, He was as stubborn as a. mule
And she as playful as rabbit.
POOR Kate had scarce become a wife
, Before her husband sought to make her
Inc PINK OF country polished life
AND prlm and formal as a Quaker
One day the tutor went abroad
i And simple Kate sadly missed him:
When he returned behind her lord
She shyly stole and kissed him.
The husbands anger rose, and red
And white his face alternate grew
LESS freedom ma'am!" Kate sighed and said:
"Oh! dear, didn't know twas you"
| LONG mantles, entirely concealing
the dress, of bright-colored lace made
over black or with silk Innings, are
worn for driving. In Paris this style
OF mantle is made of black or white
lace over bright satin or surah Innings.
The parasol and bonnet match the
mantle.
The wooden lace has become so pop
ular that it is now used for making
entire mantles. These mantles are
generally in visite shape, and must al
ways be lined with silk of the same
color as the lace. Those made of the
cream, tan and dark red lace over silk
OF the same color are particularly
stylish.
The fashion of stripes has even ex-
tended to black materials of light text
ure, and though patterns ofspots, etc.,
are still to be seen, stripes predomi-
nate. Black wooden canvas stuffs are
extremely serviceable, and wher
trimmed with silk or wooden lace mak<
| pretty dresses for walking or making
calls IN quiet way.
TAN colored kid gloves, rough-and-
ready hat or bonnet trimmed with a
canvas scarf striped in Roman colors,
a parasol large enough to do duty as
an umbrella and devoid of fripperies,
an inexpensive chatelaine watch, a
gauze or silk grenadine veil, long
enough to cover the face, cross in the
! back, and tie in front in short ends, a.
closing straw tan which can be slipped
into the pocket, are the proper aces
series to lady's travelling outfit.
A LARGE proportion of the soft, all
wool, mixed fabrics which are present
| ed for ladies' wear are very acceptable
for children, and stylish costumes are
made for the little ones in stripes,
plaids and figures. Combination cos
TUNES are still popular, and certainly
pretty and jaunty in effect. Beside
this they are practical, since oppor-
tunity is given for utilizing parts of
| dresses, or dresses which have been
outgrown and which might otherwise
be valueless.
SANDWICHES area standard luncheon
| dish, but as a rule are not made so as
to be tempting, however they may
SATISFY hungry picnickers. If they are
neatly trimmed, cut three cornered,
and rolled, and tied with narrow rib
bon, known as "taste," they are at
tractive. 1t is a good plan to vary
the filling. Have some of chopped
hard boiled eggs; some Of cheese; some
of ham, chicken and sardines. 1t is a
dainty way to do up each sandwich
separately in white tissue paper; it
keeps the bread fresh and adds an ex-
quisite neatness which is appetizing.
For trimming summer dresses en-
! broideries are selected more than
laces Colored embroideries in navy
blue show red and white effects, cardi-
nal grounds are embroidered in black
and white, and others are done in
olive and brown. White embroideries
are in endless variety of patterns,
from narrow edgings to embroidered
founcings deep enough for the entire
skirt. The all over embroideries, both
in white and colors, are in beautiful
open work patterns and used for yokes
and sleeves, and the all over lace nets
for the same purpose are exquisite in
their new designs.
KEEPING the head perfectly clean is
a great aid to health. A distinguished
physician, who has spent much of his
time at quarantine, said that per-
son whose head was thoroughly
washed every day rarely ever took
contagious diseases, but, when the
hair was allowed to become dirty and
matted, it was hardly possible to es-
cape infection. Many persons find
speedy relief for nervous headache by
washing the head thoroughly in weak
soda water. Cases are reported al
most wholly cured in ten minutes by
this simple remedy. Some find it the
greatest relief in case of "rose cold"
the cold symptoms entirely leaving the
eyes after one thorough washing of the
hair The head should be thoroughly
dried afterward, and avoid draughts
of air for little while.
EVERY housekeeper can avoid the
fly nuisance in the kitchen and dining
room by providing against the causes
that attract those annoying insects.
Cleanliness and darkness are the nee
essary weapons against flies. After
each meal the dining-room should be
swept thoroughly and much care ex-
ercised that no crumbs or other fly
| bait lurk in corners or IN dishes. Cut
sugar is to be preferred to granulated
sugar in summer for table use, as it
does not drop from the spoon un-
noticed, to the subsequent delight of
the ever-vigilant fly. Close all the
blinds and doors of the dining room
after each meal, except part of the
window-blind, thes Stats of which should
be turned upward, and if the flies are
not attracted by the few rays of light,
drive them out with the buster, using
care not to knock off globes or orna-
ments. If there are pictures in the
dining-room see that they are hung by
