THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.
The White House at Washington,
which has been the "Kings Palace"
of the American People since it was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1809, has recently undergone a
thorough course of remodelling, reno-
vation and repair. Every American
citizen Is owner of an undivided
eighty or eighty-five millionth part of
the White House, as well as of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation of the remodelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House Is so called—became it is lit-
erally a “white house". 1 he exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim-
ple lines of the White House, set in
the midst of green lawns and beauti-
ful trees, produce a very satisfying
effect of dignified simplicity, white
paint from a practical point of view,
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
of paint that could have been selecfed
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis-
colored by smoke and dust, and sec-
ond, because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown-
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House is and
white it must remain or it would no
longer be the “White House”. So the
renovators, making the best of a dis-
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable.
The average citizen if asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decid-
ed on would probably answer—“white
lead and oil,” but he would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was a ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
well furnished village store, such as
Is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-five million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead of another is
a mere accidental detail—there are
fifty or a hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact,
a different brand was used in paint-
ing tho Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore,
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.
The Careless Man.
“I had a peculiar dream last night,
Mary,” said a railroad man to his wife.
"I dreamed 1 was appointed agent for
our line in San Francisco at double
the salary I’m now getting." A writer
in the Kansas City Times tells the
story.
"How fine!” said his wife, with a
smile.
"Yes,” continued tne man, “and I
started for San Francisco to take the
place. At a small station in Kansas
where the train stopped, I saw a dog-
fight going on, and stepped off the car
to watch it. The train weat oft with-
out me, and I woke up before I could
catch another.”
The wife’s smile changed to a look
of keen disappointment.
"Henry,” she said, with emphasis,
"you ought to be ashamed of yourself!
Why didn’t you stay on that train
and let that dog-fight alone? You’ll
never get a job If you act lilfe that.”
No Dogs.
The telegraph operator, seizing a fa-
vorable lull, said:
“In my business a man has strange
experiences. It was only yesterday
that I sent a message to a White
mountain hotel: ‘Hold room for self
and wife. Ten days.’ The answer
came back at once: ‘We don’t take
dogs.’ And the couple that wanted
to go to the hotel were horrified.
Later the explanation came. My mes-
sage, It seems, had been incorrectly
transmitted as: ‘Hold room for self
Rnd wife, 'fen dogs.’ "
ABOUT THE NEW DRESSES.
The Empire Stylus Lead, with Them
Are Worn Pretty Little Coats
i and Broad Sashes.
• _
Much speculation has been rife in
Paris as to the lines to be adopted In
the coming season for the new dresses.
Rumor said a return to the frills of
1870 was imminent, but no one could
speak with certainty, since the leading
dressmakers declined to give the
slightest hint as to the styles in prep-
aration. Now, at last, your correspon-
dent has been by special favor allowed
a glance at the models which are to be
displayed tp customers from all parts
of the world. And let it be said at
once that the majority of gowns will
be constructed on Empire lines. Small
boleros, clasping the bust closely, and
bound to the figure by "folded satin
sashes, or pieces of wondrous embroid-
ery, will play a leading role on both
day and evening dresses. From under
this folded sash, which runs up high at
the back, the skirt will fall in graceful
lines. Across the front of the bodice a
good deal of padding is used to giva
the strai-l , square look to the bust
which is essential for success.
In cloth gowns, of coat and skirt
type, there is a quaint adaptation of
this Empire idea. The very short bo-
lero of last autumn has a loose basque
added to it, which falls away from the
figure beneatff the arms and descends
to the waist-line. Beneath this coat
the skirt rises high over the bust, end-
ing sometimes with straps over the
shoulder.
Of blouses there are none. Their
place is taken by the elegant lace
guimpes which finish the Empire
gowns. Fine and beautiful laces are
used for these, and any bits of good
lace can be brought into use. WTith a
little bib-shaped piece of Irish lace
forming the middle of the front of the
bodice, straight lapels of the same lace
can be placed on the sleeve, running
down the middle, the material used for
the gown forming lightly draped puffs
on either side—N. Y. Tribune.
WHEN THERE IS NO MAID.
How to Have a Successful Dinner
Party When Hostess Must Pre-
pare and Serve.
Plan the meal beforehand with di-
rect reference to making a mininmum
of cooking and serving at the last
moment. First select such dishes as
can be prepared wholly or in part
some time before tlie meal. Set the
table ready for the first course and,
if it is warm weather, the windows
open and a strong breeze with much
dust, throw over all a cover made of
several breadths of cheeso cloth. Se-
lect the china, glass and silver for
the various courses and arrange on
the sideboard or an extra side table,
putting the set for each course by it-
self. In the kitchen put a table as
near to the communicating door as
possible; keep half of it clear to re-
ceive the soiled dishes. On the other
end place the platters, etc., on which
to dish up the hot food. When the
meal time arrives put the first course
on the table before :■ kiv:g your guest3
into the dining room. When it is fin-
ished they will, presumably, bo deep
in conversation while you are em-
ployed in changing the dishes. Hav-
ing everything in readiness this will
take but a few moments and you can
resume your seat. When there is no
host to do the honors it will relieve
you if you are at liberty to ask one or
more of the guests to serve certain
dishes.—Chicago Chronicle.
Banana Blanc Mange.
Soak a table spoonful of gelatine for
an hour in a teaspoonful of water.
Bring a cupful and a half of milk to
the boiling point, add a pinch of bak-
ing soda, and stir in a half cupful of
sugar and the soaked gelatine. Boil
for five minutes, stirring steadily. Line
a jelly mold with sliced bananas and
pour the lukewarm blancmange care-;
fully in upon these. Set ia the ice to
form. Turn out and eat with whipped I
cr*a.m. |
A man is often best known for the
things he thinks he keeps to himself.
Despair and disappointment are
cowardice and defeat.—Thoreau.

Boys, Bees and Bears
A schoolmistress asked her class of
boys to put the nouns boys, bees and
! bears into a sentence.
The scholars thought intensely for
a few minutes, when a ragged young-
ster with a look of victory on his face
raised Ills hand.
“Well, Johnny, said the teacher,
"what is your sentence ”
“Boys bees bare when they go in
swimming.” The teacher did not
call on any more of the class.
An Interesting Letter.
Mary Bagguley, of 117 Peach St„
Syracuse, N. Y., writes to tell of th®
terrible suffering of her sister, who,
for the past 24 years, had been Tor-
mented with side ache from female
trouble, keeping her weak and ailing.
“She tOok Wine of Cardui and Is now
well. Cardui has been a Godsend to
us both,” she writes. For all wom-
en’s troubles, Cardui is a safe, efficient,
reliable remedy. At druggists; 51.00,
But few people would know of your
troubles if you knew enough to keep
them under cover.
Eating His Destination
A young goat had been shipped on
a freight train to a farmer in Min-
nesota. A tag, with shipping direc-
tions thereon, had been tied securely
around his neck with a rope, but In
the course of the journey the goat’s
appetite tempted him to chew up the
tag and rope. This gave the negro
brakeman much concern. He hurried
to the conductor.
"Marse George,” he cried, "for du
land’s sake, where y’o specks to put
off dat goat? ‘E done eat up whah
’es gwine.”
He seals himself tonight who sinr
against the light.

Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff

He continues “in Helonias we have a medica-

purposes than any other drag with which I am

cullar to women it is seldom that a case is
seen which does not present some indication

says: 1 he following are among tho leading
