VV3ITH the Easter season comes
\AJ the renewal OF social fes-
Wv Invites, which will be pro-
longed until the world Of
fashion goes a-Maying to its coun-
try estates. There is at this moment
succession of balls, dances, dinners
and coming-ou functions. All these
affairs demand fresh toilettes. In fact
ante Lenten evening frocks which
show signs Of usage had best be laid
aside altogether until next winter,
when, having grown out of recollec-
tion they can be remodeled.
The spring ball season belongs to
the dcbutante. 1t is essentially a girls
season, and the new dance frocks are
charmingly diaphanous and youth
full 1t is noticeable that delicate col
ors are worn III preference to pure
white, and the greater number OF the
most elegant Partisan models-in

once a week, and that we hadn't seen
a human being for a dozen miles But
she wore a white shirt-waist and an
embroidered tie and linen skirt that

maculate and as beautifully done up

maybe she did her hair that way
because she was glad of something to
do that would help her to forget how
lonely she was, but figured it out
that she had worn it in that fashion
when she was young, and that her
husband had liked it and admired it.

New Sash Ribbons.

Pongee sash ribbons alone will be
considered in good taste for the pom
gee gown, which is to be popular this
summer. These ribbons are of silk
equal in quality to that Of the gowns,
and the shades are exquisite.
A ribbon in the natural color OF
pongee has 4 blue pattern on which i
printed wild pink roses in a sprawling
design. Another one in navy blue
shows a mass Of daisies with the petals
falling in some places.
Other sash ribbons are shown as
wide as twelve inches. which indicates
that fashions are retrovertlng to the
voluminous styles Of our grandmoth-

women anywhere as was for the
women on those isolated ranches out
there. Sometimes they are miles from
any other ranch house, and so many
more miles from a railroad or a post
Office or a church that it makes you
dizzy to think OF it.
And when there is only one woman
in the family she has often to stay
all day long alone in the house while
the men are gone to some distant part
Of the ranch from morning till night.
81 remember one hot day last Au-
gust when we were driving from the
railroad away tip into the mountains
in Calaveras county The road was so
little travelled that it was grass-grown,
and often we had difficulty in follow

of wheels or horses feet About mid
afternoon we came in sight OF some
ranch buildings
They were the first sign of human
habitation. or even Of human beings,
that we had seen Tor two hours, and
at FIRST I thought the little white ranch
house looked very cosy and homelike-
And it was in a beautiful situation on
the gently sloping mountalnside, with
the higher mountains towering IN the
distance and the great woods IN the
background and a rolling plain spread

But as we came nearer II seemed
almost uncanny, il was so pretectly

"HE average American has roast
beef for dinner almost every
i Sunday of the year, as we'll as
on several other days Of the

What to do with the cold beef is as
serious a question with the American
housewife as What to do with the
cold mutton is with the English

beef and the ordinary beef stew is an
abomination. How to utilize cold fish
is also another serious question in the
household.

stew OF cold beef which. If carefully
followed, will result in a savory and
delicious dish. and will be as attrac-

the bones in a big kettle over the fire,

measure it. To pint Of the cut beef,
