Making the Garden.

N said no home is complete

"Yes indeed" said 1 cautiously.
Well, when Mrs. H. wanted garden
that settled it; so began preparations.
subscribed to farm and freside pa
per, in one department of which were
all the plans for the making of a sue
cessful garden. Mrs. H. bought a
book devoted to the subject and quoted
copiously from it. First" said she,
reading from that oracle, "frst select
small patch of ground near the
house."
"Good," said I, eve shall select our
back yard"
"Yes," she said.
"Go on" said L; "what next 2"
"Plough up the sod"-she COM
menced.
"Hold on" said 1. "We've got no
plough"
swell, suppose we can dig it up
with shovel or pick, can't we?" she
asked.
Eyes, our fire shovel is admirably
adapted to plough up that sun-baked
stretch of desert"
"You're making fun already, but Pm
going to have garden" said Mrs. H.,
on the verge of tears.
"Let's hire man to plough it up"
"No, sir, then it wouldn't be any fun
at ALL"
30 we'll, it's only for fun, let's do it
ourselves. What's next?"
Mrs. H. continued: "With the har-
row go over the ground thoroughly
breaking up the clods."
"We've got no harrow" I began, but
seeing Mrs. HIS supplicating look, 1
said, "but we can rake it pretty good.
Go on, what next? ?"
"Divide," said she, still reading, "di-
vide the ground into sections; in one
place the seeds for turnips, in another
the seeds for beets."

meaning. That noble sentence which
alone will forever put the stamp of
greatness upon the brow of the man
whose lips gave it utterance, in which
he declares that 1T is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task re-
naming before us,-that from these
h0nored dead we take increased devo-
tion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure Of DEVOTION
that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain,-that
this nation, under God, shall have
new birth of freedom, and that gov
ernment of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth,' will fall upon thousands of
unheeding ears today, and very few
will ponder them as they deserve to be
pondered.
"The levity, the thoughtIessness, dis
played by the people at a time when
every eye should look inward, when
every soul should undergo rigid self
examination, augur no good to this or
the coming generation. This thought
lessness, this indifference, will yet serve
as rungs in the ladders of ambitious
men, who will first corrupt, and then
enslave the nation"
When the veteran had brought his
remarks to a close only conventional
politeness restrained me from laughing
at him. But as the years pass by, as
political corruption increases, as ma
terialism spreads, and the rights of
man are lost sight of, I am more and
more inclined, or rather compelled,
forced by the prevailing conditions, to
believe that my instructor did not alto
gether mislnterpret the signs of the
times. Yet there is hope. There seems
to be an awakening of the public con-
science, and here ana there, sometimes
in places and under conditions where
it would be least expected, men and
women are beginning to THINK, and
a handful of true hearted patriots are
erecting altars upon which the coming
generations may again burn incense to
liberty, pure and undefiled. 5599.

NOVEL SOFA PILLOWS.
In Many Styles Intended for Utility
or Show.

There are pillows for show and pillows
for utility in abundance shown in the shop
windows To the former class belong those
which seem to be most popular and an
eccentric craze for the bizarre in decorat-
ing these pillows is the latest fad. Instead
of using cord and tassels to give the de-
sired finish, all sorts of odd ornaments are
conspicuously employed. and the corners
appear grotesque.
A white satin pillow with a ping-pong
table and an almond-eyed maiden at each
end of it has tiny pfng-pong balls hanging
from the corners on slender gilt cords.
Another pillow-the tennis girls favorite
shows an athletic maid at one of her IA
vorite out-of-door sports Each corner OF
the pillow has a cluster of miniature ten
mis- racquets depending therefrom.
A prime factor in a coy corner is a cush-
ion OF green burlap, embroidered with red
Iaffia, The design is of clusters of cher
ries. The realism of this pillow is further
carried out by having the corners finished
with large punches of notwithstanding vel
vet cherries on green wire stem.
Even the yachting girl has her cushion.
One made of green denim has a coil of rope,
an anchor and a pretty yachting girl on it.
The edge is finished with a Manila rope,
which is knotted at the corners and from
which hang tiny Indian canoes and paddles
a Japanese soft pillow which shows a
pagoda design has the corners finished with
little Jap dolls, three in a group. Their
broad scarlet sashes of ribbon are tied
kimona fashion, and extend around the
entire pillow, finishing it with an immense
bow at one corner.
A pine needle pillow is of tinted brown
cloth and has brown cones and needles
worked it. 1t has the legend May
thy sumber be sweet as the balmy fir"
To emphasize this wish, long clusters of
pine cones hang from the corners of the
pillow.
Marine pillows have sea shell ornaments
at the corners, and some of them are
quantity pretty, even if they are not prac-
teal. Sometimes the shells are made into
fringe to ornament the cushion.
Nor is the grotesque alone favored. An
artistic cushion is of white satin with vio-
let's embroidered on it with ribbons At
each corner a big bunch of ribbon violets
well scented, are attached to carry out
the illusion. Violet velvet ribbon is tied
about the stems in long loops and ends
pansy pillow, which has a painted
wreath of this blossom on a pale pink sur
face, has clusters of panses at the corners
and garland of pansies festooned on rib
bon caught from corner to corner This
idea of using artificial flowers will probably
last longer than the fad of attaching small
stems. wampum and toys of all sorts to
sofa pillow corners.

From Success.
This habit of always doing ones best
enters into the very marrow of ones heart
and character; it affects ones bearing, ones
self-possession. The man who does every
thing to finish has "a feeling of serenity;
he is not easily thrown off his balance; he
has nothing to fear, and he can look the
world in the face because he feels conscious
that he has not put shoddy into anything,
that he has had nothing to do with shams,
and that he has always done his level best.
The sense of efficiency, of being master of
ones craft, of being equal to any emer-
gency the consciousness of possessing the
ability to do with superiority whatever one
undertakes will give soul satisfaction which
half hearted slipshod worker never
knows.
When a man feels throbbing within him
the power to do what lie undertakes well
as it can possibly be done, and all his fac
ulties say Amen" to what he is doing and
give their unqualified approval to his eff
forts-this is happiness, this is success. This
buoyant sense of power spurs the faculties
to their fullest development. 1t unfolds the
mental the moral and the physical forces,
and this very growth, the consciousness of
an expanded mentality and of a broadening
horizon, gives an added satisfaction beyond
the power of words to describe. 1t is re-
alization of nobility, the divinity of the

FOR EASTER BRIDES
THE BRIDAL SET FOR KEEPING
DAINTY LINGERIE.
Makes an Attractive Gift-Emb roid-
cred Counterpart and Pillow
Shams Also Favored.
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The newest thing in gifts for the Easter
bride is the bridal set. This consists of a
corset bag, corset bow, hose supporters and
pair of ribbon bands to hold the daintiest
lingerie All are made to match of some
delicate colored ribbon, or of pure white
ribbon.
The corset bag, is an indispensable adj
junct for the trousseau, for ribbon and silk
stays soil easily when left exposed to dust
The corset bag of one bridal set was
about seven by sixteen inches, and of pure
white satin ribbon. Forget-me-nots were
embroidered with blue ribbons on the bag,
which was finished at the top with the
frayed ribbon Narrow white satin ribbons
were run through the bag two inches from
the top for draw strings. The bag was
lined with pale blue India silk. and sachet
powder was sprinkled in the folds OF the
lining
The corset bow which went with this set
was also of blue satin ribbon, bat instead
of the old conventional oblong pad, with
bow in the center, it was made in new
way. 1t was about four and half by ten
inches, and of white satin ribbon Forget
me-notS We're also embroidered on this pad.
Instead of a ribbon bow at the top, there
was a putting of ribbon, which, when drawn
up, formed rosette. At the same time 1t
partment below lined with channels was for
money. 1t was therefore, a combination
pad jewel and money bag.
The hose supporters were of white satin
ribbon and white silk elastic, and had gold
clasps on which forget-me-nots were paint
ed. Fagoting played an important part in
the making of the carriers, which were fin
ished with attractive bows.
For the bands, three-inch white satin rib
bon was used. This was shirred on both
edges and stitched to a pale blue India silk
lining, which was padded and scented. A
large bow covered the clasp on top. For
get-me-nots were embroidered on the rib
bon ends Each piece had the monogram
of the bride-eIect embroidered on it.
Another Easter bridal gift, which COM
bines originality with thoughtfulness. is
Counterpart and pillow shams made of
sheerest India linen. on which forget-me-
nots are embroidered.
The Counterpart was made the desired
size of two breadths of linen and hem
stitched. 1t was then stretched on quilt
ing frame and embroidered. Then 1t was
pressed and folded in a square tied with
blue and white satin ribbons.
Toilet articles to match were also en-
broidered. These consisted of dresser scarf,
table spread, mats and sash curtains.

net, quilted into a single narrow ruch-
ing, edges the cape. The hat is colonial
shape of black tulle and straw, garnished
with white plumeS.
Trimmings usually associated by the
layman with old fashioned ideas are used
upon many of the French gowns with
charmingly simple effect. White and black
and colorad footngs quilted together
into headings; baby ribbons are run on lace,
which is afterward kilt pleated, and many
a quantity full skirt or flowing sleeve will
display the foolish puffings in the same
material as the long-ago The silk waists
are, to a large extent, full with lace or
mousselne blouse effects under the deep
collars, the sleeves of these elaborate and
accompanying skirts always trimmed.
Here and there a princes effect is seen,
one such gown of royal blue cloth being
set off by magnificent fringe in the same
color. But the three-piece costume-skirt.
bodice and Jacket or cape-to judge by its
predomnance over other styles, is to be
the most favored. Immensely wide
belts also distinguished these, and they are
made of kid for wool textures and of satin
or panne for silk or lace ones A fitted
plainness, which is held trim by whalebone,
succeeds the old crush effects for these de-
tails. Indeed, the new belts are, so to speak,
half the bodice, and the coats which ac-
company. them hang short enough to leave
their charms in full view.
Solid Colors.
A pretty coat used with one wide belt
effect hung in kits from a yoke, whose
plain shoulder pieces extended down into
the full pleated sleeves. With these kinks
for cut solid colors are to be the order
of the new day for all-wool textures and
the plain veiIings long worn will be more
than ever to the fore. For such soft wool
textures, which appear in great quantities
among the Easter materials, silk passemen-
terfes are the latest trimmings supplied.
Shown in all the latest colors, these effec-
tive furnishings are in band borders, odd
applications and swinging button shape.
charming gown of silk and wool mixture
displayed by a prominent faiseuse for
Easter is in one of the rich bluing blues for
which the winter introduced a taste. Net
and louisine in the same color are employed
with this, the odd boiero opening over a
chemisette of white null.
Though lace can never be out of fashion,
it is not nearly so much in demand as
ing now combined with dressy summer ma
terials. Few all-lace gowns and entire
bodices are seen-unless these latter are
covered with collar of the gown material
and If lace is used as a trimming, the tend
ency is to set bizarre colorings aside and
stick to honest black, white and cream.
white French lace of a quality that
looks by no means expensive is employed
with black ribbon velvet upon the bodice of
dainty little frock in pale gray wolfe. The
skirt of this is in the full falling model
which has succeeded definite goring for all
textures. A deep flounce is headed by two
narrower ones, the trio trimmed each with
two small bases of the gown texture.

How to Bone a Bird

From Fannie Merritt Farmers Food and Cook
cry for the Sick and Conyalescent.'
In buying birds for boning, select those
which have been fresh killed, dry picked
and not drawn. SINCE, remove pin-feathers,
head and feet, and cut off wings close to
body. Lay bird on a board, breast down.
Begin at neck and with sharp knife cut
through the skin the entire length of body.
Scrape the flesh from backbone until end of
one shoulderblade is found; scrape flesh
from shoulderblade and continue around
wing joint, cutting through tendinous por-
lions which are eneountered; then bone
other side. Scrape skin from backbone the
entire length of body, working across the
ribs. Free wishbone and collarbones, at
same time removing crop and windpipe;
continue down breastbone, particular care
being taken not to break the skim as it
lies very near bone. or to cut the delicate
membranes which inclose entrails. Scrape
flesh from second joints and drumsticks,
laying it back and drawing off as glove
may be drawn from the hand. Withdraw
carcass and put flesh back in Its original
shape.

Sailors are taking on again the round

ciumps of simple flowers and scarfs OF

Satin fruit mingled with blossoms. pur-
pie larkspurs, budding twigs and cabbage
roses are some of the ornaments of the
new millinery, whose prime intention, to
get at the most important point of all, Is
to bend to the requirements of the indi-
vidual head. Merely to own a new head
piece at Easter is not sufficient for the
slave drivers of fashion. 1t must look as
if it were born for the wearer-this cor
oral as often as destroying as beautify-
ing; it must fit the head at every point, be
suave. appealing and yet not challenge
the first glance.
Effective hand coverings among the
new things are of black and white silk
with colored stitching at the back. Such
gloves button as do kid gloves and fit the
hand as correctly. When in tint match
ing the gown, for all the new colors are
also shown, they seem elegant.

The Corsets Question.

Women are tired of hearing the opinion
of artists and advanced women about the
wearing OF corsets. corset as a stay Is
q real comfort and necessity for the
woman who desires to be at ease, but has
no wish to feel herself folding up when
she sits down like an accordion out of
commission. Corsets nowadays are COM
Portable. One of the highest authorities
says: II do not hesitate to state that the
present correctly made straight-front corset,
correctly selected, is superior hygienically
to any corset ever devised Most women
of today are wearing a straight-front COR
set or think they are. AS matter of fact,
there are many of the old-shaped corsets
with the old curved front masquerading
as straight fronts.

Of White Barege.

rough look is denied by a delightful softness

This handsome gown is shown by the
Easter galaxy, but white, it is said, is to
play second fiddle this summer to delicate
colors. Nevertheless, radiant wool and linen
canvases are shown in white, and since
white is more universally becoming than
color, it will doubtless be difficult to shelve

The Floral Muf.

Among the new departures in gifts for
bridesmaids is the flower muff. 1t forms
a pretty as yell as serviceable present
for it is by no means the fragile thing it
seems. The flowers are fixed on founda-
ton, into which the real muff is slipped,
and this may be of sable, ermine, moleskin
or, In fact, whatever the generosity or
means of the bridegroom may suggest.
