WHO WILL BE OUEEH OF WHITE HOUSE Three Interesting Girls Candidates to Succeed Ethel Roosevelt.

ALL OF THEM ARE WORTHY MISS HELEN TAFT, MISS GRACE BRYAN AND MISS DESDEMONIA CHAFIN HAVE CHARMS WHICH RE PRONOUNCED. Washington, D. C, July 25. When Chief Justice Fuller administers the oath of office to the president on March 4, 1!X0, a new debutante will reign in the White House. During the seven months that remain in President Roosevelt's term Miss Ethel Carrow Roosevelt will hold the enviable position. She will make her formal bow next winter after a few weeks of joys which were once those of her sister Alice, her reign in the executive mansion will be at an end and she will yield her honors to a successor. Who will be the White House debutanteMiss Helen Taft, Miss Grace Bryan or Miss Desdemonia Chafln of Chicago? Misses Taft and Roosevelt Chums. Miss Taft and the president's daughter are old friends. They spent their younger days together at the White House and were later associated as students at the National Cathedral . schools for girls. Miss Bryan, younger daughter of the democratic nominee for president, knows little of the life within the executive mansion except as she may . have seen it from the long line of visitors at some of the state receptions. Miss Chafln is the youngest of this trio of social aspirants, being but 13 years old. Like Miss Bryan, she is a western girl, democratic, vivacious, and pretty, hardly realizing the prominence of her position should her father be chosen as the next president of the United States. All Four Like Outdoor Life. Among the four girls, Ethel Roosevelt, Helen Taft, Grace Bryan, and Desdemonia Chafin, there is a pretty contrast. The first three are Miss Chafln's senior by two years, and all are typical American girls in that they are lovers of out door life and are as full of enthusiasm as four bright, spirited girls could be. But they are widely different. The daughter of the president has developed in quite a different sort of girl from what was predicted. When 6he was a tot running about the White House and slipping in at the most formal gatherings of the social season, she was regarded as something of a tomboy. She rpde her wheel with the boys of the family and their friends. Shock the Fastidious Ones. She was up on young Archie's pony before anybody could stop her, and it was vaguely hinted that Miss Ethel was materially concerned in a bit of unconventional fun the younger members of the family had at one of the first state receptions given after her father assumed the reins of office, and which prety nearly shocked the ultrafastidious. When Miss Roosevelt was a student at the National Cathedral school for girls she reminded one of a straight, high growing flower. She carried herself erect, her head thrown back, and her soft, wavy hair dresed simply at the back of her neck with a large bow of ribbon. Her dresses just reached her shoe tops, and she looked the child she was, every inch. Many false alarms were sent out about the date of Miss Ethel's debut at the White House, and when she was withdrawn from the National Cathedral school or rather did not restime her studies last fall every one was convinced she would be among the buds of the winter. She was not formally brought, out, although she atended all the state functions at the White House when she, was in Washington, and was quite as much in the social whirl as her elder sister, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. She mingled among the guests in the blue room, where the special friends and the president's family are invitpd. and would then wander out into the DOUBLE STAMPS DOUBLE STAMPS Wednesday and Thursday July 29-30 At the Model Grocery Co. 33 N.

east room and corridors where the public gathered. No Longer. a Little Girl. ' At these affairs the public did not see. the straight young school girl of the year before, but a young woman, her frocks let down to the floor, her hair piled on her head, and the added touch giving to her the very earmarks of a social bud the drawn, drooping rnoulders which the girls of the smart set have adopted as a pose. Her straight lines were all lost in this latest acquirement, and every one said, "Ethel Roosevelt has come out" So if a coming out party is given this winter for the younger daughter of the president it will not in any sense be for the purpose of introducing her to society. She has met societyofficial, diplomatic and otherwise. Ethel and Helen Much Together. The friendship between Miss Roosevelt and Miss Helen Taft has not been so marked during the last year, for the reason that Miss Taft was a student during the last session at the preparatory school at Bryn Mawr. Miss Roosevelt had her private tutors at home. But before that the two children as they were then were devoted companions. They could be seen almost any time at the matinees together, sitting down in the orchestra chairs, munching away at sweets and unrecognized by those about them. Helen Taft spent much of her time at the white house romping through the corridors with the president's children and enjoying an occasional peep at a state function, usually the public reception on New Year's day. Miss Taft Hopes for White House. Miss Taft is a wholesome sort of young girl, full of life, yet having a dignified personality. She is a thorough student of everything that concerns her father and is confident that the 4th of next March will see him seated in the white house chair. Miss Taft has inherited her parents love of outdoor life and is a great devotee of golf and tennis. She graduated with high honors from the preparatory school at Bryn Mawr in May, having received the prize of $300 for submitting the best entrance examination for the college. When her father heard the news he beamed and said: "I would rather know that than be president of the United States." Will Continue in College. Miss Taft does not possess her mother's love for music, but is a great reader. She knows how to have a good time too, but has declared that she will go to college for at least two years, which , means that should her father be elected she would not take her place immediately in society. Her friends are smiling, for even with her great love for her books they declare she Is not strong enough to resist the temptation of becoming the "first young lady of the land" Jn fact, if the opportunity presents itself. Miss Bryan Not in Public Eye. Miss Grace Bryan, the younger daughter of Wr. J. Bryan, is a typical Western girl, although she is receiving her education at a seminary, Hollis institute in Roanoke, Va. Little has been heard of her because her parents have kept her out of the public eye so far as possible. But she is most attractive and quite serious for a girl of her years. When her sister, Mrs. Leavitt, was one of the most conspicuous visitors in Denver during the recent convention, Miss Grace remained at Fairview the family home at Lincoln, scarcely able to contain herself. She was too young to go, and like the good na-

tured girl she is, remained contentedly at tome. Mies Bryan spent the Christmas holidays In Washington last year as the guest of her parents' friends, Mr. and Mrs. Cotter T. Bride. A son of the Brides' married a niece of Vice Pres ident Fairbanks. The Brides have a modest home just across the street from the Library of Congress, and it was here that Miss Bryan was entertained. Circles Globe With Father. She Is a good talker and has remark able poise. She made the trip around the world with her father recently and has traveled with him extensively. She is very fair, with bright eyes and a spirited manner. Like Miss Taft, she is quite confident that her own father will sway public favor toward the ticket he represents in November. Miss Chafin Typical School Girl. Miss Desdemona Chafin, the Chicago aspirant for the honors of being the White House debutante, is a typical school girl. With a wealth of brown hair, dark flashing eyes and healthy pink cheeks, she is aptly fitted to reign as a daughter of a President. Unlike Miss Taft or Miss Bryan, she has never had the advantage of a private school training, but is an eighth grade pupil at the McPherson grammar school. She is a leader in the classroom, as well as on the play ground, and has attained a high grade in her public school work. Miss Chafln has inherited from her father a gift for forensics and is a talented elocutionist. She and her father are inseparable companions, and Desdemona has every confidence in her father's ability to be elected President in the coming election. Miss Ethel Will Enjoy This Winter. But until one of these three young girls comes to the White House, Miss Ethel Roosevelt will be the belle. She has never missed an opportunity to get all the fun she could out of everything and she means to make her last winter in the White House a record breaker. What the President and Mrs. Roose velt did not do for Miss Alice it is a matter of social history that aside from her debut ball they gave no special entertainments for her except a few small dinners they will prob ably do for the younger daughter of the family, and Miss fc-tnel win be right there with the capacity to enjoy everything. She celebrated her seventeenth birthday in August, and society now that it has ceased to wonder when she will come out is speculating as to whether the President and Mrs Roosevelt will permit their regime to come to an end without announcing their youngest daughter's engagement.

Jim Squid, ex-sailorman and expert handler of India ink "points" is hiding from irate fathers and brothers of a score of fair bathing maids since the latter proudly, if unwisely, appeared on the beach with tattoo marks on their fair arms and shoulders. Spectators perched in beach chairs gasped when they saw the first girl swing up the beach bearing on her rounded uper arm an entwined anchor and cable, and the surprise widened into a shock when it was discovered that other beach maidens had adopted the fad of having their arms marked with various devices emblematic of their bent toward either marine proclivities or those relating to the merry little Dan Cupid. At first glance it was supposed that the marks, which ranged from the anchor aforesaid to hearts pierced with arrows, were merely printed on the browned 'skins of their wearers for joking purposes. When the truth was discovered that the marks were needled in and practically indelible there was a general stampede among parents to discover the . source of the practice. Several doting fathers remembered seclusion of their daughters for several days and a general dislike to having arms touched, and there were explosions of wrath that threaten ill for the foxy Jim Squid if he is caught. It is said that the old sailorman had a small shop in the Bowery section of the board walk and that ha had taken in several hundred dollars before discovery of his work was made. Efforts to find him were futile, and it is believed that he has decamped with his profits. In the meantime his customers, or, ra'ther, victims, are proudly showing the results of his art every time they don their bathing rigs, and it is likely that there will be another set of jobs for an expert who can remove the marks.

STRANGE REASONS GIVEN. Washington, D. C, July 25. What will become of Mr. Roosevelt's "nice young men" If Bryan is elected. This problem is really giving serious con cern to the pleasant, and notably the dinner-giving aliens sojourning tern porarily "in our midst." It seems an odd sort of thing to worry about, but Washington is a curious place, unlike other cities in many of its aspects, and in residents, both permanent and flitting have anxieties and responsibil Itles unknown to urban dwellers where the social population is less transient and changing than it is here Hostesses aver that a shortage ex ists in Washington of presentable young men who can be called upon at short notice to fill vacant places at a dinner table. Toward the end of the winter apprehension was expressed at many dinner tables lest Mr. Bryan come to Wash ington, bringing with him in subor dinate capacities youths from the corn and hog raising states who might be addicted to the prudent usage of mash ing their peas. Whether Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan is elected, the tennis court in the rear of the executive offices seems certain to become once more a flower bed for the display of geometrical figures of early blooming crocusesfl or a play ground for children. If Mr. Taft is elected, the existing apprehension will be greatly relieved He will be expected to keep in office or supplant with equahy presentable and charming young persons such present officeholders as Alfred W Cooley, Robert Bason.

ROSE EXPERT TELLS OF FLOWER CULTURE

E. G. Hill, One of the Best Known Experts, Talks Of the Rose. HAS RETURNED FROM PARIS TELLS OF THE GREAT G RAVER EAUX GARDENS WHICH HAVE BEEN THROWN OPEN TO THE FRENCH PEOPLE. During E. G. Hill's recent sojourn in France, where he went to act as a judge in the Paris International Rose show, members of his family and business associates reeeived several very interesting letters from him. These letters are of especial interest to the public as they speak on roses and rose culture and there is no one who is not intenfted in roses, the most beautiful of flowers. Mr. Hill is regarded as one of the greatest rose experts In the world. In one very interesting letter Mr. Hill descirbes the celebrated rose plantation near Paris belonging to M. Jules Gravereaux. Not long ago this public spirited Frenchman made his rose plantation a public park and each year he has a committee of five rose experts Judge the plants on the plantation. This year Mr. Hill acted as one of the judges. In this letter Mr. Hill makes the Interesting statement that for red roses, the Richmond is now almost exclusively raised for winter supply. He also states that greenhouse culture of roses in Europe is almost impossible. Speaking of his love of roses Mr. Hill makes the comment that he combines this love with a commercial Instinct. "Too often the enthusiast in the line of art or invention seems to have the commercial instinct entirely absent from his make up," he comments. Mr. Hill states that he has now in Richmond fifty large plants of the Lyon rose, which received the highest grading at the rose show, and that they will be ready for the market this year. He states they were Imported last fall. The letter referred to is as follows: M. Jules Gravereaux is the owner of the Bon Barche, the largest depart ment store in Paris and, probably In the world, a man of great wealth and of exquisite taste; he is passionately fond of roses and of rose growing, and upon an estate bordering the city of Paris, he has gradually gathered together thousands of roses of every known species and family, beautifully assorted in parterres, and all most carefully classified and legibly labeled. There are arches, pillars and lat tices covered with sheets of bloom in the climbing section; here are formal beds of parti-colored roses, trained in close bush from and producing gay Dresden and Pompadour effects; here are rampant growers which disdain the pruning shears, and run a riot of glorious red and pink and rose colors. while they burden the air with odors of musk and of June. The extent and beauty of his won derful collection must have finally im pressed M. Gravereaux as being too unique and interesting for private ownership, and so a very few years since with the beautiful dignity and formality so native to the French, the owner of this delightful "Roserie de l'Hay" presented his magnificent garden to the city of Paris, condition ed upon carrying forward his care fully planned outlines. At the time of the presentation. M. Gravereaux must have felt that his plantation contained every obtainable rose that would thrive In the locality of Paris; i his program did not, however, propose to stop here, but arrangements were made to add to the garden the worthy! novelties of each year, from all the prominent growers over the world. Five strong plants of each novelty were to be sent for bedding in the garden In the month of March; these, If sufficiently established, were to be Judged the following June, by a jury to be appointed by a municipal committee, which was to comprise five well known Rosarians selected from as wide a territory as possible. The Jury for 1908 consists of Wm. Paul, of London; Peter Lambert of Trier, Germany; M. Loupert, of Luxemburg, E. G. Hill of Richmond and Secretary Forestier of Paris. Judging of Novelties. The novelties must be judged by points, ten, being the maximum: points to be considered are first, constitution; second, color; third, form and fullness; fourth, size of bloom; fifth, odor; sixth, texture and keeping qualities; seventh, stiffness of stem: eighth, amplitude of foliage; ninth and tenth, distinctiveness from existing varieties. These points, of course, apply to outdoor bedding, roses and do not cover what, in America, are termed forcing varieties, that is, those to be grown in dors for cut blooms from October to May. It is not generally known that of a thousand existing varieties of "everblooming roses" now in commerce, such as La France, Marechal Niel, Perle des Jardlnes, Niphetos, Safrano, Sofaterre, Marie Guillot, Maman Cochet and an endless procession of other garden beauties only five sorts are used In quantity for forcing purposes. Go to any greenhouse in the country during the cut flower season and ask for white roses. You will be given Bride In nine cases out of ten, with probably Ivory NEW OPERAS "A Stubborn Cinderella." ."The Yankee Prince." "Mary's Lamb." PAUL E. WILSON. Phone 2074. (Adams' Drug Store)

jttat What You want of the food you need Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it. Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if It is weak. You must eat in order to live and maintain strength. You must not diet, because the body require that you eat a sufficient amount of food regularly. But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will help the stomach. The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol digest the food. Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that. in the tenth case. Ask for pink and your order will probably be filled with Bridesmaid, though Killarney is now pushing hard for first place, and there are Chatenay and one or two others successful with a few growers. For red. f Richmond is used almost exclusively, only an occasional bench of Liberty now being found and we have our American Beauty so that we can safely say that ninety per cent of all the winter cut roses are Bride, Richmond, Bridesmaid, Killarney and American Beauty. A hundred times a year the florist is asked "why don't you grow Bonsilene and Marecbal Niel and Malmaison? I am simply hungry for some of the dear old roses that my mother used to grow in her garden." The sole reason Is that they do not produce perfect blooms in suffient quantity in the winter time to pay for the space they occupy. Many of the finest summer bloomers in the open, though given heat and moisture in the greenhouse, refuse to open perfectly and come with very bad color and the florist of average intelligence, will not plant a variety the second time, that he has found a financial failure the previous season. Different in Europe. In Europe,' conditions are very different in rose culture. There the rose is par excellence. The Queen of the Gardn, from royalty down, through all classes, to the hublest cottager, roses are planted in profusion, and are dearly loved by rich and poor alike. The climate and soil suit them to perfection, but the dark cloudy winters prevent the florist from hand ling them in their greenhouses as we do n America. They cannot plant in soil on the bench as we do, because the soil would remain wet and become sour and a crop of mildew and black spot would result The producing of cut roses in winter is next to Impossible, so that in Judging a new rose, its garden qualities are paramount and its forcing qualities are never known until tried out in America. In this country, a new out door rose, if better than existing sorts, will meet with a fair sale of several thousand plants, but a distinct new sort that will force in the winter time, can be sold by the ten thousand. Take the Richmond for instance; it has most of the points that go to make up a very profitable winter rose; a free grower; healthy and disease resisting; very quick in producing new growths and every growth crowned with a scarlet bud of grand size. Last March at the American Rose show held In the Art Museum, there were 12 vases of Richmond, each con taining 100 blooms of enormous size. on stiff stems 4 feet long. The finest ase came all the way from Boston, sent by W. H. Elliott, who says it is the most profitable rose that te has ever grown and every florist in the country Is now growing it in larger or smaller quantity. But, Richmond would not rank in France as a garden rose with many older red sorts, from the fact that it opens too quickly in the hot sunshine, showing too few petals. My efforts in cross-fertilization have been to produce forcing varieties adaptable to our winter culture, for very fortunately I combine the business sense which enables me to view the rose commercially as well as the pure delight to be found in its culture and in the production of new forms and colors. Too often the en thusiast in any line of art or invention seems to have the commercial In stinct entirely absent from his makeup. When, therefore, I was invited by M. Jules Gravereaux to send on for Inspection by the Jury, my new roses which were to be dlssemmati to the trade, he had to select from the seed
