THE TIE THAT BINDS (SOME).
cting Reconciliation Between Two
Really Loving Hearts.
There is a ce.rtaiu couple who de-
eidod to separate awhile ago. It
seemed that they were not affinities,
aftor all, and life together was unen-
durable, so the wife packed up her be-
longings and was preparing for a trip
home. At the time of parting sha
* * picked up their little pet dog and
tuc ied him uider her arm, while her
othar managed the suit case.
"Why, you're not going to take
Trisy!" exclaimed the husband.
"Of course I am," she announced. "I
couidn't live without him."
i "Well, I can't let the little fellow
gcr," he insisted.
".And 1 simply won't leave him," she
declared. :: ^'
So they argued for half an hour, at
,the end of which she decided to stay,
v and unpacked to cook dinner, at which
Trity was the guest of honor.

A Multiplicity of Father®.
Ardyce had been learning to sing
'America" at school and was trying
to teach it to brother Wayne. One
morning his father heard him shout-
ing : "Land- where my papa died, land
where my papa died."
Ardyce interrupted: "Oh, no,
Wayne, not that way. It is 'Land
whs re our fathers died.'"
Wayne's expression could not be

gravely asked: "Two of 'em?"—De-

at the National Capital.
Society Will See Number of Changes
WASHINGTON.—Now that it is all
over but the inauguration there
is a rush on in the settling of where
to live and the furnishing of many
mansions for the hospitalities which
will be due. The season will be full
of changes, both sad and otherwise,
for the close of the administration will
see the retirement of many prominent
and important men and women, and
the coming of others equally interest-
ing to take their places. It so hap-
pens that many recently built man-
sions of new winter residents of Wash-
ington are to be opened this fall and
winter. The owners of these are sole-
ly of the leisure class.
Among these can be Included the
triangular palace of the Perry Bel-
monts; the "made over" mansion of
the Edson Bradleys'; the big white
mansion of the Clarence Moores; the
diplomatic homes on upper Sixteenth
street of the rilinlster from Sweden
and the new minister from Denmark,
who will occupy the two new white
houses recently completed by Mrs. J.
B. Henderson, just above the home of
the secretary of commerce and labor,
and Mrs. Straus. Then, too, there is
the splendid new home of the late
minister to this oeuntry from Norway,
which will be occupied this season by
Mrs. Marcus A. Hanna, widow of the
senator from Ohio, who will again
take up her leadership as a Wash-
ington hostess, and the new home of
the widow of another famous senator,
Mrs. Arthur Pue Gorman, at Vermont
avenue and L street, to say nothing
of the pretentious mansion of Mr. and
Mrs. Francois Berger Moran on "Mil-
lionaires' Circle," more properly
known as Sheridan circle.
One of the most important purchases
recently was that o£j Senator Henry A.
Du Pont of Delaware, who has a spa-
cious and pretentious home at Winter-
thur, Del., and who has bought the
huge mansion of the late Beriah Wil-
lcins, on Massachusetts avenue, close
to Seventeenth street. This house ex-
tends so far back, with its four stories,
that it greatly resembles an apartment
house. It has 50 rooms. Senator Du
Pont is a widower of many years, and
his hostess is his daughter, Mrs. Fran-
cis Crowninshield of Boston.
Senator Du Point has had the man-
sion entirely redecorated and improved
by rearrangement. It will be furnished
newly and luxuriously. The senator
has many art treasures gleaned from
palaces and old castles abroad, which
will render the interior distinctly
sumptuous. The feature of the first
floor in this house is the great hall-
way, fjom which a massive marble
stairway leads to the upper floors.
Large' salons surround this stairway
on the first floor, and spacious living
apartment on the second, with sleep-
ing apartments en suite for the family
on the third floor. (
A few blocks to the west of Senator
Du Font's new home and on the other
side of Du Pont circle is the home of
Mrs. Sarah Stewart Wyeth of Philadel-
phia, who will make her future winter
home at No, 2305 Massachusetts ave-
nue, which is really Sheridan circle.

VEGETARIANISM is meeting with a
few shocks in Washington. These
come after members of Washington
society partake of the hospitality of
Mrs. John Brooks Henderson, wife of
a former senator from Missouri, at
her'vegetarian dinners at her home at
Sixteenth street and Florida avenue.-
One society woman, a guest at the
most recent dinner given by Mrs. Hen-
derson, is at present confined to her
bed. Dyspepsia was the doctor's ver-
dict. Friends of the Henderson fam-
ily say that the former United States
senator is also suffering from the
same trouble and others say that Mrs.
Henderson herself was somewhat in-
disposed from the same cause not long
ago.
Mrs. Henderson's vegetarian dinners
recall that a couple of years ago the
contents of the famous Henderson
wine cellar were poured into the gut-
ter. Mrs. Henderson had put the
ban on all fermented wines. Quan-
tities of the famous old Navy sherry,
for which the cellar was noted, were
being augmented in the bottle-break-
ing process with champagne, old port,
Madeira, cordials, brandies and whis-
kies. Since then only unfermented
grape juice, white and red, has graced
the Henderson table, with ail that
goes with a vegetarian banquet.
Meat is barred. The "piece de re-
sistance" at a vegetarian dinner may
be a succulent "roast" or "turkey."
But its parts are not of the flesh, but
of nuts.
"lees" In the course meal are mere-
ly cool concoctions, not cold. The en-
tree may be apple or banana fritters.
Butter—that is, butter from the milk
of the cow, finds no place. Nut butter
is imperative. Dessert covers a wide
field—apples, hananas, cherries, figs,
grapes, oranges, pears, plums, rasp-
berries, strawberries, watermelon. The
coffee question has been "solved," and
a "near coffee" is served up in the
fo m of a fluid made from various sub-
stances.
Mr. Henderson is the author of the
thirteenth amendment to the Consti-
tution of the United States, abolishing
slavery. His wife was Miss Mary N.
Foote, whom he married in 1868. At
the time he was United States sena-
tor from Missouri.
Many Fat Jobs at Disposalof Taft

THE advance guard of the office
seekers is on the ground, indus-
triously finding loose ends of political
wires to be pulled when William H.
Taft gets on the presidential job.
Mr. Taft's popularity with these
hundreds "dyin' to give their services
to their country" can be seen by the
8,700 jobs to be distributed. Formerly
there were 1,100 more, but President
Roosevelt, wearying of attempting to
fill the many consular positions, placed
them In the competitive class.
The richest job that President Taft
will pass before the beaming laces
along the federal pie counter will be
the governorship of the Philippines,
which pays $20,000 yearly.
In aggregate, the president has 30
appointments to offices which pay $12,-
000 yearly. Nine of these are port-
folios in the cabinet.
Ten ambassadors draw $17,500 and
four members on the Philippine com-
mission worry along with $15,000. A
civil member of the Panama commis-
sion is to be appointed, and for his
attending meetings now and then ho
will receive $14,000.
Should Chief Justice Fuller leave
the supreme bench, a position paying
$13,000 will be open.
The post-office department offers the
richest field for the pie hunters. There
are 350 offices that pay $3,000 or more
yearly, while 700 pay over $2,000. The
$1,800 class is about 500 strong, while
1,300 will be included in the $1,600 di-
vision. There will be 1,000 postmas-
ters in the $1,400 class, and a like num-
ber tn the $1,200 division.
Summed up, President Taft will
make the following appointments:
Post-office, 6,851; judiciary, 1,071;
treasury, 365; interior, 342; customs,
192; commerce and labor, 20; war, 6;
state, 52; agriculture, 3; navy, 2, and
14 more jobs will be scattered here
and there.

THE bureau of engraving and print-
ing has completed designs sug-
gested by Postmaster General Meyer
for a new issue of United States post-
age stamps. The new stamps will be
of the following denominations; One
cent, two cent, three cent, four cent,
five cent, six cent, eight cent, ten cent,
15 cent, 50 cent and one dollar. The
two and five dollar denominations now
In use will not be reprinted. The
two-cent stamp will be the first dis-
tributed.
The new issue has been designed
with the object of obtaining the great-
est simplicity commensurate with ar-
tistic results. The profile has been
taken in each instance instead of a
full view, giving a basrellef of effect.
All the stamps are of a similar design
containing a head in an ellipse. The
lettering is in straight lines, at the
top being "U. S. Postage," and at the
bottom the words "two cents."
The one-cent stamp contains the
head of Franklin, while all the others
will bear that of Washington, taken
from busts by Houdon.
Thus one of the most notable differ-
ences in the new issue will be the
minimum of lettering. The colors are
the reds and blues of the early
stamps.
Director Ralph of the bureau of en-
graving and printing regards the new
stamps as the most artistic ever la-
sued by the government.

Fashionable Fao
A triangle of glitter and sparkle is
what my lady beautiful will carry for
a fan this year. For on this, the
daintiest accessory for her evening
toilet, the spangle is as sovereign as
elsewhere, and ever bright must my
lady's eyes be not to be outshone by
the; spangle strewn toy that she car-
ries.
This participation in the fad for
glittering ornamentation which dom-
inates the style of the fine lady's cos-
tume, from the silver winged butter-
fly that poises in her coiffure to the
sparkle of her slipper, is almost the
only distinctively new thing about
fans this year.
( Of course, a white gauze fan orna-
mented with a few spangles has
been in the possession of ev?ry debu-
tante and sweet girl graduate for the
last 20 years, but the newness is in
the omnipresence and the abundant
use of this ornament. This year the
fan, instead of being strewn with
spangles, is encrusted, frosted, over-
laid with a thousand bits of gold or
silver sparkle to match the sparkle
on the aigrette and gown.
Nor is it only the white gauze fan
that is thus treated, but the black
fan, the blue fan, the hand-painted
fan, the little ivory cabinet toy fan
for the collector, and the fan made of
ail lace.
The note of glitter and sparkle is
carried out even in the sticks for,
with those who can afford them, the
mother-of-pearl have superseded the
bone and Ivory. And not contented
with the gleam of the mother-of-pearl
alone, the artificer has inserted even
here bits of gold and steel and silver.
With the gauze fans the bone or
ivory sticks are still used, but with
the lace nothing but mother-of-pearl
will do.
Feather fans are being marked close
onto half price, as they are hardly to
be used at all. In one showcase
among the fragile bits of ivory and
spangle, aloof like a sulky peacock
among little darting humming birds,
reposes a huge plume fan with sticks
of carven amber, marked from $50 to
$25.
Although the plume fans are rather
out of date, Japanese feather fans are
quite modish. One model which is
shown at a Japanese shop has a
pretty tea cup scene painted on a
background of white feathers and the
top fringed with peacock feathers.
In size, the fan has not changed
much. It should be, If anything, a lit-
tle larger than those shown last year.
As to expense, you may have what
you will from the fan of steel
spangled gauze within the reach of
any "purse, to the creation of lace and
mother-of-pearl, or the product of the
artist's daintiest brush.
Or the salesman may bring from a
special case a model which is rapidly
gaining in popularity—the sandal-
wood fan. And if you like mignonette
better than tulips, you will find it as
attractive as the more elaborate pro-
ductions of mother pearl, lace and
spangles. From the exquisite odor
that rises to you, perhaps you will be
able to call up a faint recollection of
some old sea captain's cabinet with its
treasure trove of teak and ivory, ebony
and sandlewood, gathered from a hun-
dred far-off shores. And as the in-
cense-like fragrance grows even more
potent-in its spell, perhaps it will in-
voke for you a vision of grandmother
attired for the ball, hoopskirted, hair
drawn demurely low, a tea rose thrust
in her bodice and fluttering in her
hand a sandalewood fan.

Now that the most modish of the
young women in the fashion plates
have come to resemble the youthful
and dejected 'Arriets that Phil May
used to draw, the girl built on the
short, square plan of the country farm-
house feels that there is little chance
for her to look her best in the gowns
of the day. The sweeping, long lines
of the empire dresses, the short-waist-
ed jackets, the drooping plumes on the
broad hats—all these are not of a na-
ture to show off the best points of the
girl who weighs 162 and stands only
5 feet 1 in her silk stockings.
"I've taken on a man tailor," said a
dressmaker in a side street who- has
risen to the possession of her present
fine establishment through her ability
to prescribe for her customers as well
as to make smart gowns for them, "be-
cause there are so many women who
have been driven by the styles of the
winter to take up the tailor-made
dresses. I have already advised many
of ,my customers to do that."
Then she went on to explain how
she had accomplished wonders with
women who would have been little else
than ridiculous in the modes of the
year.
"You know," she began, "I would not
attempt to try to persuade any fat wom-
an into the belief that she looked
well in a short-waisted empire gown
with a broad-brimmed hat. As those
are indispensable features of the new
syles of this year, how can a young
girl be smart and yet ignore them?
I'll tell you. She can become tailor-
made and have a distinction of appear-
ance and a chic which all the empire
clothes in town would not give her."
Among the dainty articles for the
tailor-made woman are exquisite sheer
linen shirtwaists, not much embroid-
ered, but plaited and tucked finely. To
these there are attached attractive col-
lars and rich ties.
"Put one of these beautiful waists
on a girl," he said, holding up one
that showed a myriad of fine tucks and
was finished with a fine ruffle down
the front, "and it makes no difference
how fat she is; she is going to have a
certain cachet that even the smartest
of the empire styles cannot excel.
Then dress her, so far as the outside
clothing goes, with a very strictly tai-
lor-made coat and skirt.
"The utmost sacrifice to chiffon that
I allow is a black satin belt. As these
tailor-Tiade compromises with the
mode are intended only for stout girls,
I allow no stiff, hard finish cloths to
be used. Nor must anything with a
very rough surface be employed, since
it tends to give also the impression of
siz*
"Dark colors are, of course, best, and
I find the soft, solid color casslmeres
most becoming.
"I insist on the tailor-made idea
even to the hats. Nothing is prettier
to go with such a suit than one of the
silk beaver alpines that the men are
now wearing in the country. They
come from Vienna, have a long nap
and are made in green, black and
brown. They are not worn plain by
women, but with a wing or another
kind of feather ornament.
"So the fat girl need not worry
about being out of the style. If she
will consent to become tailor-made
rather than take to the present fash-
ions, she can have the satisfaction of
looking more distinguished in her own
way than half the women who slavish
ly copy what makes them look theii
worst."—Boston Herald.

writes to the Peruna Medicine Co.,
as follows:
"/ can recommend Peruna for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I
have been using your medicine for
a short period and I feel very much
relieved. It is indeed a wonderful
medicine, besides a good tonic. *'
CATARRH of the stomach is the cor-

OUR sketch illustrates a pretty and effective wash-stand drapery, and one
that is inexpensively and easily made. To suggest dimensions would be
useless, as the size and shape will, of course, depend upon the wash-stand
it is intended for, but a few words describing the way in which it is con-
structed should be of service.
Thin bamboo can be bought very cheaply and in almost any length that may
be required, and, in this instance the bamboo should be a little longer than the
width of the wash-stand, and should be plugged at both ends with wood and
then finished off by having two small brass balls screwed in, in the same
manner that an ordinary bamboo yurtain pole is treated. Two littlev brass
hooks (illustrated by A) are nailed to the wall to support either end oi
the cane. The drapery can then be ur«nged in the simple way shown in the
sketch, with the cane passed through the upper part of it, or it can be ar-
ranged more elaborately if desired, in festoons, and decorated at intervals with
small bows of ribbon. The color of the drapery should be carefully chosen to
harmonize or contrast with the wall paper, and when this is well done it will
help a great deal to make the decoration a success.
