a Beef Loaf.

To make a beef loaf with bacon
curls have two pounds Of raw beef
chopped or ground in a meat chop
per. There should be one part of
fat to three of lean. The round is
excellent for this dish. Make a
sauce from one level tablespoonful
each of flour and butter and one
cupful of boiling water, season with
salt and pepper. Put into a brick
shaped pan in layers. On each lay
er of meat put little of the sauce
and few thin shavings of onion.
Set in the oven for 30 minutes.
Slice some bacon very thin. roll up
loosely and fasten with little wooden
skewers. Cook the bacon in a spi-
der until clear and slightly crisp.
Take out the skewers, and the curls
are ready for a garnish. Turn the
meat loaf on toa hot platter. arrange
the bacon round it and place bou-
quet of parsley on top. Any por-
ton left over may be served cold or
barely heated through.

Tact Of ltaIy's Queen.

A little story of quite recent date
shows the sweet complaisancy with
which Queen Helene tries to steer
the royal matrimonial bark, relates
London N. A. z. The queen has
very beautiful, wavy hair, which
may be said to be her one vanity.
During a reception some little time
ago she had it dressed so becoming
ly that one of her maids of honor
could not refrain from compliments
ing her on it. She said:
''How beautiful your hair looks
this evening, your majesty! 1t
waves so becominglyw
The queen flushed with pleasure.
But the king was within hearing,
and as he has an almost morbid alb
horrence of anything approaching
tiattery or praise she was unable to
thank her friend for a compliment
which she felt was sincere. Nine.
Y, of course, felt snubbed and re-
silent for the rest of the
evening, but when she came to take
formal leave Queen Helene whisper

The newspaper man makes the

and all other business men i'm
part the same cheerful "news"
but when the paper comes out
they fail to see their portion of
the ''news'', then they get mad
and call the editor hard names
and say he is lazy. The fact is
such stuff is not news to the ed
ltor until it is sent in accompa-
MED by five cents a line. 1t is
hard to convince some merchants
of what news consists. Uuless il

never tell the editor. But it takes

That the ordinary stepladder is

nundrum: "Why is newspaper

swers were: because it has to
have some one to run it. Because
both have to be known to be

good advertising mediums. Be-
cause it changes it Dress The
correct answer is: because every

AL OVER Tie HOUSE.
How 10 Arrange Bedrooms FOR Com.
fort and Health.

The bedroom, though primarily Il
place where one may get refreshing
sleep-"sleep that knits up the ray
eled sleeve OF care"-is also a place
to.dream in, by day as we'll as BY
night; a place TO rest in when one
has an hour of leisure; a place, in
short, sacred TO oneself, where one
may go, "the world forgetting. by
the world forgot" Its requisites,
therefore, are comfort, a restful at
mosphere and such beauty as may
be. Very handsome or elaborate
furniture would seem out of place in
a bedroom, and in no room are in
harmonious combinations more I'M
bearable. The most successful bed
rooms are often found in unpreten-
tiOus homes, because there siIpplici-
ty and taste must be used instead Of
expense. The japanese believe in
banishing from the bedroom every
thing which is not really necessary
to comfort. All things useful they
make as decorative as possible, but
for mere ornaments nothing Is add
ed unless it be a vase containing
flowers arranged as only the Japa-
nose can do. Their custom viii

While it is undoubtedly true that
silk and satin brocades, Lyons woven
matelasses and other costly and ele-
giant figured materials are to be among
the dominant modes for elaborate
evening dress, it does not mean that
the old-style, stand-alone qualities are
to be revived. for this is far from being
the case. The soft, clinging brocades
are of the richest quality and purest
silk, but they are eminentiy dainty and
feminine, with fascinating grace, a
wondrous luster and an artistic me-
lange of pastel of more pronounced
oriental colors; but there remains
total absence of any sort of stiff or
wiry effect in any of the latest French
weaves.
Tiny ruches of silk or of the dress
material pinked at the edges are the
