"a Musical Tea"

The following is a very amusing
competition for an afternoon tea:
A tale is read aloud by the hostess,
and instead of reading the names Of
people, places and time she plays an
air on the piano. Each guest is pro-
vided with a card with numbers mark
ed on it, beginning at l. The tale Is
numbered to correspond, the first tune
played being /, the second 2, and so
On.
Almost any short tale can be adapted
for the purpose. The following SEN
fences illustrate the meaning. The in
verted commas indicate the name Of
the air to be played instead of reading
the words aloud:
One day In Sweet September" a
young couple were sauntering round
"An Old Garden" The girl, whose
name was Dolly Gray" was a charm
ing specimen of girlhood, and her com
panion, robin Adair," evidently founo
favor in her eyes
The airs must be we'll known, and
even then people do not recognize them
or do not get the correct title. One can
often fit the words TO the music and
vet forget the name of the song itself.

Dry Toast For Health.

Since most of us are very fond of
toast, but eat it sparingly, however,
because Of the general impression that
1t is bad for the health, it is pleasing to
find leading medical journal pointing
out that toasted bread is really very
wholesome, even for invaiids.
One thing in its favor is the fact
that it places a lighter tax on the di-
gestive functions than ordinary bread,
since during its preparation some of
the starch grains of the -four are rup-
tured, while some are converted into
dextrin, which is easily soluble.
Further, the crispness Of toast neces-
states its being completely moistened
IN the mouth before 1t can be swallow
ed. As a rule, therefore, toast is thor
oughly submitted to the action Of the
preliminary digestive process in the
mouth.
1t is important, however, that toast
Should be crisp all through, as other
wise the internal portions tend to be
come plastic and soft, like new bread
and like it, difficult Of digestion If not
thoroughly masticated. y

Put a teaspoonful of powdered borax

An excellent way to clean ribbon is
the following: Cover the ribbon with
warm water; then spread it on board
or table and scrub it thoroughly with a
brush that has been rubbed in soap.
After a good lather has been formed
and the ribbon looks clean rinse it In
clear warm water, lay it between folds
of thin cheesecloth and press until dry.
If the threads are not burned the
linen may be restored in this way: Ex-
tract the juice from three or four
onions and mix it into about an ounce
of soap, four ounces of fuller'S earth
and a pint Of vinegar. Boil all these

A LAVENDER CONE.

and, although many are the perfumes
nowadays, it is doubtful if in the long
run any is so popular as sweet laven-
der.
The illustration shows how to make
a lavender cone, an Invaluable ad-
junct for imparting a delicate perfume
to linen. Lavender sprigs when
thrown loosely are apt to shed their
bloom and thus create a confusion
of odd pieces. The cone, however.
obviates this disadvantage.
To make a lavender cone take about
seventeen to twenty-seven lavender
sprigs, the number depending on the
size Of the flowers. Bind them firmly
round the heads with a piece of linen
thread. Now take piece of baby rib
bon and put it round one of the stalks
keeping it quite close to the head, and
sew it with small stitches. Bend all
the stalks when you have tied them
and bring them over the flowers
and darn the ribbon over and under

meath the stalks, keeping it as even
as possible until the cone is finished,
drawing it well into shape at the same
time. You must not forget to leave a
long piece of ribbon foB dainty center
bow The other cone is made exactly
in the same way. The stalks of both
cones are fitted into each other, tied
with thread and bound over with rib
bon, tied in the center. A pretty idea
is to have contrasting ribbons for
each cohe. Thus green and lavender
ribbons look well, white and green,
lavender and pink, etc.
Some people prefer a fat lavender
sachet, a1d the third Illustration is de
signed. The flowers are firstplcked from
the stalks and put in a soft muslin bag.
The outer case is also composed of
muslin, threaded down the middle and
sides with mauve ribbon. The letter
ing and spray are worked in graduated
shades of mauve and the whole finished
off with a pretty lace frill.
The muslin case can be easily washed,
and Of course its size depends on where
you intend placing the sachet. Both
methods of using lavender are com

For Narrow Halls.

There is little that can be done to re
lieve the ugliness of the long, narrow
corridor halls in fats and in certain
types of narrow houses.
The only thing to be done is to make
them as unobtrusive as possible.
The fathouse hall is high in proper
ton to its width.
1t is also long, and chair rails serve
only to accentuate that length.
The hall is dark, so use light tinted
wall paper.
1t is narrow, almost to suffocation.
Use retreating rather than advancing
cOlors.
The walls force your attention on
either hand. Soften them by using
very quiet patterns.
Paper such halls, then, in light green,
light blue or gray and preferably in a
simple, quiet figure in white or self
tone.
AS for furniture, you have no room
at all, and hall carpet or runner is the
only thing possible for the floor.
For the hall that is simply an entry
or vestibule, with space just big enough
for the front stairs and a couple of
doors, a wooden wainscoting or a wa
terproof dado of some of the imitation
feathers is highly desirable, for there
is a constant brushing of damp clothing
against the walls of the narrow hall
and stairway.

The Secret of Boiling water.

To boil a thing well it is not neces
sary to boil it hard. The average
kitchen maid thinks that the more
commotion in the water the hotter IT
is. and in order to produce this she
burns a great deal of fuel and ruins
the stove by keeping it red hot. Water
placed in a stewpan directly over a
redhot lid will, of course, boil more
vehemently, yet it viii not cook meat
or potatoes any quicker, and not so

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Philosopher Rudefy Interrupted

After the funeral I fingered at our
Fredonia place. There was the estate
to settle; my two daughters had now
no one to look after them; Junior
must be started right at learning the
business of which he would soon be
the head, as his uncle had shown
himself far too easy-going for large
executive responsibility. So, l stayed
on, doing just enough to keep face
of plausibility upon my pretexts for
not returning to Washington. The
fact was that Carlotta's death had
deepened my mood of distaste into
disguise. 1t had set me to brooding over
the futility and pettiness of my activ-
tiles in politics, of all activities of
whatever kind I watched Ed and my
children resuming the routine of their
lives, swiftly adjusting themselves to
the loss of one who had been so dear
to them and apparently so necessary
to their happiness. The cry of man
overheard" a few ripples, a few
tears; the sailing on, with the surface
of the water smooth again and the
faces keen and bright.

sent telegram after telegram. Still

toriously the agents and servants of
the great campaign contributors, -
would cause a public cutlery that could
not be ignored. The opposition press
did make perfunctory criticisms; but
nowhere was there a sign that the
people were really angered.
I got the clew to this mystery from
my gardener. who prided himself on
being strenuously of the opposition
party. What do you think Of the new
administration? said l when l came
upon him one morning at the rhodo-
dendron beds.
