Announcing Encagements.

When a couple are engaged there is sci
dom any sensible reason why all the world
should not know it, and therefore the
fashion of announcing engagements just
before a prominent ball, and having the
ladies' and gentlemen congratulated by
their friends is to be commended. To be
sure, if the engagement is afterward
broken, the thought of these public con-
gratulations would be embarrassing; but
If the fashion tends to prevent promises
of marriages being lightly given, it will
serve good purposes. The girl who might
say yes when asked to marry, with the
mental reservation that if anything better
comes along she will contrive not to keep
her word, will think twice about it if she
has to go through with such a form.
Marriage engagements are frequently
too lightly entered into, and too lightly
set aside. The engagement should be
nearly as sacred a contract as the marriage
itself, and it should be such an engage
ment that both parties would be proud to
ave it known among all their common
acquaintance. In general, when the en-
gagement is, as all engagements should
be, serious, there is everything to gain and
nothing to lose by having the facts
known.-Demorest's.

The Way to Serve Fried OYSTERS,

Only the best and largest oysters should
be chosen for frying. Dip them, one by
one, in flour, then in beaten egg, season
with salt and the merest dash of cayenne,
dip again in powdered butter cracker and
fry them in boiling hot fat, deep enough
to float a d%oughnut. Turn them in frying
and cook them in all for four minutes.
Drain them thoroughly, lay them for a
momen on coarse brown paper to absorb
any fat that may cling to them, and serve
them at once in a folded napkin on a hot
dish accompanied by quarters of lemon
and waferlikc slices of brown bread dainti-
ly buttered. Exchange.

Bedspreads and Portieres.

A pretty material for bedspreads and
portieres is bargarren art cloth. 1t comes
IN white, cream and colors, and in four
different styles of mesh. In colors it is
1lfty-two inches, and in cream and white
it is seventy-two inches. 1t is heavy and
durable. Where it is required for Ira
per!es no cloth can be better than this, as
it adjusts itself in soft, graceful lines, and
it would be almost impossible for the most
awkward hand to give the folds a "stiff"
appearance. For table mats it is "a treas
ure." Make the mats about ~ inches
larger than the body of the mat is desired,
and ravel ont this extra width when the
working of the ma is finished for fringe.
A pretty way to add color to the fringe
is to darn from the edge of the cloth before
the mat is .raveled; darn in about three
inches at the widest place and 24
inches ut the narrowest; regulate the
width of darning so that the inside
line shall be a series of points or squares;
this is easily done, as the meshes regulate
the stitches in the same way canva does.
When the edge is raveled the colored
threads will be pretty with the white. If
more color is desired, any pattern may be
harmed, or cross stitched the same as 1t can
be on canvas.
This clothsis we'll suited for bedspreads.

The EGG Timer

An excellent little regulator acting after
the fashion of metronome has been invent
ed for the benefit of the woman who ''never
can boil eggs just right" 1t is u most USE
full and accurate continuance, and can be
set to boil eggs from two to five minutes
or any intermediate time. It is made on
exactly the same principle as the metro
nome, though it stands lower, the different
notches on the pendulum indicating the
minutes. The apparatus being wound up
when the eggs are put into the saucepan of
boiling water, the pendulum is set in mo-
tion, and a bell rings when the egg has
been boiled to the desired degree, either
lightly soft,' eighty hard" or ''quite
hard" 1t is called the "egg timer, with
bell."-Chicago Tribune.

WOman's Intuition.

There is no doubt that a large percentage
of womankind are averse to telling their
ages. The reason why they are is not so
evident. But it is not in the matter Of
telling ages alone that woman's ways, like
those Of Providence, are inscrutable. Many
other things which they do, or refuse to
do, are commonly supposed to be the result
OF a lack of reason rather than its effect.
1t is pretty universally considered that
M is not a great success as a reasoner,
and most of her happiest inspirations are
usually ascribed to that uncertain some
thing commonly known as "intuition."
Is it not quite likely, then, that the fact
that many women prefer to keep the num-
Der of their years to themselves may not be
based on any reason, but be simply the re-
suit of intuitive feeling9 If this be so,
then it is futile to seek for what does not
exist, and we must simply say, "There is
no reason | hin this is worth consid-
ering. Women's in%tuitions, moreover, are
so often right that one cannot help admir-
ing this excellent, if mysterious, power,
and their intuitions-for it cannot be my
thing else-are equally correct in the case
under discussion.
The desire to ascertain another PERSONS
age, except III certain special instances, is
the outcome of nothing better than idle
curiosity, and it is better that idle curios-
ity should always be repressed. So that it
must be concluded, l think, that woman
feels intuitiyely that nothing is to be
gained by revealing her age, and therefore
usually keeps it dark. 1t is true that her
intuitions in this direction sometimes
carry her too far, but that is only another
case of "a little too much of a good thing"

John Bray's Land Deal.

A Washington special says: John P.
Bray, state auditor of North Dakota, has
been in the city for some time and will
be here for a few days longer, when he
will go to New York to complete a land
deal which he has in connection with
John Dwight of New York, proprie-
tor of the Dwight farm in North Dako-
ia.
Messre. Bray and Dwight met in
Washington with several eastern men
who are preparing to make large pur-
chases of Red River valley land, and
will either conduct a farm upon the prin-
ciples Of the Dwight, Casey and Carr
ington farms or will lease small farms to
reliable men for cultivation. To. day
Mr.. Bray was joined by Thomas Edison,
who has ar interest in the scheme, and
who brought down some papers neces-
sary to the completion of the contract.
Mr.. Bray says he has no doubt the deal
will go through and prove a good thing
for the various sections in North Dakota
where wild land will be opened up and
developed.

CARDINAL

pose of the deceased pontitl: on the tenth
the cardinals attend at a solemn mass, and
that evening the conclave is locked in and
the balloting begins. The process and
solemnities have often been described.
Giovanni Simeoni, the late cardinal and
project, was born at Poliana, Italy, July
%, 1916, was ordained priest at an early
age, advanced rapidly in rank and was
made cardinal March Is, 1915. He was espe-
cially we'll known in all Protestant coun-
tries because the delicate negotiations Of
ten necessary between the Vatican and
those countries were so often intrusted to
him.

Duty of u Mother,

New when the %capability of women to
compete with men in occupations formerly
closed to them is being discussed on every
side, 1t is becoming obvious TO many that
the element of character necessary to
homemaking is not being stimulated or
encouraged to its proper development in
the minds of many young girls. 1t is diff
cult to understand the reticence existing
between mothers and daughters in some
families. The foundation of this state of
affairs probably dates back to childhood,
for she who does not listen and sympa-
Iblze with a little child's troubles is pre-
pairing for this future lack of confidence
which has wrecked many homes.
NC one would expect a young woman to
make a success of any pursuit or profession
unless she had received a thorough train
ing in that line. True, the natural capa-
bility and intelligence of womanhood will
do much to help the young and inexperi-
enced; but nothing ever takes the place of
a mothers wise counsel and instruction.
Maternal Indifference is said to be one of
the greatest evils of the day. 1t is not I'm
common to find married women with occu-
pations and interests that occupy their
time almost entirely apart from their own
fireside.
Thai a woman nowhere appears to better
advantage than in home surroundings is
conceded by most men; but the average
woman of today is not as dependent as of
yore upon the masculine mind for her
views and opinions on many subjects, and
sometimes mistakenly refuses to recog-
nize the fact that while the public can do
very we'll without her, her place at home
can not SO we'll be filled by any one else.
A proper ambition and desire for adj
vancement should be the aim of all women,
married or single; but it is only a misdi-
rected ambition that makes a woman fail
to realize the Importance of her place at
home rs compared with the good she will
be likely to accomplish elsewhere. New

Convent hair" is an article we'll known
to the trade and highly priced. When a
young woman takes the veil in the Roman

tresses are sold for the benefit of the con-
vent. AS the hair is cut pretty close to the
head the tresses are usually long, and thus
convent hair" has a special value.-Chi-

merly papal secretary Of state and project
general of the propaganda. The latter was
even better known in the United States
thar in Europe, as the project has direct
control over missionaries, and the United
States is ranked in Rome as a missionary

oni exercised SO much power in the now

AS the college of cardinals is filled BY
successive appointments at the hands of
successive popes, and as the appointees are
generally we'll advanced in life (for they
must first have attained to the highest local
dignities) it results that most of the car
dinals at any given time are the appointees
of the last pope or his immediate successor.
Thus in the conclave of 1878 there were
but nine cardinals of creation prior to the

Billet, was ninety and the youngest, Lucien
B%onaparte, forty-tive. There were nine
teen more than seventy years old and only
four under fifty. The limit in number is
six cardinal bishops, fifty cardinal priests
and fourteen cardinal deacons, or a total of
seventy, but the conclave is very rarely
