for luncheon.
The smallest allowance possible fol-

cases for each bed. At least a dozen
face towels should be provided foI

fashion in sheets is now being revived
by fastidious housekeepers. These are
sheets cut long enough to fold well

over the middle of the hem. Pillow

Fashions in Millinery.

Toques I'D hats trimmed with feath.
ers are more seen now than they were
earlier i'm the season, and there are
more hats worn off the face than or,
with the brlms turning sharply back
and covered with feathers or with a
spray of artificial flowers beneath the
brim One reason why so many more
hats are worn off the face now is that
the forehead is so much more covered
in the new style Of hair-dressing that
the hats off the face are more becom'
ing. The toques are smart little af.
fairs, but, without exception, are very
soft. They are made Of velvet, Of
cloth, or chiffon and silk combined, and
are either black or some color that ac.
cords we'll with the gown. Light gray
felt hats trimmed with ostrich feathers
the same color look extremely well
with the light gray feather boas that
are worn with the black gowns or
with dark blue or dark green, for that
matter. Gray and purple 90 not look
well together. so it is better to use the
black boa and hat or the purple hat to
match the gown and the black boa. 1t
seems to be necessary to wear always

neci-pleated chiffon edged with che
nile, full pleated ruchings of tulle, or
lace or a feather boa, The ostrich
feather boas are much fuller than
they were at the back of the neck, are
worn very long, and the ends of the
more expensive ones are finished with
three or four long plumes or tassels Of
ostrich-feathers which are extremely
graceful and becoming -Harper's Ba.

Bnrned Her NYeddIng outat.

The day after a Chinese girl is mar
ried custom eXacts that she should
cook the good things for feast to
which all the husbands relations are
invited. Her own family provides not
only the ingredients for the dishes she
is to prepare, but also the wherewithal
to make the fire to cook them.
The father of one rich bride, having
forgotten to send the wood to cook the
nuptlal feast, the naughty bride, rath-
er than be laughed at by her new rela-
tives, turned to the servants and or
dered them to break up a fine red lac
quered chest in which were packed
rolls Of silk, brocade and Grape part
of her trousseau), and with these cost
ly stuffs and the pieces Of the chest
the fire was made, the dinner success
fully cooked and the family's pride
saved! When she told her father, he
cried, "Well done, my daughter"
This feast the day after her wedding
is most trying for the bride, as she
must serve the mems table, and they
are allowed to make all sorts of jokes
at her expense and personal comments,
and she must be able to bear 1t all with
a cheerful smile She makes her repu-

To Make a PouItice.

A poultlce is a valuable aid to draw
Inflammation, and there is a right and
a wrong way to make it. In making o
pOultice, whether haXseed, mustard
bread or oatmeal be used, heat and
moisture are the two requisites Wher
prepared it should be spread on piece
of cheesecloth or old linen to the thick
ness Of about half an inch, and ther
another layer o. cheesecloth or liner
should cover the poultice and the edges
be folded over so that none Of the fax
seed or material employed in its max
ing comes in contact with the skin.
1t is a good scheme to make two
poultices, so that the second may be
ready to replace the first when it is
removed, and it should be removed as
soon as it begins to cool. Over the
poultice it Is always well to lay a
piece of oil silk, cut little larger than
the poultice, and held in place by
straps or tape. Safety pins should not
be used if tapes can take their place

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
tion but no mother need hesitate TO
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation --
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinlsham promptly Y
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia e. Pinlrham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

She Helped Make American History: ;i':''

She Helped Make American History.
Dolly Daggett was a Martha's Vine
yard heroine and her name will ever
be associated with the famous Liberty
Pole at Vineyard Haven. 1t was back
in 1775 that the good people Of that
village erected the pole on the highest
point Of land. One day a British YES
sci came sailing into the snug little
harbor. Its captain needed a new
mast and sent a boat full Of men
ashore to obtain one. The Liberty
Pole was just what they wanted, and
they proceeded to negotiate with the
selectmen, saying they would take it
away by force, and therefore a price
might as we'll be fixed; so the select
men sold the pole.
Now, when Polly Daggett heard Of
this proceeding she became very in
dignant; she felt that the flag which
surmounted that pole had been insult
ed and she determined to Illustrate the
Britishers' plan. Learning that they
were to come in the morning TO saw
off the pole, Polly took two girl friends
into her confidence. When night came
they went quietly to the hilltop, bored
a hole in the staff, poured in a guam
tity Of powder, applied fire brand on
the end of a beanpole, and then
watch with glee the fall Of the pole
ruined beyond repair.
The next day the men from the ship
came for the pOle and Vprp furious 70
find the coveted "stick" in splinters.
The selectmen could not explain mat
ters, but inwardly charged the affair
to the prank Of the village boys. The
ship sailed away minus the Liberty
Pole, and for many years Ihe three
girls kept their secret concerning this
incident, which became history.

Ca. q being nearly eight feet high covered with bluish hair and having a human face adorned with immense ears resembling those of an ass. The creature was stone deaf and on that account seemed wholly unconscious of the approach of the men. This mon- ster seems. from old accounts. to have been seen upon several occasions dur Ing the next four years.
 In 1916 a number of adventurers from Virginia. most of them surveyors working up the unexplorcd portions of Georgia and the Carolinas, formed themselves into party for the express purpose of capturing the uncanny be- ing If possible. They secured the hills and valleys for several days and at last returned unsuccessful 10 the starting point.
 The many tales told of this extraordi- nary being seem 10 have created quite a stir all along the Atlantic coast. A printed circular issued by a land con- pany in 1915 says, The climate of Georgia is exceedingly mild. the soil productive. and the danger of attack from uncOuth beasts which are repre- sented as being half beast and half man are fairy tales not worthy of con- sideratiou."

 When the doctor left South Africa, he said. he was virtually banished by order of Gen. Maxwell, military gov ernor of Pretoria.

It was found impossible to remove the wD- mans clothing as her flesh came off with it. She was tenderly cared for until death relieved her.
