the trace of a very eventful year was
written unmistakably into his lace and
physique. lpeci;iliy did he show th-.
stress anj travail whi'-h he has imder
giie during the last five years. To
day, apparently without a care in the
world, he loks less than fifty. 1 1 is air
of austere reserve has melted away,
and he is all graciousriess. Nobody can
dou'.-t that innler the intluei.e of the
simple, gra ioiis. companionable wo
man he has won. "the year's at tlu

oped an enthusiasm in his courtship
that proved a delight and surprise for
those who thought they knew him lt.

The dining room, the scene of the
wedding feast, is one of the most in

long mahogany table, an heirloom in
the bride's family, has been jo!ished
to ultra brightness. The old fashioned
buffet is laden with gifts of scores
of friends and with the hand wrought

functions more brilliant than those
which will be held iu the White House
after the return of the president and
his bride from their honeymoon. She
is a gracious and brilliant eniertainer.
although she has taken little part in
soeiul activities during the past eiht
years. Of course there will be trouble
in arranging the diplomatic dinners le
catie of the EuroiKm war, but the
president's bride is somewhat of a dii
lomat herself and will find a way out.
Many receptions have leon planned,
and Washington society is rejoicing.
Washington has often noted with
complimentary phrases the bride's ;
taste in dress. Iler friends hae al
ways remarked her ability to dress
distinctively and becomingly. Hack of
this ability lies a talent cultivated in
the girlhood days. Money was not
overabundant in the ISolliu? family.
There was enough to give everybody
the education due the standing of an
old and influential Virginia family, but

cash to buy trousseaux ad lib for a
family of girls remarkable for their
lieauty and popularity was not always
available, wherefore Miss Edith Boll
ing began to utilize her gift for line
and form and for color and design.
Twenty-five years ago in Wytheville.
Va.. the new Crst lady as a girl In her
teens developed a great reputation in
the large family connection for her
ability to buy. to cut out. to fit and to
make up divers frocks for divers occa
sions. So. too. with hats. She lias
great skill in the building f a hat. She
can "poise a wing" or twist a ribbon
into a Ikiw with the skill of a trained
I hand.
i Not Fond of Jewelry.
I "She has less jewelry than any inem
Iht of the family," Raid one of the con
nection the other day. "I should say
she had no favorite gem. The opal is
her birthstone and Is seen In the hand
some bodice jewels, brooches or rings
she possesses. She never cared for
"ewe!-;, even as a young girL"
The bride is fond of flowers. No mat
ter what the blossom, its color, its
fragrance, its shape, its size, she Is
fond of flowers. The president's earli
est remembrance took the form of ex-
i uisite clusters of orchids, sometimes
.hite. sometimes yellow, sometimes
mauve. Huge clusters of rich red roses
sometimes replaced the orchids, and
again bunches of lilies of the valley
beautified the smart toilets in which
-he appeared either In public or in the
drawing rooms of her friends.
A few books showed the president's
i bought fulness from time to time.
While not either lookIsh or a "blue
stocking," the bride Is a remarkably
well informed woman. She has made
nine or ten trips to Euroie. and each
time she lias gone she has stopied foi
p"iixN varying from six months to a
i ear. She is keenly observant, and slu
delight in leisurely touring nlout in
unfrequented paths.
A Simple Woman.
"You may take It from me. Edith
never 'Joes anything for effect or be
ause it is considered "the thing to do."
She is In love with the man Woodrow
Wilson. The glamour of the White
House dEd not attract her or influence
her judgment In a matter so Intimate
and vital." was one comment.
This side light is further emphasized
in tiLr manner of traveling. She selects
her route and her companion, makes
her arrangements and sets out sanely.
According to another of her friends,
she is one "of the most alive and vivid
women" imaginable.
An alive and vivid woman she ap
pears in her travels. Two years ago.
with Miss Alice Gertrude Cordon, she
made a tour of Spain not the Spain
of the cities, but the bypaths of the
unfrequented Spain.
Between Miss Gordon and the bride
the warmest friendship exists. Called
to General Gordon's deathbed, her
promise to "look after Gertrude" has
resulted in a devoted friendship ce
mented by long ieriods of travel in far
off lands. Sentimental only is the tie
of "guardianship" which matiy in
Washington, even the closest of friends,
consider exists between Miss Gordon
and the president's helpmate How
ever, so devoted is she to h young
companion "Altrude" (a play on the
given names of Alice Gertrude) that
even her business affairs have many
times received the steadying influence
of her oversight.
Fine "Poor Man's "Wife."
To turn to the purely domestic side,
she Is an excellent housekeeier, and
she has a reputation for retaining not
only the good will but the co-oioration
of her domestics. She herself c an work
out a menu ndmirably, and if the ue
cessity arose she could personally "get
up" a palatable dinner. She is clever
at the Sunday evening supier table a
distinctive feature of southern house
holds), and her handling of the chafing
lmr f--,,-,,.,
.:- ' Avv-A. A A A A
dish on these occasions conduces to
the good digestion which waits on ai
petite. She is a familiar figure In the Wash
ington markets, her" smart little ruu
alout many times being filled with the
more jerishable fruits of her domestic
shopping.
Altogether Bhe would make a "fine
wife for a poor man."
She Is oieu banded and generous, a
devoted church woman and until quite
recently a member of St. Thomas Epis
copal church. She now attends St.
Margaret's, where her brother. Rich
ard Wilmer Boiling, is an usher and
where her mother, Mrs. W. II. Boiling;
her unmarried brother, John Randolph
Boiling, and her sister. Miss Bertha
Boiling, also attend.
Fond of Young People.
"To show the younger contingent a
good time" is one of her attributes.
Not less Is she considerate of the aged.
Many Instances of her looking up the
invalid and elderly and taking them
for drives about the parks are record
ed. The mother of a young southern
woman employed in cne of the govern
ment departments came to visit her
daughter, whom the president's bride
had frequently met. Almost daily
throughout the visit she apieared ei
ther in the afternoon or morning and
acted as cicerone.
As to her accomplishments, the bride,
possessing an avid mind and having
traveled extensively she has passed
some time in every country in Euroie
and has traveled throughout the Unit
ed States, Canada and Alaska is thor
oughly in touch with the thought and
development of the life of the day. She
speaks French well. She is a talented
pianist. Her fine mezzo soprano roice.
while untrained, is admirably suited to
ballad singing. She is fond of singing.
So also is tbe president, who himself
bas a good voice.
Finally she is well poised, "very hu
man" and thoroughly unaffected and
lncere. Not only charmingly pretty,
he hns the distinction of manner and
carriage which will admirably conform
to the role she is 6oon to assume chat
elaine of the White House and first
tady of tbe land.

The kindergarten has recently ad
ded to its equipment a complete set of;
the Schoenhut's kindergarten floor j
blocks, C80 blocks in all. These werej
devised by Miss Patty Hill of Colum-J
bia university to meet the demands j
for large material calling into activity!
the child's body as a whole. They are
of eight different shapes and sizes, the '
largest one yard in length. Their ap- i
peal to young builders is very strong'
since they make possible the construc
tion of playhouses large enough to
enter and bridges strong enough for
childish feet to walk across. j
Quarterly reports have been mailed '
to parents concerning the records of
students during the first quarter. j
A new bulletin has been published '
containing descriptions of the study
center work, correspondence courses
and short courses. The registrar will
be glad to furnish these to anyone in- j
terested. Short courses will begin on
January 24 and continue for nine
weeks. Special classes will be or
ganized in manual training, domestic

Prof. T. C. Smith, head of the de
partment of manual training, was in
Chicago several days last week, where
he attended the National Conference
of Manual Training Supervisors.
Prof. F. M. Gregg spoke before the
Teachers' institutes in Nemaha and
Humboldt on Friday and Saturday.
On Friday evening in the Philo and
Everett halls the Y. W. C. A. enter
tained its members at a "Children's
Xmas Party." The halls were artisti
cally decorated with Christmas decora
tions, including a large Christmas tree
laden down with present. Games and
a short program were enjoyed by all.
Each child received a Christmas stock
ing full of candy, nuts and popcorn.
Prof. F. W. Hoyt, head of the de
partment of physical science, spent
several days last week in Kearney and
Wayne, where he visited the physical
sicence departments of the state nor
mal schools locatd there. It is his pur
pose to put intop ractice in his depart
ment here any suggestions which he
may have been able to gather.
President Hayes, Dean Rouse and
Prof. Delzell attended a meeting of
the Schoolmasters club in Lincoln
Friday evening. From Lincoln Pres
ident Hayes went toChadron to be
present at a meeting of the State
Board of Education.
Mis Anna L. Tibbetts, Miss Iva
Dunn, and Miss Mamie Mutz spent
the week end in Lincoln.
Miss Abba Bowen visited at her
home in Omaha the last of the week.
Arrangements are being made for
a series of debates to be held in Feb
ruary. At that time a squad of de
baters will be chosen to represent the
school in a debate with Kearney nor
mal. Prof. R. D. Overholt suffered a very
severe attack of asthma Friday night,
which kept him confined to his room
for several days. However, he is
again able to be out and will soon be
doing his usual work.

A span of horses belonging to some
farmer became frightened about 1
o'clock Monday and started somewhere
on 3d street, ran around Shannon's
house and across 4th street bridge,
then up Main street. Will Vivian, on
seeing the team coming, turned his
mules down into Waterman's lumber
yard to get out of the way. The "run
ners" turned also, and catching up
with the mules, smashed the rear end
of Will's wagon box with the tongue.
No other damage was done. The horses
were caught by Doc. Jones and driven
out on Main street where the owner
onco more took possession.
From Eagle. Ed. Herald: The old
year is almost gore, and we fellows
of Tipton may well rejoice, for we
boast peace, plenty and good health.
Wheat, spring, average yield about
fourteen bushels per acre. James Ma
son, Esq., informs me that he raised
35 bushels of winter wheat per acre,
variety, grass. Barley, a small acre
age but good yield, 25 to 45 bushels
per acre. Oats almost a failure, early
sewing did the best. Corn till you can
not rest all good quality and averag
ing about 50 bushels per acre. I see
a disposition to build cribs long and
wide, aiming to store while corn is
cheap.
The timothy crop has been threshed
vieldincr 4 to 5 bushels per acre. It and
other tame grasses have done well
where sown.
We see evidences of prosperity on
every hand, houses, barns, bins, cribs
and corrals building. It cannot all be
