TREATMENT OF CUT FLOWERS
Simple Methods by Which Freshness
May Be Preserved.

Few persons know that violets, car
nations, etc., after they are cut re-
quire different care If they are to be
kept alive and fresh. Violets, for in
stance, after being worn become soft
and wilted. They may be made like
new by clipping a short bit from the
stems and putting the flowers into a
glass wherein the water reaches the
blossoms. The bouquet should not
be cut apart. Over the flowers and
glass itself piece of wax paper
should be placed and twisted down
tightly and the whole set in the re-
frigerator or out of doors If the wealth
er is not too cold-freezing. With this
treatment the Violets, unless dead, be-
come fresh.
A girl who wears these flowers FREE
quently has adopted an even simpler
method of freshening. For as soon as
she takes them of she plunges the
heads into cold water, and then puts
the bunch back in the box in which it
came, covering the flowers with the
wax paper always used as a lining
The box is then put out on the win.

varienated PUDDING.

Take one quart milk and divide into
equal parts. Take one part, set on
stove, and when it comes to boil stir
one tablespoon cornstarch in cold milk
and small pinch of salt; stir into
boiling milk until it cooks thoroughly.
Have new tin pan about three inches
wide and eight or ten inches long and
pour cold water into it so 1t will be
wet, and turn cornstarch in, spread out
evenly. Do so with each part. Stir
in the cold milk, the yolk of one egg,
and cook as before and turn in over
white cornstarch. When done spread
out evenly. Take other part of milk,
cook thoroughly as before, and take
red candy (blood drops, ten cents
WORTH, rinse them in milk SO it will
be real red. When done pour over
yellow part and spread out evenly
Take remainder of milk and crate in
one square chocolate and cook as be-
fore; spread over red part. Put away

strawberries, when cold turn out on
platter and cut in slices; pour straw
berries, about four tablespoons, over

Honey pron Cakes.

First, has your honey sugared? If
so, place the vessel containing it in
hot water till you can pour it out like
strip. It is fine on griddle cakes. 1t
gives puddings a fine flavor used in
stead of sugar. You will find the fol
lowing recipe for drop cakes excellent:
One-half cup cold water, into which
put one teaspoon (even) saleratus, one
teaspoon ginger, one teaspoon cassia.
one teaspoon lemon extract, little salt
Flour enough for regular cake batter
add one egg beaten, last. Bake in mod
crate oven Honey is also excellent
used with lemon and fiaxseed (the lat
tc- being steeped) for cough. Two
teaspoons honey in cup of hot water
taken just before retiring is delicious
besides acting as laxative.

INSTEAD OF BAKING POWDER.
Cream of Tartar and Soda Mixed Is a
Good Substitute.

The modern housewife is so accus-
toned to the use of baking powder
that when it Unexpectedly gives out
she fails to remember that cream of
tartar and soda mixed is an excellent
substitute.
Should a recipe call for baking pow
der you can use instead one level tea
spoonful of soda to two of cream OF
tartar.
1t is important in making biscuits or
anything that calls for these ingredi-
ents to see that the oven is ready be
fore the articles to be baked are ready
to go in it. The oven can wait with
out injury, the dough never.
To get the best success with baking
powder batters or dough they should
be quickly mixed and go into the oven
Immediately. A moderate tempera
ture is best, as too hot an oven will
burn while the bottom of the biscuit is
raw. Too slow an oven tends to heav
mess and toughness

FASHIONS IN BABIES CLOTHES.
Styles Closely Follow Those Adopted
by the Grown-Ups.

Perhaps the young mother may
think that when she comes to make
clothes for her baby she won't have to
worry her head very much as to what's
the fashion of the day. Perhaps she
thinks that baby clothes are always
the same If she does, she is a very
mistaken little lady, for clothes for the
littlest folks show from time to time
many of the innovations which make
the garments for grown-ups in the
mode. This is especially so this
spring. Even the long dresses for in
fants show the princess and empire
lines, and sleeves have diminished
greatly in size: The vogue for hand
embroidery Is also emphasized in baby
clothes; not only is it used on the lit
tie dresses, but on the long cloaks and
the dainty little flannel wrappers and
sacques.
1t goes without saying that If baby's
mother is the sensible little woman
that she is quite sure to be, baby will
have no frills and furbelows on his
clothes. Simplicity is, the fashion to-
day. And baby clothes reflect the
trend of the modes. Generally speak
ing, the distinction between baby
every day clothes and his dresses for
best wear is merely in the quality OF
the fabric When baby is expected to
look his finest his dress is of the
sheerest of nainsook, lawn or long
cloth, and sometimes washable cot
ton chiffon.-Woman's Home Compan.

had him almost ten years, and he has
not grown any older except in service.
He is even better to-day than he was
then, for he understands better how
to control me and keep me straight.
The crowd gave rousing cheer.
EGr. Carpenter slipped from Mr.. Taft's
grasp, the locomotive whistIed and the
train rolled away on it's vote-getting
tour.
"Hurrah for Sank Center!" cried
everybody on the train-except Mr..
Carpenter-and from that day to this
the obscure little town in the north
west has occupied warm spot in the
hearts of all the newspaper men.
But neither Sank Center nor any
other little town could hold for very
long the personality that was to be-
come secretary to the president of the
United States. When he was IL years
old, in 1884, he removed to California,
and most of his younger years were
spent on a big ranch near San Luis
Obispo. He attended public schools
in the Golden state, and then brushed
up at an academy. When he was
about 20 he returned to Minnesota and
entered the state university, where in
due time he was graduated, took the
law course, and was admitted to prac-
tice in 1897 In the year following he
took the degree of LII NJ, and was
soon after admitted to practice in
| California, where he returned to set
| tie down for life. He became connect
ed with the law firm of Bishop &
Wheeler, and it was while acting as
Mr.. Wheeler's stenographer and law
clerk that he got the message from
Mr.. Taft that sent him half way around
the world and put him straight on the
path to fame. Carpenter took the next
steamer after getting that message
and neither he nor Mr.. Taft has ever
regretted it. From that day to this
Mr.. Carpenter has been Mr.. Taft's
shadow, and much more useful he has
proved than most shadows. He has
been with him twice around the world
Mr.. Carpenter has already gained
for himself the name of the Silent
Secretary" which Daniel Lamont car
| ried through one of the Cleveland ad
ministrations, and which in later years
was held by George b. Cortelyou
| Those who know Messrs Cortelyol
and Carpenter will find q great dea
| If similarity between the two.

Mornina GLORY Of eauze For lair.

AS a rival TO the cloth of gold rose
with its beaded center, and the black
gauze rose with it's gold rim, comes
the morning glory of gauze.
This is to be worn in the hair as
an ornament of the Grecian knot. 1t
is also to be used, as the other flow
ers are, in the front of the corsage
for all social and evening affairs.
It is in perfect coloring and gives a
charming touch to filmy gowns OF
white or cream or pale blue.
If a girl wonders just what little
new touch she would like to have she
should get one of these flowers. The
morning glory goes with youth better
than the black or the gold rose.

To Keen cIothesIlne Drawn TIGHT.

Many wire and rope clotheslines are
put up between posts and kept there
permanently. In so doing with rope
line the uneven conditions of the
weather will cause the line to sag.
An eastern farmer devised an ar
rangement to keep the line tight at all
times. In this instance three lines
were used and connected to two bars
of which each bar was attached to the
top of two posts and each pair of posts
placed at the proper distance apart
At one end the lines run over pulleys
attached to the bar and the ends Of
the lines are weighted. The weights
would keep the lines tight at al
tines.-Popular Mechanics.

Black Lace sashes.

Now that sashes are accepted, the
designers are ingenious in their uses
of new materials. All kinds of rib.
bon have been, employed and the lat.
est thing is. black lace edged with
velvet
Wide Chantilly lace is used because
of its graceful design, and it looks
well over other materials. 1t is even
used over white satin gowns and
those of dull pink and blue.
It is bordered with two-inch velvet
ribbon or bound with piece velvet
draped round the figure in folds, then
fastened at the back in the center OF

buckle.
From this float out two ends much
wider at bottom than top.

Reducing Flesh.

Whatever else fashion hints there is
not the slightest rumor that flesh is
to be stylish in the near future.
Therefore women who are not thin
are keeping up all kinds of methods to
make them SO.
Live on noodles, is the cry Conse
quently this diet is strictly kept by
women who are willing to sacrifice
anything to be thin.
The latest remedy, however, is tt
drink camomile tea without sugar, al
hour after eating.
This is said to cure the most rebel
lious case, and turn one of barrel
shaped proportions into sylph-like lines
