Bids DaIy's Horse Up.

A few years ago at Brighton Beach,
when William c. DAILY was more of 4
power on the turf than he is at the pres
ent time, he had twc-year-old entered
in a selling stake. The youngsters class
was admitted and he was allowed 10
walk over Tor the purse. The entered
selling price was $500 or $500, and after
the walkover Marrone told young boy
with whom he was standing TO bid the
horse up TO at least $1,000. Daily pro-
tected the colt. but Immediately COM
planned to the stewards that the boy did
not have the necessary money had the
horse changed hands
AS a result, one Of the track policemen
roughly grabbed the boy and hustled hin
into the secretary's Office Marrone fol-
lowed and notified the stewards that the
boy had been acting under his orders,
which he had a perfect right to do. For a
time, as an outcome of this affair, Marrone
contemplated action against the Brighton
Beach Racing Association, but was finally
headed of by friends of William Z. Enge-
man.
OF slate years Marrone has continued
whenever an opportunity offered to go
after selling platers that he considered
underpriced, with the same extraordinary
disregard of whose toes he might be
stepping on. He has run up horses be-
longing TO the Newcastle Stable. of which
Andrew Miller, a steward of the Jockey
Club. is a partner; Sydney Paget, from
whom he took L'Amour; John A. Drake,
when he was racing; G. f. Durnell, a
move against the latter being construed
as a defiance Of John w. Gates, and 20
many other prominent turfmen.

IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS.
Entertainments for Birthdays o
Washington and LonefeIIow.
A Washinston's Birthday Dinner.


Here is very attractive scheme for
a Washington's Birthday dinner. The
table centerpiece is a small drum
filled with fruit and ornamented with
silk flags.
Bayonets stacked in front of each
plate hold the place cards, which are
'ornamented with the tiny silk flags
which the ladies will put in their hair
and the men in their button-holes.
Red and white carnations in blue
bowls make charming bits of color.
The candles are red in glass holders
with shades of red, white and blue.
Small metal hatchets in the folds of
the napkins are tied with tri-co:ored
ribbon.
The appetizers to be served first are
of highly-seasoned anchovy paste
spread on rounds of toasted bread.
Then tomato soup, squares of broiled
white fish with tiny potato balls piled
up cannon fashion; fillets of turkey
with mashed potatoes served in deli
cately Drowned balls; creamed onions,
orange and celery salad garnished with
cheeseballs rolled in grated yolks of
hard-boiled eggs; cherry ice with
candied cherries on top; cake cut in
hatchet form iced with white and dec
Grated with cherries. Coffee, cheese,
waters. The entertainment may con
sist of characters from such words as
Washington" "Cornwallis," Della
ware" Virginia" etc. Pencils and
paper may be passed and 20 minutes
allowed for seeing how many words
may be made out of any of these
words. The prizes to be awarded may
be can of cherries picked from the
tree afterwards made famous by the
illustrious George and his hatchet," {"
and cherry log candy box filled with
glazed cherries.

SHELVES ARE IN FAVOR.
OF Equal Utility and Beauty in the
Living Rooms.

Shelves, as perhaps few of us real
ize, add much character to a room.
Like cushions and rugs and books,
they give that delicious air of COM
fort so often lacking in the stately yet
stiff drawing-rooms of some of our
modern homes.
Many people do not take to the idea
of shelves, associating the shelf with
the homely uses of the kitchen, the
pantry, and the cellar, whereas the
real fact is the utility of the shelf con-
stitutes much of it's beauty.
People have become educated to see-
ing bookshelves in library or sitting
room in preference to bookcases, for
these always seem designed more as
showcases for books and their bind
ings than to hold books ready for in
innate use.
Fewer bookcases are sold nowadays
than formerly, for everybody seems to
appreciate the charm of the low book
shelves built in around a room for oc-
cupying some special nook or corner
in bay window or alcove. On the
top of these shelves one can always
have plants, photographs, magazines,
all the hundred and one little furnish
ings that add to the beauty of room.
The high corner bookshelves are al
ways good for they use space often
otherwise wasted.

Rhythmic BREATHING.

will make a new woman of you. The
hollowS in your cheeks and your neck
will fill up as If by magic. The in
creasing heaviness of your walk will
disappear. You will acquire a com
plete command of your body. Any
fabbiness or angularity comes from
breathing with only the upper part of
ones lungs. Double chins and other
deformities are due to the same
causes. A clever woman doctor advo-

Support where it is needed no con

and a complete understanding of how
to breathe properly would result in
something very nearly approaching
absolute physical perfection.

Eruit-and-Nut Rolls.

Sift together, three times, three
cupfuls of flour, six level teaspoonfuls
Of baking powder and half a teaspoon
full of salt. Work in from one-third
to one-half cupful of shortening. Then
mix to dough with milk. Turn the
dough onto a Toured board, knead
slightly, then roll out into a rectan-
gular sheet about one-third of an inch
thick. Brush over the sheet of dough
with softened butter, then sprinkle
with sultana raisins or cleaned cur
rants and filberts (hazel nuts), cut
into several pieces. Roll up the
dough compactly. then cut the roll in
pieces an inch long. Set these on
end, close together, in a buttered
baking-pan. Bake about 20 minutes.

Eer LonafeIIow,s Birthday.

Wednesday, the 9th. is the natal
day of one of our most beloved Amer
lean poets and for those who wish to
entertain on that day the following
suggestions may be of assistance.
For souvenirs take white or gray
cards, mount a picture of Longfellow
or his house in Cambridge and write
a suitable quotation.
Then have series of living pic
lures; a delightful selection may be
made from the Hanging of the
Crane" each picture illustrated to be
accompanied by reading. The Rainy
Day" "Children's Home" Voices of
the Night" The Black Knight" and
groups from the Spanish Student"
are all effective subjects.
Then for music there is the "Arrow
and the Song" 'The Day Is Done.
The Bridge" and the Lost Chord"
Have Commute sketch of the poet,
and II possible procure Longfellow
post cards for the invitations.

TWO OLD STYLE s.voRlrEs.
Pumpkin Pie and Indian Pudding as
They Ought TO Be.

Old Style Pumpkin Pie.--When the
lady" did her own cooking or knew
how better than her help, they were
baked in the old style clay deep-in-
the-center plates, brown, with yellow
wiggles in them. The pumpkin was
cut in pieces, peeled and stewed soft
enough to be scooped. Then mashed
and sweetened with sufficient dark
molasses into which ginger and Gin
namon, two parts of the first, one OF
the latter to each pie, is mixed. To
this was added about one-third rich
cream to two-thirds drained pumpkin.
First bake the pie crust lining, add
the pumpkin till level with the edge
and bake in a brisk oven Qt was

at the edge, with brown film above.
1t cuts coherently, not like custard
nor cornstarch, but like firm pump
kin pie.
Old Indian Pudding.-Pour pint
of scalding milk on a cup of coarse
yellow Indian meal, add two beaten
eggs, two-thirds cup of dark molasses,
salt and cinnamon to taste, add one
pint of cold, rich milk, and bake two
hours, stirring several times to make
it whey. Make a sauce of one cup Of
powdered sugar and one-half cup Of
butter, beaten to cream, flavor with
nutmeg, wine or brandy. A woman

for collar is carried out in back as

A new coat of English suiting, tweed
or heavy serge would be very serv'
iceable for garment made over this
mode. The upper part pretty shade
of brown and the lower of tan with
brown or black braid is a good color

Quite a happy effect is produced in
a little frock which may be applied to
high-necked dress that requires reno

and an all-over lace yoke mounted on
chiffon or very sheer silk muslin ad-
justed. Or a lace chemisette may be
added. Chemisettes are shown in

Ever Try coffee.chocolatea 2

1t is not generally known that cof-
fee and chocolate combined make a
good fiavoring--somewhat peculiar,
however, and perhaps one would tire
of it easily, but dishes containing this
combination often make an agreeable
change from the general routine. A
loaf cake with this flayoring is espe-
cially good. Cream one cup of sugar
and half cup of butter; add the
yolks of four eggs and half cup of
strong coffee. Sift in one and a
half cups of -four, with two table,
spoonfuls of baking powder. Last
ly, stir in one and a half squares Of
melted chocolate. Bake in a regular
cake oven; frost If wished.

Keeplna House sanltarv.

To keep a house in sanitary con-
dition does not mean that you must
be sweeping, dustinS and scrubbing
all the time.
Let the air and sunshine into every
part of the house; do not allow any
decaying matter to accumulate in the
cellar; wash and dry all cleaning
cloths, tubs, pals, etc. as soon as
you have finished using them. 1t is
not SO much the dust that is in sight
as the dust, dampness and decay in
dark places that make a dwelling in
sanitary.

1t will be interesting to many read
ers of the department to know that
on Saturday afternoons for a couple
of hours, the poets home on Brattle
street, in Cambridge, Mass, is open
to the pubic. At least one room, the
library, is shown, with his chair, desk
and table. The windows are looking
towards the historic river Charles, the
lot in front of the house having been
made by the city into little park, as
it was the poets wish that the view
