been thrown out of employment. She
Immediately established an employment
bureau at the Nacat ton Savings Fund
headquarters at 50 East Thirty-eighth
street. New York, and kept the telephone
wires busy informing employers all over
the city that the bureau was open, and
that it was incumbent on them to send
there for recommended girls for various
positions. So persuasive and insistent
was she that in the first week the bu-
reau placed fifty girls and received ap-
plicatiOns steadily thereafter. For tenn
porary relief Miss Smith opened Il work
room for making Red Cross garments
and supplies where any otherwise unem-
plOyed girls might work. receiving 80
cents a day. These new developments
also illustrate the adaptability of the
Vacation Savings Fund. This organiza-
ton was started by Miss Smith four
years ago and has been developed by
her in cooperation with Mrs. Charles II.
Isreals. Miss Anne Morgan, Mrs. Roger
Bacon. and others, under the auspices
of the American Civic Federation.
Branches of the fund have been estab-
lished-always with the approval and CO.
operation of emplOyers-in lis of the larg-
est stores. factories, and Offices in New
York. and others are being organized in
Philadelphia, Washington, Worcester,
and Chicago. Last summer there were
on the rolls of the fund the names of
1900 girls with savings of nearly Sl4s. 900

How Edward Everett Prepared for
Public Speaking.
Written ETTeSly for The Washington Herald.
by DIR. L. J. EDWARDS,

lNTllNfn EAIFe<ly Tor lle washington HERALD
by DIR. f. }. EDWARDS.
At a time when Senator Chauncey
NJ Depew was describing to me some
of the great American orators whom
he had seen aRd heard and also two
or three of those who were esteemed
masters OF public speech in England,
asked him if he was familiar with
what Emerson had said of Edward
Everett. The Senator asked me if
could repeat Offhand what Emerson
had said, but l could not do that. I
could only paraphrase Emerson's
words. He had said OF Everett that
1t seemed to him that the latter in
many respects was the most Consum-
mate orator America had produced.
And he did not even except Daniel
Webster, for while Webster always
spoke as though his audience were en-
rhetoric and language which he pos
sessed and also were justified in ex-
pecting that he would clothe in
rhetoric and language n profound
thought. nevertheless Webster lacked
the highest art of public speaker.
told Senator Depew that Emerson had
said that Demosthenes had been i'm
properly translated when he was quot
ed as having said that the art of pub
lie speaking consisted in action,
action, and then again action" but
that what Demosthenes really said
was II consisted in acting. acting, and
Edward Everett was the master in the
United States, in Emerson's opinion.
Il am very glad that you have told
me this" Senator Depew said. Il al
ready knew that Emerson had a very
high regard for Edward Everett and
that he took great pleasure in attend
ing the ceremonies of the Inaugural
ton of Everett as president of Har-
ward. He regretted that Webster
should have appeared on that occa-
sion and thereby should have detracted
from the interest which Everett other
wise would have maintained.
Il am in perfect agreement with
what you tell me Emerson says of
Everett. In my opinion, he was the
most artistic of all the American ora
tors. Certainly he was the most artIs-
tic of all whom I have heard. He had
so thoroughly mastered his business
In public speaking that he seemed to
all his hearers to be speaking natural
ly and quietly to them. In that way
each hearer was possessed with the
idea that Everett was addressing him
personally. Yet Edward Everett placed
himself in a looking glass whenever
he rehearsed a public speech he was
to make studying every expression
Of the face, every position of the body
and every gesture. He did exactly
what an actor does who is making
up his face so that he could see II
the expression of his face took on the
appearance OF setting forth the
thought which he uttered. In that
way, too, he studied his gestures, with

actor ever worked more diligently at
his part to extract every opportunity
that lay in II than did Everett when
preparing one of his oratIons."

Inherited Consciences.

CousCiences have gone out of style.
With fainting and small appetites and
many other Victorian virtues and habits
consciences have gone. II we asked the
ordinary child if his conscience pricked,
he would think we were referring to
some elaboratcly named pin.
Yet most of us have consciences When
We act honestly. It is usually through
some quick instinCt-what used to b..
called conscience-not through any con-
sciousy reasoned-out decision.
When you use one of the coin-in-the-
slot telephones and the operator forgets
TO ask for your coin. why do you take
off the receiver again and remind her
OF her remissness: Not because you rea-
son that it would be dishonorable 10
keep the cents your call costs. You
don't reason; YOU act instinctively.
When the cashier at restaurant
pushes Is cents too much toward a man
With the change from his lunch bill he
returns it instinctiv ely-his conscience
pricks him.
When you start to answer a request
for donations to somebody's pet scheme
for relieving Europe's distress. why
don't you write that you can afford no
more gifts? You start to write the
words But your conscience feels un-
comfortable and you inclose instead a
small check and decide to economic on
your next frock. It isn't that you feel
that those words Of excuse would be a
lie 1t is just that your conscience is
troublesome.
Consciences are out of style. Yet We
all have them. and most of them are in
good working order in Snite Of their lack
OF fashion.

February 1l-Eizabeth of York.

Elizabeth of York. whose husband
was Henry VII. King of England, was
born February IL. 1855. She was the
mother of the many-wived Henry
VIII, and she died when she was
thirty eight after the birth of her
last child, Catherine. Elizabeth is de-
scribed as tall and fair with long
golden hair and the contemporaries
seem to agree in ascribing to her con-
siderable beauty. There is not the
slightest. doubt of her goodness and
gentleness, and whatever Henry Wits
faults may have been certainly he de-
rived very few of them from his
mother. Elizabeth of York.
Lydia Maria Child, who was born
113 years ago today. has the distinc-
tion of having been the originator of
modern Juvenile literature. Early in
her life she espoused the cause of
abolition and, as 4 result. endured
social and literary ostracism for
many years.
Il never work on the winning side"
Mrs. Child once said, because | know
there will always be plenty to do such
work" For many years she devoted
her entire energies to the cause of
abolition and endured much poverty
and privatiou as result.
Lady Flora Hastings was born four
years after Lydia Maria Child. She
was one of the ladies-in- waiting in
the household of Queen Victoria, but
because of false accusations, which
were later proved to be utterly
groundless, she was brought to an
early grave and died when she was
but thirty three. The scandal of Lady
Flora Hastings and the subsequent in
vestigations clearing Lady Flora's
name constitute one of tine saddest
chapters in the records OF the per-
sonal history of Queen Victoria.

SAVORY SAUCES.

Nothing so adds to the taste of a
rather tasteless meat or vegetable dish
as does a savory sauce of some kind.
HorSeradish sauce makes even plain
boiled beef tempting. Boiled rice, with
tomato savory sauce. becomes dish
fit for an epicure. Cheese sauce con-
verts a tasteless Caulifiower into a It'd
bit that one remembers for a week.
Here are some recipes for easily
made savOry sauces:
Celery sauce;
This is to be used with leftover
chicken. veal or lamb, which can be
cut in dice and heated in the sauce.
To make it. minCe celery enough to
measure half a CUpful. and add it 10
Cupful OF white sauce.
SavOry Tomato Sauce.
Steep a minced onion. a sprig or two
of parsley, two cloves, a bay leaf and
two or three peppercorns in the con-
tents of half can of tomatoes for
fifteen minutes. Then strain. season
with salt and more pepper if neces-
sary, and thicken with butter and
flour rolled together. Or else thiCken
before straining. This sauce is deli
cious with macaroni or rice. or with
chops or fish cakes.
Horseradish Sauce.
Squeeze horseradish dry of the vim
egar in which it has soaked in = clean
bit of muslin and add four tablespoon
fuls of it to a CupfuI of drawn but
ter or white sauce, or to a cupful OF
thickened meat gravy. This is to be
served with boiled beef or with warm
ed over beef of any sort.
Caper Sauce.
For use with lamb and mutton and
fish. Add a quarter of a cupful Of
capers. well drained, TO a cupful OF
white or drawn butter sauce.
Sauce Tartare.
Chop olives, cucumbers, pickles and
parsley, and add about a teaspoonful
of each, with the same amount of
drained capers to half a cupful of
mayonnaise. This sauce is used with
fish.
Egg Sauce.
Use this with fsh-fresh boiled fish.
with warmed canned salmon, or with
any picked-up. leftover fish. Add two
eggs, hard boiled and chopped very
fine. to a CupfuI or more of white
sauce. rather thin, well seasoned with
salt, pepper and celery salt.
Cheese sauce

Woman's Health

Women are so constituted as
to be peculiarly susceptible to
constipation, and their general
health depends in large measure
on careful regulation and cor
rection OF this tendency. Their
delicate organisms rebel at the
violence of cathartic and purga-
tive remedies. which, while they
may afford temporary relief,
shock the system and seriously
disturb the functional organs. 4
mild laxative is far preferable.

POTOMAC HAS WATER POWER.
But Variability of Flow Is DIsad-
vantage, Says Geological survey.

The Potomac River. as well as other
small rivers of the East, possesses great
resources for water power that have

are numerous water power sites along
the Potomac. and mentions Great Falls
as one of the best
The principal disadvantage of the Po-

the report, is the unusual variability Of
its flow.
