Members of the 400 in New York have
recently adopted clever scheme to
keep unlimited persons from church
weddings. The card of admission has
up to this time proven no barrier to
those who were determined to see, yet
who were not invited, for they simply
utilized the card which had come in
some other invitation and trusted to
the crowd that this fact would not be
discovered.
The card CT admission enclosed now
is Of some pale tint, usually pink or
blue, that cannot be mistaken, and for
which another card could not be substi-
tuled without instant detection.
BY its means it is hoped that only
the invited friends of the bridal pair
Will gain access to the church. -Balti.

pARIsIENNE POTATOES.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into
balls with a vegetable cutter, or simply
dice them into inch cubes. Drop them
into boiling sailed water and boil for
ten minutes. Drain, put into a sauce
pan with two tablespoonfuls of butter
to pint of potatoes; put back on the
stove for fifteen, minutes shaking occa-
sionaily SO that the butter may be even
ly absorbed. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper and one tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley, and serve at once in
n very hot dish.

Bleeding of the nose is often very

The writer says: Gut some blottlng

it up the nostril that is bleeding. Tie
