The dressing sacque, or the little
room jacket. is closely related to the
tea gown and is often so designed that
II can be worn to breakfast, and even
to luncheon.
The tea gown is msnomer. 1t is
really only what our grandmothers
called wrapper and is never worn at
all at the five o'clock tea.
The room jacket can be made eX-
tremely elaborate. 1t is or should be,
of wash materials so that it can be ever
of taste so luxurious that they choose
the velvets and satins, making them up
with high-priced lace in such models
that they look very much like dinner
waists. But the ordinary little room
jacket is made of soft. sem-wash ma
terials that can be cleaned even if they
cannot be actually scrubbed on the
board.
All room jackets should be made with
sleeves that can be pushed up to the
elbow and with a neck that is either
round or pointed. or can be made So
BREAKFAST JACKETS.
The breakfast jacket which is Il more

the woman who abhors frivolities-guiity
of owning and wearing this most fcmin-
inc garment for the proper breakfast
jacket is all of ribbons and lace.
All kinds of materials are called into
use for the breakfast jacket, but the
figured lawn and the wash silk are the
most popular. Then come bingham and
the many lowered organizes. But the
latter must be carefully washed. or it
will be ruined the first time it is put
through the process.
There is this to be said about a silk
breakfast jacket: 1t can be cleaned at
home by washing in gasoline, or it can
be sent to a professional cleaner. when
it will come back as good as new. SO
great is the vogue for these breakfast
jackets that women are willing to go to
the extravaganza of silk and lace and
the cost of cleaning in order to own
them.
A delicious little jacket. just such
one as a woman loves to wear, was made
of rose-cOlOred taffeta, printed with
running wild rose design, and having

AN EASTER PUDDING.

Take a package of gelatine and cover
it with hot water. Keep it warm on
the range. Next put one and half
pints of rich milk in a saucepan and
bring it to the boiling point. While the
milk is heating prepare the other ingre-
dents of the pudding, as follows: Put
four heaping tablespoonfuls of granulated
sugar in a large bowl. add the yolks of
three raw eggs; whip the sugar and eggs
to froth. Pour the hot milk into the
dish with the melted gelatine and stir
it briskly. When the geatine is well
mixed with the milk let it heat again.
Whip the whites of the eggs to a stiff
froth. When the milk begins to wrinkle
on top take it off and gradually pour the
boiling milk over the beaten yolks Of
eggs and sugar. stirring rapidly. When
well mixed pour the whole back into a
saucepan. Stand it in boiling water and
stir in half a teasponful of extract of
vanilla AS soon as the mixture begins
to thicken to a thick cream, quickly stir
in the whites of the eggs Then pour
the pudding into large mold and stand
in cold place, to jelly.
For the sauce: To pint of rich cream
add three heaping tablespoonful of pow

ion of having the bridegroom and best
man standing at the altar has its disad-
vantages. They sometimes have to ''cool
their heels many a long moment before
the bride appears. Electric bells and sig
nails of all kinds have so far failed to
prevent these delays.
Another old custom has entirely gone
out-that of the bride going up the aisle
with her veil over her face and having it
thrown back to walk down with. The
inconvenience of arranging and adjusting
the veil properly at the trying moment
was probably the cause, For some years
brides wore a short piece of tulle over the
face. still striving to keep to the old
fashioned idea. The veil was pulled off
by one of her bridesmaids and crumpled
in her hand before the newly married
one turned to face the world. Now even
the bit OF tulle has disappeared, and the
veil be it either of lace, met or tulle, is
fastened with jewels or Ean aigrette of
flowers or feathers, to stand high at the
back of the head. isl

London in a bracelet which she wears
upon her right arm. 1t is a snake, which,
when unwound, might be two feet in
length. 1t is of greenish gold, with
bronze spots upon it, ragged in outline,
so as to give it startlingly life-like ap-
pearance.
The head of the serpent is of green
enamel, with ruby eyes and a ruby
tongue. Its fangs are of ivory, and in
the head there is an emerald shaped like
a horn.

The fair name Of the state would
indeed be ruined if such wretches

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

Having satisfied ourself as to
the possibilities of this climate,
we are willing to seek another.
To this end we make the follow
ing magnificent offer: To the
first person sending us 1000
we will make present of one
printing office, guaranteed to
work man to death in one year
or money refunded. The outfit
consists of enog ggh type of various
points and angles, cordwood,
etc, to print a column pa
per, a job press that only q good
kicker should monkey with, a
paper cutter that should never
be placed in the hands of a
Christian, and an army press.
This press has a set of cogs on
one side and two cranks on the
other-one to turn the other
and makes the impression with a
cylinder. This is the only cylin-
der press in southeast Arkan-
sas.
AS every well-regulated print
ing Office has a good will attached
to it, we will throw one in. 1t is
y little frazzled around the ed
ges, but a careful man might
use it for few years or until he
could get a new one. We will
not sell this outfit to an old man,
because we know now it is our
self. Many years ago we hung
our banner on the outer wall and
defied the nations of the earth to
tread on the tail Of our coat, but
as the years went rolling by. we
took down the banner, pawned
the coat and are letting the
world go TO the devil without our
assistance.
Although we offer to accept
$1,000 for the plant we can be
jewed down to about one.fourth
that sum and jump at he chance.
As our tottering footsteps ap-
proach the end Of life's pathway
we do not care to strain our
mental faculties in an endeavor
to keep foreign advertisements
in the positions required by con-
tract, for fear that our last deys
may be spent in the insane as
ylum, and the man who has the
nerve and the money can secure

tyes and patent medicine locals
