THE DAYS DISH.
virginia POne.

TT Is to the Southern housekeeper
that we owe the cooking of hot breads
in all their perfection. To make what
1 iscalled ponc, upon one quart of white
corn meal pour just enough boiling
water TO scald it through. After stirring
it thoroughly let it stand until cold; rub
into 1t a piece of butter about the size OF
q small egg, and add little salt. Beat
two eggs until light, without separating;
add them to the meal. mix well, add one
pint of sour milk or buttermilk, beat until
smooth. Dissolve one teaspoonful of soda
in tablespoonful of boiling water, stir In
tue mixture. turn into a creased baking
pan, and bake in n quick oven for thirty.
five minutes. This is a fine corn bread for
either breakfast or tea.

Homemade Hat Flowers.

Flowers made OF taffeta silk are one of
the seasons most popular garnitures for
all kinds OF headgear. They are very eff
fectiye. and may be made nj home at COM
paratiyely small cost, and equal in every
respect to those bought at 4 high-priced
miiliner's- A double rufile of the silk is
Joined aud gathered i'll the center, some
thing after the fashion of a roscttc. The
centers must be purchased, and should be
of the same shade as those OF the natural
flower. POppies, roses and larger flowers
develop most satisfactorily, the smaller
blossoms requiring professional constr,ic-
tion.

For Cold Sores.

Sores OF the lips, frequently called cold
sores, but properly known as herpes, MAJ
often be cured by the simple application of
alcohol. As soon as these sores begin to
make their appearance, battle with 80
per cent alcohol several times daily. The
addition OF camphOr gum to the alcohol
renders 1t somewhat more efficient. A
onc-half per cent solution of carbolic acid
in alcohol, or n 3 per cent solution of
resorcin In alcohol is also an excellent ap-
plication.

but the ruff. or ruche. must be of the most
elaborate arrangement.
An extremely smart one is as full as can
be, sets high about the ears and far out over
the shoulders. 1t is made OF a soft golden
yellow tinted mousseline dc sole. in suo-
cession OF double box plaits, edged all about
with tiny black thread lace.

pink mirror velvet. all crushed fiat to the
head in an artistic, mass, the velvet caught
high at one side in tall loops. with a lot OF
crushed pink roses and, dull purple vioets.
A most effective head and shoulder decora-
ton for such wear isa combination OF black
and palest pink. ~. d.
The ruff takes the form OF fcIiu. and Is
made of the softest OF black gauze. Among
the frills on the shoulders Is n delicious mass
of tiny pink silk blossoms hanging on long.

those on tile fichu.l Two sharp wings OF

A delightful dainty muff TO go with this

SONS. with big bow and two nuttering
ends of black satin ribbon. Narrow edgings
OF butter-coiored lace trim many OF the
black ruches. For evening wear ruches OF
pale tints are decorated In this way and
make delightful shoulder coverings
Adjustable collars and wrist decorations
are made of rows of ribbon set on broad
band in loops. interspersed with lots OF
butter-colored lace. A trimming OF this
sort can be set on the extreme edge OF the
sleeve. thus stimulating the new mode Of
decorating over the hand.
The beautiful rich Dresden ribbons are
wonderfully becoming when arranged in
ruffs after the style of Elizabethan times
to set high up at the back and fall In loops
at the front. Often the ribbon has mar
row edging OF delicate point de Venice lace.

beHI.
She has a dress OF Dublin green,
And many glowing colors b!ent,
She longs to have the costume seen,
But she must wait awhile, 1 ween,
To show the garb-for it is Lent.
She wears her heart upon her sleeve,
With cequetry of mild intent:
And yet her many suitors gricvc,
Because. alas! they must believe,
In spite OF all, that It is Lent.
So. everywhere we turn today
Our dearest hopes in twain are rent.
And, though our bills we long to pay,
To creditors we have to say:
mo cash today, for it is Le1t.''
