Housekeeping even for two takes
up a good deal of the day, If it is
properly done. Looking after a hus-

keeper does it all as 1t should be
done she will have but little spare
time on her hands.
"Any woman can keep house,"

Pepper and salt and very tiny pinch

no stock is handy, it should be mixed
with some good melted butter, suffi-
cient to make it soft enough to spread
easily. White bread, lightly butter
ed, is used for these sandwiches,
which are cut in squares or diamond
shapes.

HOMEMADE LACE.

Yards and yards of braid are made
UP into something that looks like
heavy imported lace. 1t takes skill
to accomplish such nice results, but
homemade lace makers can do a
great deal. They become very skill
full with the needle and they make
really beautiful things.
The braid is something dyed and
made up with colored thread. Occa-
sionally one sees it dipped in coffee
to give 1t the yellow tirge, and time
and again it is very slightly dipped
into yellow to give 1t the tone of old
ivory. The thread must just match,
and, so, one gets the lacey effect.
Coats made of lace are by no
means novelties. Yet one must
speak Of them as among the spring
fashions. They are almost invari-
ably made of colored lace, for white
lace coats are not fashionable for
day. A separate white lace coat
cannot be worn with anything ex-
cept perhaps white evening gown,
while the coat of broHn lace, pale
pink, deep blue or of lavender can
be worn daytimes with a gown of
the same color.
The lace coat is be very fash
ionable this summer, worn with a
dress of just the same color.

household expenses wisely.
\ Young married people should al
ways keep house, no matter how eco
nomically they are Obliged to begin.
If they board the wife has more time
on her hands than is good for her.
A married woman, If the oppor-
tunity comes her way, can make
little "pin money" by doing some
sort of work at home in her spare
moments. But it Is almost impos-
sible for her to do any outside work
and attend to her home duties prop
erly.
Don't be unhappy. Do your work
we'll and make happy home for your

He is the most important person in
your life. Greet hi. at night with
cheerful face, not one all snarled
up by discomfort and the effort to
find another mission in life than
that of being good wife.

morning all trace of cold will prob

Black -currant tea is an excellent
cold cure, more especially If the jam
or jelly used is homemade.

BEAUTIFUL GARDENS FOR SUMMER
A Japanese Tea
"a House Makes a Beautiful
AdoFnmenf,

Horticulture is receiving more at
tention this summer than ever be-
fore, and the gardens are blooming
with a radiance that is very attrac-
tive to lovers of shrubs and flowers.
While flower culture has not been
neglected, it is notable fact that
the planting of shrubbery and the
laying out of gardens on a larger
scale than heretofore has claimed the
chief attention of householders. A
beautiful garden is not the thing of
day, Nor can it be achieved in a
season. While shrubbery looks at
tractive from first planting, it is
more beautiful after 1t has attained
two or three seasons growth.
Nothing adds so much to the ap-

SEVERE CRoss-QUEsTI0NING
Effort to Connect Assistant Secre-

Crime-Denials Reiterated.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEXINGTON. Ky, December 1s.-Be-
fore today's sessions of the court end at
Georgetown, Caleb Powers will have COM
pleted his cross-examination in testifying
for himself in the charge against him for
the Goebel murder. Since early Monday
morning he has been on the stand, spend
ing twentyfour hours under examination
by his own attorney ana the remainder Of
the time under severe cross-examination
by Prosecutor Franklin
When he took the stand today Powers
was closely questioned concerning a state
ment made by Youtsey In the Louisville
Jail that Powers and Howard were inno-
cent. Powers declared that Youtsey
waived the question of the truth or falsi-
ty of the statement about Powers admit
ting writing letter to Miss Susie Sniffer
OF Williamsburg, saying he would rather
fight than be robbed, in speaking of the
mountain army. This was before Goebel
was killed. Powers denied that he after
ward gave Miss Snfffer money to leave
so as to prevent her testifying. A very
small crowd was in the courtroom today.
No discriminating Evidence.
IoWeTS mas now Deen on the stand two
days, and although all Prosecutor Frank
Inns skill has been used in endeavoring
to secure from him damaging admissions,
not one misstep has Powers made, and
not one iota of evidence has been brought
out that would tend to connect him in
any, way with the Goebel murder
Prosecutor Franklin sprung a surprise
by trying to bring out testimony from
Powers connecting W. j. Davidson, Pow

mer superintendent of public instruction.
with the conspiracy, but without avail.
Davidson left Kentucky shortly after
the murder and his whereabouts are now
unknown. Powers swears that instead of
giving Henry Youtsey a key to his office
as ioutsey swore, he refused to lend
foutsey the key when he asked for it,
alleging that he wanted to hold a meet
ing in Powers Office. Powers swore that
after objection had been raised to the
mountain men coming armed to Frank
fort, he was advised by Gov. Taylor and
CORNER Gov. Bradley to have the western
kentucky men come without arms. Frank
lin asked by what authority these men
were armed. and Powers answered that
the bill of rights gives men the right to
bear arms openly He reiterated his de-
mails of any knowledge of conspiracy
to murder Goebel.
Il did not go to the cemetery in Frank
fort with Wharton Golden; never did sug-
gest any plan to him whereby Goebel
could be killed; did not suggest to him
to raise a row al the hotel and shoot
