She.

A misty mass of lace and such
Ethereal things you dare not touch;
"A crown OF wavy, filnIy hair,
Zone strand OF which you'd like to wear
Upon your coat; two dancing eyes,
Whose glance your love-lorn look defies;
A nose that has saucy air,
And mouth-"Why, kiss me IL you dare!''
That's she. And this is
HE.
A conscious clump OF tailor clothes;
A longish head; i Roman nose;
Chameleon eyes OF blue and green
And gray-eycs seldom seen;
A mouth that talks steady stream
In reverie or idle dream,
But scarce can utter or express
One single thought IL but her dress
Touch but his foot as she gees by.
Blushing, pause-you wonder why?
Why, he Is and / am he,
And you, my Darlington arc she!

behooves every girl not TO look tired, and to
guard against This she must la We comfortable
shoes. A shoe that pinches in the least is
bound TO stamp on the girls features a
tagged expression before the evening is half
over, yet a shoe may not pinch and still be
very fatiguing. A slipper especially may slip
up and down at the heel If too large and
cause almost as much discomfort as a
cramped feeling. Consequently the girl
who wishes success in the ballroom should
look well TO Tie comfort of her shoes.

Simple Rice Pudding

FOR small pudding use one pint of milk,
half a pint of water, two tablespoon.
fuls of sugar, one teaspoonful OF corn.
starch. half teaspoonful of salt and one
quarter of 4 cupful of rice.
Wash the rice in three waters, rubbing
it well between the hands in the first
water. Put the rice in a saucepan with
quart of cold water, and place it on a
cool part of the range for half an hour.
At the end OF that time pour Off the water
and add half a pint of cold water. Place
in the double boiler and cook half an hour;
then add half the milk.
Mix the cornstarch with q quarter of
cupful of the remaining milk, and stir into
the pudding. Cook for half an hour longer.
Take the pudding from the fire and add
the salt. sugar. a slight grating of nut

Your Rings.

II is never wise To wet rings that have
stones in them. or course all rings need to
be clca ned from time to time, and diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, and sapphires will stand
washing with sap. Turquoises and seed
pearls will change color IL subjected TO any
such treatment. The ma jority fpearl rings
have not the full, round. perfect pearl which
alone will stand wclting. Almost all pearls
nave at least tiny pin prick somewhere on
their surface, and this, like spot OF decay
Ina tooth, will Omit substances which will
damage them. 1t is therefore usual TO Ia Ike
off ones rings when washing the hands.
This is how many valuable jewels re lost.
An old-fashioned but excellent preventive
of forgetfulness on such occasions is TO put
The ring into your mouth, or at least be.
tween your lips. Then you will remember
10 slip II on your finger after drying your
hands.

Broom Covers.

A broom cover of cotton flannel in any
dark color is veritabe boon to a tired
housekeeper. Fit the cover closely over
the broom in bag fashion, tying 1t closely
with a string run in the upper hem. The
best ooiors for these covers are dark gray,
red, or any oo!or that does not crock after
sweeping off the kitchen floor or any
painted on hard wood floor. Go overitw with
a covered broom, and every particle OF dust
can be easily taken up and the floor polished
almost as bright as if ii had been rubbed
with cloth by hand. covered broom Is
valuable for sweeping piazzas as well as
for sweeping down walls.

WOMEN THE WORLD OVER.

"HE engagements of Miss Florence Pull
man, daughterof the palace cal mag
nate, to Corporation Lawyer Frank
Lowden of Chicago, was announced
in that city on Tuesday.
Miss Pullman is &c years old and worth
$4,000 in her own right.
THE Chicago women are certainly In the
van OF her sex. One of them is the Junior
member of the law firm of Sphinx & Sphinx,
her husband being the senior partner. Mr..
Sphinx says Mrs. Sphinx is the best common
law lawyer whom he knows. and his tudg-
ment Is borne out to some extent by the
fact that she headed the list of successful
candidates at bar examination the other
day. Mrs. Sphinx is described as an inteIli-
gent little woman, with rich, auburn hair.
o.
SINCE her marriage, says Town Topics,
Mrs. o. II. Z. Belmont has had sent out a
number of cards by way official announce
ment. They are OF gigantic size. so that
he whoruns may read. Especially noted the
fact. because 1 saw one of the recipients
trying to dispose OF hers in the dainty
scrap-basket beside her escritoire, but the
card was too large for the basket, and she
had to tear it in two.

A Tea Party Feature.

At a tea party lately given to elderly
women, each guest was requested to send
in advance all tie photographs of herself
that she owned, and very amusing after
noon was spent in guessing who were
the originals of the pretty children, young
women and matrons represented in the
pictures.

THE old-fashioned, hand-woven bed

are now the fashion for portieres. Those
which were woven in blue and white are
just the thing for delft room. Though they

from their artistic value. Besides being
useful for portleres, these old-time bed

THE woman who Is devoted to things

in her house curtained with fishnet drapery.
This effective material is an excellent
imitation of genuine f:shnet, is somewhat
softer and Grapes better. 1t Is made OF
threads woven with a loose, coarse mesh,
and when used for curtains is generally
finished with a flounce of itself. An odd
idea is to have the pole from which the
curtain hangs shaped like an oar. If the
curtains re tied back at all, let it be with

of various sizes. They are made Of
steel for fine work, and OF ivory,
bone, or boxwood for larger, coarser work.

VENETIAN embroidery done on heavy
linen Is very effective. The designs are
outlined with flat soutache braid, button
hoed over. and the centers are filled in
with various large stitches.
o.
ROMAN embroidery on heavy satin duck
Is also used. The designs are outlined
in buttonhloIe stitch over cord; the centers
are filled in with long stitch, interlaced eff
fectiyely in some portions of the pattern.
o.
OUTLINE stitch is the fundamental
stitch of Kensington neeclewor which
still continues popular. II is used on much
of the embroidery of the day. 1t is used for
working designs in outline, either flow
ers. figures, or pictures. in the latter being
sometimes called sketch embroidery.
SPLIT outline stitch is used for outlining
very fine designs. 1t is the same as ordi-
nary outline stitch. except that the needle
is brought up through instead of at one side
of the thread of the preceding stitch. thus
making the outline finer and more even.
SOME of the daintiest doyles are made
of fine cambria with hemstitcbed borders.

CHILDREN'o PARTIES.
just How to Make Them Plea sa mt a nd
Enjoyable Little Affairs.

n IGHTLY managed children's parties
II are never a mist axe. But let them
II be parties for real children, and
L not for mannikins. aping the airs
and graccs of grown men and
women. The best hours are from 1 2 to 4,
with lunch at l or from 2 to 6, with lunch
at $50.
The refreshments should be plain and
judiciously chosen. 1t is a poor compli-
ment to the mother to invite her child to a
party and let is so overeat itself with food
not appropriate to it that the physician
must be summoned the next day. A very
pretty menu for children. either for lunch or
supper, is bouiliOn, thiniy-sliced cold tur-
key or chicken, the white meat only; deli
cate ham sandwiches, tiny biscuits, thin
bread and butter Cocoa, cake ice cream and
fruit.
Let one Of the little girls take the head
of the table and pour the bouillon, and
another the foot and pour the cocoa, and
ir you draw lots for these important posi-
tions it will add to the interest. Have no
bonbons except the very best chocolates.
The favors and prizes should he simple and
appropriate for children Cunning little
pasteboard hats OF various shapes, that are
really boxes, may contain in the crown a
very few bonbuns.
