MERITS OF THE BYRON COLLAR
OeservedIy Popular, and Will Be Wcrn
 All Winter.

'Tlte round, low collar known as the Dutch or Byron cellar, which came into fashion last summer, has so gainud in popularity that women will wear it indoors all winter It is much more comfortable piece of neck wear for everyday use than the high turnover collar, which catches one un- der the chin, or the high stock with it's prodding whalebone.
 This Byron collar is made of linen, without ornament, or of embroidery and lace with a ruffle at the edge It is attached to the neckband of the blouse and finished in front with a wide loose bow.
 This kind of cravat is very much in favor with all kinds of neckwear. Mes saline ribbon is used in various colOrs and the ends and loops are almost the same length. It is called the Byron cravat, and goes very well with the collar of that name.

Sheer HanqinqS.

Point d'alencon lace is returning to favor for sheer hangings in boudoirs. It is very light and delicate and in good patterns and quality 1t is very charming indeed. The difficulty with lace curtains of every sort seems to be that they appeal so directly to the vulgar sense of the luxurious that they are very sure to be copied in exceedingly coarse material. This makes even the finer qualities very undesirable, and so the fine muslin curtains which seem not to appeal at all to coarser taste have an advantage over those of lace.

Pen Picture of Gentleman.

Cardinal Newman has painted the character of the perfect gentleman: He is one who never infiicts pain. He carefully avoids whatever may cause a jar or a jolt in the minds of those with whom he is cast-all clashing of opinion or collision of feeling, all re- straint or suspicion or gloom or resent ment; his great concern being, make every one at ease aud at home.

Keepinu Ferns,

It is said that ferns may be kept fresh by giving them a steaming of three hours Once every week or so they should be put into the bathroom, shutting all windows and doors of the room to keep in the steam. The bath tub should then be filled with hot wa ter It will give out a good steam. The room should not be cooled suddenly after this is done.
 By treating the ferns to thls path 1t is not necessary to wash and spray the leaves, which does not give so sat isfactory a result.

Goats $15,OoO Meal.

A peasant followed by a goat walked into the local bank at Aurillac to pay in some money. As he was going out a clerk noticed that the goat had piece of paper in his mouth. He vaulted over the counter and caught the animal just in time to prevent it swallowing a bond worth $15,0 ,000 which it had nibbled off the counter.

Nurseries and Influences.

Countries and families are but nurseries and influences. A man is father, brother, German, Roman, an American; but beneath all these relations, he is a man. The end of his human destiny is not to be the best German, or the best Roman, or the best father, but the best man he can be.-George William Curtis.

RECIPE FOR MAKING
BEST PANNED
led CHICKEN

A famous entertainer whose delicious
panned chicken is noted among her
friends has consented to give the secret
OF the peculiar flavor that no other
cook seems to get.
II have never found broiled chicken
satisfactory. It was either raw or
burnt to crisp. and most of my cooks
get II too dry and tasteless.
Just by luck l hit on a plan of
cooking the chickens in the steamer,
basting with plenty OF butter and a
little water until they are almost taste
less.
Five minutes before they are to be
served I remove the steamer from
oven, take off the top and put the pan
on the bottom of gas stove exposed to
the flame of broiler.
"This gives the crisp browness that
can only be found in broiled chicken.
yet the meat is tender and juicy. Care
must be taken not to put the chickens
too close to the flame. and to watch
carefully as the meat at this stage
easily burns.
ITO make dressing remove chickens
to platter. put a tablespoon or more
of flour in the grease left in the steam
er, and stir smooth off the fire. Re
turn to stove, and let it brown a bit.
then stir in enough cold milk or cream
to make a smooth, thick gravy. Let
Il boil up once or twice. Season highly
with black and cayenne pepper"

LEMONS AS MEANS
OF AIDING HEALTH

While the health value Of lemons
taken morning and evening cannot be
overestimated, particularly to one Of
bilious tendency certain precautions
must be observed if full beneht is to
be had.
DO not make the mistake Of taking
too much lemon at once. To put the
juice Of a large or small fruit m a
glass of water is too much acid for the
ordinary stomach. No more than a
half lemon should be used to the
glass.
II the lemon juice and water is taken
twice day it is wiser TO squeeze the
Juice OF good-sized lemon into =
covered tumbler or small flask. Put a
third Of II into a glass Of hot or cold
water as preferred. This gives extra
juice for the following morning, and
saves trouble. The Juice should be
taken Immediately upon arising.
Do not think that lemonade is as
healthful as unsweetened lemon and
water. The former is Injurious to many
while the latter rarely fails TO agree
with every one who gives IL thorough
trial The addition Of sugar creates
an acid.

than 100000 Of the postals which. like the
stamps. sell for 1 cent each. have been
placed in the hands of the agents orders
for a second supply have already been
received.
The postal card is Of regulation post
card size, and on the back is a design
covering one-half the space. Santa Claus
and Father Time are shown in chummy
attitude, and they are watching 1909 so
down behind the horizon.
Master 1910 is shown just appearing
above the sky line. Under this is the in
scription: Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year" The other half of the space
on the back Of the card is blank for writ
ing.
The distribution Of stamps this year
will cover every state in the Union ex-
cept Wyoming and Nevada, where agents
have not yet been appointed. More than
S6.O0o0o0 stamps have already been for
warded TO agents. and more are being
rushed along as fast as they are turned
out by the manufacturers.
A feature of the distribution OF tho
proceeds of the sale which seems to ap-
peal to each community is that the money
is used in the community where it was
collected.

RUBBER PLANT HAS HARDY QUALITIES
MAKING 1T EXCELLENT HALL PLANT

The rubber plant, Ficus elestica, pos
sesses hardy qualities and thick.
smooth, glossy leaves. For Towering
plants the pelargonium remains the
tried favorite. Fuchsias are grown,
begonias and cacti-these for all the
year round.
Potted Towering plants from the
florists come at various seasons. They
will last, with care, for a few weeks,
such as the pottey chrysanthemum
and the poinsettia. Then farther along
toward the spring the favorite cycla-
men and the various spring Towering
bulbs and forced shrubs, orange trees,
bay and privet in tubs, make effec-
tive hall decorations.
House plants should be watered only
when they need IT, The test is ring
ing the pot by striking it sharply with
the knuckles A hollow ring shows
that the earth is dry and the plant
needs water. A duh, thuddy sound in
dicates the presence of plenty of wa
ter. Surface wetting daily is worse
than no water. The plant should be
soaked so that water runs out of the
hole in the bottom of the pot. A good
sized watering pot full of water is the
proper allowance for a twelve-inch pot.
II is good TO let the soil dry out also,
for that gives a chance for air to get
through the soil.
Sponging the leaves Of palms, etc,
is excellent but not necessary. Dust.
of course, chokes the respiration a
little. Proper watering, together with
a little care about opening windows
upon the plants. should preserve a
healthy condition. n a plant willis
and grows yellow, It is we'll to repot it,
these conditions arguing something
wrong with the soil Dead leaves
and twigs should, of course, be plucked
off.
Most house plants demand a good,
bright light, though not necessarily.
This is particularly true in the case
Of ferns. where sunlight is better. If
the house is to be closed up at any
time of the year, it is a good thing to
send the plants to a florist for care.
Often an ailing fern may regain vigor
from a few weeks Of greenhouse light
and even temperature.

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change Of Food Instead
Of Drugs.

II takes considerable courage for a
doctor TO deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient instead
OF resorting TO the usual list of medi-
cines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard
less OF the value of their pockets.
Here's an instance:
-Four years ago was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would stay
on my stomach, so that ! was on the
verge OF starvation.
Il heard OF a doctor who had a sum-
mer cottage near me-a specialist from
n. Y, and as a last hope, sent for
him.
After he examined me carefully
he advised me to try a small quantity
Of Grape Nuts at first. then as my
stomach became stronger TO eat more.
Il kept at It and gradually got so I
could eat and digest three teaspoon
fuls. Then ! began to have color In
my face. memory became clear. where
before everything seemed a blank. Ny
limbs got stronger and could walk.
So ! steadily recovered.

OPPORTUNITY.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

OEEONAUNllI.
Is the old adage, which is the theme
Of Ingalls, poem, that Opportunity
knocks but once at every mans door"
true one7
Or
Is it true, as some one has said. that
Opportunity knocks at our doors ev-
cry day. but that few OF us take the
trouble TO GET UP AND OPEN THE
DOOR?
There is the old illustration of New
ton and the falling apple. Newton got
up and opened the door Of his mind.
Opportunity came in In the guise OF
an idea. And that idea changed the
worlds thinking.
Many of us muffie our ears when
Opportunity knocks.
Napoleon never did that Opportu-
nifty never knocked at his door In vain.
His thinking was always ahead Of his
foes thinking He got up in the morn
ing before the enemy got up-if he
had TO stay up all night If the other
general had a larger army. Napoleon
segregated It into sections and whip
ped the sections one at a time.
Opportunity is an early riser.
Ethan Allen took Ticonderoga while
the garrison was asleep and did It IN
"the name OF Jehovah and the Cont.
mental congress" He had no author
ity from either. But he had his op
portunity.
|. Opportunity IS a great friend of US
II we recognize II.
Opportunity changes the battle OF
Winchester from defeat 70 victory; it
Is the Funston that obliterates rivers
from the map; it puts 10 rout the
armies OF the aliens: It turns the flank
Of the foe by stratagem; 1t controls
circumstances and makes a way for
itself.

Opportunity is rapplng. Keep your
ears OPEN
Keep your EYES open. You may

This is best done by putting little

cloth. Rub in circular direction. and
do not have the cloth wet enough TO
have water stand on the wood. Wipe
until nearly dry. then polish with a

This final polishing should be done
