Special training in the art Of smiling is

that Alexandra has learned from life.
The fad has taken serious hold on socie-

Simple Fall Millinery.

Millinery for ordinary wear is extremely
simple. but the sailor hat is extinct, and
more graceful shapes have taken its place.
One of the most popular Is an enlarged
turban with shallow back. which Is drawn
in once or twice The front is usually trim
med with choux Of ribbon or silk cut on the
bias but velvet Is very smart, or large
rosettes of crepe de chine.
Flat capelines with the front brim laden
with flowers or foliage, are also popular for
afternoon wear and go admirably with cloth
gowns. Boat shapes, with the back fiat
and finished with wide bow Of ribbon or
velvet, are also favored, and all hats are
worn excessively forward and quite fiat

Fairy Batter Pudding.-A delicious dish In

see that the oven is of Il steady heat, as If
for baking bread. Now make a smooth bat
ter with the milk, stirring in the eggs last,
and bake about one hour. The pudding will
rise with brown crust on top, and, by the
slow baking, the sides and bottom will also
be crisp and brown, while the interior will
be tender and light. Serve directly from
the oven, with fruit juice slightly thickened
for sauce. No other sauce will take the
place of this. When the supply of extra
juice, canned for this very purpose, is eX-
hausted, evaporated cherries soaked over
night and we'll sfmmered in the same water
are an excellent substitute. The cherries,
after giving out all their goodness are only
fit to throw away, but the sauce even then
is very inexpensive. This old-fashloneo

Burglar at the McSwats'.
from the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago TrlDune.
Mr. Billiger McSwat awoke the other
morning to the knowledge that his home
had been entered in the night by some un-
authorized person and a portion of his
portable wealth removed.
The burglar had effected an entrance
through the bed room window and escaped
through a rear window.
In one OF the pockets Of Mr.. McSwat' 3
trousers there was the sum of "a, more or
less, in silver.
This the burglar had taken.
In another pocket there were few one
cent pieces.
These, in a spirit of humor rare among
operators IN his line Of business he had
ranged in @ row along the sill of the win
dow through which he had made his exit
and left them there.
The trousers he had dropped on the stair-
way.
Having ascertained the extent Of his loss,
Mr.. McSwat went upstairs again and
aroused his wife.
'Lobelia," he said. 'the house was robbed
by burglar last night
What did he take?" she breathlessly In
Quired, sitting up In bed.
Nothing, so Tar as I can see, except a
little money left in my trousers. He took
all Of that but 8 peAnies."

And the Plain Girl Won.
A girl made a wager recently that she
could win the exclusive attention Of the
most distinguished man at certain house
party If he happened to be over forty years
Of age. She was not even pretty girl, and
so the others entered into the spirit Of her
proposition and filled her little book with
pledges. There were number Of guesses
as to her plan Of attack, but she shook her
head and smilingly refused to divulge it.
In week the guests assembled at the
country place, and the lion was, indeed,
what the girl had hoped he would be-a
statesman Win nODDy ana nal1 century
of years to his credit. The hostess, who
was in the secret, smilingly put the girl
next to him at dinner. Then the others
prepared to watch the game.
The young woman herself appeared to
have forgotten all about her wager. She
made no effort at all to attract the man.
In fact, he talked right and left darling a
glance here and there around the table, but
nowhere fixing his gaze. The girl looked
into his face now and then in polite inter-
est. AT last he caught her glance before
1t fell; then he turned around and talked to
her. He talked as men will when they
know they are doing their best. She paid
closer and closer attention, and he grew eX-
ultant and masterful. She did not talk; she
knew little of the art of strnging words.
She simply listened. After dinner the great
man approached the hostess and said cor
daily:
II have never enjoyed a more intellectual
feast. Thank you, my dear madam, for
placing me next to that most charming
young lady. She is the finest conversations
alist have met in years. 1 shall take every
opportunity to become better acquainted
with her"
He walked away, pleased with himself
and the world, and the plain girl reaped her
gains like a little Shylock, remorelessly.

to rank next to mock turtle, the beans be-
ing known as turtle beans" Soak one

and parsley, pepper and salt to taste and
four quarts Of cold water. Cut the tail
into joints and fry brown in good dripping

same when you have taken out the pieces
Of tail. When done. tie them, the thyme
and parsley in a bag and drop into the soup
pot. Put in the tail, then the beef, cut
into strips. Crate over them two whole
carrots, pour over all the water and boil
