ONIONS AS BEAUTIFIERS.

Surely the famous London divine who
has sorrowfvlly declared that more for
tunes nave been wasted In dining out than
in any other way must approve Of the
simple luncheons which society packs into
it's baskets when whirling away on an
auto tour or some other pleasure exeur-
sion, says the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph. In fact. a well-known woman who
is summering in Maine wes heard to say
when giving orders as to what should fill
a lunch basket WI ich was to be taken
alcng on a fishing trip the other day,
'Please have fifteen or twenty onion sand
witches put in" They evidently struck
the waiter as something new, for he ven
tured to ask. did you say onion sand
yiches?" yes. put thin slices OF Ber-
muda onions between slices of bread. They
are delicious. and in the woods one can
eat as many as one likes" They have
the added virtues of being good for the
complexion and good for the health. and
that is something which women look for
in their diet in these days, when invalid
ism Is out Of fashion. Interesting invalid
ism the foolish used to call it, and the
real sufferers were generally those who
paid the bills.

A few drops of turpentine added to cold

SHOULD SCHOOL
TEACHERS BE PENSI0NED?

The Elkhart Qnd.) Review gives an
account of the death and burial of one
Sarah Elizabeth Johnson, aged 81, VINO
died in poverty and obscurity." But one
mourner followed her remains to the
grave. Yet this woman was for thirty
five years a teacher in the public schools.
No one could prevent her living to a
great age and dying friendless. but is 1t
fair that she should have "died in pow
erty?" What kind of a civilization is it
that authorizes its government to pension
even the "nipety-day man." but ignores
t~hirty-five years of faithful public service
rendered by a woman? Is the training
of a gun, then, more important than the
training of boys and girls? Surely the
State does not really believe what Its
policy in this matter seems to indicate.
One Indiana newspaper adds insult to
the injury done Miss johnson by piously
eXclaiming: But a life of sacrifice Is
not without its compensations even in this
world, and in the world to come has its
certain and adequate reward"

DOLLS AND DOLL GOWNS.

Almost every child loves a doll. Even
small boys are not above loving doll ba-
bies. though the little girls are the ones
who take keenest pride in the small, in
animate family and love best to dress
them. And was there ever a child, who
really and truly loved her doll. that did
not enjoy making clothes for it?
OF late years one can purchase dolls
made in splendid proportions, and suitable
patterns for making their clothes-every-
thing from underclothes to little hats, XII
monos and outside wraps of different pat
terms. Why not get such patterns and
interest the little girls in ~fashioning such
dresses, even though. perhaps, you must
do a part of the work? The patterns are
miniature designs of genuine patterns. and
1t is surprising how many valuable ideas
of dressmaking can be learned even in
play days.

A PRETTY LITTLE
THEATRE HAT,

A charming little creation for theatre
wear, which is shown in the early fall
models, Is a combination of cloth OF gold
roses, with black tulle and a black aigrette
tipped with gold. The gold roses form a
little plateau shape, and at the back and
left black tulle is attached. This tulle
rises above the roses and tufts out, giving
width at the right side and width at the
back, the tulle being laid in deep box plait-
ings. The centres of the ruchings are
Joined. and then the whole is attached to
the plateau. Just where the tulle ruches
are Joined at the right side to the roses
are black aigrette feathers, sparingly
tipped with gold.

FANCY LITTLE COATS.

Volumes could be written about the
fancy little coats this season and still
leave half the story untold. The fact Is
that every maker Is a designer of a new
model for pretty nearly every client. and
the number Of originalities is consequently
limited only by the number of wearers.
The net coats lined with tinted silks or
entirely unlined are among the attractive
possibilities of even small wardrobes.
They are made of the coarse nets. which
are not expensive, but the making, when
a garment of any individuality is to be
turned out, is the thing that ounts.

THE GRAPE AS
A DECORATION,

There is nothing which makes a more
graceful table decoration than long punches
Of grapes. either white or purple, arranged
with their own foliage or some beautiful,
glossy leaves which can be artistically ar
ranged.
The tall, faring wine glasses or cock
tail glasses with slender, graceful stems
are the best receptacles to hold the grapes
at each plate. Do not crowd the fruit, but
arrange the lunches or bunch to fall
gracefully with dropping foliage.
1t is no longer good form to use the large
fruit dish, piled high with lovely fruit
as a central decoration; there Is an at
tempt at graceful arrangement, and the
heavily laden table is no longer seen, that
custom having been eliminated a few years
back.

and eyes and buttons.
A medicine glass of tapering shape with
a little nickel cup at one end comes in
a pigskin' case just for travelling purposes.
Leather bags for collars are Very con-
