THE USEFUL SEWING TABLE.
Martha Washington Style Is One OF
the PrettieSt.

Sewing tables, which come in every
shape and variety, are always useful
and pretty pieces of furniture, partic-
ularly in a fiat or apartment The
Martha Washington sewing table, that
happens to be the rage at present, is
one of the prettiest in these designs,
and is very much copied in the modern
furniture, and the antique dealers ad-
vertise them extensively, but it is
doubtful whether the genuine speci
mems can be found so readily, and if
found and properly authenticated they
are generally very expensive.
The empire sewing table, which has
the square shaft base and the plain
legs, and has two drop-leaf sides, is a
very god piece of small furniture, as
besides the additional room across the
top, it has two deep drawers with
glass handles. The Chippendale sew
ing tables, with the fiuted legs and the
three drawers, one with space for
spools and silks, are also much used,
and the clawfoot and empire designs
are endless in their variety and price.

faint, sweet voice answers timidly:
Come in"
Els heart lighted by hope and love
his whole form trembling with anX,
iety to take his bride within his arms
the thought that she is his and safe
making his flashing eyes very tender,
the eager bridegroom opens the door.
Reclining on a lounge in a white
robe her head bashfully turned from
him, the long, beautiful, almost dis.
heveled hair streaming over her Shout
ders, is his rescued bride.
She is in nook of the big room well
frOE the faint candle light.
He passes an arm about her slender
waist and kisses her passiOnately. Her
lips respond as sweetly and clingingly
as ever did those of young bride.
But even in the midst of the ;.iss,
Barnes starts back with a sharp,
amazed cry of almost horror: MY
God, Sally Blackwood!"
And the lady turning to him so that
the candle light shines upon her radi-
ant features that are almost laughing,
says archly: Yes, I'm all here, La
Belle Blackwood. 1t is a little sur
prise, is it not. my ardent bridegroom,
Mr. Barnes of New York;"
my heaven, how did you come
here?" Burtons voice is hoarse with
amazement.
How? In Cipriano's swift yacht
and afterward on a Corsican pony"
And why?" An awful anxiety has
crept into his voice.
Why? To save your life!"
ITO save my life?" Burton's tone
is incredulous.
Yes. l guessed from Cipriano that
they were Turing you to Corsica for
your death. l came here to warn you"
And Mr.. Ruggles?" remarks Barnes,
still astounded.
ooh, Ruggles quarreled with me;
got jealous of you or Cipriano, don't
know which. l was tired Of Dan.

Over them IL sifted tiny shower of
sugar, which barely conceals the pur.
pie and yellow tints. These blossoms
cost 80 much as 80 cents. II every
guest should decide to eat one 1t can
be seen how much of an expense such
a dish would be-
Among the 'candied fruits which are
to be found in all shops none costs so
much as the candied mint But 1t is
in the end less expensive than some
of the others because so little of 1t
Is required. A pound of candied mint
costs more than four dollars But a
taste is all that anybody requires, SO
strong is the flavor. The oldfashioned
sugared violets have been almost en-
tirely superseded at dinner by the
new candied reproductions of the f1ow-
ers. These colored flowers in candy
are arranged just as the natural flow
ers. There are not violets and rose
buds, jonquils and fieur de lis all in
one bonbonniere. The same color
scheme is maintained throughout all
the dishes. Just as the real jon
quils are grouped together in the
flower vases, so are the yellow sugar
blossoms placed together with no
other flower to break the color
scheme.
Fortunate nowadays is the hostess
who possesses low, fiat candy dishes.
The tops are covered with fine white
perforated papers and on them the
flowers are laid. They must not be
crowded together, as in that way
much of their effectiveness is lost
They are placed so as barely to touch
They do not retain nearly so much of
their beauty when put into deep dish.

OF CANDY
NOVELTY OF THE SEASON IN
TABLE DECORATION.
Rosebuds, violets and Jonquils Nearly
as Costly as the Real Flowers
Mint Most Expensive of the
Candied Fruits.

There have never been more elabo-
rate decorations for the table than
there are this winter and they are
for the sake of novelty made of candy.
They are nearly as costly as the real
flowers.
Rosebuds somewhat smaller than
the original are made in pink and
white and glisten like their natural
prototypes with dewdrops. They cost
Is cents each, while violets as large
as the best of the natural ones and
seemingly lacking only the fragrance
of the real flowers cost five cents
more. Jonquils are made somewhat
smaller than the real size and so are
the exquisite purple flags, which have
the same variety of shades as the orig
inals. The candies are an expensive
item at dinner when the guests take
it into their heads to eat them. II
rarely happens, however. that more
than one or two persons make this I'M
usual use of them.
None of the table flowers is so elab-
crate as the large pansies. They are
also preserved in the natural colors.

CARE IN WASHING LAcES.
Precautions Will ProIong Usefulness
of Dainty Garments.

Colored embToideries should be
moderately warm water. They must
never be boiled nor allowed to lie wet
after washing. Instead, they should be
hung up Immediately to dry in shady
place.
Sunlight will fade the colors, and
boiling or lying in a wet heap will
cause them to run.
An added precaution we'll worth
adopting is to immerse the piece pre-
vious to washing it in water contain
ing a cupful or two of vinegar, the OBJ
ject being to neutralize the alkali of
the soap.
Embroidered and lace-trimmed
pieces should be taken from the line
while but half dry and Immediately
ironed to secure the best result
Never iron lace with the point of the
wrong side over several layers of
flannel covered with a sheet of old
linen.
Never iron lace with the point of
the iron If you would have it look
like new. Pull and pat it into place,
picking out the loops with hairpin
or pointless darning needle or bodkin
Danspen it with a wet cloth and press
with the reverse iron, using it's heel
only.
When ironing circular centerpieces
and tablecloths see that the iron
moves with the straight grain of the
cloth. If this method is followed the
circular edge will take its true line.

The White Linen Skirt.

The white linen skirt is so useful
that all women should have one or
more among their pretty spring and
summer garments. Now select good
linen, say 75-cent or one-dollar kind,
and get it thin. 1t launders much
nicer and you can have a few plaits,
where heavy material cannot be
treated In this manner. The new
skirt is made high at the waist and
many of the new models show stitched
bands around the lower portion of the
skirt. Linen shrinks much and a
skirt pattern should be dampened and
ironed before the pattern is cut. It
may ruin the fresh luster of the linen
which Is so pretty, but, considering
the skirt must be Numbered, 1T is the
part of wisdom to first shrink the
material

not actually in use. 1t can be made
in any strong piece of silk, satin or

The hills are changed to amethyst
The wales are changed to gold,
The dawn Is veiled in frosty mist
The wind Is growing bold,
No bird wakes up the morning now
With matin' from the dell.
The empty nest stares from the hougil
Which hid 10 long so well.
The flowers that We held SO dear
Are withered now and gone.
The scented petals all are sore
And down the wind are blown
But one alone is Flashing bright
The torch of goldenrod,
Like one star in a stormy night
sun point to hope and God.
