tokens batch of pillows for the pet
divan OF an invalid friend. Some OF
them might suggest to you an idea for
your matchmaking.
OF course denim is given first show
ing in this graceful pillow array A
trio Of fascinating sleep wooers have
slips in golden brown, dark blue and
flaming scarlet. Each denim back
ground is webbed over with curious
design outlined with white linen floss.
The struggling tendrils, half moons,
pilot wheels and graceful, intersect-
ing geometric figures are not the work
of professional "stamper," but were
originated by the clever embroideress
herself, who, with piece Of common
white chalk, boldly traced her own
patterns upon the denim covers.
Besides the denim pillows, there is
dainty conceit in white linen, pow
dered with Pompadour fowerets, pinky
rosebuds, old blue blossoms and but
tercup-hued blooms. A full ruffle OF
Mechlin lace completes this delicate
cover, which may be Numbered as
often and as satisfactorily as plain
linen, if embroidered in washable silks.
This pillow collection includes q
couple of Oriental looking fancies
made out Of an old Persian shawl
whose wearing days were over. The
circular shape Of these head-rests af-
fords On excellent display for the
dusky-colored fabric, which, carrying
out decorative within, is simply drawn
In ut the corners, and boasts of not the
slightest trimming about edges or top.
A hop pillow is going to soothe the
future mistress of these slumber aids
in many IN hour Of pain. Its fresh
muslin cover, slipped over the hop-bag
at will, may be sent to the wash as
often Us 1t soils, each time returning
with pristine daintiness.
A sage green Saline cushion, crossed
by bands Of old gold ribbon, and an
other one in tones of gray and Grim
son, are each to take their place among
the tumble of charming sleep wooers.

when a customer asked for pound OF

AN APPErizlNG MEAL.
Render Your Dishes Tempting by Giving
Them Pretty GnrnishiDgs.

Them Pretty GnrnishiDgs.
Much of the attractiveness of meal
depends upon the establishment OF
the dishes, and when we consider how
economically this can be done, there Is
really no excuse for the lack OF tempt
ing details, unless the busy mother and
houselseeper finds her day full Of other
duties.
Ten minutes supervision of the
dishes before they are sent to the table
is all that is required to add bit Of
greenery, slice Of lemon, golden
hearted ring of egg, and see how ap-
petizing the simplest meal will become.
''But in winter" says some one,
''green garnishes are so scarce. There
is apt to DO n sameness in this line.
What is one to do?"
Think moment. Have You ever
livened up some prosaic dish with q
leaf or two of crisp, crinlSled-edged
lettuce-thc kind furnished us during
the cool months? This is fancy
charming enough to please the most
artistic-minded person at the table.
Celery tops, shredded cabbage, curly
bits of crests and parsley springs, each
in turn, may take their place upon the
meat or vegetable dish, and common
place viands will gain festive air.
A young housewife, wishing to have
ON hand a nice supply of green gar
nishes, fastened to the sill of kitchen
window having southern exposure
two boxes, in one of which was a
luxuriant bed of parsley, while in the
other flourished curled cress.
AS for vegetables, try turning them
into garnishes. Fill in the center OF
your meat dish with brown mound Of
potatoes fried in ribbons, surround this
with chops of meat-balls, and scatter
here and there tender sprig of pars-
ley. Another appetizing mode is to
enfold each chop in small lettuce
leaf
Soups, that would otherwise be but
slightly relished, become favorites
when few squares Of crisp brown
toast-called by the French "croutons"
are added.
Knowing your own pantry possibili-
ties and the contents of your market
basket better than any outsider, think
up some furnishings yourself with
which to embellish your table dainties,
and you will find that no matter how
simple are your efforts, they will be
rewarded.-Golden Days.

as much display as convenience will
allow.

A South Amer lean Tree Which Produces
Lots OF Sup.
The sugar maple Of New England has

1t grows in the Andes Of Chilli ut
height OF from 5000 to $500 feet above
the sea. 1t Is curious variety OF that
most useful, wonderful tree, the palm,
whose varieties also give us dates, and
coco, and cocoanuts, and fans.
This palm is not slim and graceful

lures. 1t is about fifty feet tall, with
q very thick trunk, charging In diam
cter from the ground up to about half
its height, and then tapering again to
the top, where its long leaves spread
out.
These sugar palms produce great
quantities Of sweet sap, which, when
boiled down, makes both molasses and
sugar of u peculiar but delicious flavor.
On one estate the trees grew in such
numbers that once 1t was determined

several hundred thousand, and more
than half remaining uncounted, the
task was given up.
What "larks" 1t must be for children
when "sapping" time and 'sugaring
off" come roundl But the Chillans do
not collect the sap in the way the New
England farmers collect sap from the
maple tree. No; instead Of boring
small holes in the trunk tho palm is
cut down md beheaded of Its crown Of
beautiful leaves, and then the sap be-
gins to flow from the upper end and
keeps on flowing for months Every
morning thin slice is cut of to pre-
vent the wood from hardening and
forming q crust through which the sap
could not flow.

fact that the sap will not run II the

CONCERNING visiting Cards.

Ladies' cards are governed by the
following rules: A married woman iii
society, especially with daughters,
should always use the prefix Mrs"
Widows and maiden ladies often prefer
to use the simple name without prefix;
fashion dictates otherwise. A young
lady in society, having passed her first
season, should, If the eldest daughter,
use simply, for instance, Miss Both
we'll" II younger daughter, she
should use her Christian name in full.
In her first season debutante should
engrave her name below that of her
brother, her individual card not APP
pearing till the second season. On Wis.,
iting with her mother the name of O
daughter may be engraved below that
of her mother; if separate, her card
should always be left with her mothers
card. The same applies to u plurality OF
daughters, the names being grouped.
