TROPICAL DRINKS
ACCEPTABLE IN
THESE HOT DAYS

Down in the West Indies, where the
tropical sun always blazes fiercely, the
English planters and their wives
/ have several excellent receipts for cool
ing drinks. They might be tried with
| advantage in American households
during the hot weather. Here are
few of them:
Tamarind Drink.-Get two dozen
I large and clean tamarinds, put them
into a stone jar, shake quart of
brown sugar over them, and then let
them stand for a week, When ready,
put two spoonfuls of the mixture into
quart of ice water, mix thoroughly
and drink
This beverage is very cooling to the
| blood, and possesses remarkable medic
inal qualities. It is given in cases of
malarial fever, and works a speedy
cure without the Intervention of a doc
tor. The tamarind is a West Indian
fruit, but it can be obtained in most
large American cities If one is willing
to pay the price asked at good
fruiterer's. If not, use preserved
tamarind, which is sold in jars by
many grocerS.
Pineapple Water.-Take the rind off
| a large pineapple and soak it in a
quart of water for two days, Strain 1t
and sweeten it to taste. Then put it
on ice until it is thoroughly cool.
This makes a delicious summer
/ drink, and is the cheapest of all trop-
| ical beverages, as it simply uses up
! the rind, which otherwise would be
! thrown away.
"Matrimony." = Take six oranges
and six star-apples Cut the oranges
in halves and squeeze their juice into
a glass. Cut the star-apples also in
| halves, scoop out the soft pulp, and
mix it thoroughly with the juice of the
orange. Sprinkle little sugar over it,
crate some nutmeg, and serve in a
! glass with a spoon, as the mixture is
rather thick
The star-apple is a tropical fruit
which is not often seen in American
| cities. If it cannot be obtained,
peaches make a good substitute.
Planters Punch-The Creole recipe
! for this delicious drink is given in the
| following ancient doggerel:
zone of sour,
One of sweet
Two of strong,
| And one of weak
This means that the juice of one
| lime must be squeezed into a glass
and mixed with one dessertspoonful
| of sugar. Next, two tablespoonfuls
| of old Jamaica rum must be put III

Some fine black and white effects are
seen among the HOP" gowns worn al
oUt-of-town resorts. The more splen-
did conceits are generally the privilege
of matrons. but here and there a
maiden frock will be found in this
artistic and dashing combination. In
such a case, especially if the wearer
IS in the flush of youth, the black
touch is OF the most delicate descrip-
ton. "Threadings' velvet,
or ribbon strung through insertions
are used upon diaphanous textiles with
a piquantly youthful result.
A Swiss gown so treated had the
whole top of the skirt barred with a
fragile chenille cord put through lace
beading. The edges of frlIls in airy
textures are often outlined with this
velvety thread, which will be often
tied at intervals TO form fluffy loops or
rosettes.
Any evening garniture which lends
itself to a flower treatment is much
admired, and some of the white rib

ribbon roses hang in sprays upon
skirts, or are shaped in bodice punches.
Much foliage is used with them, and
so perfectly do they simulate the real
flower that only the perfume seems
needed. In scattered instances bodice
knots of the silk tape ribbons used on
underwear are also seen, but, whereas
on the undergarments the tying OF
these is kept to the simplest arrange
ment. the tape-ribbon breast knot Of

an organdie or Swiss gown may dis
play these ribbons tied in lingerie
ways-that is to say, the massed knots
are lightly achieved, and Invariably
show dangling ends tipped with single
ones. Curiously enough, these novel
and charming ornaments some times
have the look of harnessed butterflies.
The roses, which are very large, are
made of satin ribbon in a heavy quail
ity, and have an air at once bridal and
gently sad. They are always flowers,
Wofully sweet flowers, such as we are
accustomed to associate with love
and death.
In this demand for floral ornamen-
tation very subtle use is made of a

slightly tinted or plain. For Christ
mas decorations, alum-dipped or
frosted greases are especially artis
tic with the greens and holly berries.
Acorns may be gilded or silvered
with good effect if a twig with several
fine specimens and two or three leaves
is selected The nuts should be re-
moved from the cups and replaced
with drop of glue. or they are apt
to drop out when dry and spoil the
cluster. The leaves should be caught
to the stem with a very fine thread Of
wire, as they, too, are given to parting
company with the twig at inopportune
times. A broad, medium-sized brush
and some rather thickly-mixed gold
paint will then complete a most effec-
tive ornament for Christmas tree use,
or to Tighten up a lamp-shade of dark
rich tones, or a mass OF sombre
drapery.
Another way of making use of the
acorn cup is to remove the nut and
substitute for it a velvet emory cush-
ion OF Just it's size and shape, and of
any color desired. A drop of glue sup
plemented by a stitch or two with
doubled buttonhole twist Of the color
of the cup, taken directly from the
base of the little cushion through the
center of the cup with the ends tied
firmly in a tiny knot, will keep the
emory in place till doomsday. Two or
three of these tied together with mar
row ribbon makes a pretty and useful
item in work. basket furnishing.
The seed balls of the sycamore and
sweetgum are very ornamental, when
gilded or silvered and tied with bright
ribbons in festoon-like clusters.
Pine cones, especially the small
brown seed repositories Of the spruce,
easily lend themselves to such an ar
rangement. With their ray-like tops
cut off they are good for rustic box
making, the tops being set close to-
gether, and glued firmly all over the
outside surface of the box.

Lois withdrew to safe distance. but
when the roar of the explosion had
echoed itself into silence and the Cam
breeze cleared the air of gunpowder
as If drawn by a spell, she returned
to the vast pit. The monotonous ting
ting of hammer on stone had COM
menced. Five workmen, their faces
bronzed under fair hair, raised pala
blue eyes to look curiously at the slight
figure in it's summer draperies.
Suddenly Lois became aware that
the foreman was waving his arms to
her wildly across the chasm. At the
same moment a sickening, dizzy sem
sation, as though the very foundations
of the earth were giving way, went
through her. Half a dozen hoarse
shouts of warning were hurled at her
in Finnish, while one workman, with
more command of the English Ian
guage, yelled Look oudt, la-ady!"
One wild, upward glance she gave
as she realized that the whole mass of
earth and granite upon which she
stood was arating-sinking! Her
feet CROPPED wildly for firmer footing
and missed it. A darkness that was
as the pail of coming death settled
before her eyes. In a voice so hoarsa
that it did not seem like her own, the
name upon which in our extremity we
involuntarily call came shudderingly
from her lips.
Then, like a streak of light, a white
face with square locked jaws showed
near her own. a mans hand cutched
and held her. There was a breathless
moment when they both hung over
the quarry lip, Stanford with his right
arm twisted in a derrick chain, while
the mass of stone and earth crashed
and thundered it's way to the hundred
foot depth below.
n quick motion of the foremans
arms to the engineer in his ash-pow-
dered hut and the derrick swung
around, landing Stanford and the girl
he held on a solid mass of granite.
Weak and shuddering she stood
within his sheltering arm.
1.-THE mem" she breathed, ooh, the
men at the bottom"
Dear, tender heart!" Stanford
patted her shoulder reassuringly.
They're all right; they understood
the foremans signal, which you did
not, and jumped clear. Every move
ment of his hand means something to
them"
Through the sweet tangle of rose
and berry bushes they made their
way slowly home when Lois felt
steady enough to walk.
This is the second time in one day
that you have saved my life" Her
lip quivered, dark shadows lay under
the eyes which she raised to his.
(which proves that it would be far
safer in my keeping than in your
own" Stanford said quickly.
The girls head dropped.
Doesn't it, sweetheart"
For answer her eyes went from his
right arm to his face and back again
Stanford never had been slow to take
a hint; like a flash the arm went round
her and drew her close.
But you said you did not want"
she &rieved.
but I did! And there is no reason
now except that / do. Darling this
is the third time-the charm which
must win me my wife!"

CHARM OF THE THIRD
By M. LOUISE CUMMINS.

Miss Hiemway sat perched on low
ledge of rock, her small nose tilted very
much in the air, her clasped hands en-
circling her knees.
At her feet Stanford lay on the warm
sand, resting one elbow on the fur
thest extremity of her sea-pedestal, as
though hardly daring to claim even
that in common with her.
From under her long lashes she stole
one or two glances at him and smiled
covertly. She liked the square, clean
shaven jaws and strong mouth. Yet
there was scant liking in the look she
turned to him.
WELL 1 must say" she accused,
you are not highly entertaining. Your
best friend could hardly call you gar
rulous this afternoon"
Stanford was absorbedly following
the flight of a sea-bird. It's course
brought his eyes round to a point
where they almost met hers, but not
quite. For a moment she waited,
watching his face.
did your mother tell you not to
speak to me, little boy?"
She had leaned forward, the saucy,
dancing eyes challenging his.
The corners of his strong mouth
began to twitch. The reluctant smile
in his eyes covered a look so hurt that
for moment something clutched at
the girls heart
Whats the use of talking when /
always seem to say the wrong thing?"
His tone was respondent.
"Oh, you don't always say it,
do it, then"
Miss Hiemway drew up her small
figure and turned to him with much
dignity.
II WONDER" she said slowly, that
you dare mention that"
Look here"-Stanford raised himself
suddenly and looked at her with wrath
full eyes-'I want you to distinctly I'M
derstand that 1 had no desire whatever
to put my arm around you. I merely
did it to save you a ducking, that's
ALL
"Oh!"
Another pair of eyes now followed
the seagulPs flight, their blue dark
ened to indigo. The bird screamed
shrilly as though she felt their anger
an ill-omen.
Presently Miss Hiemway rose.
Il mink L snail go nome, she SAID
frigidly.
Stanford sprang to his feet
mo, thank YOU" she waved him
aside with one hand, 81 prefer to go
alone"
The path led through a sweet tangle
Of wild roses and berry blossoms. Be
XOnd lay the golf links, and further
still the row of pretty summer villas.
Stanford and Lois Hiemway had trod-
den it often during these summer
months. But to-day, in the absorption
of picturing a dozen different scenes,
in all of which he was abjectly at her
feet, those same members wandered
from the beaten track.
Ere she was aware she was stand
ing near one of the many granite
quarries which studded the coast.
Looking down in it's speckled depths
she almost forgot her quarrel with
Stanford. The immensely of 1t awed
her, and involuntarily she repeated
1.-THE sea is His and He made it, and
His hands prepared the dry land"
You'd better stand back, miss,
they're going to blast" The voice of
the Scotch foreman reused her.

cut a thin peel, allowing none of the
white pulp to adhere. Place in a bot

which will begin in a short time, will
amount to $50, 000, 900. OF this sum
the Pennsylvania budget sets aside
$50, 000. 900 for immediate use in New

Conference for Good Roads.

Governor Otero has received the of
fetal notification of the international
conference on the subject IF good
roads which will be held in Detroit on
February 13 and IA, in connection with
the annual meeting of the American
Road Makers. The conference will be
international in character, because re-
quests have been received from Cana
da and Mexico that they be permitted
to join it. In addition to the general
subject of betterment Of roads, two
special subjects will be considered.
The first question which will be taken
up is, will ii be wise and feasible to
formulate a general plan for the con
struction and maintenance of inter
capital connecting highways through
the cooperation of federal, state, coun-
ty and township governments, the sup
port from each of the political divis-
ions being graduated according to abil-
ity and other equitable considera-
tiOns?" The second great problem will
be to devise ways and means for per-
fecting and securing the passage of the
bill recently introduced in congress
by Mr.. Brownlow, of Tennessee, the
object of which is to create in the de-
partment Of agriculture a bureau to
be known as the bureau of public
roads, and 10 provide for a system of
national, state and local cooperation
in the permanent improvement of pub
lie highways.
Governor Otero is requested to APP
point ten delegates from New Mexico
