Few Hints on Frying.

Whatever is to be fried must be as
dry as possible and not much fried at
a time, or the fat will be cooled. The
idea is to have the fat sufficiently hot
to Immediately close up the surface of
the meat, fish or whatever is to be
cooked, SO that the fat does not soak
into 1t and make 1t greasy.
If many pieces Of cold food are put
into the kettle of fat at one time the
temperature will be lowered so much
that they may absorb fat and even
fall to pieces.
AS soon as the food Is Drowned It
should be removed from the fat and
drained on soft paper before serving.
Dry frying or frying with very little
fat is not to be recommended when
the above method can be used, but it
is necessary for such things as sau.
sages, bacon and pancakes.
One kind of fat or one kettle of fat
is sufficient for all kinds of frying.
Dainty doughnuts may be fried in
the same fat and at the same time
with oysters or fish, providing the
person frying IL an intelligent cook.
An apple is not required when rem
dering the suet.

Correct Mourning.

Fashions in mourning have under
gone very great change since the
wonderful improvements that have
been in crepe. In the first place, II
has been successfully waterproofed
and is no longer extravagant wear
Then the soft finish crepe is partic.
ularly well adapted to the picturesque
and artistic gowns Of the present day.
Instead of the gowns being trimmed
with folds and volants Of crepe this
season entire empire and empress
gowns will be worn Of this soft and
graceful crepe. Simplicity will be the
keynote of all mourning garb. For
millinery long. soft-fnish crepe wells
will be used to drape the large and
small shapes, and will fall in two long
ends below the waist Paris and
Vienna have taken up this crepe and
1t is being used extensively for all
articles Of mourning.

cried the lady orator, in fierce tone.
I'VE are told by those who style them
selves the stronger sex that we are

A loud chorus of mo" from the la
dies greeted this question, ana the
orator went on:

thinks"
rs that the reason your husband is

members Of the audience.

NEW FAD IN BLOUSES
LACE GARMENTS THREADED WITH
SILK OR VELVET RIBBON.
Some Pretty Ideas For Seasonahle
Garments In Either Silk or Lace
The Effect Of a Soft lie.

The lace blouse, everywhere recog,
nized as marvelously economical. still
| is kept outside of the range OF com.
monness by new ideas in its selection
and treatment, Instead Of the over
worked way OF bringing 1t into har-
mony with the skirt by means Of rib
bon bretelles and girdle, It now is
threaded with ribbon. either soft vel
vet or with silk cut bias, and hemmed
with the narrowest roll possible,
This silk drawn through and either
knotted like tie or having the ends
simply pendant in front is charmiag
= it has fringe knotted into them d
| any pretty, rich decoration of en-
broidery stitches added. The velvet
is finished off with clusters of loops
like rosettes and sometimes will be
started half way down the back and
threaded over the shoulders, ending
with the rosettes at just that point
on the bust which will bring the long
line from the shoulder down to the
turn of the figure, now raved over
by dressmaker artists.
Or the soft tie will be set around
under the arms like the finish of q
bolero, drawing it up as it reaches the
front and leaving the ends to hang to
the waist
Another way is to thread it around
the shoulders in the line of a bertha
although this only can be done when
there is long shoulder seam, The
largest meshed laces are in demand
for this pretty fashion. another form
of which is carried out with gold rib
bon laid over a backing of cloth like
the skirt.
Economical and pretty for evening
petticoats are those of white net
greatly beribboned. They are easily
cleaned and even washable and are
equally pretty to wear with smart
afternoon frocks and any second sea
son white silk or brocade petticoat
can be easily rejuvenated by its
owner with founces of thick net
trimmed with wash insertion to match
or with wash ribbon.
What everybody does not know is
that faille, the new silk standby for
blouses will wash with great success
In the white and If care Is taken even
in the pink and pale colors, An exqui-
site blouse of this silk has shoulder
tabs and corresponding tab coming
out from under the stock in front of
the material, edged with real baby
Irish lace an inch wide. These tabs
are embroidered with large disks of
white silk, which also appear with the
lace on the cuffs of the short sleeves.
This blouse, which, by the way, Is
copied from a famous waistmaker's
model, is tastefully worn by its owner
with white pearl beads and an ex-
tremely long bar pin of the same Ro-
man pearls, set so as to conceal all
of the structure and to stand out in
unspoiled whiteness' like the string of
beads.

MRS.NELllE MAKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is a source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven -tenths of tho nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, III e
blues, sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits ofdepression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability ? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains,nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? II so,
your nerves are In a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with

tobacco shall pay : license of one dol-.

lar.
 It will be observed that there is only one difference between the two sec tions. In thes old law this expression is' contained. where cigarette papers are kept to be sold. given away or otherwise disposed of" The effect of thek clause was to confine the payment of the license to the merchants who dealt exclusively in tobacco and cigars: It's effect was to let the merchants general license cover the selling of cigars and tobacco like his general H. cense covered the selling of dry goods or groceries. The new law changes this and he must pay for his little ctg- ar case as the man Who makes an ex- elusive business of the selling or cig- ars and tobacco.
 The law will have no effect upon the Montgomery business mon who deal ex- ciusively u. cigars and tobacco Tor Iney tho old code. The license itself IS not large. In ontgomery the State license will amount to S10 and the county IT. cense to half of fethat or $s. In aIl,tne nav no license for his side line of to- baccoa and cigars will now have to pay SIS.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the license is only $15 this section in the code is perhaps the most far reaching in the entire act. It Is far reaching because 1t will affect more merchants than any other provision Of the code Practically every retail groceryman in Montgomery has cigar counter. The new. law means that--eyery one of these merchants will have to pay an additional license of $1S or ston selling cigars. In a great many in- stances the retail merchants make no money out of their cigar counters. which they only maintain as an ae- commodation to their customers. The new license in effect touches practi- caily every merchant in Montgomery, but 1t is not known that 1t wlu drive some of the retailers out of business as 1t did in Mobile. Tn Mobile the anr nouucemeut has been made that more than eighty dealers in cigars who were retail merchants had retired from the tobacco and cigar trade.
 The same proportions of dealers ef- fseted in Mobile will be affected throughout the State when the license ia in active operation. The new IT. censey with its $f5 assessment will bring a tidy sum into the State treas ury as there will be so many mer. chants who will have to pay 1t. 1t will go some of the way towards meeting the big appropriations made hv the IeetSlature.
