There are few dresses which are not
worn with sashes this season, and those
who do not possess one would do we'll to
make or buy one without delay
A wide satin ribbon edged all around
with narrow lace is better than none.
White dresses are decidedly popular,
/ because they admit Of sashes and scarfs
in the national coiors. and the rapidly
with which such things have been de-
signed, made and put or the market
should be a lesson to the manufacturers
of guns and ammunition. There are Re-
man sashes with fringed ends done in the
colors Of our flags.
Everyone who has had the care Of small
children has noticed how the progress or
a baby just beginning TO walk is retarded
by the putting on Of shoes, even those
with flexible kid soles. However soft the
kid may be. it cramps the tender foot,
and 1t is always some time before the
| baby adjusts itself to the new conditions
The length of time varies with different
children, some taking to the strange foot
gear readily, while others take days to
do SO.
In one case known to the writer a pre-
cocious baby who walked early positively
refused to put his foot to the ground
| with the new shoes on them. When they
were taken off he was ready to stand or
step, but when they were on he~regarded
them calmly, making no open objection,
but could not be coaxed to walk
In this dilemma baby's mother CHANGED
to see the story of a similar case in the
c.-s,.. g - ,,ooxr = q x,herl the DIFF
| hculty was solved by the use of a pair Of
moccasins such as are worn by the IN
| dams, a diminutive pair of which had
been given her by a squaw. She pur-
| chased a stout channels skin and manu-
featured a pair, guided by a pair OF
| squaw's moccasins. which were among
her souvenirs of a trip to the Pacific
coast.
The new footgear worked like a charm.
Baby accepted it with satisfaction and
| wore the moccasins until ne was old
enough to walk On the street ana DESIRED
to put on shoes like other boys After
| the first pair they were made with double
| soles. which were sufficiently thick for
outdoor wear.
The moccasins are not for sale in shoe
stores, but may be found in the infants
department in some first-class dry goods
stores. The pattern thus obtained, it is
easy to make them at home, and there
is nothing so comfortable and so satisfac-
tory by way of a first shoe.
OF course, the proverbial wedding gown
| has been white satin from time iinmem-
orial, than which nothing is p%rettier- The
new poplins are much used for this pur-
pose. and universally becoming and in
expensive. A fine quality can be had for
two dollars a yard, and is quite wide
Berege. an old time material newly
sprung into fashion. and open weave OF
silk and wool. is much used for bridal
gowns. and comes IN delicate tints as
well as white, hanging in pretty, soft
folds. 1t is made double width, costing
from s1.50 to $3.50 a yard. For a simple

Companion"
Going-away gowns are often used Tor
the wedding gown, especially for a morn
ing or high noon wedding, and are made
OF ladies' cloth or some soft wool goods
in semi-tailor made style; or they may be
strictly tailor made.
veils are usually of tulle, and reach the
edge of the dress skirt IN the back, v
ing a short face veil reaching half way
to the knees in front, which is detachable
and is removed directly after the cere-
mony. 1t is fastened with orange bios
SONS or a standing bow of narrow satin
ribbon. Shoes and gloves match the
white and tinted gown.
Every housewife should be armed with
one of the newer meat grinders. 1t need
not be large, and will probably cost under
81. With this in the house the scramble
for a tender ~porterhouse at an exorbitant
price may cease.
Very little over half of a porterhouse
steak can be eaten, what with bone and
fat. and the fabby stomach end Of the
piece it is quite half waste. This apples
almost equally well to the sirloin.
The round steak, with the aid Of the
machine, is the king juice of them all. 1t
is the j~uiciest. most nutritious meat IN
the beef, and besides it is all meat; there
is next to no waste. 1t is also much
cheaper in point of first cost.
After the steak is passed through the
grinder. it may be cooked in various
| ways maze INTO pdllleSs u1PpeA
egg. rolled in whole wheat -four and either
broiled or fried. My favorite way Is to
put it in a round graniteware pudding
dish, salt and pepper slightly, three or
four Jumps of butter on top. and after
adding a tablespoon of water, put 1T IN a
hot oven where it will cook in ten or fif-
teen minutes.
This is the only proper way to give
meat to children. With their small teeth
ard tendency TO fast eating, they cannot
properly masticate the ordinary tough
meat and generally bolt it.
If one is fond of onions and high sea-
soning, they can have the ordinary Sails
bury steak.
