SOME COOL THINGS.

Those absurd little women Of japan beat
their Yankee cousins in eating frozen dainties
in the proportion of 10 to /. The national
ice consists of sweet beans served with hail
stones. and on a hot afternoon Japanese
belle can devour a gross with relish. Another
frozen dessert that comes nearer being ice
cream than any other delicacy is perfumed
snow. Sometimes the flavor is orange, citron,
almond or berry. but the flower scents are as
popular as vanilla and chocolate in this
country.
To pint of cream and quart OF milk al
low two tablespoonfuls of corn starch, a
tablespoonful OF geatine, cupful and half
OF sugar. three eggs, two cupfuls of finely
chopped figs and a tablespoonful of vanilla.
Place the milk in a double boiler, reserving
half a cUpiul in which to mix the corn starch.
The whole makes fix ice cream, and it's de-
liciOus.
Frosted peaches make a pretty dish and are
easily prepared. Take twelve nlce-looking
peaches and with a coarse cloth rub off the
fuzz, then roll them in powdered sugar and
SET them carefully in a sheet OF white paper
on Il waiter and put in the sun. When they
are half dry roll again in the sugar and ex-
pose them again to the sun until the sugar is
quite hard. and then put in the refrigerator
until ready 10 serve.

him good quantity of gold.
But it was not enough-he must have it all.
II was such an easy thing 10 do. Only a

away from his crime. No. he never got away
from it, The sound was always with him.
Ughl There it was again, and Leonard
pulled the blankets over his head.
Morning came. But the whirring sound
came with it. At night it was nearer than in
the daytime, but il never ceased.

thought as they slowly walked home after the
last sad words had been said. They passed

so many years, and shuddered when they saw

ghastly knife wound in his back.
month passed. and poor old Juan was al
most forgotten. His house was still unten-
anted. The padre had taken charge of it,
and regularly fed the many animal pets that
Juan had taken such interest In. They
seemed to mourn the loss of their master more
than the people to whom he had been so good.
The murderer was still unknown.

Tapping and whirring were close to him, and
Leonard could see a pair OF dark wings
spread as if to enfold him. He struck out
with his hand and struggled wildly, but the
wings came closer and closer. He felt claws
scratching his face and heard wings beating
the air. Surely the devil had him.

Juan's pet black eagle that had been missing

Novelties in Needlework

The novel appliques for linen are becoming
extremely popular. giving a wonderfully
good effect at the expense Of remarkably
little time and trouble. The latest idea is to
use them upon either silk or satin, and to
cover them closely with stitches Of colored
tilosele
Tussah silk. in its natural brownish hue, is
just now being turned TO account for bed
spreads. 1t is embroidered with silk OF the
same color, and looks particularly well when
bordered with frill of soft silk, blue, vieuE-
rose or green.
Among the latest novelties for ornamen;ing
sachets of silk or satin are flowers butterflies,
and other devices made in lace. These are
aDpliqued lightly to the satin, but are not en-
tirely covered with embroidery stitches.
They look pretty also upon photograph
frames covered with velvet or plush.
Cut-work continues popular for edging
doilies and toilet sets. 1t Is closely filed in
with stitches of colored silks and is often
outlined with washing gold thread.

FOUR Up To DATE IDEAS OF DRESS.

In brown and black cocks plumes are par
ticulariy stylish on all tints OF straw and
later on felt. The latest shapes form a per-
feet circle as each part of the feather curves
around.
Plain white handkerchiefs are in the best
taste. the more chaste the better to suit re-
fined women. There is nothing prettier for
common use or second best than fine linen
with narrow hemstitched border, decorated in
delicate hand embroidery.
Waists with jacket effects are shown with
full vests OF plated spangled net. Some of
these extended from the neck. while Others
are hung on a square yoke of lace. Circular
ruffles OF net and chiffon, elaborately spangled
in a design. used on the skirts, with a tiny
box plated niche of net TO pink the top on a
tiny band OF bangles serves this purpose.
These nets are sold by the yard. and may be
had in any of the fashionable colors.
Jet belts are very dressy for wear with silk
blouses.

Far away from Ortiz. in beautiful village
of the Sierra Madre. a young man had been
trying for weeks to forget something, trying
to convince himself that he had not COM
mitted great crime.
Again he was in the street before his faith
er's house. Oh, if the old man were only
alive, he could surely prevent the terrible
sound.
Somebody was coming, but Leonard hid in
shadow until they passed. Anyhow, they
don't know did it" he thought.

This time it was closer than it had been be-

limb The dark form in the air drew nearer
and nearer, and the fapping whirring sound

dark, wicked form with cloven foot and
spiked tail. He covered his face with his
hands and screamed in agony. The dark

said Leonard to himself, as he went for his
BREAKFAST 81 am sure it is nothing, and has
nothing to do with me-"
II was a beautiful day and the sun had
nearly reached the zenith. Leonard threw
himself down on the ground in the shade of a
tree to get a little sleep that he had been de-
prived of in the night, but had scarcely
closed his eye
''Whir-fap, f1ap-whir."
"Ugh."

Leonard felt cold breeze fan his cheek as
he jumped to his feet, but there was nothing
near him. He was alone.
"'Whir, whir''
LET me out of this; don't want the gold. -
and Leonard flung the bag of yellow coin out
of the window.
Over the hills and mountains he sped, he
knew not where. But the sound was with
him.

everybody liked, had been found dead at his
