How She Served the Cream.

A suburban woman, entertaining
rather hastily at luncheon the other
day and having only vanilla ice cream
at her command, cleverly adapted the
potted plant service of city caterers
with the resources within her reach.
There was no greenhouse in the town,
but there was a cemetery, and from
the gardener in charge a dozen unused
tiny earthen pots were procured. These
were carefully washed and dried and
fitted with a lining of oiled paper
Into each then the vanilla cream was
packed, and chocolate was grated
thickly over the top to simulate earth
and a little sprig of maidenhair fern
thrust in the center. They were served
on plates, with fern leaves laid loose
ly around the base, and were received
with great admiration by the guests

A GIRLS ROOM.

The following description of a girls
room is a letter winning one of the
prizes offered by New York journal
for those describing most tastefully
arranged rooms.
"The walls are papered with deep
cream paper. 1t has wild roses tossed
at random over it. 1t cost us just
$1.20. The woodwork we painted a
deep cream. For the floor we pur-
chased art denim in shades of cream
and brown. We paid Is cents yard,
and, as it took 20 yards, it cost So.
We put lots of old newspapers for
padding. These made it wear much
better. AT the two big windows we
hung dainty Swiss curtains that we
made ourselves. They cost $1.25.
With $15 we purchased pretty white
iron bedstead and oak dressing case.
(This included the springs and mat
tresses.) From the rail around the
bed we hung a Swiss valance. The
bed spread and bolster roll were
Swiss over pink cambria, tied with
pink ribbon. The dresser mats were
made to correspond. In one corner
of the room my brother put corner
shelf for a washstand. Around the
front we put a Swiss curtain, with a
plain muslin one underneath. About
two feet above the stand my brother
drove spike right in the corner, and
from it on both sides we hung ruffled
Swiss curtains, drawing them back
with pink bows. We put up a shelf
along one side of my room, and I
|draped a pink lambrequin on it for
my books and friends pictures. The
Swiss and pink cambria cost us 50. los.
The ribbon cost 80 cents. We cut old
knit underwear crossways and had it
woven into two cream rugs, putting
n pink for a border. They cost %
cents apiece. For 81 got a neat
title rocker; 80 cents bought cream

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB.

When little Mary Moffet's mother
asked her to 60 up to the Glover
Farm for some fresh eggs, Mary
felt a little sorry, for she was very
busy making her doll dress, but
she laid down her thimble and
scissors and thread, tied on her
pink sunbonnet and set off up the
hill with her little basket on her
arm. AS she was coming home
she heard a queer little patter, pat
ter, behind her. She looked back
and saw something white Mary
felt a wee bit afraid, and began to
run but her foot struck stone and
down she tumbled on her nose
Before she could get up something
soft and woody was rubbing gently
against her face, saying "Ba "a !"
"Oh you darling lamb !" cried Mary,
hugging it - and the little lamb
Struggled close, and said "Ba-a-a !!
Take me home with you, little Mary"
Mary was astonished. "Whose
lamb is it?" she asked. ooh
Mother, | think it's just a wild lamb
Mayn't 1 keep it? ?" begged Mary.
But Mother said she must ask
Farmer Glover if it was one of his
lambs first So back they went
and found Farmer Glover mending
his fence, and Mary asked him
But there were two big tears in
her eyes, she did so want that dear
lamb, and the kind old man saw
them. swell, yes" he said, "that's
my lamb, but it's an extra one, that
l haven't any room for. If knew
anybody who would be willing to
take it and treat it we'll" "Oh,
Mr.. Clover" cried Mary, her eyes
dancing, now, and her shoes dancing
too. "Td be willing! I'd treat it
well May l have it ?" So Mary
and the little lamb went dancing
home together. And kind old
Farmer Glover watched them and
laughed till his Ratchet danced in
his hands and his spectacles danced
on his nose.

HOUSEHOLD.
What Should Young wife Stand FORE

What Should Young Wife Stand For?
"a home is no better than the
woman in it" writes Edward Box in
his article "What Should a Young
Wife Stand For?" in the July Ladies'
Home Journal. "This may seem to
place much upon the shoulders of the
woman and little upon those of the
man. But the fact remains, never
theless, that the moral standard of
home is ever given to it by the woman.
1t Is a common saying that a wife likes
to look up to her husband. This may
be true 80 far as the opportunities
common to his sex of a wider knowl-
edge of the world are concerned.
But when it comes to the highest and
truest plane of living it Is the woman
who sets the standard, and not the
man. would always have wife re-
main the least bit above her husband
in everything that goes to make up
the moral and social plane of the
household. A woman by her very
nature is more refined than man
and never, for moment, should she
lower that standard of refinement in
stinctive to her. A man is always
better for having standard to attain,
and that standard is never so affective
as when it is fixed for him by his wife.
The plane on which home rests at
the very outset has very important
bearing on it's future"

HintsIfor Preserving.

If fruit is very juicy, avoid adding
water to it when canning. The less
water that has to be used the finer the
avor of the preserve aud the more
beautiful its color.

II watching the preserve kettle is an
mpossibility, keep an asbestos mat
nder it. This will prevent burning.
Never touch cooking fruit with a
Poon or fork which is of any material
kept silver, wood or granite. A tin
boon may ruin the color and flavor
a whole kettle of fruit.
Do not boil jelly minute after it

Do kind, noble deed whenever you can,
And you'll never be sorry, my dear little man.

How sfenkfewicx Writes.

1t is said that no editor engaged in
publishing a serial story by Sienkie-
wicz ever received the whole manu-
script of novel from him at once. OF
his long historical romances he never
wrote more at time than the paper
published in one day. He is given to
sending in installments of two pages
each. Novel writing stirs up all his
nerves. and while it is in progress he
goes restlessly wandering FROM country

Obituary.

Miss Elizabeth Virginia Caro-
line Stribling the subject of this
memoir was the second daughter
of Mr.. Otis AID Mrs. Virginia n.
StribIing. She was born August
18th, 1875. and departed this life
on the 18th of March, 1902 Miss
Bessie was possessed of sterling
virtues which adorned her char
act and marked her life. En-
dowed with a bright mind, a viva
cious spirit and a genial disposition
she commanded the admiration and
love of all whose privils ge it was
to know her intimately. AS a
daughter and sister che was the
light and pride of her home, which
she graced with her presence and
charmed with her brightness.
In the latter part of her life she
was an invalid and a great sufferer
from a complication of diseases,
which bsffied the skill of the ply
sicians and which could be allevi-
ated only in small degree by all
that the tenderest human minis
tries could do for her, but she bore
it with great patience and was
bright and cheerful when the
hearts of those who loved her SO
dearly were filed with sadness and
grief on her account.
In vain did the devoted father
and mother seek to restore her to
health or to prolong her life SC
precious to them, by taking her to
more salubrious climates, for it was
the will of her Heavenly Father
who loved her best and who "doetE
all things WE'LL" to take her tc
Himself, for her complete recovery
and perfect blessedness.
She was member of the Pres
byterian Church and expressed i'm
plicit trust in her Saviour, anc
was not only not afraid to die, but
rather desired to depart and b.
with Christ which is far better"
Her end was perfect peace. Sh,
breathed her last as peacefully anc
gently as child falls asleep in it
mothers arms. May the God O.
all comfort and grace sustain thos,
who are so sorely bereaved anc
give them all the consolation of tn,
blessed assurance that they shall
meet her again and be forever will
her in her heavenly home.
ga precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed,
God, in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given;
And though the body slumbers here
Herself is safe in heaven"
