ConsuIs Havo Troubles.

The stranded American is the bane of the consul. His office is invaded by persons claiming his good offices after their plans have gone askew. Those in better circumstances d,mand that the consul indorse their notes at the bank, those in poorer circumstances demand to be sent home. It is aNpar- srtly fixed idea that a consul can draw on the treasury for the relief of stranded Americans. Many cases of d1a.yess are pitiable and consuls. not even .scouped against the social ex- penses accidental to their position. have to g,v~ relief out of their prl- vate means ard to stand the inev- table loss. The caly persons whom consuls are authorized by law to aid are sailors on the articles of a vessel of American registry wrecked within their consular districts, and in this case only to the extent of immediate relief and passage to the next Amer lean port.

Difference of Opinion

Some one has truthfully said that "a difference of opinion is what makes aoite race..''. :. $
 Tn fact it makes more than horse race. It also makes war and a host of other things. There is one thing that there should be no difference of opinion about. That is that you should have sbank account and that our bank is the best bank in which to have that account. We can prove to you anytime that there is no req son for a difference of opinion on this matter. Come in and let's talk it over. AMA 4 skHsB

FOR HOW MUCH DO APPEAR
ANCES COUNT?

Out in Topeka, Kans, the Civil
Service Commission made an inter-
esting rating of the business quail
hcations of women employees. And
in this listing 80 per cent was given
to appearances, so per cent to ability
and only 20 per cent to experience.
1t looks rather discouraging at
first, and decidedly unfair. The
thought that the girl without good
looks would be handicapped to the
extent of 80 per cent would seem
to ;ldicate a rather shallow mental
capacity of the employers in To
peka, or, if the conclusion is typical
of sentiment all over the country,
then to men employers in general.
Why should mere good looks indi-
cate so much, you are inclined to ask
with indignation? Should a girl, just
because she is fair of face and comely
of figure be given such great pree-

COFFEE AND TEA.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

Coffee and tea are easy to make. They
are not worth drinking II they are not
well made. And yet In six houses out
of eight they are not well made--not
worth drinking.
The coffee Is murky and stale in taste.
The tea is bitter and heavy.
For both tea and coffee fresh. clear
water must be used. For tea IL must be
absolutely boiling, and IL should boil
for a minute or two before pouring II on
the leaves. For both tea and coffee.
too. absolutely clean reeeptacies must
be used, but their nature matters little.
To be sure. china or pottery teapot
Is much better than a metal one. but a
delicious cup OF tea can be brewed
from leaves wrapped In a bit OF cheese
cloth and simply plunged into the boiling
water In the cup for two minutes. Clean
illness. however. Is essential
There Is only one correct way Of max
ing ten-that is pouring bubbling. boil
ing water on the dry leaves. and pouring
OF the tea from the leaves in two or
three minutes
But there are many ways of making
good coffee. One Is to mix the coffee
grounds with a little egg white. and
enough cold water 10 molsten them. Then
pour half the amount of water to be
used, boiling hard. over the grounds.
Place over a low heat and let 1t come
to the boil. Fill up with the remainder
Of the boiling water. draw to a lower
heat, and allow 1t to stand for three
or four minutes.
Some persons make coffee by pouring
cold water on the grounds, mixed with
egg and a little water. and letting this
slowly come to a boil Still others never
put the coffee pot over the direct heat.
but stand II in a pan Of boiling water
until II Is sufficiently strong. A good
way to keep coffee hot, and at the same
time fresh tasting. Is to pour it on
from the grounds when IL is made. into
fresh pot or pan, and to place this in
pan of boiling water.
Then there are the various drip and
percolator methods. in which the water
drips through the grounds and no egg is
used. Some persons really prefer the
egg taste to coffee. but drip and perco-
lator coffee Is easier to make, and gives
surer results to the inexperienced cook

The satin is made up with tucks ana

little black stitching adds smartness

MISS MILLER and
DE GOGORzA SCORE
First Of T. Arthur Smiths Series of
Concerts Given at National
Theater.

The first OF T. Arthur smiths Ten
Star series of concerts which are to be
given through the coming season en-
tertained an appreciative audience at
the National Theater yesterday after
noon, the stars being Miss Christin.
Miller and Mr.. Emilio de Gogorza- The
program was light but interesting.
Mr.. Gosorza sang three short sones
by the Spanish composer. Enrique
Granados: All muerte cruel" lie
aquella Maja amante" and FL ira, la, la,
y Ell punteado." The first song OF the
three Is a little formless and the LAST
scarcely more than a pun of song but
DE aquella" Is a gem. Mr.. de Gogorza
who was in excellent voice made most
OF the number
Miss Miller followed with five songs,
two, "Kernst du das Land and "Dank
des Paria," by Hugo Wolf: Brahms de-
lightful Der Schmisd." "Fruhling." by
Won Ross and Itch glaub.' IIeber schatz."
by Max Roger. In Der Schmied." which
was loudly encored, and still more IN
Itch Glaub'" Miss Miller had an ao-
mirable opportunity of winning her
audience and lost no time in doing SO.
There followed the most interesting part
Of the program-four French songs, two
by Debussy-the strange and wonderful
'Chevaux de Bots" and the beautiful
''Voicl que lie Printemps." and two by
less known composers, LIED Maritime"
by Vincent d'Indy and Lever d'aube, 50
by Guy Ropartz.
Next to DE aquella Maja amante''
''voici lie Printemps" was the most at
tractive number on Mr.. Gogorza's
share of the program. The audience

Mr.. de Gogorzai responded with an en-
core. Miss Miller followed him with
five songs In English, the old MY
Love. She's But a Lassie Yet" IL
Came with a Song" The Street Or
gan" by Siebella; the Song of the
Persian Captive" and the very beau
tifuI The Bird of the Wilderness -
by Edward Horsman.
As an encore Miss Miller sang most
charmingly a little song written and
composed by the two gifted colored
Coleridge-Taylor. The concluding
number of the program consisted OF
five songs. also in English. by Mr.. de
GogorZa. OF these the first, The
Cock Shall Crow" by J. Alden Car
penter. was charming, while the sec
ond. Wind Song" by J: II. Rogers.
seemed rather commonplace, though
thanks to the exquisite way In which
It was sung the audience demanded
and received an encore.
The Fiddler OF Dooney," the third
number. represents a striving after
effect that cannot be said to effect
anything. Sidney Homer's setting
cannot compare with Curry's inter
probation of Yeats naive little poem.
The fourth number, why So Wan and
PaIe?" by Cyril Scott. IL a little con
ceit" somewhat in the EliZabethan
manner and lends itself admirably 10
Mr.. de Gogorza's vivacious manner.
The last number on the program
was Cigars oft heard and much ap-
preciated Pipes OF Pan" which the
singer made the most OF II. Alto
gether IL was an interesting program
albeit II cannot be said that either
Mr.. de GogorZa or Miss Miller were
required to exert themselves at any
part OF IL.
