plice model is excellent for the waist
with an outline of one-inch fold of sat

ecru or cream-colored lace. Beneath
the elbow-length sleeve falls a
straight cap of lace. The jacket for
this dress also shows some straps or

the jacket does not always have to

One of the favorite amusements

Men and women alike have to work

were the demands Of business, the
wants Of the family. the requirements
Of society, more numerous. The first
effect Of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things is COM

tated condition of the nervous sys-
TEN. which results In dyspepsia, de-
fective nutrition Of both body and
brain, and i'm extreme cases in com
plete nervous prostration- It IS
clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimilative func-
tions healthy and active. From per-
sonal knowledge. we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose.

Mohair is a good weight for a coat

mohair costume is excellent. For a
commuter who must spend a part of

GOOD FRUIT PUDDING

Two quarts OF water, cents worth
of sago, one-half cup raisins, one-half
cup currants, one-half lemon, one ap-
pie, one-half pound prunes, one wine
glass of raspberry vinegar. Wash
the sago in several washings of cold
water and add TO the two quarts Of
boiling water. Add the raisins,
prunes, currants. and the half lemon
cut In thin slices. When this has
all boiled for a matter Of twenty min
tues add the peeled and quartered
apple. When nearly done, which Is a
matter of one and one-half or two
hours, add the vinegar The best way
to know when it is done is when the
fruits are nice and soft and the sago
is clear like gelatine. This is an
old-fashioned Dane pudding, and Is
generally made for holiday desserts.
This has the advantage of being very
nutritious as well as pleasing to ones

This was fashioned of deep purple

yet did not depart from the becoming

will call for cool greens, yellows

April 19, twenty-six bishops from va
rious parts Of the world and more
than 400 other Episcopal clergymen

Church in America. Among the per-

present are Mrs. William II. Taft and
Governor and Mrs. John A. Dix. OF
New York. The new St Johns choir
will give a special program. The
great organ. built at a cost of $50, 900,
will be heard for the first time. This
is said to be the finest pipe organ in
the United States. The cathedral,
which crowns an eminence known
locally as the Acropolis, is still un-

For the Tea Table.

A novelty to serve instead OF candy
at afternoon tea is made from figs
stuffed with chopped nuts and a
fresh marshmallow. The figs are first
soaked in brandy, or sherry If pre-
ferred, for half a day, then pulled
apart and each half lined with the
nut and pulled around the marshmal-
low to make a round ball. The only
drawback to this delicious confection
is that it is somewhat 'smeary" to
eat.
