    Miss Ethel Roosevelt.
Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the Presi
dent's youngest- daughter, is the
happy possessor of a horse and trap.
She has always, been a lover of out
door sports and life In the saddle,
but this is her first venture as 'a
whip, at least to handle the ribbons
over the back of her own horse.
The animal is a high spirited, good
looking sorrel, seven years old, and
named Hempstead, after a village
on Long Island. The trap is a high
one, dark blue and shining.
Miss Roosevelt has her own groom,
who takes the horse around to the
White House almost every afternoon
for her. New Haven Register.
Easier to Lean Than to Lift.
"It is a strange fact that the most
buoyant young person cannot offset
the depressing tendency of a single
older one. How much less, then,
can one young person counterbalance
two elders? It is about all two
youthful persons can do to overcome
the downward trend of one old man
or woman. One might think the
younger would have the stronger in
fluence, but such, unfortunately, is
not the case. It is more difficult to
lift than to bear down. One young
couple of my acquaintance has three
elderly persons under its roof. The
result is that both man and wife

Jenny Lind's Tlcty.
Jenny Llnd, who, as yesterday's
Office Window recorded, gave her
first 2000 to the poor, continued
throughout her life a series of chari
ties and pieties, in regard to the lat
ter, we have the assurance of a
friend that this greatest of singers
deliberately cut short her own public
career while her voice was still in
perfection. It was Lady Taylor (wife
of the author of. "Philip van Arte

toward evening on a south-coast
beach, Just after her withdrawal,
with a book in her lap. She spoke
of her resolve. "I found that this"
Canned Peach Recipes. Peach Salad Drain the peaches
and wipe each one dry. Arrange on white lettuce, and put a
little mayonnaise in the heart of each one; add a little
whipped cream to this, if you have it.
Peach Melba Simmer the poaches in thick syrup; drain
them and arrange on plates. Make a quart of vanilla ice

Or, stand each peach first on a round of stale sponge-cake.
Peach Shortcake Drain the peaches and slice them as

Overdoing Your Duty.
It 1b a wise woman who knows
where to draw the line on just how
much duty requires her to do in this
world. It is really not helpful to
yourself or to others to do more than
your share under any circumstances.
There are women who always tell
you how tired they are, and how
much they have to do and how littlf
time they have for the really pleas
ant things of life.
If they are young, they wish they
had time for the theatre or. a little
social event. If they are married
they wish they had the energy to be
clever and bright when their hus
bands are not at home in the even
ing, or to see something of the girl
friends they had to give up.
TWy sigh ever all the missed joys
with the remark, "If I only didn't
have so much to do to keep me from
all these happy things."
It you will make these women sit
down and analyze what it is that
keeps them , from ah the pleasant
things, it almost always turns out te
be that, they are overdoing their duty.
!They give hours to a thing that,
wbeu accomplish? '., doesn't amount
to much and could well have been
put upon other shoulders. They
make other people dependent upon
them by the way in which they rush
into unloading the burdens off shoul
ders which are well able to carry
them.
They are too tired, for Instance, to
be amusing to their husbands In the
evening, because they have spent
hours In a hot kitchen trying to per
fect some special dish which these
husbands like.
Then, when the other half, who
likes a companion as well as a cook,
tells them so, and tries to argue them
out of this overdoing, they burst into
tears. New York Times.
Loam to Smile.
If half the girls knew how Billy
they looked and sounded when they
constantly giggle they would stop It.
Learn to smile; not giggle.
' Nothing is more infectious and
charming than a good laugh; but
very few people know how to laugh.
It is eg rare in life r.s it Is on the
stage.
A giggle usually comes from ner
vousness. A girl will giggle when
she cannot thlnl: of anything to Bay
or when she is trying to be at ease
in company.
She will giggle when a boy meets
her and says "Good morning." She
will giggle when he says "Good-bye."
She Is only nervous, but she appears
silly.
It Is no wonder that young men
speak with utter t:rn of this gig
gling girl. They seem to think her
the least attractive maiden on earth;
it Is trying to attempt to hold any
kind of conversation with a girl who
will punctuate ber every remark with
giggles.
It is not always possible to know,
at first thought, whether or not you
are one of the girls who giggle. Stop
and think about it. Watch yourself
the next time you are with any one.
See whether this senseless trick is
a part of your social equipment. If
It is take any heroic means to
strangle that giggle until It is dead.
Far better be silent; you may then
get the credit for wisdom that you
have not got. Better than all, if you
don't know how to give a cheery,
musical, spontaneous laugh, then try
your best to learn how to smile.
Do not let yourself give a weary
smile, for that is th9 result of effort
and self-consciousness; but anything
is better than a silly giggle. New
Haven Register.

Blue flax (Instead of cotton) is
used in embroidering a frock of white

So popular is gold us a trimming

The noisy waistcoat and hat are

The first gummed postage stamp
was issued about 1S4Q,
New York City. Simple blouses
are those apt to be In demand at this
season of the year, and this one is
novel and attractive, while it Involves
very little labor in the making. There
Is the centre-front, or vest-like por
tion, which gives a distinctly novel
effect, while It also allows of the In-
visible closing at the left of the front,
and there are kimono sleeves which
can be used or not as liked. In the
Illustration linen is trimmed with sou
tache braid and with banding of por
celain blue, this use of color on white
being one of the notable features of
the season.
The blouse Is made with fronts,
centre-front and back. The fronts
are tucked for their entire length,
the outermost tucks meeting those In
the back, and It Is beneath these
tucks that the kimono sleeves are
attached. The centre-front is simply
arranged over the fronts and is
hooked into place beneath the left
edge, the fronts meeting at the centre
beneath. The sleeves are ot moderate
fulness and gathered into straight
cuffs. There is a prettily Bhaped belt
and the stock collar completes the
neck edge.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is four and one
four yards twenty-one, wenty-four or
thirty-two, two and three-fourth
yards forty-four inches wide, with
four yards of banding and soutache,
according to design used.
Band of Colored Linen.
A novel piece of neckwear consists
of a band of colored linen that sur
rounds the lower part of the white
linen collar, meets at the front and
falls from there to the belt, being
closed all the way down with white
pearl buttons and forming a waistcoat
effect when the suit coat is buttoned.
Braid Embroider,
A soft peach colored cloth was em
broidered with braid ot precisely the
same tone. The braiding made a pat
tern across the front in panel shape
all the way, up to the neck, while the
same trimming was used at each side
and in the middle of the back.

The Empire train is the newest de
velopment in evening and reception
gowns.
Imported Coats.
Vagueness of outline Is perhaps the
most impressive feature of Imported
coats.
Attached Collars.
It is quite the fashion now to put
the turnover collar into the neck
band. This sounds extravagant, but
If the sleeve Is long the turnover
cuff, which is always attached, soils
as easily as the collar and necessi
tates the shirt waist going to tha

. Pointed Tunic With Skirt.
The- tunic drapery ts one of the
very latest decrees of fashion and is
really exceedingly graceful and very
generally becoming when cut on such
lines as those illustrated. It Is gen
erally classic In effect and it drapes
the figure with real grace, while It is
adapted to every material that will
drape successfully. This one is ar
ranged over a closely fitted Bklrt that
ts finished with a circular flounce at
the lower edge. As Illustrated the
material Is crep de Chine with trim
ming of applique in self color.
The skirt consists of the tunic, the
circular flounce and the Ave gores ot
the under portion'. The gores fit the
figure snugly and the circular flounce
Is joined to their lower edge. The
tunic is on one piece and is fitted by
means of darts at the hips, while It
is arranged over the skirt and the two
are Joined to the belt. If walking
length is desired, both skirt and tunic
can be cut off on indicating lines.
The quantity ot material required
for the medium size is eight yards
twenty-seven, six and one-fourth
yards forty-four or four and five
eighth yards fifty-two Inches wide,
with nine yards of applique for tunic
and flounce; three and one-fourth
yards twenty-one. one and flve-elehth
yards thirty-six inches wide for the
upper portion of the skirt.
The New Sleeve. -Big
at the armhole and tight at
the wrist is the latest decree for it.'
When pleated the sleeve has the ef
fect of a folding water cup.
Very frequently the armhole Is so
wide that its lower edge Is even with
the waist.

Value of LiiUc Savings;
The order of the Postmaster-General
that, owing to the advance in the
price of juto, less string must be used
in the tying up of packages by postal
employes, and that twine must be
saved and used twice, when it is pos
sible, may seem to inculcate a small
economy, but it is the economies in
small things that count in a service
so great as that of a Government de
partment. In the ordinary affairs of
life a conscientious man will be more
careful in the use of materials be

which are his own property; when it
comes to the public service, however,
one must be more than "Indifferent
