THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1908. I i " 11 i Woman'sWorld i MRS. WILLIAM J. BRYAN. The Mistress of Falrview and n Glimpse of Her Home Life. Dorothy Dale In an Interview lias 4he following to say about Mrs. Brynu aind her home: The mistress of Falr--vlew was at homo when I arrived. So -was Mr. Bryan. He came out after :lhe sen-ant to greet mo with: "Mrs. CBrynn decidedly objects to being Inter--vlcwed. She has nothing-Important to say." Pause. "However, a visit Is fllu!erent. Oh. Mnry!" he called, -"Mamma, Mary!" And I understood rwby that voice holds a multitude. Mrs. Bryan came. There was nn .amused twinkle In her gray eyes as :she held out a hand and prefaced by saying that she didn't really need any Introduction to the. people of her coun try. She was by no means a debu tante. That Is Mrs. Bryan's way. She nc- ccpts everything graciously, serenely. Her manner says that If she Is to go to aiKS. W. J. DBYAN AND HER IIOME AT LINCOLN, NED. rthe Whlto House all well and good. .And If she doesn't, why, all well and 3jood. Campaigning Is only one inter esting phase of life, after all. But wherever she goes and whatever sho ..docs sho will always be bigger than the circumstance. Every detail of her .homo life shows that. For instance, a Nebraska hill knows the sun In all his glory. Besides, It Js treeless. But this did not disturb Mrs. Bryan. She planned a house -which, waiting for trees to grow, 'would be comfortable. Then she con sidered the grounds. There were acres "in them, rounding up from the road way far below. A lawn would look bare and stiff, she decided. So alfalfa was sown. And no one who has not seen the ' bushy green growth can appreciate how it softens the vast expanse. The alfalfa also stays green long after fall . has -seared other grasses. Then the porch It Is a masterpiece. flTrom the outside It Is a curving -white heat rcllector with Its panels of glistening windows. But Inside you .oiro introduced Into another world. The house Is red brick. The porch pillars are of red stone. And connecting ihese Is n circular wall of windows, shaded and arranged so that the sun Is kept out and every morning breath of -talr let In. Vines droop from the walls. TVsrns and flowers surround the sup porting pillars. And with the bamboo furnishings and Indian rugs it looks as inviting as a mouutaln grotto. However, Its Invitation is deceptive, for it's n sort of watchtowcr, where n servant keeps guard and detains poli ticians and autograph seekers and the rrest of the dally pilgrimage to Falr tIpw that has some pretest for over tjsiepphig the camera line. The rest of tho house is a gallery of ;art gems and curios. From Mr. Bry fan's study und the dining room, built 'below ground for coolness, to tho gar rot roof there are beautiful gleanings .from tho Occident and orient. The Bryau household Is lurgo. SEverythlng is woll apportioned. Every thing runs smoothly. If people aro ready for meals when meals are ready, very well. Aud if they aro not, why, tho meals wait and no ouo fusses. Tho .servants follow their mistress' lead. To Prevent Fading, An excellent laundress who has jaerer been known to fade a summer ifroek says sho has a special "fixative" Sot every color. Alum used In the rinsing water will prevent green from fading. A handful of salt thrown Into tho rinsing water will set blue. Ox gall is good to use for gray and brown. Hay water made by pouring boiling wnter over hay Is excellent (or washing tan or brown Hnci. A tnblespooiiful of block pepper stirred into tli flrst suds In which cottons are washed will prevent colors from running. Flvo cents' worth of sugar of lead crystals dissolved In o pailful of water .iinakes a solution which Axes tho tost 'P usStr r rsW&P 'i f " i ifoe& Witt of pinks, blues and lavenders. Thfl fabrics should remain In the sugar of lead bath half an hour or so before going to the suds. These baths will not prevent a gar ment from fading If it is hung in the sun to dry. Delicate colors in fact, any colors at all are safe If dried in the house. Vinegar Is useful In reviving colors. Add one teaspoouful of common vine gar to each quart of cold rinsing wa ter. Thoroughly saturate tho article, wring tightly and dry quickly. If tho color has been taken out of silks by fruit stains, ammonia will usually restore it To wash brown hollnnd dresses use bran, but no wnshlng soda and no soap unless the skirt Is very dirty. Boll two handfuls of bran In one quart of water and strain through muslin. Put the bran on to boll again, as you will require a second supply of bran water for rinsing. Cool the water by adding one quart of cold water to it. Then wash the skirt. You will be surprised to see how the bran extracts the dirt. Rinse flrst In bran water, then in plain wa ter. Put tho article through a wringer and Iron while dnmp on the wrong side. When Broiling Chicken. To broil chicken so that it Is cooked through, jet not burned, is an art few cooks beem to possess. The reason is usually that the fire is too hot and the chicken too close to it. Tho perfection of broiling requires a clear bed of umIn and the broiler far enough away lor its contents to cook slowly. This latter requirement Is mot by having several bricks on which the broiler can be set to raise it above the flame, Instead of allowing It to rest di rectly on the surface of the range, as Is tho usual way. Should tho Are be too hot Insert an other layer of bricks for a short time, removing them later. A medium sized pair of chickens re quire twenty-five minutes to bo broil ed In this way. At the eud put Into a baking pan, covered with butter, pep per and salt, until a nice gravy Is drawn. In putting the chicken on the broil er turn the inside toward tho lire flrst and later turn over on the back. A Way to Pack. A business womau who makes fre quent trips abroad has evolved an ex cellent Idea for keeping her gowns In good condition. Her plan entails con siderable work at flrst, as she makes pasteboard packing boards nnd covers them with a cheap percale. When these cases nre slipped over the board the ends are sewed up, and tapes to fasten in tho gown securely are sewed to the cover at equal distances on each side aud on the cuds and tie in the center. The garment is thus held se cure, in luylug In the skirt all the plaits, tucks and other fullness nre smoothed In place as It would natu rally hang. Each gown or skirt and shirt waist has its pasteboard, that has been cut just small enough to fit lusldo tho trunk. With this arrange ment a dress may be taken from tho trunk without disarranging any of the others A Novel Salad. Do you want to serve a salad that Isn't commonplace? Make it of cher ries, luscious pink and white oxhearts served on delicate green lettuce hearts covered with a highly seasoned French dressing. Stone tho cherries so as to crush them as little as possible. They may bo used alone, or the centers can bo Ailed with pecans. Put them on the ico until thoroughly chilled. The Trench dressing is mixed in a bowl which has been rubbed with n clove or garlic and n small piece of onion aud Is mnde hot with red pep per. Allow tho cherries to stand In It for nt least half an hour before serving. This salad Is as charming to the eye as to the palate nnd may bo quickly and easily prepared in an emergency. Ico Cream Whims. A block of Ice cream covered with a meringue, set In the oven to color and served Immediately, is an easy device to combine heat and cold In one food. Yet another whim Is to roll some rich paste very thin, cut in squares, put a spoonful of firm ico cream In the cen ter nnd fold the moistened edges nnd pinch so that no heat can get In. Set quickly into a very hot oven which will bake the paste before it melts tho Ico. Servo Instantly. This liking for eating n combination of tempera ture Is further Indulged by serving hot apple plo or baked Indian pudding garnished with a spoonful of Ice cream. To Keep Them Flat. Tho plaltlngo seen on many of tho season's waists may be laundered easi ly if tho edgo Is basted before seudlng to the wnsh. This may seem n trouble, but tho results after ironing mako it worth while. Another reason that the new plalt Ings lie flatter than formerly Is that thoy nro put In perfectly flat nfter plaiting, allowing no fullness of gath ers. Hold tho plaiting toward you whllo basting, for, whilo not fulled, It must not bo scant enough to draw. A Neat Patch. To mend the knees of little boys trousers so they will look as well anil wear as well as when new rip the seams as far up as worn, cut away tho worn part, take a piece of cloth Uko tho garment, sew straight across tho front, carefully matching goods; press the seam well, then shapo by tho pleco cut off, sew up the seams nnd hem across the front. If the pressing Is well done, one could not toll they bad been mended. POLITENESS PAYS. Nothing to Lose by Cultivating Good Manners, nave you ever had a woman tell you that she would not say "Please" and "Thank you" to servants? They are such short little words that nuy child can utter them; but, truth to tell, chil dren of the present day nre not taught to use thorn when addressing servants. A flttlo politeness goes n long way and helps to lubricate the wheels of do mestic affairs fully as much as oil applied to machinery. There Is fre quently as much friction In the one case as in tho other. Then why not ap ply tho same method? Politeness and tact should go hand in hnnd. An or der given with a smile nnd "Please" will. In all probability, bo better car ried out and more quickly executed for the little word, nnd if a "Thank you" Is added when the service Is fin ished what harm can possibly be done? There Is certainly nothing to lose by cultivating good manners If you have not them already. In fact, the gain is on tho side of the well bred woman who requites each little serv ice with a "Thank you." "Good man ners nre a greater factor In succesr than mental ability," said a savant. It Is undoubtedly n well acknowledged fact that bewitching manners go far to secure n person social success. The Inference, naturally. Is that good man ners nro nn inheritance tint the po sessor was raised in a refined nnd en' tivated atmosphere in other wort' was "to the manner born." Beuitv i a divine gift and wins favor readll but beauty without good hrccdln -soon falls to satisfy, and the person Is apt to be looked upon as one who-i birth was not all that It should lin been. The old saying, "Beauty Is bu: skin deep," should be a warning to the fortunate possessor who 1 olios solo!, on its charm. It fnd.-a nil too soon, a-i ' unless there nre other st tying quali ties the disappointment will be great when the Inevitable change take place. Each one influences some one else. Our manners and sayings are Imitated more than wo nro aware. So It behooves each person to be very careful of word and act, for surely our manners are reflected in those around us. WHY THEY LAUGHED. A Chinese Accessory That Mcdo All the Mischief. A girl whoso long pongee coat h.is been tho admiration of her friends all this season Is seriously considering never wearing It again. There Is no question as to the style nnd art of the wrap, n long, flowing affair with fasci nating plaits and big sleeves that float in the smnllcst summer breeze. Its decoration is a triumph, for tho girl bled herself to Chinatown and bought embroideries to use as insets nnd pan ols, one of tho most fascluntlug being a black silk band not more than two Inches wide. Its length Is about two yards, and it is almost solidly covered with embroidery in old blues. At each end is a long black tassel. This band, you see, has been put around tho low neck, so that tho two ends fall free al most to the bottom of the coat So far so good, but one day while wearing tho cloak she carried her hus band's collars to a Chinese lnundry. Being by no means a dull person. It took her but a moment to see that all laundry operations ceased ns soon as she entered and that sho had become nn object of unqualified Interest. Al most simultaneously It dawned on her why. It was her Chinese embroideries. To the man waiting on her she said, pointing to her coat trimmings: "You recognize them?" "Lcs, les," quoth he of the pigtail. "Chinaman hold up trousers with that," and he pointed to the beautiful long narrow black embroidered baud. Her Telephone Hour. A girl whose engagements nro many and who Is therefore out a good deal has established a telephone hour. In this way her friends are always sure of catching her on the wire, and she comes In for many unexpected good times that otherwise might be missed. Until she did this it was almost im possible to get her. Now if sho is not nt home at the telephone time she calls up tho house and tells the maid where sho may be reached. Tho arrangement works to a chnrm, sho says, nnd noth ing would Induce her to go bnck to the haphazard fashion of nny nnd no time. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Weakly children are very liable to have sties. Good diet and cod liver oil or malt are the best remedies. For dark circles under the eyes reg ular living, simple diet, deep breath ing and nutritious food aro unfailing specifics. A diet of white of egg, whipped to a stiff froh and taken three times dnlly, is a fine prescription for a thin contour of face. To reduce wide nostrils a lotion of tannin nnd camphor carefully mixed in equal proportions and faithfully ap plied will Invariably yield good results For sunken cheeks one ounce of lan olin mixed with one-half ounce of cocoa butter and rubbed Into the f'neo with n rotary and upward motion la nn accepted specific. Small wisps of hair will stay In curl much longer If Just before the hair is curled with tho heated iron the locks are dampened with bay rum. This often proves very helpful on damp days. Learn to dance. Dancers are fine walkers. Dance fifteen minutes every day. It will mako you more limber In the unused muscles. When you walk try to relax a little. Most walkers wulk ns If they were trying to walk a crack. They walk stiffly. ., A . , A ,t, A ,, A ,t, A it, A .ti A il !
