when sTarkinx Linen.

The approved spot for marking
sheets and pillow-cases that have tho
monogram or initials embroidered on
them is in the center OF the top hem
for the sheet, or just below it on the
crease or middle fold. The bottom Of
the letter should be toward the edga
OF the hem, SO that it will come right
when the hem of the sheet Is turned
over on the counterpart. Pillow-cases
are also marked in the center Of the
hem. Often such linen as well a.
table linen has in addition the family
crest, the same design in different
sizes being used through different sets
or the same set. The size Of the design
depends somewhat on the size Of the
piece marked. In embroidering crcsts
and coats Of arms the lines are done in
laid-stitch, the device in French knotA
and the background in seed-stitch.
Tablecloths usually have two mark
ings in opposite corners, placed SO Tar
in that the design will come on the
surface of the table when the cloth u
laid. Sometimes the markings are
placed on the middle lengthwise crease
OF the cloth, a little over ten inches
from the center, SO that they will not
come under the centerpiece when ono
is used. They, too, must bo SO placed
that the bottom of the letter points
toward the end of the table. Dinner
napkins have the marking in the cen.
ter of the square formed by folding
them twice each way.-St Louis Re-

New Use for Love Letters.

An ingenious bride, SO the story
goes, has evolved happy scheme for
keeping her husband true to the pro-
testations of his wooing. The engage
ment was a long one, the love-letters
exchanged, legion. With these letters
she has papered her boudoir. No man
could, in the face Of such evidence of
eternal devotion, object to the price of
a new bonnet, or be stingy in the mat
ter of pin-money. How could he scold
about the butchers bill, or be sulky
even if she did give his pet lounging
coat to the old clothes man, or put her
pug to sleep in his Sunday hat, or cried
because he stayed at the club and for
got to come in until midnight, as in
his bachelor days?-Philadelphia Call.

A BASKET LUNCHEON.
Appetizing Daintics which should Alwayu
be Included.

BE Included.
In a convenient corner of the house
keepers closet keep shelf for empty
paper boxes, ball of strong cord, a
drawer where brown paper bags, wrap
ping paper, wooden plates and Ja-
panese paper napkins may always be
found, and lastly dozen or SO sheets
of paraffine paper, so indispensable to
the freshness of the luncheon when
opened.
The foundation Of tho lunch is, Of
course, sandwiches, and with the but
ter trifle soft and the knife sharp,
these troublesome adjuncts are quick
" finished. They are much more
dainty il made small, one slice of
bread folded making one sandwich.
Some Of these make into the bread
and butter roll, trimming the edges,
wetting the knife in cold water and
rolling up closely Immediately after
buttering Make others into lettuce
mayonnaise, taking the crisp white let
tuce leaves from ice water and spread
ing thickly one side with mayonnaise,
place between buttered slices. The
same dressing will be found an invalu-
able addition to chopped ham, chicken,
tongue and corned beef To the last
add chopped lettuce leaves, mixed
with the dressing and spread on the
bread. All sorts Of potted meats come
in cans ready at moments notice.
Use the paraffine paper in wrapping
each kind of sandwich by itself.
Unless the luncheon is to be . large
one and elaborate, cut the cake and
wrap it by itself.
A few radishes may be slipped in odd
corners, not forgetting the salt which
makes them appetizing. Do not forget
the hard boiled egg, which SO many
enjoy, and the slices of cheese, always
appetizing. The collapsible drinking
cup should be added, doilies or paper
napkins, and the thin wooden plates.
This makes simple and easy lunch-
con. light to carry, of which nothing
need be brought home but the cup. If
the lunch baskets are to be conveyed
by the carriage, other necessities, the
alcohol lamp, coffee or tea pot, the
lump of ice, the cream, lemonade, all
made except the final additions Of cold
water will be found Indispensable. But
these directions are for. the simplest
basket luncheon that can be carried by
hand and yet be tempting to eat.
To save time the mayonnaise may bs
made the day previous, but the cake
should be OF the same days baking,
and is convenient to handle if made in
the individual patty pans. -Harper's

the Arithmetic Of the Clerk.
A clerk in an Austin store informed
his employer that his sister was going
to get married, and he wanted fur.
Tough of forty-eight hours to attend
the wedding, which was to take place
out in the country somewhere. Tho
merchant could not well spare the
services of the young man for that
length of time, but he finally consented
to let him go on condition that he
would return promptly at the expira-
tion of two days. 1if
''As soon as my forty-eight hours are
up I'll be back" said the young man,
hurrying of to catch the train, and
that was the last his employer saw of
him for six solid days. Then he walked
in, gripsack in hand and beaming
smile on his face, remarking:
ssBack on timer' roared the exasper~
ated employer. do you call six days
forty-eight hours?'
"Of course do. What else do you
call itY'
"Have you lost the use Of your men-
tai faculties, or are you trying, sir, to
take unwarranted liberties with me?"
"Why, am surprised. l told you |
wanted forty-eight hours recreation,
didn't I?'
Certainly. And Igave it to YOU"
"Just SO. And work in the store
eight hours day, don't l?'
"Of course"
"Well. eight into forty-eightgoss six
times, and l have been gone eight q

HOW the Housewife May Save, Yet Delic-

What IL the truest economy in mar
keting? 1t Is to buy the best and most
nutritious food materials that the
markets afford, and then use those ma
terials with care. Nothing need ever
be wasted.
Mushroom stems, left after sauteing
mushrooms, may be chopped fine and
used for sauce Bordelaise with the
breakfast steak. Turkey bones,
cracked make the most delicious soup.
A cup,of 'left over" tomato will season
. soup or give the delicious satice be-
loved of Mr.. Pickwick with his chops.
Bread crumbs dried in the oven and
rolled fine on the molding board will
do for breading those same chops, or
assist in the creation Of scallop or q
dressing. A cup of sour milk will be
the motif for johnny cake--de-
lieious morssli Bits of mutton,
ham; or veal, shine resplendent
in salads, croquettes or cannelona A
saucer of peas, carrot, few slices of
beet, an onion, little asparagus, or q
few string beans, by the exercise of a
little thought and "a twist of the
wrist" take on added charms in an ap-
petizing vegetable salad. The yolks OF
eggs, debarred from being compo-
nent part of an angels cake, will fill
an aching void in custard or sun
shine cake, while the whites of egg re-
naming after o mayonnaise dressing
of creation "a Ia Newburg" will be
promoted to an angels or delicate
cake, or give the crowning grace
to pudding in the guise of q mer-
ingue.
A cup of canned fruit or fruit juice
will form the basis for delicate or
roly-poly pudding, or water ice A
dish of cold boiled rice or macaroni
adds splendor to scallop mutton.
Cold baked sweet potatoes, cut in
slices, buttered, sprinkled with sugar,
and baked are a popular southern
dish.
few slices of sponge cake, or half
dozen ladytingers are foundation
that calls for the erection of a stately
charlotte russo, while a cup of straw
berries or saucer of canned pineap-
Pile gives the crowning touch TO the
edifice. A cup OF winter squash,
baked in a pie," is more to be desired
than ''four-and-twcnty blackbirds y
while just half cup of the crust left
over and baked in tarts for tea or
luncheon make the cook public bene-
factor. All these things rescued from
prolonged durance in refrigerator, cup
board, or cellar require both the time
and thought Of the would-be frugal
housewife; but If systematic review
of these possibilities is made every
morning before making out the menu
for the day, the result will soon be ap-

Fan silk

There will be a great vogue the COM
ing fall and winter seasons for repped
silks, corded silk and wool, and all.
wool materials. The silks have ordi.
nary, medium, and extra heavy reps,
these appearing in black and also a
wide range of colors. These will be
used for entire gowns. and also in COM
bination with other rich fabrics Fan
cy cords with shot or jaspered grounds,
in quaint mixtures of color, make more
or less elegant and dressy gowns, with
often a relief brocade, MORE or velvet
There are also broche changeable sat
ms of very elegant quality and lustre
that have shot grounds in the two col
ors with small broche figures of the
one or the other color on the ground
thrown on the surface; for instance, q
reseda and rose e-colored ground with a
red rose -colored design. These will
make lovely toilets for all sorts of oc-
casions, according to the color and the
degree Of decoration employed. Other
handsome silks for evening have chine
effects that look like water-color paint
ings. Pompadour silks of very snowy
coloring and pattern are designed ex-
clusively for very full-dress occasions.
These silks require to be toned down
rather than the contrary by their trim
mings--N. Y. Post.

New Lighthouse at Cape Hatteras De-
signed by Capt. Albert r. Eells.
The lighthouse soon to be built on
Diamond shoal, off Cape Hatteras, by the
United States government, will be con-
structed from the patent of Capt. Albert
F. Eells, of South Brooksvilie. Capt.
Eells has been several years working on
the patent, which is certainly great in
vention.
Something over year ago he finished
the plans of his invention and submitted
them TO the United States engineer at
Washington. A patent was then applied
for and obtained at once, and upon the
recommendation of the engineer, q COM
mission WAS appointed which has ac-
cepted Capt Eels' patent and ordered
lighthouse built accordingly
II the project proves successful, the
shipowners and sailors will owe much to
Capt. Eels, as this is one of the most
dangerous reefs on the whole Atlantic
coast, and the government in all previ-
GUS attempts has failed to establish
structure that would stand the elements
of wind and sea.

American waters are said to have been
in process of drying up for the past SIX

more next year, Canada would be al
most untenable. But this, we may ven
