girl she is, too-a blonde, whose fair
face has not vestige OF color, and
whose clothes, though always very
handsome, are also very quiet Her
face is strikingly sweet ono and
brilliant as we'll, when animated, for
she has pretty eyes and teeth, and tho
most brilliant little dimples imaginable
She has lovely disposition and Is
such o philosopher that the small
worries OF life have never been known
to ruffle her. The brakes have q
handsome home on Prairie avenue, where
they entertain a great deal
Miss Drake Is general favorite, al
though she Is not inordinately fond OF
society and apparently is quite indii'er-
ent about cultivating the friendship Of
men. Notwithstanding this last char
acteristic however, she has remark
able knack of bringing about her when
she en- tertains the most charming soci-
ETY. men in town. She is bright, an in
terested worker in the First Presby-
terrain Church, teaches class In the in
dustrial school, assists her mother in
household cares and is thoroughly
practical In her tasks and occupations
In addition, and above all, she is per-
fectly devoted to her handsome and pop
ular brother.

a younger sister were formally present.

twcnty-one tall, brunette, and an I'M
usually fine girl in bearing and presence.
There is a certain reserve force OF char
acter in her. and those who know her
intimately say she never shirks re-
sponsibility or fails to step to the front
II necessary; but her most prominent
characteristic is e determination OF Will
that neither argument or cajolery has
the slightest effect upon. She speaks

little belle whom every one knows and
likes ISIS Bessie Ross. She is a grand
daughter of futile King, one of the
early settlers, who died few years ago
and left fortune. Her father, DR.. Ross,
has also amassed considerable wealth
in his profession in spite of unceasing
philanthropy. She is below medium
height and very plump, has sparkling
face, the coloring OF an apple-blossom
which, by the way, she makes the most
of in decollote gowns and with hand
some diamond necklaces. She dresses
elegantly, rather strikingly, and enter

no intimate friends, but goes every

and lovable, she Is shown much atten-
ton. does not bother her pretty head
with intellectual fads, is devoted to
society and has knack of being espe-
cially favored by the men who have fine
turnouts.
At the first swell party she attended
after coming out about three years ago
friend asked her in the course Of the
evening how she liked it.
"Oh, | love it! | love it!' she ex-
claimed, rapturously, clapping her
hands
And she loves it SO well stH has never
missed one since. But, butterfly though
she Is, there is serious side to her

Let your barns look like barns, your houses

have your barns be mistaken for houses or
your houses for barns for such things we

One of the latest "fads" at 5 o'clock
tea is to serve only bread and butter
with the tea or cocoa. Sometimes the
bread is prepared outside and brought
i'll ready to serve, cut very thin and
nicely buttered. But the flvorito way
is to have a bread board and trencher on
the table which holds the tea things,
and to cut and butter the bread before
the guests. Perhaps the last two verbs
in the preceding sentence should be re-
versed, for one way of serving the bread
is to butter the loaf, then cut it.

is one of the most important things how he

his grain, fodder, ETC., and yet do it in an
economical manner, and the many farm

sold at II fashionable store during the
holiday season. II can be made of two
kinds of CLOTH or, more fancy still, of
velvet and satin. Cut two pieces of dark
velvet exactly the shape of Fig. and
about seven inches long. Sew them to-
gether in firm seam across the top and
down to the crosses. Then work eyes
and mouth in the head and wings on
each half of the velvet, as in Fig III.
Stuff the figure with cotton, being sure
that the head and tail are well filled out.
Then separate the layers of cotton at the
bottom, So that part will lie against each
half of the velvet between the crosses

which it is located. 1t interferes with local
business. the trades people, the small man
ufacturing interests and the freedom of So
ciety. Then there is the sentimental rea-
son that the locking up of thousand Grim
inals within certain narrow limits puts a
character on the whole district, giving it a
name that acts as a prejudice against the
location in the same neighbOrhOOd of such
civilzng agencies as an academy or col
lege. On the other hand, there are philan-
thrOpic reasons why state prison should
be located at central point. where the in
telligence and culture of the citizens are at
their highest and best. If the ideas of res
toratiOn to society which have been success
fully carried out at the Emira refOrmatory
could be introduced, with proper safe
guards, into all our state prisons, there
ought to be no reason for the location of
these institutions in deserted or lonely
places. The humane and remedial treat
ment OF cOnvicts is the method most likely
to obtain in the near future, and it is in
this light that the dislike of having a state
prison in your neighbOrhOod is vastly modi-
fed by considerations of another sort. -Bos-
