How Women Rest.

How differently. men and women
indulge themselves in what is called a
resting spell. II guess I'll sit down
and mend these stockings and rest
awhile" says the wife, but her hus-
band throws himself upon the easy
lounge or sits back in his arm chair,
with hands at rest and feet placed hor-
izontally upon another chair. The re-
suit is that his whole body gains full
benefit of the half hour he allows him
self from work, and the wife only re-
ceives that indirect help which comes
from change of occupation. A physi-
clan would tell her that taking even
ten minutes rest in a horizontal posi-
ton, as a change from standing or sit
ting at work, would prove more bene-
fetal to her than any of her make
shifts at resting. Busy women have
a habit of keeping on their feet just as
long as they can, in spite Of backaches
and warning pains. AS they grow
older they see the folly of permitting
such drafts upon their strength and
learn to take things easier let what
will happen. They say: II used to
think ! must do thus and so, but I've
grown wiser and learned to slight
things" The first years of house
keeping are truly the hardest, for I'm
tried and unfamiliar cares are almost
daily thrust upon the mother and
home maker st. Paul Pioneer Press.

The Christmas Plum Pudding.

Chop and rub to a cream one-half pound of
suet. Add scant half pound of sugar. Mix
we'll Add three well beaten eggs, one nut
meg grated. one-half teaspoonful of Glove,
one-half teaspoonful of mace, one-half tea
spoonful of salt, one-fourth cup of brandy,
one cup of milk and one-half pound Of flour.
Then add one-half pound of raisins, one-half
pound Of currants and three-eighths of pound
Of citron. Steam from five to eight hours.
This is Boston cooking school recipe, in
regard to which it is explained that the
amount of the recipe will fill a large mold,
that the suet should be rubbed for long time
after removing the skin and strings and the
raisins should DO chopped. If brandy is
omitted more milk must be used, for the mix
ture when ready for steaming should be
much thinner than the usual suet pudding.
The longer the pudding issteamed the better.
This pudding is recommended as keeping for
years, but the omission Of brandy will, of
course, diminish the keeping quality. AS it
can be prepared beforehand, this is an excel
lent pudding for Christmas, for it is that
much labor saved to the cook on the busy
day. The sauce for the pudding is made Is
follows:
Cream two cups butter, add slowly one cup
powdered sugar, the unbeaten white Of one
egg, two tablespoonfuls wine and one of
brandy, and one-fourth cup boiling water.
Heat until smooth and creamy. Heat the
bowl for the creamed butter, and when add
ing the wine and brandysdo SO slowly in
order to prevent curdling.

making these pillows, Good Housekeeping

The two narrow ends Of the pillow are fin

make this you cut the cord into twenty-five
inch lengths; take two of these lengths and
draw them through the denim an eighth of
an inch from tho edge; twist them tightly
and tie little two inch tassel made of the
cord into the end. Repeat thus along the end
of the pillow at intervals Of an inch or an
inch and quarter. The fine macreme or
hammock cord is the kind used.

stitches that even simple design involves,

Dainty baby pillows are made by covering
the plain bed ticking case with pink or pale
blue silesia and then making the little pillow
slips of fine linen fastened at both ends with
pearl studs and borders of drawn work or
lace insertion above the hem.

A Good Fruit Cake.

Good fruit cake, like fine wine, grows better
with age; the cake concocted before Christ
mas, so far from deteriorating, will become
richer and more melting as it and the holt
day season together draw to close. A fine
cake may be made with the following ingre-
dents: One pound of sifted -four. one pound
of butter, one Of powdered white sugar,
twelve eggs, one and half pounds of raisins,
one and half of currants, one tablespoonful
of cinnamon, one tablespoonful Of mace, two
nutmegs, one pound of citron one glass of
wine, half glass of brandy and half glass of
rosewater mixed together. Pick the cur
rants clean, wash them and drain them
through a colander; wipe them in a
towel, spread them out and set them to dry
by the fire. Stone the raisins and cut them
in halves. Sprinkle both currants and raisins
with the flour to prevent them from settling
to the bottom of the cake Cut the citron
into thin slices and put it into the liquor.
Put the butter into the sugar, warm it and
stir it to cream Beat the eggs as light as
possible, add them to the butter and sugar al
ternately with the flour. Add the remaining
ingredients gradually; stir all as hard as
possible for ten minutes. Bake in pan lined
with white paper, well buttered. for three
hours or more.

Ono anecdote to show what an en-
dowment greater than beauty can do:
Charlotte Cushman, a. we know, had
soul but little physical attraction. !
have heard gentleman say who saw
her act in the LADY Of Lyons" that
when she first appeared on the stage a.
Pauline, he felt inclined to question
whether Claude Melnotte or ally other
man could consider himself the lover
of a woman SO apparently lacking in
every feminine grace. But by the
time the play was finished he found
himself wondering not II any man
could love her. but that every man did
not. To such an extent can genius
triumph over merely physical de-
fects.
Can women without beauty hope,
then, for sway not only over the minds
but the hearts of menu Yes, If the
lack does not extend deeper than the
skin, which is supposed to be the
boundary line of all physical lowell
ness. Though she may find herself
iostled aside by some dazzling belle in
the crowded ball room, she may look
for recognition where the heart desires
it most, and where are hidden those
roots whose flower and fruition are
the fullest honor and the completest
happiness. Anna Katharine Green.

ity last evening at fashionable con-
cert. The lobby was crowded by the
arriving ladies and gentlemen, the
former mostly in new opera wraps. ]

themselves unconsciously but fondly

The wraps were generally drawn for
ward until they were tense. and com
forting around the waist and shout
ders, and then the hands Of the wearers
were caressingly held on their own
opposite forearms, or were in some
way instinctively fondling the owner.
All through the performance l inves-
tigated my new discovery. On every
side were ocular evidences Of woman's
born desire to be lovingly petted. They
were holding their own arms, squeez-
ing themselves with their own elbows,
pressing their hearts with their own
soft biceps, and in all these uncon-
scious indulgences they were demon
strating that woman was made to hug.

POPULAR FINGER RINGS.

1t is safe to say that finger rings are in
greater demand than ever. Both sexes wear
them, and both sexes, in large measure, use
their own personal taste in the selection of
these ornaments. Fashion does not prescribe
many limitations in the matter.
Fancy rings in gold or silver remain as
popular as ever A taking novelty in this
class Of jewelry has been recently introduced
under the name Of the puzzle ring. This
newcomer, when in shape to wear, represents
four strands of gold interlaced in loosely
braided pattern over the top Of the finger.
When Off the finger and shaken apart this
ring is veritable puzzle.
The fancy for silver rings set with gems
continues among men, and there are many
novel and ingenious devices shown in these
this autumn. Two snakes twisted one above
the other, and with heads meeting on top,
furnish popular design, especially when the
eyes Of the serpents are represented by small
gems. A plain gold or silver band with
gem sunk in the center is another popular
ring. A rams head, the horns of which turn
back and meet so as to form ring is an old
idea revived in these rings. A favorite ring
is one in slender gold setting containing
small but fine gem. A ring Of gold rope tied
in a tiny knot on top and set with a gem is
attractive.
Something quite new for the winter season
is the opera glass holder, made to fitany opera
glass. This very convenient continuance is
sort of telescope handle of pearl, ivory or
silver that can be shortened or heightened at
will, and when adjusted to glass renders
the latter as convenient to hold as is q lorg-

Quite q Change.

Twenty five years ago the now Prin-
cess of Wales and future queelLof Eng
land was living on the third floor of a
corner house in Copenhagen, and her
father, who no one ever dreamed then
of being king. was poorer than many
burger in the same street. She and
her two sisters, now the czarina of
Russia and Duchess of Cumberland,
occupied the same room, scantily fur
nished, and instead of wardrobe a
curtain drawn across the wall hid the
pegs on which their few dresses hung.
They had never worn a silk dress in
their lives. Now Alexandra doubtless
has all the dresses she wants, but it is
more than likely that she looks back
with pleasure upon those years as the
happiest of her life.

Novelties In Lingerie.

Lingerie for q trousseau, seen at recent
opening in New York city, comprised num-
Der Of charming novelties. In breakfast and
tea jackets there was plethora of choice.
Blue, creamand pink silk had been tucked
back and front, also the sleeves, and TRIM
med with lace; and one with a mignonette
brocade of pink shade was trimmed with
white duchess lace. The nightgowns were
all trimmed around the hem and down the
entire front. The least costly for travelling
had no lace, but most exquisite embroidery.
There were many silk nightgowns trimmed
with exquisite Valenciennes, and some of
fine lawn had bias folds Of soft mus
lin on either side of the fronts,
intermixed with lace and ribbons
Others had insertion let In, divided
by bouillonnes and puffings of muslin. Most
of the collars turned downwards, the cuffs
upwards, and large we'll worked monograms
were placed at the left side. The fronts were
each lined with separate color. A little
Torchon lace was used, but mostly Valen-
ciennes. Combinations had been chosen to
the exclusion of other garments; some made
in a new kiI>d of ribbed elastic silk, elabor-
ately trimmed with lace, the monogram
worked in front. The rest were much varied,
made in oriental silk and fine lawn and
cambrics. Some for full dress are those of
fine and most costly lace 1t was an outfit
such as is sometimes provided for Russian
brides, rarely for English ones.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
The Charm of a Sweet Sympathetic Voice
and Refined but Simple Manner.

The Charm of a Sweet Sympathetic Voice
and Refined but Simple Manner.
While the superior attractiveness of Amer
lean women has won the worlds recognition
and with justice, yet there are, according to
Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren, who is unquestioned
authority, some points upon which invidious
comments are made.
For instance, special exception has been
taken, and not without cause, against the
strident American voice. This is very seri-
GUS matter.
A low, sweet voice, we'll regulated and
unsteady cadenced voice, is doubtless the
chiefest charm woman can have Such a
but at the same time carefully trained tone
is perfect evidence of good breeding. If our
young women would duly measure the inef-
fable grace of well chosen words, framed in
clearly enunciated and melodiously modu-
lated accents, they would make of the uses Of
language and the vocal culture very care
full study. Women who are gifted with re-
markable power Of song sway the multitude
but the women who make music as they talk
sway hearts
There exists at times a mistaken notion
that it shows a strong mind and force of
character to disregard conventional rules,
and so young girls think it is independent
and very brave to carry out various whims.
They find slang phrases amusing, cigarette
smoking refreshing, betting at races exhilar-
ating, driving and promenading alone with
men agreeable and at other times dispensing
with chaperonage admissible.
Have these impulsive young persons meas
ured the worlds verdict If not they fail to
know that no habit is acceptable that is es-
sentially unfeminine No woman, young or
old, can hope to set aside conventional rules
which are the result Of the best gleanings of
the worlds wisdom Every habit that is un-
refined shows q want of sensibility that is
very disparaging Repose of manner marks
the highest distinction and is exceedingly
restful. We cannot too earnestly disclaim
against all affectations, for first, last and al
ways, well bred people are natural That
which especially marks une grande dame is
simplicity Of bearing. Caprices and the
'sputting on of airs" mark the parvenu
who has not had the advantage of early
home training, and who as consequence e
apt to feel Ill at ease and mistake what Il
requisite But while GOODNESS and hauteur
evidence ignorance Of real good breeding, yet
that familiar manner which is its opposite Is
not to be tolerated. A true repose is in no
wise Incompatible with charming vivacity
because one can be witty and sparkling and
yet perfectly self contained.

How Geese Play.

I do not know Of anything that
plays so regular a game as geese
There is no wiser creature than a
goose. See flock in the water play
ing at dive and catch. One goose goes
a little in front of the rest and dives.
He is gone quite while, during which
time the rest are watching with every
nerve ready. Up he comes. after
swimming quite a distance under
water. Whata yell from every throat
as they go for himl It is a sight for
q Harvard crew to watch. The best
oarsmen are now in front, and he will
soon be overhauled. Down he goes;
then the flock draws together, and the
game begins over again. e. 2. z. in
