ribbon that I'd only used once and that
was on Methodist bonnet, and felt per-
1ectiy safe in my mind about it. Not long
afterWard as I was sitting here doing
some sewing Deacon Squres came in to
buy some thread for his wife. Did you
hear the news? he said Mrs. Josiah Fos-
ter has jined the Methodists l declare,
you could have knocked me over with a
feather! 'Here'l be a rumpus," / said to
myself, for Mrs. Foster never could stand
having anything common. So, sure enough
in she came the next Monday as mad as
a hornet.
81 think, considering all the years I
have trusted you, Kesiah she said, that
you might have trimmed my bonnet diff
ferent from Nancy Whites, and she so
dowdy lookin'r and the next thing 1
heard was that she'd got a new bonnet
by catalogue from that big new store in
Brooklyn
Apple pies are never a perfect success
when the sugar is cooked with the apple.
Use a tart, well-havored apple. A good
Spltzenberg or a rich Greening apple makes
good pie. Let the apple be cut in the
thinnest slices; arrange the upper crust
over it lightly, so it can be readily remov-
ed, when the pie is baked, to add the re-
quisite amount of sugar for sweetening.
Do not add anything to the apple ;let it cook
in it's own juices inside the crusts. The
upper and under crusts should be crisp
and a beautiful brown in color. Remove
the upper crust to sweeten the pie, stir the
sugar in, replace the cover and dredge 1t
with powdered sugar; then serve the pie
while still warm, but not hot
There is an idea in France, says the
Philadelphia Times, that an unmarried
woman of % is an old maid, and from this
principally arises the haste of the parents,
and their way of treating the daughters
as a basket of eggs that must be disposed
of within a given time lest they should
lose their freshness and be no longer mar
ketable. The mothers zeal also gives rise
to suspicion that she wishes to relieve
herself of the responsibility of guarding
her daughter, which is not hattering TO
the latter's strength of character. After
she is married she enjoys freedom that
few American women would think OF
claiming The sudden transition from
tutelage to liberty from the dollhouse to
the open air, cannot be healthful to mar
ried life and it Is an injustice to the young
wife to send her forth without those arms
necessary to a woman's protection-ex-
| perience of the world and knowledge OF
| human nature. The absence of these nat
urally exposes her to perils. Then the
| tend love so often found in the household,
| and arising from the prevalent dowry sys-
| tenn contributes thereto, and this state OF
! things bears natural fruit in that dlso-
! bedience of the marriage vows with Wmch
| the French women are so often charged
by the English and Americans. Yet 1t IS
| but fair to add that the expansive, hYely
nature of the French woman, In Whom
| there is absolutely no cant, often proVokes
| suspicion in the Anglo-Saxon mind when
there is no ground for it.
| II Is very interesting, says the New YORK
Tribune to note the various changes VI
fashion in woman's handwriting, ana
the gradual evolution from the crude chi
| Biography of the early part OF this century
| to the conventional mannerlsm OF tne
Italian and English schools; and finally
| the freedom that has obtained vogue in
! the bold. free writing of the present time,
for it is only very recently that teachers
have allowed their pupils to be origl-
| nal.
The family scented old letters Kept

of the copybook in every letter of their

execution with fine hair lines and pointed

! The English handwriting, with its free,
| flowing lines and legibly formed letters,
was vast improvement, and 1t is ques-
| ton whether that of to-day is so desira-
| BILE AS far as regards style and general
appearance, it probably is not, but there
| is always a great charm in individuality,
and the latest teaching aims to develop
the characteristic. After careful teaching
| of the forms of the various letters to the
| children, copybooks are dispensed with,
/ and with due regard to legibility and neat
ness, pupils are allowed to develop their
own handwriting, being supposed thereby
to acquire an individual and characteristic
| chirography.
This Is the latest fad of a very up-to-
date teacher, who numbers among his pu-
| pills the children Of many prominent peo-

ing schools for the sloping pothooks and
running strokes, but in public schools the
| old-fashioned style Is still preferred.

make often wonderful guesses, but that
heredity should show itself In these
strange little hieroglyphics which express
