Spinning ceased to be fashionable in
our neighborhood years ago, but for
all that Aunt Martha still spins the
home carded wool and knits the stock
ings.
She is spinning this afternoon in
June. The wheel whirls rapidly round
and round beneath her dexterous
stroke, and the spindle whirs and
buzzes and sings. The child sitting in
the doorway listens intently and
watches with never-tiring eyes. AT
last there is pause in the spindle's S
song and Aunt Martha leans against
the wheel to rest. The child speaks
then.
"Aunt Martha" she says, "why did
you never have beau"
A panied expression quivers over the
wrinkled, yellow face, and mist gath
ers before the blue eyes.
Because" says Aunt Martha, slow
ly, I was ugly and awkward, guess. -
Untold grief is vibrant in the low
toned voice, but the child does not no
tice it.
"Why are you ugly, Aunt Martha %
she persists.
Youth is very cruel.
Because I've always had to work so
hard" replies Aunt Martha.
Her mother interposes then. BE
still, child,' she says. you mustn't
ask such questions. Yes, it's the work
that's done it. When Martha was a
little thing, she was just as cute She
was almost the prettiest child 1 ever
saw, by all odds. She was plump and
dimpled, her skin was as soft an white
as that wool there, her hair was thick
and dark, an her hands beautiful-jest
as white an peaked like"
The child looked at Aunt Martha
again. There is nothing beautiful there
now, she thinks. The form is as tall as
any good sized mans, and large e-boned
and angular; the hair is nothing but q
wisp Of gray threads; the eyes are
sunken and faded the face is hollow
and sallow, and the hands that now
tumble aimlessly with the wool are
anything but white and peaked like"
Great, calloused hands they are, with
the strength of a lifetime gathered in
their knotted knuckles. AS the childs
eyes fall upon them she seems to un-
derstand intuitively the lesson they
teach. A wave of remorse passes over
her heart, and she sobs aloud in her
contrition. She throws herself at Aunt
Martha's feet and clasps the blue call
tco gown caressingly. She looks up
into Aunt Martha's face, and the IN
nate beauty irradiating those pink
features subtly penetrates the childs
soul. and she cries passionately:
you're not ugly, Aunt Martha; IN

WHITE ROSE.

White Rose, so near the gate,
Does she pass out and in?
The summer twilight long and late,
When whippoorwills begin
Their swift and mellow cries
Below the yelled blue skies,
Does she pass out and in?
White Rose, that scent of thine
So rare and sweet and old,
''Tis some PERCEPTION half divine
Thy petals pure enfold
A sense of Heavenly things
Thy line from Eden brings,
So rare and sweet and old.
Then does her spirit come,
AS in the long ago,
Around the DID, sweet-gardened home
To wander to and fro?
When dew is on the grass
Along that path to pass,
AS in the Long Ago.
Dost thou not talk with her,
White Rose, so near the gate,
When her pale angel garments stir
The twilight deep and late?
Oh, while she bends above
Then whisper love-my love-
White Rose, so near the gate!

NO PAINTING IN HERS
NEW WOMAN scoRNs APPEALING
WAY OF "cLINGiNG VIi.E"
Despises Alteration of Mere Man,
Frowns on Mysteries in Heroisn,
Gloats Over Passing of Heroism of
Ancient Fiction Who Taught Men
Greatness of Simple Faith.

1--WE are glad" said a woman writer
recently, ''to be able to chronicle the
passing of the clinging vine" OF course,
The writer referred to class of wom-
en-, noVeiists of an earlier school made
popular
We are not sure that the clinging
vine has passed. If she has it seems a
pity. For the clinging vine had her at
traction, and not the least of these was
her disposition to cling. The other day
woman of the type dubbed new"
rescued a man and two children from
drowning. She did IT in the calm, Su-
perior manner so characteristic of the
type. A little crowd of men, hearing of
the accident, hastened to the pier in
time to witness the rescue. They
cheered the rescuer Justify. Had the
clinging vine accomplished the rescue
and even the prejudiced must con-
fess that both history and literature
have proved her capable of heroic acts
she would have tainted gracefully
away as soon as she was satisfied that
everybody was safe. The superior
woman did nothing of-the sort Non
plussed, but admiring, the men who
witnessed the brave deed cheered lust
sSy. The clinging vine, had she success
sally warded off a feeling of faintness,
would at least have blushed and went at
this demonstration. But the superior
woman was without nerves. In ac-
acknowledgement of the tribute of gall
lantry paid her by the men, she merely
begged them not to make fools of
themselves. The group melted away
as if by magic. The superior woman
stalked haughtily, and alone, to her
hotel.
The clinging vine brought out by her
helpfulness the best that was in a
mans character. The superior woman
will have no such credit placed on her
record. If the clnging vine has really
passed she deserves a resurrection.

SOME FASHIONABLE FADs.

Brick red is a fad.
Some of the most catchy tailor rigs
are of white mohair strapped with white
taffeta
Those moire clcaks hold too much dust.
The trouble with your one black utility
dress is that you wear it all the time.
Black and white hats are the vogue
So are neck ruches in the same magpie
scheme.
AS a rule dead white cotton lace looks
best on a dead white dress. When the
real laces are used it is different.
Petal f1ounces are dainty and pretty.
Ribbon lattices continue their vogue.
Yellow lace is effective on pale blue.
Finest grass linen SHIRT waists are love-
ly with brown suits.
French flannel Shirt-waist suits are ad-
viSable for those going northward.
Burnt straw is an ideal crown for most
Ntailor rigs.
Hats do not flare backward. They
either incline forward, sit straight, or, if
worn back, have forward bend to the
brim.
Chenille embroidery rivals the more
novel wool.
Tulle rosettes are more modsh than
roses or bows so long worn in the hair.
An aigrette is often added.
Five or more fine tucks best edge the
fiar1ng hounce Of silk.

Value of individuality.

Given the same material for compo-
sition, or arrangement, how diverse
may be the results achieved by diff
ferent individuals. The writer has in
memory a room furnished and used as
sitting room by a lodger. She was
lacking in artistic taste, but was scrup-
ulously neat and clean. A pretty car
pet covered the floor; a piano stood
exactly in the middle of one side of
the room close against the wall; chairs
and sofa were also placed in straight
lines. A table with a neat cover was
in the middle of the room. Plain
muslin curtains - snowy white-fell
in severe folds from the pole; even the
rocking chair assumed a stiff atti-
tude, and the books on a narrow shelf
seemed to look severely down. The
reom had the beauty of cleanliness and
sweetness, but no other grace-no
charm.

Three Hot Weather Dishes.

Collared Mackerel-Bone the mack
erel and sprinkle with salt, pepper, a
tablespoonful of allspice, cropped on
ion and parsely. Roll them up and
place in a pan. Roll over them enough
water and vinegar mixed to cover them
and let boil gently for an hour. Keep
them in the pickle and serve cold with
garniture of lemon slices and parsley.
They may be baked istead of boiled
if desired. In boiling, roll up in a fish
cloth in order that they may retain
their shape.
Salmon Jelly-Break boiled salmon
into flakes and season with allspice,
salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg.
Fill mold with alternate layers of
salmon and aspic jelly. Set on the ice
to get thoroughly cold, then turn out
when serving on a fiat dish and garn-
ish with lettuce leaves and slices OIL

and beat all until light; now add two or
three gratings of nutmeg one-half cup of
level teaspoons Of baking powder are
sifted. Have the moulds buttered, fill
half full put on the covers and set in a
steamer or in a kettle with boiling water
that comes up one-third of the side of the
mould. Replenish with boiling water and
do not move the steamer roughly on the
range unless you want a heavy streak in
the pudding.
For the sause cream one-third cup of
butter and one cup of powdered sugar
and add quarters cup of berries.
Beat until the berries are mashed
smoothly with the sauce.

This pudding is subject to many varia-
tions. For instance if time is limited
you may put the batter in one-half pound
baking powder tins and the puddings win
be done in thirty minutes, or in one
pound tins and an hour is sufficient. If
there are many people to be served,
double the rule and pour into melon
mould and give it one and one-half hours
steaming.
In hot weather time spent in a kitchzen
or in the company of a heated range
should all be filed to the best advantage,
therefore small or individual service of
food is often the best.
For the pudding add one tablespoon of
melted butter to one-half cup of sugar
and beat together; add an unbeaten egg

MUST KEEP OUT.
Federal AppOintees in Illinois
Told What to Expect.

Washington. March 3.-The following
statement was made public at the White
House today:
After inquiry of the president as to
what the presidents views were in re-
gard to the political activity especially
in any fractional difference within the
party, of his appointees. Major Hogan
stated to the president that he would be
compelled to withdraw his name from
consideration in connection with the ap-
pointment of internal revenue collector
for the southern district of Illinois as he
desired to continue actively to partici-
pate in the politics of the state.
The president again reiterated today
to various Illinois representatives, both
in congress and in executive office, that
he expected his appointees in Illinois to
keep clear of any active fractional work:
that the election of senator from Hi
nois was for the Illinois people only to
decide and that he expected the federal
appointeeS in that state to serve their
party by doing their work in their re-
spective offices in frst-class shape and
by refraining from any improper fac
tional activity in connection with mat
ters with which the federal adminiStTa-
ton had no proper concern.
