So the search ended, and nothing
had been accomplished by it.
ct don't understand about Dick
Brayton's tryin' to lie ont O. bein' off
summers that night" said Bill Green
to his particular cronies. 'T'm a-goin
to look inter the matter leetle.
Nlebbe it's all right, but what puzzles
me is, why sh'd he try to deny it when
he knows I see him."
OF course, this hint of Bills that
there was something wrong was a sub
iect of frequent conversation among
his friends after that, and it was but o
short time before Dick was under a
suspicion which was to culminate il I"
charge OF villainy against him.

sented in the stylish basque, depicted
in the large illustration and described
by May Manton. The loose portion
of the bodice made of the taffeta and
trimmed with lines of bebe rib
bon that hold to position the rufies
of cream-white lace. The foundation
consists of a glove-ftted body lining
that is adjusted by the usual number
of seams and double bustdarts, and
closes invisibly at the centre-front.
The sull-fronts are gathered at the
neck and at the waist, and may close
invisibly at the centre front, as illus
trated, or on the left shoulder, arms
eye and under-arm seam. A distinct
i've feature of this design is the dressy
little bolero which is included in the
shoulder anu under-arm seams and
has the free edges decorated with rib
bon in two widths. Smooth under
arm cores separate the fronts from
the back, which shows two pleats on
each side of the centre-back, extend
ing from the shoulders to the waist,
where they are brought closely to-
gether.
The waist is encircled by q wide
black satin girdle that is deepest at
the centre-front, where three chic
bows form the finish. The collar con-
sists of a plain, close band, overland
with a stock of satin, surmounted by
full ruche OF lace. The mousquetaire
sleeves are mounted upon two-seamed
Innings and are decorated at the
wrists with a deep frill Of lace and
bands of bebe ribbon. The mode can
be developed in all seasonable fabrics,
and may be composed of two or even
three materials, as combinations are
the order of the day.
To make this basque for woman of
medium size will require three yards
of forty-four-inch material, OF two
and one-half yards, with fve-eighths
of yard of contrasting material for
the full front.

The New Headgear.

Much of the new elaborate headgear
is large in size, the hats tilted well to
one side over the ear, the other side
rolled high or arched in an upward di-
rection. This model can be worn by
a young and beautiful girl with an
abundance OF wavy hair, but there are
others who have elected for the style,
and as one beholds the courageous
wearer one is moved to look the other
way. Above a solemn-visaged face,
where time has left it's sad, unmistaka-
BILE impress, tip-tilted hat laden with
flowers, laces and feathers is not at
tractive, and the wearer thereof fur
nishes only food for reflection to the
general observer, and inspiration and
delight for the artist of the funny
newspaper, seeking whom he may
caricature.

Recipes.

Grated Apples-Grate four tart, ripe
apples, sprinkling powdered sugar
over as you CRATE, so the pulp will not
turn dark. Serve in cups OF small
glasses with a spoonful of sweetened
whipped cream on top.
Vegetable Salad-Small tomato cups
in centre on lettuce leaves, cucumber
slices overlapping, small radishes with
peeling curled, border of celery leaves.
A few nasturtium branches thrown
over. Cream or French dressing in
pitcher.
Stuffed T Tomatoes-Prepare tomatoes
as for soups" except more of the pulp
may be taken out. Prepare a filling
of fine bread crumbs, seasoned with
butter, pepper, salt, bit Of onion, #
liked, and the pulp of tomato. Mix,
and fill the shells. Bake on buttered
pan. Serve hot. g
Fried Squirrel-If the squirrels are
not young they should be steamed till
they are quite tender. Cut two squir.
rels into four pieces each. Rub each
piece with a quarter-saltspoonful OF
salt and half as much pepper; roll in
egg, then in bread crumbs, and fry in
hot fat. Squirrels can be cooked in
any way that chicken can, and they
are always fine eating.
Stewed Sweet Potatoes-Cut five
medium sized sweet potatoes in half,
lengthwise; put them in a granite
kettle, with cupful Of water, @ table
spoonful of butter, a saltspoonful of
salt and half as much pepper. Cover
closely and let boil. By the time the
potatoes are done the water should be
evaporated. Let them brown slightly
in the butter and serve.
Creamed Turnips-The fiat white
turnips, when we'll grown, are an ez-
cellent vegetable. Peel, slice, lay in
water half IN hour, then cook quickly
until tender in salted water. Drain,
press out the water, mash fine with
potato masher; then with a spoon
press out all the Jumps, add butter
and quarter cup cream or rich milk.
Stir all the time, cook minute, and
take up in hot dish. Serve.
Peach Marmalade-Wash peaches
before peeling to can, stew the skins
and press through colander. Pre-
pare apple juice by stewing medium
tart fruit, cored, and cooked slowly in
water to cover. Very ripe or soft
peaches, and stewed apples added to
the peach that was strained, cooked III
this juice with sugar and spices to
suit taste, will make excellent MARINA
Iade. Cook slowly some hours.
Succotash-Boil one teacupful Lima
Deans in a small quantity of water till
they are almost done, which will re-
auire about thirty-fve minutes, if they
are perfectly fresh, otherwise they may
take an hour anl q half; then add two
teacups of corn, which has been sliced
from the cob so that each kernel will
be cut twice and the remainder
scraped ont; add also half-tcaspoon-
full of salt and dash of pepper. Let
the corn and beans boil for ten min
utes, stirring frequently to keep from
burning, then add tablespoonful
butter and q small cupful of hot cream.
Let boil and serve.

The Trotting Sire of the Year.

The great race horse Allerton, 2.O93,
leads all sires of new standard per-
formers for the year, and it is likely
that he will continue to hold that posi-.
tion to the end of the season. Last
season Allerton was the leading sire,
and if he again finishes in that position
this season he will be the only horse
to have the honor of leading for two
wears in succession. Allerton's list OF
new performers now contains ten
names, as follows: Intact three years.,
2.191; Frances Jane three years.,
2.22i; Donna Allerton, 2.22; Galva,
2.25s; Imerino three years., 2.27; Al
lertine three years., 2.274; Matt Al
lerton three years., 2.2S; Hodges,
2.2S.; Aida. 2.2s!; Alberto, 2.2s. Red
Wilkes stands next to Allerton with
seven new performers, while Patron
and Pilot Medium come next with five
new ones each.-Trotter and PAGER.

An Odd Corner in Farmers House.

In the late Baron de Hirsch's fa-
nous white drawing room in his house
in Paris, there is a corner which the
decorators and artists have never
touched with their brushes. The wall
and ceiling ore as bare as when the
plasterers left them. This peculiar
feature of a beautiful apartment is In
commemoration of the forty years
wandering in the wilderness and OF
the fact that "there is no abiding
CITY," It is said that some part OF
the houses of all good Jews is left
incomplete, as constant reminder OF
this Biblical saying. In Baron Roth
schild's house in Picadilly the same
custom has been observed and part
of the gilded ceiling in the ball room
is unfinished. An American, with
the inquisitiveness of the typical
Yankee, once asked Baron de Hirsch
his reason for leaving corner OF his
drawing-room unfinished. The Baron
is said to have replied, with the ut
most gravity, that the money gave
out before the decorations could be
completed.

seams, with an under-arm dart that
renders the garment close fitting at
the back, with ripping fulness below
the waist line. The fronts are loose
fitting, and show gathers at each side
of the centre-front, where the closing
is effected with buttons and button
holes. The neck is completed by a
neat rolling collar. Tie strings of pale
blue taffeta ribbon are inserted in the
under-arm seams and are carried for
ward to the centre of the waist, where
they are stylishly bowed, and serve to
confne the fulness at this point. The
sleeves are two-seamed and gathered
as the top, while the wrists are neatly
decorated with lace and insertion.

woolen textures are appropriate for

Dieting the Sick.

To provide sick person with nutri-
tious food of proper quality and quan-
tity is one of the most important re-
,quirements of nursing. Not all cases
of sickness call for the observance Of
asepsis and antisepsis; medicines may
be used sparingly or not at all, and the
principles of hygiene may be 80 we'll
known by the household that the
nurse is relieved from care on that
score; but the problem of diet is ever
present. What may the patient eat is
q question that constantly presents it
self to the nurse. ..
It is we'll known that drugs cannot
take the place of food. They only
rally vital forces for time. or else, by
modifying circulation, restrain the
consumption of materials previously
supplied by food. Generally they act
either as whip or q check, and soon
become useless when the function of
nutrition is disregarded.
Not only is the feeding of the sick
an important matter because of its re-
lation to vital processes, but it is a
difficult one. The skill and knowledge
requisite for scientific feeding cannot
be gained in day, and from what we
have seen and heard of the various
training schools for nurses this branch
of instruction does not in oil cases re-
ceive the attention which its import
ance merits. Many physicians, too,
feel lack of knowledge in this mat
ter, and happy indeed is he who finds
trained nurse capable of formulating
the patients menu. Many of our
larger hospitals now have diet kitch-
ems, and 1T would be well indeed if
every training school in the land had
well-equipped laboratory for the
study of foods and their preparation.
The nurse who has had the good
fortune, industry and application to
become proficient in the science of
feeding the sick will have no occasion
to complain of lack Of cases; for, no
matter how much we may theorize
on the relation of the public, the
physicians and the nurses, it is the
personal proficiency that must count
with trained nurses as we'll as with
doctors.

Although minute diamonds can be
male with the aid of the electric fur
mace, none large enough to be en-
ployed in iewelry have yet been pro-
duced. But rubies of large size, and
as fine in color and appearance as the
best natural gems, have been made.
4 certain method of detecting arti-
fetal ruhies is by examination with II
microscope. The natural gem is al
ways filed with minute cracks invis-
ible to the naked eye, but perfectly
discernable with q high magnifying
power. The artificial ruby has no
cracks, but, on the other hand, is filled
with minute bubbles or gas holes.

Children in the Kitchen.

Mothers do not sufficiently respect
the kitchen rights of their servants, in
many households. They allow the
children to worry the cook, to carry
off domestic implements for play, to
"muss around" and get the kitchen
into disorder, and even to intrude at
the rare times when the servant is
privileged to receive her friends. This
is all wrong, but some shortsighted
mistresses will part with a good cook
sooner than restrict their children's
liberty in this respect. There ought
to be a golden mean, for the good Of
all parties.

Best Cement for China.

It is said that one of the best-known
cements for mending fine china is the
white oil paint sold in tubes. Squeeze
the paint out and mend the articles as
soon as possible after they are broken.
Paint the edges of the break with the
white oil paint and press them secure
ly together. Put the article carefully
away to dry for at least six weeks,
when it is said that neither moisture,
heat nor cold will affect the cement.
Carefully scrape off all excess of paint.
