be organized by wards. These
clubs can be not Only an important
help in the present campaign, bat
they can also be a permanent GOO

. cessary for this, although State or
gapizers and county orgapizsrs may

with silk embroideries, ribbon collar and

The lir. y is sheer and fine, and is COM
bined with white lace of a simple

infants waist worn over a cuimpe, but
there are variations that make it better
suited to mature years. The deep yoke or
gulmpe Is made either of fine cotton lace
or OF needlework. Around the neck, serv-
ing as a finish. are deep points that fan
over the shoulder, and each of these has an
edge of either lace or embroidery.
The sleeve forms one big puff that ter

studies the faces that come before her she

New Bread.

New bread and the hot morning roll have
been condemned as Injurious and difficult
Of digestion. However true this charge may
be. the use of new bread appears, even
from the hygienic point of view, to have
some compcnsating advantages. Dir. Troit-
xxi states that he has found that new and
uncut bread contains no micro-organisrns,
rs the heat necessary to bake the bread
necessarily destroys them, while soon
after exposure. many microbes, not infre
quently pathogcnetic, are TO be found On the

HINDU NoMEN CONVERTS.

"HE Mahratta Ind the subodh
w Prakash of Hindustan have lately
published some very condemnatoty
L articles on what they are pleased to
call the prosclytizing of some young
Hindu widows. The facts, as we learn
them from the Times Of India, are as fol-
;ows: "Pundita Ramabai. who became
Christian while in America some years ago,
on her return to India established the Pun
dita Ramabai willows Home, at Poona, on
the avowed prrcple that the home would
be conducted on religious lines, and
that the religious opinions of the young
aides intrusted to her care would notin the
least be tampered with. To the great sur
prise of the Hindu community they learned
recently that about a dozen widows had re-
nounced their religion and become conv verts
to Christianity, and the feelings OF the com
munity have been greatly aroused all over
the presidency of Bombay, the Hindu press
dcnounicng undita Ramabaiin unmeasured
terms, using all sorts Of reproachful epithcts
against her and warning parents against
sending their young widow ed daughters to

THE CARE OF CUT GLASS.

II VEN cut glass is not beautiful unless
~ properly cared for, and gr eat care Is
required to keep il in a state OF
- pristine freshness. The greatest
mistake is made in attempting too
high polish, which, as a rule, many persons
consider one of the chief beauties of this
ware. Constant polishing reduces the ex-
quisite finish which makes il appear so
bright when new. In order to retain this
brilliancy, let the article, when quickly
cleaned, he allowed to dry alone a fter being
properly rinsed. A soft linen towel should
be used but little in the care of cut glass,
and it will be always bright and sparkling
There isalmost no Russian cut glass brought
to this country, and it differs greatly from
other makes in being dull and heavy.
English a nd American glass is highly
wrought and new features are constantly
in the market. American manufacturers
freq uentiy copy Russian patterns. A
beautiful loving cup, richly cut, is among
the newer impor,ations of English glass.

ABOUT LUNCHEONS.

I UNCHEON is an import ant meal and

fresh and made Of freshly boiled
water. At least one hot dish should form
part Of the menu 1t should not be a heavy
one, but it should be nourishing. Omelets,
poached eggs, hashed meats on toast, cro-
Iuettes or the like shoulI be served. A green
salad or relish should be on the table, and
fruit, either cooked or raw, should be eaten.
Toast is more palatable than cold bread, and
should therefore be used. Cake is an I'M
necessary luxury, a sufficient amount of
sugar being taken in the healthier form of
fruit. Such a MONDAY diet as this is ap.
petizing, nourishing and digestble-a trim
