The Economical Black Dress.

Every woman ought to have at least
one black dress, for there is no dress
that strikes such an original note as the
black dress rightly managed. A touch
of color of just the right sort gives it an
individuality that the gayest gown can
never show. A woman who could not
afford new gown this year, and still
knew she must have one, cut out the
back of the black gown she had, set in a
soft and silky material, edged it around
with a narrow bit of fur, put a frill of
lace below that, then filed in the neck
with cream white Grape, shirred to vel
vet folded collar of pale apple green. A
soft twist of the velvet about the waist,
tied in little stiff bows on either side the
front, made the old gown much more
attractive than many of the new ones.

Decline of Corn Bread.

1t is with extreme regret that | view
Che passing of the old fashioned Ken
lucky corn bread. For the last few
years its decadence has been steady and
sure. The march of progress has about
'scrOuged it aside, and the improved,
new tangled methods of modern milling
have had the effect to almost Danish it
from our bills of fare. 1t is true we
yet have corn bread but it is not of the
good, old fashioned kind. On the con-
trary, it is very little like it. Bread
made from the meal now on the mar
ket is damp and clammy as the hand of
a corpse. and when cold is hard enough
to play baseball with. The old time
favor is gone, and it in no wise com
paIes with the old burr made meal.

Women as Farmers,

California boasts of a number of WON
en- farmers who manage largo estates,
make money and keep healthy and hap
py. The comforts of farm life here are
greater than they are in the east, and
there is a possibility of gaining more
than a mere living. Some of the wom-
en- farmers have won more than mere
local fame. Mrs. Theodosia Shepherd
of Ventura is known in the east as a
cultivator of California flower seeds and
bulbs. Mrs. Strong is known far and
wide as the woman who makes a good
income by raising and selling pampas
grass. Mrs. E. p. Buckingham of Va
caville is an orchardist whose fruit
commands the highest price in eastern
markets.
Another successful agriculturist is
Mrs. Georgia Mcbride. A dozen years
ago she was an invalid, widow, poor,
with four boys to bring up. She knew
nothing of fruit raising, but with fem
mime recklessness she purchased SO acres
of land near San Jose and set it out as
an orchard. Now she is prosperous,
healthy and wealthy, as the wage earn
ers go, and an enthusiastic advocate of
farming for women.-San Francisco
Correspondent.

Worthy of Notice.

To renew rubber goods, take equal
parts of dammer varnish and asphaltum,
towhich little turpentine is added, and
paint those places where the rubber is
worn or cracked.
A drop of honey and sweet oil upon a
bit of cotton is the best remedy known
for painful earache.
To rejuvenate stale bread, dip the loaf
in cold water, put in the oven and heat
through thoroughly. Take out, wrap it
up and let it sweat; then eat.
Very pretty useful frames for branch
ing house plants can be made of wire
umbrella frames. A file, some small
pinchers and fine wire or stout thread,
with patience and little ingenuity, will
do the work.
Experienced housekeepers realize that
the dishcloth should receive as much at

made of soft, pliable crash about half a
yard square, hemmed, marked, number

same as fer towels.

Presently, rolling over, I saw the gum

with George Cowles' help. to get my

with a deep breath.

I'VE may thank your mate here, y
one of the men spoke up, for saving
our life with yours, at the pint of his
revolver.
But Cowles, modest and self depre
eating, as brave men always are, pre-
tended that he did it all to save his own
life. He saw how it all would be, he
said, and he merely resolved to keep me
there for scareCrOw.

Hiram NIaxim's Youth.

When Hiram Maxim, the famous in
ventor, lived in Sangerville, anxious
mammas used to warn their hopefuls
not to play with THAT wicked Maxim
boy" In fact, young Maxim grew up
under the doubtful reputation of being
the very worst boy i'll the ncighborhood.
This isn't said fer the purpose of en-
couraging any other Maine incorrigibles
who are in the depths of their misdeeds.
If Hiram had been perfectly good lit
tie boy and had devoted his time to
studying his lessons, he might have had
that flying machine all completed by
this time.
Hiram used to work at carriage
painting in Abbot and was hired by
D. D. Flynt. He was an artist with the
brush. One day a man called to see
Flynt while the latter was out. "There
has been a man in to see you," said
Young Maxim. whats his name?'

For 26 years the venerable Frederick

ing in Washington he was reelected for
the twenth-seventh term. The period of
Mr. Fraley's service as president is CO.

will continue in the Office as long as he
is able to attend the conventions.
He was born in Philadelphia in May,
1904, and was a lad years old when the
now venerable Gladstone first saw the
light of day; but, as in the case of the
English statesman, the hand of Father
Time has rested lightly on Mr.. Fraley's
brow, and he retains the vigor of middle
age. He was one of the founders of the
Franklin institute in his native city in
1924 and was its treasurer for many
years. In 1884 he was elected to the cit,

at a down town restaurant the other day
when a young man came in and took seat

The young mans order had arrived by

The young man went on with his meal,
and the old one once more resumed the

Then he stopped, and resting his knife and
fork on the tablecloth with their points up

each fist, he asked:

minutes ago; quite as dull"
