Some Silver Novelties.

In few lines OF manufacture are novel
IDEAS more constantly developed than IN
the making OF slverware.
First by order OF the Importance 10 which
the bicycle has attained, are the silver
mOuntings and furnishings which are made
for the eInbellishment Of the wheel and
for the luxurious QUILTING OF its owner.
Among these is the silver Oil can. This
has fiat sides, with rider mounted upon
his wheel engraved on either side. This
Is as dainty a tool Is the most fast idiOus
wheelman could desire. Another acces-

is the silver name plate 20 be attached
TO the tool Dag. Then there are the silver
toe clips, beautifully chased, silver mount
ed grips and all-silvcr grips, engra we'd and
made to fit any handle.

iuxuries is but a step, at the jewelers..
For the work table. there are thread

only ones noticed were the watch stands,

Garter and belt buckles are not new in
idea, but new desig are constantly
being shown, and an all silver belt made
OF a series of medaIlions is a charming
novelty.
The silver belt pin, always in CUES

ment. She would certainly be out of
place II this were her character She need
not be tired mother who feels herself q
martyr to her children and their comrades
There are mothers who are not tired,
whose health is excellent, whose spirits
are not Jaded and who do not wish to be
omitted when the roll call of pleasure seekers
Is called. But any youthful married lady
MAY appropriately act as cbaperon to a
group of young people, as may dignified
spinster, still charming and elegant, though
past her own early youth. And q girls
father may chaperon her and prove most
delightful Wien acting in that capacity
1t is not desirable that picnic parties and
rowing parties and parties for riding aud
driving should consist exclusively Of the
young. Older people joining them willniake
them safer and therefore happier. Acct
dents sometimes happen to the bes tequipped
parties, and at such times woman of
experience and presence OF mind knows
precisely what to do and to say. and where
otherwise there would be wkwardness she
relieves the situation. Do not be so selfish
as to drag the weary and oyerworked
mother into society against her Will. but
let some woman whom everybody likes and
admires act In the mothers place.

FOR A SORE THROAT.

A PERFECTLY delicious and soothing
~ preparation for a roughened throat
is a lemonade made without the addi-
ton OF water. Crate the rind from one
lemon and squeeze the juice from two

sugar. Be very careful 10 CRATE only the
yellow, as the white gives bitter flavor.
Add the juice and grated rind OF an orange,
blood orange making it even more de-
liCious. Let this stand ten or fifteen min
utes and then strain through cloth. The
result is syrup with a refreshing and de-
liCious taste. More sugar can he used, but
the sourer the mixture is the better il
assua ges the thirst or irritation in the
throat. With the addition of water you
have lemona6e, which might fifty be called

THE wife of William H. Morrison, who
