THE HOUSE AND HOME.

II happens too often that the labor saw
Ing housekseper OF today. who has been
besoughs for mfnce pies, goes ana buys
a brick of something dark. adds water -
II, and a couple of lids of pie crust, and
with II answers the family clanor for
''mince pie" The meat Is from some fac
tory, and why persons who shudder at
unwhclesome jokes about sausGges wiz
buy miscellaneous bricks OF unknown
meat is hard to guess. The fruit Is the re-
fuse of some canning factory, the very
part OF which this same housekeeper
would shudder over. 1t has been said. and
is probably true. that everything Is grist
which comes 70 these second and third
class canning ns.lls. The cores and parings
even are sent to Jelly factories, where
they are converted into a so-callei home
made jelly or boiled older. which is added
to mock the dear old name of mincs pie.
IT Is from such mysteries as these suggest
that men and women OF tender memories
pray TO be defended from during the sea-
son OF our holidays. Good recipes have
been sent from time TO time for making
good ana wholesome rnince meat. WIN
some OF our readers try making them?
Lamps, with their soft, glowing light,
still reign supreme. That Is an undisputed
fashion. but the kind OF shade to be used
IS quite a different thing. The wide.
spreading affair OF SIX or crepe paper ia
quite out OF fashion, and globes are the
things for this season. IL really seems
as though the SIZE of the lamp shade was
regulated by the size of woman's sleeves,
for two years ago. when sleeves were the
largest, the full and yolumiRous Pallet
shade was the proper style. As reefs
have been taken IN the sleeves, so has Il
been with lamp shades, until it hiss come
10 globes-smal, closs-ftaEng globes, with
10 thought Of matching the bowl of the
lamp esther. TIE delft globes are vary
pretty and look well on most every style
OF lamp.
