The homely bin of fare may be in
definitely varied when beef is used.
Beef As the staple meat I'm most house,
holds because Of Its supposed nourish-
Ing qualities. These recipes win bring
out all the best havors of the meat:
Grilled Beef.-~Cut some beef I'm half
inch slices. Dip each in melted butter
or olive oil and broil quickly over a
clear fire. In small saucepan put two
tablespoonfuls OF hot water, two ta-
blespoonfuls of butter. one tablespoons
full each of tomato and worcester
sauces, pinch OF salt and pepper, one
half teaspoonful of made mustard, n
little juice from an onion and one or
two drops OF lemon juice or vinegar
Dip each slice of meat in this. Serve
on toast and pour the remainder of the
sauce over each.
Beef Patties.-Take underdone beef.
one onion, pepper and salt, some pie
crust Cut the meat into small square
pieces chop the onion finely and mix
with the meat, adding salt and pepper.
Roll the crust rather thinly, cut II i'm
rounds with a small saucer; put little
| of the chopped meat on one half, fold
the other over and pinch the edges to-
gether. Fry the patties in hot lard till
nice brown or bake them In a good
oven; time, about twenty minutes.
Bearnais Fillets OF Beef.-Take fillets
from between the first ribs of beef and
grill carefully. When done. put little
bearnais sauce in the bottom OF a hot
dish. arrange the filets on IL, glaze with
a little good reduced gravy and garnlsh
the center with boiled butter beans
tossed in butter. Serve the rest OF the

Beef Olives.-Take the remains of
cold beef. a little chopped onion, pepper.
salt, parsley. breadcrumbs and any
gravy left over Cut the beef into thin
slices and spread over with the mixture
OF crumbs, onion and parsley. Roll up
and secure with string. put in a pie
dish. cover with gravy and stew gently
for an hour. Thicken the gravy and
serve with border of mashed potatoes.

Children should be carefully instruct
ed and have 1t early impressed upon
their minds 10 give and receive kisses
only TO and from those they love and
who love them. Even then some re-
.straint is obligatory upon adults who
are not perfectly we'll and in the case
OF a man who uses tobacco.
Children and adults are alike sub
Ject 10 contagious and infectious dis
eases from kissing. and this possibility
should he a caution against the fashion
OF promlscuous kissing. Several cases
OF smallpox resulted from this indis-
criminate kissing of a lady who was
thought 10 be only slightly ailing.
DO not express your sympathy for the
sick by kissing. Parents should never
allow their children TO be kissed by
strangers. and children should be pro-
hibited from kissing each other.
Influenza or the epidemic form OF
catarrhal fever is undoubtedly trans
ferred from one child TO another often
times by the contact OF kissing. Scarlet
fever, measles. chicken pox. whooping
cough. mumps and diphtheria are often
communicated in this way.

~ ARIS, July 26.--I find that wo-
men who used TO buy tea jack
cts of the modistes are order
ing them from the seamstress-
es. They are so simple this
season that IL seems foolish to pay "A
large fee TO a high priced dressmaker
when a cheap sewing woman can do
just as well. White is the happy color
which prevails. and swisses. lawns and
linens are the choicest materials.
Quantities of lace are laid over them.
and when a color effect is desired the
sheer white stuffs are mounted on thin
silks.
Beige ring spot net lined with chiffon
and trimmed with valenciennes lace
composes one dainty model The fronts
are shaped into deep. rounded stoles.
and the sleeves are short and very full.
Ring spot net ornamented with lace
medallions is applied over pale blue
silk to make another jacket. Ecru lace
frilled about the edges forms a graceful
border for the garment.
Bell sleeves attract attention TO a
smart coffee coat of fine lace net which
falls over a very full lining OF cream
colored chiffon. The net is gathered to
form frills and ruchings, while soft
streamers OF gauze ribbon fiutter from
a bow at the throat.
Accordion plated nets are utilized In
the making of these dainty demidress
wraps Fluted nets are made up with
fine effect over accordion plated pink
silk. The sleeves. collar and fronts are
covered with floral lace appliques. and
a chou of crepe de chine is set among
the soft laces of the neck.

rate the silk Jackets, of which one sees

Lace trimmed nets, laces. chiffons and

A long time ago the wedding ring was

studded with precious stones. People
who have seen the old pictures of the
Madonna in Rome will remember that
in one or two OF them there is a glisten-

wearing OF the wedding ring on tho
