The Nursery breakfast.

During the winter months the children's s
hrea kfasi should be rather different in na-
ture from what it was in the warm weather.
Then fruits and bread and milk in abundance
may have been sufficient for the morning
repast. Now, when the intense cold makes
the little ones, even in heated houses.
begin the day in shvering condition,
something more warming is needed. Oat-
meal (or If, as is sometimes the case. this
proves indigestible, cracked wheat or rice
and milk should come first. This may be
followed by bit Of teEder steak, a chop
or q sOft-boiled or poached egg.
Hot toast, lightly buttered. or milk toast,
accompanies this. If the morning is very
cold and the children seem chilly, let
them have cup of weak cocoa. made OF one
part of boiling water and three parts of
scaldcd milk. A small teaspooDful Of cocoa
dissolved in the boiling water will be suf-
ficient for each cup. 'Cambric teal e..
milk slightly swectened and made warm by
the addition of little boiling water-is n
much appreciated variation from the usual
cold milk when the thermometer is at zero.
As during this season the system. is apt
to become sluggish, it is an excellent plan
to give the little ones a juicy orange at
the end of breakfast. While oder people
prefer this fruit as first course. the acid
taken INTO an empty stomach is not alwa IS
of benefit to the more delicate digestive
apparatus of a young child.-Harpers Ba-

A woman who saw the wedding gifts of
the duchess of Marlborough told a reporter
that a pair of garter buckles in the collec-
ton came from n intimate girl friend, who
has much artistic genius. She did the
dukes features on two ivory discs and set
each one around with fine opals and bril-
liants, and attached the baubles to gor-
geous yellow garters.

MISS IDA MUNROE of san Francisco
is looked upon by her neighbors rs Kind
of heroine. because She performed what she
herself considers the very simple feat or
painting her mothers house. Her family
are in the habit OF speaking OF her as the
''man OF the house. and calling upon her TO
drive nails and Xix fences, so when the
roof needed painting. and they could not
afford TO hire anyone to do it, it seemed a
very natural thing for her to take the task
upon herself. She donned her bicycle bloOni-
ers. and says that she enjoyed the work I'M

Inexpensive Jardinieres.

The woman who cannot afford to buy a
silver jardiniere for the center OF her table
need not despair. Just as pretty effects
may be obtained with an expenditure of
third of the money. Buy at any of the
florists Il hardy fern, growing in pot
n very good one may be bought for 20
cents. Cover the pot with a putting OF
Grape paper, which should be tied with
ribbon. This will make a dainty jarfiiniere
and one which will need but little care.
When ferns are used, have the Grape paper
either in white or pale green. A primrose
treated in this way will make pretty

CAN YOU MAKE BEDS?
A Rather Difficult Task Made Plain
to the Young Housewife.

" HE art of bedmaking is not any too
wv well understood. In the morning
each blanket and sheet should be
i taken separately from the bed and
hung over a chair to air for an hour
or So The mattresses should be turned be-
fore the bed is made Put on the under sheet,
tucking it in well at the head. Pass the
hands over it carefully TO take out every
wrinkle and then tuck it i'll at the sides
and foot. Next place the bolster in posi-
ton. Put on tie upper sheet, tucklng it
well under the mattress at the foot. Next
put on the blankets, tucking them in at the
foot and sides. Now turn the sheet back
on the blankets. and then turn blankets
and sheets both down in one smooth fold.
Next put on the spread. letting 1T come
over the bolster. Then over the bolster
place the pillows that are used during the
day.
All through the work, bear in mind that
it is important to have the mattress level
and to put on the sheets, blankets and
spread without a wrinkle.
