THB cLEYEK WOMAN.
She Didn't Write or Paint, But She
Made Home Happy.

She Didn't Write. or Paint, But She
Made Home Happy.
IT WISH l were CLEVER
- The woman; was charmi ngly
dimpled, wore O Felix gown,
was the mistress of a luxurious
establishment, and was dispensing
tea to afternoon callers i'll cups OF priceless
faience.
"Wcmen who write" had been the
subject on the tapis and the remark was
delicate Compliment to the woman to
whom she handed the tea. She was sue
cessful writer-successful TO the extent
OF making good income the fruit of un-
wearied industry. She had never known
the delights of diamonds or her own car
rage or a box t the opera. She sometimes
spent a hard-earned $5 for drive, but
there was neither luxury in the carriage
nor swiftness in the stet ds, and she was
conscious all through the drive that when
she went buck to the office she would
write something about the country in
spring or the flotsam of fall foliage and
flowers with which the suburban resident
could decorate his houae and table.
She never had u Felix gown, on the con-
trary. she walked ten blocks and climbed
seven stories to find a dressmaker who
would make, though ut the same time mar.
her one gown for $40. Her modest house was
pretty and she was even quite famous for
her pctites soupers, ut which one some
times met eminent ana always delightful
people; but only herself and her one maid
knew at what cost OF perspiring brow and
smutched fingers and aching back those
dainty little dishes were evolved.
So there was almost reverence in her
tones as she replied:
My dear, you are the clever woman:
you are far more clever than George Eliot.
The really smart woman is not the one who
makes her own daily bread, even though
there be n NesseIrodc pudding thrown in
now and then. IL is she who. without rais-
ing her hand, can cause all this luxury to
be laid at her pretty satin shod feet. II is
nkcca,ing a dinner andIamenting
that you are not the chef who cooked it.
Not the woman who works. but she who
gets al there is in life without working,
is the really clever woman"
May there not be two kinds of clever
ness" said the woman who came to make
her adieux.

the Latter Leading.
IT IS TOO EARLY for genuine nov
elites In spring wraps which can DE
accepted as the reigning style of the
j season, but Il few models which are
at least new may serve as sugges-
tons OF things to come.
Capes and jackets will both be worn,
and the latter, cut with loose fronts and
sack backs, seem destined 10 lead the sty.es
in coats. They are made in smOo'h-faced
cloths and in velvet as well, when the yoke
is usually trimmed with jet. The plated
back Is much more graceful than the straight
cut, and the yoke OF the velvet coat shown
is covered with colored silk passenicnterie,
while black accordion-plaiied chiffon iorms
the cpaulettes and full neck ruchc.
Another coat of black cloth is slightly
curved at the side seam, 10 fit in TO the
figure, and the fuIiness is arranged with
two decided box plai,s. The. epaulettes
are of white satin closely beaded with black.
Capes are cut reasonably full and more
siOping on the shoulder. TO hang grace
fully over the dropping sleeves, and fin
ished at the neck with "A ruche OF ribbon

The second cape Is decidedly n summer
garment, and Is made of gauzy blJck

China silk flowers are applied AT inter-
vais, with opal-colored beads and black
pailiettes. and the ruffie on the edge and
ruche around the neck are double, OF
black chiffon over white.
Tailor-made capes are In all the shades

silk. and stylish high collar is cut ont In

HOW tn TREAT Lettuce.

When lettuce comes from the market i'm
mediately cut Off the roots far enough to
loosen the larger leaves. Wash it all thor
oughly, spread out an old napkin, or, better
still, square of chccsccloth. and place the
clean, wet lettuce leaves, as though they
were all together again, in the center. Tie
the corners Of the cloth together like ped
dler's pack and place it on the ice. When
time for serving arrives, though it be not
for two or three days. the lettuce will be
clean, crisp and perfectly dry. This is
the very best way to prepare it and does
away with drying each leaf-a process
sure to bruise the tender leaves. Celery
should be treated the same way. Cut off
the big tops, prepare 1t for the table, piece
by piece. wrap it in a wet cloth and
keep on the ice. AT meal time there is
nothing to do but put on the celery dish
what is needed. and it will be clean, dry
and crisp.-Phiiadelpbia Public Ledger.

would build church dedicated to His
worship. Some one had n runt pig. He
gave 1t to her. She raised 1t until it was
large enough to butcher. and sold Ii for
good price. This money went with the

but she bore up bravely under the mis-
fortune. raised the calf by hand and sold
1t. Again her church fund was increased by
several dollars. She further increased the
fund by raising and selling vegetables.
Last fall, after the miners had been at
work several months again, she made an
other pilgrimage among the people to see
II she could raise any money by subscrip-
uou. But they had all been so far behind
and owed the "store" so much that she
again failed. She went over the entire
ground once more. This time she didn't ask
for money. She wanted to know OF every
man she met il he would give as much as
one or two or three or four days work on
the church Nearly every man donated la
Dor. 1t was all he had to give. Then she
went to see Il large lumber dealer. She told
MIN her story and told him how much money
she had raised. He offered to sell her lurn-
ber with which TO build the church at cost,
and for every dollar she had to donate its
value in lumber himself. What was lacking,
he said, she could pay for later. Then she
had to get site for the church. This was
easy. She found 2 man who had lots Of
mountain land, and who had heard of her
many months OF hard work for a church,
and he readily assented to the donation Of
sufficient land on which to erect the edifice.
Work was soon begun. The church is
now under roof. The walls are simply
studding, weather boarded. The building
contains no seats, no pulpit is not plaster
ed, nor is 1t ceiled. But it's church, and
Mrs. Hultz is happy. The w. c. T. U. OF
Lexington learned this story through Mrs.
Beauchamp, the State president 1t has
donated a large stove with which to heat
Mrs. Hultz's church. The ladies of Lex
ington will donate $50 chairs, one-third
ofthat number having been pledged already.
As soon as the church receives these dOna-
tions Elder McGarvey will hold a meet
ing there.

A LIttie Heroine Mt Ta.menia.

A pathetic incident is reported from
Tasmania. An island close 10 the coast.
known as Trefoil Island. was leased to
n man named Kays, who lived on it
with his wife and children. they being
the only inhabitants. A clergyman called
at the island recently, and was told by
Belinda Kays, girl OF fourteen, that
some weeks before her father and mother,
with a brother aged ten and sister aged
seven. had started in boat for Wool
north, on the month coas. Of Tasmania. and
that when a short distance from shore
the boat sank. and she saw them drown.
She had since looked after her five younger
brotners and sisters. The flour and pro-
visions had run out. but the children had
killed q sheep and had been living on it.

Delft Parties.

Lent is n good time 10 give a Delft
luncheon while the craze for Delft ef
fects lasts. The square doyiies embroid-
cred in blue are laid cCrnerwise in front
of each guest. The glass rests on the far
point, and the near corner falls lightly
over the edge OF the table. There will
be no flowers at a Delft luncheon. A
huge candelabrum is ihe center decOra
ton. The candle shades should be OF
blue and white crepe paper, or decorated
with conventional windmllls aud saiIboats.
There will be just as few things as possible

A bicycle bag was recently brought over

1t is of green leather and in size q trifie

The New Calling Card.

An effort is Being made by those who
desire variety to introduce the fashion
In vogue thirty years ago OF having names
ON calling cards put in Roman letters.
Howling swers have their cards engraved
In this style. 1t is more expensive than
the oldfashiOned script. Certain con-
servatives of the fashionable world HOOK
askance at these cards engraved in Roman
letters, for no matter how exquisifely
they are executed they suggest at first
glance common printing. However, Ii
you wish to bc very fit, have thin card
embellished with YOUR name in small Roman
canitRlS.
