Lilies in Ice.-The Queen of England

petals to pale lavender. were frozen in
June laGt in a block of ice three feet

press her thanks to the donor.

How to FurI an Umbrella.

Almost every one knows there is
right way to wrap an umbrella, although
1t would seem that few know what that
way is. A maker of umbrellas is report
ed i'll the New York Herald as saying
this i'll regard to the matter:
Take the handle of the umbrella in tho
right hand, holding the ends of the
frame between tho thumb and first fin
ger. With the left hand pull out tho
flaps of the silk and fold each one sepa-
rately and carefully about the rod,
smoothing out the end nearest the han
die with the thumb of the right hand.
When the. flaps have been tightly folded
about the rod, fasten the clasp. Then,
still holding the handle Of the umbrella
in the right hand, clasp the left hand
tightly about the ferule and twist it
around the folded umbrella, with each
twist bringing the left hand nearer tho
right. When the left hand reaches tho
clasp, hold it still, and with the other
hand pull the end of each flap until it
becomes smooth. Repeat the twisting
and pulling process until tho umbrella
is wrapped tightly and neatly. 1t may
at first take some time to give neat
appearance to the umbrella, but in this
as all else practice makes perfect, {"
and before long it becomes easy. UNI

Dolls Brought Happiness to tho Dying.

Margaret Bottomo in "Heart to Heart
Talks" in Tho Ladies' Homo journal ro-
latcs this pathetic incident Of her minis
trations to tho sick: Just before left
for Europe last summer great box came
to me filled with dolls, all dressed, and
she request came with it that I should
have thom sent to children's hospital.
Thero is n hospital in the city of New York
for oonsumptivo children, as we'll rs for
older people with tho Same disease, and
gave tho dolls to physician who is con-
nocted with that hospital. He said after
ward ho wished could have seon the chill
dron trooping toward him, cach carrying
doll. But tho most touching thing to-
mo was what tho nurse told the doctor
that after every child was furnished with
q doll there were number loft, and the
poor women dying with consumption asked
IL each might have n doll. They all want
ed them, and to each the dolls wero given,
and the nurse said she could not have
dreamed of their boing such comfort to
those poor sick women. There wore Just
enough dolls for each to have one. Ah
who can tell the thoughts they had of
earlier days, when they took little wee
ono close to their heart, as they now took
those little dolls!''

SUGGESTIONS FOR MUSICIANS.
Littlo NIattcrs That Mako Mar a nIu-
sical Performance.

stcal Performance.
While Mt the piano avoid all unneces-
sary movements. Do not sit with your
back to the keyboard ut any time, and if
possible do not turn your back to your
auditors while playing. See that your
music is i'll order upon the rack before
beginning to play. 1t is better not to
roll sheet music for carrying, but place
it between the lids of a folio.
When one is asked to play or sing, if
he intends to comply, it is better tasto
to proceed at once without hesitation,
excuse or preamble Afterward do not
remain ut the instrument for further in
vitation. If the desire for more of your
music is sincerely expressed, you will be
able to perceive its commences and if
possible respond.
1t is courteous for q gentleman to { Z
fer to turn the leaves of music for n
lady while she is playing. but to do Il is
well without hindering rather than help
ing the performer requires no little taEt
and ease of manner. One should be
quite sure that he can follow the music
SO as to turn at the right instant and
without displacing the leaves and en-
barrassing the player.
Duet playing is very profitable and
entertaining practice, but many persons
are not successful in the role of accom-
PIANIST. A dispute often arises over the
selection of the parts, primo or secondo,
first or second piano. In duet playing
one needs to exercise much patience and
forbearance and not be disposed to criti-
else or dictate to the other.
Criticism Of another's performance is
sometimes beneficial to both the critic
and the criticised, but one should be
sure that he is thoroughly we'll qualified
to fill the role of critic and to handle
his subject with success, and then it
should be done in q kindly spirit, with
the sincere intent of benefiting rather
than injuring.

THE MAKING OF SOUPS.
How to Mako Soup Stock Which May Bo
Used In Various Ways.

Used In Various Ways.
First comes the making of the stock.
When the roast has passed through all
its stages for the table, the bones are
broken up, to which are added any
scraps that may have accumulated, and
any chicken or turkey feet may also be
added, prepared in tho following man
'ner: Scald by pouring boiling water
over them let them stand q moment,
then pull off the outer skin by turning
it over just as glove is turned inside
out. The skin comes off readily. leaving
the legs and feet beautifully white.
These are u great addition to any soup
stock. Cover these odds and ends with
cold water and set the kettle upon the
front Of the stove until it reaches the
boiling point; then move back to where
it will just simmer. If allowed to boil
hard, the soup will be muddy. Cook
until thoroughly done, then take from
the fire and skim out the bones-the
meat adhering to these will make nice
hash-and set away to cool. Next morn
ing skim off the fat and strain through
sieve. If not perfectly clear, put a
piece Of cheesecloth in the sieve and run
it through again.
Now the stock is ready to be used in
various ways, according to the quantity
and quality. If 1t is from lamb, chicken
or turkey, it will simply need to be
warmed up and seasoned with salt and
pepper if desired. Chicken and turkey
stock is improved by celery flavor,
which can be given by pieces of celery,
or if these are not Mt hand sprinkling
of celery salt Macaroni or vermicelli
broken in small pieces is also an i'm
provement. Lamb stock is very nice
simply seasoned with salt and thickened
by little rice. Beef stock needs more
attention to make it palatable.
Some vegetable flavor adds very APP
petizing SAVIOR. and this is easiest OBJ
tanned by keeping package of dried
soup vegetables in the pantry. These
vegetables are pat up by both French
and German firms and are equally good.
The price is about 80 cents for good
sized package, and as this will last
small family considerably over year
the expense is trifling. About tea
spoonful Of these dried vegetables will
greatly improve the flavor of fiat
stock, but if after I'LL these efforts :no
soup still lacks something weakness is
probably the cause, and teaspoonful or
SO of some beef extract will doubtless
bring it to the desired point. A jar of
some standard extract may be kept in
the refrigerator for such emergencies.
Soup are Of course also made from the
liquor in which any fresh meat or fowl
has been boiled, which is prepared in
the same manner.
There is nothing like judicious tast-
ing in soupmaking. By care in the sea-
soning almost any stock may be mado
appetizing. An inexperienced servant
can be taught to do all the preliminary
work, but i'll order to have soups always
tempting SEQ to the seasoning yourself,
for therein lies the very root of the mat
ter. But suppose the stock to be quite
insufficient for soup. Then use it as
the foundation of tomato soup. One
can Of tomatoes to pint Of soup stock
is the usual rule, according to Good
Housekeeping. from which the foregoing
is CLEANED.
