AN APPEIlzlNa MEAL.
Render Your Dishes Tempting by Giying
 Them Pretty Garnishings.

| Render Your DisheA Tempting Dy GiyinG Them Pretty Garnishings.
 Much of the attractiyeness of a meal | depends upon the establishment of the dishes, and when we consider how l economically this can be done, there is really no excuse for the lack of tempt ing details, unless the busy mother and housekeeper 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 zee how ap- petizing the simplest meal will become.
 But in winter" says some one, green garnishes are so scarce. There is apt to be sameness in this line. What is one to do?"
 Think a moment. Have you ever livened up some prosaic dish with a leaf or two of crisp, crinkled-edged lettuce-the 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 nice supply of green gar nishes, fastened to the sill of kitchen window having a southern exposure two boxes, in one of which was a luxuriant bed of parsley, while in the other lourished curied 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 a 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 ''croutous" 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 simp- are your efforts, they will be rewarded.-Golden Days.

WOMAN AND HOME.
PRETTY SLEEP WooERS.

Useful Novelty Pillows for Couch or Di-
 vans-when Filled with Clover, Sweet
 Lavender or Bits of Thyme They Are
 Moro Attractive Than If Stuffed with
 Feathers or Hair.
 Present-day luxury, so it would seem, begins and ends with the sofa pillow. No matter who is to be the recipient. if you select the popular head rest of the moment for an offer ing, you cannot go amiss. Here is a chance to utilize the field and meadow treasures collected by you during last seasons country summering.
 A pillow with odorous filling of clover, sweet lavender, bits of thyme, life everlasting or the fragrant and in- vigorating fir is many times more at tractive than that stuffed with down, feathers or hair. Even the elaborately perfumed fancy, with cotton batting lining, loses it's charm when brought beside a group of meadow scented morsels.
 An especially industrious holiday worker has added to her list of love

A Partitioned Party.

It is strange but manifest and in- lisputable fact that the democracy, despite it's hundred years of existence, s not a national party in the strict sense of that designation, and never has been. One section of it is continual y making war on the other section or s being warred against by them. There is far less divergence Tn sentl- nent and purpose between the New York and New England democrats and ;he republican party of the whole coun- try on the general finance and income tax questions than there is between the democrats named and those of Illinois, Missouri, South Carolina and Kentucky. On the great issues of the day the de- nocracy Is as radically and as hooeless- y divided as it was on the tariff two shirds of a century ago and since, on the United States bank question half a century ago and over and on slavery n that and later day. The democra- cy's conflict on the slavery question produced an armed rupture in the rountry third of century ago along !ines of latitude, and the threats and wranglings of its statesmen in the present crisis seem almost to mean tha' they desire to force a separation now along lines of part latitude and part longitude Louis Globe Den- ocraA

Curtain Your Bedstead.

Some of the very newest bedsteads show the genuine old-time four posts and are so exceedingly handsome as to tempt one to return to the style and the methods of century back. Cur tains that entirely shut in the sleeper are open to many objections on the score of health. But carefully arranged draperies that are drawn back at each post might easily be managed so as to give air slightly to the bed, to shield the head and feet from draft and vet allow of sufficient circulation of air.
