their heads, listen and then come run

their names Brinton and Baby--and
nodded their little heads knowingly.
She then taught them to stand up on
their hind legs and put their little fore
paws together and stand in the attitude

DESPITE FASHION.

The New Woman Discards Long Skirts ON
Rainy Days.
''Good morning to you, Miss Mary
But why SO sad?'
''It is anything but good morning to
me, Mrs. Barrie. My skirt is so wet and
muddy, my ankles in like condition, my
arms ache, my skirt is heavy, and the
only rest I have is in exchanging my
skirt hand for my umbrella hand, and
vice versa 1t reminds me of the old
game of Simon. Umbrella says. Hands
up;' skirt says Hands down. l am

"Oh, do not mind heri Be sensible

nerves. A short, moderately full skirt
is not heavy, needs no cleaning around
the bottom and but little repairing. It
will save you time, strength and money,
and it always appears tidy and modest.
It is not SO with the long skirts. In
holding them up on rainy days they be-
come quite short on one side, and the
display of that mud splashed ankle is
neither modest nor tidy"
Some weeks later the ladies met again
on a rainy morning. Miss Mary came

died, but she had then, at 80 years old,
very evident remains of the vivacity
which Disraeli marked when he first
met her in 1882. Seen at distance, in
a dimly lighted room, what first struck
me about the small, dark, quick eyed
figure was the strangeness of its attire
homage, it might have been, to her
Dizzy's early tastes. What suppose
should be called the bodice Of her gown
was sort of dark crimson or bright
claret colored velvet tunic (but like
nothing else that have ever seen), 60

took for an order Of some kind fastened
upon the left breast. This unusual dec
oration was pnzzling till, on being taken
up to her, saw that it was framed

THE COOKBOOK.

To make cakes brown better and obviate
the necessity of lining the pans with paper,
sift a little flower over them after they are
well creased.
If pie crust is desired to be brown when
baked, it should be brushed over with
sweet milk just as the pie is put into the
oven for baking.
You will find that the "stufing" for q
roast goose or duck is much improved If
you add finely chopped tart apple to the
other ingredients.
When baking custard pudding or pie,
as soon as the custard becomes solid re-
move the dish from the oven, for too long
cooking will make custard watery.
1t is better to steam green cabbage,
caulifower and the like. A sprinkling Of
salt shSuld be applied to the vegetables
before they are put into the steamer.
When loayes of bread are baked in too
hot an oven and the outside crust gets too
brown, do not attempt to cut it of, but as
soon as the bread is cold rub it over with q
coarse tin CRATER and remove all the dark
brown crust.
When making gravies and sauces from
meat juices, to take of the grease draw
the pan to one side of the fire and pour
into the juice a tablespoonful Of cold wa
ter. Then the fat will rise to the top and
may be readily taken off with a spoon or
with brown paper.

NOT EASILY MOVED.

True Story Of What Was Needed to Get q
Move ON Mr.. Blank.
A pretty girl living near NNw York
is affected with large number cf would
be beaus. but has no use for any of
them. For one. in particular, Nhe had
less than no use.
He showed up one evening in 2 BIZ
cycle suit. and while he sat in the par
lor with the pretty girl the pretty girl's
little brother sewed the bicycle cap firm
" down to the corner Of the hall table
and then dumped all the oil from the
callers bicycle lamp. But Mr.. Blank
never murmured while he picked the
stitches from his cap aS he said good
night and walked the az miles home
without a complaint.
OF course the pretty girl thought that
Mr.. Blank would never show up again
and gave little brother half dozen bear
hugs as areward for bouncing him. But
ten days later Mr.. Blank appeared
again as if nothing had happened, this
time in evening sess with a silk hat.
It was an awful hot night. but little
brother was on deck just the same, and
a thin slice OF limburger cheese went
under the lining of that hat before the
evening was over.
Mr.. Blank did not depart until II 80
that evening, but nothing was ever heard
of the cheese This time the pretty girl
and little brother made bets that Mr..
Blank would never call again, but Mr..
Blank did call again and with smile
on his innocent, round face. At about
8 80 little brother strolled into the par
lor and walking up to the clock pushed
the hands around couple of hours
ahead and strolled out again silently.
Mr.. Blank went early that evening and
has not been back since. New York

Grabs and Lobsters,

In selecting crusteceans the inexperi-
enced housekeeper may be guided by Z,
few easily remembered points. Lobsters
that have not been long taken will re-
spond to pressure of the finger on their
eyes with strong motion of the claws.
The heaviest are the best. The cock lob
ster, though generally smaller, has the
higher favor, the flesh is frmer, and it's
color, when boiled, is Of deeper red
than that of similar characteristics in
the hen. The male may be known by
his narrow, rather tapering tail. and
also from the condition of the two up
permost fms which compose it. These
in his case are hard and stiff, while
those Of the hen are soft, and the tail
fan is much broader.
The heaviest crabs are the best. and
those of medium size sweetest. If
light, they are watery. When in perfect
condition. the joints Of the legs are stiff,
and the body has an agreeable smell.
The eyes. TOO, should look bright and
firmly set. When they have dead ap-
pearance and seem loose, the crab is
stale. New York Post.
