Wireless messages from the
White Star liner Adriatic, ell

that a fireman and a coal trimmer

coal trlmmels seriously injured,

have lost his life in an explosion

4 message received from the Adri-
attic by the New York Office of the
White star Line at noon stated that
the ship was S9l miles east OF Am
brose Light and Will reach here about
, 80 O'Clock Sunday afternoon. The
wounded were doing well, according to
the message, and there was nothing
further to report about the explosion.
The Adriatic was delayed about
eight hours by the explosion, part OF
the time just keeping up steerage
way and the rest OF the time running
at about 12 knots. She did not resume
full speed until 10 o'clock. She has
2O2 first class, $50 second class and
2j3 third class passengers.
A study OF the wireless messages
sent out by Commander II. Il. David
indicates that the explosion must have
caused a terrific conclusion and occa-
stoned considerable uneasiness. Spon-
taneous combustion or gas formation
in soft Welsh coal is believed at the
local White Star offices to have been
| the cause.
The first message was received al
the Charlestown, Mass, Navy Yard at

the explosion and stated, "Am en-

The message stated that the ex-

Caskoden, who was a member OF
the Ounce Parliament Of Henry

no lawyers in 1t.
1t is true that in the time Of
Edward w a Caskoden did stoop
to trade, but it was trade OF the
most dignified, honorable sort: he
was a goldsmith, and his guild. as
you know, were the bankers and
international clearance house for
people. king, and mobiles.
Besides, 1t Is stated on good
authority that there was a great
scandal wherein the goldsmith's
wife was mixed up in an intrigue
with the noble King Ed.

trade the Caskodens were Of honor

luxury Of life from its profits.
This goldsmith was shrewd
enough to turn what some persons
might call his ill.fortune, In one
way, into gain in another. He
was one Of those happily consti.

hold that even misfortune should

Guests In the
Home
BY LorettO c. Lynch,

"HE art of entertaining sue
cessfully is one that can
- be acquired. And the test
Of success is in making one feel
thoroughly at ease.
Perhaps you have had a pleas.
ant vacation, and you plan on
having someone whom you met
while on vacation as a house
guest for a few days or a week.
Try to put your house in order
before the guest arrives. II you
have a guest room the problem
easily solves itself as to sleeping
quarters. but il the house guest
must have room with one Of
the family, see that there is one
or more dresser drawers cleaned
out for the guest.
A place in the wardrobe with
proper hangers should be pro-
vided.
II possible have a special towel
bar in the bathroom for your
guest and on it some of Jour
best towels, of course.
Some hostesses make q mistake
in trying to provide out of season,
difficult to obtain, not to men,
tion expensive foods, in an effort
to please a guest. 1t Is a prettier
compliment to provide local
products. A guest from the in.
terror visiting the sea coast will
usually be more thrilled with sea
food than with foods coming a
distance from his or her part OF
the country.
Remember that guests do like
to have some free time for which
the hostess has not planned. A
guest may want to write letters
or rest.
Under no circumstances change
the routine of the house. The
disturbance Is bound to, become
apparent and may make the
guest feel uncomfortable. In
other words, do not pose. II the
housewife does all her own work
and the family is used to eating
both stewed fruit and the cereal
with the sauce spoon, and per.
haps from the sauce dish, do not
suddenly change this.
Make the guest feel that he or
she is just 'one of the family"
for whom no very special effort
Is being made. If you can make
guest feel this way, the guest
will remember the visit long
after your little mistakes in
cooking are forgotten.
