WHEN THERE Is NO MAID.
How to Have a Successful Dinner
Party When Hostess Must Pre-
pare and Serve.

Plan the meal beforehand with di-
rect reference to making minimum
of cooking and serving at the last
moment. First select such dishes as
can be prepared wholly or in part
some time before the meal. Set the
table ready for the first course and,
if it is warm weather, the windows
open and a strong breeze with much
dust, throw over all a cover made of
several breadths of cheese cloth. Sc
lect the china, glass and silver for
the various courses and arrange on
the sideboard or an extra side table,
putting the set for each course by it.
self. In the kitchen put table as
near to the communicating door as
possible; keep half of it clear to re-
ceive the sOiled dishes. On the other
end place the platters, etc, on which
to dish up the hot food When the
meal time arrives put the first course
on the table before asking your guests
into the dining room. When it is fin
ished they will, presumably, be deep
in conversation while you are en-
ployed in changing the dishes. HAY
ing everything in readiness this will
take but few moments and you can
resume your seat. When there is no
host to do the hOnors it will relieve
you if you are at liberty to ask one or
more of the guests to serve certain

ABOUT THE NEW DRESSES.
The Empire Styles Lead, with Them
Are Worn Pretty Little Coats
and Broad Sashes.

Much speculation has been rife in
Paris as to the lines to be adopted in
the coming season for the new dresses.
Rumor said return to the frills OF
1870 was imminent, but no one could
speak with certainty, since the leading
dressmakers declined to give the
slightest hint as to the styles in prep
aratiOn. Now, at last, your correspon-
dent has been by special favor allowed
glance at the models which are to be
displayed to customers from all parts
of the world. And let it be said at
once that the majority of gowns will
be constructed on Empire lines Small
boleros, clasping the bust closely, and
bound to the figure by folded satin
saShes, or pieces of wondrous embroid-
cry, will play leading role on both
day and evening dresses. From under
this folded sash, which runs up high at
the back, the skirt will fall in graceful
lines. Across the front of the bodice
good deal OF padding is used to give
the straight, square look to the bust
which is essential for success.
In cloth gowns, OF coat and skirt
type, there is a quaint adaptation Of
this Empire idea. The very short bo-
Zero of last autumn has loose basque
added to it, which falls away from the
figure beneath the arms and descends
to the waist-line. Beneath this coat
the skirt rises high over the bust, end
ing sometimes with straps over the
shoulder.
OF blouses there are none. Their
place is taken by the elegant lace
guimpes which finish the Empire
gowns. Fine and beautiful laces are
used for these, and any bits of good
lace can be brought into use. With a
little bib-shaped piece of Irish lace
forming the middle of the front of the
bodice, straight lapels of the same lace
can be placed on the sleeve, running
down the middle, the material used for
the gown forming lightly draped puffs
on either side.-N. Y Tribune.

A Small Race War.

A strong feeling against certain ne
gro residents of Carlisle resulted in
their being requested to leave town,
short time ago. The negroes refus-
ed to leave and number of threaten
ing demonstrations were made by the
white citizens, who objected to their
delay in leaving the town. A store be-
negroes was dynamited and several of
the negroes were shot at and one res
idence was riddled with buckshot.
1t is said that the majority of the OBJ
jectionable element of the negro popu-
lation of Carlisle has left that city
as a result of these demonstrations
against their further residence.

DeplorabIy Crowded Con-

Chief of Police Ed Kern yesterday,

Mr.. Harper, by appointment, paid u

What Sulphur Does
For the Humsu Body in Health and
Disease
cnsrs NOTHING TO Try

The mention Of sulphur will recall
TO many of us the early days When
our mothers and grandmothers gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and mo-
leases every spring and fall.
it was the universal spring ana ran
blood purifier" tonic and cure-ai,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects Of sulphur i'm a palatable, con-
centrated form, so that a single grain
is far more effective than table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and experi-
ence have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtained
from Calcium calcium Sulphide) and
sold i'm drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are
small chocolate coated pellets and cor
tain the active medicinal principle of
sulphur in highly concentrated, ef-
fective form.
Few people are aware Of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretory organs and purifies
and enriches the blood by the prompt
elimination of waste material.
Our erandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur, of which Stuarts Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. M. wilkins, while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies, soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was SUI
perior to any other form. He says
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria, have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, / have
repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuarts Calcium Waters is a proprie-
tary article and sold by druggists and
for that reason tabooed by many ply
sicians, yet / know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all
forms Of skin diseases as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired Of
pills, cathartics and so-called blood
purifiers" will find in Stuart's Call
! cium Waters a far safer, more palat-
able and effective preparation.
