Stepnothers.

Vice Chancellor Pitkin of Jersey
City never knew Of stepmother who
was good mother" There may be
such instances ON record, he admits,
"but.I know of none, and l have had
some experience"
1t must be admitted that the STEP
mother has bad name, particularly
in fiction. Who ever heard of popu-
lar, best-selling novel in which the
heroine was stepmother? There is
none. The stepmother's part in fic-
ton is to prosecute the fearful hero
inc and perhaps wreck her life. The
stepmOther of fiction has a sharp face
and sharp tongue, and rarely misses
an opportunity to wound sensitive
young souls.
But the stepmother of fact is usually
quite a different person. Certain in
dividuals Of scientific habits who have
dabbled in the domestic relations be-
lives that it would be better for most
children II they could be brought up
by stepmOthers instead of mothers.
The stepmother generally has all the
maternal instinct that any healthy
child needs while she is not likely to
be victim of the delusion that her
stepchildren are so much better than
other peoples children that it is an
impenetrable mystery why they do
not die young. But, of course, there
are stepmothers and stepmothers, and
doubtless the woman who makes
poor stepmother would make
poor mother If she had children of her
own.
AS popular prejudice the aversion
to stepmothers has little more basis
in fact than the aversion to mothers
fn-law. Most men, in spite of the pro-
fessional humorists, are on excellent
terms with their mothers-in-law, and
most women who have married daugh-
tiers are excessively fond of their sons

This unique method of announcing
her engagement was employed by a
Western girl; the young man lived

Der Of the girls friends received an
invitation for an informal musicale"
On assembling they were handed
programmes ornamented with bow of
white satin ribbon and with hearts
sprinkled dainty over the surface of
the card. At the top was written:
An evening with the bride-elect," and
the following programme was written
on the inside page:

Raspberries.

The delicious flavor of the rasp-
berry seems to be especially brought
out in cooking, and is exceptionally
good in iced desserts. The following
rule for canned raspberries Is a fav-
orite one: FIJI quart jars with rasp-
berries that have been carefully pick
ed over. Add to each jar a cup of SUI
gar, and fill up the spaces around the
berries with water. Place the lars In
a large boiler or pan containing water
and let the water boil around the ber-
ries for five minutes. Then seal the
jars. This is a cheaper way Of put
ting up fruit than the favorite method
OF canning 1t in its own Juice. BY the
former method. however, the berries
lose none of their delicious flavor. OF
course. they will not be as rich and
sweet as If done up in the usual way,
but many housewives will consider
this an advantage.
Raspberries served with fresh and
uncooked for supper are better If
sprinkled with sugar and allowed to
stand a while before serving.
For a raspberry ice cream, boil two
quarts of raspberries with pint of
sugar for about ten minutes. Squeeze
as much of the pulp and Juice as pos
sible through cheesecloth bag and
add it slowly to pint of boiling milk
Freeze Immediately, and when it is
ready to pack, stir in pint of stiffly
beaten cream.
Brilliant Marriages by Southern Girls.
A Southern woman married to
New Yorker and identified now for
many years with smart New York life,
yet Southern woman still through
and through, was lunching with me
recently, says a woman writer in the
New Orleans Picayune; and in our
chat she spoke very frankly of the
jealousy in New York society of
Southern women. Because" she add
ed. they have snatched so many plums
from the very fingers of New York
mammas with daughters to marry"
This sort of thing began long ago.
she said, and it has grown worse and
worse with the years and found its
most tragic climax in the marriage of
young Aston to Mrs. Mamie Lang
borne Shaw. Now, young Aston, ever
since he got out of his eton jacket into
a frock coat and long trousers has
been the holy matrimonial grail
toward which New York mammas have
been steering. OF course, young Aston
was expected in the natural order of
things to marry some young girl and
not woman who had been already
married-an expectation, however,
which is often doomed to disappoint-

A new Idea for Campers.

Camping out is alright" observed
an old physician the other day, but
have seen people who expiated on the
benefit they were daily deriving who
yet breathed desperately bad air every
night. They slept in tents, and, as
everyone knows, a we'll made tent
when closed, is almost alright. One
person will use up the air of an aver
age sized tent in less than half an
hour; two persons in less than quar-
ter of an hour. If people cannot trust
themselves to sleep in the open, they
should see to it that an opening is
made in the tent at least a foot square
for each occupant. 1t is the only way
to secure good ventilation when the
tent is closed

of lemon juice. After frying the fritz
tiers roll them in sugar. Ordinary
wheat griddle cakes are improved by
the addition of a few huckleberries
and so are mullins and biscuit. Even
cornmeal mullins are good in this way.
Sometimes housewives go SO far as to
put them in plain cake, instead of
raisins. Stewed huckleberries as
sauce for supper or luncheon are a de-
cided improvement on the uncooked
fruit. Stew them for a few moments
with little sugar. The juice from a
pan of stewed huckleberries makes a
delicious drink. Add three or four
large tablespoonful to glass Of ice
water. A few drops of lemon juice to
give pleasant acidity to the drink.

il made according to the following
rule: Put on the fire half pint Of
water with pound of sugar. Let 1t
come to the boiling point. Then add
quart of huckleberries and let them
cook in the syrup for fifteen or twenty
minutes. When cold strain and add
to the clear juice thus obtained quart
of rich cream. Put the mixture i'm
mediately into the freezer and freeze
1t until it is stiff. The ice cream in
freezing turns to pretty lavender.

position might almost think that 1t

licious flavor of its own.
An unusually good short cake,
known as BLACK Republican" short
cake, is prepared from huckleberries.
Stew a quart of huckleberries with
cup Of water and heaping cup of su-
gar for about fifteen minutes While
they are cooling prepare light and
feathery biscuit dough, using a quart
of -four for quart of berries. Just
before putting it in the oven roll out
the dough about half an inch thick
and make it into two layers. Dredge
one layer with flour and place the 9TH
er over it. Bake them in a very quick
oven until done. When hot and flaky,
separate the two layers and spread
half of the stewed huckleberries over
one of them then place the other layer
over that and pour all the remainder
of the huckleberries.

For white cherry ice cream put a
pound of granulated sugar and half a
pint of water in saucepan on the
stove. Stir the mixture until the sugar
has entirely dissolved. Then allow
the syrup to come to the boiling point
and while it is heated stone a quart of
white cherries Add them to the syr-
up and let the whole boil gently for
fifteen minutes. Then strain the syr-

tieth Century Club. was held Wednes-
day evening at the Masonic hall, with
Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Patterson when Mr..
Frederick Howard, dean of music at
Drake University, Des Moines, made
his initial appearance before a Mar
shalltown audience. Mr.. Howard has
a rich barytone voice, we'll trained,
which he uses with most excellent
taste. His auditors were won into i'm
mediate sympathy with him, as he
made a few explanatory remarks as to
the groupings of his songs, and the fact
that several of them were to be sung
in other than our mother tongue. The
first number, am admirable one for the
beginning of a program, was rendered
with a breadth and fervor which dis
sipated any doubt one might have en-
tertained as to the singers artistic
ability. The group of German songs
was the most musicianly, while
d'Hardelot's "Tiae Dawn" in the French
group, drew the most emphatic APP
plause of any during the evening, Mr..
Howard repeating it to the very evil
dent satisfaction of the audience. Mr..
Howard's rendition of Annie Lawrie as
am encore to the "Torreador's Song"
touched a sympathetic chord in every
heart. A distinct enuncation, not only

J. A. Lane, formerly of this city, but
now of Brooklyn, has been making
good as director Of new band, formed
among the amateur musicians of
Brooklyn. A story sent out from
Brooklyn, regarding the new band and
its accomplishments during the first
year of its existence, is as follows: "A
feat that is rarely if ever accomplished
by a band of musicians, especially
when starting in as new and inexper-
fenced amateurs, is that done by the
Brooklyn band. The band was organ
lied in June. 1905, by and under the
leadership of ]. A. Lane. After taking
UP the work with a system of scale
studies and exercises, the members are
now playing classics of the old COM
posers. something which is seldom at
tempted by amateur bands. The band
has played a number of concerts at
home and in neighboring towns, and
has earned $500 in the last year. The
members have paid for new uniforms
and a large library of music and divid-
ed $500 in cash among themselves. All
the members have the latest standard
make of instruments. The organization
IS highly appreciated by the residents
of Brooklyn and would be a credit to
many cities larger in size"
