Princess Beatrice, as Governor of the
Isle of Wight, is to be asked to unveil
the monument to Tennyson which is to
be set UP on lofty ledge of the south
ern coast of the Isle of Wight, and will
serve not only as a memorial OF the poet
but as a landmark for sailors.
A dainty to serve at a luncheon is
lemon toast. Take the yolks OF three
eggs beat them well, and stir them into
a breakfast cup of milk; cut some stale
bread in slices and soak them for min
ute in the milk and egg, then fry to a
delicate brown in boiling butter squeeze
over a little lemon juice, add sifted su-
gar and serve very hot.
What caprice animates the fashion
able young woman to insist on using
two-one cent stamps for her letters in
lieu Of the more convenient one two
cent one? She does it persistently.
The Princess of Wales, of whom 1t is
being told in London at the moment
that she was very recently taken for
the sister of the daughter with whom
she was walking, is confessedly the
youngest looking for her years Of all
the members of European courts. In
her mortar board and gown, which she
has the right to wear as Mus. Doc,
a degree lately conferred upon her, She
might easily pass for a college girl in
stead Of the grandmother which she is.
Any girl who practices the foolish art
of Irritation is in danger; but when she
firts with a married man the danger IS
increased a hundred fold. She may de-
lude herself With the thought that sim
PIE friendship prompts his gifts and at
tentions; but some day she will awaken
tc the knowledge that there We're other
thoughts in his mind all the time. A
man who is false to the woman to
v hom he gave his name will not be true
to one who has no claim upon him, and
is not a safe companion for her.
But personal safety is not the only
question to be considered by the girl
who delights in Irritation with mar
Tied man. Even should it never result
in anything more serious than mere
Irritation, she is doing a great wrong
TO another Filtration with any man
tends to rob a girl of the sweet, girlish
innocence which, once gone, is gone
man is not only more dangerous. but
it is wicked and cruel in the extreme,
and is sure, sooner or later, TO bring
suffering to the one who practices it.
And why should she not suffer? Can
anyone pity her? Is it not just? She
deliberately set herself to rob another
woman of all that made life dear to her
the love of the man who had taken
all she had to give. She laughed at
her poor victims suffering, and planned
different methods of increasing the tor
ture Not only did she steal the af
fiction which belonged to that other
woman, but the money and dainty tri-
fles which should have been bestowed
upon her. And for what? Simply the
Indulgence of a miserable personal
vanity Ought she not to suffer at least
To the extent to which the victim of
her vanity was made to suffer? In all
the world is there a more despicable
creature than the girl who fiirts with
q married man?-The Housekeeper.
An excellent sweetmeat to serve with
ice cream is made from pears pre-
served with slices of green ginger root
Cut the pears and root both in small
pieces and use juicy, well Favored fruit
that is not too ripe. quart of this
preserve is all that will be necessary
for a good-sized family, as a teaspoon
ful, often less is all one will want of
this piquant sweet.
At pretty luncheon given the week
before a wedding ceremony, the table
was decorated with white anemones and
ferns and at each cover there was
placed a small white satin slipper filled
with rice. At another luncheon given
40 the same bridal party at each Of the
twenty covers there was an engagement
ring tied with a white satin ribbon.
Each ribbon crossed the table and when
drawn from under the centerpiece where
the ends We're concealed there was found
attached a card on which was written
proposal of marriage from the works of
some famous author. At a dinner given
lately to a bridal party, the hand
painted guest cards had upon them Gu
pids carrying baskets Of roses and
standing upon two pierced
hearts.
olives look very pretty when served on
small dish garnished with glossy
leaves and small red peppers. If used
in the winter picked peppers may be
taken for the garnish.
Some beautiful pieces Of bed-linen
made for a new house where there is no
money limit are a sheet of sheer linen
tordered with beautiful hand made
lace. half a yard wide, and pillow
cases trimmed at the ends with mar
rover lace of the same pattern
luncheon cloth of plain linen has Dor
der Of heavy point Venise, the pattern
in each corner of the cloth taking the
form of a large horn of plenty, which is
inserted or inlaid in the cloth
II a blister is found in wallpaper after
1t is hung. take a pen-knife. carefully
cut the slit. then dip small camevs-
hair brush in little paste, and paste
the cut surface down Go over the spot
lightly with a small hammer. and when
the paste Is dry the blisters VIII have
disappeared and the doctoring of the
spot will not be suspected. This is the
way that professional paper hangers
treat blisters In lightweight and light
colored papers. If very heavy, embossed
or dark-colored plain papers were used,
a different treatment would be neces-
sary.
One Of the best relishes to serve with
tloiled reedbirds is a salad OF tart
oranges dressed with salt. pepper. lem
