ARLIN E.
Pomerouo is rapidly coming to the front by reason of
the forceful frankness of his personality. Ills name is one that stands well
In American history. Ills great-grandfather came to the United States with
Lafayette and fought in Washington's army. It Is thus readily guessed that
the senator is of French extraction, as indeed his name, which originally meant
"queen's apple," would indicate. At Pomerene, as ho is affectionately termed
in his native state, has fewer "habits" than most. He docs not smoke, is
practically a total abstainer and has never no, never been beard to swear
even under the most trying circumstances. ''By the eternal I" is Atloo's limit
when aroused or vexed.

The third assistant secretary of state, the post which Dudley Field Malone,
Senator O'Gorman's son-in-law, has filled for some weeks now, is not the
sinecure that one might think. Latterly it has come to bo
regarded as a sort of ambassadorship to society, a job for
a capable young man who was competent to manage the
government's social affairs, entertaining and accompany
ing foreign notables on their visits to Washington and on
trips about the country. But there are lots of other things
which Malone finds to do also.

When Senator Willard Saulsbury,
upper house by the state of Delaware
donned a toga which in times past was regarded by old
Delawareaus as one of tho perquisites of the Saulsbury
family. Willard Saulsbury, his father, was United States
senator from that state from 1850 to 1871, being succeeded
by Eli Saulsbury. an uncle of tho present senator, who held
his seat in that august body from 1871 to 18S9. Besides
being an adept and resourceful statesman, tho present sen
ator is a golf expert of parts.

John II. Marble, formerly chief confidential clerk of
tho interstate commerce commission, who succeeded Frank
lin K. Lano on tho board when ho was made secretary of
tho interior, is accounted chlelly responsible for putting an end to the payment
of rebates by railroads. Beginning with 1907, when ho was made head of tho
division of inquiry, down to tho time of his appointment ns a member of the
commission, his activities resulted in 187 indictments against tho railroads
being returned, 138 convictions obtained and a total of $700,933 In fines collected.
Today's Short Story
His Father's Sin
FROM nn old manuscript:
I was born and reared on tho
coast of Norway. Until I was
twenty years old I had never been in
a town, and then only In a small vil
lage. -My associates were untutored
people, and I received but tho ele
ments of education. Nevertheless they
seemed to look upon mo as superior to
themselves. Whether that was be
cause I bore the marks of having been
born of superior stock or that my uaino
was English I did not know. My fa
ther died when I was ten years .old,
and I remembered him as always with
a sad look ou his face, which was re
flected in my mother's.
When I was twenty my mother died,
and I resolved to leave the desolate
place whore I had been born and seek
a more actlvo field. My mother had
told mo beforo her death that a sum
of money had been put in a bank for
mo at tho nearest town, and, going
there, I claimed It and took passage for
England.
On my arrival in London I went
about looking for work. Going into
tho office of a merchant for tho pur
pose, he asked mo my name. Whon I
told him ho looked up at mo in sur
prise.
"Where wero you born?" ho asked,
I tnld him nil I knew about mvself.
Ho regarded mo with compassion unci
gavo mo employment.
At intervals when introduced to 'a
person I was regarded with a certain
Interest or curiosity I couM not tell
which.
Ono day I asked my pmployer for an
explanation of the mrsfery that hung
over me. After thinking eonio time he

OLMSTED, Hcpublican congressman
from the Eighteenth Pennsylvania district, who

Uncle Joe Cannon was temporarily absent, Is

tenement Improvement movement In Washington and
has accompanied many of the "slumming" parties re
centlv organized bv society matrons of the canltal.
Although not particularly prominent politically, prior
to his election as lieutenant governor of Ohio, which he
gracefully resigned to put on the senatorial toga, Atleo
the first Democrat to be sent to tho
in twenty-four years, was elected bo
1913, by Ameri
can Press Asso
ciation. wiixaud sauls
buut. told me that it would be better for mo
not to know It. He advised mo to
change my name.
Finally I decided to try another coun
try, thinking that whatever it was
hung over mo would not bo known
there. America seemed the most in
viting ground, and I went to New
York, reaching there shortly before tho
breaking out of tho second war with
England. Registering at a hotel, the
clerk looked up from my namo to me
in astonishment.
I found in America that moro people
showed that dreaded interest in my
name than in England, nnd a different
interest. I burned with a desire to
know what It all meant; but, remem
bering tlio advlco of my London em
ployer, I refrained from asking, and
no ono offered to enlighten mo. To oc
cupy my mind I went to n library to
rend. There I stumbled on tho secret.
The wisdom of tho advice given me
by my former employer was now ap
parent Under an assumed name I
enlisted in tho American array to fight
against England. As I had entered
tho army a private I camo out a pri
vate. Under my assumed namo I went
Into business and prospered.
Then I fell in love. I had vowed
that I would never bring a child into
the world to suffer the blight under
which I suffered, nnd I strove to crush
tho natural longing that had taken pos
session of me. Meanwhile it was ovl
dent that I had won tho heart of tho
girt I loved. It was essential that I
should explain my conduct toward her.
I told her my secret
She loved mo all tho more, from pity,
that suffered from another's fault, nnd
wo wero wed.
This Is my secret: In tho Revolution
ary war an ofllcer of great merit nnd
prominence on tho patriot side turned
traitor, attempted to deliver to tho
British nn important strategic position
and fled to tho enemy. Living In Eng
land, where bo was despised, ho
brought up a family. My father, ono
of his descendants, shrinking from the
stain, went where ho would bo un
known.
An exceedingly dainty boudoir set,
consisting of three articles namely,
cap, slippers and garters is developed
In dotted net and embellished with
lace ribbon and a delicate rlblxm vino
of tiny pink rosebuds and leuves.
Tho cap is constructed entirely of
tho dotted net, lined with white chif
fon and gathered on a pluin, straight
band of palo blue satin ribbon nbout
an inch and a half wide, covered with
heavy lace insertion and outlined with
the rosebud vine. This band extends
halfway around the cap and is met by
a frill of the net edged with lace,
which finishes the back of the cap and
produces the Dutch effect.
Lamb's wool soles form the founda
tion for the slippers. Tho upper parts
are made of blue satin, covered with
the net and finished with a rosette of
blue satin ribbon, in the heart of
which nestles a group of pink rose
buds. Tho garters are plain, round and nar
row, made of blue satin, covered with
net and ornamented with tho rosebud
vine.
The child's wardrobe is incomplete
this season without a colorful frock.

The Home Beautiful
A SUGGESTION for furnishing a drawing room which has a rather gloomy
outlook is illustrated here. This apartment had soft green walls, with
white moldings and a white mantel decorated with floral wreath and
' lww designs. A plain white wainscoting runs nrotind the room to tho
height of about three feet. The light finish of tho walls is charmingly dupli
cated in the upholstering of the furnlturo and tho handsome rug on tho floor.
HOUSEHOLD NUGGETS.
When pressing tucks In crepe do
chine use a piece of tissue paper be
tween tho iron nnd tho right side. The
tucks can bo seen and at tho samo
time protected.
When next cooking bacon try put
ting It in n sieve and pouring boiling
water over it. Then cover for n few
moments with cold water, drying tho
bacon on n cloth beforo putting it into
tho sizzling frying pan.
v. K
A useful little artlclo is an oven
sign, made of a piece of cardboard, on
which is written, "inquire Within."
Attach a string to tills cardboard. If
you put anything in the oven hang tho
sign on tho door handle. It will pre
vent many turned dishes.
It is possible to havo smooth hands
even if one is housekeeper and dish
washer. Dissolve a spoonful of trnga
canth, which can bo obtained from any
druggist for a very small sum, in three
times as much water. Let it stand' in
a covered cup for twelvcf 'hours. Fill
the cup with watfeV and apply.
DONT TURN UP YOUR NOSE
AT SARDINES.
Why is It that the sardine is
spoken of tightly as a food to bo
eaten only when moro doslrablc
faro fails? Recently a para
graph hi nn English scientific
magazine spoke of the food
value of Uw sardine, of tho fact
that sardines seldom Buffered
deterioration from the tinning
process and that tho only adul
teration possible in these sar
dines is tho substitution of other
fish, often minnows, and other
oil for tho sardines nnd oil gen
erally used to preserve them.
These ndulteranta are harmless
In fact nourishing ond so ore
not to bo dreaded. Tbo higher
price paid for tho better quality
of sardines usually insures tho
genuine sardine. Sardines have
other good points. They are
cheap. Nobody can gainsay that
They are not distressingly rich,
and tliose who like them seldom
grow tired of them. They can
bo prepared in many different
ways without much trouble.
Lastly, doesnt the popular com
ment "Packed like sardines"
suggest that these fish must bo
always given In good measure?
For baked sardines roll drain
ed sardines in fine cracker
crumbs, and sprinkle them with
lemon juice. Then bake them
in the oven until they are thor
oughly heated, about fifteen
minutes. While they are in the
oven make a good tomato sauce,
flavored with onion juieo, and
slices of thin, whole wheat bread
toast Put tho fish on tho toast
and pour tho hot sauco over
them. Serve at once.
Sardines can be made Into a
delicious salad. To do this bono
nnd skin tho sardines and mix
them with an equal nmount of
cream cheese, naive sweet pep
per shells and remove pith and
seeds. Wash nnd dry them and
put them on lettuce leaves. Into
each shell put some of tho sar
dine and cheese mixture, nnd
moisten it lightly with French
dressing.

THE BEST NEWSPAPER
WE EVER READ.
Wo recommend Tho 1'lillndelpliin
Sunday Record to nil lligh-Grado
Homo Lovers.
It is seldom that there comes to
us a paper we can praise as whole
some and clean In every respect,
but The Philadelphia Sunday Rec
ord certainly deserves its title as
"the greatest home newspaper of
all."
It has feature pages for every
member of tho family. We wero
surprised at the variety and scope of
its articles. The best artists and
authors each week contribute some
of the work that has made them
famous.
The story that Interested us the
most concerned an old barn near

many years ago that we are ashamed
to tell.
It is just this clean, human in
terest touch that makes The Phila
delphia Sunday Record a favorite
everywhere, particularly in the coun
try. Best of ali, n costs only three
cents. You had better do as we did
order next Sunday's copy today
and bo sure of getting It.
