For and
Til Whltf House Wedding;.
NTEREST in the approaching mar
riage of Mlaa Alice Roosevelt and
Hon. Nicholas Longworth of Cin
cinnati (trows keener as the data
approaches, and affairs of state
at the White House are overshadowed by
preparations for the happy event. The
bride-to-be and Mr. Longworth are now
receiving the customary social farewells to
1 single blessedness, and the time of both
la occupied with dinner parties, receptions
I and banquets.
Much Is published about the bridal trous
seau and the wedding gifts. It Is hard to
say how much of this la a fact, how much
is fiction. Naturally, great secrecy on the
subject Is maintained In knowing quarters,
but enough hints have been dropped to
Justify several good guesses.
The main fact that Is known about the
gowns in Miss Alice's trousseau Is that
thoy will nearly all of them be built on
the princess model. This Is a model which
he considers most becoming to her, and
one which she has affected, especially of
late, as auitable to her lithe, slender fig
ure. It Is positive that most of her cos
tumes, and especially the large number of
ball gowns that are Included In her trous
seau, will be built on princess lines.
The four gowns ordered from Washing
ton tailors are two reception gowns,, a tea
gown and a street dress. They are de
scribed as follows:
No. J For Receptions Made In empire
princess style, slightly draped under the
arms; material Is heavy white oriental
taffeta with Irregular sprays of white
cherry blossoms. The embroidery extends
around the bottom of the skirt and at the
left side of the bodice and on' the aleevea.
The sleeves are elbow length, the neck Is
cut round, finished with a lace bertha.
Which is draped up from the left side.
No. 2 Tea Quwn Muonllgtit-Llue oriental
silk, In' empire style; the bolero Is of
oriental embroidery fastened at the left
side with a huge knot of ribbon with a
low round neck, finished or edged with soft
luce; the elbow sleeves are embroidered
at the tup of the puffs and finished with a
cuff of embroidery and narrow frill of
lace. A broad band of embroidery extends
the full length of the front, while another
extends around the bottom of the Bkirt,
the bands edged with similar embroidery.
N. 3 Street Dress Pongee silk with
oriental embroidery; the bodice is made
with the bolero Jacket trimmed around the
edges with a band of embroidery edged on
both sides with a narrow knlfe-pleatlng of
silk. Beneath this Is a wide girdle effect
formed of folds of the silk fastened a lit
tle to the left side with large buttone; the
sleeves extend to a little below the elbow,
having double puffs with two bands of em
broidery; around the bottom of the skirt
the embroidery extends at Irregular
heights; with this Is worn a waist of lin
gerie. No. 4 Reception Gown Heavy white
silk cut low In the neck, where It Is
trimmed with a bertha of rare lace; the
sleeves droop off the Bhouldcr Into a puff
finlnhed with a band of lace just above the
elbow. The feature of this gown Is the
wonderful embroidery of butterflies In
every delicate hue these cluster thickly
about the hem, scattering upward In dif
ferent sizes and becoming thicker again on
the bodice; the small ones are embroidered
flat on the material, while tho large ones
have only their bodies fastened to the silk,
while the wings hang loose.
Some of the Wedding; Gifts.
The Cuban congress has appropriated
125,000 for a gift to the president's daughter.
Franco will send a work of art, probably
a Sevres vase, from the government fac
tory.
Friends of the bridegroom have pur
chased a team of Kentucky thoroughbreds,
Tattersalls and Mate, for a wedding pres
ent. The team cost about 115,000.
One of the finest presents any American
bride has ever received will go to her from
New York and It will be the gift of Mr.
James Stlllman. He has had It especially
made for her. It Is a pitcher three feet tn
height made from the design and is one of
the moBt magnifloent gifts ever presented
to a bride.
Two other Btiperb gifts will come from the
ambassador to Great Britain and Mrs.
Whltelaw Reld and from Secretary of
State and Mrs. Root.
Ambassador Reld secured In London one
of the costliest and most magnificent dog
collars of pearls and diamonds and worthy
Of being presented to the president s daugh
ter by one of her father's warmest admir
ers.
Many beautiful presents will come from
Boston relations and intimate friends of
Miss Alice from Mr. and Mrs. Oeorge Lee,
her grandparents, her uncles and aunts
and cousins.
Clough Anderson, a cousin of the bride
groom-elect, will give the couple a souvenir
of the trip to the orient. He was with the
party. The famous Rookwood pottery,
which was founded by Mr. Longworth's
aunt, Mrs. Bellamy Btorer, and which was
one of the earliest producers of artistlo
pottery In the United States, la sending a
magnificent vase of the rare Rookwood
'tiger eye."
Mrs. Buckner Walllngford, Mr. Long
worth's sister, also will send a gift of an
artistlo nature,
A Krag-Jorgensen rifle, made of solid
tweuty-two-karat gold, of full else. Is be
ing finished by expert workmen In the For
est Hill plant of .Tiffany's, and is to be a
wedding giit from the officers of the United
States army to Miss Alice Boone veil.
In the same shop a maguiticunt silver
service is being finished. It has been or
dered fur Miss Roosevelt by the Rough
Riders' association. .
At the city shop of TifTHny's workmen
are engaged night aud day, under the di
rection of Superintendent von Posal, on a
bewildering array of jewels which friends
of Miss Roosevelt are having set in special
designs as wedding gifts for the daughter
of the president.
In design and workmanship, as well as
In value, these jewels, which are only a
few of the gifts Miss Roosevelt will re
ceive, are said to equal anything ever
turned out for either prince or commoner.
They represent the highest art of the
Jeweler, and the earth had been ransacked
j to secure the precious stones which are
J being imbedded in the love designs.
One of the handsomest is a pearl collar
of ten strands, the largest ever made by
Tiffany, and worth $31,000. A diamond tiara,
containing ECO stones, is another, and there
are also two diamond collars and two bow
' knots of diamonds.
The names of the persons who present
these gifts to Miss Roosevelt are being

About the Women Folks
kept a close secret, but It haa been learned
that at least two of the gifts, two dlajuund
lockets, are being made for Secretary of
War William H. Taft. Mlsa Carew, sister
of Mrs. Roosevelt, is also having some
jewelry made, a is Mrs. Douglas Robin
son, sister of the president. Most of the
gifts are being made for well known per
sons living In New York, Washington and
Ohio.
While kings and emperors are sending to
tho bride costly silver and ohtna, ths tokens
from Mlsa Roosevelt's friends will be rather
primitive In comparison, but these are the
ones ahe will prise. Miss Roosevelt Is sig
nally loyal to her friends, and while the
newspapers have been making much of the
proposed gift of this or that foreign ruler
the president's daughter has been thinking
of those who are nearer and dearer tq her.
Many of Miss Alice's girl friends are mak
ing their own gifts. Miss Roosevelt herself
is unusually tasteful and adept with her
needle, and nearly every girl In hor set
makes her own dainty linen. Nestling
among the costly and attractive bits of
lingerie which Miss Roosevelt has chosen
as s part of her trousseau and which In
cludes many Imported pieces, are many
Simpler but daintily made garments which
have come to her from close friends.
Miss Roosevelt will go out from tbe
White House generously endowed with
Jewels. No matter what this collection may
represent, there will hardly be anything
she prises more than the handsome dia
mond necklace given her Christmas by the
president. Miss Roosevelt wears this
proudly and calls everybody's attention
t? It.
Work for Brainy Women.
Making inventories of the contents of
Wealthy folks' houses is the work of flvo
clever young women In New York City
who earn on an average of J100 a month,
often more. It Isn't that the work Is alto
gether new. Only the cleverest girls can
do the work. Four out of 100 is the average
number selected from those who apply.
When asked by a New York Bun reporter
what are the qualifications necessary for
a woman to become expert at the business
the young man who directs the work
tersely responded, "Brains."
"Nor Is this all," he went on, half smlp.
Ingly, but bltlpg his words off In a manner
that Indicated that he meant what he said.
"She must not only be endowed with brains,
but she must use them.
"It seems to me that nine out of every ten
girls, go through life with their eyes shut.
They might be stone blind for all the knowl,
edge they retain.
"If one of my assistants Is called upon
to classify a leather divan she must know
whether It Is pebble or calf and the reason
why, Hardwood may be of any of a dozen
or more varieties. She must be able to
recognize It by the color, the grain and the
quality and so record It.
"One woman may think herself to be an
expert on rugs. To her notion a rug la
either Turkish or Persian or the product
of some other country.
"But that won't do. She must have suffi
cient knowledge of rug lore to tell from
whnt provlnee a rug comes.
"In short, she must be an expert on no
end of things and be as ready to classify
a rare old Ivory carving as a Tombola laoe
bedspread. She must know art from A to
Z and nave her knowledge at her fingers'
ends when wanted,"
Although the requirements are severe,
the girls who succeed enjoy the work Im
mensely, A day s eight hours, allowing
an hour for luncheon, the girls presenting
themselves for duty at 9 a. m. and leaving
at 5 p. m,
At all times they are surrounded with
beautiful objects of art, for none but the
wealthiest folk can afford to have the
work done as the fee Is $3fl a day and the
work of Inventorying one house will lake
anywhere from one to throe weeks and In
the case of a man who owns several homes
the work may extend over several months.
Care of Spinsters and Widows.
A veritable "old maid's paradise" is lo
cated at Bcituate, Mass., reports the Boston
Globe, That ancient South Shore town
bears the distinction of possussinir a fun.l
or wnicn the proceeds are dunated tn tha
care of dependent maiden ,.,.
So far as tha Scltuate selectmen know
there is not a life fund under the super,
vision of a town anywhere in the state,
More than a quarter of a century ago
Miss Eliza Jenkins decided that women
approaching the sere and yellow leaf of
life, who had, like herself, remained single
from ohoice or otherwise, should be pro
vided for when they became dependent
wholly upon themselves. The Idea of an
old folks home In Scltuate was at that
time entirely out of the question. Miss
Jenkins straightway did the next thing
and left a fund of $3,000, the Interest of
which Is yearly distributed among the
worthy maidens of the town.
The Jenkins fund has always been In
charge of the selectmen. In the lust few
years they have placed about $20 each In
the hands of half a dozen persons. This
odd fund has benefited persons In Scltuate
for so many years that the townspeople
have come to regard It as a very common
Institution; It is available only for na
tive born women, and this is about tha
only restriction its donor made.
Many a person has been helped In tha
last twpnty-tlve years, to pay off a mortguge
buy fuel for the winter months or purchase
seeds for the spring planting through this
fund. The selectmen know pretty nearly
everyone In the town and it is compara
tively easy for thorn to discriminate be
tween the worthy and unworthy.
Soop after Miss Jenkins thoughtfully pro
vided for the "old maids," another maiden
woman, MIbs Lucy Thomas, originated the
idea of a similar fund for widows. She
left $1,000, also under the cars of the select
men, for native born widows. Interest has
been drawn from this fund nearly as many
years as from the Jenkins fund.
Hardships of Working- Girls.
In pointed language, winch was in no
manner subdued, Mrs. J. U. Phelj s tatokes
'tvil Bunday painted the misery and hard
ships of New York's 3uo,ouo working girls
o a congregation that filled the Bautist
church of the tplphany. Her sermon was
directed at the thoughtless rich of the
metropolis and was particularly effective
because of the fact that the speaker had
spent twelve years of toil in a cigar fac
tory as the support of a large family.
Among other things, she said:
"To be happy where all is fair, Just and
good is an easy thing; to be bappy where
Injustice and wrong prevail is Impossible.
The average working girl's body and soul
function are not merely under constraint,
but the conditions amid which she works
are usually so unjust and so inimical to
healthy growth and development of mind
and body and spirit, that iustead of indif
ference to them her whole being, if she is
a girl of depth of feeling, cries out against
their injustice,
"What Is most needed here is the awak
ening of a larger sense of Justice in those
who control and maintain the bauerul con
ditions under which the working girl must
work if she would not starve.
"All possible Joy Is generally excluded
from the workshop by the rigid rules
against talk among the workers. This In
sistence on attention to business is re
quired, but It is usually carried so far
that life becomes mere monotonous
drudgery,
"On ths shoulders of the employing and
propertied classes must lie nine-tenths of
the responsibility for the weakened
physiques, and the Impoverished constitu
tions which lead to the appalling preva
lence of death from needless and prevent
able causes. Shorter hours, fairer wages
and kindlier and more human considera
tion are the working girls' needs."
During the course of the sermon Mrs.
Stokes referred to "some women who wore
diamonds and are indifferent aa to the
source of the money that bought them,"
when Mrs. Frederick Nathan arose and as
sured the speaker that the Jewelry trade
was one In which the best conditions pre
vailed and declared that If nobody wore
jewelry there would be no work for those
employed there now,
"X don't object to women wearing Jew
elry when they work for the money with
which to buy It. No rich person has a right
to acoept dividends without knowing some
thing of ths conditions out of which they
spring," said Mrs. Stokes, as she closed her
remarks. '
Cars of Hardwood Floors.
"When you buy a house," said a man
who represents a Chicago manufactory that
makes hardwood floors, "examine the floors
carefully; It may save you many days of
trouble. If carpenters would be careful to
see that hardwood Moors are perfectly
driver, together there'd be fewer worried
housewives In this land of ours. Hardwood
flooring should be kiln dried and the build
ing tn which it Is laid should be thor
oughly dry, too. Too many persons Insist
on moving Into houses too soon; they don't
give the building time to dry out and the
result Is that all the rest of life Is filled
with sorrow and complaining.
"We positively discourage the use of oils
on maple floors, as It has a tendency to
discolor the wood and make It look dirty
and greasy. If a finished floor is dcg(red
we suggest applying two light coats of
varnish. Should the gloss of a varnish
floo not be desirable, rub the floor lightly
with a, good rubbing oil and pumlne stone
With ft piece of burlap. Then wipe dry and
the gloss will have disappeared, leav
ing a dull finish, which Is desired by many.
"All floors should be gone over from time
to time and .touched up. In the regular
housecleaning the housekeeper should pin a
soft cloth over her broom, wetting the cloth
and wringing It out eo the dust will adhere
to It, hut be sure to go over the floor with
a dry cloth afterward. In ease some dirt
adheres to the floor use lukewarm water
and soap, being particular to cleanse It off
as quickly as possible and wipe dry. For
removing stains use a cloth saturated with
turpentine or benzine. If the floor looks
dull get, at small cost, some floor reviver,
saturate a cloth with It, wring out half
dry and rub the floor with it and you'll
get the desired result."
' Mr. Tucker says the Idea, once popular,
of having different kinds of wood In a
floor has been superseded. The finest floor,
ha says, Is that laid with one kind of wood,
highly polished. It Is considered "better
taste."
Frills of Fashion.
Eollenrs has loBt none of its charm, nor
Is It likely to while the mode of clinging
naterlals lasts. The new enllennes have
uln background with lovely flower doslgns
In two tones
It Is perfectly safe to buy princess or
empire models In gowns and wraps, or to
have them mqde up, since there is no indi
cation of tlther muuVbecoming passe within
g reasonable time.
The long coat suit has evidently gone
where the old moons go. As soon us spring
comes, the short, Jaunty ooat, the bolero
and Eton, will hold full sway, If advance
styles are to be believed.
The elbow sleeve has called into existence
a Un? fur or fleece-lined glove, which Is
very comfortable to wear with thin blouses,
especially when one is so foolish as to make
Utile or no change in the weight of unde
wear in winter.
The wash materials already shown are
wonderfully beatiful and grHlifyingly inex
p.nthe The sway of white in wash
gowns is a thing of the past. We are to
wear colors tins year, the loveliest pinks,
blues, yellows, imiuves and greens, espec
ially In cottons. Of all the new fabrics,
cut ton voiles lead in attractiveness.
The lingerie hat Is seen In renewed glory
and in several novel combinations. These
hats, with parasols to match, are good In-
vestments, since they launder and wear
unA av Uildenlable
air of style
and richness. The touch of color Is not
omitted In these creations. Many of the
parasols have printed borders in colors,
presumably to match the ribbon or velvet
(.actuations on the hats.
The milliners have done wonders in mak
ing fur hats graceful and becoming. Of
old, they made a women look like a drum
major, being little more than huge, conical
caps. Nowadays they are toques, turbans
and small hats In every variety of shapes
and are trimmed Just enough to give them
"a pretty f-m nine air, The favorite decora
tion Is an aigrette fastened to the side with
a knot of velvet, ouu or two large velvet
roses, or a short ostrich plume,
The spring colors, so far as seen, are very
cool and nuiet In tone, the grays, mauves,
suft. yellows and shades of green and blua
remi.vt.il from brilliancy being conspicuous.

make a defense or answer intelligibly ques

the Judge said; "Where du you live?" and
the Intelligible reply, ."About five minutes

home and fetch your wife, and run a little
quicker than you talk." It was done and
the wife's clear and businesslike statement

involved In walking from one room to an
other; he was a hearty eater, with a marked
weakness for such appetizing tilings as hot
buttered rolls (he always had them for
breakfast) and roast pork, and he coulj
make away with a bottle of port wine after
dinner. And yet he never had a day's Ill
ness during all these years, was the picture
of health and full of spirits and energy and
he lived to enjoy a hearty meal on his lO&tb,
blrthduy.
A dispatch In a California paper ' that
"one of the heaviest pogonlps that has pre
vailed In western Nevada for years" has
been hanging over Carson. "Pugonlp" Is
the Indian name for a peculiar fog that oc
casionally visits the Nevada mountain
country In the winter months. The sun Is
obscured, usually during the entire day,
and sometimes for days, while the air Is
charged with a heavy fog In which fine
particles of snow seem to be flying. Al
though the temperature may not be low In
tense cold is felt on account of the un
usual humidity that prevails. The Indians
greatly fear "pogonlps."
