old versus the new hung temporarily
in the balance. The new, backed by
the combined tact, wisdom and finesse
Of the President and Mrs. Fillmore,
won. So complete was the White
House kitchen deity's capitulation that
she who had been its chief opponent
waxed eloquent as its proponent. The
White House cook-stove was not only
by way of being one OF the Capitals
seven wonders, but destined to change
cooking fashions throughout the
Nation.
Upon occasion official guests were
even escorted to the kitchen regions
by the Fillmores, that they might view
the erstwhile outraged deity BEAM
ingly display the marvels Of this once
despised contraption Of the evil one.
The very last word in electric cook
ing arrangements installed during the
present administration has brought
about changes in White House cook
ing procedure quite as marked as
those which resulted in the transition
from the f1replaces to th4t first cook
stove. The only difference is that the
procedure has been painless one not
requiring presidential Intervention to
make 1t acceptable TO the kitchen
staff.
Certainly history repeats itself TO
the delight of favored guests from
near and far who view its shining
wonders and the gadgets and con-
trivances which manipulate 1t. There
was nothing In the White House which
was more intriguing to the foreign
delegates attending the recent inter-
national conference Of the Associated
Country Women of the World than
was the new electric cook stove in the
mansion and all of its marvellous ap-
purtenances. Doesn't this only 60 to
show that the kitchen is the heart
OF the home wherever it may be?

From the now famous oval room

when cleaned, proved to be very
attractive one. Here, they surrounded
themselves with treasured books from

Receptive because of their wide
reading range to the worthwhile in

was not extraordinary that the claims

many merits as a labor saving device,

BY 12:45 the floor was a mill
ing mass. There were shouts for
order, but there was no order.
Jim Farley was having his picture
taken for the thouSandth time.
Cabinet Members on Hand
The platform filled up with
notables. Nearly all the mem
bers of the Roosevelt Cabinet
were there, shaking hands and
waving to friends on the floor.
Most of the Cabinet wives were
present, too.
It was such a honey, family
gathering, that Farley seemed re-
luctant to call the session to
order.
One o'clock came and went and
the band blared on. Finally at
1902 Farley raped for order and
called for the clearing Of the
aiSles so that the business of the
convention may proceed" Again
he was forced to pose for the inev'
liable photographers. Senator Joe
T. Robinson of Arkansas, majority
leader of the Senate, appeared on

MonSignor U. L. Lamb, auxiliary
bishop of Philadelphia, pro-
nounced the invocation:

He asked for divine guidance
for bringing the troubled ship OF
state safely into harbor with its
precious human cargo"
The prayer concluded, Farley
asked the convention to stand for
moment Sin solemn tribute to a
great American, Will Rogers. u
The minute of silence was OBJ
served, and applause broke out at
it's conclusion. Then the band
swung into the Star-Spangled
Banner and again they stood.
An operatic baritone then sang
the National Anthem, which the
band couldn't accompany and
considerably mussed up. Then
came a local glee club with

Herbert Lehman came in, arm

who is slated to be chairman of
the resolutions committee, and is
supposed to have the platform in
his pocket, fresh from the White
House.
Soon after this, the bald dome
OF Farley, grinning and expan'
sive as usual, appeared on the
platform and the delegates gave
him a great hand. The photog.
raphers wouldn't leave him alone.
They made him take the gavel
and pose in q score of ways.
By this time the delegates were
all in their places, but great
empty spaces yawned in the gal
leries.
