MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.

She stood too long at her mirror, conscious smile

Slowly she lifts at last her velrety eyes to her
mother
Her long eyes. heavy ndded. with a warm and
langIid gaze;
sadder and almost stern is the answering look Of
the other.
And the keen eyes al With tears at the thought
Of long-pas; days
Her smile is fixed and grave. and her small foot

"Ah. child. you little guess what a WomAn's lot

'She can think no more OF self when once she be

You will be paid 10 make rough places

You will never be engaged because you
want the money. but because your en-

A Good Caramel sauce.

Comparatively few housekeepers can
make the good caramel sauce that is so
delicious TO serve with various custards
and puddings.
The success Of this sauce depends large
ly upon the preliminary browning Of the
sugar as. If it burns too dark. it gives a
strong. bitter taste 10 the dessert.
Stir six tablespoonfuls OF granulated
sugar and two tablespoonfuls Of water
over the FIRE till the water evaporates and
the sugar IS a delicate brown.
In the meantime put into another
saucepan the rind OF a lemon, cut thin.
half a pound Of sugar, little stick Gin
namon. and one and one-half pints Of
water Bring these 10 boil slowly, and
simmer for ten OF twelve minutes.
Add a glass Of sherry or half a glass OF
brandy strain into the caramel or
Drowned sugar and serve over the pud-

SILK HANDKERCHIEFS

In washing silk handkerchiefs care
should be taken 20 prevent their turning
yellow. They should never be boiled, OF
have any soap rubbed OF them
Make lather Of finely shredded white
soap and water. wash and squeeze the
handkerchiefs in il. press out all the
moisture possible. and dry quickly in the
sun Iron them while they are still damp,
but not wet.
White silk handkerchiefs used as neck
ties are sometimes cleaned very well with
dried and powdered starch in which a
little powdered blue has been mixed.
The handkerchief is spread over a clean
linen cloth; with pad OF clean white
linen. powder is rubbed over the silk.

folds Of slightly dampened linen are laid

HERoIsM OF TRAINED NURSE.
Her Battle Is Fought Quietly and
Little Glory Comes TO Her.


The trained nurse goes into battle
encouraged by none Of the blooe-stir-
ring incidents of the soldier. She is
often entirely alone; her struggle must
be quiet; and her antagonist is grim
and terrible and ever watchful. be-
cause it is death itself. Suppose IT is
you yourself who are suddenly smitten
in the midst Of your life and work,
says Anne o'Hagan in the February De-
lineator
With the coming of the trained nurse
you feel infinite relief from thanksgiv-
ing. You are no longer obliged to
struggle alone. to watch the door alone
lest that other one enter. The nurse
calmest of warriors, least grim of SEN
tinels. sits beside your bed and will
keep the vigil with you.
You transfer the battle to her. For
yourself, you win lie still and think
not OF the combat before you. not of
the turmoil behind you-that whirlins,
dusty conflict of the world which was
so important a little while ago--but OF
the great, important things-earth and
it's greenness. the wide. white country
skies on moonlight nights. the fash OF
bluebirds' wings in the September sun
shine. all the daily miracles you had
forgotten to watch when you were
hurrying TO those manifold appoint
ments OF yours.
Now you are IN the region where
only 'the mightier movement sounds
and passes. only winds and rivers, only
life and death"

FASHION KING on SHORT SLEEVES

BY no means do I disapprove OF short
sleeves with the evening gown when met
By long glove; nor yet with the after
noon toilette OF ceremony, likewise in
company with the glove. But indoors
during the day II is not desirable that
curtailed sleeve. which displays Just that
portion Of the arm that is only in such
rare cases really pretty; for 1t is either
as fiat as board, covered with down, or
quite an ugly red color. writes Worth.
the Paris dressmaker, IN Harper's Bazar.
And in no instance do I like the elbow
sleeve as the accompaniment Of a cloth
dress: IL IS far too hard in effect. II
short sleeves must be worn. they should
be made of lace anG soft fabrics. not OF
cloth. But this season there is a revuI-
sion in favor of very long sleeves that
reach down even 10 the knuckles OF the
hands.

MARAB0U FEATHERS.

Because marabou droeps. but does not
absolutely wither when exposed TO damp
ness. its value as a hat trimming is
greatly appreciated. and in many IN
stances il is being substituted for ostrich
tips. Or il is used TO exc out the more
costly plUmes. so that an ela5orate ha;
OF the picture order may be sufficiently
fluffy in appearance. Sometimes the mar
abou edging is combined with heavy lace
bands as a trimming for the lace-crovned
hats. thus giving them a more substantial
appearance. and these are exceedingly
smart when supplemented by marabou-
edged lace boas Of the same color.

FROM WOMAN S
POINT OF VIE w

The women who are making America
famous in the matter of beauty are those
who never allow a day to pass without
an outing OF some kind, either a drive or
walk. Generally it is walk. because
walking is a fad taken up by the smart
set. Presumably some sensible physician
whose word was sufficient TO set a fash
ion. advised a woman whose horror was
corpulency, to walk of the surplus tissue,
and other women who noted the results
followed her lead.
At all events fresh air is part Of many
feminine lives. and 10 IL can be attributed
the youthfulness and bloom OF matrons
as well as the freshness of their daugh-
ters' complexion. II has become a habit
like staying indoors, which women have
had for centuries Housewives have not
been accustomed to regarding a walk as
any part of a busy day, and they have
paid the penalty OF narrowness in per-
sonal appearance and health.
Physicians are responsible for many
things. good and bad. and their advice
has revived the popularity OF knitting
and crocheting. Both keep the hands from

work are popular, but dishwaShing is de-

One can get away from some parts OF
that task by using machine for washing
dishes. one that washes and rinses them
without wetting the hands. The dishes
are allowed 20 dry without wiping, but
they must be scraped clean before the
washing process begins. A flexible pal

labor. They can always hire service by

such a form that they tould be used with
safety 10 his brothers flesh.
In this he failed. but his father. the
blacksmith, perceiving the utility Of the
idea the lad had been at work on. took
it up on his own account. and eventually
turned out the safety pin that is in use
