SOME KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS.

love acheerful Kitchen,
With fire burning bright,
The cook-stove nicely polished,
The floor scrubbed clean and white;
What room is half so pleasant,
So inviting and so free
AS this delightful kitchen?
TITS just the room for me.
Cold cooked vegetables and the
like must be covered If not kept in a
wired cupboard.
Butter and mayOnnaise should be
freely used by delicate children and
consumptives.
Canned fruits and vegetables
should be removed from the cans as
soon as they are opened.
Sugar, rice, hominy, farina, oat-
meal, and the like are best kept in
bags or boxes in cool, dry, closet.
Dried fruits are best kept in bags
and hung on a dry wall, but they
may also be well preserved, if
properly dried, in boxes.
When cream is extremely rich it
can be whipped more easily il a lit
tie milk is added to IL. 1t will also
whip more easily if it is we'll chilled.
Itis we'll to know that if salt fish
is wanted quickly the flesh is

The yolks of eggs dry almost as
soon as they come In contact with
the air, but If dropped at once into a
cup of cool water will keep in good
condition in the refrigerator fol-
three or four days.
One way to brew tea for the five
o'clock cup is to pulverize the
leaves, mOisten them with cold
water and let them stand twenty
minutes, then add sufficient
amount of boiling water and steep
one minute.
Washing Wooden Dress Goods.
Flannel, cashmere or almost any
all-wool dress goods that are to b,
made over, may be washed without
shrinking or fading, If handled
properly. The method is so simple
and inexpensive, and the results Sc
satisfactory, that you will be sure tC
abandon all others after giving it a
trial.
Take the garment apart, anC
brush it until the dust and lint are
removed. Use soft water, and hea
it until it is little warmer thar
new milk. Dissolve enough ivory
soap in it to make strong suds
and wash the cashmere or flannel il
) it, Just as you would wash anything
else. Two waters will be necessary
if the goods is very dirty. Thel
rinse in water heated the same tenn
) perature as the first, and hang i
out TO dry. Cover it with a damn
cloth when you iron it, and you will
be surprised to see how fresh ant
new it looks. The secret lies II
using good soap and having thu
washing and rinsing waters th'
same temperature. Do the work al
quickly as possible, never allowing
, the goods to remain in the waite
longer than necessary.

Marriage and the Home.

see unrest, discomfort, strife and
sin; L see girls from whose cheeks
the first blush of innocence, from
whose soul the last vestige of youth,
have vanished; women sold to
frivolity, women wasting most
precious gifts, women whose ambi-
tion has no higher object than to
mislead and triumph over men, and
men growing hard, selfish, and
wicked, going down to death with no
hand 20 save--all for the lack of a
true home!
Then remember that the house
is the true kingdom of woman,
where her rights can never be de-
throned; that all pure love, all right
thoughts, all religion, If you would
have them live, must have their
roots beneath its altar. This con-
viction impels me to say to every
woman who has home: "Let
home stand first before other things.
No matter how high your ambition
may transcend its duties, no matter
how far your talents or your intiu-
ence may reach beyond its doors,
before everything else, build up a
true home. Be not its slave; be not
its minister. Let 1t not be enough
that 1t is swept and garnished, that
its silver glistens, that its food is de-
liclous. Feed the love in it, feed
the truth in it, feed thought and as
piration, feed all charity and gentle
ness in it. Then from its walls shall
come forth the true woman and the
true man, who, together shall rule
and bless the land, Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher.

How to Lace a Corset.

Whether corsets are worn loose
or tight they should be laced with
three separate lacings unless they
are made to order.
The first lacing should be put into
the top in the usual way on each
side as far as the two eyelet holes at
the waist which are placed nearer
together.
Now with another lacing, com
mence at the bottom and lace up
ward, leaving two eyelet holes
below the two at the waist.
Then put the third lacing in these
eyeholes, four on each side. Fasten
the corset around you, and draw the
separate lacings to fit the bust, hips,
and waist.
1t is the French method of lacing
the corset, and it will ensure a
much better fit than the one lacing
can possibly give. lo
The elastic lacing should be used
as it gives more freedom to the
muscles,

Fashion In Brief.

Large lace ties are in vogue, both
on day and evening toilets, and
these are extremely becoming to
women of every age and type.
Yokes and guimpes of every shape,
color and fabric are in fashion. Be-
sides being very dressy addition to
the toilet, they are most useful in

Rose -colored silk or satin waists
are ve"y fashionably worn this
winter with skirts of black velvet,
brocade or satin, and occasionally
they are seen with skirts of dark
green corded silk. These waists are,
as a rule, very much trimmed with
handsome lace, but the garniture is
often of velvet matching the skirt,
with the rich addition of fur bands
and beaded passementerie.

The Innings of all dressy gowns

A Bit of wisdom.

1t is not what people gain, but
what they save that makes them
rich. 1t is not what they read, but
what they remember that makes
them learned. 1t is not what they
confess but what they practice that
makes them righteous.

bodices would go out, but this box

to appeal to fashion. New dress
skirts bid fair to rival the bodice in
excess of elaboration, and the de-

tire which not long ago was so
marked has now almost entirely
vanished-tailor gowns and silk

copied.

little May,
In dress most comical. Her long

With dignity she said: "I've come to

My frowning seriousness was gone; I

"And now, dear Mrs.-who"" "Mrs.

answered quickly as the small maid
whispered, "Who?"
SO, yes, of course" she said "and now

Your own sweet children are; I've

So
Styles in Sleeves
"Sleeves?n echoed the fashionable
modiste, when the momentous ques-
ton was put to her by lone who
wanted to know" Eyes, sleeves,
will be small, very small. All the
London gowns have fiat sleeves.
Those from Paris still show bit of
fussiness at the top.
1.-THE London cloth gowns have a
coat sleeve that is rounded and full
ed but a trifle at the armhole. At
the wrist there is a flaring cuff or a
pleated silk frill. There is ten
dency to trim the wrist quite as pro-
nounced as there is to untrim the
top"
A new gown worn by st. Louis
woman recently to an afternoon
function, / noticed, had sleeves
guiltless of any fullness save the
few gathers that were necessary to
fit it properly at the shoulder. This
style was vastly becoming to the
plump little woman who wore it,
and after all, L believe the woman
who has slender arms will favor the
Partisan sleeve with its slight top
trimming.
Flat sleeves tend to make the
shoulders appear narrow, conse.

new gowns are trifle longer, though
