous ewes of his attractive wife
restored him to true sense OF values
He was able, amid all his confusion OF
purpose and torment of reallzatl' l, tc
see his failure as only retrlevaol'
episode in his life.
He is now successful manufactur
cr, his debts are paid and he has
happy home with son and daughter
in it. He was saved from being a
suicide by the fact that woman was

Just Like Ewes Apple

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Ewes teeth is one of the many
botanical curiosties of Ceylon. The
tree on which it grows is known by
the significant name of g the forbidden

blossom has a very pleasant scent, but
the really remarkable feature of the
tree, the one to which it owes its name
is the fruit 1t is beautiful and hangs
from the tree in a peculiar manner
Orange on the outside and deep crimson
within, each fruit has the appearance
of having had a piece bitten out of
it. This fact, together with is poison

represent it as the forbidden fruit of

against its noxious properties. The

Flour. baking powder, salt, shorten
ing and milk or water are the flNe SIM
ple ingredients needed to make that
nride of the American table, light, ten
der biscuits.
How is it then that so often they
come from the oven too dry, too short,
too everything they should not be? We
will not go into particulars about that
hnt consider how to have our biscuits
uniform every day.
First assemble the ingredients In the
exact proportions. Measure every
thing. This becomes habit after a
while just as it is habit to cook or
bake without measuring.
Each cup of -four should be allowed
one level teaspoon of baking powder
and one-half teaspoon of salt. The
flour must be measured before 1t Is
sifted and the baking powder and salt
must be sifted with the flour.
To each two cups of flour allow one
tablespoon of butter or lard or of a
shortening compound and half a cup
or more of liquid Water and lard
makes a whittier biscuit than milk and
butter but not so rich or so nutritious.
If the shortening and liquid is added
very cold the crust on the biscuit will
be crisp but if the milk is heated until
lust warm enough to melt the shorten
ing the crust will be very tender and
soft Your own preference must de-
eide which method You will follow.
Sift the dry ingredients into bowl
and add the shortening and the liquid,
The mixture should be quite moist.
Flour the pastry board and pat or Jll
the dough to about one inch in thick
ness. Cut out the biscuit and place in
hot creased baking tins. Bake twelve
minutes. Some ovens will bake biscuit
in seven minutes but the size of the
biscuits has something to do with the
time needed.
