The Old Love Letters,

1t is a constant theme for discussion
whether the girl of the period is as sweet
and as fascinating as her predecessors of
two or three generations ago. But might
not the searchlight of criticism be like
wise turned with advantage upon the
modern young man in his role of lover?
lockers on proverbially see most of the
game, and those who watch from the
afar of matured age and extensive read
ing can scarcely arrive at any other con-
clusion than that the very modern young
man is not nearly so successful as a lover
as, let us say, was his grandfather. He
does not burn at the altar of his lady
the frankincense of undisguised devotion
and chivalry or deem her eyebrows
worthy of sonnets. Indeed it seems that
he does not even understand the art of
writing to her. The modern love letter
is a poor affair, grossly unworthy to be
read beside the tender billet douX of even
the early part of the century. The mis-
sives penned by Edwins of today are
flippant, slangy, brief, practical. They
may be interspersed here and there with
occasional terms of endearment, it is
true, but their tone is that of up to date
conversation. The telegraph, the express
messenger boy, the typewriter, the tele
phone, the postal card, have all helped to
reduce the modern love letter to its least
common prosaic denominator Angelina

She writes to him of the time she is
having with the Slowgoers' or of the day

dress her as even well known poets Of

Economy In Knowledge.

A French housewife is made or makes
herself acquainted with the separate
parts Of the animal to be cooked She
knows which joint will roast, which will
broil, which will stew best, and she
chooses her joint accordingly. 1t would
never enter her head to order Gas we once
heard young housewife do because her
husband had complained of the toughness
of the meat rumpsteak for casserole or
ragout purposes. She would know quite
well that the toughness probably lay at
the cooks door, not the butchers, and
would say some severe things respecting
Oyerquick cooking, She would perfectly
tealize that where juice and softness are
required, as in a ragout, the cheaper and
more sinewy piece from the shoulder of
beef would stew to far better account
taan the more delicate fllet or round. and
so on through all the scale. 1t is just this
contr' ance that reduces expenditure.

Workers In Lace,

Few people know that most of the i'm
ported laces are made by peasants and
the little children of charitable institu-
tons. Lace schools have been founded
on the outskirts of the larger cities. Here
each child is trained to do one particular
stitch, either on parchment or a black
dotted paper, where the thread is carried
from point to point, the pattern having
been carefully traced previously, and
when the entire pattern is covered this
parchment can be torn away. These
laces, when finished, are placed on the
market, fabulous prices being paid for
them. 1t has been suggested that with
the talent in our own American homes
such institutions would be great sue
cess, A school of designing has been
talked of where the first rudimeuts are
taught, each person to learn certain
stitch, passing from hand to hand, turn
ing out a perfect piece of work. Many
American women already do beautiful
laeework, even going from door to door
with gems of handiwork, while many
times our misguided American "grandcs
danes" are going about with a bit Of cot
ton lace on their gowns, sure that it is
handmade and imported because So-and-
so said it came from abroad.-Harper's
Bazaar.

A New Terror Of Courtsbin

An Indiana brunette for some days
had been suffering from supposed
attack of pleurisy, but when DR.. S. +.
Bordman was called in he found that
one of the young lady's ribs was frac-
tured. After much questioning the
girl blushingly admitted that her best
beau had inflicted the injury while
giving her his Usual tender embrace
before parting on his last visit. The
occurrence of the accident was marked
by sharp pain in the side. "a catch
in her breath" and a sudden relaxation
of her hold.-Chicago Medical Re-
aoslon

Danger In Porcelain Glaze.

A recent caution from the United
States consul at Mainz, Germany, re-
lates to the danger in using certain silver
mounted glasses and porcelain wares. In
manufacturing, the silver on each article
is applied by means OF a rrocess which
requires the use of potassium cyanide
and the hairlike cracks existing in the
porcelain glaze receive and retain a dan
Eerous amount of this deadly poison. To
hse or even handle these cups, glasses,
Jars, vases or whatever the vessel may
be is attended with great risk. The con-
sui reports a severe case of poisoning re-
sulting from the use Of the ware, which
is chiefly exported to this country from
Frankfort, Berlin and Stuttgart.

Mrs. Poyer lets three of the CAVES, lit
tie white "Tinkle," Twinkle" and Win
kle," live with an old mother rabbit, be-
cause they love to ride ON the old hare's
back
When Mrs. Poyer enters the building
where the caves are kept, the greatest
twitter of recognition comes from their
little throats. They sing much like birds,
and few rare specimens can whistle as
well as a boy.
These little fellows are great eaters,
and their Unsuitable appetite endears
them to every child. They are always
ready TO eat grass or vegetables, and they
are often treated to bread and milk
One season Mrs. Poyer had 500 Bel
gian hares. Then she made an importa-
ton of Peruvian CAVES from England.
These she raised with as great success as
she did the Belgian hares. Her stock Of
hares contains some of the finest blood to
be found. But her greatest favorites are
her fluffy little CAVES.
Mrs. Foyer does not seem to regard her
business of pet breeding as any great Nm
dertaking She thinks that any woman
who fond Of animals and uses her com
mon sense can acd in raising hares
and CAVES. SAe avs advises beginners
to start in a small way and grow into
the business, thus Mt all times being mas
Ter of the situation.

The Right Time.

To arrive late at a luncheon party,
garden party and the like is the reverse
of good manners unless a very good ex-
cuse is forthcoming. Once upon a time
it was considered rather fine to be the
last to arrive. but this sort of thing Is
out of date in these practical days, and
people are thought very foolish to arrive
when a party is almost over when they
could perfectly well have been present ut

Washington Irving's father was ma
tive of the Orkney isles. His mother was
an English woman from Falmouth. As
has often been observed, the mixture Of
blood seems to be fortunate for the &c
ius of the offspring, for Irving had a
comprehensive mind, a beautiful style II
expression and an eye for beauties and
oddities seldom surpassed. The Ameri-
cans are justly proud of him, and Britain
looks complacently over Mt her literary
grandson.-Scottish American.

well; but, all the same, it Is to be wished
that they would sometimes help us to

marvellous embroidered Gowns.
Tine large SQUARE hoop petticoat worn
about 1740 offered a splendid opportunity
for the grand spreading out of the COM
plicated needlocraft cOnceitS of the nee
dlewoman. One of the handsomest spec
linens of the period, reported to have
been worn at a court ball by the beauti-
full Duchess Of Queensberry, was worthy
of being designated as the pictorial or
landscape gown" All round he hem of
the white satin skirt sprang grassy
mounds and messy hillocks, strewn with
every possible kind Of weed, forming
suitable frame to the elaborate device on
each breadth or panel and reaching near
ly to the waist. It consisted of an old
trunk in solid work in shaded brown che
nile and intwined with a wealth of
climbing plants, nasturtiums, honey
suckle, periwinkle, convolvulus, ivy and
vine, with variegated leaves worked in
natural shades and streaked, like the
trunk, with a shimmering of gold, to rep
resent the glow of the sun. The sweet
array of Mowers was carried out on
smaller scale on the sleeves, and on the
banks of the border starred with forets,
which in their turn adorned the robing
uuu ldCluSS. 1HlS SiOIiOuS uOFdl scheme
won universal admiration and naturally
excited no little envy from the dearest
friends Of the wearer.
Another white satin dress previously
donned by the same duchess, also at a
royal function, where partners were cho-
sen by their fans, had scored no less
success for its clever delineation of lux
uriant vine leaves intermingled with rose
buds eXquistely shaded as if with the
brush. Apparently this realistic imita-
ton Of nature Wss quite the vogue of the
moment, with few variations brought
out by the age or fancy of each GUS
toner. Thus a rather more severe treat
ment was displayed, for instance, in the
superb attire of the Duchess of Bedford.
Her rich green petticoat and train of
paduasoy were gracefully festooned with
masses of shells, coral, corn, cornhow-
ers and seaweed, a device most appro-
pirate for the seaside and harvest sea-
son. Except for the flowers and coral
each detail was executed with a differ
emit stitch in gold and silver work. A
mosaic pattern in tinsel likewise spar
kIed on the white satin bodice. However,
q respondent trimming with a fin-de-
steele SAVIOR consisted of gold net all

it is based on the known curative pro-
