"The Wrought Brim."

The last Congregationalist had the
following review OF Rev. Dr. Fair rbanks'
book
The sermons are beautifully printed,
illustrated and bound. The spiritual
quality is OF the highest and is appropri-
ately voiced in an imaginative and inter-
esting style. The sermon on the parable
of the sower, with it's vivid pictures of
Palestine travel, is remarkably fresh and
original. The book shows firm grasp
both of the lessons of the Word, the sug-
gestions of nature and human life and
the best methods of bringing truth home
to its hearers"

The Vote in Caledonia County.

Our readers will be interested in the
vote in this county of last week COM
pared with the vote on the referendum
month earlier. From the comparison it
appears that there was slight gain in
the license vote and quite marked fall
ing off in the vote for no license. Burke
was the closest town as far as the vote
went and Stannard had only one voter
who favored the new law. Following is

To t. unsophisticated however, it
may in kindness be whispered that a
white peacock means an unusually
long purse.
James j. Elill whose taste in most
things is forceful, keeps on his place
near St Paul two tame buffaloes as
pets; while J. Pierpont Morgan has
one of his country homes situated in
wilds so remote that deer from the
adjoining forest nibble the honeysuckle
decorating its Veranda. 1t is to Rich
ard Croker, however, that the honor
is due of possessing the best lot of
Whipperts in this country, dogs which
may justly be regarded as the novelty
in pets.
The fifteen or twenty whipperts now
in the states came from England. They
are small dogs, standing but seventeen
or eighteen inches high, and are built
on the same lines as the greyhound
their heads being, perhaps, not so long
in proportion to the length of their
bodies. In color, again, they reserfr-

a deer-like brown, less often reddish
Along their backs runs line of
coarser, longer hair than that which
covers the rest of the1r bodies, sus-
gestive of a similar feature along the
back of hog. Large and uncropped
ears decorate their heads, while the
expression of their faces, instead of
being dOcile and sad as is the grey
hounds, is fierce and wild, a true in
+! dex to their ugly dispositions. Those
who have whipperts delight in them
mostly for Coursing. They are the
fastest dogs in the world In the pur-
suanee of this sport six or eight of the
dogs, or as many as are matched
against one another are brought
to starting post, where each
IS held by an attendant Here they
bite and snarl at one another like a
pack of wolves until at the other end
OF the line a man drops an unified
white handkerchief. At this signal
the dogs start running in a straight
line of perhaps a hundred yards The
speed they show is phenomenal. "Jen-

So let us begin with party clothes for
both boys and girls.
For chubby lads in their first trous-

ventional thing, for somehow the late
baby seems invariably funny in his
first trousers. a party suit for a boy
of four. lately turned out by a we'll
known children's outfitter, seemed a
happy compromise between babyhood
and boyishness. Made of ivory white
cloth, the little suit consisted of very
short trousers-short enough to show
all of the bare knees-and a wide
skirted coat with sailor collar. This
was edged with q band of heavy silk
embroidery between rows of tailor
stitching. A fine null shirt in pale
blue with an embroidered frill and a
three cornered hat of white felt tied
up with ribbons went with the suit
By the same firm are already shown
ravishing little garments in white and
colored pique for spring and summer
wear. These are for the younger ages
in both sexes. and include suits made
after the model of the cloth one for
boys and coats with capes for girls.

age and upward, the diaphanous ma
terials ranking first for mere lowell
ness. Dainty little gowns are made of
point d'esprit, organdy, Swiss and
novelty nets, with white always pre-
dominating, and the best things pre-
serving at every point a delicate sim
pltcity. Narrow satin ribbons, lace,
garlands of small flowers and silver
and gilt threads, strung in rows
through the nets, trim these fairy tot
lettes, which run largely to bertha
effects and picturesque sleeves.
Wreaths of artificial flowers are some
times worn with them on the head,

may be bunchy ribbon rosettes.
delightful little gown for a girl
of ten is made of Dresden silk (pale

frills edged and headed with this

of white mousseline fills in the cut
out neck, from which falls a pointed
bertha flounce of the silk Above this
are two garlands of pale pink artifi-
cial roses. The sleeves are elbow
length, and are made with two puffs

tune the head wreath will be found
bewitching.
Where economy must be considered
and one gala dress be made to go
through the entire season, silk is al
ways a better investment than the
more airy textures. Many really
charming silks can be had cheaper
than textiles which appear less pre-
tentious, and of course they are vast
ly more durable than the thin mate

Cold weather always brings to the
housewife the question of providing
a variety of simple but pleasing warm
dishes for the lunch or evening tea
table. The inevitable cold meat, salad,
relish or preserve can easily be re-
lieved by a single hot dish which will
appease the appetite and give a GER
tain air of hospitality to the table not
secured by menu made up entirely
of cold dishes. A simple solution of
the problem is a plate of warm biscuit
or bread made by any of the following
recipes:
Pop-Overs.-Take / cupful of flour,
u teaspoonful of salt, scant cup of
milk, eggs and Il teaspoonful Of
melted butter. Rub the salt into the
flour, add the milk gradually, then the
eggs and the butter. Turn into siz-
zling hot gem pans, or, if a glazed
surface is desired, into buttered earth
en- sups and bake in a hot oven half
an hour. Remember that in this reci-
pc, as in all given for puffs or pop
overs, the secret of success lies in
spending two minutes by the clock in
beating the batter with a Dover egg
beaten.
Graham Pop-Overs-Take 2-3 of
cupful of whole wheat flour, fill the
cup with white flour and proceed as
in the first recipe for pop-overs.
Fadges.-Mix to a smooth batter a
cupful each of entire wheat flour and
cold water; then use an egg beater for
two minutes and bake as pop-overs.
These have a clean, nutty flavor and
owe their lightness entirely to beating.
Hoe Cake.-Rub into ~ cupfuls of
Indian meal a small teaspoonful Of
soda and the same of salt. Stir with
cupfuls of well soured milk and 2
well-beaten eggs. Grease the bottom
and sides of a short handled frying
pan with at least teaspoonfuls of
butter and bake on the middle shelf of
hot oven for twenty minutes.
English Pancakes.-For the batter.
measure a pint of sifted flour. and sift
a second time with a tenspoonful of
baking powder and half a teaspoonful
of salt. Measure pint of sweet milk,
bearing in mind that it is safe to
scant the flour, but never the milk
Beat eggs separately, having the
! whites very stiff. Have the long
handled frying pan very hot and
grease with butter or sweet lard tied
in cloth. Mix the flour to smooth
batter with the yolks of the eggs and
the milk. The mixture should be no
thicker than ordinary cream. Last
thing of all, stir in the whites. Put a
large spoonful OF the batter in the CEN
| ter of the hot pan, grasp the latter by
the handle and deity WELD it so that
the batter spreads entirely over the bot
tom. 1t should be no thicker than a
wafer. Return to the hot fire. Shake
gently to prevent burning, and In a
moment one side should be an even
| brown. Famous cooks turn tbase
cakes in flash by a toss of the pan.
but the novice will find a thin cake
turner more sure. Brown quickly ON
the other SIDE and send to the table

weight, has a warm woolly appear
ance. The white thibet coats with
the silky angora edging the shoulder
capes and falling over the deep cuffs
are charming; and the angora muffs,
carried with these, are fitting and de-
lightful details.
OF prime Importance in dressing the
awkward ages is the headpiece, espe-
cially for girls. All stiff and meager
effects, as elsewhere in the toilette,
should be avoided, such as hard quill
trimmings and set tailor shapes. In
short, unless the girl is too pervasive
in bulk, the hat for the ungainly maid
should be generous in size and gem
erously trimmed with hrim that will
droop softly and with ends to encour-
age gracefulness at the rear.
1t is funny how any sort of a tail
will give woman the courage to go
on, and it is the same thing with the
woman-child. Give her a sash, hat
streamers, long hair ribbons, and
watch the effect upon her muscles as
well as her moral nature. If you see
her at an unsuspecting moment you
will truly think that the wand of the
enchanter has been at work
Some neat and inexpensive hats now
seena for girls of various ages are
made of tinted felt, with the brims
laced with black velvet ribbon. The
crown garnishing, which is also of vel
vet, generally consists of rosettes and
streamers. Such a hat can be had
ready made for $3.50. Beautiful sashes
in soft Louisine Ribbon initiate the old
Roman stripes. and others show the
delicate Powered stripes and dainty
patterns of the Pompadour and Ores
den silks. The method of wearing
the ,wide sash has never changed. 1t
still girdles the waist and ties at the
back in a large bow with ends reach
ing almost to the skirt bottom.
For baby girls the old-fashioned
way of tying up short sleeves with
ribbons, or looping them with coral
and gold links" has come in again.
Teachers who include the training
of the body in their curriculum assert
that something to carry in the hand
decreases self-consciousness and helps
to correct the clumsiness of changing
childhood. So give the winter girls
muffs and the boys canes. which all
English boys carry, and see how the
trick works. The big muffs now
fashionable might serve this useful
purpose with one sex, and for the 9TH
er the English hatters show the smart

1t was as pretty as we'll as an APP

With everything in dress tending to

been taken from the awkward age of
childhood. The all-legs- pc

The prime move toward ease of man

present always a look of Immaculate
freshness. Then, too, silk is easily
trimmed, the gay plaids especially re-
Quiring little more than a touch of
black velvet on the bodice, shoulder
and sleeve knots perhaps, and a
streamer sash.
All gowns for girls below twelve
are most effective when made with
white guimps and undersleeyes. A
high neck of the gown stuff may have
its practical sides, but II is neither
stylish nor becoming. Even if the
bodice is a sailor blouse, to accom-
plish the requirements of fashion the
shield should be white, with an edge
of the same bordering the collar.
In street clothes it is more difficult
to plane down awkward edges than
in the fol-de-rols Of smarter finery,
but. now that winter is still with US,
the right sort OF coat is an admir-
able beginning in this direction. Girls
with narrow shoulders and defective
carriage should never wear the loose
backed box coats. which are stunning
on their plumper and more graceful
sisters. For them a fitted cloak is
much more desirable, with capes
widening the shoulders and revers in
creasing the depth of the chest. An
excellent coat for n-year-old girl
