matrimonial yoke, "for better or for
worse" In the first case above re-
ferred to the young woman's IDEAL was
the highest type Of an auto driver, in
the other case the ideal was a light
weight fighting champion. But Ideals
Of young women in matrimonial frame
Of mind differ very widely
A primary consideration IN the mind
OF sensible young woman Of mar
r,ageable ase is the ability OF suitor
to provide a comfortable home, to-
gether with q reasonable certainty OF
three square meals day and a satis-
factory display of adapted dry goods.
Such a young woman is not satisfied
with prattlo about love in a cottage" /"
particularly if the cottage Is to be a
rented one, involving some doubt about
preparation for meeting the landlord.
Instead Of such test as operating
a speedy auto or winning prize fight,
would 1t not be well for the prudent
young woman to put her adorer to the
test Of winning a home before clinch-
ing life mortgage to him? Inciden-
tally 1t might be well, also, to adopt
means for thoroughly testing the young
mans hablts-his tendency to make a
distinction between his behavior in the
presence os Cupid and his behavior
when out of arrow reach.
on the other hand, why should not
such test conform to the rule that
works both ways" The young man
who sees his idol only in the atmos-
phere of the parlor gets no idea of her
appearance in the atmosphere of the
kitchen. Probably there would be a
less number of divorces and great
saving OF misery in married life if the
auto, and fighting test could be ex-
tended generally as prerequisites of
matrimonial yoking.

"Oh, tell me, sailor pray.

When the Northern Lights

oh, tell of the radiant dawns;

And the spouting whales
And the hurricanes fateful roar,
And the awesome thoughts in the sailors
Whenever ne leaves far, far behind

HAND THAT RULES THE STAGE


TIE largest theatrical agency IN this
country, and probably IN the world is'
ouriousIy enough, run by a woman
Her offices are Just of Broadway, and
she has the proud distinction of know
ing more actors and actresses than any
living mortal. Her outer rooms are
forever filled by white-coated SOU
brettes, lank heavy" men, English
tenors i'm tweeds, round, smooth-faced
comedians. and good-looking young
men in short blue coats who viii play
anything from "juvenile leads" to the
baritone lover Lieutenant in comic
opera. AS q rule they all know each
other, call each other by their hrst
names, and are as joyous as II they
were at an afternoon tea. TO the
casual visitor the object of their pres
ence might never be known, IL 1t were
not for the one very conspicuous sign
which ia evident from all quarters of
the room. The agent herself, VINO
largely controls the destinies Of the
dramatic profession, sits in a small
office and answers to the general ana
genial name OF mother" In consld-
eration Of the fact that there are some
ten thousand actors in the theatrical
profession, not TO mention the many
managers with whom she is on equal
terms of intimacy, her responsibilities
are large. She has seen every play and
every actor in the country, and can tell
you Just about what each player can
do. Her list has every kind OF artist
from q $1000-a-week leading woman to
many soubrettes who value their SER
vices at $1S. She guarantees to supply
any manager with complete, company
for any play--tragedy, comedy, farce
problem or musical comedy--within
twenty-four hours after the order is
given. A case in point is that of play
which was produced in New York on
Tuesday night. The next day the man

was asked to engage an entire company

THE VISION

20 sister, sister, from the easement

What see'st thy tranced eye, what is the

OF that strange, rapture that thy feat
ures known

What saw'st thou there save sunsets
sullen burning?
Thy hand Is ice, and fever lights thine

20 sister, oft the sun hath set and often
Have we beheld the twilight fold and

The edge of day--In this no myst'ry

MILLINERY FoR ocTosER

The veil Is going to play most i'm"

act a dual part as an ornament to

An example OF this role Is wine

hat, plumed with wine colored plumes
held in place by single rose.
A second very pretty autumn mode
is the Dauphin hat with beret crown.

BAG YOUR GRAPES

A good, old fashioned practice that
might well come into more general use
among grape growers is that of pro-
tecting the fruit while on the vine by
inclosing the clusters in paper bags
There are numerous insects, birds and
fungous diseases that attack the fruit
during its development, and against
most of these the bag can be made to
furnish almost perfect protection
Spraying to destroy the pests Is often
effective and, for the benefit of the
vine and foliage, should never be neg
lected, but the proper use of the bags
will insure a greater proportion Of first
class fruit than can be obtained by
any other means known to me.-Coun-
try Life in America.

The reports are current that there
was falling off in attendance at the
state fairs of both Oregon and Wash
ington this year. This is to be re-
GREETED, if the statement is true, and
the cause of this decline should be
sought out and removed, if possible.

be made of great value to our farm

poultry. He is the very man to tell
his less fortunate brother how he
attained success and is generally
ready to do this.
The state of Washington the
past season was placed earlier than
it has been customary to hold it in
former years. This was an unfor-
tunate circumstance, for it put the
fair right in the midst of hop pick
ing in the Yakima valley. 1t was
difficult thing to get adequate help
to pick the hops this season and the
owners of hop yards very naturally
would not allow their help to attend
the fair If they could possibly help
1t. 1t seems to me that as the state
backs up the fair by appropriating
some $4,000 every two years, the
time of holding it should be set at
such a period when it would be
most convenient for the farmers to
attend. But why was it changed to
this very inopportune time? I don't
know, but it is rumored that this
was done to suit the racing circuit

Cooking and Serving.

Cool fall mornings suggest the
buckwheat cake. Eve don't get the
genuine article nowadays" said a
grandfather, abiding to this sort of
batter cake, and l knew that he was
thinking of the light honeycombed
cakes raised with yeast, which used
to be made before the days of general
discardng of yeast for baking powd
ers. He was risht in speaking
critically of the buckwheat cakes of
today, for to one who has eaten a
good yeast raised cake the tasty
tang is missing in the baking pow.
der cakes.
But all the bucllwheats of the old
sort were not perfect. The custom of
keeping little batter in the pitcher
each day to raise the next days
batch was overdone. Some cooks
were known not to start an entirely
fresh batter from fall to spring, al
ways depending on the old ferment
The best way where cakes are made
each morning, is to wash the pitcher
once in three or four days and start
with fresh yeast The batter must
be mixed at night, and most cooks
think that about one-fifth part of
cornmeal is an improvement.
The obstacle in making the old.
fashioned raised buckwheat is the
small chance of finding the plain
buckwheat -four; most of it is mixed
with baking powder. One good re-
cipe is as follows: To four cups of
sifted buckwheat add a scant cup of
cornmeal and half a level teaspoon
of salt. Stir in FIVE cups of lukewarm
water and one yeast cake dissolved
in one-half cup of lukewarm water
Make a hole in the -four and meal
and pour the liquid in slowly, beat
ing all the time; in this way the bat
ter will be easily made smooth and
free from Jumps. If the dry meal is
stirred into the liquid the process is
much harder. When the batter is
smooth let it stand from 5 or 6
o'clock at night until the next morn
ing. Do not expect to have good
buckwheat cakes unless the batter
has risen at least twelve hours, and
more will do no harm. Before bak
ing stir in level teaspoonful of soda
made smooth in one-quarter cup of
milk Beat the batter half minute
and begin to cook the cakes at once
If too thick add a cupful more milk

In WOman's Realm
Useful HINTS.

To clean osprey, lather Is made
of white soap and tepid water.
The osprey is then taken in the
left hand and dipped in the suds, the
right hand Is drawn down from stem
to tip, time after time, till the os-
prey is quite clean; If black or white,
it is then rinsed in clean tepid water
tinged with blue; it must be con-
stantly shaken until dry.
All colors require redying.
Cleaning tips, the same methods
are employed as for osprey.
After washing they are beaten up
on a table or board prepared before
hand by being thickly covered with
flannel.
The method of beating is first up
then down, continuously until all
the fibers are fluffy.
White ostrich feathers and fancy
long plumes can be beautifully
cleaned by soaking five minutes in
warm suds with teaspoonful of
baking soda in it; draw them lightly
through the hand, rinse in clear wa
ter and dry by shaking over the
stove.
Feather busters are done the same
way and look lovely after they are
done.
All tips and feathers must be
steamed after washing and drying
before curling, in order to separate
the fibers and make them set out
straight from the center rib, then
put aside few minutes to dry, when
they are ready for curling.
When being curled they should be
held in the left hand, with the fibers
to be first curled lying over the fore
finger of the same hand.
The curling knife, or, if this is not
to hand, blunt instrument or paper
knife will do equally well; it should
then be drawn under the fibers from
the rib to extremity of fibers, when
the curl or ring at the point should
not be less than dime piece in size
Caution should be exercised in
manipulating the fibers over the
knife, or instead of a soft ring the
libers will take a corkscrew forma-
ton and be ruined.
