is by an executive order of the secretary of the treas-
ury, the "flying squad" of special
agents is becoming one of the most
picturesque of the many government
organizations charged with secret du-
ties. ' " " . .
The official statement announcing
the permanent organization of this
body stated that the success of a
temporary body of secret service
agents had demonstrated the value
of such a force. Through the: activi-
ties of the organization the bureau
has unearthed many frauds against

e government which might otherwise have gone undetected.
xnent continued: _ ,
-"These officers will be the personal representatives of the commissioner
-and, in fact, will be his eyes arid ears throughout the country. Violators of
the law, cr unfaithful employees of the government, if there be any, will not
S$$jQ4NK,?rlM n the eyes of the commissioner are upon them. "j
"Tm£6 agents will be sent into any part of the country where the com-
iinissioner has jreasqn to believe that fraud is being committed which it is
"impossible for the regular revenue officers .to uncover. Eevenue officers are
largely kiiown in their districts, and a strange, unidentified person may .be
table to detect irregularities where regular officers may fail.
"This action reduces to permanent form the temporary policy which has
been followed and which has unearthed numerous frauds on the revenues.
It was through the work of a number of similar agents temporarily appointed,
that the vas.t oleomargarine frauds were brought to light. The organization
^«jf this force is no reflection on the regular internal revenue force, but is
intended to promote the general welfare and efficiency of the service."
^introduction Broker Bus;y in National Capitol
SENATOfS and members of the house have been discussing with surprise,
not to mention indignation, a report that an "introduction broker" has
S|;jbeen doing a thriving business in the capitol since the beginning of the
—present session. As in cases of the
jiumerous petty grafters who infest
'the capitol, it has been found extreme-
ly difficult to catch this man "with the
rgoods."
• "* Quotations on introductions, ac-
;Cording^bH4i^gbS3ip5''were" ?25 for a
^eenatorand for a member of the
house. The rates are varied in ac-
cordance with the influence of the
.senator or representative to whom the
introduction was sought and the poign-
vancy of the desire of the person seek-
ing the introduction. It is understood that a cabinet officer may be met in
this formal way for $100, although contracts of this character are taken, it
■ is said, on a contingent fee of smaller proportions, because cabinet officers
;are not so available as members of congress.
This operator was doing very well until he tried to "take in toc^ muph
territory:" He agreed to introduce a client to a certain public man.. They
reached the man and when the introduction was accomplished, the public
man turned to the introducer and asked him his name and whom he rep-
resented. This made the client suspicious and he subsequently told all
about the "broker.".
Washington has a'. number of characters of this type, some of whom
•work among the politicians and others among society folk. As in every
-other city where society plays a big part, there are innumerable society
brokers in Washington. They work a bit more cleverly than the "introduc-
tion broker" of the capitol, but they work more slowly.
"It coats more to live than It did
years ago." said the man who com-
plains. "Yea," answered the mars
who. en joys modern conveniences, "but
it's worth more."
THOUGHT FOR THE INVALID.
; Invalid cooking is a most impor-
ant and interesting subject, and on©
which demands a
knowledge of die-
tetics as well as
taste, tact and pa-
tience.
t First and fore-
ttiost in dealing
with an invalid wo.
must remember
that he is out of balance mentally as
well as physically. In the days of
convalescence, when life is beginning
to be worth while, the small things
of every day will interest and little
things will irritate, which.$r.Qifld never
be noticed in health. . '..
It is not necessary -to mention that
the tray should be as immaculate in
its appointments, no matter how sim-
ple, as are alj other things about an
invalid. Where laundry needs, to
be considered, there-are' any number
of pretty pap,er napkihs \fhich can be
bought in different designs and col-
ore.' For a child the bright colors
will be interesting and a variety will
be a source of entertainment. In
case of infectious diseases paper nap-
kins are quite a necessity. The small
paper cases, too, may be used for a
tiny custard or bit of dessert.
A flower or two on the tray will be
most welcome. The tiny vases which
hold a small bunch of violets or a
single rose are well adapted for use
on a tray.
Set the tray as iarefully as a place
is laid at the table, and in the same
order. A small pot of steaming tea
which may be poured by the invalid
Is an item to be remembered.
.Never ask a patient what he would
like to eat, or drink.- Let his food be
a surprise, as it will taste better.
Do not watch every mouthful he
eats, for some people do riot enjoy
the sensation. Do not serve fried
foods to a sick person, nor food in
any large quantity. It is much bet-
ter for them to want more than be
Surfeited at the sight, of too much,
Twice baked bread should be served
with the broths and beef juices.
Sponge cak© is the only desirabl6
kind to serve.
Cocoa is better than chocolate, un-
less the patient needs the fat, and is
able to take care of it.

Old Glory low Being "lade ii America" of Cotton
-TiZ
OLD GLORY, to which the patriotic American doffs his hat as typifying tho
spirit of America, is in about nine cases out of. ten not a domestic article,
"For ever since Betsy Ross made her first American flag, the official emblem
of the country ahcTall its auxiliary
banners that fly from thousands ot
public buildings, army posts and
ships' masts have been made of wool'
en bunting—practically all of it im-
ported.
In the future, , however, a large
proportion of the government's flags
will be "made in America," from the
planting of the fiber to the sewing
of the last stitch in the completed
banner. This is assured by the action
of the general supply committee of the
government in listing specifications for cotton flags side by Bide witfr those
for woolen bunting which has heretofore appeared alone; and by the an-
nouncement of the treasury department, one of the heaviest users of flags
among Uncle Sam's family of departments, that it will in the future use cot-
ton flags almost exclusively.
... The action of the supply committee is not one of patriotism alone. When
the European war put a stop to the exportation of cotton and there was
agitation for putting the South's staple crop to new uses at home the com-
mittee became interested in the possibilities of cotton flags, but determined
•on rigid tests before any action should be taken. Cotton flags were therefore
made up and placed on several of the revenue cutters, and samples of cot-
-ton-flag goods were sent to the United States bureau of standards for tests;
" Both kinds of tests were highly favorable for cotton. The flags stood the
.strain of constant use in all kinds of weather as well as flags of wool, the
report from the revenue cutter service said.

White Hqus© Mannequins w the National Hiseiis

series of lay figures representing the mistresses of the White Housai^t!
under successive administrations running back to Martha Washington, who
appears in a gown she used-to wear,

the side of a Mount Vernon table.—
J For a modern contrast, Mrs.
Orover Cleveland is attired in a won-
derful frock of white silk sprinkled
over with full-blown roses, the arm
loops and upper edge of this- corsage
decorated with big butterflies of gold
arid glittering sequins—about a dozen
of the gorgeous insects in all, one of

ting that many of them are good, they think that others are not first rate.
Back of all this there is a real joke." for, be, It understood, the faces of
the White House mistresses are not meant to be likenesses at all. In fact,
their faces are all the same face, the original of which is the face of a
classical statue. L v •-
So far as the features are concerned, Martha Waahington, Mrs. Cleveland,
Mrs. Taft and all the rest are one woman. The important difference is in
the arrangement i5of the hair.
The idea of the exhibit is not to offer a sefter'Of portrait? of the women

Doeah't Follow.
A common error is in regarding a
mm who. has made a success In on*
thing as an authority on everything;
Wool chinchilla in dark colors is
an old favorite for winter coats, and
is worn by men, women and children.
It remained for the smart sport coat
to bring out the unequaled fitness of
white chinchilla for garments in
which style is of as much inportance
as warmth, and both are essential to
success.
White chinchilla appears with ever-
increasing frequency in midwinter
coats for little girls, and smart sport
coats for women. The latter are cut
in simple lines and long, like the coat
pictured, or shaped like sweater coats.
Many novel touches in little details
of finishing make them interesting,
and they are carefully and beautifully
finished.
These points are demonstrated by
the coat illustrated here very clearly.
It has a big convertible collar which*''
may' be buttoned up about the ears,
and th^i-e^erB are faced with moire
$ltish' in blaik. Very accurate parallel
rows of machine stitching ornament
the coat at the bottom and adorn the
collar, cuffs, and pocket flaps. The
buttons are white composition barred
with black, except the two that fasten
the metal belt across the front, which
is finished with tabs of black at each
side. These buttons are black with
white rims. :
The sleeves and body portion of the
coat are lined with soft black satin,
and the shaping ^f the sleeves and
arm's-eye is noticeably original
appropriate to the material.
A coat of this kind will pass muster
wherever discriminating eyes will be
"met and outing coats are worn, Com-
fort and style go with it and that
poise which belongs to the wearer
who is conscious of its fitness.
On Your Living-Room Table.
The genial glow of reading lamps
makes the living-room table these
cool nights the most cheerful and rest-
ful place in the house. On this occa-
sion the runner for the table should
have a large amount of consideration.
While cushions are important, they
are^in the shadow and any shabbiness
or defects in them will be softened.
Devote then your best energies to hav-
xx\s a supply of table runners that will
dp you and your home credit.
Cross stitch always has about it,
when in the proper colors, a sugges-
tion of warmth and comfort that ac-
campanies no other kind of embroid-
ery. PerhapB <t is because it brings
to mind grandmother's day with its
open fireplace and its bright oil
lamps that sent out a glow of warmth
to those who crowded about them with
their books and papers on a winter
evening.
People don't talk about the weather
in Lima, because it never rains there.
The demands of the tourist and of
those women who keep pace with the
midwinter social affairs save the mil-
liners' workrooms from utter deser-
tion at this time. Soon they will be
filled with workers preparing for
spring, when everyone .wants new
headwear. But now they are quiet, and
designers have leisure to occupy their
time with matters. of ornaments for
the coiffure and hats for formal dress.
With the rich and beautiful fabrics
and trimming stuffs at hand, it is no
task for the designers to create the
picturesque styles they love so well.
In silk and metal laces, in malines and
furs, and wonderful flowers, they find
an inspiration.
Two of tho latest models for dressy
wear are shown in the picture above.
One of them is of black chantilly lace
and black satin and is merely a softly-
draped crape or cap of satin and a
halo of lace wired and lifted near the
front into becoming lines. A • very
email nosegay of fine blossoms is
posed against the base of tho crown,
but the flowers are r\ot visible in the
picture. They are Just tho touch of
color and gayety tbat belongs on this
.model, I ", • _ *

ations which may bo . adapted to the
young or .the mature woman. A little
less width of brim for tha patron, and
" " '
perhaps a hint. of sedate coloring in
the flowers, adapt it to her style.
The second hat is decidedly a bell
shape, with top crown of uncut velvet
in any color that may be chosen, the
sides of gold or silver lace and a brim
edge of narrow fur banding. It is fin-
ished with a flat camelia, posed at the
front, and is a rich-looking and com-
fortable hat, but the shape is becoming
only to certain types of faces.
