Those merry Widows"

The masculine paragraphers are
having a good deal of sport this
spring with the new s,yled Merry
Widow sailors, on account of their
immensely. We presume, however,
that it is merely a case of "sour
grapes" because they cant wear
them, themselves. The following
is sample of their witticisms:
Directions for trimming Merry
Widow sailor. Take one cart wheel.
Superimpose on the hub one wire
waste paper basket. Stitch on a
cover of white fishing net, over
green Mosquito bar from your last
seasons camping outfit. Around
this crown bank few sun flowers
and daisies, brown roses and cerise
and crimson chrysanthemums, a
bunch of tall grass and spray of
lavender lilacs, Alice blue hyacinths
and a stock of hollyhocks, purple
and yellow petunias pink, verbenas,
and candy tuft interspersed with the
blue and brown for-get-me-nots.
Next take So yards of lavender rib
bon. edged with cerise and construct
number of loops for either side of
the front of the hat, extending from
the center of the front Of the crown
to either outer edge of the brim, us
ing as brace or stiffening long strips
of bamboo. In the center of this
dainty bow, place garden gate, the
latest fad in a Merry Widow hat
buckle. Should the ribbon not be
forthcoming, two canoe paddles, Sc
cured by the above mentioned buckle
and appropriately tinted will serve
satisfactorily. A golf stick, gar
den rake and flag pole will give a
jaunty effect as hat pins. These are
only few hints in regard to the ma
terial for the home manufacture of
the popular" Merry Widow hat.

both sides claiming the victory until
the count disclosed the result.
The temperance forces have put
up hard campaign, to which the
victory is due in part, but the gen.
eral opinion seems to be that the
public has been satisfied with the
conditions existing for the past year.
One peculiar feature of the cleo
tion was that while license was de-
feated by II votes. the three alder
men elected were all pronounced
license men. 1t would almost seem
that the result on the license ques-
ton was due to some underlying
cause, rather than to the right and
wrong of the proposition. How
ever, Miller will be dry for another
year, at least.
The license question was fought

METHODS OF COOKING MEATS.
Water Destroys Flavor of Roast Lamb
For SteWed Chicken.

Never pour water into the pan in
which you roast lamb. Rub the meat
with salt and pepper and scatter flour
lightly over the top. Then cover with
the leaf of fat which comes with the
roast. Cover with second pan of
same size and haste with the juices
of the meat. Water destroys the fla
vor.
When ordering Hamburger steak,
select the meat Do not permit the
butcher to put in tailings and dis
colored scraps. Fresh rump or round
is best. Have it first ground, then
laid ON the meat block and the onion
chopped into it with cleaver.
To get best results in stewing chick

methods, disjoint the fowl, wipe each
piece clean and drop into water just
coming to a boil. Cover tightly and
set back on the stove. to simmer very
gently. When about half done add
salt When the meat is just ready to
drop from the bone you will find your
quantity of milk, thicken with flour
and then add pepper and parsley
chopped fine. Serve on crisp toast.
If you intend to serve cold ham
whole parboil and then bake it.
Scrub the ham thoroughly and soak
over night in cold water. Next morn
ing wipe off clean, lay in cold water
in a granite iron pot and bring just
to a boil. Pour off this water, add
more cold and bring to a boil the Sec
Ogd time; add handful of bay leaves
and some whole cloves. Simmer for
two hours, remove from the pot, peel
off the skin, lay in a dripping pan
in which you have poured a cup of
water and one of sherry. Cover with
bread crumbs and pepper, bake until
golden brown.

A little flour sprinkled in the pan
when eggs are frying will prevent the
sputtering hot fat that is so disagree
able.
Mud stains RAY be removed from
tan leather shoes by rubbing them
with slices of raw potato. When dry
polish in usual way.
Finger marks on paint can be cas-
lily removed by rubbing with a clean
white cloth dipped in kerosene. The
wood should afterward be wiped with
a dry cloth.
If muslin curtains are needed in a
hurry for a kitchen or bathroom,
they can be washed, slightly starched,
shaken hard, pulled into shape and
hung UP without ironing.
Sheets, pillowcases, towels, table
cloths-all folded linens-should be
laid upon the shelves with the open
and hemmed ends toward the wall, the
round folds outward. The effect is
heater to the eye, and articles are
more easily taken out.
Small punctureS in hOt-water bags
or rubber gloves may be replaced by
applying a small patch of tailors'
mending tissue; moisten with common
chloroform, lay on a second patch
and moisten again, until four or five
patches have been applied. The chic
reform dissolves the tissue and when
it evaporates leaves a firm patch.

a Cure for Stained Walls.

We have a large chimney which
stained the wall paper in spite of sue
cessive coats of size, paint, varnish
and shellac. A paper-hanger rene
died the matter by pasting sheets OF
tinfoil over the spot, taking good care
to smooth out all wrinkles. When this
was thoroughly dried the chimney was
thoroughly repapared. We have not
been bothered with any stains since.
The foil is to very thin it may be
used under any paper without danger
of showing through. Of course, the
wall was first cleaned of the old paper.
