A cover to lay across the top of articles packed in a trunk or suit case 1s considered important. It does double dutv. It confines the various articles s0 that they do not get disarranged and mussed when the lid is closed, | ch, if a trunk or bag is full to bulzing. makes it necessary. It also protects the garments from dust which may seep through even the tiniest of crevices A towel is apt to serve this pose of a covering, but it is the rt thing to have a specially made to match the lining of the lug- gage or that of the predominating hue if the lining is figured. e cover should be of washable tex- tile. bound or blanket. stitched in a conirasting color. Black may be used or one of the prominent shades that goes well with the hue chosen for the main textil. Some women like a closely woven textile such as light- weight cotton cloth. Some prefer silk or silk muslin. The fabric should be very soft and pliable, for it must tuck sbout the contents easily and not add Unbleached cotton cloth, or muslin as it is called in some localities, was se- lected by one bride, since it perfectly | matched the lining of her motor suit | case. The very close weave made the | textile impervious to dust. This protec: tion was needed for in the smart picce of luggage went a selection of French frocks and choice silk lingerie, hand embroidered or trimmed with real lace Economy was not the reason for the selection of the textile, but sulitability. It affords a precedent for other covers in which the very lack of cost suits the purse. The size of the cover should conform to the size of the special piece of lug- gage for which it is made. It must be ample to allow it to be tucked down securely around the sides, but not too big, for then the extra material is in the way. 1f a material such as silk muslin or a finely woven cheesecloth or scrim is used double, 1t can serve two uses, that of luggage cover and garment cover. To make it fill the two purposes, pierce two or three holes in and close to the center of the cover. Each hole should be only large enough to slip over the wire of a_hanger hook. The holes should be closely buttonhole stitched. They should come in the fold of the material. for then they do not interrupt the sur- | face covering the contents, which must be free from holes. The thinress of the textile even when doubled does not add appreciable bulk, while the fact that it is double adds to the protective element of the cover. (Copyright, 1930.) A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER, RESENTING one of the plutocrats of the United States Senate (that one time “Millionaires’ Club"): . LAWRENCE COWLE PHIPPS. | Some say he has 80 millions, others 40 millions, _still others 50 millions. Gossip was that he dropped a large sized fortune in the | recent stock crash | and didn’t miss it. In Washington he lives in a beau- tiful home in the Northwest section known as Single Oak. Josephus Daniels lived there when he served in ‘Woodrow Wilson's | cabinet as_Secre- tary of the Navy. He also has a home in Denver, a mountain place in the Rockies, and an estate in Los Angeles. In Washington he moves in the most exclusive society, as elsewhere, He en- tertains frequently and well. He is not heard often in the Senate. He likes to sit at his desk on the front row of the Republican side of the cham- ber and listen. Rarely is he lured into debate He prepares his set speeches with great care and reads them from a manuscript. His voice is not strong | and always much the same in tone. For this reason his audiences are small. He has few of the characteristics of a politician. Personal publicity he dislikes. Newspaper men find him hard to talk to. He prefers that they leave him alone. He is not interested in any particular legislation to the point of iis being his hobby. As chairman of the Senate Post | Office committee his activities are con- fined largely to this field. Toward his colleagues he is reserved and dignified. Never do you hear him referred to as “Larry” by them or any one else. Yet he greets them with a merry sort of a smile and with twin- ling eyes. HISTORIC His closest friends in the Senate are Dave Reed, George Moses and Hiram Bingham. With the first named he is the most intimate. Together they own a speedboat which they run up and down the Potomac | River on fishing trips and duck shoots. A limousine with a uniformed chauf- feur carries him from Single Oak to the Senate and back every day. He is one of the best dressed men in the Senate. His taste in suits runs to grays and brown mixtures. He has white hair and an almost white mustache. He is of medium | height, a bit rotund. He plays cards in serious fashion. . He holds membership in 14 clubs— six in Denver, four in New York and four in Washington. This is his last year in the Senate Several months ago he announced his intention of retiring from politics to private life. He would have come up for re-election again next Fall. My Neighbor Says: If a can of paint has to be left open, stir it thoroughly, so as to dissolve all the oil, then fill it up with water. When it be- comes necessary to use the paint, pour off the water, and you will find the paint as fresh as when first opened. ‘When blankets are to be washed for the first time they should be soaked over night in cold water and then rinsed. This is to re- move the sulphur used in bleach- ing. After this they should be soused until clean in a lukewarm lather made with boiled soap and water, and then Yinsed in elear water, To remove automobile grease from clothing, cover the stains with lard and allow it to stand until the grease is soft enough to come off. ‘When restringing beads use two strands of dental floss in- stead of one. Beads are not so likely to cut through two strands. JILTING 5 Stepmother’s Trickery Caused Sweetheart of Turner 1o Marry Another. BY J. P. GLASS. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Rose season brings out the latent flow- er lover in everybody, and there are more rose-maniacs than any other va- rlety of garden cranks. The iris folks talk more technically; the delphinium | craze is new and very exclusive, while | many other flowers that once possessed a vogue and a following have been ! abandoned by fashion or have reached | the approximate limits of what you can do in the way_of varving them. But the rose. As Bailey, the dean of American horticulturists says, what most people think so, when you say the word “flower,” is & rose, of the florist’s dou- ble varieties. The rose has penetrated the poetry and mythology of the western world t an extent that is positively monotonous. Yet I have never met but one man (and a breeder of roses, at that) who ad- mitted that the rose was not queen of flowers, In fact, he really did not care much for roses—they merely fell in the scope of his profession. T would rather have 'a handful of popples, brief though their life is, any day. But the single roses, our native wild ones, where they tangle with the ripening blackberry vines, or the old- fashioned Cherokee, is certainly about as lovely a bit of heaven-on-earth as unfolds to the Summer dawn. I have never found out how the Cherokee rose, that great fragile beauty of the garden fences, got its name. The old belief that it is an Indian rose has no justification, except by a confusion of names, for it ds really a native of India. long ago introduced into England |and then America, by the tea clippers. | With Cherokees it has nothing to do, iand yet the name, rather picturesquely for it has a pleasing sound), persists.

MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, One mother says: It is very annoying to both mother and baby when the nipple on the nurs- ing bottle insists on collapsing and pre- vents the little baby from getting his dinner.

HE EXPOSTULATED. in some humble village public house, his thoughts flew back to Margate and But by day he sur- rendered himself to another mistress. At Margate the young lady waiied for his letters, so she might know where to write him. “I will write often,” he had promised on his departure ‘Here is a pledge,” he had added, and he had given her a portrait of himself painted No letters came. Months passed. Still not a letter. In a pique she began to listen to the sult of another male charmer. Hope that she would hear from Turner finally died. The day for her wedding to his rival was set. Turner came back just a week be- fore the wedding. When he heard what had taken place he turned frantic “But I wrote you,” he expostulated. “I wrote you frequently. I did not re- ceive any replies from you—but I had faith ir you. I thought I would tind you waiting.” He pleaded with her to break off the marriage. It was too late, she said. Turner departed in despair. “I will never marry,” he declared. He kept his word, too. As for the young lady, her union was tragically unhappy. Later they found out why his letters ' never had been received. e malicious stepmother had interceptedthem.

CORRESPONDENT asks me: “What's the matter with the modern home?" Well, to begin with, too often it lacks permaneney. It is on wheels. literally and figuratively. Children are born in hospitals. They are reared on the street They spend their lives moving from flat to flat. They entertain their friends in hotels and restaurants. They are buried from undertaking establishments and the only permanent residence they ever have is the grave. Now. nobody can have any sentimental feelings toward the baby ward in a hospital. Nobody can have any deep and abiding love for a place that he didn’t live in long enough to learn its address. Nobody nowdays sings is 1o place like home.” because most of us have lived in 47 different homes that were as alike as peas in a pod or bungalows in & new subdivision. Home influence has become negligible because it is a plant of slow growth and not a Jack’s beanstalk that springs up in a single night. a chance to take root before we pull it up and transplant it somewhere else. To get the real home feelind you must own your own home and help { build it until its very soil and every nail in it has become a part of you. You { must have lived in the same house until every room is a record of birth and death, of feasting and merrymaking, of tears and sorrow. You must have lived in it until you have only to shut your eyes to see wedding processions and funerals going down the stairs. You must have lived in it until you have {only to listen to hear the patter of little feet across the floor and the dragging steps of age. i o i You must have lived in it until every stick of furniture is a memory, in order to make it a home that will always be to you the holiest spot on earth and that will drag you back to it across half the world. Another thing that is the matter with modern homes is that they are too little. Too cramped family from digging cach other in the short ribs of their individual idiosycrasies and thereby starting fights. Architecture has more to do with morality than we think, and if I were starting out to reform the world I would begin by smashing all of the little two-by-four kitchenette abominations together and I would give every man, woman and child an individual room that was masquerading as a flower stand or a console that unfolded into a chair, ‘Why. most of the present-day evils are the direct result of little, eramped-up homes. ‘Why are there more old maids than there used to be? Why are there s0 many girls sitting out in parked automobiles nights? Simply because in the modern home there is no place where young people can do their courting. Mother and father and little brother and sister and grandma and grandpa and Uncle James and Aunt Sally are all camped in the living room, and if Gladys Maud's date has anything to say to her of a private nature they have to leave home to say it. And why are there so many hoodlum boys and girls? room enough for them in the home to have their little individual collection of junk. There was no place where they could go by themselves and make al! the noise they wanted to. They were { perpetually under foot and troublesome and annoying and so they were pushed out on the street to play and to acquire the knowledge of the streets and the | manners and morals and ideals of the street.

CRAIG. June 16, 1865—All Union soldiers who desire to retain their arms and accourterments after being mustered out of the service must signify their intention of doing so “before leaving the field,” according to an announce- ment by the War Department pub- | hed here today. This is required in order that the prices may be entered | upon the muster-out rolls. The pay- | menis will be made at the rendezvous | to which the troops are sent for final | discharge. | Within the last few days hundreds of citizens from the South have pre- | sented themselves at Col. Ingraham's office in this city and renewed their oath of allegiance to the United States in accordance with the recent procla- mation of President Johnson. Two | persons, however, belonging to the ex- cepted class, presented themselves yes- terday, giving the amount of their tax- able property as $20,000. They were | detected, and their cases were referred | to the proper authorities for investi- | gation. | The whole of Gen. Sherman's army, | which took part in the grand review here recently, has now taken its de- | parture from Washington, it was | learned officially today. The last troops of this army left here yesterday and now are on’ their way by railroad to Louisville, Ky. There are vet about 30.000 more men | of the Army of the Potomac, which | also participated in the grand review, | | still remaining here to be mustered out of the service and sent to their homes. Col. Ludington, chief quartermaster of the Military Department of Wash- ington, is issuing orders for transporta- | tion to released Confederate prisoners, so that they can go home at the ex- | |pense of the Federal Government, at | | the rate of about 30 men a day, ac-' cording to a statement made at the | War Department this mornt | Most of these released Confederates | were prisoners at the big prison camp | [at Point Lookout, Md., at the mouth of the Potomac River, and have made | | their way northward through Southern | Maryland to this city. The Secretary |of War recently ruled that they might | be sent to their homes in the South at | the expense of the United States Gov- ernment. | | KNOWLEDGE [ | I have ideas truly great, and I could guide the ship of state so she would weather every gale, and triumph always would prevail. I know the tariff issue well; there's naught about it T can't tell; I've studied it through toflsome days | when others went their idle ways: I've | brooded o'er it through long nights | which others gave to vain delights; by |day I've probed its problems deep, I've | dreamed ‘about it in my sleep; I am the only man in sight who knows the tariff left and right, and by and large, and con and pro, and up and down and to and fro. Taxation problems | surely make the bulk of people lie awake and wish they understood a graft that gets their savings fore and aft. Taxation’s rising all the time; we recognize it as a crime; we feel, were justice to prevail, a lot of men would g0 to jail. But few there are who can explain just why the tax is weird and vain, just why it grinds the rich man’s brow ‘and robs the poor man of his cow. I know it all; I have pursued taxation, every perch and rood: it has no wrinkle I don't know, and I would | tell the people so, and prove to them | that I could save our great Republic from the grave, but modern men den't wish to hear of higher things than needled beer; of Carnero and movie | queens and payments due on limousines, | |and all the trifiing things that make | the heart of any thinker break. The | | people do not seem to care for prob- |lems that will bring despair, unless some giant like mysclf sees fit to put them on the shelf. And any man who's wise and great. and tries to talk about our state, will find his audience so cold he'll lose his grip and start to| scold; but if he sings a comic song the boys will boost him good and strong.
