DINNERS FOR SMALL INCOMES.
Dishes Few in Number and Excellent
in Quality Should Be
the Aim.

Ordering the dinner is to any of us
women very serious and often try
ing ordeal, particularly when hampered
by the smallness of the housekeeping
allowance. We are apt then to think
how easy it is for our more lucky Sis
tiers who can buy the pick of the mar
ket and command the services of first
rate cooks, etc. We may find comfort
in the knowledge that 1t is by no
that the most enjoyable dinners are
served, says the American Queen.
The men of the family are more or,
less critical in regard to the principal
meal of the day, and it is best, for
the general peace, to spend a little
time in thinking out the menu and
yourself superintend the laying of the
table, so that you are sure the glass
and silver are irreproachable, and the
flowers freshly arranged.
Do not aim at a number of dishes.
A soup, joint or bird and a pudding,
with well-cooked vegetables, will be
ample, and may be varied another
night with fish, made dish of some
kind, and a savory, the last mentioned
frequently being preferred to any
sweet
There are so many inexpensive and
appetizing sweets and savories that no
one need be at a loss. more especially
if you or some members of your fam
lily understand enough cooking to pre-
pare some of the dishes yourself.

A Question of Nerve"

The hotel barber shop has its little
joke as we'll as any other part of the
house, says the Detroit Free Press.
In the tonsorial establishment of
one of the downtown hostelries yes

doctors was being operated upon
Nearby small barber shop had been
set up in business, with plate glass
mirrors, mahogany furniture and the
like, and was making great splash
for business.
'How's the new barber shop getting
on next door," asked the drummer of
enc of the BARRIERS.
"Oh. $685." was the reply. How
ever, we manage to keep at work"
he added, just to show that though
there may be buffers in" competi-
ton is the life of trade
Il suppose you do get a few still,
who don't see the other place." re-
marked the drummer.

OVERHEARD AT THE CAPITOL.

Secretary Taft's first official act was
to summon the war department car
penter and tell him to make a new
desk and chair and be quick about it.
Secretary Taft is six feet tall and
weighs 800 pounds. He could barely
squeeze into the chair used by Mr..
Root, and there was grave danger OF
it's breaking down. When he tried the
desk he discovered that the opening
was too small to admit his legs. The

THE REAL THING.
Tortoise Shell "Direct from TOrtot"
Where the Reptiles Were
Doubtless Raised.

Less genuine tortoise shell is imported
in New York from India now than there
has been for a great many years, owing to
the active efforts of the jams. This, says
the New York Times, is an influential sect
of humanitarians with headquarters at
Bombay, but with thriving communities
throughout the empire. Their mission on
behalf of the tortoise is much the same
as that of the Audubon societies in this
country with regard to birds. Great
cruelties, the jams allege, are practiced
in the tortoise shell trade, and they are
trying to stop it. A woman who had read
about this movement went into a Broad
way store and looked at some tortoise shell
combs.
But are they genuine?" she asked.
There are so many limitations in the
market now"
'fOh, yes, these are genuine" replied the
dealer. 1--WE get them from our own
agents, direct from Tortoi."
