Dear Grace:
The kimonos and negliges have been hav-
ing our attention this week, and l wish II
were possible to give you fair description
of them. They are of every kind and every
description of goods and shape and styles
They come In everything from the plain hg-
ured lawn with plain colored border at
$1.S9 to an elaborate lingerie one, all lace
and ribbon. at $3.50. Just picture II you
can the pillows Of lace and dainty fnser-
tion at that price,! But must tell you OF
one of the genuine Japanese silk kimonos
made of a beautiful piece of white Japanese
silk and embroidered all over in trailing
vines of wistaria In the lovely heliotrope
shades, and only sos; and another one. that
made one think of THE Darling OF the
Gods" and "Mikado." of black Japanese
silk embroidered In their ever-beautiful
cherry blossom, at S32.5 But for utility
and for laundry purposes the lingerie ones
in dotted swiss with large ruff1e edged with
lace and immense wing sleeves of lace and
Insertion. are really more practical. But

unsightiy IL they are fastidiou5 about their
daily baths-two a day. the hot at night,
the cold plunge in the morning - dainty
about their food, eschewing the grosser
sorts and taking the fruits and vegetables
in abundance, with no water at meal time
and plenty within two hours of meals, and
IT, besides. they indulge in regular exercise
walks, golf, swimming, horseback riding
or some other physical practice. So long as
the flesh Is firm and well carried and pure
from internal and external impurities it Is
not ungainly or unpleasant to the eye.
The Handy Girl Said
Perhaps the latest novelty in the way of
sofa pillows is the postal pillow. This is
but continuation of the fancy for picture
postals of all sorts. The postals used on
the pillows are the new leather varieties
that have lately appeared in fancy colors
and burnt leather designs. These sometimes
are gotten in the name OF some city and
have simple scene burnt upon them, but
are more often burnt with fancy figures
In making the pillows arrange the cards
according to any preferred diagram and
pierce the edges with stilietto and lace
them together with baby ribbon or long
laces of red leather The back of the pillow
can be of chamois. suede. linen. satin or
any material desired In color harmonzfng
with the cards. Another pillow which seems
to be the favorite at the present time is the
motto pillow having words. inscriptions,
snatches of songs and epigTams done in
tinted work. These can be obtained stamp
ed to embroider In outline stitch.
Other charming pillows are done in tapes
try work. which is a modern revival of an
old industry. The conventional designs
used are highly artistic and requires some
skill and considerable time to work out
we'll. The pillows are worked with tapestry
woods on art canyassing showing a loose
weave. Tapestry woods are combined with

range from SIS to $25.
There are also the matinee Jackets and
skirts. which are just as comfortable and
more presentable. of fine dinnity and lace
and ribbon trimmed. at $35
But must also tell you of a sweet. sim
pie garment made In dotted silk null
shirred to fit the figure at the waist line and
finished with f1ounce edged with lace, and
only s5.75.
There are also the cotton crepe kimonos
In pretty patterns Of the wall paper variety
that come at $3.50, and the cunrlingest little
Jackets of accordion-plaited silk trimmed
with Valenciennes lace and Insertion. at $l5
A bride to be was looking at a dainty
creation of white null printed in yellow
roses with white Valenciennes lace and vel
low ribbons at $27. and wondering IL II
would match the color scheme Of her room
In the new fiat.
Then there are the wadded and quilted
robes that are nice for the cool evenings
when one wants to grow confidential. and
did you ever notice what tendency neg
lfges have toward confidence between WON
en- friends. who lay aside all their social
strivings with their costumes and just want
to be coy and comfy? Yours, NELL.

If Ever

We are afflicted with a feeling of super
iority We must know that We are in error.
Whoever has served another however hum
BILE that other may be, knows how much
he has received back from him in reflex
benefit. how much besides the direct pleas
ure of benefits conferred There is always
something of fresh wisdom or truth or love
which contact with the brother man i'm
parts to US a compensation in itself.
This IS the natural vindication of our
inherent unity. 1t is the natural and in
evitable witness TO the need for the express
sion of our unity II we would live and
grow and be joyous. Ourselves we cannot
isolate from the visit of our brethren if We
would know the fuilnes of our life. God
can raise up another helper for the needy
one. but the reflex good of service on our
own heart can come only through our en-
braclng the opportunity of rendering the
service.
But still deeper and more vital than this
IS the unity that knows our brothers short
COmings as our own, just as We know his
griefs and joys as ours. The animal man,
the physical easement through which he is
ruauifestlng we must know as one with our
animal man. The spiritual man broodInS
over us we must know one with the
spiritual man brooding over him, the same
light from the celestial sun. There must
he, there can be, no separation If we would
live spiritually
We may lock ourselves in a room, the
most beautiful room in the world, pure
from contamination. But we need the outer
air We viii suffocate IN the isolation. Far
more is this true of the spiritual life, the
essential nature of which is unity with
others with all. and which pales away
stided as soon as separative walls begin to
rise The essential nature of saintliness
IS its Standardization with the sinner, the
lowest and the fallen, recognizing them as
one with Itself. And the greater the saint
Illness the more imperious is its assertion
of its brotherhood with the insanity This
IS loves unity ever manifesting Its equal
izing tendency 10 hew away every barrier
and establish the true oneness of men.
The Sunshine
In the home is much talked about and
praised and advocated, and yet never too
much. nor perhaps never enough. The sun
light beaming through the home and the
family circle should not be dlmmed by
comparison with the sun in the sky IRA
dating everywhere on all things that come
within its reach Cheer. peace, gladness,
joy mirth and merriment belong to the
home atmosphere. and dispel the care of
the day from the wearied mind Of the
home-comer. 1t is by coming in contact
with the pure peace of the home circle that
the troubled member of the family is eased
and sOotled. He finds of a sudden that
his sorrow has been allayed and his grief

Ham a Savory Meat

The decided salty flavor of ham renders
1t one OF the most palatabie meats than
can be served during the hot months When
the fresh meats begin to pail and seen,
heavy, ham, either alone or In eombina-
ton with chicken veal or sweetbreads. can
be so prepared as 10 just touch the spot."
The buying and cooking OF the various
cuts. however. have much to do with its
tasty and appetizing qualities and the
housewife who would have the service Of
ham greeted with welcome must study thu
best methods of Offering 1t in inviting
ways.
To bake a ham that Il will have a per-
feet flavor an English recipe Is unequaled
Soak the ham as for boiling and after wip.
ing 1t quite dry cover entirely with a
thick paste made of flour and water Then
wrap 1t IN a creased paper tying 1t in
several places to prevent the paper from
slipping off. Place the ham In a baking
tin and cook in a wel-heated oven bsst-
ing It frequently over the fire with hot drip
pings. If the paper shows evidences OF
becoming burnt, place another sheet over
1t. A ham of five pounds will require four
hours in the oven. AS soon It Is done
remove the paper and the paste and while
still hot rip off the rind. When the ham IS
cool, brush 1t over with several coats OF
glaze and put it away to get thoroughly
cold This is only when the ham Is to be
kept for cold meat. II Is very delicious

mains after the meal the glazing can be

Baked Stuffed Ham.-Boil a ham until
the skin can be removed easily and cash

grooves with the following stufling: 4
small quantity of sifted bread crumbs, n
pinch Of thyme. finely chopped parsley. sea-
soned with salt and pepper and enough
butter 20 mix these ingredients to a PASTE
Brush the ham with the well beaten yolks
Of two eggs. dust 1t with some more OF
the sifted bread crumbs and bake until

Broiled Ham for Sunday Breakfast or
Tea.-HaYe the butcher cut two three
slices of ham, each being only little over
the thickness of sliced bacon. You Will
doubtless have to pay few cents extra
over the cost of the weight, butchers
seldom like to cut the meat in this way
Before broiling. place in a saucepan OF cold
water and bring to a boil to remove the
saltiness. Now wipe dry, put between the
bars of a grdiron and brown slightly on
both sides. Butter and serve with hot
graham bread and some kind of chow-chow.
Ham and Chicken Pie.-Remove the skin
from cold cooked chicken, cut the meat
into small pieces and mix with the same
quantity of finely chopped ham and little
chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper,
mace and pour In about two tablespoon
fuls of boiling water. Butter a deep bsk-
ing dish, line the edges with a light paste
and put in the meat mixture. Cover with
a thick puff paste, punch hole In
the top and bake in a moderate oven. When
cooked pour half cup OF thickened milk
seasoned with butter and salt into the hole
