The difference of cost between a
good and poor baking pow
der would not amount for a FAM
ily's supply to one dollar year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors bills.
Royal Baking Powder may cost little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and never spoils
the food.
Royal Baking Powder used always in

HOMEMADE MIROIR VELVET.
Old Materials and GinrinE Coiors
May BE Quickly and Easily
transformed.

'Miroir velvet is as popular as ever,
remarked n fashionable milliner, who
is as noted for her amiahility as for the
stvle of her hats and bonnets. And it
is not always easy to get a good assert
ment of colors. even i'll large shops.
1t is as well. then, for II to know 10Y
to make it herself.
The velvet is laid on a smooth press
ing board. which is not too thickiy
padded. \ large hot iron should be
passed quickly wei it. The iron must
be slid rather than pressed. II using
full weight all the time. Never remove
the iron until it has passed from edge
to edge of the velvet. and always start
at the edge. even il it causes YOU to go
over the same part twice; and always
press the ri"ht way of the velvet. Ev-
erv II understands the up and
down Of cloth and velvet. and YOU
must press down the direction of the
pile. and always follow the straight
thread Of the velvet. When pressing n
bias piece the iron must always &C
slantinr cd"r to edge. whereas if it is
straight YOU press in q straight line.
"In the factories where mirOir velvet
is made they use large rollers the width
of the velvet. which prevents iron
marks. When doing it a: home .yOu have
the disadvantage of the small iron &c
guard against, but by practicing on
scraps you will soon become expert. and
find il is 4 great addition to your posi-
bilitics of using old materials and
shades that arp too "larinC. Take
sample of velvet that is apparently no
n match or seems too harsh in color: j!
will be completely transformed by
mirroring. IT will change a faded color
and it gives q beautiful white bloom tC
even the cheapest quality."-Philadel

Wy Lady's Tresses.

The bandcau style Of wearing the
hair is coming in again. and a parting
or at least n separation of the hair in
the center of the front threatens TO
usurp the place of the pompadour puff.
The chignon. when worn now, is
placed on the top of the head. in the
form of soft loops or fluffy curls. The
name of the neck is left uncovered.
Combs are used more than ever and
the broad shell ones are particularly
pretty.
When the hair is worn low two tor
toise shell pins, with ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ed heads inserted on either side. serve
the double purpose of security and OF
adornment.-Ch;cago Record.

The man VINO takes the weather as it

He doesn't freeze in winter time, and in
the summer days
He's as cool as any iceberg in the boreal:s
blaze:
While Others fight and strive
Gainst the weather to conlrive.
Hes simply very thankful that he's pulling

In spite o: frosty seasons he pulls the

FEMININE FRILLS.
New Notions That Are Noticed IN
Fashionable HeaGEenr for
the Season.

Certain combinations of color seem
10 prevail to a certain extent in the
new hats this year. Violet or some
shade of heliotrope and pink seems TO
he one combination. and heliotroPe with
gray is another. and yellow with black
is that old combination of rich yellow
straws with black velvet, and there is
nothing prettier. These beautiful
deep yellow straws are to be found IN
many STYLES. and straw is to play an
important part in millinery. This IS
for trimmings. and bands of black
straw help 10 support and give char-
acter to thin black goods. and guipure
of yellow straw is TO be found on flufIS
white laces, and is charming.
Picturesque hats of chips and leghorn
are TO be worn. In big hats there are
strings and the hat itself is bent
down into all sorts of shapes. as they
are most becoming to the wearer. One
of these big hats has standing high on
the crown n cluster of small white roses,
with their foliage. the flowers showing
lust a tinge of pink. There is another
cluster. of blush roses. with tonnage,
and further down on the rim and at one
side a big bunch of great purple pan
sizes. The broad rim of this hat has a
fall of lace entirely covering it. There
are long strings of ribbon-pale pink
and heliotrope-with it.
Lirht silk and thin French materials
or silk crepe or some other f1eecy mate
rial are found in hat trimmings. An
other big le@horn hat has n large bow
of one of these fieecy silk materials,
with deep pink flowers. upon it. and a
gold buckle at the front, the ends pass
ing loosely around the hat and forming
strings at the back.
A little girls hat has a rufiie of fig
ured silk of Il delicate shade. with small
flowers upon it. lying around the brim,
and a narrower ruffle standing around
the crown. There is Il tiny cluster of
blue forget-me-nots and a standing bow
of blue and green ribbons of a peculiar
shade TO match the colors in the hat.
\ black hat which is effective is of
chip and has a big white tulle rosette at
the front. black tulle over white going
around the right side. and from the
rosettcs two big white plumes with
black edges at the left.-N. Y. Times.

Finest Coffee in the World

the treasury statistics show that scarce

why Is II lHdt tHe cidtIii'S U MISS
Helen Gould receive such atfectionate
recognition. while the larger gifts of n
