Prune Pudding.

Put layer of sliced bread or biscuit (first dipped well in boiling sweet milk ) in a baking dish, then layer of prunc sauce made as for serving plain, only removing the seeds of the prunes: then add another layer of bread, and so on with alternate layers until the dish is full, having the top layer of bread. Hav- ing sprinkled each layer with little sugar, pour over the whole the prunc juice and the remainder of the scaldcd milk. To make it richer bits of butter may be added to each layer; bake in a moderate oven for three-quarters of an hour. When cold turn it out on dish and spread whipped cream over the top; or it may be eaten hot with the favorite pudding sauce. This is nice to prepare on Saturday to be eaten cold for Sun. day dessert.-Philadelp Press.

About Tablecloths,

It is becoming more and more fash. ionable to eschew tablecloths, at any rate for polished tables. In modish houses cloths are quite the exception For the workaday room or shabby table however, there must be cloth, and the best is made of art serge, simply edged with basket stitch done in crew. els, turned over and herring-boned (thc hem turned up on the side that shows) or with band of plushette, mitred at the corners. The last device is the most difficult and expensive; the first two look very well and cost little. The best wearing color is willow green. It is also good hue for readers or needle. women to sit above.-N. Y. Mercury.

Pretty Covers May Be Made of Awning
 Cloth Embellished In Various Ways.
 Awning cloth, that stanch, sturdy stuff which we have been wont to re- gard only as a protection from the suns s too fierce rays, is capable of many things, and, once rescued, has future of decorative worth.
 In the old-fashioned bright reds and broken stripes it was not desirable utilitarian uses it could serve. But to- day, in common with other things, it shows evidence of good design and that improved color which is so excellent a thing.
 The couches and the divans that are so popular and so delightful are ex- cellent when upholstered with this simple stuff, and outdoor pillows and cushions are simply perfect when GOV. cred with it's broad stripes and rich, warm blues.
 The fact of its being cool of texture, as well as strong. makes the cloth pc. culiarly desirable for the summer months, and many are the delightful results that can be obtained by its use. Window seats upholstered with the broad blue and white, or brown and white, stripes are both handsome and serviceable. The material that was de- signed for awnings is necessarily strong and durable, so that even the scramble of the little people and such constant use as the favorite window is sure to get will do no harm. The colors will not fade, the cloth will not easily sag, and withal, the seat will be quite as handsome as though the cost had been double. or even more.
 For hammock pillows and piazza cushions it is simply all that need be asked, and its varying color needs no decoration outside itself, so that busy women may we'll be glad to hail its coming. The peculiar stanchness and durability of the cloth is. of course, the same, let the color be what it will, and when really good. warm tones are added, it is indeed an excellent thing.

cAILDREN's BIRTHDAYS.
Pretty Customs That Bring Joy to th
 Little Ones.

Pretty Customs That Bring Joy to the
 Little OneS
 Grown people do not always appre. ciate what an event birthday is in a child's life. Next to Christmas it is the red letter day of the year. Awhole year nearer mans or woman's estate means a great deal to child, and fills the boy or girl with an added dignity and sense of importance. Seven is so very much older than six!
 In some households this perfectly natura! delight is increased by the nearty sympathy of the parents. But there are other homes in which the all. important day passes unnoticed save by careless mention, a mere reminder to the child that he has begun another year, and this remark may possibly be seasoned with the bitter sauce of a sug. gestion to an improvement in conduct. Not long since my heart was moved to pity by talking to clever little boy who told me that he was eight years old on that day.
 And what presents have you re- celved! aSked.
 He looked surprised.
 "Oh, we don't keep birthdays at our house." he replied. My mother says it's foolish. Then she forgot that I am eight to-day until breakfast time this morning."
 The more fortunate six-year-old at my side interrupted before I could check him.
 Forgot" he exclaimed. "Why, my birthday came little while ago, and any mamma made me a cake with six can dies on it, and had presents and lots of fun!"
 Childhood is so brief, and the time when each recurring birthday is not a joy comes so soon that it is pity not to make the anniversaries joyous to the little ones.
 Mamma said one rapturous child, 'you must be very glad was born, be. cause you have given me such a beauti. full birthday"
 Of course mamma" was glad, and be- ing glad, why not show it? A child is never spoiled by the consciousness of a mothers love and delight in his exist ence.
 A pretty custom is in vogue in some families. The child whose birthday is celebra ted gives to each brother and sis ter some little token. It may be only an inexpensive toy, but it inculcates in the doner's heart the spirit of unselfish- ness, and teaches him the joy of giving as we'll as that of receiving.-Harper's BaZar
