A Model Kitchen.

1t is possible nowadays, says an authority,
by spending money layishly, SO to build a
kitchen that the most ingenious Of servants
cannot keep it otherwise than clean. One
need not waste upon her unappreciative soul
the costly tiles with which one lines the bath
room, but may substitute for them the glazed
bricks that are as highly polished, and that
will make the floor, the chimney, the walls,
If desired, and even the ceiling, as easy to
clean as breakfast plate. Once built, no
whltewaSher and no painter would be needed
for such room, no smoke need cling to its
walls for an instant, and no odor of cooking
would be perceptible in it, even if it were
used for generations.
And the temperature of such a room need
not reach the great height unavoidable with
plastered walls, which permit the warmth of
the chimney to be perceptible through their
surface, and thus both the good health and
the good temper Of the cook would be main
tanned. As for coloring, such kitchen may
be precisely what one pleases, for the bricks
are made in all hues, and they may be laid in
patterns or in wide surfaces of one tint from
floor to ceiling. Lastly, as such a room
would be freproof, a sliding or swinging
iron door would so isolate it that no kerosene
quickened fro and no careless upsetGing of
lard could bring destruction to the room
itself of which little water would not clear
it.-Scientifc American.

He Ate the Pudding.

She was young housekeeper. She could
play the piano and sing. She was full of the
most agreeable accomplishments, but she
did not know much ABOUT cooking. One time,
when her husband had given her new wrap
or something, she was so full of gratitude
and sentimental affection that her giddy
heart smote her, and as she sat waiting for him
to come 10 dinner, to tell him how much
envy had been inspired in her female friends
that afternoon by her new. garment, she
made up her mind that she ought to do some
thing for the noble fellow. The resolution
held for twenty-four hours, and she de-
termined she would try and cook something
nice for him. She had done some plain cook
ing with fair success S, but she had never tried
anything complicated, and she started in on
a pudding. She confided her intention to
lady friend. and the next time they met a
brief conversation told the story.
''Well, did you cook the puddingg
"Ye-e-s; cooked the pudding"
"And how did he like it!''
"Well. not very well"
"Did he eat itF'
"Oh, yes; he ate it,"

inexpensive Viands.

Many housekeepers, says writer on eco
nomical living, get into a ''rut" and buy the
same steaks, chops and roast each week, hay
ing no repertoire Of cheaper dishes A beefs
heart or a praised calls liver make an excel
lent and economical change. Broiled
sleeps kidneys with bacon make a
fine breakfast, and only cost about
ten cents. Beef olives small pieces of
round steak spread with stuffing and stewed)
are appetizing and do not cost one half as
much as tenderloin steak, and so we might
continue naming delightful dishes made from
the SO called inferior pieces Of meat A
great deal also depends upon the manner in
which the marketing is put away and cared
for after it comes home. All vegetables keep
fresh longer if put in cool, damp place.
Fruit keeps best in cool, dark, dry place.
Bread must be kept without wrapping in q
close box. Fish, to be kept over night,
should be cleaned, sprinkled with salt and
put on a platter, skin side down; then stood
in cold place, away from all meats OF deli

American Wives in England.

One of the direct results of the presence of
SO many American wives in English society
is to make it ivelier This may seem bold
fact, only quoting what l have heard the
English themselves say, and say often. As
the word is ambiguous will use it, with one
exception, in the good sense only. The ex-
ception need only be indicated. In the high
est section of society there is fast set, and
there have been Americans who, on their
annexation, or even before it, have preferred
to join this fast set. The capacities, natural
and acquired, of the American woman are
such that if she chooses to be fast she can
hardly help being faster than her fast Eng
lish friends.
If she prefers doubtful forms of amusement,
she will be more amusing than anybody else.
If practical jokes are the fashion, hers will
be the most practical and ingenious of ALL
If bear fighting be the rage in the highest
quarters, she will ''bear fightn-for the Gus

ural she should excel at her national game,

Two stories of beautiful women appear at
the same time. One is from Chicago and
she took to the fashionable plan Of secret
cigarette smoking, and now is beautiful

who took sponge bath every morning, and

wish to preserve your youth and beauty,
take long walks and regular baths; but let

Making Amends.

An apology should be sincere, and rendered
with some degree of discretion. That sim
certify alone is not enough is we'll shown by
this anecdote, in which we may say that the
apology was worse than the offense:
A little girl who had foolish habit Of
plain speaking was taken to the sewing circle
with her mother. On entering the room.
after exchanging greetings with several ma
irons Of her acquaintance, Miss Truthful
walked up to another lady, and in the conf
dent tone Of one who gives utterance to q
self evident fact, she said, loudly enough for
every one present to hear;
why, Mrs. Handley. how homely you
arer'
While the victim was hiding Ter confusion
as best she might, and the rest were trying
h9rd 10 conceal their amusement, the young
lady herself was hastily taken from tie room
Once in the hall she was dealt with some
what severely, and made to feel the enormity
OF her unintertional rudeness. Then she was
taken back to apologize
Walking straight up to Mrs Handley,
while all the ladies held their breath to lis
ten, she said, with trembling tones and with
the tears still upon her cheeks:
Mrs Handley, Tn sorry you're so

That Ashe should unequivocally award

Shorter Street Skirts.

More needed that the crusade against cor

cago Herald, is one in favor of shorter street
skirts. The ways Of the world are peculiar,
and we regard with complaisance, to say the
least, the upper part Of the human figure
wholly nude, the arms uncovered to the very
shoulder blades, or the whole figure from top
to toe, outlined by the present style of cling
ing draperies, or again displayed to an un-
common advantage with modern bathing
dress, and yet modesty forbids decent wo-
man to make her dress skirt short enough to
show the whole of her foot. $40 say why

What Parafan FAX VIII Do.

Melt half a pound Of soap to about one
ounce of refined parafin wax for every six
gallons Of water used. Boil the clothes in
this for twenty minutes or half an hour, then

is said to be required, while the clothes are
rendered beautifully sweet and clean and en-
tirely free from smell, which is an objection
by many to the use of parafin ol.-New

A Sand Bag for a Sick Room.

Many persons are acquainted with the vir-
tues of the hot water bag, but sand bag is
still better.
Get some clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly
in kettle on the stove; make a bag about
eight inches square of flannel, fill it with the
dry sand, sew the opening carefully to-
gether and cover the bag with cotton OF linen
cloth. This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out, and also enable you to heat the bag
quickly by placing it in the oven or On top Of
the stove. After once using this you will
never again attempt to warm the feet or
hands of a sick person with bottle or
brick. The sand holds the heat for long
time, and the bag can be tucked up to the
back without hurting the invalid.-Hall's
