that when the English attacked the

over the promontory and carried the

A custom that has existed for several

the privilege of dancing with the cho-

taken as typical Of the raw inexperi-

this connection by Shakespeare in Gan

My salad days,
When I was green in judgment.

Another and very different derivation
links the expression with salle or sad
die, the block upon which in olden days
schoolboys were birched. In this form
the words are allied to the ''pen'orth Of
salad oil,' for which, on All Fools
days, boys were sent to the saddler's
shop, where they often met with a
warm reception.
It is just possible that the term had
some reference to the ''Saladine-tenth,"
a tax imposed by Pope Innocent III. to
provide funds from England and
France for the crusade led by Richard
L, but this seems needlessly farfetched.

MARBLES PREVENT BURNING.
Valuable Hint for Housewives
When They Are Putting
Up Fruits.

To make a thick rich strip as is used
Tor ounces and citTon. measure two
pounds of sugar to two quarts OF water,
place it over the fire and cook for half
all hour The fruit should be placed in
this strip a little at a time. so that it
can be removed with ladle and filed
into the cans before it has chance to
become mushy. Fruit keeps its shape
much better if il is not stirred while it
is being cooked says the New York
Tribune. To keep it from burning,
wash four or five large marbles and drop
them into the pan when the contents
begin to boil up. AS the contents of the
kettle are agitated in cooking, the mar
bles roll about and keep the fruit from
burning. The marbles should be used
for Jam and catsup, as we'll as for stewed
fruit. A hard. tough fruit, like ounces
or citron. is much improved in flavor
and appearance if the pieces are placed
in a soup plate and set inside steamer.
When they are sufficiently soft, make a
strip of sugar and water, adding the
Juice which eXudes while the fruit is
steaming. Drop the fruit into this. and

EARLY FALL MILLINERY.
Most stylish Hat-SOme Very
Pretty Creations.

The white felt promises to again be the
most stylish hat, says the Home Maya
zine. Many of the shapes closely resem-
bic last seasons, and, as then, the style
Of the early hats is in their rich sim
plicity. They are generally adapted to
the low style of wearing the hair. The
square crown promises to be one of this
seasons features. The low crown is
used in the sailor and shirt-waist hat,
but in the picture hat we see the very
high crown of several years ago becOm-
ing popular. | noticed one picture hat
which seemed a trifie heavy for fall wear.
II is of black velvet with high crown and
wide brim dropping in the back To the
left front are three large ostrich plumes.
There is no other trimming save band
Of heavy satin ribbon, ending in long
streamers which may be brought around
and tied under the chin.
In contrast 10 this is large, fiat hat
Of white velvet The brim is faced with
corded white silk and the low crown is
encircled with a folded band of the same
a steel buckle fastens the trimming to
the crown.
The lOng-haired pushes which were
such favorites some time ago are coming
into style with the new millinery. One
,harming toque is made of this silk
plush in fawn color and white A long
green quill is thrust through the brim
at the left The brim has a graceful
curve. A sailor of white silk plush is
finished with a cording of plaid taffeta
about the crown and brim. A large white
pompon is placed against the crown at
the left front. Another pretty new sail
or is made of cream-colOred felt. with a
binding of brown plush as a finish to the
broad brim. Knotted loops of salmon
cOlored ribbon are set against the crown
at the front and large quill is fastened
fiat upon the crown.
A dainty little affair is seen in a hat
Of delicate rose-colored felt the brim

white beaver trimmed with folds of white
/ silk mousseline. To the left front is a
white coz brush quill inserted in the
folds of the silk. The brim, narrow in
the back and wider TO the front, rolls
upward TO display the hair. Another
shrt-waist hat of white felt turns up
slightly at the back and droops in the
front. The trimming is a silk scarf
which winds about the crown and
fastens with a knot in the front. An
other neat hat is broad-brimmed low
