however is more satisfactory to the
children than our usual Sunday night
supper of of chocolate and crackers.
In the matter of starting the days
work Ia the morning, it has never
been any question in this family who
should make the fires. The common
sense of the matter settled that. 1t
belongs to the party who doesn't mind
getting up in the cold, and who can
white when kindlings come short.
Furthermore, while am making my
toilet, [ hear the pump going in the
kitchen, and know that I shall fnd
plenty of water, both warm and cold,
when I get there. My hair is always
combed for the day before begin
work in the morning; it is just as nee
essary to my comfort as to wash face
and hands. A metallic brush is a
great help about expediting matters.
Then, when I have dressed my two
year old boy, if the little baby of all
is still sleeping peacefully, [ proceed
TO the kitchen, there to find the p0ta-
toes boiling nerrily In the pot Except
when they are baking In the oven) SO
1t only remains fer nae to set the coffee
pot on the stove before I pass on to
the pantry to skim the milk (for have
dairy work to do), after which I will
attend to the rest of the breakfast.
Now do not fancy that [ am married
to Betty, or even to man handy
about the house; quite the contrary.
Time wSs when we lived elsewhere
and were quite differently situated,
when, with family half it's present
size and a trustworthy servant. had
no need of these little helps from the
''other half" but the kind thoughtful
ness which adapts itself to circumstan-
ces, hope l appreciate.
To return to the consideration of
making time by saving work, as mine
is family of boys, most of their cloth
ing can be bought ready made. Sew
ing is to me a pleasure and q recrea
ton. [ am always wishing to get
through the routine OF homework to
take my needle. but there are only
twentyfour hours in day, and it is
foolish to buy material and spend time
in making what we can get ready made
at less cost, especially if the time to
make can be secured only by sitting
up late at night. AS to making over
what is already on hand, that is a
different matter, and [ am already to
compete with anyone in that branch
of economy. Ny small children wear
flannel dresses in cold weather, and
gingham ia warm The same garment
which is dress in summer is an apron
in winter. [ use considerable brown
checked gingham; it is not pretty, but
will stand more wear without look
ing soiled than anything I have tried.
My babies go into short dresses when
three months old, regardless of wealth.
| er; am always IN a hurry to get rid
OF the long white dresses. think the
dear babies look prettier, and can be
kept quite as warn in little wooden
dresses with white aprons, and WOODEN
stockings with cunning little slippers.
Then it gives them chance to kick
and develope their strength-Mrs.

Too Much Sweeping.
Marion Harland in Brooklyn Times

The advisability OF giving every
apartment a vigorous 'broom clean
ing" at least once q week has been so
strenuously insisted upon by sonae no
table h0Qsekeepers that it has by
many been converted into an impera-
tive duty. But looking at the matter
in an unprecedented light, one can not
see why a drawingroom, inhabited
perhaps only few hours in the after
and evening, or an unoccupied guest
chamber should acquire the same
amount of publication demanded by
sewing, sitting or dining room. The
dust pan and brush are labor saving
machines that do not receive due ap-
preciation. By their aid in removing
a little dust here and a little there the
business of sweeping a whole room
may be deferred at times, when at the
first glance anything else than a com
plete routing of furniture and dirt to
gether would seem Impossible.

edged on one side with chenille, which
is one of the few raised trimmings,
yet very light and open, has an ex-
tremely elegant and fairy-like appear
ance.
Fans are Of all sizes-that is to say,
very large and very small, and each
lady takes the size she likes best, the
fan being one Of the objects in which
fancy has full play. The most ele-
CANT mountings are of mother-o'- pearl
and white lace with leaves of delicate
hues ornamented with paintings or
embroidery, and a border of white or
light colored feathers. Tortoise shell
or green mother-o'-pearl sticks with
yellow reflections are trimmed with
Chantilly, black or dark colored
frames are covered with motifs in
gouach painting, and black, bright
hued or dark feathers, the latter be-
ing more serieux. Young ladies and
young girls use fans with delicate
mountings of all kinds, covered with
butterflies, birds, flowers and garlands
Of charming blossoms, embroidered
or painted on white or Chinese foun
dation. Ali these fans are finished
with ribbon tied above, so that the
fan May fall lew on the skirt of the
dress Or be attached to the waistband.

The Housewives Garden.
Vick's Magazine.

The housewife should specially in
terest herself in the garden, and IN
most cases she will find that her in
terest and influence will be magnetic,
and will enlist the sympathy and SER
vice of other members of the family.
The country and the village table
should show the tenderest, crispest
radishes, the best, the most buttery,
the best blanched, the most refresh
ing lettuce, and the earliest spinach
the cucumbers direct from the vines,
never subject to willing, should be
crisp, juicy and cool their own pecul-
lar aroma that is so gratifying. City
residents are supplied with cucum-
bers, but usually they are snare and
delusi0n; not once IN twenty times
can good cucumbers be bought at a
city stand; we do not say that they
can not be so handled and kept as to
be offered to customers in prime con
dition; we kdow that they might be,
but they are not-they are almost I'M
iversally Wilted, tough and worthless,
and this is the cause of the bad name
they have associated with them.
Good, fresh cucumbers can be eaten
every day in the year without injury.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Scarfs of fine white lawn are agaiu
fashionably worn.
lvorywhite vests are worn with
velvet, silk and fine wool basqucs of
dark colors.
Bonnets for visits and the theatres
are dainty capotes, fastened with a
single string and jewel brooch.
Throwing the bridal bouquet is an
exciting feature of modern weddings.
Before leaving home the bride losses
her bridal flowers into the air, and
the maiden who is lucky enough to
| catch it as it falls will, if the fates
know what they are about and con-
duct things properly, be the next to
wed. 1t is very pretty custom, but
just where it originated no one has
been able to tell.
Children's hair is rarely allowed to
hang loosely, but is braided, and for
growing girls is either tied with rib
bon a few inches from the ends and
allowed to hang loosely below the tie,
or has the end of the braid turned up
to the head and tied there With rib
bon. The front hair is waved or
brushed back plainly. A few straight
bangs are seen, but they are not con-
sidered al all stylish.
A charming dancing dress is made
of graduated plush and rose pink silk
OF the new Khedive weave, which is
grade heavier and finer tran surah
silk. The front and both side cores
are Of the plush, the back of the silk
with founce of Oriental lace gath
cred in with it and extending to the
bottom of the black drapery. The
effect is odd but pretty. The short
basque is silk, with plain plush vest.
Wolfe combined with lace and other
elegant tissues continues a great fav-
orite. The voile skirts of evening
dresses are often covered with lace
founces and the tunic of wolfe en-
broidered with silk and beads. Lace
and plush are also used together,
panel of dark plush trimming one
side of the skirt and plush revers or
namented with beads the other.
When striped stuffs, such as silk
gauze and foulard are employed, they
are used alone or trimmed with lace
or satin of darker shade. TulIe in
white Or delicate light colors is the
most admired material for young
ladies ball dresses, las we have so often
observed, and decorated with pearl
drops or gold embroidery, sometimes
