twenty minutes, taking great care that
it does not scorch. Remove from the
fire and when cool strain through a
colander. To a quart of the strained
pumpkin put one quart of milk, one of
cream, eight eggs, one teaspoonful of
salt and sugar, and spice to taste. If
preferred, two quarts of rich milk and
ten eggs may be used.
1t Is a clergyman's story, says the
New York Times, and he was one of
the chief actors in what he considered
at the time a small tragedy, but which
proved eventually to be "one on him. "
He tells the story himself and vouches
for it. so while it is one of the most
remarkable cat stories on record, 1t
must be believed. The family cat af-
ter the manner of her kind, had given
birth to a large family of kittens. all
but one OF which her owners, after the
fashion of their kind, were about to de-
stroy. 1t devolved on the clergyman,
who was not there under orders, to
perform the unpleasant deed. The kit

was a tender-hearted little sister in
the family who was only to know that
the kittens had disappeared. Taking

there until they were motionless, and

was searching for them, dug hole in

much relieved at having an unpleasant
duty we'll done, the young man went
off. That was in the morning. When
he returned in the afternoon what was
his surprise to see on the piazza of the
house Mother Pussie and every men,
Der of her family, the children enjoying
their regular afternoon tea, as happily
as if they had not been through an I'M
usual and unpleasant experience in the
morning. There was only one expla-
nation. The attempted drowning had
been so quickly done that the kittens
were merely rendered. unconscious, the
mother cat with her wonderful in
stincts had traced them to the spot
where they were buried, only a little
under ground, and resuscitated them.

son, but varied objections to this fan

One of them is that the bride is not

maids all in white as she would be
otherwise.
Some one color. says the New York
Sun, is preferred by many on that ac-
count. A difference without much of
contrast is made by using ecru nous
seine de sole for the bridesmaids
gowns and trimming them deliberately
with lace.
Pink cloth picture hats trimmed with
pink feathers, or plumes, crown this
sort of gown very effectively. Beige
colored spotted net over cream silk is
another pretty fancy.

The bodice, also tucked, has a square
lace yoke and lace frill on the elbow
sleeves. Black gloves and a large black
hat with black feathers emphasize the
contrast.

Where is your friend, Mary?" asked
a well known statesman to his daugh-
ter at the breakfast table.
"Oh, she is still in bed" laughed the
young hostess ;"she never gets up be-
fore 9 or TO-"
Then" said the old-fashioned man,
severely - consider that she is not
a proper companion for you" And
during the remainder of her visit the
fair delinquent, who was pretty and
had many excellent qualities never
succeeded in regaining his good opin-
ion.
While it is rather a sweeping asser-
ton, says the New York Tribune, to
say that people who lie abed in the
morning are good for nothing. 1t is,

men and women generally get up early.
Take, for instance, the girl who after
a dance sleeps until noon, and the
one who seeks recuperation by an early
morning walk, and afterward pursues
her usual avocations. Which of these
two would make the best wife, the best
mother, the most useful and desirable
member of society? The answer is
obvious. But young people require

to be indulgent in this respect. So they
do, but not more than certain amount
Eight hours is an all sufficient daily
allowance for any grown person, and,
although after special occasions nine
hours might be allowed. a longer time

the character.
