The Lingerie Hat,

The lingerie hat has ceased to be a
frilly affair. 1t is huge, bell-shaped,
and whether of cretonne or all en-
broidered batiste, or of Irish lace, or
of cambria embroidery, the stuff is
stretched smoothly over the frame. A
border of ribbon or of straw is used,
and the lining may also be of either
of these materials. Toile de jouy rib.
bons may be had to ensash them, or
white cotton gauze printed with gay
bouquets and bordered with satin. One
cretonne hat has nothing but quilt
ing of old rose ribbon to trim it, old
rose lining it, and hat in embroi-
dered cambria is entirely inundated by
a shower of white aigrettes that al.
most hide it's foundation.

JAMIE WASTED NO TIME.
Youthful Philosopher Had Carefully
Thought Out Situation.

It was Jamie's bath night. He had
several each week and he hated them
all. On this particular night, once
started, he soaked and splashed in the
tub for full half hour, then his
mother hailed him forth. He came out
of the room in his pajamas with his
face all streaked and dirty as it was
when he went in.
"Mercy!" cried his mother *

But your face is black" said his
mother.
"Oh!" Jamie smiled understand
1ngly. my face is all right. I have
to wash that in the morning, bath or
no bath. You don't s'pose I'm going
to waste time bathing my face! I
always begin just below my ears and
work down on my arms and legs; but
I always leave my face and hands
those ends tend to in the morning!"

Veal and Ham.

To two slices ham add three
pounds shoulder veal, cut in serving
pieces. Remove fat from ham and
fry until it is brown. Take the bits
of fat from frying pan; fry a few
moments the two slices of ham, then
fry the pieces of veal until a light
brown. Remove from pan and pour
off all the fat. Add water enough
partly to cover meat; place veal on
the bottom, put ham on the top and
simmer gently 40 minutes. The ham
gives delicious flavor to the veal,
and the cheapest part of the veal can
be made tender prepared in this way.

Cleaning Rinqs.

Rings set with precious stones
should always be inspected from time
to time to ascertain if the gems are
at all loose, especially in the case of
claw settings. 1t is also a good plan
to wash them periodically in warm
soapsuds, to which few drops of sal
volatile have been added, an exception
being made, however, in the case of
turquoises, which should not be damp
ened. In every case the claw set
tings should be cleaned by means of a
wisp of blotting paper rolled into the
form of shading stump and worked
into the interstices so as to clear them
of any accumulation of dirt.

 The stomach is a flabby. elastic sack, holding normally about a quart al though as a result of various dleteuc abuses 1t Is very commonly so dis tended as to be capable of containing much more.

time before that there was a series o:
more or less extensive burglaries and
people wondered how il was possible
for the thieves to carry away so much
plumber.
Finally, the finger of suspicion was
pointed at the Romers, of whom COM
paratively little was known as they
had not lived i'm Prescott long. A
search was made of the premises of
the suspects and all the stuff that had
lately been stolen was found concealed
about the house.
The investigation was precipitated
by the tracking of a wagon from a
plundered store to the house and it
was then brought out that Romer had
been accompanied by horse and wa
gon on all of his raids.
He was arrested. indicted and found
guilty and sentenced by Judge Sloan
TO ten years at Yuma. After he was
taken to the territorial prison his wife
and family OF four or five small chill
dren went there to live as near him
as possible. They have found IL very
hard living and Mrs. Romer says that
they will have to give up trying I'M
less she can have the assistance of
her husband. The governor did not
hold out to her any hope that her
prayer would be granted.
