chanced to pass an open door leading

saw q room which made mo wonder
whether 1 had not suddenly been
transported to some other house. 1t
might have been the old "settfn'

had striped wallpaper. comfortable
old rockers. a whatnot in the corner
holding shells and photographs and
useless, faded trinkets. tides and
lamp mats and "acorn" framed pie

In the sunny window, with it's

Getting Breakfast.

In the daily schedule of most house,
wives there is no time when minutes
are more precious than the time that
e1apses after the alarm clock has
sounded to the time when breakfast
is ready. steaming on the table,
Often the hurry and scurry Of this
time leaves the housewife really ex-
hausted after breakfast Is over.
Oftener she goes to bed with a feel
ing OF dread OF the break Of another
day.
The simplest way to get around
this difficulty would, Of course. be- to
rise q little earlier in the morning.
Advantage is to be gained by doing
certain tasks every night that viii
make for smoother sailing in the
saved If You set yourself a certain
system of going about these early
morning tasks. They differ so little
from day to day that they really may
be systematized. Many parts Of
housework cannot be SO systematized.
They are seldom the same. Inter
ruptions come at different times
every day. There are changes in
weather conditions, unexpected COM
pany, different tasks in cooking. All
these things tend to prevent the DOS
sibility OF establishing a system for
housework to the same extent that 1t
is possible to systematixe work In q
factory, for instance.
But the tasks before breakfast are
very much alike every day. The ta.
Bile requires the Same dishes; thers is
the .asn.lSs1 s.fn1p p1sss:s ssav X ss The
milk, and almost the same process In
cooking cereals and making other
breakfast dishes. Thus the house
wife can get the breakfast getting
worked out to a fine system SO that
she simply has to go through q GER
tain set Of muscular operations with
out expending mental initiative each
| time she does them.
If there are children it is very i'm
portant that they should be taught

take kindly to such system. Uspally
they have an immense admiration for
established customs. So start them

SO big that it will nearly reach those

Peter said that he thought he did.
1t wasn't quite clear to him, but he
had the idea Meanwhile Mrs. Paddy
already had begun to drag sticks and
lay them in the Laughing Brook
where the water was shallow. She
laid them with the big ends point

by rolling stones on them and heap

where that dam was to be.

NHE Girl Scouts are all very
proud Of the Scout teahouse
at Pierce Mill and are de-

lighted to know that it will
be- kept open all winter instead of
being closed for the cold weather, as
was formerly necessary. This Is
made possible by the cooperation OF
Mrs. Frederick Atherton and Judge
John Barton Payne, who are furnish
ing the tcahouse with a heating
plant. Miss Helen Jones is chairman
Of the committee in charge Of the
teahouse and Miss Ruth c. White is
manager
The teahouse is certainly looking
it's best these days, with its lovely
color scheme Of blue and yellow:
The touch of winter color is supplied
by bowls of red berries placed In the
windows. They do not interfere with
the general harmony of the color
scheme and add a decidedly cheerful
note to tho coy atmosphere of the
teahouse. Arrangements have have. oeen cen

group of distinguished Britishers
headed by Sir Charles Wakefield. for

William Pitt, Edmund Burke and
James Bryce.

The n~eighborhood of the Monroe
Mansion has seen changes in keeping
with the fall of the building from its
once lofty estate. The historic house
is now overshadowed by jObbing
houses and surrounded by battery-fll-
ing stations and lunch stands. A row
OF 12-story buildings looks down
from the west upon this junk shop
that once boosted of being among the
best of the fine homes of an exclusive
residential section.
The house was built by Samuel l..
G%ouyerneur, who married Maria, the
Presidents daughter. 1t is an old.fash-
Toned two-story structure with an at
tic under a hip roof.
The single trace of its connection
with the President whose doctrine has
had such n great effect upon the his
tory of the New World and the Old is
a bronze plate under the second.story
window. This tablet, dedicated by
Gouverneur Hoes of Washington, d.
c.. great-great-grandson of the Presi-
dent, has been hidden from the casual
eye by the dirt of many seasons.
In November, 1919, the house was
sold Mt auction for speculative pur-
poses after an unsuccessful effort on
the part of the American Scenic ard

by Russia, Austria and Prussia, was
threatening to help Spain recover its
control of various South American re-
publics which had achieved independ-
ence. Russia and the United States
were in controversy over Pacific coast
boundaries. And here is the nub OF
what President Monroe said:
"In the discussions to which this
interest has given rise, and in the ar
engagements by which they may ter
inmate, the occasion has been deemed
proper for asserting, as n principle in
which the rights and interests of the
United States are involved, that the
American continents, by the free and
Independent condition which they have
assumed and maintained, are hence
forth not to be considered rs subjects
for future colonization by any Euro
pean power. . We owe it, there
fore, TO candor and to the amicable
relations existing between the United
States and those powers to declare
that we should consider any attempt
on their part TO extend their system
to any portion of this hemisphere as
haAhStAouo " pht BthNC anu ShiNAiH
With the existing colonies or depend
encies of any European power we have
not lnterfered and shall not interfere.
But with the governments who have
declared their independence and main
tain it, and whose independence we
have, on great consideration and on
just principles, acknowledged. we could
not view any interposition for the pur-
pose of depressing them or controlling
in any other manner their destiny by
any European power in any other light
than as the manifestation of an UNI
friendly disposition toward re United
States"
President Cleveland In 1895 in the
controversy over the boundary line be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana
warned Great Britain in a message t o
congress that the Monroe Doctrine
"was intended to apply to every stage
of our national life, and cannot become
obsolete while our republic endures."
President Harding, at the unwilling
of the Bolivar statue In New York In
1921 said:
'The history Of the generations
since that doctrine was proclaimed
has proved we never intended It
selfshly that we had no dream of ex-
p~loitation. On the other side, the his
tory of the last decade certainly must

Moreover, December 2. 1923, IS the

ABSENCE
By WILL M. U


How big a little house can be
When all have gone away
And left no one at home but me;
How dreary, grin and gray
The shadows are at eventide,
When lone and tired | come
And have no one to sit beside
Me when at last I'm home.
The hall seems leagues of distance
wide,
Each room a vast estate;
Dark forms in dusky orEer hide
And terrors lie in wait.
Deep silence reignS and over all
The lonesome sh ,dows creep;
| list TO hear a soft football
From out the silence deep.
No welcome laugh. nc smiling face.
No eager, running feet
To meet me as I neal the place;
No kiss from lips so sweet.
A barren isle in widespread sea-;
A rock In desert wide;
No hands that beckon unto me
Near home at eventide.
And yet. ere morning sun awakes
l feel a presence sweet;
Dream faces dreary fancy breaks
And bring a JOY complete.
I feel the touch Of little hards,
See smiles of childish glee;
And as from far-off Falryland
My children come to ne.
Ger low-lung hills and valleys wide,
Far from the city's strife.
Midst country Genes where joys abide
Are children lear and wife.

THE GREATEST ART

but their Judgment, however II may

by studying II spontaneously and
checking I'm IFS defects.
He turns the first canvas to the wall
