Unique Way of Choosing Partners for
the Refreshment Table.


In choosing partners for refresh
ments write well-known quotations
and proverbs, cut them in half and
hide the pieces behind pictures, under
bric-a-brac, in fact, in every conce1V-
able place. When these slips are
matched the company will have been
thoroughly mixed and all have found
partners. This is a fine menu to serve
for light refreshments: Whole wheat
bread sandwiches with a filling OF
potted ham, chopped nuts and olives
mixed with a rich mayonnaise dress
ing, coffee, chocolate with whipped
cream, sailed pistachio nuts and a de-
licious sweet served in sherbet glass
es. To make it allow the white OF one
egg to cup Of sliced peaches, a cup
of granulated sugar, whip with an egg
beaten (the rotary kind sometimes
called ''Dover") for half hour, then
chill in the refrigerator an hour before
using. The above quantity serves six
or eight persons. Double the quaint
ties as may be required. A blanched
almond and candied cherry may be
placed on top.

FOR THE DiNING-RooM.
Attractive Treatment in Old Style
Flemish Oak.

The sketch shows a most attrac-
tive wall treatment for dining-room.
The wood-trim of the room was OF
black oak, the furniture being in early
mission style. The wall space was
paneled with wood, which supported
plate shelf six inches broad. On
this shelf were placed a few choice
bits of brass or pottery. The wall
spaces between these panels were
done in roughened plaster, finished in
soft. yellowish brown.
Above the plate shelf a picture
frieze was used, the colorings IN the
frieze being principally in soft
browns, greens and soft yellows, the
figures being brought out IN vague
reds, grays, violet, mauve and purple.
Many of these friezes come in sets
of three figures, SO that the same fig
ure need not be repeated, the frieze
being SO made that it is possible to
fill out additional space with more

Mr. Wilson's Table.

There is man in Utah, John r. Will
son by name, who has played a trick on
most of the governors of the different
states and who is now about to reap the
benefits thereof He wrote to these
different governors, asking each one for
a piece of wood, of historical antece-
dents if possible, the same to be used in
the construction of a table for the use
of the new governor Of Utah in his Off
cial capacity The governors re-
sponded generously and Mr.. Wilson's
table contains, among other things, a
piece of the Charter Oak" bit of
William PENIS house, a slice off of the
frigate Constitution and other choice
bits Of timber. The table has been
completed and now Mr.. Wilson offers it
for sale to anybody who will bid
enough. The stupendous audacity of
the man would almost be enough to
make the table valuable curio even II
there were no other assertions.

brightly, and soft winds sighed through
the Ieafless trees. And Margie was
married and not cloud came between
her and the sun.
Peace and content dwelt with Archer
TrevIyn and his wife in their beautiful
home. Having suffered, they knew bet
ter how to be grateful for, and to ap-
preciate the blessings at last bestowed
upon them.
At their happy fireside there comes to
sit sometimes, of an evening, quiet,
grave-faced man. A man who Archer
Trevlyn and his wife love as a dear
brother, and prize above all other
earthly friends. And beside Louis Cas-
trani, Leo sits, serene and contem-
plative, enjoying a green old age in
peace and plenty. Castrani will never
marry, but sometime in the hereafter
I think he will have his recompense.

useful and attractive article in the
bedroom of a summer cottage.
Imagine a Widowed room with
floor covered with Powered mating.
In the window is a stand like this and
a high-backed wicker armchair with
foot-stool and book-rest. The chair
has cretoune-covered cushions and the
curtains are of cretonne to match.
The flowers on the floor mating cor
respond also. Two or three more wick
er chairs within the room and low
wicker table, white enamel bedstead
and bureau complete the actual fur
uishings of what would be q bright,
cosy snuggery. A patterned wall pa
per would give almost too figured an
aspect to the room, but a cool looking
paper has panels Of one of the pale
shades of blue, pink or yellow set in
frames, composed of narrow border
of flowers, corresponding to those IN
the cretonne hangings and mating.
Two or three pen and ink sketches
and water coIors about the walls are
the only other attempt at decoration
necessary, for one does not need nor
wish for many ornaments about in hot
weather, when all housekeeping
should be simplified as much as pos

Again, imagine a pleasant piazza
shaded by Japanese bamboo screens
or awnings, rag rug or two on the
floor, or perhaps a gay colored Turk

swings and hammocks well stocked
with linen or Undiscovered cushions

A new color which has come very

applied such name is undecided, as
an old apricot is hardly thing OF
beauty as to co1oring; but the shade

it to russell shoe which has been

is rich and beautiful, and, shown in

A. G. Gates. who, as chaplain of the
state reformatory at Hutchinson, tried
to bring about reform in the manage
ment of that institution. is now connect
ed with Hutchinson business college,
but incidentally he is keeping up his
work of trying to bring about better
methods of reforming the boys and
young men who are sent to the reforma-
tory. Mr.. Gates made a recent address
in a Hutchinson pulpit, and, as reported
in the News of that place, he tried to
show the folly of the endeavor to stop
crime and cure the criminal by torture;
that If skill and science and Christian
principles are essential in dealing with
the physically sick man, they are all
the more essential in dealing with the
morally sick man; that men directing
the affairs of such institutions should
be themselves, one and all, proper ex-
amples of clean manhood and thorough
students of all that pertains to the
causes of crime and the greater science
OF treating the criminal; that the
wrongs and cruelties inflicted upon the
inmates of many of our penal institu-
lions designed by the state for the cor
rection and cure of these wayward
youths are often many fold greater and
graver than the crimes of these men
against society. The cure of the Moral
Cripple If real cure at all Is effected,
as we all well know, can result only by
the application of the great remedies of
the Great Physician And to apply such
remedies with skill, true sympathy and
honest purpose is the work of men who
must have such service in the true spirit
OF the Master
Mr.. Gates was resigned from his
post as chaplain for preaching this sort
of doctrine. but he appears to have con-
tinued in the reforming business, just
the same.

KANSAS COMMENT
SOME GOOD DOCTRINE.

Wherein is your son advanced in any
particular by using an airguh? 1t Gre
ates in him the desire to kill. No one
can use a gun without wanting to hit
the mark with it. First the mark is q
and possibly your neighbors' chickens.
The gun habit is a bad one, a dangerous
one, and one abolished by law in all
cities. The air rifle starts it, then comes
the 20 rifle, then the Winchester and
finally the revolver. The vast number
of murders, which result in the habit
of gun totin doubtless originate in a boy
being presented with an airgun in his
childhood. Give your boy camera, a
fishing rod, a bicycle, or one of the hum
dreds of boy articles he can use with
pleasure and profit. Teach him to fear
and hate life-taking weapon.-Sabetha
