Bridal BOUQUETS,

Bridal bouquets may be made of five
varieties of flowers, whose popularity
is expressed by the order in which
they are named: White orchids mot
always obtainable), valley lilies, white
roses, white violets and Roman
hyacinths. The ribbon for a bridal
bouquet is always chosen as nearly as
possible to match the gown in texture
and tint, and should be six inches
wide, fall in two loops reaching half
way to the feet and two ends falling to
the hem Of the gown.-San Francisco

Rhubarb Pie.

Wash the rhubarb and cut off the
root and leaf end, but do not peel it,
unless very tough, for the pink skin
gives a fine color and flavor. If it is
a very sour variety, pour boiling
water over it and let it stand five min
utes, then drain it. Put the rhubarb,
cut into inch pieces, into a deep dish,
earthen or granite, and sprinkle over
it one level cup of sugar to each
heaped pint of rhubarb. It you like
the syrup thick, mix n level table
spoonful Of cornstarch with the
sugar. Add also one saltspoonful
salt. Cover with a rich pastry crust
and bake about half an hour.

the mothers own words. She said:
"On the 2Sth Of Sept, 1896, while in the
bloom Of health, Beatrice was suddenly
and severely afflicted with spinal menin-
gifts. Strong and vigorous before, in five
weeks she became feeble and suffered from
q paralyttc stroke which twisted her head
back to the side and made it impossible
for her to move a limb. Her speech. how
e"er. was not affected. We called in our
fAmily doctor, one of the most experienced
and successful practitioners in the city.
He considered the case a very grave one.
Before long little Beatrice was compelled
to weara plaster paris jacket. Prominent
physicians were consulted, electric bat
| teries were applied, but no benefit was no.

sBusy in my kitchen one afternoon was
startled by the cry of Mamma from little
Beatrice who wa creeping towards me. l
had placed her on an improvised bed in the
parlor comfortably close to the Preside
and given her some books and playthings.
She became tired of waiting for me to come
back and made up her mind to go to me,
so her story, My Pink Pills made me
walk which she tells everyone Who comes
to our house, was then for the first time
verified. She has walked ever since. She
has now taken about nine boxes OF the
pills and her pale and pinched face has
been growing rosy, and her limbs gained
strength day by day. She sleeps all night
long now, while before taking the pills she
could rest but a few hours alta time" DR..

He was accordingly blindfolded and
led to the block and his neck placed IN

buried it deeply in the wood, Of course

Adieu to the Psyche Knot.

The Psyche knot is no more, or,
rather, it has begun to go with the ap-
proach of the summer. With its de-
parture there is a new fashion in hair
dressing among women of prominence,
and it now looks as if practically every
woman in sets would adopt this new
mode.
The latest is to brush the hair away
from the forehead and the nape Of the
neck as much as possible and to gather
it all high up on the head. There are
two popular ways Of doing this. One
is to put the hair up on 'spufs' and
"rolls," stretching it smoothly in a
Pompadour effect. The other method
is to wave and curl in on top OF the
head in a fluffy mass, which when a
girls hair curls naturally and she has
little trouble in keeping it in order Is
exceedingly becoming.
Whichever method is adopted makes
little difference, but the new law OF
the mode is that there must be no
bunch of hair, no knot, at the back OF
the head and none also on the fore
head. A curl or two on the forehead
is allowable-one at each temple, say
and that is all.
The disappearing of the Psyche
after it's long reign will occasion a few
heartburnings, possibly, among ths
| girls who looked particularly vel
with it, but the new fashion is fa'
more becoming to most women and Il
being hailed with delight.
