PRESIDENT’S WIFE
SERVES MILK TOAST
AT AFTERNOON TEA
The Five O'clock Brew Has Be
come a Social Necessity in
Washington.
Washington, D. C. Fob. "Do away
with the <» o’clock tea table and you will
eliminate the most distinctive feature of
Washington social life,” recently declared
a woman who has lived In the atmosphere
of officialdom throughout several succes
sive administrations. Coincident with the
advent of the Pauncefotes, whose regime
at the British embassy evokes the happiest
memories, the 5 o’clock tea still lingers
among the “seasoned” members of Wash
ington’s socially elect.
Invariably one of the ever popular
Pauncefote girls was in attendance in the
drawing room at the appointed hour,
should Lady Pauncefote herself be absent,
and always one or two of the younger
secretaries would assist. A feature of the
Pauncefote teas was nothing Jess than a
huge tureen of piping hot milk toast—a
delicious dish made of well-browned,
crisped bread, over which was poured a
creamy mixture of boiled sweet milk, sea
soned with a dash of nutmeg and a taste
of sugar.
The bread was cut in small squares and
each guest was regaled with a platter of
milk toast, or, if she preferred, the usual
little cakes or thin bread and butter, aup
plemented by good thick slices of English
plum cake were at her disposal. Uninter
ruptedly the fame of the tea at the British
embassy has been maintained, but mean
time other aspirants for tea-table honors
have appeared. Ever since Mrs. Roose
velt went into the White House the 5
o’clock tea table has been In daily serv
ice.

Mrs. Roosevelt Is another hostess who
serves milk toast at her informal after
noons. On the occasions of her “set" days
a certain ceremony obtains, but Mrs.
Roosevelt’s intimates know well when to
And her, and, surrounded by her special
coterie the wife of the president presides
at the table, brews the tea and serves the
guests without the assistance of the
maids.
Mrs. Longrworth also is a devotee of the
afternoon cup. Mrs. Longworth draws
about her the liveliest men and women
of the smart set. Placed in the corner of
the drawing room of the home in I street
stands a beautifully arranged table and
at one end rises a steaming samovar, for
tea at the Longworth domicle is served
a la Rusee. Sometimes a good friend will
be at her side, but most times Mrs. Long- j
worth presides alone, the indispensable
butler, wrho is a personage to consider in ,
the househld, keeping a vigilant eye on
the progress of the feast. Guests tell of
wonderfully toothsome sandwiches and
palatable confections, and from time to
time crisp bon mots which have had their

THE BEST WAY TO
ARRANGE THE HAIR
Hairdressing Should Be Prop
erly Studied and Mads
the Most Of.
, . I
■ ■ ■ ■—
Parisians consider that the hair has
more to do with the expression of the
face as a whole than any other feat
ure, and they also hold that no one
can be unattractive if she possesses
beautiful hair. But, given this asset
of beauty, it should be properly studied
and made the most of. The masculine
type of woman, who runs to severely
cut tailor mades, should never part her
hair on the side, though she frequently
■does. The only type of face that is
shown to advantage by the parting of
the hair in the center la the straight
nosed, full-browed, oval face—a type
commonly recognized as Grecian.
A woman whose nose has an upward
turn should confine herself to the high
coiffure, as this gives a piquant effect
The coronal plait is often becoming to
her. In fact, it Is the coiffeuse’s idea
that when one is in doubt as to the
hair arrangement it is safe to use the
coronal plait. This may be safely ar
ranged so as to impart the Impression
of height when required, or of breadth
and in all cases it adds an air of dig
nity which is almost invariably be
coming.
Influenced by Costumes.
The style in hairdressing is generally
influenced by the costumes of the per
iod.
Though much is said by poets about
the beauty of a woman’s brow, there
are few foreheads that can afford to go
unadorned. An effect which brings the
front hair forward, allowing it to rest
in studied carelessness until it nearly
meets the eyebrows, is a relief for the
skin that is none too smooth or white
after the first flush of youth has
passed. However, care should be taken
not to have too much hair on the blow.
The success of one's face depends
more than is gcnerallly appreciated up
on the manner in which the tresses
are arranged about the head. The sil
houette is altogether changed by the
lowering or heightening of the mass of
hair. Generally speaking, a woman
with high cheek bones and moderately
full face looks well with her hair
dressed high and drawn up rather nar
rowly from the ears. Naturally, a
high forehead will avoid the pompa
dour, and this style of dressing Is most
unbecoming to the heavy featured
woman of the Spanish type, unless well
i drawn forward and Irregular.
The Short Woman.
Some faces are set off by a care
less arrangement, others require strict,
neatness and only the Individuals can
settle which is her type. A short wom
an may add several inches to her
height if she likes to dress her hair
high. And the woman with the Roman
nose may adopt the extremely low or
the extremely high coiffure and be
sure that this gives her a classical
profile. The knot in the middlo of the
back of the head makes the measur
ing line from the tip of the nose to
the back of the head very long.
No matter what care is expended on
the dressing of the hair, the result will
after a time be satisfactory unless the
hair Is not kept In good condition.
It is surprising how many women
devote willingly two hours or there
about dally to their general toilet, and
will begrudge a quarter of an hour
a day to the actual care of the head
Brushing and combing smoothly and
massaging the scalp are said to be all
that the hair requires. Coarse brushes
are recommended, for they are sup
posed to stimulate the scalp and to
cut out the dead or half dead strands.
Wrecked.
A large and robust Irishwoman ap
peared in a New York court recently
to prosecute a case In which her hus
band was charged with having beaten
her. The defendant, a small, stoop
shouldered man, had tho appearanco of
having been run through a threshing
machine, and seemed scarcely able to
stand. The judge surveyed tho two
with an amused light In his eyes.
"You say this man beat you?” ho
asked the woman.
"He did not,” the prosecuting witness
said with emphasis, folding her power
ful arms. “He knocked mo down.”
“You mean to tell me you were
knocked down by that physical wreck?"
the Judge queried.
, ” 'Tls only since he struck mo that
he’s been a physical wreck, your hon

Splendid Opportunities Offered
by Western Canada.
St. Paul, Mlun., February.—Present
Indications are that the Canadian
Northwest will draw an exceptionally
heavy movement of new settlers from
the United States this year. It should
surpass the banner record for 1907.
This Is not only based on the fact
that the Americans have come to re
alize generally that the Canadian
Northwest offers splendid opportuni
ties, but also because the railroads have
awakened to the fact and are offering
rates to the Canadian Northwest which
are exceptionally favorable.
The lines which lead to St. Paul
from the east and south are offer
ing homeseekers’ rates to the Cana
dian Northwest this year which are
on a parity with those In existence to
the southwest for a couple of seasons.
These rates can be obtained from
any agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, who will be pleased to give all
information possible regarding those
districts which offer the greatest In
ducements to settlers. The weather
throughout Western Canada has been
remarkably good this year. A tele
gram from the winter wheat belt of
Southern Alberta dated at Cnrdston,
Alberta, January 29th, says:
“This winter up to January 25th,
was nothing short of a marvel, In fact,
it was the finest anyone can remem
ber for twenty-five years, though there
have been others nearly as good. The
days were One, sunny and warm with
light frosts at night. Overcoats and
gloves, etc., were discarded by most
l>eople In the day time. There was so
little frost In the ground that post
holes could be dug without any trou
ble after the tlrst inch was broken
through. Winter wheat remained
fresh and green although there has
been no snow since the September
storm. If there is an early spring,
wiuter wheat should gain a great
start.”
Amongst the reports of the yield
last year the following extracts are
taken :
H. Howe, of Magrath, Alta., writing
on November, 1907, says: “I have 70
acres in crop, 50 acres of wheat and
7 acres of oats. My average yield of
oats was 35 bushels to the acre, and of
wheat 45 bushels. The value to me
was $35 per acre.”
J. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes
In November: “1 had G5 acres in win
ter wheat which went 00 bushels to the
acre; oats averaged SO bushels. 1 also
had 12 tons of hay worth $10 per ton.
I got GOO bushels of potatoes from 3
acres of land: I got S tons per acre
from 5 acres of sugar ueets.”
J. F. P'rndshaw. of Magrath, lmd
1,080 acres of winter wheat ’ast year
which averaged 39% bushels to the
acrA. The value of his farm products
per acre was: Wheat. $31.00; oats.
$11.20, and barley, $25.15.

Jealous of Whom?
From Tit-Bits.
A young married man of extremely
jealous disposition recently visited one
of the most famous mediums in Lon
don. Being far from home he wanted
to know what his wife was doing.
“She Is looking out of the window,
evidently expecting some one."
“That Is strange," said Benedick.
“Whom can she expect?"
"Some one enters the door and sha
caresses him fondly," went on tha
medium.
"It can’t be!” cried the excited hus
band. "My wife is true to me."
“Now he lays his head on her'lap and
looks tenderly In her eyes.”
“It’s false! I’ll make you pay dearly
for this!" yelled the jealous husband.
“Now he wags his tail," said tha
medium.
The green eyed monster subsided and
the young husband cheerfully paid over
his consulting fee.
