Beauty Hints for the Busy Housekeeper.

The manner Of wearing the hair during
working hours Is always a perplexing
question. The ''boudoir'' cap which has
recently sprung into popularity is boon
to women who are careful OF their morn
Ing appearance. The average housekeep-
er can beautify her little busting cap by
making II Of dotted swiss or white lawn.
adding frill OF lace and a touch of
color and running a ribbon through bead
ing where lace and lawn meet.
To the great majority of women. softly
waving hair Is very becoming. The use
Of curling tongs Is ruinous to the hair
and strongly condemn them. but by
means OF the dainty little caps mention
ed above. the hair after being carefully
brushed. can be done up on kid or
metal curriers' tthere are any number Of
different makes on the markeD and then
hidden under the little cap. which thus
serves q thrcefold purpose. woman in
curl papers need no longer be an object
Of dcrision and ridicuie to the opposite
sex. She can don her beauty cap and
vie with the s.nartest-looking woman in
the land for looks.
The busy woInan's feet must be neatly
and sensibly shod. French heels tire the
back and should under no circumstances
be worn during working hours Shoes
that are out at the toes. down ut the
heels and misshapen, are utterly ruinous
to ones carriage. II becomes impossible
to maintain the proper bodily poise which
one must have not only for beauty and
health but II the tasks OF the day are
to be done without fatigue
Doubtless II will be a matter of sur
prise to many that conditions which are
regarded as rheumatism. Iumbago. neu-
raliga and the like often arise from the
improper manner In which the body Is
carried and the strain TO which certain
muscles are put by wearing slipshod foot

Herald Forecast Selections.

As was exclusively forecast in The
Washington Herald Friday morning. Rep
resentatives Cary. of Wisconsin. and
Mapes. Of Michigan. retained from the
Sixty-third Congress on the Republican
side. and Representative Tinkham. of
Massachusetts: Focht. of Pennsylvania,
and Oakley. OF Connecticut, are among
Mr.. Mann's eight selections. Represen-
tatives barrow of Pennsylvania: Wheeler,
Of Illinois, and Gould, Of New York. COM
plete the Republican representation.
The Democrats. announced last week.
are Representatives johnson. kentucky.
chairman: Aiken. of South. Carolina
Crosser. OF Ohio: Lloyd. Of Missouri: Ha-
mill. Of New Jersey: Lobeck. of Nc
braska: Ragsdale, of South Carolina
Eagle. of Texas: Vinson. OF Georgia;
Dooling. of New York: Bailey, of Penn
sylvsnia: Wilson. OF Florida; and Hill
lard. of Colorado.
The Republican selections are re-
markable for the great proponder-
ance of members who are men of af-
fairs with experience in municipal
administration. Perhaps the only fly
in the ointment results from the
transfer of Representative Samuel E.
Winslow, of Massachusetts,. from the
District committee to the very i'm
portant committee or interstate and
foreign commerce. This change. how
ever. was expected. Mr.. winslow's
active and intelligent interest in Dis
trict affairs during the Sixty-thfrd Con-
gress made his retention on the COM
mittee particularly desirable. Repre-
sentative Keister. of Pennsylvania,

Many College Men Learn Duties Of Soldiers

j principles OF the art OF war, as our raw
volunteers have been in the habit Of
doing ever since we ceased to be a
| frontier country. when being minute
man was comparatively simple mat
ter.
No one who went to the camp placed
himself under obligation to 80 to war
or do other military service. The as
sumption of those who fathered the
undertaking was that many OF the
young men would be found ready to
act as officers OF future volunteer regi-
ments and OF the regular reserve OF the
army.
n During the period OF Instruction,
which lasted for six weeks, all the
brass button frills were cut Out and the
work was made to resemble, as nearly
an possible, the actual conditions OF
war. One hundred and sixty men at
tended, the average age being nineteen.
The war department detailed one
battalion OF infantry, one troop OF cav
airy and one company or the signal
corps to serve as instructor Of the stu
dents. A detachment OF the medical
! corps was detailed to look after the
health OF the camp and treated the Etu-
dents SO far like the regulars under their
charge that typhoid serum and small
pOA vaccine were administered WITHOUT
charge There was this difference, that
neither vaccination hor incubation was
compulsory. The majority of the
young men. however, underwent both
treatm ents. suffering. SO it was report
ed, no Ill effects except. temporary
soreness OF the arm in few cases
The work consisted primarily OF the
study OF the duties and principles OF
infantry service though the other
branches were not neglected. In the
morning there were three hours OF
drill and one hour OF lectures. given by
various officers at the camp and occa-
sfonally by such high placed military
personages as Major General Leonard
Wood. then chief OF staff. and Major
General Barry, then commanding the
department OF the east.
Some Of the lecture subjects were:
Conflict OF Infantry" Signal Corps
use and Duty OF Field Artillery"
Foreign Military Policies use of
Cavalry. BENEFITS OF Military Train
ing" Causes OF War Military His
tory" Civil War Commencing Mill
tary Training" Personal Hygiene
The Army League and THE Care OF

Afternoons were spent In bayonet
