FOR RECIPES.

The girl who has just been married would be delighted with a booklet made from. unruled tablet paper and tied into book form between cardboard backs, neatly covered with gay .chintz or water-color paper.
 If the latter is used, narrow gilt line can be painted as a border and on the front can be lettered, What Mother Used to Make" or "Favorite Dishes"
 There should be 6 page for each day of the year. and on each one should be clearly written time tested recipe that cannot be found in a printed cookbook. A recipe can be written on each side of sheet. or, if it seems better to use only one side, on the opposite blank page could go menus for different meals, quotations about eating and odd bits of culinary infor- nation.

THE PUBLIC ExEcUTIoNER OF
 FRANCE.

The public executioner of France is e grim joker. for he calls his two guil- iotines This girls" probably because they are eso killing" He has dropped 12o heads into the basket and does not shrink from this public service, or feel any remorse. He calls attention to the fact that of the 120 criminals he has executed only one had reached forty years, and the other 119 were between IS and 2b years of age, which shows how necessary it is to do our reform work with the juveniles. Ana tole Deibler, who is a horticulturist as well as public executioner. clips off heads as he does his pansies, with a feeling of satisfaction. for he says had these culprits lived they might have committed many and many a crime which the knife has prevented. Being conscious of protecting the community is enough to make him forget all else.

Hand-TueLed Waists.

The latest Parisian novelty is the hand-tucked waist.
 If intended for dressy occasions, it is a very clever idea to do the tuck ing in fine gold or silver thread, which gives an added touch of color.
 If the blouses are intended to be worn with a colored sNi,t. inst,aA of using gold or silver thread, one might use heavy silk floss in the same shade as the skin.

Care of Broons.

Your broom will wear longer and better if kept clean.
 Twice a week it should be dipped in a bottle of boiling suits, afterwards being rinsed in cold water run from the faucet.
 This operation not only cleanses the broom. but makes it at once pliable and tough.
 Carpets retain the pile and tinting longer when swept with clean broom and if for this reason only the process is worth while.
 Don't stand your broom on broom end. but upside down in the corner.

LACKED COLLAGE.

Whoever introduced the bill to abolish the state police had not the courage to appear in its support. This means that the organization will re-

Spring flowers, with the sole excep- ton of tulips, have wonderful powers of endurance, and jonquils will be good for a week as cut flowers for decora- rions.
 Mignonette has been known to last longer than seven days, but the diff culty with this deliciously fragrant flower is that it's own stems contami- nate the water very quickly, and so the jar in which they are placed re- quires thorough washing with soap every day.
