the game is practically in a woman's own
hand, though she must ever exert all her
diplomacy TIN her position becomes form

SLOW BUT SURE.
Her first year in society she must not
pretend to take n prominent part any
where. She must promptly connect her
self with the smartest charity work, Civ
ing largely, but working in a subordinate
position, under prominent women. Her
business is to give faultless luncheons
to guilds and committees meeting at her
house, study out the very perfect little din
ners, flatte rwith discretion, secure plenty
of men for her small dances, contrive
amusing theater parties, never break, an
engagement, rise from bed Of fever and
pitiless headache, If need be, to attend
an important dinner, and learn, above all
things, how to give and receive a snub.

zeal returning to the charge, has won many

In the ripe October time
When sunlig hts creep thro' wooded
places,
And every bloom is a poets rhyme,
Set in earth's broad mystic vases
Softly sail the Scholarships,
Filled with cabalistic fancies,
Kissing all the nower-lips,
Floating by the yucca lances.
Up the aromatic pines,
GIVING sturdy oak plaster,
Are rosaries of muscadines,
Nesting in the mottled jasper.
Filled with sweets the ciasping vines,
Bearing Natures royal chrism,
Great ripe, thick-5kinned muScadines
Far exceeding poets rhythm.
As press the fragrant lips,
Pouting thro' the leafy laces,
Sail away the shadow-shfps,
Leaving only sun-kissed places.

Autumn Dinner Tables.

Autumn Dinner Tables.
The sweet potato. Ipomoca Batatas,
though long known and appreciated in
the Southern States, where it is grown
extensively, has but recently come, 10 the
front as staple upon Northern tables
1t is of the yam family, and is not. as
many suppose it to be, a relative OF
the Irish potato.
Sweet potatoes are sometimes pared,
chopped into dice, Drowned and used as
coffee. They are used in variety OF
ways on our tables; as a vegetable, or
for fritters, croquetes, pies, puddIngs,
sweetDieats, etc. The following are
among the best methods of preparing them:
BAKED OR STEAMED SWEET POTATO.
Simply wash and bake until tender, as
other potatoes Bake the potatoes until
done, then peel, mash and season with
pepper, salt and cream.
Steam the potatoes until tender. When
thoroughly cold peel and slice them in
half-inch thick slices. Put a layer In
the bottom OF q deep baking dish and
sprinkle with sugar and bits OF butter;
then another layer of potatoes and more
butter and sugar until the dish is full.
Add cup OF water, place 1t in the oven
and let it bake slowly, moistening the
top occa asionally with the butter and wa
ter in the dish. until it is a delicate
brown. using about one-half cup butter,
one-half cup sugar, one-halr cup OF wa
ter, one quart OF Sliced potato.
POTATOES IN THE PAN.
Steam sweet potatoes until they are soft
but not broken. Peel and, slice them.
Boil two cups of sugar and one and one-half
cups of water Into thick syrup. Stir into
1t one-half cup of butter. Put the sliced.
potatoes into deep baking dish, and pour
the syrup over them. Sprinkle bits OF
butter over them ana bake from one and u
half to two hours.1
CANDIED SWEET POTATOES.
Peel and slice the raw potatoes and lay
them In a deep baking tin, with butter,
sugar and nutmeg, or any other spice pre-
ferred, sprinkledu among the slices. Add
a little water and bake until the syrup is
thick and the potatoes thoroughly done,
moistening the Top frequently so that it
does not become dry.
Peel and slice IN half-inch slices sweet
potatoes that have been steamed until they
are tender but not broken. Put them in
baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and bits
of butter. Pour over all one cup OF sweet
cream, and bake for fifteen or twents
minutes.

YOUTH AND BEAUTY NEEDED.
Other small round hats, especially those
on the turban order, are not distinguished
for their loveliness- There are toques of
velvet made by punching the velvet all
over a frame, that are becoming to small
heads, but felt turbans, definedby the name,
are as a rule anything but beautifying.

really French, but they are built on
English principles.
''Ah, that youths sweet-scented manu-
script should CLOSE" one says sadly with the
poet, perhaps as one turns away from the
mirror. For the hard lines and stiff trim

But truce to wailing, for never has
a season been kinder to the fading rose.
Bonnets, remember, will reveal ones
age 10 the year; but hats only are the
mode now, and the big felt FLATS al
ready mentioned, will be found almost
universally becoming.
The shaping of these hats is done en-
tirely by the milliner.
In their untrimmed state they are in
the brim as round as big moons, and
have stiff little CROWNS with flat tops.
The first step in their trimming is
bandeau that rests on the hair, and TO
which the hat is tackled in a way to un-
dulate the brim; the back is looped straight
up to the crown, which is alsoa favorite rear
arrangement for many other large hats.
POPULAR TRIMMINGS.
The trimming is put on according to
height of wearer, either with a broad low
eff ect, or else is mounted sharply at
one side.
Black ostrich feathers are used in pro-
fusion ON them, and on other hats as
well, and black velvet is also much in
favor. There are also gem buckles and
pins that are very splendid. One of

A Judgment Scene,

In one of our scriptures Judg-
ment scene is described. When
the Judge is seated on his throne
and before him the people are
gathered, he shall say to those
upon his right hand:
"Come, ye blessed of my father
inherit the kingdom prepared Tor
YOU from the foundation of the
earth. For | was hungered, and
We gave me meat thirsty, and ye
rave me drink naked, and We
clothed me; sick and IN prison.
and we visited me"
How does this apply to the liquor
dealer, manufacturer or seller
Let the Judge ask of the liquor
man
.Did you feed the hungry ?
mo. made the hungry more
hungry and took from him the
means by which he might have
lived"
did you give the least of my
brethren drink ?
eyes. I gave him drink, but in
stead of Re freshing him it turned
into fire within him and made him
less a man. 1t cursed him"
odd you find him naked and
clothed him p
"No. found him clothed and
in his right mind, and I took from
him his garments and left him ma
ked, in poverty and distress. "
Odd you find him in prison and
visit him :"
"No. l found him happy IN his
liberty, with father, mother, sisters
and brothers, or wife and children,
active and free and honorable IN
business, and I lowered him from
his freedom and placed him IN
prison in shame and wretchedness
and disgrace.
With shamefaCedness and new
w awakened sense Of the tremen-
dous wrong inflicted upon every in
terest of life, the liquor traffic must
plead guilty to this indictment be-
fore the bar of heaven and earth.
We can make no distinctions of
persons in business which from
first TO last is corrupt and democrat
lied, and which by common con-
sent begets more misfortunes than
all other causes combined. It can
be improved only by being aban-
dOned ; and while we wish to re-
sDect the bonds of our common
humanity, we will respect individ-
ual men only when they shall wash
their hands of the tremendous evil
and swear by the sanctities of life
that they will no more of it.-Dr,
