The plaid stocking is this year 81
smart that the travelling girl wears 1t
without fail. She chooses, if she can
afford it, the sandal stocking, which has
the appearance of a white ribbon twist
ed around the foot and ankle like Il Ro-
man sandal of old. 1t continues from
the toe to the top and is quite the most
remarkable stocking Of the season.
Small flowers of delicate design are
scattered over the groundwork of the
stocking proper.
The other popular type of stocking is
much less expensive than the sandal
stocking, which is IL novelty. 1t is Il
double plaid in red, green, blue, yellow,
black and white.

Remember In Cooking Vegetable

That most vegetables should be put
on to cook in freshly boiling water.
That salt should be added when they
are about two-thirds done.
That lying in very cold water for an
hour or more will partially restore to
wiltod vegetables quality and freshness.
That every green vegetable should be
cooked rapidly and uncovered to retain
it's color.
That if the water is very hard a tiny
bit of soda not larger than a pea added
will make the vegetables cooked in it
tenderer and of better color. Ordinary
water does not require such addition.
That when soft water is used the salt
must be in from the first to prevent
loss of flavor and substance.
That cooking II vegetable after it is
done toughens, darkcns it and d~ctracts
from its flavor.
That the best dressing for vegetables
ut their perfection is butter, pepper and
salt-cauliflower and perhaps asparagus
excepted.
That older or stnlcr vegetables are
improved by u cream OF drawn butter
sauce, the basis for the latter the re-
duced liquor left when tho cooking is
finished. Ella Morris Kretschmar in

A prominent Episcopal bishop lately

that ''to the vote of every criminal MAJ

womeu.s Work In Time Of War,

Hospital and sanitary work will give
employment to but an infinitesimal frac-
ton of the patriotic American women.
What shall the great majority of us do
to help our country?
What if each of us should resolve to
keep the shadow of the wal as far as
ma be Jul Of our minds and houses and
hearts?
Why?
Because, for n reason, We women
are more intemperatc haters than men.
Those of US who were old enough dur
ing the civil war to understand its ef-
fects upon the social life of the nation
will remember that one Of its worst re-
suits was the dull misery of our home
life in the north and south. And this
was due not so much to poverty nor to
anxiety nor even to grief for the dead
as to the bitterness with which the
women took up the quarrel. Tho home
staying wife and mother i'll Vermont or
Georgia regarded her foes as monsters
and hated them accordingly. The non
combatant is always more vindictive
than the man in the fight. The Yanks

eddy to each other across the picket line
and managed many II time to exchange
tobacco and news and jokes. When
young Winthrop made his last charge,
u cheer Of admiration broke from the
ranks Of the C~onfederates, and Grant
himself acknowledged Lees distinction
as q great soldier.
But the women at homo found no re.
deeming quality in their enemies. En-
element and suspense, long continued,
told on their nerves. They saw no hope
for tomorrow nor pleasure i'll today and
resigned themselves to II permanent con-
dition of misery and belligcrcncy with
a zeal which they felt did their country
honor. Men who wore the blue and gray
can meet nov with hearty good fellow
ship. 1t is among the women of the
north and south-especially women Of
isolated, uneventful lives-that the old
hate and distrust still lingcr and like
snakes left from the drained swamps iii
the fair meadow occasionally thrust up
their ugly heads to sting and poison.
Another war is upon us now. The
cause, let US agree, is holy and right
eous. Let us send our medicines and
money and prayers, hang out the flag
and sing 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
but keep tho temper and venom of the
war out of our own lives. -Rcbecca

The very stone of the cornerstone, in
these days of fine feathers, is the lining
of every gown. The absolute predomi-
nance OF the transparent goods has
brought about this state of affairs, and
a dressmaker can render glorious or
completely disfigure a costume merely
by the color of the silk foundation on
which she lays it.
For example, a gray wolfe must be
upholstered Oh a rose colored tatfeta; a
meadow green canvas requires n corn-
flower blue basis III order to acquire the
purple luster SO sought after; contrari-
wise, a Yale blue bunting calls for Il
clear lettuce green underskirt, and a
pearl gray petticoat usually goes under
any goods of a purple tone. Black wool
grenadines, voiles and such like are cast
over with silk, else an undermining of
white silk, crossbarred with black, is
employed. This last device is remark
ably effective. and no mathematician has
yet been found expert enough to count
the number of black and white hats as
well as gowns that are this moment in
active wear.
To tell the truth, about once in every
two years black and white becomes Il
positive obsession with the fashionable
women. 1t is IL of the only striking
contrasts which every one of Ewes
daughters can wear with satisfaction to
herself and her fellow man and oman
Strong and steady all season has been
the market in black and white hats. and
the most modish thing Il oma can do
just now is to wear white lose into
which black lace clocks or front panels
have been set. These are for evening
wear, while the top notch of smartness
is reached i'll the white hose finely strip.

VISITATION FROM A GHOST
Story Going Around That John
son Forge Works Are Now
Haunted.
THE WATCHMAN'S EXPERIENCE
Light In His Lantern is Extinguished
and He Grappled With an I'm
seen Force That Propelled
Him in Different
Directions.

Up until few days ago William
Jones, night watchman at the johnson
Forge Works in South Wilmington, die
not believe in ghosts or anything per
tanning to the supernatural.
His experiences of the past thret
nights, however, have changed his ideas
on that matter, and now he is a firm be
lever in ghostly visitations.
| Ths story for Mr.. Jones' belief il
rather gruesome and was related by
Michael Jones, a member of the Liberty
Fire Company last evening.
| He states that while Mr.. Jones was
making his usual rounds about 1.3(
o'clock on Tuesday morning, his lamp
| which had been burning brightly uI
until tile time he reached a certain sec.
tion Of the building, was suddenly ex.
tinguished.
He traced his steps as well as possible
in the darkness, relighted his lamp and
made the round Of the building without
further .mishap.
On Wednesday morning at the same
time and place the lamp Of Mr.. Jones
was again extinguished. He, it is said,
had gone prepared for the occasion and
reaching in his pocket for a match, he
ignited it, when he found himself in the
clutch of some one and during the strug-
gle that ensued the match went out.
Propelled by some unseen force he
eventually reached the starting point of
his round and the next morning, it is
said, related his strange experience to a
member of the firm.
Mr.. Jones was then made aware of the
fact that four years ago man
named Peace had been terribly injured
at the place where his light was ex-
tinguished and the party had subse-
quently committed suicide.
+ Still averse to believing in the super
natural he, Mr.. Jones decided to again
try it alone as watchman and on Thurs
day morning a similar scene was en-
acted. No air could strike the light to
put it out and now thoroughly convinced
that the place was haunted he decided to
quit the place.
Last night he was reinforced by two
additional watchmen. Isaac Bursh and
party by the name Of Donovan, but up
to the time Of going to press no vista
tions of the "ghost" as far as ascer-
tanned had been made. ,-. - -
The residents in the vicinity of the
works are exercised over Jones' ex-
perience and whilst some scoff as the
idea of supernatural visitation the ma
jority credit the story.

pointing season / haye known for nearly

ued, there is large enough demand
and large enough supply, but this ia
what we call soft weather. In cold
weather poultry is crisp and solid, but
when it is warm and foggy, like today,
the birds look poor. 1t does not affect
the meat, but they do not dress up
well, and therefore do not bring the
price,"
Turkeys yesterday were selling from
13 to 16 cents pound; ducks, 10 and
IL; geese, 10 and IL, and chickens, s
and 8.
There is an abundance of bear meat
and yenison, also wild ducks and few
wild turkeys.

sales and small Profits on account Of the
bad weather or let the goods spoil on

Bakers in the adjoining building were
cooking doughnuts, when the lard
boiled over and caught fire from the
furnace and in few moments the blaze
was reaching to the ceiling Of the bake
house, which is in the cellar of the
building.
Those at work in the cellar attempted
to quench the flames with buckets Of
water, but were not making much pro-
gress, when Dunlap rushed into the
cellar and seizing a large pan threw
it over the flames which were subdued
to some extent. Several large aprons
and bags were used and the fire was ex-
