HUCkABACk WORK
LENDS ITSELF WELL
TO FANCY DESIGNS.

Huekaback is again as popular, If
not more SO, than ever before with the
fancy needle workers. No wonder
after one sees the lovely bits of fancy
work made with huckaback and tinsel.
Some very pretty bags are made by
using silver or gold thread to inter.
lace the little huckaback threads and
often the work is more artistically out
lined with gold Or silver beads thread
ed while the worker is outlining the
pattern. Every style imaginable is
seen in this work and many oriental
patterns show variety of eolors with
gold plentifully used in outlines. A
dresser scarf was made with three
tabs at each end, each end buttonhole
stitched with pale blue silk and
worked with eyelet. Above this was a
siX-ineh band of pale blue mosaic de-
sign, outlined with gold. In the center
was a triangle of gold and blue. Pin
cushions, chair cushions and prac-
tically everything in cover design
can be fashioned this way. Little
opera bags are woven with silver
threads and hung with long pendant
silver threads and gold interviewer,
with gold threads and gold beads, or
black thread and gold beads. The
heavy silk-like floss is best for the
purpose and can be threaded with
finer gold threads.

American Music.

Even the severest critic of American
music-and most of the critics vie
with each other for this title-cannot

can works in large forms come to gen
eral public performance, and scarcely

and too often, it is true, an appalling
quality as well; yet in the midst of
this saturnalia, declares Arthur Far

Emergencies.

There are times when emergencies
arise which call for quick action
when something must be done before
the physician arrives. It is well to
have in every home an emergency box
so arranged that each article may be
seen at a glance The box should con-
tain roll of soft, clean old linen, the
pieces cut in different sizes and all
hens and buttons removed; roll of
old clean flannel, some lint, sticking
plaster, pair of scissors, pins, tape
a few large needles, and some thread.

Avoid Worrxlnu.

nothing but complaints and worries,
instead of being a place where peace
and happiness and rest of mind are al
ways to be found.

MEATS THAT REQUIRE CARE.
Care Needed in the Preparation of
Lamb and Mutton.

An experienced housewife declares
that both lamb and mutton should be
more carefully prepared than the 9TH
er meats. First, the loose fat which
comes wrapped around such roast
should be removed, washed carefully
in salty water and set to work in a
dish of cold water into which very
little bicarbonate of soda has been put.
Then the roast proper instead of
being washed or wiped, as usual,
should be thoroughly scraped with
a sharp knife until every bit of skin
has been removed, without, however,
cutting away any of the fat, and next
the meat should be freely rubbed with
salt. After this, the loose fat, which
has meanwhile been soaking, should
be wiped quite dry and fastened
around the roast with long skewers
Finally, this outer layer should be
rubbed over with salt and at last the
roast of lamb or mutton is ready for
the pan.

Migration of slrds.


No scientific question has been mora
discussed with fruitless result than
1ae object and the significance of the
migration of birds, toward the tropics
IN the autumn and toward the poles in
me spring. It would be easy to suppose
that the autumnal migration is in
search OF food if it were not for the
Aact that in the spring the birds leave
abundant supplies of food in the warm
regions, and arrive in the colder re-
glons even before vegetation is far ad-
Fanced. Another suggestion, that the
migration north is for breeding pur-
poses,tls disproved by the fact that the
migratory habit is found in birds that
10 not breed until the second or third
year. Prof e. A. Schafer, in an adj
aress before the Scottish Natural His
tory society, has suggested and ar
gued plausibly that the explanation is
20 oe found in the search for light.
Inc polar regions are dark in winter
ana the days are short in the temper
ate zones. On the other hand, the
uays are longer In high ATTITUDES than
IN the tropics between the spring and
Inc autumnal equinoxes. Birds are
voracious feeders, and occupy most of
Inc daylight in seeking food; and they
are greatly dependent upon their eyes
IN the search. Some confirmation of
this theory is found in the fact that
birds do not start on their journeys
southwark or northward impelled by
change in the temperature, for they
take their fight southwark in warm
antumns and northward in cold
springs, on practically the same days
OF the month as in other years. The
theory is at least interesting and
worthy Of further study.

their right barrels.
Coulson, next to the girl, saw them
drop while he was getting his gun to
his shoulder; and before he had ex-
planned his slowness to himself Kit
had stopped hare ten yards in front
of him.
He turned and stared at her. She

similar reasons, wasted two cartridges
on one bird. But the children waited
until the young ones rose and then
each got in deadly right and left.

Mans Mocestv-

Men are more self-conscious than
women in public, according to the Bos.
ton Herald. A man would be much
more disconnected to find his stocking
curling over his boot when he is en-,
deavoring to be agreeable in parlo1
than a woman would be if some such
trivial accident befell her. Mans mod.
esty is often synonymous with self.
consciousness or vanity. The Oriental
woman yelled her face and was not
disturbed if other parts of her body
were revealed. What normal man
would be brave enough to attend din
ner party with bare shoulders and a
low-necked shirt? Modesty, in the
conventional meaning of the word, is
governed by custom, time and coun.
try.

Iusty young trees had grown up in the

New Ways of Serving Goldfish.

The homely Goldfish is one Of the
best helps for breakfast, says the
cooking department of the Delineator,
because it can be served in so many
ways. For one, cream a cupful of it
while you are baking some large po-
tatoes; when they are soft cut them
lengthwise, take out the center and
mix with the fish; then fill the shells
again, heaping them well, and put
them back to heat. Or, If you own
those useful things, little brown bak-
ing dishes, put some creamed Goldfish
in each one and fill them up with
mashed potato and brown in the oven;
an egg beaten with the potato will
make it very light.
Goldfish croQuettes are always nice.
Mix the hot cooked fish and freshly
mashed potato as usual, then add a
beaten egg and drop the soft mixture
in spoonfuls on to a little -four, just
rolling each one over in it; fry in
deep, hot fat, till they are like frit-
tiers,

The secret of beautiful hair is in
knowing how to make the most of it
how to coax and coddle it into grow

1t is the natural frame for the face
and whether or not this frame is be
coming remains with the woman her
SELF
A horrid, untidy, slipshod way OF
twisting up ones crown of glory will
make the most adorable woman look
like a cartoon.
Arrange it in fluffy, pretty, neat
coils and it will change the cartoon
into picture worth photographing.
1t is wonderful what terrible things
a. woman can do with her own head.
You think this when you go to q
matinee and view the sea of mussy
pompadours and crooked parts and
wispy locks spread out before you.
Hairpfns are falling, hair ribbons
are dusty and soiled, straggly ends
of hair are looking out to see what
they can observe, while here and there
is displayed the business end of a
switch that has not been properly con-
cealed
Combs are set in crooked, and in
many cases head OF hair looks more
like birds nest than couture.
To have pretty hair you first of all
must have clean hair.
This means that you should sham
poo it every two weeks.
The hair catches even more dust
than the face.
It has a thousand little arms reach
ing out for it.
