Woman a woman declares that she feels like a dlshrng she Is dragging When herself down to the lowest level of still life. We doubt not from the personal appearance cf that handy article of domestic utility that If any life existed at till in said rag It could not possibly fall lower or feel meaner, However, woman should never offer herself In comparison with so degraded an object for .the simple reason that mankind spurns the dlshrag most vehemently, and as woman exists solely for man she should not seek to lower herself in his esteem. When a rag takes up its duties In the dlshpnn It has reached the tag end of abandoned hope, the climax perhaps of a merry life. A dlshrag might have been a lovely ladys hose in its palmy days, adorned by a silken garter and surrounded by costly lingerie. But it Is not of Its past that I speak.

Esparto shoes, or shoes made of the toughest and strongest of the coarse esparto fibers, are still worn In Iberia and parts of Portugal. There is no shoe made which will outlast them, not excepting leather shoes. Indeed, one pair of esparto shoes has been known to outwear a dozen tanned hide soles. This Is due to their faculty of picking up and retaining in their Interstices stony particles. As fast as the pebbles are worn out they are replaced auto-- , matlcally by others. Thus a process is constantly going on. It Is not uncommon In some parts Of Spain or Portugal to hear the natives boast of wearing a pair of esparto shoes for 25 years or more. self-solln- g The Versatile Manchurian Farmer.

The numerous references to honey In the Bible are due to Its being the common sweetener of the people ; nd to this day the Jews, who are fine old crusty conservatives, use honey In cooking where other people use sugar. Still, it had a certain anc; was used as the symboldistinction, of fruitfulness and plenty. When Jeroboam's wife wished to propitiate the prophet she took him ten loaves, two cakes and cruse of honey. When Jesus reap peared to his disciples they tested his reality by giving him a piece of broiled fish and some, honeycomb to eat As for John the Baptist, it is known to all that his common food consisted ol locusts and wild honey.

It Is the man- d ner In which Major LEnfants century-oldream hat, been realized that Is so wonderful. The capital is famous the world over fo r its avenues and vistas, its canopied stately buildings, parks, and splendid monuments. The White House Is essentially a part of Washington. of the general lay-oIt Is tied to It; it belongs to it. No sympathetic visitor would isolate it for one moment. It is a part of the Washington park scheme, as much as the palaces of France or Italy ot any othofficial residences are a er portion of their setting, of their sunken or walled gardens, their fountains or terraces. Nature has done little for London and hardly more even for Paris, but much for Washington.

Con- tinuing, that distinguished ambassador compares this ideal city to Constantinople and Calcutta because of their park systems. He calls attention to the beauty of Rock Creek valley, recently set aside as a park, joining the woods that stretch along Potomac river. He says, Washington seems consecrated to society, to the delight of human Intercourse. We hear a great deal today of America as commercial, material. Is not this an occasion for congratulation? May Americans not well be proud of the success which gives happy homes to so many thousand families? In this it follows closely the history of the dim eastern empires of Athens, of Rome, and in our own time, of England. Still, the republic claims a universal salutation to the thought that Idealism is still the characteristic of the American people as it was In the colonial days. To dispose of the subject in a colloquial manner, the great heart of the people Is sound, though It has flirted at times with false gods. We have but to look at Washington for a moment to realize In the countenance of the average citizen the delight In a great Ideal. He Is proud of the city.

That Is to be seen today, now that the White House Is tied to Washington and to its wonderful park scheme, just as It Is "to the history of the people by a wonderful network of policies, the ebb and flow of ambitions, and by the change of officers, who, like figures in a great pageant, arrive at Intervals, dominate things for a time, and then pass on.

The area is large, involving several miles, with problems that challenge and perplex. The White House is not the work of one man; rather is it a compilation of ideas to which many have contributed in their own time and way. The history in brief shows that it was built after the fashion of the villas of Italy from designs made by a resourceful architect, by name James Hoban of Dublin. We see the stately simplicity of the Georgian style. The White House Is substantially built, the walls faced with Virginia limestone. The cornerstone was laid in 1792 in what was then a bare field The ceresloping to the Potomac. monies were graced by the presence of Washington, who came over from Mount Vernon. Resisting the suggestion of many that .it should be called the palace, it was known first as the executive presidents house, then-th- e mansion, and later the name,, like so many other things concerning this inunderwent a building, teresting change, and the White House it became. It is literally the White House, the white paint being used to eliminate the black caused by the fire of the British on the occasion of that untimely visit on a late afternoon in August, during a severe thunderstorm which added no little to the excitement; the attack following the destruction of the capitol upon the hill. Twenty-sipresidents have known It as a home, and two died in it Harrison, after a few brief days of power ; and bluff, honest Zackary Taylor, the Rough and Ready of the Mexican war, as he was called. .Lincoln, leaving the red room one evening with a group of friends, never returned, dying in a strange house, after the assassins bullet in the theater. And here in the East room hla body lay in state that those who wished to pay their last homage to a great and good man might do so. Here, Garfield, shot in a railroad station, and carried in by way of the serpentine approach of the x southern entrance up the rich vine-cla-d stairway, languished during days of agony, and finally breathed hl3 last in a seaside cottage. Here Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves; here Nellie Grant, the daughter of the president, married the ambitious young Englishman, Sartoris, a ceremony of great brilliancy. Here, Cleveland, twice president, married Frances Folsom,- and here his second child was born the one baby born to a presi - sk . n? lyn Zoo.

The White House has always been the home of children, for nearly every president has had a substantial family, ' The, winged cupld with his poignant arrows and tireless smile is not here merely a decorative emblem, but a living reality.

The human had we not better say the family? appeal of the White House, with its many ramifications reaching through many - channels, extends in all directions. On five occasions have invlfa tions been sent to the fortunate few to weddings here, the marriage ceremony of daughters of presidents. This includes one of the daughters of President Wilson, who could have no superstition in becoming the thirteenth White House bride, when we consider that such was the number of the original colonies and that there were thirteen stars upon the first American banner. The White House as we know it today shows the energy of Theodore Roosevelt and his general conception of the demands of the occasion. That dominant personality not only aroused the inner consciousness of the people, setting up new standards, or sweeping aside encroachments upon old ideals, but he set to work so to arrange the executive mansion that it would be more fit for the service of the people. This meant important change to the building, including the construction of an independent office with accommodation for secretaries and typists and assistants. New means were, arranged whereby the public could visit the executive with some degree of comfort and In large numYet the bers on certain occasions. original building was preserved Intact, so that It Is today literally the home of the president, and so far convenient and sufficient for his. family that he can invite a friend to stay overnight without embarrassment, and even, when occasion permits, entertain in a proper and dignified manner a guest of distinction. All this entailed a readjustment of the building in many ways; an extension, practically a rebuilding of the original wings, which in their own fashion provide few en trances, so that what Is called the circulation of the house is equal to the demands of festival nights and other receptions; and so that ambassadors and ministers from foreign powers can be fitly received. mite would open It, one officer explained.
