salt fish and potatoes, and I'm afraid
they may not know hat they ought to
give thanks for that"
Cousin Sarah listened with interest
to the boys story about Jimmy Jaw
kins. the red apple and the salt fish.
Then she rose and said; You shall
take the turkey to them, dear boyi l
I'm sure it is just what your mamma
would like. Only l think you will
have to let me carry it for you. for it
Is almost as big as you are"
So Cousin Sarah tool the turkey on
Its great blue platter, and the boy
took the cranberry sauce in one hand
and a dish of apples in the other, and
off they went.
The people whom they met looked
very much surprised to see a young
lady carrying a huge turkey through
the street, but Cousin Sarah didn't
are In the least for that, but only
thought how pretty the boy looked,
trudging along with her. holding his
cranberry sauce so carefully and look
ing round every and then to see
II she was all right.
So they reached the poor little cot
tage where the Jawkinses lived, and
they stopped a moment outside the
door to take a breath, for they had
beer walking fast.
They heard a child crying inside.
and then a tired woman's voice said:

There is nothing but trouble and woe

washIna woolsn Garments.

The very best way to wash sweaters,
babies sacques, leggings and afghans
I'm fact, all garments knitted or GRO
cheted-of wool Is to sew the article
In a bag of cheesecloth or mosquito
netting. Then, wash the bag, with its
contents, in soft water with a good
white soap. The water must not be
cold; neither must 1t be very hot, and,
of course, the soap must never be
rubbed into the bag, the water being
soaped beforehand.
After rinsing in several waters,
which must be of the same tempera-
ture as the soapy- water, rip the gar
ment from the bag. but do not hang
It on g line to dry; lay it fiat on a
table without stretching; place IN the
air to dry; If colored, avoid the sun.
light, as it win fade It.
Some ammonia In the water helps
to keep wool garments soft The dis
astrous experience that many people
have had in washing sweaters Is due
to the fact that they wiring and stretch
them, which should never be done.
Simply crush the bag to squeeze out
the water, but do not wiring.

CLING TO THE PETTlcoAT.
American Women Are Slow to Adopt
the "Knicker."

In spite of the prominence Of di.
rectoire modes the petticoat still re-
tains it's hold in the affections of
American women
The lingerie petticoat is, in fact,
more a thing of beauty now than be
fore its prestige was threatened by
the "knicker."
1t is developed in batiste and sheer
linen and is nearly always finished
with Spanish Hounce of lace or en-
broidery.
This founce is generally attached
by ribbons and the petticoat ribbon
has now become an item in woman's
dress
OF late lingerie makers have In
eluded dimity In the list of petticoat
materials and use It just as they do
mulls and sheer muslins.
Dotted swiss is still regarded as one
Of the daintiest OF materials for the
petticoat founce. And the fanciful
bordered effects In this goods are
reconciling many women to the fad
Tor colored lingerie.
The quality of the ribbons is not re-
strictsd and the width is constantly
becoming more pronounced.

DOG WRITES WITH HIS TAIL.
Takes Chalk and Draws Lines for
Masters Tennis Court.

Upper Montclair, N. John B.
Kraft Of Upper Montclair, N. j. is the
owner of dog named Butts that is a
positive canine genius. Mr.. Kraft has
q tennis court and the marking of the
court has always been an arduous
task for him. The dog always
watched Mr.. Kraft attentively as he
marked the boundaries of the court
with white chalk.
Mr.. Kraft was surprised to see
Butts rub his tail in the chalk and
walk along the lines that were clearly
defined by strings stretched from peg
to peg. His master encouraged Butts
in the work and the dog has now
attained a remarkable degree of pro-
tcieney.
II Is no longer necessary for Mr..
Kraft to do anything but place the
guiding strings. AS soon as these pre-
liminaries are executed the dog rubs
his tail IN the pan OF chalk and goes
over the entire course with a fidelity
that results in perfect demarcations.

FISH IS HONEST BORROWER.
Huge Pickerel Returns $40 With SO
Cents Interest. 81

st. Paul, Minn.-Nathan Rosen stein
OF St. Paul last August went fishing
in the beautiful Lake Bemidji. R1sen-
stein caught seven sunf1sh ana a
perch. and was about to quit, when
an enormous pickerel made a furious
dash at his bait.
The suddenness Of the Strike"
startled the man, and he jerked his
pole, which caught In the flap of his
coat pocket. A ten-dollar gold piece
slipped out Of the pocket and rolled
toward the gunwale. Rosenstein
dropped the pole and grabbed TO, the
coin, but it slid overheard. Facilitated
by the sight, Rosenstein could but sit
and watch. The big pickerel, wrench
ing himself free from the hook, and
attracted by the shining coin, swung
under the boat. The great Jaws
opened, and the coin disappeared be-
fore Rosenstein's very eyes.
Only a few days ago Rosenatein
was again on Lake Bemidji and made
fairly good days catch. Trolling
back toward the dock In the evening,
he felt strike, and after a furious
ten-minute battle landed an enormous
pickerel. On splitting the big pickersl,
he found the ten-doliar gold piece lost
last fall.
He poked around with the knife and
uncovered So cents IN small silver
coins and pennies. It was interest at
the legal rate on the lost ten-dollar
gold piece.

Why cakes often Fall.

Because inferior ingredients are
used. such as rancid butter, inferior
sugar, damp -four, and doubtful eggs.
Because either the butter is insult
GENTLY beaten with the sugar or rubbed
into the -four, or the eggs are not beaten
enough.
Because the mixture is beaten after
the -four is added, whereas all that

The management OF the oven is not

too dark or too pale
Because the cakes are not carefully

THE TuRBAN AND ITS saIM.
Popular Headgear Is Seen In Many
Different Styles.

The turban, so much in vogue this
season, is round hat with a close
fitting brim that turns perfectly
straight upward to q height of from
two to four inches. The brim meets
the crown exactly or within a finger
space. The turban is fat across the
top, the width of the top being from
eight to ten inches.
The tcreador, or Spanish turban,
is an exception. The turned-up brim
comes only to about two inches of
the crown, which is oblong In shape
from front to back.
The toque is jaunty, small hat of
many shapes. It may be round like
the turban If it have height of brim
rising above the crown on the left
side. The back of a toque dips and
clings to the head. The front varies
in width In different models. It may
have close rolling brim, with a
height of seven inches on the left
side, receding on the right side to two
inches. In this case the crown, sep
arated three inches from the brim,
slopes toward the right edge In uni
son with the brim effect.
Some new toque models have
pointed or round effects in front with
dents in the sides or the back OF the
brim.
Toques are seen In the Napoleon
hat shapes. There is great variety
In the form Of the crown.
