PAGE SIX THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913. The White Its. WOODItOW WILSON, besides Tbt m. is a master of the mysteries of culinary art. She can proparo all man ner of dainty dishes, the recipes of which are her own secret, in espe cial being a famous cakemaker. Nothing tlollghts her more, whon op portunity offers, than to descend Into the domain of the White House chef, clad In a gingham bib and apron, and, with her sleeves rolled up to the elbows, pre pare and bako a cake of her own invention for tho delec tation of her family or some particularly favored guest t H H Mrs. Secretary Bryan is a born housekeeper. She can not abide hotel life. She loves to entertain, but prefers tho presence of a few intimate friends to the more formal large gatherings, which her position as the wife of a cabinet officer compels her to undergo from tlmo to time. During Secretary Bryan's visit to the Pacific coast Mrs. Bryan took advantage of her husband's absence to enjoy a few days "rest cure" at a Washington sanitarium as a brief respite from the burdensome social obligations JESSIE WILSON. which of necessity are a part of her dally life. V. V. H Miss Jessie Wilson's favorite exercise Is walking. She is always hall fel low well met with all tho children she meets in her rambles and is Immensely popular with them. Frequently she is her father's sole companion on his long tramps. t ? t Miss Eleanor Wilson, whose Intimates call her "Nell," is an enthusiastic horsewoman. No "namby pamby" trots for her, but a good stiff hurdle, tho stiller tho better if the horse will take It. She is a constant source of altcrnato admiration and terror to Washington folk when displaying her horsemanship. Tho daughters of the president, while lively, agreeable and brimful of life, steadfastly decline to permit the allurements of society to divert them from their self imposed labors in behalf of good citizenship. They are also enthu siasts In all forms of outdoor sport. H i fc I Mrs. David F. Houston, the popular wife of the secretary of agriculture, Is noted as a woman who can keep a secret Before going to Washington she was a leader in the Equal Suffrage league. Her favorite hobby, after her husband and children, Is the practical study of social economics. t? tt Tho wife of the secretary of war, Mrs. Lindley M. Garrison, is noted for her keen sense of humor. It Is said that in this respect she oven outshines her dis tinguished husband, who has considerable reputation as a wit himself. . V, Vl Mrs. Josephus Daniels, whoso husband holds the navy portfolio, Is well known in Washington society. Her mother, Mrs. Adelaide Worth Bagley, and her sisters, the Misses Belle and Ethel Bagley, have lived In tho capital many years. She has a brother, David Worth Bagley, who is In the navy. V. v, tn Mrs. William C. Itedfleld, whose spouse before entering the cabinet was once mentioned for vice president, has been called the typical "Wilson woman." She Is very democratic and home loving and is said to have the same tastes, same tendencies and same likes and dislikes as the president's wife. Today's Short Story The Cyclone GERALD MAXWELL, being threat ened with pulmonary trouble, de cided to give up business, go west and live an outdoor life. Taking his family with him to Kansas, ho bought a farm thcro and entered upon tho work of raising crops. Ho suc ceeded in re-establishing his health, and a family of children grow up about him. One day a neighbor owning a farm on tho opposite side of tho road from the Maxwells died, and his family moved away. A few months later tho closed farmhouse was reopened, and an 111 favored man was seen moving about tho place. He had bought tho farm and, being a bachelor, had gono to llvo alono on It. His name was Stuntz. Ho came from Kentucky, was about forty years old and was In all respects a disagreeable looking person. As a matter of policy Mr. Maxwell went over and made his acquaintance. and Mrs. Maxwell Invited hltn to sup per. Ho accepted the Invitation, but said very llttlo during tho meal. Tho only person present who seemed to arouso his attention was Caroline Max well, tho oldest daughter, aged twenty. Not long after this Stuntz Joined Miss Maxwell on tho road and walked with her. She treated him civilly, though she found it difficult to do so. One day Mr. Maxwell was astonished at receiving a call from Stuntz for tho purposo of asking for Carollno's hand. Tho fathor concealed his dis gust ns well as ho was able, saying that any such match would bo impos Bible. From this time forward Stuntz spent all his leisure tlmo arranging annoy' House Set being mistress of the White House, 1913, Amorican Press Association. MIi8. DANIELS. nnces for tho Maxwell family. Ho contrived that his cattle should get within tho Maxwell fences and tramp down tho crops; he shot Tommy Max well's pigeons; ho appropriated the Maxwell fruit One day Mr. Maxwell was obliged cither to surrender his manliness or protest nt the shooting by Stuntz of tho household dog, beloved by all tho Maxwell family. Stuntz went Into his house to get his gun to kill Maxwell, whoso wife, terrified, dragged him within doors and locked him in. Tho next morning Stuntz was seen sitting on his porch with his gun in bis hands, evidently watching for Mr. Max. well's appearance. Tho weather was hot and murky, ragged clouds passing overhead. Dur ing the afternoon a dark mass of cloud appeared above the southern horizon. Mrs. Maxwell, looking out of n win dow, saw it' Sho also saw Stuntz sit ting with his gun across, tho road not 200 yards away. Presently tho cloud assumed tho shape of an immense bal loon, a,nd tho whole family went to the cellar. Stuntz was not facing tho balloon cloud and didn't seo it. Furthermore, he, being from Kentucky, had had no experience with Kansas cyclones. On came tho pillar of cloud, gyrating liko a top and humming like" a mighty cat aract Then suddenly Stuntz, amid a mass of whirling timbers which a second be fore had been his house, went up into tho air. Whirling like a teetotum, turning a thousand somersaults, he was carried with the rapidity of a cannon ball for a mllo and a half, then was dashed to the ground from an alti tude of several hundred feet When tho Maxwell family emerged from tho cellar they saw neither Stuntz nor his house. His gun w lying with a broken stock in tho road. Tho cyclono had cut a swath covering tho Stuntz houso and leaving their own unharmed. ON THE I F your wife is a doctor, why didn't you go to her for your cold?" "Too expenslvo, doctor. Last time she ordered mo to spend six weeks at Palm Beach and came with mo her self." Both Henpecked. "We're henpecked, pa, ain't we?" "Why, what do you mean, my boy?' "Well, ma makes me wash my hands before I come to the suppor tablo, and she makes you wash yours before you hook up her back." t . He Got Even. "Brown sent me a brick by parcel post, but I got even with him." "What did you do?" "Passed tho word along to a number of agents that bo was figuring on tak ing oat more life insurance." v. Differentiation. "Tbe man who runs this store has got the right idea all right." "How 80?" "He advertisos, 'Bagpipes and musi cal instruments.' " Every cook knows the patience and tlmo wasted in hunting holders, which seem to have a way of disappearing Just at the moment that they are most needed. All this may be avoided by sewing two holders at the end of inch tapes, which are suspended from a tape band which fastens around tho waist, Just as an apron band does. .Let them reach to. the bottom of the dress, one at each side of the waist line. They will always be ready when needed. Have some of your kitchen holders made of doublo size and stitched to gether on three sides, so that the hand can be thrust into them almost as into a mitten. This will save tho hands from getting red, rough backs, which readily crack and chap. A handy hook is made by taking any smooth stick and inserting into ono end a good strong screw hook, right anglo shape. It is useful for various pur poses. It will draw hot utensils from the oven, pull down window shades that havo Jumped beyond one's reach, pull windows down from the top and reach anything tucked away In tho cor ners of shelves, etc. THE OILPIREIM9 s eM If He Only Llttlo Carlo Dear me; I wish he Whether he was angry or only in play. Elephant Nurses. India has some of the strangest chil dren's, nurses in tho world, for many elephants are used there in that way. Tho mother or nurse who wants to bo relieved of tho caro of the baby for awhile shows it to tho elephant, and then places it within reach of tho long, twisting trunk. No matter how tho child may try, it cannot get away from tho big bepst, who gcnVf brings It back by an infolding cir5?o of tho trunk if it begins to stray. Tho llttlo creature may tumble about as it will between tho four big feet; not ono" of thorn will brush Its dress carelessly. Even elephants which aro cross to other people aro gcntlo to their keep ers and may be trusted with children without the least danger. Why It's Called Worsted. Tho cloth Is called worsted becauso It was originally manufactured in large quantities at Worsted, England, which was ten a comparatively large und flourishing place. i a 1 v Cupid and Card Index.

And my fingers wandered Idly Over the noisy keys. I know not what I was playing Or what I was dreaming then. But I struck one chord of music Like the sound of a1 great amen. It flooded the crimson twilight Like the close of an angel's psalm. And It lay on my fevered spirit With a touch of Infinite calm. It united pain and sorrow Like love overcoming strife. It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life. It linked perplexing meanings Into one perfect peaoo And trembled away Into silence, As If It were loath to cease. I have sought, but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine Which camo from the soul of the organ And entered Into mine. It may bo that death's bright angel Will speak In that chord again. It may be that only In heaven I shall hear that grand amen. Had a Tail! bad wag. could tell then A. Legend.
