WHERE FEMININE FANCY LIGHTS

means by calling on them, will assume
an air of. excessive dignity. -.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arm IS length and whites away at
it, hit or miss, is impulsive, jolly, good
natured and generous.
He who leaves a blunt point is dull
and plodding and will never amount to
much. He is really good-hearted, but
finds his chief pleasure in the comm on
place things Of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high-strung
and imaginative and subject to exuber-
ant flights of fancy. He will always be
seeking to mount upward and accom-
plish things in the higher regions of
business and art and his wife Is great
est trouble will be to hold him down
to earth and prevent his flying off
altogether on a tangent.
The man who sharpens his pencil
all around smoothly and evenly, as tho
It were planed off In an automatic
sharpener, is systematic and slow to
anger. But he is 80 undertaking from
a fixed principle. that he would drive
woman with sensitive temperament
to distraction in less than six months.
On the contrary, he who jumps in and
leaves the sharpened wood as Jagged
as saw teeth around the top, has a
nasty temper and will spank the baby
on the slightest provocation. There are
certain women who can manage that
kind Of man beautifully, however, and
if he gets q wife with calm, per.
suasive eye he will come down from
his high horse in q few minutes and
be as meek as lamb.
The man who doesn't stop to polish
the point Of lead once the wood is cut
away has . streak Of coarseness in his
nature. +.
He who shaves of the lead till the
point is like needle is refined, deli
cate and sensitive. He will not be
likely to accomplish SO much as his
more common brother, but he Will
never shock you, and is without doubt
good man to tie to.

with the BITS Of crisp bacon scattered
over the top. In preparing this dish
it is not necessary that the corn should
be- boiled expressly for this purpose
as the "left over" corn is quite as
good when it is served in the same
manner. '.- -.
A delicious gingerbread which is
most appetizing for a picnic may be
made on the morning Of the day it is
needed by this simple rule: A cup Of
molasses, a tablespoonful Of butter, a
tablespoonful Of boiling water, two and
half cups Of fonr,9a teaspoonful each
Of ginger, cloves, cinnamon and soda,
and half a saltspoon Of salt. Put the
melted butter into bowl, and add
molasses and spices; dissolve the soda
in little boiling water, and put it in

paper for half an hour, or, if the oven
Is not very hot, little longer. .

WoMAN's CRUELTY.

Julia Ward Howe was asked to deny
that women are cruel to one another,
but she rather begged the question,
only insisting that women were not
as cruel to one another as they used
to be-; that women advanced every
day. s'+'
"Women today she said, tltnke
men, are trained to consider them
selves citizens Of the world, and they
may say, like the philosopher Of old:
- ft.We are human, and nothing that
concerns humanity is alien to our in
terests.'

tellectual, SO great that many Of us
fail to take it in. It is none the less
true, and not to be gone back from

Green corn is never better than when,
young and milky, it is dropped into a
kettle Of boiling sailed water, boiled
just long enough (ifteen to twenty
minutes) to set it's juices and sent to
the table steaming hot. Yet, because
eating from the cob is ungracefu1,
society taboos it in this primitive form
and calls for it in. the guise Of made
dish. Now that the corn season is at
it's height we give some dishes in which
it is the chief Ingredient: -
Corn Chowder-Score and scrape
from the cob sufficient raw corn to
make one quart. Boil the cobs twenty
minutes In one quart Of water, skim
out and discard them. Boil one quart
Of diced raw potatoes five minutes and
drain. Chop fine one-quarter Of
pound Of salt pork, try out slowly, add
one sliced onion, cook until it begins
to color. Fill saucepan with alternate
layers Of potatoes, corn, salt and pep
per; pour over this the cob water,
add the strained pork fat and simmer
fifteen minutes. Make q white sauce
with two tablespoonful each Of but
ter and flour and one pint Of milk.
Add to the chowder with one teaspoon
full Of sugar and more seasoning. Sim
mer FIVE minutes, add six broken
crackers and servo.
Corn Pudding Score and scrape
from the cobs pint Of raw corn. Add
one cupful Of white sauce made as in
the preceding recipe; when cool add
the yolks and whites Of three eggs
beaten separately. Turn into shallow
buttered baking dish and bake twenty
minutes in hot oven.
| Corn Entree-Score and scrape g
dozen raw ears, steam the pulp twenty
minutes. Put one pound Of raw
chopped beef in a saucepan with two
heaping tablespoonful Of butter; heat
slowly and stir until the juices are
drawn out. Press out every drop OF
juice, using small meat press, if
possible. Return the juice to the fire
season with salt, pepper, a suspicion OF
mace and thyme. Stir in little fou,
and water paste to- make slightly
thicker than cream-the exact quantity
depending upon the amount Of meat
juice. Butter a baking dish, put in. 81
the corn and over it pour the gravy
Over all put q layer aof grated Swiss
cheese and bake In q. hot oven until

FOUR BUSINESS WOMEN.

One Of the largest ranch owners in
southern Texas is Mrs. Kennedy. Her
ranch formerly stretched over several
counties, but 1t has since been d.
vided. In the opinion Of some stock
men Mrs. Kennedy's is the best stocked
ranch in Texas. Her cattle are Of the
finest breed and her ranch is one of
the best improved and embraces some
Of the richest land in the state. Mrs.
Kennedy employs an overseer, who re-
1teves her Of much Of the tedious work
there is in connection with the cattle
business, Her home is one of the most
charming in the west. It is q typical
old southern mansion, huge porched,
high pillared and set in pleasant
grounds.

ors in the detail Of opening accounts,
making out checks and investing their
savings.
Mrs. Sara Walrath Lyons is staff
lecturer Of the board Of education and
Of the American Institute Of Social
Service in New York. The theme Of
her lectures is foods, their dietetic
value and purpose. She has given the

made countless experiments for seven
years. Mrs. Lyons is heart and soul in
favor Of the pure food bill that has
been framed and during the last year
in travelling about lecturing she Sc
cured several thousand signatures. Of
persons advocating it's passage.
Mrs. Theresa A. Shannon Sheridan,
in the unique position of owner and
successful director Of large and
lucrative general contracting and light
erage concern, enjoys the noteworthy
distinction Of being the only woman in
the world who is engaged in that bust
ness, which, perforce, necessitates daily

TIE SIN OF INSURANCE.

gambling in human ves-only the odds are so greatly
