of weddings and l.Gies. I nave not seen
it-she a not told me one word about
1t, but / am sure it win be dainty and in
good taste.
The young man she will wed belongs in
the same station of society as herseS,
though wealth has taken him a step thar
the world and, alas his sisters hin
higher.
There is no lack OF social - attention
shown the little bride-to-be by her fu-
ture husbands family, but there IS a
woeful lack of real interest and affec-
ton. AL
While the slender fingers of the girl,
for ~economy's sake, ale fashioning all
the dainty white pieces that are to be In
Guided in her trousseau, many a little
sigh, the cause of which is only half de-
fined to herself, escapes her lips. 1t is a
pity that even the finest bit of a shadow
should Ginger over these, the brightest
days of her life; but it does. Nobody
knows anything about It but herself-not
even the devoted man she is to marry.
But men are so blind 20 these things.
They cannot understand tina it takes
more than a round of dinners, teas and
theatre parties to make the engaged girl
feel perfectly at home with the family
she is soon to become a member of. He
never stops to hin that social pride may
dictate these things more often than the
heart.
But the r.ttle engaged girl has made
me promise Lot to tell that she is not
altogether happy for 81 would not have
Jack know how 1 feel for the world. OF
course, he cannot help it. He adores his
mother and sisters l always want him

A writer in the April Ladies' Home
Journal Interestingly tells of 1.-THE
Daughter of Jenny Lind''-Mrs. Raymond
Maude-of her home life and her children
two sons and a daughter. These grand
children of the famous Swedish Night
ingale'' are bright ard interesting. 1.-THE
boys are fine, healthy, splendid-looklng
fellows of whom any mother might well
be proud. Victor, tine eldest, who is the
godson of the Princess Christian, is al
most a young man, and Charlie. the
youngest of the Maude children, is in his
early teens. Between the two comes
Gwendolin Lind. the only one of the fam
lily bearing the grandmother's name. All
the children ave a great taste for music,
which is scarcely surprising, but it is
in Charlie that it is specially developed.
He plays brilliantly, n has, moreover,
a beautiful voice. There is, of course,
the fear that his voice may lose it's
beauty when it breaks, but if it does not
his mother intends hat he shall enter
| the musical profession, so that there may
yet be a worthy successor to Jenny Linz
from among her descendants. Mrs.
| Maude is devoted to her children, but it
is between her and her daughter that a
specially close affection exists. They
have been almost inseparable ever since
her earliest childhood"
So
When there is too much water in the
atmosphere those who breathe it are, to
a certain extent, deprived of their due
| supply of oxygen, and the beginning of
suffocation is perceived in their chests.
Most middle-aged and all old persons
and those with weak hearts or impaired
lungs have experienced this. The air of
bedrooms is exceedingly liable to be over
| charged with watery vapor, the most OBJ

are never warmed with fires, and that
their windows are often left open until
dusk, and sometimes ever to the hour
of going to bed.
A delicate or an aged person leaves,
say, at 1870, a sitting-room in which the
temperature was 6S degrees, and enters
a cold, damp bedroom with a tempera-
ture of say IS degrees.
The air in the sitting-room was dry.
perhaps a little too dry. The air in the
bedroom is loaded with cold, watery va
por. So soon as the person enters the
| bedroom he chokes and gasps and coughs
for half an hour at least, and sometimes
| brings on such an attack of asthma, or,
as he calls it, 'stuffiness'' of the chest,
that he can hardly breathe at all.
He may even lose his nights sleep, and
be i'll for some days after such an ex-
posture. Common sense says, Make an
effort to bring the atmosphere of the
bedroom nearer in point both of dryness
and of warmth to the atmosphere of the
sitting-room, and then the occupant will
neither gasp, nor choke, nor cough, but
will go to sleep with ease and comfort
during Lent the use OF LSQ as an ar
ticle of diet becomes general, and apart
from ecclesiastical reasons the fish mar
ket will be sought by the houseKeeper.
II setting the table for breakfast, when
fish will be a principal dish, do not forget
to place a bone-plate at each plate, or at
least one to every two covers at the table.
The one plate is shaped like a quarter
circle, so it can be pushed up close to
one's plate and so receive the fsh-bones,
fragments of Drowned skin and any kind
Of debris from the fish. It is almost in
d~ispensable in eating shad, for not every
cook has learned the secret of lifting out
the entire vertebral column of a fish be-
fore cooking it. Of course, after the shad
is boiled it would spoil the appearance to
lift out the bones.
It is much easier to cut a shad in por-
lions for serving if there is no bony
column to be served. The process OF
cutting the fish into transverse sections
is sure to fracture the bones and increase
the number of sharp splinters to be
taken into the mouth with ones fish.
This is an important consideration, and
one that should make the mistress in
sist that the cook shall properly bone
large fishes Intended for boiling. When
there are children at the table it is even
more important that the bones should
be removed before serving. If 1t is not
