WHITE HOUSE LADIES.
They Weld Considerable Power, az q
Rule, "under the Rose"

Only those who have given the SUBJ
ject close consideration and have been
familiar with it personally can have
even Il remote idea of the power of the
women connected with the presidential
administration. meaning the wives of
the president. the vice president and
the cabinet officers. This power Of the
women first began to be marked In
President Andrew Jackson's time, and
il has continued almost undated up to
the present hour. 1t is an unseen
power. 1t is not proclaimed from the
houSetOps.
1t takes some time for the wives Of
the cabinet officers to reach Il fair foot
ing with the wives of the president
and vice president and among them
selves. They come from different Sec
lions of the country and must accus-
tom themselves to a vastly different
environment, the official life of WASH
ington. In Il thousand little ways and
in as many big ways they can make or
mar. help or hurt, hasten or retard the
policy of a presidential administration.
They raised old hob in Jackson's
time by attempting to boycott the wife;
OF Il cabinet officer. Mrs. Eaton, but
Old Hickory, though not a ladies' man
himself. stood valiantly and gallantly
beside Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton and de-
clured that the wives of his other cabi-
net officers shouldn't rule his adminis-

AGE OF BOY SCOUTS.

One of the MISUNDERSTANDING about
the boy scout movement is hat it is
open only to boys between the ages of
twelve and eighteen. Twelve years
is the minimum age, but eighteen is
not the maximum. There is nc max
imum age at which a boy ceases to be
a scout. We have scores of men reg
istered as scouts who are eighteen,
nineteen, twenty and even twenty
one years of age.
1t is from the ranks of these older
boys that our assistant scoutmasters
are largely recruited. Within a few
years they will develop into a splen-
did group of trained scoutmasters.
Once a scout, always a scout

BOX BEAN BAG.
In This Game You Need Some Old En-.
veIopes and Heavy Buttons.

some very stormy day when you do
go to school hunt up a large, square
hathoX and make Il game to play. 1t
takes almost no time to make the
game, and any number of children NAV
use it. You will need some old envel-
opes and some large, heavy buttons.
Each player should have five old en-
velopes. To make the game first turn
he hat box over. Cut a hole in the top
about six inches square.
Next find the button bag and put two
heavy buttons in each envelope. Seal
the envelopes firmly with paste. Each
player writes upon his five envelopes
his name. He numbers each envelope
OF his series-1, ., 3, 4 and ).
TO play the game stand six feet away
from the box that has the hole cut in
its top. Try to toss an envelope into
the hole. Begin with envelope No. l
and go on up to envelope No. 5. Leave
all envelopes rs they fall. A players
score is determined after he has tossed
his tive envelopes in series. 1t is the
sum of all envelopes that he has been
able to toss into the box.
All play is made in turn. and all or
der of play is arrived at by counting
out for the start.
The first player to make u score Of 80
wins the game.

half cupfuls of flour. n heaping tea
spoonful of baking powder and one tea
spoonful Of salt. Sift these ingredients
together. Rub two-thirds cupful of
lard into the flour and mix with enough
cold water to make a dough which can
lie easily handled. Divide the dough
in six parts and roll each part out
large enough to hold the apples. When
the dough is rolled put the apples in
the center and fold the dough over it,
pinching the ends together. Bake in

ROAST TURKEY.
Directions For Preparing the Season.

able Bird, Home Style.
A ten pound turkey is a good size
for any but the smallest family. Burn
off the hairs and use a brush for wash
ing outside. Wash inside with cold
sailed water. Stuff, truss and place
on it's side on a rack in the baking
pan after rubbing entire surface with
salt and black pepper; also u
breast, wings and legs with a little
butter mixed in flour, the two blended
together until creamy. Dredge bot
tom of pan with a little flour, adding
half a cupful of cold water to this.
Put in hot oven, and when flour on the
surface begins to brown reduce heat,
basting every fifteen minutes with fat
in pan If this cooks away add boil
ing water as needed. During the
cooking turn the turkey SO it may
brown evenly. If it cooks too fast
cover with buttered paper to prevent
scorching of the skin. 1t must be
basted frequently and thoroughly to
be juicy. Remove the string and
skewers before serving and garnish
with celery tips and rings and disks
of carrots, boiled and strung on a fine
wire.
A plain filling is made with dry
stale breadcrumbs mixed with a table,
spoonful of minced onion, the same of
butter, and salt and black pepper to
taste. Drop the butter in tiny nuts
through the filling, letting the two
blend as they will. This produces a
dry" filling.
