Lincoln and his Cabinet were in ses-

left word that he would receive cards.
As he supposed the meeting was

While they were gathered about the
table a servant brought i'm two cards.

Low Neck Reform.

Although rigid stickler for por-

was acknowledged to have "the most

vanity regarding her best points grew

protest was made against the iron
clad rule, but no exception was ever
made; health and age and scrawny
neck had to give way before the de-

made uncomfortable if she can help

Much satisfaction has been expressed

BALLAD OF SARAH JANE.

A pilgrim went 20 the Orient
And his heart was cleft nm twain;
There was half for Bess and half for
jess
(But none for Sarah Jane).
And he sware them both with a solemn
oath
And he softly spake of the gold he make,
With wedding in constant view
(But to Sarah Jane he said nothing at all,
And she silently sorrowed in bower and
hall)
The day was late at the distant date
When the traveller came again,
And Jess was dead and Bess was we'd
(But there was Sarah Janet
And the pilgrim swore he would rove mo-
more.
But-alas. that it so should bel
He'd nothing at all to marry withal,
Nor pay the parsons fee;
And he thought with pang of the wealth.

At several shrines in the Orient.
But Sarah Jane was proud and fain--
n maiden true was She
She spake no blame nor cried, For
shame"
But laughed in gladstone glee
Said, Here be rings and lots of things
Worth thirty thousand pound:
engagements score I've broke, and more.
While you've been traipsing round;
Here's things from Tim and rings from

And more from Henry Bill:

Or a house on Primrose Hin"

This is the complimentary opinion

From every point of view the
American is the most satisfactory of
any of the many nationalities with

natural beauty and grace, to which
she adds chic and judgment What
more ideal combination could dress
maker require? The tendency of the
American women is, perhaps. Il tride

steps the bounds OF good taste She
studies herself well. and knows what

States head and shoulders above her
sisters OF Mexico or the South Ameri-
can countries Nothing could be worse
than the average Sarh of the Spanish
American woman. She has no taste
whatever, and will wear anything her
dressmaker may choose TO put on her
back. AS a rule the color is vivid and
the fashion Outre. Not so with the
woman of the States She does not
propose to he dictated to in matters OF
dress. She is very glad to take sug-

How to Make nIusIin Toast

Any rather stale bread that cuts into
firm slices answers for this delicacy.
The writer's first KNOWLEDGE of this
was at n dinner party mt which each
dish was perfect OF its Kind. When the
cheese was passed, with it came this
crisp. delicious toast, cooked at the mo-
ment of serving. The slices were cut
literally "as thin as a wafer" and
spread out to dry an hour or two be-
fore needed. They were finally spread
out on hot tin pan, popped on the
top shelf of Il quick oven long enough
to curl up a little and take on a pale
shade of brown. This toast is partic-
ularly grateful to people of delicate
digestion, but is so appetizing that it
has become n fad to lovers OF dainty
living. 1t may also be served at
luncheon with fruit. Housekeepers
who find themselves at the mercy
OF country butcher should call to
mind the French method of "improv-
ing tough meat. An impossible beef
steak, for instance. may be trans
formed into one that is tender and
juicy if it IS allowed to stand over
night in mixture OF vinegar and
salad oil in equal parts For n three
pound steak half a cupful OF the mix
ture should be put in crockery plate
or dish large enough to spread the
meat out in it. Prepare this carly in
the evening and before retiring turn
the steak. What is left OF the mixture
should be bottled for the next time.
Don't use salt or pepper while it is in
the oil and yinegar-Chicago Record
