AMERICA FOR BOYS.
New York Woman Gives Some Ex-
celIent Reasons for Not Educat-

moderate means, who to the astonish-
ment of her friends suddenly reap
peared in America after prolonged
residence in Europe.
"As far as / am concerned, am much
more comfortable abroad, where my
little income goes twice as far and life
is much easier. The girls, too, can ed
ucate cheaper and better on the other
side, but there is no doubt about it,

pate to a round hole when they come
home and go to work. For young men
of property who intend living Il life of
leisure it is all well enough, but for
those who have their own way to make
it is, in my opinion. fatal mistake to
educate them there. They lose the
power of assimiliating themselves, so to
speak, and, what is more, they form no
early friendships with their own coun-
trymen. So, after thinking it oyer,
made up my mind that my boys future
was worth a sacrifice, and here | am,

For Stout Women,

It has often been urged, but it seems
well to emphasize by much repetition
that women of generous proportions
hould invariably renounce all of these
round WASTED styles, no matter how
beautiful they appear on some other
slendcrer figure, or how universally the
rage for them increases. Adopting
these waists is not a matter of age,
for the young, the mature and the
elderly find them comfortable and use
full. 1t is simply matter of figure,
and for women inclined to stoutness,
there are many close, trim and attrac-
tive models which make them look bet
ter and slenderer than any of the
"round" styles, festooned with net,
draped with lace, and finished with
circling ribbon, bells and bows, which
cut off the apparent length of the waist
by two or three inches.--N. Y. Post.

IVEIN OF HUMOR
1T WAS A PICNIC.

First came a farmers wagon with
one man driving and two others lying
on the straw at full length. Then here
was a man on foot with his right Srm
in sling, second pedestrian limping
badly, and another wagon with three
men on the straw. These had passed
when bare-headed woman hove in
sight. She was walking rapidly and
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, and was followed at little dis
tance by man with double barreled
shotgun over his shoulder. He had one
hand tied up in handkerchief, and the
blood stains showed that he had been
hurt. The colonel descended the steps
of the hotsl veranda and held up his
hand to the man and said:
MY friend, there seems to have been
trouble somewhere down the road"
Eyes, a little scrimmage over at Cor
don's Grove" answered the man.
"You seem to have been hurt?"
"Yes, got shot in the hand, though it
didn't amount to much. Here you,
Mariar!'
"Marar" was the woman ahead of
him, evidently his wife, but She con-
tinued her pace without looking back.
What was it at Gordon's Grove?"
asked the colonel.
"Oh, jest Sunday school picnic. We
have one there every year, you know"
"And there was a scrimmage, as you
call it?"
"There was. Had to be one, sab.

AN EXCELLENT CAKE.
Il Is Called the Gold LOnf and Has
Few Equals AS a Dainty
Summer DeIicacy.

This is a moist, delicate cake, and is
made with sour milk, which renders it
very tender. At this season of the year,
when milk is beginning to sour easily,
it is well to have variety of ways in
which to use it. If it is left long, as
everyone knows, it will become unfit
for use, except for swill. To make this
cake mix two cups of sugar and one cup
of butter. Stir in the yolks of four
eggs, and beat well. Add a cupful of
sour milk-mill that is turned to solid
curd, with a good proportion of whey.
Milk that is just turned, or very sour
but not firm, should not be used. Stir
the mixture thoroughly. In another
cake bowl sift four cupfuls of pastry
-four dread flour will do, however) and
an even teaspoonful of soda. 1t is bet
ter for cake to sift the -four and soda
together several times. Stir the other
ingredients gradually into the flour
and soda, being careful to avoid having
Jumps in the batter. When well beaten,
add the whites of the four eggs of which
the yolks have already been used. The
whites should be beaten to very stiff
froth before they are put into the bat
ter This cake is delicious, even with
out raisins or citron. 1t makes hard
some, rich cake, however, for a birth
day party if thin slices of citron-
enough to suit the taste-and about
cupful of raisins are added. The raisins
should be washed, stoned and dipped in
flour before stirring them into the bat
ter. FIGURING them lightly prevents
sinking to the bottom of the cake. Turn
the dough into very large, round loaf
tin, or two smaller ones, well CREASED.
Bake this cake in moderate oven for
about 40 minutes, being careful not to
let it fall by carelessly opening the
oven door too wide, or jamming it in
any way. 1t is very nice when made
into small cup cakes, leaving out the
rasins and citron, of course. Ice the
little cake all over with chocolate icing
or with heavy white icing.-N. y.

Women whose circumstances allow
them to crafty their exclusive tastes
have pet patterns for their damask cov-
erings as they have favorite flowers.
Lady Randolph Churchill is as sensi-
tive to artistic napery as to good lit

over linen of the most exquisite texture

ner cloths. Another American woman
in England has succumbed to the ques-
tionable fashion of associating satins
and ribbons with culinary matters, and
considers the silken sheen of valuable
linen, woven with graceful, spreading
fern leaves in natural sizes quite
worthy her dinner service of gold and
the goblets of Venetian crystal.

Ties are extensively trimmed with
ribbons this year. a novel black satin
design was stitched in white gros grain
silk ribbon, and the effect was indeed
charming. The tongue was slipped
through silver buckle and was so deep
as to completely cover the instep.
Another pretty tie has vamp of
white suede stripped with very narrow
bands of black cloth. The laces are
of ribbon and the back of the shoe is
made of black and white striped felt.
The third design is developed in EN-

Long strings of blue silk are tied in a
full bow, and very fastidious women
have the eyelets in their shoes made of
solid gold and silver.

they kept the thing quiet until ready to
nominate. The first knew was when
that wife of mine proudly laid the
morning paper before me. The item
was of course headed; Honor to a
Wounded Vetei an and it went on to
say that had lost gallons and gallons
of blood in putting down the rebellion
and that full particulars of my gallant
record would soon be published as a
contrast to the stay-at-home record OF
the opposing candidate
