HOUSEHOLD.
Her First Cake.


She measured out the butter with very
The milk and sugar also; and she took the
greatest care
To count the eggs correctly and to add little
bit
OF baking powder, which, you know beginners
omit.
But she never quite fOrgave herself for leaving

Miss Parloa, who is admitted authority
on cookery, does not esteem knowledge of
the art as of little value but says:
sit is of the first Importance that every
woman who is to have the direction and
care of a household, whether large or small,
should know how best TO use money for
what is wholesome and palataDle, and IN
darstaud the principles upon which food
can be most economically cooked. No
woman should be considered as less accom-
plished or refined because she has given
considerable attention to household duties,
and can, if need be, prepare dinner better
fhan the average hired cook. Mistresses
ought to be in every respect the superiors
Of their servants instead of being at their
mercy, as they too often unfortunately sre.
The mission of schools such as Miss Par
'os inaugurated is a most commendable
one, and is certainly not pursued in vain.
Only few years ago learned women were
Justly supposed ignorant of matters per-
tanning to the cuisine, and would have been
surprised if they had been told that science
had its place there as well as in the labcra-
Dry. Now the veriest tyro knows that a
uowledge of chemical action is essential
and that no cooking is even edible where
this knowledge is ignored.
Cooking schools have made cooking
fashionable, and however men may laugh
1t what they please to style late ''fad,"
lud profess to be victimized by the ex-
perimeuts of amateur cooks, the fact re-
mains that young women are learning to
cook and to do it well, because of better
knowledge of what is conducive to health.

SOCIAL STRINGS.

Fort Worth the past week has been
conspicuous for social events but the ladies
have been somewhat of a minor quantity in
the fullness Of enjoyment
The cattlemen really stormed the town,
and fer once woman in her sttractiveness
was overlooked for that sturdy manhood
which has made Texas what she is to-day,
q state worthy the loyalty Of her sons and
daughters.
On Thursday night Miss Rosa Maddox,
assisted by Miss Matte McComh, gave a
reception A large number OF the young
people were present, who enjoyed the
dancing until a late hour.
Then, too, came George Clark to Divide
honors and to receive women's smiles and
hospitality, for one of the notable events
was dinner given complimentary to him,
Dr. and Mrs. W. 4. Adams being the hosts.
The guests were gentlemen, but the table
was graced by the presence of Mrs. Eaton
and Mrs Adams. As is quite the custom
in this home OF hospitality, the young
ladies, Miss Tommie Adams and Miss Mag
gle Wilson, were cup-bearers, and Jove
himself might have coveted the honor SO
gracefully bestowed
The Hirschield building was place of
social gathering for week or more and
the ladies Of the Broadway Church certainly
deserve thanks as well as ample remunera-
ton for providing 50 pleasant a place to
spend an hour or 50 IS the Art Lam ex-

wife. If she has been an observer in her
home, she has seen that much of the health
and happiness of the family has been de-
pendent on the daily fare, and that tie In
telligent oversight OF mother has been an
important agent
It follows, then, that such young
woman, when "Jack'' begins to come pretty
often, and she finds herself watching for
his coming, when after while jack
speaks, she will feel necessity for
fitting herself for position that involves
so much TO herself and to one she loves.
Her first step will be 10 acquaint herself
with the details of marketing, for however
well she may paint sirloin roast, a tender
loin steak or leg o. mutton, Jack viii, in
the years to follow, admire the well-chosen
well cooked piece upon his table more than
the pictures on the wall although he may
point to them with pride and say to visit
ors, 'sYes, my wife painted those" and
never say a word in praise of the dinner.
Practice in the kitchen makes perfect in
the dining room and girls, take the word
of one who knows, knowledge of the
practical will save many tear and turn
away the little cloud that might grow to a
storm.
When you enter the home that you and
JacK are planning, if you are equipped for
your business you enter it as mistress.
You are not at the mercy of the Ignorant
the Hing and the Insolent. You are
indeed in every particular mistress of the
situation. and servants are quick to recog-
nize it.
And, too, if you two lovers must begin
life in small way, this need have no terrors.
He can work with will because he knows
that what he brings home will be used to
the very best advantage, and the wee wife
will be ambitious to make the best use Of
what is committed to her
In the changes that come, in the environ
ments that are most common, nothing can
stand in the stead of a thorough knowl-
edge of whatever pertains to the sphere of
home. There it is that woman finds her
true place, and for it she should be quail
fed. Neither is it necessary that she be
not taught in other things, but let no woman
call herself educated who is not learned in
the science of making home life pleasant

rud curios on exhibition, excellent music,
well selected recitations, as well as good
refreshments and ample opportunities for
firtations, were provided.
Parents and all interested in the educa-
ton of the young should not fall to attend
as often as possible the literary entertain
ments given on Friday afternoons by the
pupils Of the high school. The one on last
Friday, under the conduct Of Mrs Walden,
was OF especial interest. 1t IS very encour-
aging to teachers and pupils to have the
patrons of schools manifest an interest, and
aside from that, it is somewhat in the sense
of a duty to spare a little time from raj
ment and food providing to see how the in
tellectual nature of the children IS being
cared for.
The ladies' social at the residence Of DR..
Nall, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, on Thursday afternoon was well
attended.
Mrs. James Swayne had a quiet little
dinner party on Thursday for a few friends.

tinesS that distinguishes this young hostess.

placed my boy in the barber's chair,
To be shorn OF his ringlets gay;
And soon the wealth Of his golden hair
On the floor in circle lay
Twas trifing thing OF daily life,
And to many unworthy a thought
Too small theme mid the toll and strife
OF this worlds changing lot.
But the ringing cut Of the cruel shears
To my heart-strings caused pang,
For they changed the child Of my hopes and
fears
with the scornful tune they sang.
Ny thoughts were bent on the little cap
And the curls that round it twined
Like golden clasps with which TO trap
The sunbeam and the wind.
No more I shall see those flying curls,
As my homeward steps wend
Another stage OF his life unfurls,
Where youth and childhood blend.
So when from the chair he stepped at ength,
He stood with his artless smile,
Like Samson, shcrn OF his locks OF strength
BY Delilah's treacherouS vile.
Thus one by one Will vanish away
The charms Of his childish life
And each bring nearer his manhood's day.
With its scenes OF toll and strife.
God grant that my lease Of life may last
Through his changing years Of youth;
Till the danger rapids OF life are passed.
And Samson stands in truth

are appreciated.
A woman in authority may be sparing Of
the rod, she may be sparing of blame or of
harsh criticism, but to be sparing of out
spoken commentator when those under
her merit it is to encourage grudging and
inefficient service in every instance.
Walter Besant answers his own ques-
tion, sWhat is woman's greatest, charm, y
in way that seems to indicate not what in
reality it is, but what is woman's greatest
charm to menu In one word ne says
''witchery"
In support of this he runs through the
list from Delilah to Nell Gwynne, wisely
avoiding women of later date.
Exactly what this quality is he does not
define, but whatever it may be it is that
which fires the masculine heart and drives
men TO deeds of valor as well as folly,
makes them conquer kingdoms and don the
motley.
1t is power dangerous to possess, be-
slowed by nature and must be controlled
by principle, or its exercise is fatal to the
victim and ultimately fatal to the possessor
Helen of Troy missed happiness and bathed
her country in blood. Aspasia STEPPED her
soul in sin while the learned Greeks
crowded her ante-chamber. Cleopatra won
a Caesar, lost an empire, and at last to an
aching breast could only press ife-de-
stroying serpent. Mary of Scotland laid
her pretty uncrowned head upon the block
for grim man of the AK who was obliv-
ious of her ''witchery" It is well for the
world that all women do not possess this
power, and better for the world and the
witching woman would 1t be if those pos
sessing it were guided and governed by
true womanly principles.
Men may scott at the idea of woman as
a quantity in politics, but it frequently
happens that her finger is on the button
and when the rest is done she is admitted
to have been the agent. In the recent spir-
tied contest for the speakership if gossip is
to be believed it is not that Mr. Mills was
too impetuous to preside in deliberative
body, nor that the views he held on eco
legislation that he owed his defeat.
Mrs. Tarsney, wife of the representative
from Kansas City, it is said became much
offended at Mrs. Mills and vowed that Mr..
Mills should not attain the object of his
ambition. She brought her quarrel to her
husband and through his influence carried
him and several of his Missouri colleagues
over to Crisp.
Whether this is true or not, it shows
that usually when men fail, in looking
around for the cause of failure outside
themselves, they are as prone as ever to
say the woman did it. The lesson for
women with political ambitions would seem
to be that without suffrage they can ac-
complish much, and perhaps more, than if
they had the right to cast their ballot.
Also, the question naturally arises, are
men as ready to attribute success and vic
tory to women as they are their defeat and
humiliation
