specimens are beautifully silky in ap-
pearance, and frequently have fancy
designs imprinted on them. In pearl
gray, willow green and soft dove
color these are suitable for dressy
toilettes and dust cloaks. Favorite
trimmings for alpaca are coarse
cream lace--Irish or Venetian point
for preference-and ecru applique
with an edging of gold thread.
Foulards in silk, and in their excel
lent cotton counterfeits, are prettier
than ever, and are especially suited
for wear in this month of tears and
smiles. Rose-pink in rather a deep
shade is charming in foulard, trimmed
lace insertion and knots of black vel
vet ribbon.
Delaines, in exquisite colorings and
designs, are not only stylish for
dresses, but are much used for
blouses, of which the narrow turn
over collars and cuffs are fashioned
of hemstitched or lace-edged silk,
matching the prominent shade in the
pattern.
All transparent fabrics over silk
will be much worn. Sometimes the
silk underslip is of a contrasting
shade, such as green under pink, yell
low under mauve, etc. Very beauti-
full are the clinging English-made
crepes, with satin striped cream back
ground, on which are printed clusters
of lovely pink roses, chrysanthemums
or honeysuckle. Fairies themselves
would not disdain to wear these ideal
productions.
Soft grenadines in stripes and floral
designs, d'esprit net and voiles are
trimmed literally with lace and made
fussy with many lace-edged tiny
founces. Plain, clear white muslin
is made up into simple gowns and
blouses. The latter have tucker of
pink or blue ribbon, ending in a ro-
settle and streamers at the back of
the neck. The bishop sleeves are just
pinched at the elbow, where a knot
of ribbon to match prettily adorns
them. The waistband is also COM
posed of strands of ribbon.
Long silk sashes, with fringed or
hand-painted ends, frequently accom-

A CATCH IN HIS BACK.

deal of trouble recently with his back
Every time he went to do the least bit

IN THE KITCHEN.

Don't boil milk for coffee. Scald it.
Don't put butter in your refrigera-
tor with the wrappings on.
Don't keep custards in the cellar in
an open vessel They are liable to
become poisonous.
Save beef marrow from soup bones
to add to suet for buildings. Marrow
is more delicate than suet.
The boilings of salt beef or pork
make excellent pea soup, if the salt be
neutralized by the addition of some
brown sugar and several carrots.
Roast pork, to be at its best, should
be from a small pig, and, if possible,
dairy. fed. 1t is very important that
pork should be properly cooked
through.
To make boiled potatoes white, let
them lie in cold water for two hours
after they are peeled. Drain off and
set in a saucepan with just enough
cold water to cover.
The new opal effects in Venetian
glass are exceedingly lovely. The idea
is carried out in all pieces designed for
table use, even to the tumblers and
pobletS.

ample scope for the artist to achieve
beautiful decorative effec5s in the
painting of satin, muslin, chiffon and
lace.
Transparent lace yokes and collars
are worn. These should be lined al
ways with white chiffon, as it makes
the skin look winter, and also affords
more perfection from the too ardent
attentions of King Sol. Dress collars
are generally soft and dainty look
ing, or, more often than not, are con-
spicuous by their absence.
Silk petticoats have deep founces
of muslin and lace made to button on,
so that they are easily removed for
the laundress. The petticoat worn
should, if possible, tone with the pre-
dominating color in hat or costume
For instance, a pale blue hat,
trimmed with black, and costume of
the two colorings, would be worn
with pale blue underskirt. Thus
one could have founces of different
colors TO fasten on to the same upper
skirt.
In headgear there is an infinity of
shapes from which to select. The new
satin straws are beautifully pliable
and need very little in the way of
trimming. Turbans, broad kind of
tricorne, and boat shapes are all IA
vorites, together with the French
saucer brim sailor hat. Abundance
of tulle is used both for trimming and
for constructing hats and toques.
Flat toques are made entirely of
green leaves or green moss, some
roses and a stiff rosette of ribbon or
velvet being the sole trimming. White
roses, lilac in natural colors and also
in pale blue and black are popular
flowers. Upturned brims of straw tur-
bans are formed of interlaced circles
of straw through which is threaded
soft panne ribbon, ending in a bow
and long ends at the back
Cream lace wells are la mode, worn
either as veil pure and simple or
draped carelessly round the brim of
the hat to end in cachepeigne droop-
ing over the hair. The smartest
sailor hats have cream lace wells
draped on the brim.

CHAPTER XVI

STORM OF THE SACRED MOUNTAIN
1t was Nais herself who sent me to
attend to my sterner duties. The din
of the attack came to us in the house
where 1 was tending her, and she asked
its meaning. As pithily as might be.
for she was in no condition for tedious
listening, gave her the history of her
nine years sleep.
The color flushed more to her face.
MY lord is the properest man in all
the world to be king" she whispered.
She closed her eyes then, lying back
among the cushions where I had placed
her, and dropped off into healthy sleep,
with the smiles still playing upon her
lips. l put the coverlet over her, and
kissed her lightly, holding back my
beard lest it should sweep her cheek.
And then l went out of the chamber.
That beard had grown vastly dis
agreeable to me these last hours, and
/ then went into a room in the house,
and found instruments, and shaved it
down to the bare chin. A change of
robe also / found there, and took it in
stead of my squalid rags. If a man is
in truth king, he owes these things to
the dignity of his office.
But, if the din of the fighting was any
guide, mine was a narrowing kingdom.
Every hour it seemed to grow fiercer
and more near, and it was clear that
some of the gates in the passage up
the cleft in the cliff, impregnable
though all men had thought them, had
yielded to the vehemencs of Phoren-
ices attack. And, indeed, it was
scarcely to be marveied at. With all
her genius spuired on to fury by the
blow that had been struck at her by
wrecking so fair a part of the city, the
empress would be no light adversary
even for a strong place to resist, and
the Sacred Mountain was no longer
strong.
Defenses of stone, cunningly planned
and nightly built it still possessed,
but these will not fight alone. They
need men to line them, and. more over,
abundance of men. For always In
storm of this kind some desperate fel-
lows will spit at death and get to hand

The New York papers report that
the Health Department of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in a
Sixth ave. department store. The
report of the analysis of the Health
Department stated that it was IAN
alum baking powder containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of repress-
ing the sale of bad baking powders.
In England they have prosecuted the
grocers under the general law and
broken up the traffic. In Missouri the
sale of alum baking powder is actually
prohibited by law. In New York they
seize the unwholesome stuff and cast
it into the river, without any discus
sion. The latter way is certainly eff
fective.
The alum baking powders are usual
ly offered at low price, ten to twenty
cents a pound, or with some prize, as
a temptation to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking pow
der of established name and reputa
ton. Do not be tempted by the grocer
to take something else as Gust as
good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by inscriptions max
ers and is selling an alum powder with
out knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist
on having what she knows is right, and
not be induced to risk the life of the
family for an imaginary saving of
few cents.

wrinkle. From below the knee skirts
are very full, and in light materials
break out into an abundance of frilli-
ness that is really very fetching.
Dress skirts made of diaphanous
materials are often gagged at the
back, or fiat plaits employed to give
substance to the back width. There
is less tuclling on skirts, but more
founces and frills.
For country and morning wear
short all-round skirts with boleros of
square-cut pretensions, or with simu-
lated basques, are seen in light
tweed, covert coating, linen, pique
and drill.
Blouses, or rather slips, as they are
termed, are daintiness personified in
fancy and embroidered muslin, and
especially in black, white and cream
d'esprit net. A net blouse in the lat
ter shade looks delightful made with
quarter-inch tucks and yoke of cream
lace across which are bretelles of
black ribbon velvet with a tiny gold
clasp in the center of each. Then
sewn at intervals over the bodice and
sleeves are black lace butterflies.
Black net slips have appliques of
cream lace for garniture.
The mixture of black with cream
or white is very modish; and pale
blue-real Cambridge blue-is one of
the spring colors, and is seen in all
dress goods, and also in millinery. A
note of black is usually introduced
with it. Green also, in the shade of
tender leaf green, promises to be
very popular. 1t has a silvery bloom
on it that is very soft and becoming.
Full neck ruffles of chiffon, net and
tulle fasten at the neck with long
streamers of black ribbon velvet.
Some are furnished with a wide frill,
which droops over the shoulders in
cape fashion.
All the smaller yet now essential
dress accessories are very pretty, and
much skill is expended on their man
ufacture. Narrow collar and cuff
bands are made of lace or finely en-
broidered muslin, and used to deco
rate cotton and silk blouses. These
trifies are easily fashioned by the
home worker, as well as embroidered
waist belts and sashes. There is also

1t is reported from Toxic that the
officer, Yamow Gowsky, who was in
charge of the battalion of Japanese
troops 200 of whom lost their lives in
a snowstorm, has committed suicide
by poisoning himself. The cause is

brave men and being saved himself.

One of these ships, the Corfe Castle,
has just sailed for the African coast.
1t is the intention of the company to
have one ship leave New York each
week, and to cut down the sailing time
between New York and Cape Town to
21 days.
A most unusual cargo was taken by
the Corfe Castle. Instead of filling
the ship with the ordinary commodi-
ties that have hitherto gope to South
African ports, she was loaded with
pianos, organs, clocks, prepared cock
tails, articles of household equipment
and every ccnceivabls thing that goes
to make up the American home.

THE BYME-BY MAN.

I know a byme-by man,
I'll introduce to you,
And fancy many wives
Will say: II know him, too"
You'll find him on farm
Qnherited you know
For at earning money
He is so very slow.
He meets you at the gate,
And greets you with a sigh;
Says he will mend that gate
Some rainy day byme-by,
He's had so much to do
He's HAD no time to spare;
1t really seems to him
He has worlo of care.
Then, too, the whole porch floor
Is rotted to the ground,
And gross neglect is seen
In everything around
He hastenS to assert
That things have gone awry,
There's been so much to do;
He'll fix them up oyme-by.
You'll find that he burns wood
AS green as it can be,
But promises his wife
That next year she Will see
He'll have good seasoned wood.
Poor SOUL she heaves sigh.
She knows full we'll he'll break
This promise by and by.
For thirty years and more
Each year it's been just so.
With not a promise kept,
Although years come and go.
And is it any wonder
When people hear him plan,
They shake their heads in doubt,
For he's a byme-by man.
