Happily for the comfort of child

woman's dress are not favored for lit
tie girls frocks With the extremes
of fashion, tho imported things and
domestic ones designed for wealth and
opulence of taste, there are many
close limitations of grown-up follies-
skinny little skirts, pretty enough to
look at with their tight bottom bands,
and coats hobbled in at the bottom
and trimmed with the big revers
whose outer points drop to the waist.
For the sensible dress worn by girls
between six and ten years soft fin
lshed wool, plain or patterned, is ad-
mired above everything. For the
smarter of the little frocks, broadcloth
and basket serge are liked, velvet trim
ming the first perhaps and silk bands
or very handsome stitching the last.
Inc dress-up gown may be of voile,
marquisette, prunella, Grape or challie,

Frerch Dishes,

So deeply rooted and grounded are
we in the belief that French cookery
| is the sine qua non Of that art that
the impression fingers after the fact
has been demonstrated that though
France knows much, she does not
know all. Mark Twain, who appreci-
ated a good dinner and had also tho
courage of his convictions, wrote in
his pleasing way, of the ordinary din
ner, served as it is in Europe by the
French cook:
"The European dinner is better than
the European breakfast, but it has in
feriorities; it does not satisfy" We
must admit, however, that the French
have distanced us in matters of ecGn-
omy. They look with dismay uron
the huge roasts and steaks which are
found en- many American tables
Onion Soup With Eggs and Cream.
This is a delicious soup. Take six
white onions, cut fine, and fried a
light brown in tablespoonful OF but
ter. Then add quart of boiling
water and one pint of milk, season
with teaspoonful of salt and a dash
OF pepper, pinch of mace and tea
spoonful of sugar. Cook slowly for an
hour and strain; then beat four eggs
to foam, add cupful of cream, and
one tablespoonful of cornstarch mixed
with a little cold water; cook for a
few minutes to remove the raw taste
of the cornstarch, then add the eggs,
as the soup must not be boiled after
the eggs are added, as that will curdle
the soup.
Cream Fritters.
Take one quart of milk. one cup Of
sugar, one tablespoonful of butter,
half teaspoonful of salt, a cup of
blanched and chopped almonds, flavor
with orange. Scald the milk, add a
tablespoonful Of cornstarch mixed
with little cad milk. Add the sugar,
butter and salt and cook ten minutes.
Then add six well-beate1 eggs, spread
an inch thick in a buttered pan and
cool. When firm cut in strips an inch
wide and three inct.o> long; roll care
fully In fine crumbs, dip In beaten egg
and fry in deep fat Drain on paper

Sewing Machine Hint.

1t is often difficult to sew any thin
fabric. such as any OF the modish
yelling materials, or silk or muslin, on
the machine without puckering It,
This can be avoided by placing a
sheet OF tissue paper under the ma.
terial and stitching through the ma
terial and the paper. When finished.
the paper can easily be torn away, and
you will find that your work is quite

1900 to 1000 had assembled. Led
by a brass band, the whole as
semblance marched to the Illinois
Central station, and the mighty cheers
that went up when the train arrived
could be heard uptown. Seated in an
automobile. which was gaily bedccked
with the national colors. the ex-Gov-
ernor led the procession to the Com.
mercial Hotel. where the preliminary
speaking was had.
Hon. j. L. Hebron was the first
speaker. and his laudatory remarks
about the Ex-Governor elected as
great applause from his 1000 hearers
as did his dehunciation of the secret
ballot of the Legislature in the recent
caucus for United States Senator. He
was bitter in his denunciation Of the
methods which accomplished Varda-
man defeat, and stated that had not
the final session Of the caucus been
an unsuspected move on the part Of
the conservatives. which caught the
Vardaman clan minus seven men, the
result would have been different, and
Vardaman would now be Senator in
stead Of Percy. Mr.. Hebron was
hoarse from much speaking. and re-
peatedly had to pause TOR breath in
order TO make his voice carry so that
all the large crowd could hear.
He was followed by DR.. Broyles,
member Of the House Of Representa-
tives from Monroe county in char
acteristic Vardaman speech. Then

Vardaman stronghold, and today S
crowd was practically all pro-Varda-
man. The fact that Circuit Court
convened here today brought many
I, visitors to augment the crowd OF par
tisans, and that the Kings Daughters
we're celebrating today as tag day
added much to the variety OF the day;
but FIRST and foremost the TACT had to
be conceded bv all that the great mass
of the assemblage OF men, women and
children were strong partisans ot the
Ex-Governor.
Some Incorporate remarks with re
gard to the recent caucus were made
by the side speakers. but Vardamar
himself was conservative and tair
His address began at the public schoo
building at 1.30 o'clock and continued
