Change Dreaded Features
In Modern Housewives Day

The one thing that you dread most
and dislike most In housework-what Is
it? The French woman would call II
her "bete noir"-her black beast-and
that Is q good name for 1t. An ugly
beast 1t is that hides lurking behind
doors and jumps out at you when you
least expect him, taking the Joy out of
things.
1t may be, If you have good health
and have systematized your work and
are fortunate enough to have good
equipment for doing your work, that
there isn't any black beast in your
house at all, and then keeping house
Is daily pleasure. But there are very
few housewives in any community who
do, not opsses at least one little "bete
noir."
What Is yours? One housewife to
whom this question was put promptly
answered. Looking forward to It," An
other said, Dish washing" Still an
other declared that 1t was planning
meals" and fourth that the thing she
disliked most was cleaning up after
other people"
Usually there is some way, If not act
ually to slay the black beast, at least
to keep him so In subsection that he
gives little trouble. The woman who
dreaded most looking forward to her
work had not systematized her work as

the forbidding condition of the streets,
the first executive reception of the sea-
son at the White House tonight was
fully attended. President Buchanan
and his niece were both in excellent
health and spirits and received their
multitude of guests in the most cordial
and agreeable manner. Marshal Selden
officiated at the side of the President
and Dr. Blake presented the guests to
Miss Lane.
Among the prominent persons present
we're Secretaries Cobb Toucey and
Thompson, and their ladies: many Sem
ators and members of the House, some
with ladies; members of foreign lega-
tions, accompanied by ladies, and va
rious other persons of distinction from
home and abroad.
A stranger in the room attracted con-
siderable attention by the peculiarities
of his attire, which consisted of a
military uniform with a silk scarf
thrown over his shoulders. 1t is said
that he has come to Washington as an
applicant for patent on steam pillow
and that his brilliant costume was worn
in accordance with the advice of some
of his boarding house acquaintance,
who suggested to him that to succeed
in securing his patent he must make
himself somewhat prominent In Wash
ington society and thus attract the at
tention of the influential politicians.
Prof. Scala and the Marine Band
furnished the usual quota of splendidly
played patriotic airs during the recep-
ton.
A crowd of some 200 persons collected
in the middle of Pennsylvania avenue
near the Capitol gate this evening to
look at the remains of what had just
previously been q decent-looking hack
ney carriage, but was then reduced to
an undoubted wreck. The forward axle
broke In coming down Capitol Hill and
let the driver over the washboard The
horses trotted along very quietly and
dragged the spunky driver, who would
not let go. through the mud for con-
siderable distance.
Finally the animals, discovering that
something serious was the matter, came
to stop. The driver got up, and after
collecting the scattered parts of the de-
molished svehicle into pile, departed
in quest Of clean pond in which to
leave the mud accumulated upon his
person,
An old gentleman. who was riding In
the hackney carriage at the time OF the
accident, left in haste at an early stage
in the proceedings.

Development of Individuality

over tables, or articles of clothing are
left out. These are among the minor
unattractive peculiarities.
Among the same minor group but OF
an agreeable kind are such peculiarities
as the orderliness of some persons, the
artistry Of others. It Is frequently said
of the latter that one would always
know when such an individual had been
in room of her home. She left her
mark of artistry in the very way she
rearranged the books on a table or set
the chairs at varying angles, or did any
of the thousand and one little things
whereby she could set her mark.
There are unattractive personal pc
culiarities that can be guarded against
by parents, when they see them begin
ming to develop. For instance, biting the
nails, nervous tendency to rub the
face, denoting self consciousness, etc.
1t may be worthy Of note that by pc
ciiliarities, of whatever sort tn J may
be, detectives discover many criminal
or sway suspicion away from innocent
persons. Little trails are identifying. for
good or for Ill. 1t behooves us all to see
that such peculiarities as we have are OF
a fine type.

the simple process OF fixing a tiny
