ly very we'll invested when we consid-
err that it reduces the number of dys-
peptics. Surely music hath charms to
soothe the digestion, and wise is the
hostess who provides little music for
her guests while dining.
Here is something odd and interest
ing from an Eastern exchange:
THE widespread anxiety concerning
the milk supply makes the circulars
of some of the high-class diaries inter-
esting reading Many of them an
nounce thoroughly tested COWS with
periodical inspection by veterinaries.
One states that the cows are groomed
daily and again brushed before the
milking. The milk is drawn in pail
through a strainer, is further strained
three times. and is Immediately bot
tied. The mixers and dairymen all
wear fresh suits of white linen, every
effort being made to secure absolute
cleanliness. Another dairy makes a
point of prompt delivery from COW to
consumer. By means of special de-
tailed arrangements with fast passen-
ger trains, the milk from its diaries
is delivered to customers within ten
hours from the time of milking. All
this effort is hopeful sign. for while
the price charged at these places is
higher than the usual rate for milk,
butter and cream, their influence has
a tendency to better the conditions
under which the business of the cheap
er diaries is carried on. Science has
taught us that, however effective the
country milkmaid may be in story or
picture, the ways of her kind are far
from hygienic in real life. Usually the
milkmaid is man, farm hand who
counts the milking as one of the
rounds of evening duties to be
undertaken without any special
reference as to what has been
done Immediately before. There is
no one thing that comes into her
household concerning which the mis-
tress should more intelligently inform
herself than milk

jar with a gallon of best unsweetened
gin; cover and fasten down the jar
very tightly, and let it stand for a
month. Now strain off the liquid, add
to it one-half pound of roughly-crush-
ed sugar candy, and again let it stand
for week; then bottle. Or (2) remove
the peel very thinly with sharp knife
from five Seville and six Tangerine or
anges and two lemons, and lay this
peel with one and half pounds of
powdered sugar candy, and rather more
than one and half quarts of best gin
in half-gallon spirit jar. Then strain
the Juice of the fruit on to it and cork
it down very closely. Leave it thus
for three weeks, shaking it constantly;
then strain, bottle and cork it closely,
and keep it for year before using it.
Some people use barley sugar instead
of the sugar candy, but this is mat
ter of taste.

the critic looking immensely wise and
self satisfied, going on his way rejoic-

remark.
The fact is that lace was an article
for the adornment of masculine dress
in the long ago days when masculine
vanity blossomed out in founced dou-
blets and feathered hats instead of in
coats of eccentric cut and collars Of
wonderful build. Gentlemen of the
time of Henry Ill of France were the
first to extensively use lace in trim

The women got eight tricks.
Trick /. 1t has often been pointed
out in these articles that if you hold
any combination of cards from which
you would lead high, you should play
high second hand. If Y were opening
this suit he would undoubtedly play
the ace. The player on his left hav-
ing shown him four of the suit, the
ace can be made now or never. The
Brooklyn player seems to have thought
as he held four of the five cards out
against the leader, presuming the six
to be fourth-best, that he could fol-
low Hamilton's rule of just covering,
an error which probably cost his team
the match, as the women had to pick
up trick on this, the last. deal to
tie and two tricks to win.
Trick 8. This is a. fair sample of the
difficulties which players get into who
depend on conventions for their gN4id-
ance. Brooklyn is playing the trump
signal game and the drop of two Fights
from seems to be nothing if not
call for trumps, so to trumps he goes.
Trick 4. This first discard of BIS
is exeusable, as the adversaries led the
trumps, but the following ones are
very bad. Her partner has taken UP
the adverse trump lead and is evident
ly bent on continuing it and B should
keep her suit, reserving only guard
to the diamond king.
Trick T.. 2 is now in difficulties
again. He sees that his partner is
all clubs, but he has no club to lead
to him and does not want to lead
diamond to player who is evidently
preserving re-entry in that suit.
Trick 8. There is nothing for it but
to return the spade. B wins the trick,
SO as to make the nine, and also to
save A from having to lead clubs to Y.
The women made eight tricks on this
deal, and nine were easily in it if B
keeps the spades. Here is how the
women made ten at the other table,
gaining five on the deaf:

enough IN trumps to justify forcing
her partner, and being able to run a
suit herself, she goes right back with
the clubs In the hope Of establishing a
cross ruff-one of those deadly things
we read about in books and often see,
when the hands are played on COM
mon sense principles.
Trick 8. 2 suspects there must be a
chance for a saw, and as her partner
is more likely to be short In diamonds
than in spades, 2 leads her longer suit,
and the adversaries look on and smile
gracefully for the next five tricks.
Trick 9. This is well played. 1t is
useless for Y to go on with the force,
as the saw cannot be continued unless
2 holds the king of trumps or B has
both king and queen.

Ill, brought great quantity of the
laces of Italy, then the great lace max
ing country of the world, and made
them fashionable at her court. To
supply the demand which her patron
age had created in the sycophantic
court of France she induced famous
Italian lacemaker. Vinciolo, to come
to Paris and establish himself as ii
manufacturer of the huge ruffs of
which Queen Catherine was the orig
inator Vinciolo collected and pub
lished book of his patterns and dedi-
Gated it to the Queen. All the ladies
of her court seem to have learned lace
making, for it was one of the favorite
employments of the maids Of honor,

probably reasoning that when they
were thus engaged they would not be
occupied in more reprehensible diver
sions, such as flirting with the king
or the young princes or spying for for

usual with young court ladies of the
time. So Catherine set Them all to
making laces for her under the direc-
ton of the gifted Vinciolo. Most of
this work consisted of squares of fine
embroidered net, for in those days the
best lace was little more than that.
A legend accounts for the origin Of
Italian needle point lace. 1t is related
that a Venetian peasant girl was pre-
sented by her fisherman lover with a
specimen of petrified seaweed that had
become entangled in his net, and that
shortly after, the lover being lost at
sea. she gave permanently 10 the beau
tiful souvenir by copying it with her
needle.

A request has been made by prom
inent lady whistler to give space In the
Register to the following extract from
Mr.. Fosters excellent whist column in
the New York Sun. The result of the
play was exceedingly creditable to the
ladies' team:
Many a smile and wink went around
when it was first announced that
team of four women had challenged
for the State championship, and the
four men who were called upon to de-
fend it had to stand a good deal OF
chatting when the women beat them
by four tricks in thirty-six deals. The
men were an old and tried team from
the Brooklyn Whist Club, thoroughly
accustomed to one another's play,
while the women had never before
played together as team. They were
Mrs. E. e. Tucker, Mrs. E. T. Baker.
Mrs. e. J. Seymour and Mrs. c. T..
Harris, of the Women's Whist Club, of
Brooklyn. The game was not particu-
larly well played on either side, but
the women pulled out a victory in the
last half, after being ten tricks to the
bad at the end of eighteen deals. There
were several good swings, the largest
being on No. SO, in which z turned
the nine of hearts. This is how the
women played ABS cards:

The portal swings,
My lady comes a-callins
In velvet dressed
Her veil close pressed;
The formal talks appalling.
The style, the day,
The church, the play
Whatever line she fancies;
Ten minutes pass;
she says Alas,
Time flies!' and off she dances.

From heart or head
No thought to live In beauty:
Her list she checks;
What names the next?
She's doing social duty.
