A8 mistress of a $5,000,000 home raffed by 30 servants, with a fleet of motor cars at her call. Mrs. Hoover mav be envied by the unknowning. But the social strain of the position, according to Mrs. Rinehart, actually •destroved the first Mrs. Wilson, definitely broke the health of Mrs. Taft, and undoubtedly was a. large factor in the death of Mrs. Harding." jf rs . Coolidges comparative youth and calm temperament have been her saving factors, she says, while "Mrs. Hoover, physically, mentally and tempermanetally is notably fitted for her duties." But the duties themselves. Mrs. Rinehart shows, constitute probably the most trying situation that can be* faced by an American woman today. Mrs. Hoover, for example, must put aside her intimate friends at once, save as they fit into official functions. The president and his wife make no calls except upon the vice-president and members of the cabinet. There is not time for others. She must plan and supervise from 17 to 35 large and formal White House functions a year—cabinet dinners, diplomatic dinners, musicales, garden parties and receptions. To these are added the hundreds of private dinners, luncheons, even breakfasts, plus afternoon teas at which she must receive diplomats' wives, congressmen's wives, wives of visiting notables. Her day begins with conferences with the housekeeper on menus and arrangements for the day's entertainments, and with her social secretary, who with a corps of assistants has sorted the scores of let’ers which pour in daily. If she goes to shop, it is with a secret service guard at her elbow, the World's Work article points out. If she dares to stop at the home of a friend for an intimate chat, a thousand other women of equal social status are offended—so that she does not dare. She must recognize some of the demands made on her time by charity and welfare organizations, yet she cannot recognize all. So constant is the strain that it has become customary for the president and his wife to retire while even the formal White House functions are at their height in oder to get the rest necessary for the next day. o-

the spotlight, of attention, because he aflonce can tell at first hand of the battle of the Monitor and Merrimac. The veteran's account of the battle in Hampton Roads Is graphic and minute. He tells how the Monitor hastily built after news of the Merrimac’s operations had reached Union ears, steamed toward the Virginia shore before dawn on the morning of March 9. 1862. It was a low, strange-looking craft with a single turret, plated over all with thick armor. Much smaller than the only other metal warship of the time, the Merrimac, it boldly attacked the Confederate vessel, each discharge of cannon shaking the little boat from stem to stern. All day the two clumsy antagonists maneuvered and fired, until the Merrimac, dented with cannon balls, its men mostly injured or exhausted, gave up and steamed away. “It was a great fight,” McKenzie testifies.

Mr. Anguish stated that the goal set for 1929 is an increase of 66 per cent., both in the number of troops and the number of Scouts. He states that this objective is well within the scope of mason and present indications are that It will be attained with very little difficulty. Progress during the past <A-ar shows that centers have been organized as I full participating units in the. area I council at Decatur; ut Bluffton, under which is also Vera Cruz and Key- | stope; at Kendallville; at Garrett land Angola.

Brighter Colors To Mark Spring Attire For Men London, Feb. 26 - t(j.P) Youthful I Londoners whoso spring fancies lightly turn to thoughts of clothes will find a general tendency toward brighter suitings according to Bond street tailors. Said one clothes authority: "Grey will be the predominate color, silver greys ami greys with faint stripes, “Double-breasted Jackets will still be worn, but the three-button singlebreatsted cont will be more popular, and the collar softly rolled. The coat will be buttoned only on the middle button, and will be cut fairly long. I "A single-breasted waistcoat will be worn with it, as the double-breasted one is going more and more out of favor. f "Roth turn up and turn-down trousers will be worn, also cut long and breaking with i the shoe. Trousers will be fairly wide, but nothing approaching Oxford bags will be seen.' There will be few changes in men's .shirtings and shoes. The verdict is
