HOW TO MAKE

1t Is a Secret Known to Only
a Few Cooks.

Much she knows about it,

TO KEEP OR NOT TO KEEP
What Do You Do With Your Old
LetterAe

Letterss
Everybody receives letters but everyone
does not treat them in the same way
Some tuck them out of sight and forget
all about them until they turn up at un-
expected times to be tucked away again.
Some tie them in packets with ribbons
and lay them carefully and tenderly
away. Some just let them LAY round"
till they get properly lost and others toss
them in the fire.
That's right" says one. "burn them.
They have been read and life is too short
to do the same thing again. When you
are dead and gone, someone for whose
eyes they were never meant will read
them carelessly and then light the fire
with them. 1t is better for you to dis
pose of them now
The common-sensible sides of our ma
lures tell US that this is all true, and
We decide to follow our practical friends
advice. But when We ioCX at the sheets
covered with some dear. familiar hand
writing our hearts fail u.s. One by one we
pick up the letters. and as We do so try
to see this tender epithet that loving
word. When we have gathered up
whole armful of them and start with
them toward the glowing CRATE We look
at them just once for the last time. And
then our courage breaks down and we
close our arms passionate round the
whole bundle. and the tears come to our
eyes. and we exclaim: 'They shan't be
burned, They are too dear!"
So they are returned to the box
whence they were taken-the dear letters
from lover. husband. friend. father,
mother-and the box Is sent up in the at
tic. and each year it is pushed a little
further back under the caves, and the
paper yellows. the dust settles, the om-
nipresent mouse gnaws the love words.
and other and newer letters come and
take the place of the old ones that are
forgotten by her who could not burn
them.
Still, If they were once more brought
down to the daylight, and the owner
were asked to destroy them, she would
again refuse.
Business letters and letters from mere
no sensible person is
tempted to keep. Some people are even
enough to burn every line
that is ever written them. Bue. as a
rule. a woman remembers that the time
may come when the hand that is the
dearest on earth to her will be for
ever stilled and when the Xwords penned
by that hand will be unspeakabIy dear.
SO. we end as we begin. by asking:
what shall We do with our letters?'

Golf Green.

Is the red golf coat to go the way of
all other fashions? 1t hardly seems
credible at first thought, says the
New York Herald. and yet there
are signs of 1t. for new golf coat has
appeared and it has won popularity in
a measure at a bound It has been
taken up by people who are authorities
at golf-the social end of it. at least
and whose words have some weight when
1t comes to determining matters Of
dress.
The new coat is of dark green. In cut
and general fashion it shows hardly a
change from the old. which, it has been
conceded, is well adapted to the game.
The cloth. too. is very much the same.
But the change in color is remarkable.
A year ago golf would have been thought
impossible without bright red coats. Now
the coats Of dark green are coming in
with little protest on the part of the
players. They seem to be accepted az
quite the correct thing. though the few
already in the field are somewhat stared
at.
As matter Of fact, the dark green
coat looks more In harmony with the
turf Of the links. and seems better suit
ed to the game. though 1t 4, Of course
not nearly SO picturesque.

TRANSFERRING PICTURES.
Here's = Recipe FOR ReprintinR
Them ON GlaAa.


Them on Glass.
Prints or Autographs may be trans
ferred to glass by very simple process,
says the Philadelphia Press.
The glass is cleaned with alcohol and
polisher. then coated with fine dam
mar varnish. laid on very evenly.
1t Is then put away in a place where
there is no dust. where it is to remain
until it is so sticky that when touched
with the finger the glass. IL small
pate. may be lifted by the adhesion.
The picture to be transferred must be
soaked in rainwater until 1t is COM
pletely saturated. then placed between
sheets of blotting paper and gently press
ed.
This removes all superfiuous water.
Now put the picture face down upon the
sticky side OF the glass.
The utmost care is necessary In plac.
ing 1t. as once 1t touches IL cannot be
moved without danger of tearing ont
pieces of the print
When 1t is adjusted. begin at one cor.
ner and press the picture closely upon
the adhesive surface, watching il con-
tinualiy to see that no air bubles apnear
between the picture and the vanished
surface.
When this is finished. put the picture
away again. let It remain until quite dry.
then lay wet towel over the back of
the picture until the paper is thoroughly
soaked.
Now begin at One corner. and with the
fingers. frequently dipped in water so
that they will remain wet. rub or the
white paper.
Continue this until all of the white
portion is removed. This will leave only
the color Of the picture upon the glass.
At the finish give the back a rather
heavy coat Of transparent varnish.
Let 1t dry thoroughly and add a very
thin second coat.
When this is perfectly dry. frame the
picture with very thin glass over the
varnished side. Hang In the window as
a transparency.
few attempts may pe necessary be-
fore expert handling Is acquired, but per-
severance will bring success, and with
care and little ingenuity very many
beautiful pictures may be prepared at the
most trifiing expense.

New womopism.

T.. The up-to-date matron has at last ar
ranged her husbands name in a way to
SUIT herself-until she thinks of another
way she likes better. Hyphenated hus-
bands are in the card engraving market
just now, and as there are many thous-
ands of married women in the organ
izations of the country who want, doubt
less, to put their worse halves where they
belong-on cards-the trade will boom
from now on. The scheme was present.

Denver, In convention assembled, and

was like this: That it shall hereafter

Thus John Smiths wife will write her
name from this time on-untl she chang
