eternal feminine crops out
IL wherever you find petticoat-
ed being" said the woman who
had spent last summer travelling on
the Coast.
1--WE put in good many days driv-
ing through out-of-the-way regions
among the mountains and the foothills,
and think | was never 50 sorry for
women anywhere as I 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.
Il remember one hot day last Au-
gust when we were driving from the
railroad away up into the mountains
in Calaveras county. The road was SO
little travelled that it was grass grown,
and often we had difficulty in follow
ing the track, there was so little sign
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 for two hours, and
at first thought the little white ranch
house looked very cosy and homelike.
And it was in beautiful situation on
the gently sloping mountainside, with
the higher mountains towering in the
distance and the great woods in the
background and a rolling plain spread
ing out in front
But as we came nearer it seemed
almost uncanny, it was so prefectly
quiet. 1t was like dead mans ranch,
for everything about the place was
absolutely still But presently I saw
woman's figure come to window,
and as we stopped at the front gate,
two or three hundred yards from the
house, to see if we could get a drink
Of water, she came out and walked
down to the gate. I've often thought

since what a blessing, what delight.
our two or three minutes halt at her
gate must have been to that solitary
woman
But what do you suppose she look
ed like Now, there's where the 'eter-
nal feminine comes in. You must re-
member that she was all alone it'll that
house from daylight till dark. that ii
wasn't likely she even saw ANYBODY
drive past her front gate oftener than
once a week, and that we hadn't seen
a human being for a dozen miles. But
she wore white shirt-waist and an
embroidered tie and linen skirt that
were all Of them just as crisp and i'm
maculate and as beautifully done Up
as II they had just come from a
French laundry.
She looked as if she might Be fifty
years old, and her hair was iron gray.
But it was curled in about thou
sand little ringlets that hung in a mass
below her shoulders, and all over her
head it was deliberately waved and
pulled. 1t must have taken her ali
hour to do those ringlets, for each one
was as smooth and soft and glossy as
it could be-
Maybe she did her hair that wav
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,
and told her how becoming it was, and
SO she still did it the same way. all

aged and lived on all isolated ranch

he average american has roast
beef for dinner almost every
4 Sunday of the year, as we'll as
on several, other days Of the
week.
What to do with the cold beef is as
serious question with the American
housewife as What to do with the
cold mutton" is with the English
housekeepef. People get tired of cold
beef and the ordinary beef stew is an
abomination. How to utilize cold fish
IS also another serious question in the
household.
Here are directions for making a
stew of cold beef which, if carefully
followed, will result in a savory and
delicious dish. and will be as attrac-
tive in appearance as it is excellent in
flavor. Following the directions for
making the stew of cold beef are di-
rections for cooking over cold fish.
A Stew of Cold Roast Beef.
Cut the meat from the bones, put all
the bones in big kettle over the fire,
just cover them with water, and let
them boil with the kettle or sauce pan
closely covered while you prepare the
ingredients for the stew. Cut the meat
in nice, regular half-inch dices, and
measure it. To a pint of the cut beef,
well pressed down in the measure, al
low two large potatoes, one good
sized carrot or two punches of the
small new carrots, half of medium
sized yellow turnip, two good-sized
onions, two or three sprigs of parsley,
half of lemon, two bay leaves, and
half pint of sherry
Peel, wash and cut up the vegetables
in the same sized dices as the meat.
except the onions, which must be
sliced. When all are prepared, put a
layer Of the beef in a deep earthen
baking dish; then layer of the vege-
tables, with one bay leaf and one
slice of the half lemon; then layer of
the meat and layer of the vegetables,
using the lemon and bay leaf in occas
ional layers.
Continue this process till all the ma
terial is used, then sprinkle the top
with the parsley chopped very fine.
Strain the water from the beef bones
over the whole. Add any beef gravy

that may have been left Pour in the
sherry, season well with salt, freshly
ground black pepper and a little red
pepper, and dust the top with flour
Cover the whole closely with a
thick earthenware plate, and over the
top put a common paste shortened
with drippings, for the paste is not to
be eaten, but is put on simply to ex-
clude the air.
Put the dish in the oven and let the
stew cook gently for four hours, then
remove the crust and plate and pour
the whole on hot platter and serve.
Garn1sh the edge Of the platter with
sliced tomatoes and sprigs of parsley.
be sure not to stir the stew in pour
ing 1t on the platter, but slip it gently
out of the dish The beauty Of this
stew is the unbroken dices of beef and
vegetables.
How to Utilize Cold Fish.
To make a delicious dish of cold
boiled Goldfish, halibut or of anv good
fresh boiled fish left over from the day
before, separate the flakes of fish with
a fork, and remove Ill bones and skin.
Put a few little pats of butter in the
bottom OF medlum-sized or small bak-
ing dish, cover the butter with LAYER
OF fish flakes, and dust in very light
layer Of bread crumbs and very little
grated onion.
Add a few pats of butter and con-
tlnue this process till all the fish is
used. Only dust about every other
layer with the bread crumbs.
Pour half pint Of cream over the
whole, dust in little powdered mace,
cover the top with bread crumbs and
pats OF butter, season with plenty of
salt and pepper, and bake in a quick
oven till rich brown covers the top.
Serve in the dish in which it is baked,
with quarters of lemon.

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 a blue pattern on which i
printed wild pink roses in a sprawling'
design. Another one in navy blue
shows 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 retroverting to the
voluminous styles Of our grandmoth-
ers' hoop skirt days

the Easter season comes

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-out 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-
ton, they can be remodeled.
The spring ball season belongs to
the debutante. It is essentially girls
season, and the new dance frocks are
charmingly diaphahous and youth
full. 1t is noticeable that delicate co.'s
ors are worn in preference to pure
white, and the greater number of the
most elegant Partisan models-in
Paris the young girl is dressed to
perfection-are made with the baby
corsage and low, round neck.

GREAT WORK OF BIBLE
SOCIETY RECOUNTED

WASHINGTON, March 6.-President and
Mrs Roosevelt, Justice Brewer. of the
United States Supreme Court, Senator Dol
liver of Iowa, the British ambassador and
Lady Durand and many other persons
prominent in official. diplomatic and social
circles attended the service to-day in COM
memoration of the one-hundredth anniver-
sary of the British and Foreign Bible So
ciety at st. Johns Episcopal Church. JUS
tice Brewer and Senator Dolliver were the
principal speakers DR.. Nathaniel C. Gill
man, president of the American Bible So
cety. presided and made few remarks in
which he said that during the lifetime of
the British and American societies they
had circulated 250,000O00 copies of the Bible
and parts of the Bible TO the nations of the
world
Justice Brewer said the poorest way to
estimate the value of a life, whether of an
individual or an organization, is by num-
bering the years. We should count by
deeds, not years. So, said he, celebrate
the anniversary of the British Bible So
ciety not so much because it has endured
for century, but because of the gigantic
good it has accomplished.
Justice Brewer declared that the greatest
glory of this Nation lies in the fact that
ever and always ii has striven to translate
into the vernacular of international law the
parable of the good Samaritan and the
golden rule.
Senator Dolliver said that the Bible So
ciety had contributed more than any other
influence TO unite the creeds of christendom
into one grand whole, representing univer-
sal christianity.
