TRYING THE suRFEIT CURE.


4 1 -----
One Fathers Exper1ence with It rs Rem
edy for the Ice Cream Habit.
4 when was youngster," said Mr.
Bozzle, II used to wonder how the con
a fectioners could make any money. II
always seemed to me that the clerk.
would eat SO much candy that they
would eat up all the profits.
n "Iremember reading or hearing later
4 that this was not so; that when a new
clerk came into the store the proprietor
would say:
Now, I hope you will eat all the
| candies you want; don't hesitate to
help yourself at any time, and that the
\ result was thata the end Of the week
she was SO sick and tired Of candy that
she hated the sight of it, and didn't
want any more for a year.
This, suppose, might be called the
surfeit cure.
"After had grown up and come to
have family / remembered this, and
thought ! might turn the idea to adj
vantage. / had four children, and the
amount Of money they spent for ice
cream and candy and soda water was
something awful.
II thought that by spending in o
lump enough money to make them
tired of these things I might in the
long run make a considerable saving.
So set aside thousand dollars for
that purpose, and one day 7 said to my
Oldest child:
\ 'ssTillie, / don't think You and the
children are beginning to have the ice
cream and candy that you ought to
have. am afraid you think because
papa isn't very rich that you must
skimp yourselves about those things,
but you needn't; you can have all the
money You want for them. Here's fifty
dollars. Now, wish you'd take the
children out and get some ice cream
and candy, and whenever that money
is gone just let me know, and I'll give
you more
"Well, they used up that thousand
collars in about ten weeks, and at the
end of that time they were as hungry
for ice cream and candy as ever.
II kept up the supply of money. ]

hope that his luck will turn,
81 thought they might reach the sur.
feiting point at any minute, and it
seemed too bad to make dead loss OF
the money already invested, when per.
haps the expenditure of few dollars
more would accomplish the desired re-
suit; SO have kept on.
"But the children's appetite for ice
cream and candy seems actually to in
crease. They tell me am SO good;
and that, Of course is something; like
to see them happy, but meanwhile my
hard earned money is melting away
and I am inclined to think that the
surfeit cure is a delusion, if not a
snare. IN. Y. Sun.

To serve Cold Meats.

Cold meat is not attractive unless
daintily served; and yet it always ex.
lists in every economically managed
larder, and certainly in summer II
seems as il it ought to be appetizing.
A certain house mistress, who has nice
little ways of her own in managing
her cuisine, suggests the following
method of serving any cold bits of beef,
mutton or poultry: Cut your meat into
thin slices; line a mold with slices of
cooked carrots and beets, over which
pour little strong stock or gelatine,
moving itround until It is jellied and so
forms an outside shell. Then put the
meat into the mold in layers with
more stock. and cold peas, caulifower.
or any scraps of cold vegetables left
over, until it is full. Set it in the Ice
box until il is wanted, when plunge
the mold into boiling water for a
minute and turn out the gelatine on
dish. Garnish with parsley and serve
The jellied meat should be cut cross
wise in rather thick slices. N. Y.

Five years later, one morning in Mas.
Nine. Manoel Alvarez nee Bardonnel
| stepped from train at the Rouen Sta
ton and directed her way toward the
rue des Cigarettes.
She did not wish to go through
France when she was travelling with
her husband without seeing again her
native city.
Nine. Dufresnes kept Henrietta to
dinner and brought out for her the very
best.
"Oh, deary, always told you that
you were born lucky. Don't you re-
member it?''
''And the Lecarpentiers and my lit
tie Leonce? What has become OF
them?''
'What has become of them? Oh, my
dear Henrietta, the good God has
given them their punishment
"The linen business ran out 1t is
two years ago since the firm of Lccar-
pentier & Son failed and gave up bust
ness.
-Four months after you went away
Leonce married Mile. Felicite Henne-
quin, whose father kept large shop"
II know. And didn't the marriage
turn out well?'
You can't really say that it did.
NJ and Nine. Leonce left Rouen when
the failure came. They are probably
living wretchedly somewhere, in Paris
perhaps. As for papa Lecarpentier.
his troubles have affected him so that
he is in his second childhood. He is
begging. When you go. you have only
to turn up the street till you get in
front of the theater, and there you'll
see him.
Arrived at the end of the street,
Henriette saw seated on a little stool
an old babbler who handled feebly a
wheezy old accordion.
Don't you remember me, Papa Lee
carpentier?'
The poor wretch interrupted the
fearful strains of his instrument and
fixed on the young woman a stony,
fixed stare.
"Tou played me a villainous trick
in your day, with your story of the
property in America But tha.'s al |

NEW HATS AND BoNNETs.

Shapes ana materials OF the Latest In
Ladies' Head Covering.
Felt and satin cut in narrow strips.

mer straws have been plated are
among the autumn hats and bonnets.
The dull felt, frightened by lustrous
satin of the same shade, produces an
excellent effect in tobacco brown,
black, ruby and other wintry colors
Plain smooth felt and glossy beaver re-
main in favor for hats for general
wear, while for more elaborate dress,
are those of mirror velvet and satin.
As usual, jet bonnets are offered for
the demi-season, and promise to be less
eccentric than those worn at present.
They are mostly small crowns, formed
of jet spangles entirely, or of jet and
steel spangles together, and are greatly
enlarged by trimmings, satin ribbons,
birds, long pins of jet and full
aigrettes.
There is no great change in the shape
of round hats. The newest crowns are.
large and slope gradually to a high
round top. of course these require.
rather wide brims, which are arched in
front, and are turned up at the back in
two curves close against the crown
There are also many hats of medium
size somewhat in sailor shape. with
low square crown, but with the stiff
brim projecting in front, and some
times doubled at the edge. This is.
considered chic when made of black
glossy beaver, with dull felt facing
inside the brim, the double edge bound
with silk braid-Harper's Bazaar.

Henriette, when she returned to the
hotel, followed the coAsul's advice by
exploring her memory. to find some
one who had personal interest in
expatriating her and in getting rid of
her.
And she found some one without
great difficulty. It was Leonce's
father, the old scamp Of q papa
Lecarpentier. Not a doubt OF it..
On her account Leonce had let slip
several good matches, a Mile. Coutois,
of Lisieux, among others. Now they

And boiling with indignation and
rage Henriette went back to the con.
sulate, and though without funds
asked to be sent back home.
They promised a favorable reply to
her request, but she must wait a
fortnight. No boat would leave for
France before the end of that time.
One evening as she was walking on

telling him of her notifications, that
