PRESIDENTS HARD WORKERS

It is hard to understand how any one who has seen the work of our chief executive close at hand can coVet his task.
 My acquaintance has included five Presidents -- Cleveland, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson and Harding. I have seen them at Work-ouc ot them for more than six years of association. It was not my own chief who said to me in the executive office that he had not time to be President of the United States. His statement will be readily understood when the facts are known.
 There is no eight or ten or even twelve hour day for our chief eTecu- tive. Frequently his calendar is filled with appointments in quick success sion covering all the day and reach ing into the night. No corporate directors who had glimmerings of sense would permit their head to be such a victim of time wasters as the President of the United States is obliged to be.
 One President (not Mir. WilS.n) told me one day that after he hafa finished with the patronage hunters and other interviewers he would hEve between to autograph,
 have often seen the Presidents S table piled high with papers-not all of them portant-that required his signature. His round of callers would bring distraction to an indus trial leader. There is sound reason being near at hand for the task is such that daily watchfulness must be used to keep the physical and mental powers at highest pitch.
 Presidents, of course, do not com plain, but carry their load cheerful

MUSTERED LECTURER

Stranger things happen to an Eng fish lecturer in the United States than in any other country. At least they happened to me. I shall never forget, for instance, how in the mid dle Of a speech to the City club of New York, I was thrust into a taxi cab. hurried off to the Forty fourth Street theatre, received with a tre- mendous explosion Ca flashlight photoD in the dressing room of Al the middle of a harem scene (scores Gf beautiful maidens) and told to make a speech on behalf of wounded soldiers while the audience raffled for an original letter from Lloyd George to the American nation.
 Surprised by my rapid transmigra tion from the City club, and by my presence in an oriental harem. very hot. rather Mustered. and not know ing what to do with my hands, kept screwing up a bit Lf paper which had been given to me at the wings, and by the time I had fin ished my three minutes speech it was a bit of wet, mushy pulp. When l left the stage, a white-faced man in the wings who had been making frantic signs to me, informed me coldly that I had utterly destroyed Lloyd Georges letter to the Amer ican nation which had just been raf- fled for many hundreds of dollars After that l went back to finish my speech at the City club Philip Gibbs, in the Worlds Work.

so long, Raggedy Andy thought tc himself, Well, I shall wait for the Hinkdoppus no longer! He won't come out so that I can crack him with this stickw And Raggedy Andy put the big stick over his shoulder and started out to find Raggedy Ann.
 Meanwhile, the Hinkdoppus had Raggedy Ann tied up tight in a hollow tree.
 q do not believe Raggedy Andy Is waiting at my front door to crack me with the big stick" the Hink- doppus said to Raggedy Ann, "So shall carry you home and get my shippers! I know my shippers are in the bed, for I locked every other place, then when I get them I shall snip open your dress and take the magical Wishing Pebble out of your cotton stuffed body"
 The Hinkdoppus picked up Rag gedy Ann and ran toward his home.
 "Ploppity! Ploppity! Ploppity! went his feet as he sped over the ground.
 Then. just as the Hinkdoppus came to a large tree, a big stick cracked him on the big toe, "Whack" And the Hinkdoppus and Raggedy Ann went tumbling head over heels across the grass.
 Of course a tumble never hurts Raggedy Ann, nor Raggedy Andy for they are made of cloth and stuffed with soft cotton, but Hink doppus Is made out of meat, just like a weenywurst, and 1t hurt his head every time his head hit the ground. Then, before the Hinkdop- pus could get to his feet, he felt something come down upon his head Crack" just like that! and with a loud cry, "Oh! Ouch! The sky has fallen and cracked me on the head!

 T never misjudged you," he de- clared. T have always known how tender your heart is. And what you of it."
 "Wait?' she begged. You do not know the facts. Sit down again and listen"
 He dropped once more into chair. Co ahead" he said. But nothing you can say will change my opinion of your generosity your goodness"
 It is not my generosity--in one way she explained. ITO be sure, wanted to lend you the money, or, as you said invest it. But" with embarrassment. my guardian did not approve of that. Of course, he is accountable for the wise invest mcnt of my funds
 She paused, but the man did not spcak. She glanced at him, then looked away. Gushing.
 'So.' she went on, he advised against my putting any money into your plan. Instead, he said that would do it himself"
 "What,' The exclamation was startled, incredulous.
 Yes" Winifred forgot her em barrassment in her earnestness. Wasn't it fine of him? He would not call it an investment-but loan"
 He suggested that himseIf?"
 Yes. He said he preferred not in- vestng 5000 in thing that has not been proved. But, as 1 am interested in your work he is willing to let you have the money to start with
 For how lOng?'
 The questions were not curt but anxious Ninifred felt sorry for the man. It was plain that he could not yet believe iu his good fortune"
 T told him you would pay off a certain amount each month" she replied.
 What did he say?"
 Why"-trying to remember Muir's exact words-''he said that business was not usually transacted in that fashion. But, if you prefer that, It will be all right"
 T see." There was a long silence before Rankin added, T fancy Mr. Muir would like note for the full amount-since he spoke of my idea as unbusinesslike. Come to think it, I believe I would rather give him a note. By the end of three months I hope to be able to meet it."
 He seemed to be thinking deeply, for he started when Winifred spoke again.
 You have not yet admitted that a rich man may be fair, after all, she accused.

DINNER REFoRMED

The housewife sighed as she rose from the big cool chair on the ve- randa, where she had been enjoying the lovely late afternoon at the bum galow she had taken for the summer
 T just can't bear to go in and start dinner" she mourned. This is the most charming part of the whole day and I'm all daintily dressed in my best summeE duds. I'm not hungry for hot food, anyway; but, you see, Peter comes home on this 5:30 train and after he has had a shower and changed, he is ready for a regular meal"
 The friend who is visiting her hesitated a moment, and then said: T wonder if my summer-day scheme wouldn't work splendidly for you. l, too, always feel that it is a shame to go into a hot kitchen just as the world Is most restful and tranquil, so I get dinner in the morn ing, when l have to be in the kitchen anyway, and all I have to do is to put 1t on the table at dinner time
 Priceless cooker?" queried the hostess.
 No, regular oven meal! It works like this. My daugbter and I put in roast of beef, say, or a chicken, or leg of lamb, while we are doing the breakfast dishes. We also dur. ing the morning make a bowl full of salad, and a dessert that goes on the ice. Potatoes are washed and put in the oven ready to bake; or dish of baked corn pudding gotten ready to whisk the eggs in later.
 Now at noon, when we come back from tennis and marketing or shop ping, we eat our good, hot, nourish- ing meal of the day. I ask my hus- band to eat a hot. substantial meat luncheon in the city. Half an hour or so before the dinner hour I light a md 2 1rf ha fo pt,e dish of baked corn pudding or onion souffle and then go back to my DOOR, Ten minVtes before the meal l set the table, slice the cold meat, dress the salad and cut bread and butter. My husband enjoys the cold chick en or lamb and the cool salad and dessert. As for me, am in the kitchen less than 20 minutes and have missed almost none of the late afternoon pea efulness."

 Then Raggedy Ann felt herself being turned over for she had fallen face down in the grass; and there smiling down at her was Raggedy Andy.
 Raggedy Andy hurried and united Raggedy Ann. "We must hustle and run away from the Hinkdoppus! Raggedy Andy said. For he will think as soon as he gets home that 1t Is impossible for the sky to fall and will know that it was l who cracked him upon his head"
