A Dream Invention.

A Pennsylvania woman, Mrs. Kate
Dymond has obtained a patent for a
window curtain hanger, the idea of
which came to her, as she says, in a
dream.
Mrs. Dymond dreamed one night she
was putting up curtains to her parlor
windows. After the task was finished
in the dream she suddenly noticed the
hangers to which the curtains were
fastened. They were little brackets at
each side Of the windows and were diff
ferent from any curtain hangers she
had ever seen. The dream had in
tense yividness, so that Mrs. Dynaond
remembered it perfectly on waking.
She was so impressed that next day
she took pieces of old stovepipe and
reproduced with these the dream cur
tain fasteners. They were found to
be an Improvement and quite practical
BILE. Mrs. Dymond obtained a patent
on her invention and is manufacturing

Balance Of European Power.

Tt is sound maxim that the prop
er function Of diplomacy is not to make
war but to make peace and secure it's
continuance. Certainly no public serv-
ant can be more usefully employed
than in the preservation Of good neigh
borhood between the nations, The
maintenance Of immense military arm

proves that they have not yet reached
the stage of perfect mutual confidence.
It has been the policy Of European
statesmen generally for some 400 years
to secure by balance of power i'm
n.unity against the aggressiveness Of
any one dangerously strong state

BEAUTY DIET.
Food For Her who Would BE Healthy
and Handsome.

Rood For Her Who Would Be Healthy
and Handsome.
Nourishing, palatable food eaten at a
table where harmony reigns promotes
health, long tfe and good looks.
Americans hurry their cooking too
much. It is better to have simple food
that does not need much preparation
than to attempt boiled, baked and
stewed dishes that require a long time
in cooking Such dishes as these last
are daily served on many an American
table half cooked and wholly indigesti-
BILE. For another thing we Americans
eat far too much meat Again, many
families follow the thoroughly unbib-
lical custom Of drinking milk and eat
ing meat at the same meal. Milk itself
is food and strong one.
The woman who would be beautiful
and have fine complexion must eat
much more fruit than the average
American girl does. Such vegetables
as tomatoes, celery, spinach, lettuce,
carrots, onions, parsnips and even the

literally into the beauty seekers diet.
Cabbage served as cold slaw, chopped
fine and eaten with lemon juice and
salad oil, is healthful food. Onions,
raw, boiled or roasted, have an excel
lent medicinal effect, though they are
not to be recommended when one is
going anywhere. Some beauty seekers
habitually eat raw carrots scraped fine
and find the dish most palatable.
Breakfast should always begin with
fruit, even if one can have nothing bet
ter than nicely stewed dried apples
! cooked with slices of lemon. But stew
| ed prunes are cheap and valuable
corrective Of a stuffed and packed in
festival canal Lemon slices, the rind
left on, stewed with them make them
more palatable. Stewed rhubarb, or
pieplant, especially in the spring, is
also good for clearing out the system

A Woman Bank President.

Miss Katherine Williams Of Lagrange,
Ind, has been elected president OF the
national bank of that city. Not many
women anywhere have achieved a bank
presidency, and of the few Miss VIII
liams is probably the youngest. She
earned the honor by patient and long
continued work and was elected to her
place because she knew more about
conducting the banks business than
anybody else.
Miss Williams entered the national
bank as an employee while a very
young girl She stayed with it. She
learned its workings and it's affairs.
She was at length put at the head of
the banks loan and collection depart
ment, and she never made a bad loan
for the institution Neither did she
spend her salary for new hats, but
saved what she could and with it
bought bank stock which from time to
time was offered for sale.

Wheat and Indian Corn.

For breakfast cereal nothing made

ought to be in every family and slow

Then too, nothing was ever more
palatable and nourishing, especially in
cold weather, than just the SO called

from Indian corn. Still on some farms
wise and skillful women make. it, and
it is brave standby In the family

OF these silks are as heavy as the ira.

", these are given over to the matrons,
While the younger generation makes
use OF the thinner weights.
Among the newest silks are the satin
foulards, with a ground Of some dainty
shade, upon which is printed a series Of
blossoms Of various kinds. Small and
medium sized figures are also found
and IN very beautiful and artistic color
schemes, but there is nothing more ele-
CANT than the black and white combina-
lions. Calcium silks, plain and printed
are among the most unusual Of all
these fabrics, and under a strong light
they are really dazzling. There are
also voile ninon printed and MORE bro

The Perpetual Ponsee and Foulard.

Pongees appear to be in great favor
with the manufacturers, and it Is safe
to predict that women will like them
quite as well, since they are so durable
for hard wear. Pongee is one Of the
coolest Of all fabrics for warm days,
and it is also quite as useful for other
days. This spring it is shown in all the
pretty tints Of the season, including the
soft Alice blue, pink, lavender, light
blue, pearl gray, reseda, ivory, oyster
and mat, besides several shades Of
lilac and black. The Japanese wash
silks are unusually pretty and show a
great variety Of designs and shades of
color. All of them are in fast colors.
Satin foular1s are shown in several
qualities, the best being $3.50 a yard,
while others may be found at 81. JAG
guard effects are oftenest seen, but Of
all the new silks the thick and superb
plain surfaced silk which has a weave
between a heavy taffeta and grosgrain
with something to remind one Of satin
duchesse, is the one most to be pre-
ferred. This is so rich that It requires
but little characterization, the less the
better In the Illustration is shown a
