A Shock All Around.
At an unexpected interruption in an
after dinner speech Senator Hale
smiled
These words" he said, Surprise
and confuse~me. They come with a
chock. They come with shock like
that which a young girl of Lode re-
ceived one night
This young girl sat in her bed
room with novel, Her hair was
down and her feet were in red slip
pers. Now and then, extending her
white arm. she yawned.
You see, it was very late, and
downstairs in the parlor her older
sisters was entertaining young man.
She naturally felt deep interest in
the entertainment. She was waiting
to hear how 1t would terminate.
"And at last there was sound in
the hall, a crash as of a closing door.
and it was plain to the impatient girl
that the young man had-gone.
She threw down her novel, and
running forth. peered over the balus-
trade down into the halls intense
blackness
well, Maude,' she said, did you
land him.
There was no immediate reply to
her question. There was a silence. a
peculiar silence, silence with GER
tain strained quality in it. Then a.
masculine voice replied:
She did, New York Tribune.
1t Would Never Do.
Lets go round and call on Mrs.
Gossip"
Not for the world"
why, have you quarreled with her?"
No; but | happen to know that she
is at home"
Electric Cookery.
No dust, no SCOT, no smoke, no
smell. Revelation has never enlight-
ened us concerning culinary arrange
ments in the abode of the blest, but
If there be such a thing as celestial
cookery, this might be it. 1t is like
magic. Here is nickle plated ar
rangement that looks like a chatting
dish or an afternoon tea kettle. There
Is no flame, no MATCH apparently no
heat. You put your kettle on the plate,
you turn the key, and in a few minutes
there is simmer or bubbling in the
contents of the vessel. The heat is
there although you saw no signs of
Its coming. Electricity does not claim
to bring water to a boil more quickly
than does gas. Both take about the
same length of time. But the odor-
lessness, the cleanliness of the cleo

more than swiftness. Then, too, the
heat can be graded better than with
gas. There are three degrees of heat
with the electric current, and the de-
gree can be regulated bv touching the
switch. Food can be kept at hard
boil, at medium stage, or at a bare
simmer, as the cook pleases.-Chris-
tine Terhune Herrick. in Woman's
Home Companion.
A pretty piece of work for odd hours
in the summer, says Harper's Bazaar,
is linen bedspread. One lately fin
.ished was made of linen. with a round
thread and beautifully smooth sur
face. 1t was large enough to tuck in
all around. About six inches from the
edge of the bed, when it was made
up, was pattern of apple blossoms
and leaves the width of the plain Dor
der, and just the shape of the bed,
which happened to be a double one.
The embroidery was done in fine linen
floss. The pillowcover was one long
piece, the length being the same as the
width of the spread, and the width suf-
ficient to tuck under the pillows and
bolster at both bottoms and top.
When the bed was made, this piece
was placed across the top, wrong side
up. The bolster and pillows were put
in position and the strip raised and
folded down behind the pillows. The
ends, with hemstitched hens, were
of course not tucked in. The effect
was that of large bolster. There was
an .oblong pattern of embroidery,
matching that of the spread, and leav-
ing about the same width of margin
showing. The effect was exquisitely
simple and dainty. This, sort of
cover does away with the tiresome
pinning and fastening of the slippery
squares once used.
