From New York take the Fal River

night train at the Grand-Central Station
You then reach Boston the next morning
in time for the 9 O'Clock train which -
due in Portland at 1l5 i. NJ; within
six hours from that time you find your
self i'm the very heart of the Maine woods.
and If you are an early riser YOU can
catch "A trout the next morning for break

Besides wearing apparel and fishing
tackle. the only other impediment needed
Is a chahng dish. In fact, the wise woman

ments to select camp. very charming
and attractive abode. just Ike the ac-

Within is found everything for comfort
and some things for luXury-spring-b beds
and hair mattresses. for instance. There
are two. or, perhaps three, rooms and
one big fireplace, which Is not only the
central ornament and decoration OF the
camp, but Is one of its most useful be

logs every night gather the little colony
Of campers for ii is seldom that fire Is
unwelcome at night. even in July.
In exchange for camp and fire and
meals. n charge is made of so week

For boat and a guide, if one is needed,
the charge is only nominal.
But where does the chaiing-dish come

MOULDING ICES.


Animals Of every sort and description
can be- found in moulds from a polar-bear
to a ccoing dove. but they are usually in
large figures. The prices seem exorbitant
for home housekeeping.
Individual moulds can be had for 81
per dozen, one quart Of cream filling ten
pieces.
This season some charming novelties
can be bought.
At a wcddng-party Cupid formed for
the cream an admirable scheme The little
god looked as roguish as possible. At his
back were fastened golden paper wings.
In his hands was the dangerous bow and
arrow.
In all designs Of cream where paper
does duty. every device can be treated
with success as the paper adheres i'm
mediately 10 the frozen surface. To the
amateur cream-maker this will be an in
teresting study.
The bleeding heart IS another faVorite.
The heart is colorcd with Carmine and an
arrow run through IT. This Ibcautiful
affair can be used for an engagement
luncheon.
This season at a smart dinner ices in
the shape Of roses were piled high in a
gilt basket. and one served TO each guest.
For a supper. the candle is an unique
addition well worth mentioning. The
candlestlcks were made OF different
colored creams, the candle Itself being
white. At the top was placed a small
taper which was lit as each guest Was
served.
At a luncheon given to debutante
flowers were the artistic scheme. At each
cover was a different flower. The roses
were frozen in yellow and red. pale PINK

PITFALLS FOR THE HOMELESS.
A SIMMER INCIDENT.

7 remember one summer living In a
house whose back windows overlooked
those Of a handsome brownstone resi-
dence. All through the spring time II
was a delight TO catch a glimpse Of the
pretty widowed mother, whose devotion
TO a tall stripping Of a son and three
charming young daughters excited my
warmest admiration.
One day 1 noticed the complete trans
formation which had taken place. The
house looked dead and dull the servants
listless. and sense OF desolation brooded
over everything. Mother and sisters had
gone to Canada for the summer.

noise opposite. From my room could

I watched my neighbor drag himself into
the dning-roOm window. toss or one
mixture after another. trying evidently
to steady himself for work.
This was but beginning. BY the time

Some Suggestions for Preparing Pure
Vegetable Tints.
(Wrlttcn for the Dispatch.)

(Writtcn for the Dispatch)
In the making OF sherbets and Grams
both artistic taste and prudence are re-
Quired in the matter OF colorings. Here
are some excellent suggestions for pre-.
pairing pure vegetable tints that can be
compounded at home. and are, therefore,
devoid OF all injurious substances.
For amber, four ounces deodorized alco-
hol. one ounce turmerc. Shake till dis.
solved strain. and bottle. 1t gives q
bright gold color.
Blue can be made by rubbing a piece
OF indigo on plate with little water
until the required shade is obtained. Car
mine has always a charming effect. Use
one point OF water. one half ounce OF
carmine. three fourths OF an ounce OF
aqua ammonia, +. r. r., two tablespoon
fuls OF rose-water. Put the carmine and
ammonia with a g,l OF water into a
bottle, shake TIL dissolved add the rest
OF the water. and let stand a day or two
10 settle. Pour on the clear liquid, add
the rose-watcr. and keep tightly corked.
For pistachee creams take spinach. the
green color or juice can be prepared as
follows:
Wash the leaves. drain them on sieve.
and pound them in a mortar TO a pulp.
Wiring 1t through strong muslin cloth
as hard as possible. pound the pulp again.
with very little water. wiring It once
more and cook the juice in a farina boiler
until 1t thickcns like jelly. Drain it on
a fine hair sieve and cut the pulp through
with a spoon upon sheet OF paper. and
dry it TO "A thick paste. Add an equal
bulk Of pulvcrized sugar, work smooth,
and bottle for use
