SELECTED FOR SUPREME COURTI
preme Court vacancy came as a surprise, and did not become known until
the night previous to the nomination, and then it was discussed only among
some of the president’s closest friends. Unusual efforts were made to guard
the secret.
Judge Pitney has already made a name for himself in state and national
politics as congressman and president of the New Jersey state senate.
His elementary schooling was received in his home town, after which
he entered Princeton, from which he graduated in 1879. He received the
degree of master of arts in 1882 and that of doctor of laws in 1908.
HELPS COOK AND SERVE MEAL
Girls employed in--the Outlook of- I
flees held their heads high the other
day and regarded with a somewhat su- |
perior air the other girls in the same ।
building in New York. No less a
personage than Miss Ethel Roosevelt
took luncheon with them in their com
bined dining room and kitchen on the
second floor.
Miss Roosevelt not only said she en
joyed the luncheon, but she also had
a lot of fun waiting on herself and
helping to cook things of the gas
stoves. She was no stranger to the
75 Outlook girls. She attended their
Christmas party, and she knows most
of them by their first names.
Miss Roosevelt did not say what
time she would arrive. Thirty-five of
the girls have their luncheon at 12
o’clock and the others at 1. The
Outlook company furnishes sugar,
milk, butter, tea and coffee, and also
the room and stoves, as well as "Irish '
Mary,” who takes care of the room
and washes the dishes. The girls go out to markets and grocery stores to
buy their food, then bring it back and cook it themselves.
The 12 o’clock squad waited a long ■while In the hope that Miss Roosevelt
would arrive before 1 o’clock. Then they went back to work disappointed.
She arrived in a taxi-cab shortly after 1, to the great delight of the second
squad of lun chers.
Miss Roosevelt went immediately ti^be lunch rooA, threw off her furs,
and unbuttoned her gloves and announced: "Now, give me something to do.”
The girls told her she must sit down and wait till they served her, but
the blood of her father wouldn’t let her. Noe a minute did she sit still. She
helped to scramble eggs and make tea and carried the things to her table.
KING GEORGE MAY VISIT U. s7~
and queen at the time of the coronation. At once a matter of etiquette
arises—namely, that should the king and queen make such an after-corona
tion visit, the president of the United States would be expected to in turn
visit London and the other European capitals after his inauguration. Wheth
er such a thing would be approved by the American people is very doubt
ful, for no president, as such, has ever crossed the Atlantic.
In any event it is believed unlikely that a royal visit to the United States
could take place this year owing to the king’s recent prolonged absence in
India.
HAS MILLIONS FOR CHARITY
Probably In the history of philan
thropy no woman has done more for
charity than Mrs. Russell Sage, who,
since the death of her noted husband,
has been spending millions in the cause
of humanity. Most of her work has
been accomplished through the Russell
Sage Foundation, the scope of which
embraces a wide and worthy field. The
movements helped by the foundation
are as follows: The anti-tuberculosis
campaign, the movement for public
.recreation, the placing out and man
agement of children in institutions,
the medical inspection of schools, the
propaganda in behalf of children’s
school gardens, the propaganda for the
prevention of blindness, especially
among children, and the encourage
ment and extension of charity organ
izations.
These are not the only charities
that have occupied the attention of
Mrs. Sage. She has given large sums
to the furtherance of education in this
country. The principal universities have each received large endowments.
Hospitals and homes for the aged and infirm have also been helped by her
and her gifts to the charities of her bome city, Syracuse, have been most gon

The nomination of Mahlon Pitney,
chancellor of the state- of New Jer
sey, to be an associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, was
sent to the senate the other day by
President Taft. He will succeed the
late John M. Harlan of Kentucky.
The president also nominated Ju
lius M. Meyer of New York city to be
judge of the United States district
court for southern New York, and
Ferdinand A. Geiger of Cassville, Wis.,
to be district judge for the eastern dis
trict of Wisconsin.
The statement that Chancellor Pit
ney would be named as the successor
of Justice John M. Harlan was made
at the White House subsequent to a
caJJ by John W. Griggs, former attor
ney-general of the United States, and
a delegation of New Jersey lawyers,
all of whom spoke of'Judge Pitney in
the highest terms.
The fact that Mr. Taft would likely
select Chancellor Pitney for the Su-
That the plan to have King George
visit the United States this year or
next will be submitted to him soon
seems assured, though in official cir
cles not a word is being said aloud on
the subject.
There is a feeling in court and po
litical circles that such a visit, if
practicable, would present many very
desirable features. But there are
many difficulties in the way, not in
superable, but presenting for the
diplomats and the statesmen a task
that they regard as prodigious.
As is. understood here, the plan
would contemplate a visit by both
king and queen to Washington, just
as, according to ancient usage, the
newly crowned sovereigns are re
quired to pay their respects to the
rulers of the European states. This
custom might in effect be described
as the returning of the calls made
by the heads of other countries or
their representatives upon the king

Here is one of the latest veils worn by fashionable society women,
with the novel “swirl” on one cheek. These veils carry every conceivable
design from an alligator to a rosebush, and give a curious tattooed effect
to the wearer.
WOMAN HAS CLEVER SCHEME
Possible Accidents to Costumes, No
Matter What Their Color, Are
All Provided For.
At one of the debutante teas the
hostess, a woman noted for her fastidi
ous dressing, tore her gown so badly
that repair was necessary. A friend
accompanied her to her room to sit
and chat while the mending was go
ing on. The maid brought out a sew
ing case filled with needles threaded
with silks and cottons of all colors. It
took but a moment to select the re
quired color and the repairs were
quickly made. The guest thereupon
remarked on the advantage of having
threaded needles ready at hand. The
hostess proudly admitted that this was
her own brilliant idea, as it made her
nervous to see a maid try and try
again for a needle eye when she wq
hurried. She says she not only has a
stock of needles threaded in black and
white, but on the day a colored frock
is worn needles are threaded in that
color and placed in the workbasket.
It takes only a few minutes on a bright
day to thread needles and the system
really saves time, eyesight and, most
precious of all, patience.
GOOD COMBINATION.

Dainty Dresser Cover.
For a dresser cover, take three em
broidered handkerchiefs, sew a row of
insertion ’around each one; then join
them together, and put a narrow lace
around all; line with any preferred
color of cambric, tacking at each cor
ner so it can be easily removed for
laundering. Put at each corner a bow
of ribbon the color of the lining.
This makes a very pretty dresser
cover.
BLACK AND WHITE COSTUME
Idea That Really Never Has Lost
Favor Comes With New Versions
of the Mode.
Black and white costumes, it seems,
have been revived, though probably
few have ever been able to discover
that they were in need of any such
process. A smart new version of the
mode may be seen in a suit consisting
of a white linen skirt and a black
taffeta coat, in Russian blouse style,
which is adorned with white linen
buttons and buttonholes bound with
white linen. Another striking black
and white combination is in a gown
of oyster white satin, the skirt of
which opens in front to show an up
ward turning point of black satin,
underskirt. This is all the black
there is, except in the girdle, which is
j>f black velvet. A hat that would be
"Altogether stunning worn by the right
woman is a wide black straw of
graceful lines, which is entirely cov
ered on the upper side by a drapery
of white chiffon. The trimming is a
flat mass of pure white roses.
The Living Room.
In choosing chairs for the living room
the individual requirements of the
members of the family should be re
membered, so that when the family is
gathered together there will be a com
fortable spot for each member.
The curtains, too, should be chosen
in accordance with the needs and de
sires of the family.
Since the living room is always
where the privacy of home life is en- •
joyed, the curtains should, if neces
sary, serve as protection from passers
by.
On the other hand, the room will
probably require all the light possible.
A happy arrangement is often made by
having upper and lower curtains. Such
sash curtains are made in two tiers
and hung on two sets of Ijjass rods,
so that either the upper or lower half,
or both, can readily be drawn aside.
Narrow Belts Smart.
While wide girdlelike belts are fash
ionable, there is something chic and
smart about the narrow belt which the
former lack.
Black patent leather belts one and a
half inches in wicjth are popular.
These are decorated with a buckle to
match, or one of antique silver. Plain
stitched cloth belts to match the suit
are also worn. Sometimes' these ar*
trimmed with tiny whitq_buttons ar
ranged in a design at the back.
Narrow satin belts are in demand.
Some are made of contrasting color
from that used in the dress.
Suede and leather belts are made in
all widths desired, and in every color.

Every effort Is being made to pro
duce novelties. Many colors are being

sage green, sea blue, raspberry red.
The colored shoes are wost with
dresses to match, and with white and
black gowns, and colored stockings

black shoes. N</w black stockings

lines from the knee, which looks like

“Life is a dreary vale.” he said, “a place
of sighs and sorrow.
I "feel I would be better dead; I hate to
see tomorrow.
One endless round of nothingness, one
endless, gloomy highway,
A Btony hill of sore distress, without a
cheerful byway.
“I know I’m healthy as can be, and that
I have some money.
But I am one who cannot see the world
that you call sunny;
I rise at early morn with groans, I spend
my day complaining—
Bpeak not to me in cheerful tones; your
gladness I’m disdaining.
“Men hustle madly here and there, with
countenances brutal;
They spend their hours in work and care,
in efforts that are futile;
Their speech is all deceit and lies, their
deeds are wholly selfish,
Each for his own base profit tries like
some absorbing shellfish.
“I do not care to hear some songs, nor
speeches by the smartest,
I do not care what praise belongs to
sculptor or to artist;
There’s nothing that makes life worth
while; this world can cheer me
never;
It’s just a weary mile on mile; I would
leave It forever.”
Just then he felt a sudden pain; alarmed
at his condition
He phoned with all his might and main,
to summon a physician;
His trembling hands, his anguished eye,
told only half his worry.
“Make haste!” he cried. “I fear I’ll die!
Oh, hurry, doctor, hurry!”

“Pardon me, Mr. Meddergrass,” says
the lately arrived guest to the land
lord of the Sylvan Glade summer ho
tel, “pardon me if I seem impertinent,
but my curiosity has been aroused.”
“I am sure you could not inten
tionally be impertinent,” replies Mr.
Meddergrass. “What has aroused
your curiosity?”
“I notice that in speaking to me
and most of the rest of the boarders
you—er —you use language —that is,
you speak plain, good English. But
when talking to the Justgottits and
one or two others you adopt a quaint,
old homestead dialect such as is heard
on the stage or read in so-called rural
novels.”
“Yes,” smiles Mr. Meddergrass.
“You see, the people you mention
would not enjoy country life unless
they had the accepted country dialect,
•so by paying a few dollars extra on
the week they induce us to use noth
ing but that style of conversation to
ward them.”
NECESSARY STATEMENT.
“This is a terrible oversight of
yours,” growled the city editor to the
new reporter.
“How’s that?” asked the new re
porter, in tones that indicated a glad
ness over having committed his terri
ble oversight for that day.
“In your story of the speech of Hon.
Win D. Jammer at the convention you
do not say that he sounded the key
note of the campaign.”
Some day the new reporter will
learn that it is not wise to trample
so ruthlessly upon the time-honored
traditions of journalism.
No Wonder He Was Angry.
“What makes the Armless Wonder

response. “Honor thy mother and

response. “These are certainly suf
