THE MoD1sH VEIL

With the latest hats come almost ev-
cry kind Of veil imaginable, but the
chiffon veil holds its own regally. No
detail of the toilet occupies more i'm
portant place, yet there is no accessory
SO overlooked by the average woman.
A number of very pretty brown and
red lace wells are shown at present and
for women whose compilations will not
rebel against the latter there is moth
ing better. Even the high tempera
ture naturally suggested by red in sum-
mer time fails to detract from the beau
tx of the red veil, which is worn loose
ly, but never thrown back over the hat.
The fashion Of wearing two wells con-
tinues and probably always will as long
as womankind is solicitous of her skin
and complexion. Fewer black wells are
worn beneath the colored ones, how
ever, the white mesh dotted or striped
with black taking its place. Very fine
brussels nets finished with dainty
tracery of vines or Powered garlands
are handsome for dressy wells, very
smart women having them dyed to match
the color Of the gown. White wells
sprinkled with dots of assorted sizes
are very chic, and to show how consid-
crate fashions arbiters are for the
health and vision of their followers
some Of the latest wells are left plain
about the eyes, SO that the sight is un-
disturbed.

LANGUAGE OF TILE FAN

Dizziness Of rainy days in the New
England resort where she is passing
the summer is dispelled by Senorita
Elena Calderon in an original way. The
dark-eyed daughter Of the Bolivian
minister in Washington occupies those
heavy hours with teaching the Ian
guage Of the fan to girl friends. Few
American maids are able to avail them
selves Of the opportunities afforded by
the use Of the fan. OF course, when
they have mastered all meanings Of the
graceful instrument, the next step will
be to convey that knowledge to men
friends. Should q youth who. hovets
around fail to catch the meaning Of the
.uplifted fan, just shading the right eye,
he might rush up at the wrone time.
That signal means, 6. 6 Do not come yet. ;,
The fan just before the lip
means, "You are ever welcome. =
But It will take long and
faithful practice to enable the nervous
American girl to WELD fan with the
dangerous grace of her Latin sister.

A WoMAN's WAY


The world is full Of heroines
Whose brav'ry none can doubt:
In circuses they face the lions,
At home put thieves to rout.
But when the storm has passed away,
The trouble disappears,
Why Is 1t that they always say:
She then burst forth In tears?'
A sudden panic thrills the school,
The children rush to death;
The gentle teacher, calm and cool,
Controls them with her breath.
But when the horrid fear is quelled.
The tumult once more sleeps,
Why Is 1t, by some force impelled,
She sits right down and weepsT
The fire Is burning In the mill,
The terror stricken run
To dash pen NELL across the sill
And perish every one.
A woman leaps before their path;
They stop, in ordered stream,
They file to safety from deaths wrath
While she sits down and screams,
u guess, from Helen. fair, of Troy,
Unto Joan OF Arc, ,44
Twas ever a womans way Of Joy
To move In mysteries dark. ;..sss
No doubt, when Molly Pitcher, bold,
In battles blood was painted,
She left her daring deeds Of gold
And went right home and tainted.

A FAILURE OF CONTRACT.
From LlppIncott's.

BISHOP WILMER Of Alabama was once asked by
colored man what he would charge to marry
him just like white folks. sas
9sWhy,', said the bishop, eff you will get the
wedding ring and meet me at the church. II marry
you for-for So just exactly like do white folks =
'sAn right, SIR the darby replied, 81 II get the
ring and be at the church tomorrow morning at q
O'clock s.ss
The next morning, In the dim light, the bishop,
fully robed, stood in the chancel and read in his
impressive voice the marriage service OF the Epis-
copal church, joining together two loving hearts and
dusky hands in the holy estate Of matrimony, and
blessed them they knet at the chancel rail- When
they the groom paused for instant as If in
keen expectation of Something further, then turned
and hurried the bride away.
tsHold, John; wait moment, = cried the bishop.
'tWhere Is that $5q'

disappointment in his tone but you ain carried
out the full contract. -

Picnic Lunches
BY coRNELIA G. BEDFORD.

It is needless to state that the great
est part of the preparation involved in
picnic lunch should be attended to the
day before. Meats should be boiled,
cooled and chopped or ground, the sea-
sonings added and the mixture put in
a cold place. When roast meats are
used all gristle should be trimmed off
and when cold a sharp knife should be
employed to cut slices of wafer-like
thinness. The meat slices should then
be neatly piled one on the other and
the plate on which they are laid
wrapped in an old napkin wrung out Of
cold water, followed by second wrap
ping of stout paper. So fixed, the meat
will not become hard and dry as meat
usually does when cut.
When very early start is to be made
it would be quite advisable to prepare
the sandwiches over night, wrapping
them in damp napkins until ready to
pack. The bread should be at least one
day old that it may be thinly sliced.
AS rule, most people Especially chill
dren) prefer sandwiches made from
chopped meats as they are easy to han
die when forks and knives are not to
be used. The ham sandwich is always
popular one, but any meat is suit
able; few made Of cheese pounded to
paste with butter and seasoning will
be likely to find favor, also hard boiled
eggs prepared in the same manner. Do
not forget to slip in few sandwiches
with a mustard pickle filing, chopped
fine and blended with little of the
dressing. Sandwiches made with mayor
naise instead of butter tend to soak
slightly, but minced cress or nastur-
tium leaves sprinkled over the but.
tered slices will be found very spicy
and good.
In making cake add a little more

minutes longer; this will ensure firm

| probably be better to use patty or gem
pans than loaf tins Jelly and cream
cakes are too fragile to be carried.
