that all the gowns were so beautifully
selected that none were second best, -

as many handsome gowns as in previ-

Keen the Children I,nsv.

Teach children to do little things
about the house. 1t trains them to be
useful, not awkward, in later and more
important affairs; it gives them occu
patton while they are small, and it
really is an assistance to the mother in
the end, although she always feels dur
ing the training period that it is much
easier to do the thing herself than to
show another how. This last excuse
has done mach to make selfish idle,
unhandy members of an older society,
and should be remembered, in its eff
fects, by the mother while her little
ones are beginning to learn all things,
good and bad, at her knee. Occupa-
tion makes happiness, and occupation
cannot be acquired too young.

WEDDING CAKE BOXES.
The Latest Styles and Materials far These
Popular Souvenirs.

Popular Souvenirs.
The origin of the custom of taking
home a gift of wedding cake to dream
on" is apparently without record, and
yet the present fad of distributing
pieces of the bride cake in dainty boxes
Us the outgrowth of the old-time super
stition.
However, it is seldom the" cake
which is sent out in boxes. but that of
an inferior quality. which possibly
serves the purpose just as well in
bringing pleasing dreams and slum
bers light to those who place 1t be-
meath their pillows.
1t is SUI prising to one uniformed to
know how varied are the styles, shapes
and sizes of these souvenir wedding
cake boxes. One leading manufacturer
makes wedding cake boxes in fifteen
styles and half dozen or more sizes
which are sold from S4 to $40 hun.
dred
The most popular style and those of
which the greater number are sold are
those at $3.50 hundred, which are
plainly and simply made of MORE pa

The boxes are all hand made, with the
greatest care, by women and girls, and
If the slightest mar from paste or i'm.
perfection from rough edges is percept-
ible, after finishing, the box is cast
out.
The more elaborate styles are made
upon special orders, and sometimes are
marvels of expensive beauty, perhaps
by hand painting, by the stamping of
monogram in silver, and so on. For
one wedding of recent date, the souve.
mir boxes were of white satin, hand
painted, and cost $3.50.
A novelty, really more dainty and at.
tractive than the satin, is the Bued-
ingen box, which is covered with fine
crepe paper in white. The box opens
like casket. is either square or oblong
and all round the cover is tiny frill

edging of lace paper adds tasteful
finish to the inside.

no ribbon to enhance its attractions, is

rated in silver. The box is square. and
in one corner is a design in bowknots

have monogram stamped in one cor.

the intertwined initials of the sur.
names of both bride and groom. The
triangular box is novel, but less
popular than the others, as It is rather
difficult, as well as wasteful, to cut the
cake to fit in it.

Dalrying is the grandest help-out

much poor butter manufactured for
that. Let those who wish to profit by

As the afterwear of gloves depends
much on the way they are treated from
the very beginning. new gloves should
be put on most carefully. Those who

gloves when you are in a hurry and Just

when your hands are cool nj you have
ten minutes or so to devote to them.
Before beginning operations dust lit
tie powder into each glove. for this will
cause them to Slip on more easily.
Work the fingers well on before putting
in the thumb; then work that in slow

there are. with The exception of the
first Leave this first button until the
last. If the hands al hot remove the
gloves and then turn them inside out,
pulling them careful y into shape and
leaving them in the air for an hour or
two before putting them away
In the preparation of new gloves for
wear a glove-stretchcr will be found of
the greatest assistance. This, however
must be used with discretion, for a
glove that is too large is quite as an
noying as one that is too small 1t il
well in buying gloves to provide your
self with a spool of mending silk or
linen exactly the color of the gloves.
To clean gloves is not always easy.
The gloves should not be allowed
to become almost black with soil before
beginning the cleaning process. All
light gloves-especially white ones
can be cleaned in benzine or naphtha.
Wet one glove at a time, of course.
Dip it into basin containing about
cupful Of the benzine, and shake it
and squeeze until some of the dirt is
washed out. Then lay the glove on
clean towel or piece of muslin, and
with muslin rag rub from the wrist
to the finger tips. When the glove is
still moist pull gently on the hand and
rub again with rag moistened in ben
zine, cleaning the finger tips, thumbs
and palm well. Remember that if you

process with the second glove, and
place the pair in the open air for an
hour or more, letting them rest on
clean towel. When they are thorough
ly aired, lay them away in violet or

you are ready to wear them, will hook
like new and will smell far sweeter
than when they were purchased
MILK in the Sick Room.
When milk diet is prescribed for
one who has an acid stomach it is often
best to add little lime water to it.
Lime water is made by turning two
quarts of hot water over piece of un-
Stacked lime an inch square. When it
is Stacked, stir and let stand over night.
In the morning pour off as much liquid
as is clear and bottle it. TO half Il pint
of milk add q teaspoonful of lime

use are to be found at most pharmacies.
