and stood aside for him to enter. She did
not speak and without looking at him
she retired TO the fireplace. The stu

dressed in his best suit of clothes, was
cleanly shaved and carried a pocket

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

English Toast: A pretty way Of
serving eggs for tea is to cut bread
into square pieces and toast. Take
eggs out of the shell. keeping the
yolks whole. Beat the whites to stiff
troth; lay the beaten white around
nicely on the toast, drop yolks in CEN
ter of white ring, salt and put in hot
oven to bake Ga few minutes When
taken out of the oven pour little
melted butter over the toast.-Prairie
Farmer.
Date Meringue: Is delicate des-
sert, and may be quickly made in a
case of unexpected company, if one has
at hand the sine qua non. Beat the
whites of five eggs to a stiff froth, add
three tablespoonfuls of sugar and one
half pound of dates, stoned and cut up
fine. Bake fifteen minutes in mod.
crate oven. Serve, as soon as cool,
with thick, sweet cream, or custard
made with the yolks. Good House
keeping.
Some one asserted that the best
cup of tea she ever drank was made at
Carlsbad, and that the superior flavor
used in making it. Whereupon some
one else produced as good tea by add

some one else produced as good tea by
adding a pinch of baking soda to the
water ordinarily used, in order to
soften it. the experiment is one easi-

has just reached the boiling point, and
an infusion of from three to five min
utes, produces a result that leaves lit
tie more to be desired.
Carpets and Oilcloth: Beat car

carpet should never be swept down
with long broom, but always with a

scrubbed with brush, but after be-

washing with large soft cloth and

slices the outer part, leaing the yellow

DAINTY SUMNER PILLOWS.
On Which Hot and Tired Heads Will Lik.
to Rest.


The first real hint of summer fur
nishing is to be seen in sweet, most
fascinating pillows, all snowy, dainty
white. The materials are varied, some
being made from Anatolian curtains,
some from less expensive cotton stuffs,
but in all the frill shows to rare ad-
vantage and make a really ideal finish.
So far the display is confined to orien-
tai cloths, and includes only such and
similar materials to those mentioned
above, but there is no reason why the
same idea might not be carried out in
a hundred ways.
These new pillows and cushions are
made slip fashion, with buttons and
button-holes at one end, and can be
removed and laundered with perfect
ease. The striped Anatolian curtains
show, some of them, no color, some a
hair-line of yellow, but all are
finished with netted fringe. This
fringed edge becomes the friil of the
pillow, and is a perfect finish. Their
cost is by no means excessive when one
considers the wearing as we'll as the
aesthetic value, although it may be
computed at six dollars or therea bouts,
but the crepe is far cheaper and really
almost as effective, when made amply
and with a fine frill.
Ordinary cotton crepon at fifteen
cents a yard can be and has been treat
ed in like manner and developed into
slips as charming as need be. In fact,
both the upholsterers' stock and the
materials sold for milady's gowns offer
a host of opportunities. All that is
needed is wary, watchful eye and in

Half an hour later the door closed
upon the retreating form of her huS-
band, and Mary was left alone. She
looked about her vaguely, then bowed
her head on the table and wept Not
for what her husband had said-forty
years of it had accustomed her to that.
But her tears were wrung from her be-
cause she felt so lonely.
A carriage with a hired driver from
the town drew up in front of the gate
leading to the Raymond farmhouse. A
lady got out, and walking under an
um brella held for her by the driver,
picked her way up the grassy pathway.
The raindrops beat heavily upon the
pinks and moss roses which bordered
the path. So intent was she in saving
her dress and shoes from contact with
the wet shrubs, that she did not notice
the wisp of Grape which hung dripping
from the door handle. But the driver
did and respectfully called her atten-
ton to it. She started-then drew back
for a moment, then knocked lightly.

| and said that what other charities suffer-
| ed. this must not.
