the effect.
At luncheon given last Feb
ruary, the strawberry ice cream
was nodded in hearts, by the ca
terers. They were wrapped in
paraffine paper and then tied with
pink ribbons in dainty rose and
silver paper. Each was passed on
a plate, and a genuine surprise
was given when unwrapped.
AT a house furnishing store,
heart sandwich or cooky cutters
can be purchased for ten or if
teen cents, and they will be found
almost indispensable where the
hostess entertains frequently.
A bottle of violet and red veg
etable coloring kept in the house
will help to add dainty effects to
cakes and icings. A sheet of
cake, white batter cut into hearts
and dipped in rose colored icing,
favored with either rose, peach,
almond or vanilla, has dainty
flowers designed on top with tiny
deep red, silver and green pellets.
A Bavarian cream nodded in a
dripping pan, can be cut heart
shape and sewed on rounds of
white sponge cake with spoon
full of whipped cream, colored
pink.

A Rude Republican.

A western congressman who goes
abroad each year tells of the militant
republicanism of an American he met
In Brussels last summer. This man,
1t appears, was a merchant in a small
town of Indiana One morning they
were out for a ride, and as they passed
through the gates of a public park
their equipage passed that of King
Leopold, which was leaving the park.
Following the custom, the congress-
man, as did every one else near by,
except the merchant from Indiana,
lifted his hat, whereupon the demo.
cratic Leopold also lifted his hat and
bowed and smiled. The merchant sat
bolt upright looking straight ahead.
'Know who that is?" asked the con-
gresham of the merchant. Yes; |
recognized him from his pictures. It's
King Leopold" Then why didn't
you bow to him as | did," The mer-
chant from Indiana stiffened In his
seat and squared his shoulders. Il
don't bow to no kings" he said
