ENGLISH silks.


There is no doubt about it that the
most deliberately plenished wardrobe
requires absolute simplicity as the
characteristic of some of its details.
and this applies very emphatically to
the morning shirt. Smart though the
white lingerie one is, 1t is not always
desirable to wear it. and SO there ar
rives an opportunity for the tailor
made model called the Gibson Girl.
with its neatly stitched pleats and its
general air of practical utility.
There are being sold now some ex-
cellent English silks that wear very
well, and are rot expensive.
They should be made with a neck
band like that of a mans shirt. and a
deep white linen collar should be
worn with them, with little tie ar
ranged in a bow in front. Supposing
there should be in the possession of
the wearer set of pretty studs and
cuff links. they should be brought into
instant requisition.

A New Chocolate Cake.

Pound to a paste one-quarter of a
pound of sweet unpeeled almonds;
take the same amount of chocolate
and fresh butter, four very fresh eggs.
one-half pound powdered sugar and
three tablespoonfuls of sifted flour.
Melt the chocolate in as little water
as possible over a slow fire, and when
1T is reduced to a paste add the other
ingredients, with the exception of the
whites of the four eggs. Beat the
mixtures for couple of minutes, then
butter charlotte mold and stir in the
whites of the eggs, which have not
been previously beaten, merely stirred
vigorously. Fill the mold and bake in
a moderate oven for forty-five min
utes. until it reaches a golden tint;
then turn it out and cover with choc-
olate icing.

JOBS THAT ARE IN DEMAND.
English Civil Service Appointments
EAGERLY Looked for.

"Once a civil servant always a civil
servant" appears to be the motto OF
the English civil service. for unless
one proves dishonest or an extraordi-
narily poor workman he is retained in
service until the age limit is reached
and the salary list is exchanged for
the pension roll.
Unlike the civil service in the Unit.
ed States, there is no strong partisan
ship: appointees hold their positions,
no matter which party may be in pow
er.
The pay is not large. even in view
of the small cost of living in England.
Fifteen dollars is about the limit o.
weekly payment in the Postofice de-
partment. though some of the execu-
tive positions pay as high as $1,000 a
year. The Excise department is IA
vored branch. the pay starting a.
$3.50 year. This is raised by a year
ly increases of $25 until the pay
reaches $500 and after year is
jumped to $575. From there on the
pay jumps rapidly to s1,250 yearly.
and II the officer is fortunate in at last
arriving at the dignity of collector he
draws $4,000 yearly.
Parliamentary clerkships run f0e
$500 to $4,000 a year, and the Navy
department will run clerk up to
$1,000 If he reaches the importance of
fleet paymaster.
In spite of the small salaries the
places are eagerly sought. since it
means life position. with a pension
for ones declining years.

SAMPLES OF AMERICAN HuMoR.
Not Always Subtle, but Exceedingly
Rich and Fertile.

Prof. H. G. Lord, of Columbia. was
talking in Philadelphia about Amer

said, SIS not, perhaps. subtle. 1t is too
young to be subtle. But it is very
much alive, and very rich and fertile.
There is story about absent
minded people that is, l think. good
example of American humor. 1t runs,
in short passages, like this:
"A woman put her baby's dirty
clothes in the cradle and the baby in
the wash tub. She didn't discover
her mistake till the child cried when
she pinned its left leg to the line as
she hung 1t out to dry.
"A man, about to go for a ride,
clapped the saddle on his own back.
He didn't discover his mistake till he
became exhausted with trying to
mount himself.
Another man put his dog to bed
and kicked himself downstairs. He
didn't discover his mistake till he be-
gan to yelp and the dog began to
snore.
"A doctor put fee in a patients
hand and took the medicine himself.
He didn't discover his mistake till the
patient got well and he became ill.,

suaarsd Sweet Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are never better
than when cooked in the southern
style and baked with sugar Boil and
peel the sweet potatoes and cut them
lengthwise into slices. Arrange them
in layers in a pudding dish, treating
each layer to butter and sugar in the
proportion of a heaping tablespoonful
of butter and cup of sugar to each
quart of the potatoes. The sugar

Lord Says His Country Needs I'm
migration Restriction.

Lord Brassey, accompanied by
Lady Brassey and Capt. Parkingham,
inspected Ellis island recently and
was the guest of Commissioner
Watchorn at luncheon. Before leav-
ing the island Lord Brassey praised
the system Of the immigration in
spection.
Il am turning to study of the i'm
migration question:" he said.
This is because in my own coun-
try it has become necessary to study
this question. England is in need of
some kind of a restriction on the i'm
migrants who are pouring in. We
get the immigrants rejected by this
country. Your country gets the best
stock, while the inferior is admitted
by us by one hand and fed and cared
for by the other. This is becoming
a serious drain on the national
charity.
Il have stood for the policies of
your country all my life. as far as
they were adaptable to the English
people. l believe in the unity of
English-speaking people, and shall
always work to that end. 1 am also
a believer in the laboring man and
champion of his cause"

Ribbon Work.

Ribbon work in various forms and
devices is applied to the waistcoats
and fronts this season, and very beau
tiful are the designs carried out on
some of the new examples. Old-fash-
Toned brocades in pearl gray, oyster
pink, white and the faintest shades of
blue. green and mauve. are used as the
basis of these schemes, the ribbon be-
ing worked into gathered borders with
trains of flowers running down on
either side, supplemented with EN-
broidered leaves. Rows of ribbon con
nected with hairpin work and hanked
with button motifs ornamented with
lace centers provide another effective
device which is simple enough for the
home embroideress to carry out her

A Sugar Anecdote.

A famous parliamentary anecdote
hinges on sugar. Pitt Uord Chat

West Indian slave question, began his
speech: Sugar, Mr.. Speaker" the Pc
culiarity of its commencement elicit
ing roar of laughter from the house.
Nothing daunted, Pitt began. Sugar,

newed. but not so vehemently. A
third time the great orator reiterated
the same formula in a voice of thun.
der, turning round about with a look
which effectively stopped any further
display of visibility and amid perfect
silence continued his speech.

Gov. Marcus Morton's Rents.

The late Gov. Marcus A. Morton,
whose old home in Taunton, Mass.
is now the Morton hospital, was as
careless in his dress as he was pune
tual in collecting his rents. 1t was
no uncommon sight to see him walk
ing the streets without stockings, the
expanse between the bottom of his
trousers legs and his shoes reveal
ing that fact to the public.
One day as the governor passed
down the street a fiutter of white be-
meath his coat-tails gave mute testi-
mony of the need of repairs in which
his trousers stood. In group of
iders was wag who was also one

Wolfe Is Lovely Fabric,

In the wool voiles every day brings
cut new fancy effects, and more beau
tiful ones. Probably it is the exquis-
iteness of the seasons colors, their
softness, delicacy, adaptability. that
makes the materials seem more beau
tiful than ever before. but the designs
for weaving. embroidering and print
ing are certainly lovely.
Among the new fancy voiles are
some in fine checks. with little
squares woven in open work design
like large checks throughout the ma
terial. and over the surface at two
Inch intervals are embroidered little
dots in the darker of the two colors.
