A Promise UnfuIfHed.
From Success Magazine.

O. Henry, the well known story
writer. once promised the editor OF a
magazine that he would deliver a short
story to him on the following Mon
day. Several Mondays passed, but the
Muse was refractory and the story
was not forthcoming. AT last Che
wrathful editor wrote his note:
my Dear o. Henry-If I do not re-
ceive that story from o by IL o'clock
today, I am going to put on my heav-
lest soled shoes. come down to your
house. and kick you down stairs. I
always keep my. promises"
Whereupon o. Henry sat down and
wrote this characteristic reply:
Dear SRI, too, would keep my
promises II I could fulfill them with
my feet"

The idea of ~condensing milk to make

chemist named Appert, in 1897. Seven
years later the method OF evaporat.ng the
milk IN raritied air to prevent 1t from
reaching the boiling point was first used.
Commercially, the process was first ex-

are at present about so factories which

milk a year, valued at over $12, 600, 600.

NELLY BLYE'S "SLAPPERs."
They Were Batter Cakes and They
Were Good.

1t was not so much that the Mary
land dishes were different, but that
the cooks of Maryland named them so
differently The first morning Nelly
Blye was asked to have a "slapper,"
and was on the point of terrified re-
fusal when the black cook brought in
some steaming hot batter cakes! And
early every day she was awakened by
a pounding and humping that lasted
half an hour. On inquiry she learned
that they were making beat biscuit"
This is batter of water, -four, salt
and butter (no leaven), and they beat
it, pound it, fling it around, until ready
for the oven. 1t makes a very de-
licious biscuit-a sort of compromise
between the raised" biscuit and the
common cracker. To distinguish them
they call the ordinary dough light
biscuit"
Nelly noticed, too, that dishes were
not baked" they were soaked" in
the oven. Which reminded her, too,
that the roast We here describe as
rump or round, they call "bouillon"
roast. 1t is next in price to the rib
roast, and is very solid and nutritious;
making, in short, excellent "bouillon"
whence the Maryland title.

Salt in Cookinq.

If one portion of vegetable is
cooked in pure water, the other half
in sailed water, decided difference is
perceptible in the tenderness of the
two. Those boiled in pure water are
vastly inferior and in many cases will
be almost tasteless. Salt brings out
the delicate flavor of caulifower, cab
bage, potatoes, peas, beans and prac-
tically all vegetables. Onions cooked
in water without salt can be rendered
almost tasteless. AS salt increases
the temperature of boiling water
above the average temperature Of pure
boiling water it's cooking advantage is
at once apparent. Salt in cold water
Is used to drive insects from vegeta-
bles growing above ground. They in
stantly release themselves from the
leaves when they are plunged in salty
water and can be rinsed off. Celery is
improved by standing it in slightly
sailed water for one half hour before
it is served.

USE FOR WORN TABLE LINEN.
Luncheon Sets May Be Made of Old
TablecIoths.

The prettiest luncheon sets can be
Enade of tablecloths which are past
repair, provided the pattern on the
cloth is small and unobtrusive. The
exact size of the table it is proposed
20 use should be cut in paper, and the
paper laid over the cloth, pla ling it
so as to take advantage of Il e best
pieces OF the linen. If the eds is to

pencil line may be run round the
paper to mark where the transfer pat
tern is to be ironed OFF; but If hem
ana edging of lace are to be used,
then the linen may be at once cut to
the required shape and dimensions.
Further elaboration will perhaps be
necessary to cover thin places or
small darns, and this may take the
form of crochet or torchon insertions
arranged in geometrical designs, or
square, round, or diamond-shapel APP,

ished wood of the table throws up the

Porch Furniture.

The wicker furniture for porch, gar
den and country use is just as attrac-
tive as ever, but there are few new
pieces, unless it be the all-wicker chif-
fonier and dressing-tables, which ceT-
tainly are very pretty and cookbook
ing. They are models of the old-time
mahogany sets, and even shelves are
quite handsome, even in wicker. These
are shown mostly in pale green, and.
of course, one can get table, couch
and chairs to match easily. Some of
the new wicker chairs are really enor-
nous, having very high, broad backs,
and arms that are fiat and broad
enough for quite a library of books.
They look very summary and comfort
able, but one must have plenty of
house or porch room for such furni-
ture Clothes hampers and waste bas-
kets are now made to match chairs
and tables in weave and color. Such
harmony is satisfying. as it makes in
conspicuous these useful, but not al
ways ornamental, furnishings.

FOR AUTUMN WEAR
HEAVIER DRESS MATERIALS DIS.
TINcTLY ADVISORY.
Foulards and VoiIes Seem to Fill the
Bill Better Than the Lighter
Stuffs Come in All
Shades of Colors.

When replenishing the wardrobe at
this time of year, it is well to select
materials that will not be too thin to
wear as autumn days approach.
Usually the linens-the coat and
skirt suit and the jumper dress-are
still fit to wear, while the frocks that
seem to suffer most in summer time
are the sheer lawns and dimities that
are used for afternoon festivities and
Sunday-goto-meeting occasions.
Ones wardrobe usually contains
three or four of these gowns, and they
are the most charming and dainty
things imaginable, but toward Septem-
Der there grows a need for something
fresh, something appropriate for after
Moons and evenings that seems to
breathe of autumn.
In selecting such a gown choose a
material that is soft, yet not so pliable
that it is almost impossible for the
home dressmaker to manage.
good material for such a gown is
foulard, or one might use crepe
foulard or wolfe. OF course, the very
newest dresses are of satin, but, while
this may not be expensive-for lib
erty satin is procurable for rs cents a
yard-the material is so narrow that
ii requires great deal to make even
the simplest dress.
VOiles, on the other hand. are quite
possible, and we have eolie1ne and
many materials which are called by
various names, each interesting in it's
own way.
We are all familiar with eolienne.
1t is material of silk with a cord eff
feet running across the breadth of the
goods. Its prices range from one to
two dollars the yard and it measures
46 inches in width. Besides the plain
eolienne there are variations Of the
same. Some are woven with a silk
diagonal, while others have a broken
line. All of the eoliennes are soft and
pliable and make up beautifully in the
present mode. The eolienne with
fancy designs costs two dollars the
rard
OF voiles there are three varieties:
silk, wool and cotton. Cotton volta
is appropriate only for summer wear,
but wool wolfe is the material that is
always worth buying, for it wears per-
fectly and always looks well. 1t comes
plain and with q Swallowed check, and
usually costs from 81 to $3.50 the
yard. Plain wool wolfe may be pur-
chased for as little as rs cents the
yard, and it measures from 40 to 46
inches. VOiles must be made up over
silk, and usually taffeta is best for
the purpose.
Silk voiles are thin and soft and
smooth to the touch. They may be
found in two or three qualities, rang
ing from one to three dollars per
yard. There Is a chiffon wolfe which
is very fine and is almost as thin as
chiffon. This sometimes has a design

VeIvet-Faced Fabrics.

Because of it's soft and clinging
characteristics, velvet and velveteens
are suddenly coming into vogue, espe
cially for the more elaborate order OF
tailormades, although they will be
worn in short severe suits during the
winter by girls who are within sew
eral years Of making their initial bow
to society. For afternoon reception
costumes, those in chiffon and Lyons
velvet will, of course, have the long
skirt slightly trimmed with chenille.
jet or gold bullion, and coats of any
length from SO to SO inches, usually
bearing direCtoire earnSrks, and al.
ways with full-length sleeves. When
velvet is employed solely as a ma.
terial for street suit, its trimming
will be simpler and of the satin band
or fancy braid order, as was the case
last season with the comparatively few
costumes worn of that fabric

To Preserve Lemons,

To preserve lemons many have re-
sorted to placing them in jars of wa
ter, changing the water every day
This will keep them for a number of
days, but if it is desired to keep them
a long time in hot weather they should
be painted over with the white or the
mixed white and yolk of eggs, and
after drying they can be placed, not
touching each other, on a shelf and
left to take care of themselves. OF
course every part of the fruit must
be covered with the egg, which on dry
ing forms an air-tight covering that
preserves them.

To Clean Grease Pan.

To many housekeepers the work OF
cleaning the pan under the broiler Of
a gas range is a distinct horror. Here
is an easy way: Keep on hand little
paper bag of cornmeal. When ready
to clean the pan sprinkle upon 1t
enough cornmeal to absorb the grease.
Then take a broad scraper-a cake
turner is the best-and scrape off the
corn meal. The grease comes with it
and leaves the pan clean and ready to
be washed easily with hot water.
Greasy dishes may be treated in the
same way. Five cents worth of corn
meal lasts long time. and the slight
expense is more than balanced by the
sweetened temper of the dishwasher.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cent?
