The Tailor. Made Girl

To-day the "taiior-made girl" stands
as the selection, the survival of the best
ideas in dress of the last half Of the
nineteenth century. Her dress Is neat,
solid, compact, useful, convenient and
adaptable. 1t stands for service and the
ahsence of superfuity, for readiness in
an emergency and propriety every
where. 1t is the universal high school
and college dress, the best travelling
dress, the city walking dress, and 1t
stamps the wearer as an intelligent and
cultivated woman, says the Women's
Cycle. It is expensive because good
workmanship and good materials are
put into it; but it never breaks out and
never wears out; it has to be given away
or ept pp to get rid of 1t. 1t has done
more for the health OF American women
than all the medicine In existence. It
has reconstructed them and built up an
upright, vigorous, well-built, healthy
young womanhood out of the shreds and
patches, which were about all that was
left OF the woman that bad been,

MEALS FOR SUNDAY.

Hints for Women Who Do Not Care to
Spend the Sabbath in the Kitchen.
Here is hint in regard to Sunday
meals 1t may help some women to get
more time to rest on Sunday and at the
same time have tasty dinner.
On Saturday morning buy piece Of
neck beef. With sharp knife cut out
the lean part, leaving fat, gristle and
bone. Put lean pieces in a wooden
bowl and chop very fine, season with
butter size of hens egg and pepper,
salt and sage. Press into thin cakes and
set away in cool place. Put fat girls
tie and bones into a kettle, cover with
cold water, set on the stove and cook
slowly till the bones will slip out. Re-
move the bones, season with salt and
pepper and set away.
Sunday morning, lay the beef cakes in
very hot spider without any fat and
cook over hot fire. Make coffee and
cut generous quantity of bread, and
breakfast is ready. After breakfast,
peel potatoes and any other vegetables
that are relished and leave in water till
twelve O. clock.
Put the meat and broth and vegeta-
bles in kettle, and stir up a dumping
made OF quart of flour, small half
teacup of lard, two teaspoons of baking
powder and water enough to make soft
dough. Lay the dumplings over the
meat and cook torty-fve minutes. This
with tea and coffee, bread, butter, pick
les and pie will make a dinner good
enough for any one, and need not take
more than one hour to cook and serve,
thus leaving the housewife more time
for Sabbath rest and thought. Don't
try to get supper on Sunday. If neces-
sary, have lunch of bread and milk or
crackers or crackers or cake just at dark
Save strength and health by being
careful not to overwork at any time -

THE VALUE OF WIVES.
A Virginia Court Rule, That They Hay
Worth According fo Thair Traifa

Virginia Court RuleS That They Have
Worth According to Their Traits.
A recent opinion rendered by the
Virginia Court of Appeals shows that
the law recognizes graded valuation
of wives. The complainant had sued
for damages for the loss of his wife,
who had been accidentally killed
through the negligence Of the defend
ant. On the trial, evidence tending to
show that the deceased had been a
superior wife was offered, and, presum-
ably influenced by this, the jury gave
the complainant verdict for 5000.
The defendant objected to proof as to
the character of the wife, and carried
the issue to the highest court of the
State. That tribuna! holds that such
evidence was perfectly proper as
means Of estimating the damage suf-
fered by the husband. .If the oharac-
ter and conduct of the wife, SAYS the
court "he such that her death win
cause but little sorrow. suffering and
Tental anguish to the husband, then
the fair and just proportion of the
damages to be awarded by the jury will
be measured accordingly" .sBut If. on
the contrary" the court adds, !.the WIZ
be loving, tender and dutii,,, To her
husbands thrifty; t.udustrious. econon,-
and prudent-as the evidence in
this case proved Mrs. Mcconnell to be-
then her price is far above rubies,' and
the loss of such wife, OF such help
meet, of such influence, of such q
blessed and potent ministry and COM
panionship, is a proper element of dam
ages to be considered by the jury in
fixing the solatium to be awarded to the
husband for tearing her from his heart
and home"

HER FIRST CALLER.


How the Grim Reaper Was Welcomed By
Down-East spinster.
Some years ago Amelia Simpson, .
maiden lady of mature years, moved
into New England village to take pos
session of small property-that had
been left her by deceased uncle.
Miss Simpson was city spinster and
it happened that while moving into her
new home she made some decisive re-
marks about the village, which remarks
reached the ears of the villagers
It was before the days of boycotting.
but the spirit of that method existed,
and so unanimous were the feelings ex-
cited against the newcomer that not
soul in the village called upon her.
The lady herself was unconscious that
she had offended, and made several ad-
vances in the direction of forming an
acquaintance with her neighbors, but
was met with cool lnon-recognition every
time.
Then she withdrew herself from any
communication with the people, bought
all supplies from neighboring town,
and lived alone with a female servant
for a score of years. At the end of that
time she was taken very i'll. A doctor
was summoned from a distance by her
faithful attendant and he soon knew
that all remedies were useless, and it
only remained for him to tell poor Miss
Simpson that her earthly pilgrimage
was nearly over. This he did in his own
way. He was a doctor of the old school
and he approached the subject cour-
teously.
Madam" he said in grave deliber-
ate voice, 81 have done all that possi-
bly, can do in your case to insure return
of health, but without avail 1t only
remains for me to inform you that death

Poor Miss Simpson raised herself on
her pillow with smile of satisfaction.

ing eyes, Il have lived in this unhcs-
pitable place for twenty years, and he ts

The Powerful Eject tho Words Had Upon
. Street Urchin.
Several winters ago, says the Congre-
gationaliSt, woman was coming out Of
some public building when the heavy
door swung back and made egTess some
what difficult. A little street urchin
sprang to the rescue, and as he held
open the door she said: Thank you"
and passed on.
''Cracky! dye hear that?" said the
boy to companion standing near by.
"No; what?"
"Why, that lady in sealskin said
Thank ye' to the likes O. me-"
Amused al the conversation, which
she could not help overhearing, the
LADY turned round and said to the boy:
"1t always pays to be polite, my boy;
remember that"
Years passed away, and last Decem-
Der, when doing her Christmas shop
ping, this lady received an exceptional
courtesy from clerk in Boston, which
caused her to remark to q friend who
was with her:
"What great comfort to be civilly
treated once in awh ile-though I don't
know that blame the store clerks for
being rude during the holiday trade"
The young mans quick ear caught
the words, and he said:
Pardon me, madam, but you gave me
my first lesson in politeness few years
ago."
The lady looked at him in amazement,
while he related the little forgotten in
ctdent, and told her that the simple
thank you" awakened his first ambi-
ton to be something in the world. He
went the next morning and applied for
situation as office boy in the estab-
lish ment where he was now honored
clerk.
Only two words dropped into the treas
ury OF street conversation, but they
yielded returns of certain kind more
satisfactory than investments, stocks

Importance. The number which a man
in private life may have is limited by
his ability to purchase and support
them, but the number of wives which
the King may have is limited by law
limited to the modest number of 8, 1913,
and 1t is said that he usually does not
far exceed this limit.
At any rate, he must have more wives
than any of his subjects, or his respects-
bility will suffer. / was told by the
American consular agent at Elmira that
the present King actually had 1888
wives, and that he had 900 children. All
the King has to do to get wife is to
chose any female he pleases, no matter
how young she may be. Girls are often
chosen when less than ten years old,
and in such cases they are left with
their mothers until of mature age, at
which time they are taken to join the
rest of the 8, 333.

dentally see one his punishment Is
