Undoubtedly the day OF really good
bread Is dawnlng, or rather re-dawn-
ing, for society The ''new woman"
has now come TO the rescue. This
means an awakening to latent ca
pacities and powers, and a revising
and new appreciation of old duties
and obligations In no place does this
new woman shine with a finer light
than she does IN her home, where her
intelligence reaches the remOtest
corners, Frightening and lettering all
things
The important subject Of break
making, which should head the list Of
cooking accomplishments, will, with
other things, receive proper study, and
sooner or later the perfect loaf will
not be a matter Of luck, as it so often
is now, but the result of a thorough
understanding of ingredients, their
combination and conditioning.-Ell
Morris Kretschmar, in the Woman's
Home Companion.

Treasure.
A young student was recently looking
over an old manuscript in the library
al Vienna when suddenly his eyes fell
on a passage which startled him con-
siderably Over and over again he read
Il, and finally he took out his note book
and copied it word for word.
In this passage the writer OF the
manuscript, who was apparently an old
monk, said that large treasure Of gold
and silver had been hidden in a con-
vent in Galacia. He described the loca-
ton Of the convent, and told in what
part Of It the treasure had been CON
cealed He wrote, indeed, as though
he himself had been an eye witness Of
the occurrence.
Confident that the old monk had not
told a fairy tale, but the actual truth.
the young student went at once to the
Cardinal Archbishop Of Lemberg and
asked him il he would bo legally en-
titled to half of the treasure in case he
should be so fortunate as to find it. The
cardinal replied that he would, and that
evening the young man started for Gal
icia.
In due time he arrived at the convent,
and after a brief search he found the
treasure It consisted Of large pile of
gold and silver and it is said to be worth
at least 2,soo,ooof Half of it, it is
claimed, belongs by right to the Church.
but the other half will surely be award
ed to the lucky student.

Green is especially prominent this
season as a tint for embellishing din
ner sets in a great variety of standings
from olive to q dark malachite. The
tinted decorations, however, are more
favored in medium-priced sets for gen.
eral use. For a so-called best din
ner set the housewife almost uniyers-
ally chooses a gold and white set Of
more or less elaborate design and
heavy gold incrustation as her purse
Twill permit Plain line effects are
)among the favOrite designs.
Medium-sized bowls of china, to
match the chocolate pot and cups, to
hold the whipped cream, are the prop
er accompaniment Of the correct choco-
late set.
Chop plates, while still round, grow
'4larger and larger. They are large
enough now to hold the chops dis
tributed around the edge and garn-
ishing circle of heaped potato straws
in the centre.
Indian pottery is quite a fad just
now for ends, corners, living rooms,
etc. The modern Pueblo pottery is
very different from the ancient, and
, is very little in advance in manufac-
ture The black and white, a white
ware with characteristic black line
decoration, the yellow ware, so pecu-
liar to a true Hopi ruin, and a red
ware with black and white decoration
are the most sought and usually seen
kinds.
Landscape and historic scene plates
besides others picturing places of local
celebrity in a very soft effective blue
decoration on white ground, remind
ing us Of our grandmother's day, have
been revived and are quite the fashion,

the proposed road. starting at point opposite

direction through the land owned by Christ

which the rec,ory Of the parish is situated, Is
meeting with considerable opposition. Many
seem to think that there are sufficient roads
in Charles County already to meet the
demands. To nan Of a tree Il looks a. #
there were too many. The roads Of Charles

The attendance at Christ Church on Sun
day was the largest in years, and il must be
extremely gratifying TO Mr.. Cogley, the rector
to see such an ouspouring Of the populaes as

from St. Mary's County. were in attendance.
As summer is approaching, Mr.. Coglsy hopes
to have his Sunday school organized and in
