SHADE EoR The CANDLE.
Pretty and Novel Affair by No Means
Hard to Make.

So many persons find the light from
a candle or lamp trying on the eyes
that they always insist on shades of
some sort.
A pretty and novel affair for a
candle may be made of strong wire
bent into a rectangular shape, six
inches wide at the bottom. with the
inner side IL inches tall and the
outer eve and one half. This will
give a decided slope to each top.
Make two Of these frames and
cover them neatly with silk muslin
OF a very thin liberty silk.
This cover may then be painted
or it can be studded in conventional
design in sequins. Tie the backs to-
gether with bows of narrow ribbon
for hinges, and around the top and
two shorter sides sew a box-plating
of narrow lace.
The candle is, of course, placed be-
tween the two leaves when they are
opened wide. Extreme care must be
taken to observe this precaution, as
a fire might easily result from such
intiammable materials in close proxim-
ity to fame.

KEEPING SHOES IN ORDER.
Ways by Which Best Results Can Be
Obtained.

White buckskin should be cleaned
with the best pipe clay, which must
be dampened before using.
Patent leather shoes should first be
wiped dry with a soft cloth before
placing them on the shoe tree, then
wiped with a soft cloth dipped in
warm soapy water.
A little vaseline should be applied
from time to time, especially after a
wetting. The shine may be restored
by rubbing with a piece of soft silk
or black velvet.
Leather nowadays is rendered indie.
pendent of the i'll effect Of dampness.
Shoes can, therefore, generally be
washed with tepid water when soiled,
a piece of soft linen being dampened
and applied all over the shoe.

Spanish Plns, Feet

Take eight clean, fresh "trotters -
cut each into four pieces; then boil
until nearly done. Take the pigs
feet out and lay to one side. Boil in
the liquid n pint of tomatoes and
one pound of parboiled tripe, cut fine;
one small garlic, mashed fine; six
potatoes sliced diamond shape, half
cupful of rice, half a cupful of Indian
curry. When almost done put the
pigs feet back, taking care that they

let it all boil until the pigs feet are
done. Be sure not to let the pigs feet
fall apart or have the sauce too thin.
This is a favorite Spanish recipe.

Miss Murray paused, brush in hand,
as an ominous sound reached her

that had grown distressingly familiar

lost all her money in an unlucky spec

John Murray briefly stated this fact
to his sister and suggested but one al

"As yet no one knows of this unfor.
tunate loss. You are still considered
an heiress, and are handsome enough
to marry where you choose. l have
here an invitation from the Court

so with them. They are wealthy and
have but one child-an unmarried on.

Miss Murray, as she paused in her
