Sees 800 Roosevelt Delegates.
II was said yesterday by one of Col.
Roosevelt's closest friends that the for.
mer President would have at least 800
delegates In the Republican national
convention. These. he said. would be
either out and out Roosevelt men or
men who rot turn to him and stick
TO him after casting the first few bal
lots for other candidates. This observer
Of politics and worker for the Colonel
said that Col. Roosevelt could rely OH
Il majority of the men in each Of the
delegations so far pledged to Senator
Albert u. Cummins. lie also said that
the drif, toward Justice Hughes In most
instances was a boost for the Colonel.
In the past month. since the Hughes
boom took dcfinit shape, astonishing
reports have come from certain West
ern States as to the sudden decline IN
sentiment for Roosevelt. Such States
az Colorado. Missouri. Minnesota. Mich
igan. Kansas. Nebraska. Arixona. Okla
homa and others where the Colonel has
heretofore been popular are represented
as having turned from him. The Hughes
sentiment has grown apace. according
20 these reports. Col. Roosevelt's ad-
herents here say that this Is all a par,
OF the scheme to make IL impossible for
the Republican national convention to
lake any one else except Roosevelt. They
expect TO see Fairbanks. Burton. Borah
and Cummins fall by the wayside after
the first few ballots. this to be fo'iowed

WAYS TO USE LEMONS
FIVE SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE OF
REAL MERIT.
Made Into Pie, It's Tart Flavor VIII
Be Appreciated by Many-Lemon
Butter a Delcacy Highly
Considered.

Lemon PIe.-Two slices of stale
bread, two-thirds of an inch thick;
one cupful of boiling water, one cup
full Of sugar, one tablespoonful of but
ter, the juice and grated rind of one
lemon, two eggs. Dissolve the bread
In hot water; add the sugar, butter,
lemon and yolks of the eggs, we'll
beaten. Bake in a moderate oven.
When done make meringue of the
whites of the eggs and pile on top.
Brown in very slow oven.
Lemon Souffe.-One cupful Of sugar,
one tablespoonful of butter, two ta-
blespoonfuls of -four, the juice and
grated rind of one lemon, one cupful
of milk, two eggs. Cream the butter,
sugar and flour together. Add the
Juice and rind of the lemon, then the
beaten yolks and the milk. Add the
well-beaten whites last. Bake in a
pudding dish placed in large pan
half full of boiling water. This is
a most convenient pudding to make
in hurry, as it does not need a
sauce. The top is delicious souffle
and the bottom creamy sauce.
Lemon Butter-Half cupful of wa
ter, half cupful of flour, half cupful
of sugar, one egg, salt. Boil the wa
ter and add the flour mixed to a
paste. Then add the sugar, the egg
well beaten and pinch of salt. Cook
until stiff and creamy. Take off from
the stove and add four tablespoonfuls
Of lemon juice and teaspoonful OF
grated rind. Spread between slices of
bread for the children's sandwiches.
Lemon Cheese Cakes.-One heaping
tablespoonful of butter two-thirds cup
full of sugar, two eggs, one lemon.
Cream the butter and sugar, add the
yolks of the eggs, well beaten, AND the
Juice and grated rind of the lemon
and cook till thick in lemon boiler.
Bake in muffin pans, lined with pastry,
and cover the tops with meringue
made from the whites.
Lemon Cream Pie.--Half cupful OF
water, one tablespoonful of corn
starch. three tablespoonfuls of sugar,
two eggs, one lemon. Line two plates
with pastry and bake. When cold,
put together with the following: Boil
the water and add the cornstarch,
mixed with little cold water, and
the lemon Juice. Beat the yolks of
the eggs with the sugar, add pinch
Of salt and cook all together till thick.
Make a meringue of the whites and
spread over the top. Do not put to-
gether till just before it is to be
served.

NOVELTIES IN SWEET oD0RS
Smelling Salts Put Up in Variety Of
Ways That Will Appeal to
a Woman.

The woman who likes sweet odors
almost always likes smelling salts.
The newer ones are packed into
)ottles of charming shape. Some Of
them have very elaborate stoppers-
as, indeed, all the perfume bottles do,
zoo. Wide fan-shaped shoppers are
one Of the novelties.
Geranium, colored rose, is one of
The popular smelling salts odors at the
moment.
There are also very attractive
sachets covered with chiffon or very
fine net, containing an interesting
combination of flower odors. Ths
foundation for this is sweet lavender,
and there are rose and violet leaves,
and spices and oils, so that the COM
bination is something on the order
of potpourri. And of course all this
sweetness is visible through the very
sheer covering.

Of capricious ways. For instance, one
Df the Palm Beach hats Of striped
blue and white linen law is edged
with fur, and Poiret's idea Of
,ombing skunk out to make it look
ike fringe and using it for trimming
has started an entirely new develop
nent in use Of peltry.
He first brought this out on a Brit
any gown Of purple and white striped
silk and velvet, and then the milliners
.ook it up for the new straw hats.
If you want to employ some Of your
eisure time at home in arranging fur
instead of embroidering, you might try
your luck at achieving a Poiretesque
.esult with an old piece of fur and a
hick comb.

MATERIAL FOR SPRING
JERSEY CLOTH BIDS FAIR TO BE
Ess -N ACCEPTABLE.
hStl fssftfrszs.-e iT4rnvsF ffts -
Seems to Be the Required Thing as a
Substitute for Serge-Shades Of
Brown Likely to Be Re-
mH turned to Favor.

There is no doubt that women will
hike the new weayes of jersey cloth,
for they are anxiously looking for a
substitute for serge in spring suits.
Taffeta and ribbed silk have been Of
fered over and over as substitutes
for the wooden fabric, but the Anglo
Saxon woman, whether she be in Eng
land or America, feels more con-
tent with a thread of worsted in her
street suit until hot weather comes
and makes it unbearable. Even
through the dog days she likes to feel
that such coat and skirt are hang
ing in her wardrobe, ready for an
emergency.
The new jersey cloth has some
Thing of the feeling Of the sweater,
and while the larger part of its use
may be confined to life in the coun-
try and in small towns, there is good
reason to prophesy that IT will find its
way in the streets of the great
renters.
Brown is one Of the colors that
he dyers of the new jersey cloth evil
IDENTIFY like, for some very smart suits
pf it have appeared. Brown has not
been among the fashionable shades
FOR several seasons. We have quite
Ignored it, although we have given
warm slice Of cur affections to its pale
sister, beige. Probably the welcome
accorded the leather tones has sug-
gested to the dyers the introduction of
real brown. The reason, however. is
, negligible factor in the condition.
The fact remains that brown as we'll
ss gray are colors to be reckoned with
from now on.
There was so much distate on the
part Of the fastidious ones for fur
by the time the new year arrived, be-
tause of its lavish use in women's an
parel during the last six months, that
everyone thought its day was done;
