HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

Rice ~Croquettes: If you have cold
boiled rice left from dinner, heat it
over, adding a little milk unless the
rice was very moist, and to every cup
full of rice allow n egg, well beaten.
two tablespoonful of sugar. and a
piece OF butter as large as a hickory
nut. Cool only a moment after the
egg is in. When cold, form into GRO
quettes, roll in egg and crumbs, and
fry.
Tomato Sauce: Put one pint of
stewed tomatoes over the fire with one
onion, bay leaf, a sprig of parsley and
a blade of mace, let simmer slowly for
ten minutes. Melt three ia lespoonfuls
of beef fat or %cottolene, mix smoothly
with one tablespoonful of flour. Press
the tomotoes through a sieve, add to
the paste. stir continually until it comes
to a boil. season with salt and pepper,
and serve with chops, flets or broiled
steak.
Sweet Potato Buns: Three large
sweet potatoes, one and a half pints
flour, pinch of salt, one and one-half
spoonfuls of baking powder, one pint
cream. Boil potatoes tender, rub them
very fine with cream. Sift together
flour. salt and POWDER; add to potato
preparation. Mix into rather firm,
smooth dough, form into round pieces
size OF a small egg. Lay on creased
tin and bake in a hot oven twenty
minutes.
Baked Pie-Plant: AS a variation
from the ordinary stewed sauce made
from this vegetable. try the following:
Wash and slice the stems as for stew
ing and put into an earthen or granite
baking dish with alternate sprinklings
OF sugar and a little water, only
enough to keep it from burning before
the juice starts. Bake it in the over
until very tender, and it will be found
a much richer sauce than hat made by
stewing.
Cheese Omelet: Break twelve eggs
in a bowl and beat lightly for a mo-
ment only. Add a cup of milk and two
ounces of American or Parmesan cheese
grated. Season with salt or pepper.
Put in a frying-pan two ounces of but
ter; when melted pour on the eggs, and
when they thicken sufficiently fold in
two, and serve Immediately. The secret
of a good omelet depends mainly on two
things-the right heat and that the
eggs should be cooked so well on the
outside as to bear turning while they
are soft on the inside. The omelet
must be eaten Immediately.

The Old Hen Went, Too.

The excus which are given by chill
dren in order to escape from some dis
tasteful duty are often exceedingly in
g~enious and even witty. Johnny was
afraid of the dark. His mother was
trying to induce him to go to bed with
out her accompanying him. Johnny
was averse to this. The boy was the
owner of a little bantam hen and thir-
teen chickens, so his mother used these
as a sort of argument to convince him
Of his folly Of being afraid of the dark.
"Why Johnny, just think of your
chickens, how bravely they go off to
bed every night without a thought of
the dark, and you. a great big boy, are
afraid to go upstairs alone"
Johnny was silent for a moment and
then said:
but, mamma, don't you see the rea-
son that the chickens are willing to go
to bed in the dark is because the old
hen goes with 'em; and so l think you
ought to go with me."-Boston Jour
nal.

A NEW SCHEME FOR FAIRS.
You Hire a Pretty Girl to Talk with al
So Much an Hour.

So Much An Hour.
Among the new devices for making
money at church fairs and other char
liable entertainments is one which it's
originators term The Living Library"
A certain number of books are chosen
beforehand, and each one is represent
ed. by some young woman who is
dressed appropriately, to indicate either
the title of the book or some leading
character therein. Each impersonator
must also be thoroughly acquainted
with the volume she represents, and
her actions and behavior must be in ac-
cord with the character chosen.
A catalogue is prepared and furnished
on application, and whenever a book is
called for a curtain is drawn aside and
the living copy stands revealed. The
regulations usually governing 1.-THE
Living Library" are that: l.. All books
must be secured from the librarian.
,. The fee for each book shall be ten
cents for ten minutes use, payable in
advance. 3. Books cannot be called for
twice in succession. 4. Persons having
called for and obtained the books must
relinquish them upon notice from the
librarian that the time paid for has
reached its limit, or, failing to do so,
shall pay at the rate of two cents a
minute for overtime; and, finally, that
no book can be retained for a longer
period than twenty minutes
The rules do not provide for it, but it
is understood, of course, that during the
busy hours of a fair no book shall be
taken off on a promenade through the
entertainment room, and the books
themselves are forbidden by the UNI
written laws to drink lemonade and eat
ice cream between the hours of eight
and ten at night.
Altogether, this living library seems
destined to prove a great success

Easy Jackets for Afternoon Tea.

T~ea-jackets are this season in a class
by themselves. A tired woman will
often keep on the dusty, heavy dress in
which she has taken a long walk rather
than change it for one of the elaborate
affairs fashionable for teagowns. She
might put on a ~teajacket, through, if
she had it at hand-one for instance Of
pale gray silk, in the Louis XIII. fash
ion with the skirt sewed on at the waist
line. Pale pink silk and white lace
should trim the jacket. 1t should be
perfect in fit, and comfortable besides,
and the sleeves in particular should be
loose all over. For the afternoon tea
drinker who does not fancy wearing
light-colored jackets over her dark
skirts. one made of dark silk to match
her chief dependence in walking cos
tunes will be of service. The heavy
point de gene, either white or cream
colored, is pretty and fashionable for
trimming black or d~ark-colored jackets
and blouses.-Chicago Times

seemed to go so smoothly. No fret, no

overwork. for every evening after din
ner the private secretary, smiling, re-
spectful, handsome, was entirely at
liberty to invade the slums with the
old gentleman Or escort the ladies to a
party or the theater. Mrs. Wylie
shared her husbands admiration. Their
only regret vas that he had never con-
fided in them the details of his life
prior to- the moment when he first en-
tered their doors. Ruth alone kept
him at a distance. Her GOODNESS he en-
dured with a proud humility and a
difference that never wavered and never
sank below the homage of a gentleman
to a lady.
81 thought your talk at the mission
tonight a very powerful one, George.
Indeed, to my mind. it was your best
effort" remarked Mr.. Wylie as the
group gathered for their usual chat one
evening before retiring. But why did
you bid them all farewell so earnestly?
l take it that many thought you weren't
to be with them again."
Perhaps I shall not, Mr. Wylie, was
the quiet reply. SIT all depends on you.
l want to have a very serious talk in
the morning, and then you must decide
whether l remain"
Depends on me! Why, George, what
do you mean?"
Il ought to have said it depends on
all of you. l can say no more till to-
morrow. Good night"
Mr.. Wylie went to his room very much
perplexed.
II can't understand this, Mary" he
complained to his wife. II thought
George was satisfied, and l don't know
how I'm to get along without him."
Has it ever occurred to you, john"
she suggested, that he may have fallen
in love with Ruth?"
God bless my soul; that jail Hold
on, what am l saying? Let me think"
He pondered a moment and then re-
sumed.
MARY, l have a great regard for
George. l have been hot-headed in the
past, l know. l frightened poor Ruth
nearly ill by storming about her school

into a marriage with Frank Lowndes.

George wants her. and outside that one
crime can show that he has been honest
and comes of a respectable family, he
can have her, can't he?"
"If Ruth consents, John"
"Of course, Of course, if Ruth con
sents. Then George vas mistaken. 1t
doesn't depend on three of us; it de-
ponds on Ruth"
Very little was said by anyone at
breakfast. After the meal was over
they retired to the library. George be.

In Cozy Style.

An agreeable and popular form of en-
tertainment is a compromise between
the old-fashioned afternoon company
and the modish high tea. Informal
invitations are given to a select few for
what is known as a thimble tea. The
guests, all feminine, assemble about 4
o'clock, each with her bit Of fancy
work, upon which she is expected to
stitch diligently. She must also be
prepared to chat. No other form of
pastime is prepared besides converse
ton. The rather slight refreshments
are handed about, and the party dis

and Mortified two people. One was Mrs.
Wylie, the other the man who uttered
it.
"Why, John"
MARY, l."
"Yes, / know, John. I heard you;
you swore."
The G died out of Mr.. Wylie's
face and his features assumed their
usual lines of placid b~enevolence tenn
porarily dashed by an expression of
panied surprise. He trotted up and
down the length of the breakfast room,
brushed back his scanty gray hair,
wiped his spectacles, looked at his
watch and finally settled his rotund
figure in an easy chair opposite the nj
occupied by his wife.

How to Make q Convenient Writing Conn
panion.
A pretty and convenient writing tab
let may be made at home as follows:
Take a board of the required size, cover
one side with cambria and the other
with felting in any desired color; tan,
gray or dull blue are good shades.
Geto some thin, narrow strips of
filagree brass work which are easily
bent, and some brass gimp tacks with
small round heads. Then make pockets
of the felting of various sizes for postal
cards, note and letter paper and
envelopes. and tack them on in con-
venient positions, bordered by the brass
grimp.
In the center of the board have a
square of blotting paper held in place
by corners of the felting tackled on
with a border of the brass fllagree. A
silver-topped ink-bottle with the glass
stand covered with felting should be
fastened in place, also a penwiper with
pinked edges. and a calendar tackled
Oh with a strip OF brass at the top.
The brass strips bent in and out in
short curves and fastened to the board
also serve to hold pe~nholders, pencil
erasers. pen-knives and other access
series of a writing desk. Such a board
placed upon a low table, whose tor
matches in size, painted white, picked
out with the color of the felting makes
a useful, artistic and inexpensive piece
of furniture. If de sired thin sheet of
leather in dull red or brown may be
used to cover the board.-N. Y. World.
