Dainty Dresser Scarf.

When handkerchiefs are cheap buy four embroidered ones with the plain hemstitched edge and sew them all neatly together with strip of torchon lace insertion about an inch and a half or two inches in width between each handkerchief and on the edge of the one at each end. When this has been neatly done sew lace, which should match the insertion used, on both sides and ends little full Now make plain cover to go under this of some delicate color, pale yellow or pink being especially pretty, and you will have dresser cover, of which you may justly be proud.

Deadly Insult.

A New York youngster was caught literally wiping up the street with another boy with whom he was SUD- posed to be on especially friendly terms. The detector of his pugihstic encounter was his mother, who, after she had yanked him into the house, proceeded to deliver a lecture on the sin of fighting. The boy listened for while in silence.
 That's all right" he broke out at last in uncomfortable indignation. Its all right for you to talk, but if you just knew what he said about you"
 The pause was significant. The mother took alarm.
 About me?" she said. Why, what on earth did he say about me?"
 He said," blubbered the small boy in impotent wrath, that you-wear- petticoats."

Pineapple Honey Is Delicious.

If you have been accustomed to throwing away the core and parings from your pineapples, says the De- 1ineator, stop doing this and make the following excellent substitute for honey: Take the cores and parings from the fruit; cover with cold water, and let them stand over night. In the morning bring the mixture to a boil, and cook for several minutes;
 then strain through a cheesecloth, re- turn to the fire and boil about ten min utes longer. Add an equal quantity of sugar, and boil about three min utes. $ The result should be a clear, amber-colored sirup. It will prove de- licious when served with hot cakes.

Do you really mean 1t, MT. Spooner, when you say I am the best girl in the world?" asked Miss Flypp, after the young man had suggested that she should become Mrs. Spooner.
 Indeed, do, Miss Flypp," assever- ated the young man. T say it again yop are the best girl in the world"

 The loveliest, without doubt"

 'I did. I said they excelled those of any other girl"
 "I believe you called me sweet"
 "'A sweeter woman ne'er drew breath" quoted the ardent lover.
 You used the word perfect too, did you not?"
 "I did. l also pronounce you the pink of perfection, propriety and modesty, the empress of my heart, the peerless one among the beauteous creatures of your sex, a maiden ador- able, enchanting and worthy of the hand of the best man on earth. Say the word that will make me the happi est man, my own Dorai"
 Before I give you an answer, Mir. Spooner, I should like to ask you one question:"

When Learning Is JocuIar.

The Yale students attitude toward the faculty, though jocular, Is not an tagonistic, and as a rule the Record laughs with the professor at his un- fortunate pupil, as instance:

Mrs. Barney Sees . Llght.

W4AnlnBtOu I1eEAlus
 Mrs. Gertrude Barney of Missouri where, 1t appears. the women. as we'll aa the men. must be shown, is disgusted with the business of suffragetting, in which she has lately been most stren- uously engaged. and henceforth will none of 1t in hers. She casts 1t aside as she would Dead Sea fruit; as some thing the shadow of which is more alluring than the substance.
 The case of Mrs. Barney is most inc teresting, and not altogether uninstruc- tive. She Is "a very handsome young the most winning and attractive" per~ sonality. She announced herselt a candidate for offce-regardless of le- gal obstacles against her holding the same-and the men in her district fatrN ly tumbled over themselves getting to the polls in order to vote for herf Sha beat her masculine opponent Ilve or six to one. IL Is even htnted that ho himself joined in the enthusiasm toe ward the close of the contest. and helped pile up the votes for his r!vals On all hands she was fiattered. politely hurrahed. gallantly voted for, and chl- valrously treated!
 And now that she has attained her hearts desire. woman like, she doesn't want it. She is convinced that the men are best equipped to run the govern ment: indeed. she thinks 1t now with all her soul. She never realized be- fore lust how nice men can be about some thIngs-when they want to. She had expected such different treatment al their hands during her canvass and through the elections progress. In short she has persuaded herself that the cause of the suffragette is an error. that woman's sphere is not in the field of politics, or in any field adjacent thereto. Moreover. she thinks man a muchly maligned animal!
 We are inclined, naturally to want to coincide with Mrs. Barney's optimistic view of mankind in general. That there are many of them too good for this earth we doubt; that they are not always as gentle and refined In. their politics as she found them, We know. REnt in the main, man is not so bad; and he manages to make a fairly good fob of running the Government. too. we think Mrs. Barney will be happier for her decision. We wish other suf- fraeettes could have her experience ;. Unfortunately. that is not possicle~-- for all sufRragettes are not young. winning, handsome. and a widowW
