OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY oALRYMPLE.

With the continued craze for the "sa- lome dance." the Greek dance,' the Egyptian dance," and every other form of terjsiohorean art, the nimble toed danseuse is perhaps more discussed than she has been for many years.
 As a matter of fact, the purveyors of amusement in America and their French men are slow to import this particularly popular fad, for since 1904 Europe's prin cipal cities have enjoyed Isadore Duncan, La Sylphe, Monde Allen and various other artists in their specialties. To such of us as like the Athenians of old are eternally looking for something new to be entertained with, the doctrine of better late than never" is one which has been forced upon us in this case by delin- quent theatre managers But we are doubly repaid for waiting, as every play house through the country is making dancing a speciality.
 There are all sorts and kinds of dancers. Fat and lean, tall and short big and little, homely and pretty, graceful and awkward, but each and every one brides herself in her interpretation of the Sa-
 
 in physical measurements and require ments to the original as described in the New Testament
 As matter of fact, we are given very little light on the subject of the much discussed damsel in Biblical lore. This Bertillon system of measurements, as ap- piled to the real heroine, seems to be slightly imaginary.
 There Is absolute reticence in every account of salome in the Bible, with ref erence to her appearance. We are told by Matthew that "The daughter of He- rodias danced before them, and pleased Herod' Mark records that "The daugh- ter of Herodias came in and danced and pleased Herod and them that sat with him." Not one of the four evangelists so much as calls the damsel by her name. We certainly have a right to consider Salome comedy. She was not ill-favored or lacking in beauty, we judge, but as a matter of fact we know no more about her charms than we do of the Queen of Sheba's brilliancy. It is not at all un- likely that if the Salome dance as orig inally executed by this daughter of He- rodias were presented today that many would be disappointed.
 As with the pretty worm of Mus that kills and pains not" which the ubiquitous press agent described Miss Odette Valery in London as being the victim of in her Egyptian passeu, concluded with the death of the Egyp tian queen from the sting of an asp, the artiste employing for this purpose genuine snake must be taken with a grain of salt.
 Salome and Cleopatra! What an inspiration, for the artiste! Shakes peare's Glorious Sorceress of the Nile,' and the Salome of Flaubert's poetic vision! Painters and poets, composers and dancers have essayed to emulate your beauty and your grace-but many have done you irreparable wrong!

Apple Pie in Rhyme.

From the Chefs Wife. How would make my apple pie To tell you I will try: Some think the crust the main thing, But guess at the quantity put in. Into the flour put salt and best lard. Mix with cold water until quite hard Roll piece out, but not too thin, And before the apples are put In Spread on the bottom all smooth and nice Half cup of sugar. pinch of salt and nut
 meg for spice.
 Fare, core and slice apples, about four If not very large 1t will take more; Spread them on even, all round about But in the middle take a few out; Wet the edge of under crust all around, Put on the upper crust and press 1t down, Make a cut in the middle an inch or
 about,
 And tte pie will never run out, Time for baking is limited by some, But I bake mine until done.

Ravaaes of Boil Worms.

Jackson, Miss, September 7-(Special) From every section of the state come re- rcrts of the ravages of the boil worm, especially from the delta section of the country where the cation grows rankest and where there seems to have been more rain than elsewhere. Farmers coming to town bring pockets and sacks of bolls that are dead anu dried up, all showing the puntturc of the worm. The boil weevil is making his presence felt in the oount:es in the southwestern part of the state and between Inc cwo pests there is small chance that Mississippi will harvest the bumper crop that was pror,is ed month ago

than those of iron and are much moro lasting than those made of tin. They are easier to keep clean, and are to be found in a multitude of shapes and sizes. If copper or brass utensils are used the utmost care is necessary in the matter of cleanliness as they are easily af- fected by acids or alkali and their salts are poisonous. Oxalfc acid is the best thing to be used for cleansing them. The cook should remember that bright surfaces retain heat and therefore sauce pans should be rubbed as bright as can be.

," A Tennessee Party" :" the Lat
 est Fad.

Have you heard of the latest mode of entertainment? It is called a "Tennessee Party" and 1t is something very unusual. 'Salome-wearied," "Devil-haunted, Mer- ry Widow-tired New York, always in search of some new sensation, has gone to the regions of Chinatown and dragged up to the circles of luxury the new and insidious, but illegal, fad known as the Tennessee Party" which in reality Is nothing less than the use of drugs
 The idea is that an invitation IS ex- tended to a large number of people, who go to the party gowned in the height of fashions and elegance, as they would to any. other function. Upon their arrival, having ensconced themselves comfortably in luxurious arm chairs, the solution, which consists mostly of cocaine, is sprayed into their nostrils and when the indecent panorama of exhilaration has begun, the stories and visions are related to each other.
 It is replica of De Quincy's opium stained dreams which these deluded pleasure-sseking people are striving for. and which has become so prevalent that the legislature of New York state, and the board of health have taken the mat ter in hand. 1t is estimated that S590 a day is being spent for the deadly drug It seems that the grand old state of Ten nessee was libeled by having its name ap- piled to the function. When the fad was first originated the habitutes of 1t would go to the drug stores to purchase the cocaine. which was sold for 10 cents 8 package. The cocaine victim several times day would ask for "ten-of-c." It was an easy slip from "ten-of-c" to ten nessee" and hence the name

Cynicisms from the Two
 "Devils."

The two versions of Molnar's play, "The Devil" are still the talk of the theatrical world, and the clever sayings of the Imp of Darkness are quoted tremendously From the Oliver Herford translation, which MT. Edwin Stevens is playing, some of the cleverest are as fol- lows:
 Devil-I dabble in everything. And ale ways at improper moments.
 Devil-Whatever slips through our fin- gers that is just the one thing we want
 
 Devil-A life that has not been squan- dered has not been lived
 Elsa-We are two perfectly sane peo- pie about to make a serious contract with our eyes wide open, instead of blinded by infatuation like crazy lovers in magazine stories. What other contract made by crazy people would be valid for one minute? And this is for life- time.
 Olga-A good conscience is like a warm bath-one feels so comfortable in 1t.
 
 Devil-Forgive me- Madam. for open- ing my eyes at a moment when. for propriety's sake. I should have at least kept one eye shut.
 Mimi-I loved him-but what's the use7 It's like the railway; the station is there and the train comes in, and then the train goes away-and the station cannot run after it. If the station is small, the train only sops a minute and-one must wait until another train comes.
 MT. George Apliss, who is playing the version of MT. Konta and MT. Learned, has the opportunity of saying these bright thnigs:
 The Devil-The artist should never marry. The wife swears to be at your side until her dying day, but pretty soon she steps in front of you. Jolan-Not the true woman! The Devil-You are right, not the true woman. There Is. however, only one true woman-the other fellows wife
 
 Tho Devil-she does not love her hus- band. Her husband, therefore Is either a very common fellow or a genius. The unloved husband Is always the one or the other
 The Devil-The candle burns, fickers, goes out. But at least 1t has burned. What men call code of ethics was de- vlsed by the strong in order that they might rule the weak. The strong, the successful. take good care not to live up to 1t themselves.
 
 The Devil-People who are content to be poor stay poor. The rich have arranged all that.
 The Devil--If you ladies would go on

tine. Both of these women have been very popular abroad, and with their dis tinguished husbands, have enjoyed much prestige.
 In 1874, when the author of "Tess of the dUbervilles" d married the niece of Arch deacon Clifford, she had already shown a decided talent for literary work. Since their marriage MT. and Mrs. Hardy have been most congenial in their work, and Mrs. Hardy>has published several volumes of poems.
 
 Mrs. Max Pemberton was Alice Tassaud, the daughter of the late Joseph Tassaud, and is considered one of .he brightest wo- men in England She married Mir Penn berton almost 25 years ago, and has been. closely identified with his literary career.

Cheese and Pepper Salad.

One of the most delicious salads that can be made combines green peppers and cream cheese, string beans and lettuce. Use the smallest string beans you can get and have them tender as possible. After boiling thoroughly mix with the cream cheese. Then take the green pep pers, open and remove the inside. Cut them at the bottom so they will stand up, and fill them with the beans mixed with French dressing. On the top of each pepper put spoonful of cream cheese and set the peppers on lettuce leaves.

 tables.

When disturbance in the kitchen oc- CUTS from the meats, vegetables or fruit kettle burning or scorching, instead of boiling, the nose at once reports that something is wrong and needs attention The first aid to the injured, so to speak. is to remove the kettle from the fire and place 1t in a pan of cold water. The steam then with its pungent odor of burning or scorching food endeavors 10 pass downward toward the chilled ves- sel and relief Is immediately assured
