Luncheon Breaks Up Day for Women
and Children.

Luncheon has become an American
institution, and has come to stay. 1t
is, to most women, the pleasantest
meal of the day, even when partaken
of at home, with none present but
1.-The children" and the grown women
of the household. 1t breaks up the
monotony of daily tasks; it is eaten
without furry or hurry, because with
little ceremony. pickup" dishes and
accidental entrees figure conspicuous
ly in the menu-things for which
men, as a rule, care little and their
wives and daughters much. Tea and
toast, cake and preserves can be en-
joyed without fear of bantering COM
ment, and a harmless dash of gossip
can be uncovered without provoking
severe structures.
The family luncheon is the best me-
dunn I know of for acquiring the val
liable French art of connecting entrees
out of "left-overs."
Some Johns have q rooted dislike
for made dishes"-a prejudice which,
l may remark, adds sensibly to the
sum of household expenses. 1t would
double them but for the canny house
wife's use of cold cuts and scraps for
the midday meal lust for the chill

Women don't cook for themselves!
But for the saving clause. 1.-The chill

self upon toast and tea. Being a moth
er, she brings forth Strengthening
soups. savory stews and relishful COM
positions of fish and vegetables out of
most unpromising materials, uncon.

Then strain, mix with q cupful OF

quart and a half of water. Stand TIE
drink on the ice until it is chilled.
Cool Oatmeal Water.-As an alter
nate for barley water. for children and
invalids in summer, use oatmeal. 1t is
not only palatable, but nourishing. 1t is
made by mixing large tablespoonful
of crushed oats with a little milk and
adding more milk to bring the amount
to a quart.
Bring to a boil over the fire, then
draw to one side of the stove and sim
mer gently for quarter OF an hour.
Strain through a cloth, add a little
sugar, and put on the ice until wanted.
This drink, by the way. is excellent
in winter If served hot. 1t is as good
for tired persons or invalids as hot
broth or chicken soup.
Lemon Ginger beer.-Anotner ex-
cellent homemade drink for summer
is a mixture of lemon and ginger.
1t is as palatable to many as the i'm
ported ginger ale. which is costly to
drink If one makes practice of 1t.
1t is made as follows:
Pour two gallons of cold water over
a half-dozen lemons thinly sliced and
add to this not quite an ounce Of
ginger root. To this mixture add a
pound and a half of sugar.
Let it come to boil; then add
tablespoonful Of cream of tartar.
Strain and set in cool place.
When nearly cold add a yeast cake
dissolved in a little lukewarm water;
stir thoroughly; then set in cool
place over night.
In the morning mix well and bottle.
Be sure to make the corking alright
and lay the bottles on their sides in
a cool place. A small bottle of Jamaica
ginger extract may be used in place of
the whole ginger if more convenient.

A Culinary Existence.

a Culinary Existence.
A woman's culinary existence is one
long vicarious sacrifice. Very few
women care for food as food. When
it is for themselves it quite singularly
fails to interest them. Their function,
l cannot honestly call it their pleas
ure, is to prepare it for masculine des-
tination. Really nice" women never
seem to know what they are eating.
Single women, living for themselves,
SO far as I can make out, do not eat
at all. Many of them turn food re-
formers, so as to be able, il possible,
to eat still less. When a married
woman turns food reformer depend
upon it her married life II not a
happy one.
Housekeeping is by far the most
difficult of all the professions; and
woman who is a good housekeeper
would, II she were a man, be Car
negie. The distinctive tragedy of her
situation is that while one may as
sumo Mr.. Carnegie to be interested In
steel, women have no inherent inter
est in food, which is the J !vot Of their
household work, and only apply them
selves to its problems because they are
obliged to. The really efficient mis-

JEWELS WORN IN NEW STYLE
Partisan Fancy Taken Up by Smart
London Women of Fashion.

One of the latest Partisan fancies in
jewels to be taken up by smart Lon
don women is corsage garniture of a
fishnet drapery set with diamonds, the
whole forming a brilliantly scintillat-
ing drapery.
The fisher net is filet work of ex-
ceedingly fine gold threads. the meshes
formed of diamonds. The drapery
covers the shoulders and droops sew
eral inches, and it is made entirely by
hand.
Mrs. Cavendish- RentiHck. sister of
Mrs. Ogden Mills, wore this sort of
diamond meshwork on the corsage of
a royal blue robe, and Mrs. Edward
Ward, recent bride, wore a similar
net of diamonds over clinging black
satin. Lady Camden was also seen in
a pink robe having the diamond
meshed net. and in each case two large
diamond tassels and diamond set cords
fastened the jeweled drapery at the
back.
The inverted tiara Is another little
FAD in jewels. This is a straight band
front from which jeweIed points de-
scend, disappearing in the couture.
Mrs. Waldorf Astor wore one of
these inverted diadems the same eve
ming that the diamond studded corsage
draperies were seen.
The duchess of Rutland also wore
a new pattern in diadems; in this in
stance it vas pointed crown of wheat
ears meeting in the front and Queen
Alexandra wore a similar couture or
nament, but instead of wheat ears a
diamond thistle rose from the center.

Freezing drinks served over coun-
tiers will always be popular, no matter
how much the doctors inveigh against
them. Preachments do no good in
this line.
The woman who is boiling hot
argues that she can be made cool by
putting as much sweetened ice into
her stomach as she can buy along the
street.
But fortunately for her health she
may live out of the reach of the So
called sumner drinks" then she can
make them for herself, and after she
has grown accustomed to the home
made variety she will pass by the
others.
Strange 1t is that very few women
make q practice of concocting all
sorts of palatable, cooling drinks to
serve through the four hot months.
They depend on ice water, milk and
iced tea.
Here are some recipes that have
been tried and found not wanting:

COURT ENFORCES
PAYMENT Of fine
Against Vim. II. Thompson
Charged With Lending
License Papers

An interesting point in law was
argued in the City Court to-day. Last
August or September. William H.
Thompson was arraigned in that
tribunal on the charge of loaning his
license papers 10 a boy to peddle. and
was fined $50 and costs, which sentence
took with IT the forfeiture of his privi-
lege to peddle. Judge J. Frank Ball
represented the defendant anl took an
appeal, the appeal and bond being ac-
cepted at the time by The clerk of the
court. II was later learned by the
court clerk that there was no appeal
allowed under the statute. and he did
not send the papers to the upper court.
Thompson was brought into the City
Court to-day to show cause why the
sentence imposed on him should not be
enforced. Judge Ball contended that
it was not within the jurisdiction OF
the court to impose such fine and for
feiture of his clients license. He also
claimed that the appeal filed in the
case ana also the bond were accepted
by the clerk of the court. and that II
it was Irregular that was no fault Of
his client.
Assistant city Solicitor Satterthwaite
insisted on the sentence being en-
forced on the ground that there could

the case.

PRICE WAS NO
OBJECT TO Her
Leap Year Bride Said She
Would Have Her Marriage
License at SIC

uThere is nothing slow about the
girls in Chesapeake City. Md. Ycster-
day one of them came to this city and
she was accompanied by the young
man who had elected himself to be her
husband. He was mighty bashful
though, and had it not been for the
brlde-elect there probably would have
been no marriage.
The couple were Enos Buckworth
and Miss Mary Z. litter. He was 50
all-fred backward that the girl had
to even get the marriafe license She
boldly went into Magistrate Broman's
office, leaving her husband-to-be wait
ing on the outside on the next corner.
She was twenty-five. ana as she looked
IL there was no trouble about issuing
the license.
Before the paper was made out, how
ever, ard 70 guard against any fluSe,
Clerk John Lynn told the young wo-
man that the license would cost So. Il
don't care what they COST" she quickly
returned, Il would have one Of them
If they cost s1O," and she talked just
like she meant every word of 1t.
After the license had been issued, the
bride-elect went out to her husband,
and together they walked to the home
of the Rev. George L. Wolfe. where
the nupital knot was tied.
The new Mrs. BuckwOrth is probably
the first leap year bride Of the season.
Though sfe said she didn't do the pro-
posing, she engineered the weddig al
right, but what can a poor girl do with
a bashful man.
