The Boer war served to make the

laid the loss OF n battery to the fact
that the mules. when hit. ran straight

men at the market. 'those animals

Worn at N Wedding.

The most noticeable dress worn ut n
recent smart wedding was not worn
by bride or bridesmaid but simply by
guest. 1t was of ivory white satin.
The prevailing note was the princess
robe. but the bodice opened over vest
of pink brocade. which gave just the
relief Of delicate color sufficient to
counterfeit the effect OF the deadly white
garment. Gauntlet cuffs We're of the
brocade. and lace ruflies and cravat
finished the confection. The choice OF
hat suitable for wearing with such a
gown was no doubt n matter of some
difficulty. but it was successfully set
tied by selecting large black silk

and black ostrich plumes. fastened
with paste buckles.

A Few Don'ts.

Don't buy food that has been in cold
storage if you can secure fresh food;
sometimes turkeys and fish are kept
frozen for years. All fresh meat that
has been frozen loses its firmness and
flavor when allowed to thaw. which
Is necessary before cooking. Firm fish
and fresh meat are essential to good
and wholesome living. You will see
offered for sale smelts and green
smelts, and many housekeepers do not
know the difference, which is lust
this: Green smelts are freshly caught:
smelts not bearing this label are frozen.
The frozen ones become tasteless and
