few years ago when 30 many cases resulted
in pneumonia, it was observed that the at
tack was never followed by that disease
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency of

Homeiy DaiRties.

i,
When We think of homely dainties some
of us turn with pleasant recollection to the
sugaring off Of our childhood and youth
Maple syrup has woodland favor of its
own far surprising in subtle deiicacy those
more pronounced suggestions OF taste
which please the palates of epicures
In the days when we liked maple syrup
We were young and strong, and full of joy
simply in being alive. There was the ex-
element of tapping the trees; Of seeing
the syrup fall into the troughs: of boiling
II to just the right point; of eating it while
still 1t was soft and cooling it, perhaps, in
the snow that lay around on the hillside.
Maple syrup and buckwheat cakes are per-
haps not considered dainties to be Included
IN the menu OF gourmand, but who that
was ever farmers boy in New England
has forgotten the relish he once hau for
that substantial fare?
Another homely dainty beloved of all
children is mOlaSSeS candy. and a candy
pull is fete sure to give pleasure to all
unspoiied small people. IT requires a GER
tain amount of skill to twist and pull the
adhesive mass until IT becomes soft and
flexible, but there IS end of fun to be
had while the work is doing and the pleas
ure of eating is not one to be ignored
Other homely dainties the crisp gin
ger snaps rolled out to a fine paste and cut
into perfectly round shapes The puffy
crullers, thrown into boiling fat and dra wn
out at the precise moment when they are
crisp and brown, spriukied with sugar, and
served to a hungry household, are a dainty
not to be despised.
Another homeiy dainty worth making is
a sandwich e very thin brown bread with
cream and finished with lettuce leaf.
The bread should be very thin, the leaf
should be crisp, and there should be deli
cate soupcon of mustard to add piQuancy
to the flavor. These small sandwiches are
liked for afternoon tea.

short trim length women have SO long en-
joyed, and which is appropriately called,

aHords an opportunity for the cynical OBJ
server of feminine ways to enjoy the re-

Nothing Is more conducive to the proper
appearance of these long skirts, as we'll as
their continued usefulness, than the correct
handling of their over length, to keep them
clear from the sidewalk, and yet not to
offend by overeXposure
Some women grab their skirts short dis
lance below the waist lift them carelessly
ana continue their way; careless of what
others may think of or suffer from their
appearance. Others catch the skirt a one
side, Obvious of the fact that the back and
other side are dragging disastrously. Some
again are contented to lift the skirt only
when particularly dirty spot calls for ac-
ton, and for the most part let their skirts
dfag ana carry away an accumulation Of
refuse Tor an added item to their tailors'
bills. a. y ..,.

Diamond drops hang from pearl tears:

The turquoise has another sphere for it's

The opal is another unlucky stone though

The turquoise is uninteresting stone
