In return for her hospitality the president and his family entertain Aunt Delia several times each year, both at the White House at Washington and at the presi dent's vacation home on the north shore of Massachusetts Itay.

The fondness of President Taft for Miss Torrey and her stately home at Millbury, Mass., Is the more readily understood when It is explained that the old homestead in the little village in central Massachusetts,-—the house that has been home to Miss Torrey ever since she was six years of age,— was the boyhood hotne of William 11. Taft and his brothers. Mrs. Taft, mother of the president, always found the clin:ate of Cincinnati very trying in summer and accordingly It became her custom to take the children and spend the entire heated term each year with her only sister in the home stead a; Millbury. No wonde- :i>at "Bill" Taft grew up with many ciose friends here, dating from the days when he played "first base" on the ball team; and with strong associa vilie, I think It was—he looked for . all the world like a circus getting off ; the cars. His wife evidently had no | idea of war. She imagined her hits- i band would put up over night at the 1 best hotels, and would have the bene- j fit of wash lists and laundries.

Furthermore, after the death of Judge Taft his widow made her home until her death with Aunt Delia, and hither came William H. Taft at frequent Intervals to visit his mother and his aunt. The home of Aunt Delia is located on the main street of the little village and within sight of the passengers on the trolley cars bound for Worcester, some half-hour's -ide distant. The house is large, w» a portico in front supported by columns rising to the second floor and it appears lmmacu lr.te in the coat of white paint con trasted with the green shutters which one comes to look upon as inevitable in New England. The house is sur rounded by flower gardens and con spicuous among the posies is a gor geous Killarn*-" "ise which was trans planted frou White House at Washington for Aunt Delia and which is her especial pride. The interior of the house is filled with r' old ma | hogany and quaint china calculated to provoke envy In the breast of any collector of antiques. There, too, Is the old family Bible with Its Inter esting chronicle of the various mem ; bers of the clan for many generations past. In addition to hef other accomplish ments Aunt Delia writes a clear legi ; ble hand and she has plenty of prac ; tlse in penmanship for she receives a heavy volume of mall now that her nephew's praise has made her knowi by reputation to the great American public. Many of the letters that comw ;to Miss Torrey contain requests fo? 1 her f?.vorlte recipes, particularly those that embody her formulas for tho ■ vaunted apple pies. Aunt Delia j clares that some of the recipes that have been attributed to her had no j such origin, but she smiles lndulgentlj I at the disposition to make her an oracle for Yankee housewives who would reach the masculine heart | through the stomach. . edge tho receipt of the garment.

As tho bracing and cool (lays of a* tumn come upon us, tho chafing dish which has been having its vacation time, is welcomed with a real delight. There are so many appetizing dishes which are only prepared and served In perfection from the chafing dish. One of the most charming things about a chafing dish is the seeing a dish made before tho eyes. For a be ginner it is best to start with some thing simple, like fried bacon or liver and bacon. Rub the blazer -with onion and putin the bacon. When crisp, lay in thin slices of liver which have been rolled in flour. Serve each piece of liver with a slice of bacon. Cuwied Salmon.—Chop one small onion and brown in the blazer in a tablespoonful of olive oil. mix togeth er a tablespoonful of flo and a tea spoonftil of curry powdt,-., add to the onion, stir and cook until bubbling, then add three-fourths of a cup of hot water, a teaspoonfsl of salt, the juice of half a lemon and the salmon. Sardines on toast are another sim ple and tasty dish. Heat tho sardines and put on pieces of toast cut the size and shape of a lady finger. Serve with chopped onion put on lettuce* leaves arranged around a platter. A Savory Rechauffe.—Stir together a tablespoonful of jelly, apple, cur rant or grape and two tablespoonfuls of butter in the blazer until melted. I-ay in slices of rare roast beef or cold mutton or lamb; season with salt and pepper, turn often and serve. Creamed ix)bster.—Chop the flesh of a inedium-sized lobster. Beat the yolks of two eggs and mix with two tablespoonfuls of cream. Season with salt, onion juice, pepper ami nutmeg. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in the chafing dish. When hot add the lobster meat; when hot add the sea sonings. Serve on buttered toast. I Curried Eggs.—Take six hard-boiled I eggs, slice crosswise into four thick i slices. Brown a small onion in a tablespoonful of butter, add a table spoonful of flour, a teaspoonful of curry powder, half a teaspoonful of salt and a cupful of stock; cook until smooth, then add two tablespoonfuls of cream and the sliced eggs. SECIPH for Home Comfort.— Take of thought of self one part, two parts of thought for family: equal parts of common sense and broad Intelligence, a large medium of tho sense of the fitness of things; a heaping measure of living above what your neigh bors think of you; twice the quantity of keeping witliln your Income; a sprinkling of what tends to refinement and esthetic beauty stirred thick with Christian princi ples of the true hand and set to use. —Anna O. Powers. Dusting. Dust, like tho poor, Is always with us, and the process of dusting con sumes a large part of the time of the houso wife. Many thrifty workers carry a small dust cloth in the pocket, then when going upstairs dust the treads and banisters; on coming down dust the railing. Now that we are beginning to re alize that dust contains living germs, many of them disease g< rms, which are only waiting for favorable condl- j tlons to develop, we should use more ; care in the removal of dust. Brushing j with a feather duster only stirs up the 1 dust, to Ijo taken into the lungs | through tho air we breathe. An amusing story is told by Mai O'Rell: When visiting In this coun try, his hostess and he camo into a room where a maid was wielding a duster with more vigor than judg- I ment, and replied, when asked what she was doing; "Why, I'm dusting." •ler mistress requested her to "please undust." Much using of the broom is often unnecessary, to pick up loose threads and brush up footmark* takes less j rime than ordinary sweeping, which leaves tho dusting still to be done. Dusting is an art. For plain surfaces H soft, absorbent cloth, slightly damp Is the best, using a brush and pointed stick to reach corners and cracks. The cloth should be shaken and well washed after using The manu factured dust cloth wihch contains an oil ami hold* the dust Is quite u pop ular one ;»t present.

Its Geographical Position and Man/ Other Considerations Mark It as Most Suitable Spot for Dedi cation of Great Work. Public sentiment has decided that the completion of the Panama Canal In 1915 shall bo celebrated with a great International Exposition in which all the nations of the world may participate; and the question of' where this Exposition Is to be held will be settled by Congress at its ap proaching session. New Orleans and San Francisco are contesting for the honor of hold ing this Exposition, and both cities have guaranteed immense sums of money as an evidence of their ability to finance so great an enterprise. An Exposition worthy of the term "World's Fair," such as New Orleans proposes to build, will be a great ed ucational movement. Its success as such, however, will depend entirely upon the percentage of our popula tion who can secure its educational advantages, this in turn, depends up on its location, as the time in travel ing to and from the Exposition, and the 20st in railroad and Pullman fares, are the most important factors. Considering these matters, New Orleans' claims to being the "Logi cal Point" for this Panama Exposi tion, seem to be fully substantiated by the following facts:— Now Orleans is 500 miles from the center of population In the United States. San Francisco Is 2,500 miles distant therefrom. Within a radius of 500 miles from New Orleans there are 17,500,000 people. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 2,000,000. Within a radius of 1,000 miles from New Orleans, there are 05,000,000. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 0,000,000. At an average of 900 miles from New Orleans, there are 70 of our principal cities with a combined population of 20,000,000. Averaging 900 miles from San Francisco there are only 8 large cities, with a com bined population of Just 1,000,000. The average distance of all these cities to New Orleans Is 792 miles, — to San Francisco 2,407 miles. Over 75 per cent, of the people of the United States could goto ail Exposition there at an average ex pense for railroad fare of $12.50, as against an average of $37.50 to the Pacific Coast; and for several mil lions of our people, the Puiiman fare and Dining Car expenses alone, for a trip to San Francisco, would amount to more than all their trans portation expenses for a trip to New Orleans. This is an important public ques tion to be settled by Congress at the session which convenes in December. Many of our readers will wish to visit this World's Panama Exposi tion, and if held in New Orleans a great many moro could spare th® time and money for the trip than could goto San Francisco. There fore, wo urge our readers to write to the two senators from this State and the congressman from this district, requesting them to support New Or leans in the contest The Rstert Courteous. "Now," said the suffragette orator, sweeping the audience with her eagle eye, "I see Mr. Dobbs sitting down there in the third row—a man who has condescended to come here to night and listen to our arguments. He has heard what I have had to say, and I think wo should liko to hear from him, and get a man's view of our cause. Mr. Dobbs, toll us what you think of the suffragettes."
