Easter Gifts.

The making Of Easter gifts has become
almost as established fact as the giving
at Christmas time, and the shops take
on a gala appearance with that idea in
view. This year for the daughters,
sweethearts and wives there are parasols
as varied as the hues Of the rainbow and
they make most acceptable gifts. Silk
stockings, gloves. dainty stationery and
bags OF all sorts are close second favor
ties. The expensive wells in boxes, Rus
sian enamel trifles are all acceptable to
the modern women even more so than
candy or flowers, that at this season are
always exorbitantly high and but a fleet
ing Joy at best. For mere man canes
and umbrellas were never more fascinat-

gorgeous. Tie or handkerchief cases Of
suede with his initials on make very nice
gifts While If he is an auto enthusias st

babies are quite in evidence at this sea-

The Japanese Wife.

From the time the Japanese wife leaves
the house of her father her life is COM
pletely severed from it's old connections
and given over to her husband. The
bride assumes an attitude of meek SUBJ
law.
singuarly happy and care-free. She has
reveled in festivals and wonderful XII
monos of all the bright coors of the rain
bow, her unfailing merriment a sign of
ner light-heartedness.
Being married, she must turn her back
upon all these simple pleasures. She goes
in white kimono (the color OF mourn
ing) from her fathers house, to signify
that she no longer lives for her own
family. Very often she goes to live in
the same house with her husbands par
ents. No matter how many servants she
may have, she at once becomes the chief
servitor OF her husband and his relatives.
Immediately upon her arrival her moth
er-in-law takes 1t for granted that she
will submit to be ruled by her, and at
once proceeds to exact implicit obedience
from her. The bride yields meekly. as
obedience is one of the greatest of jap
aneSe virtues
If her husbands people do not live in
the same house with her, it is only when
they come to visit her that she is able to
show them the Difference and respect that
are due them from her. She haStenS to
receive them. showing great soiicitude
for their health and comfort, and waits
upon them herself. passing the inevitable
tea cups as she kneels before them.
In the morning the wife must rise be-
fore even the lowest servant, as it is her
duty to open the house and cali the fam
lily and servants as we'll She must sup
ply her husbands wants and wait upon
him as he eats. When he is ready to
leave the house. she follows him to the
door. accompanied by all the servants,
sending him off with blessings and COM
pliments.
AS regards her dress as a wife. she at
once assumes quiet and staid colors, dis
carding altogether the gaudy raiment Of
her girlhood.
Ii is an old saying that the Japanese
girl resembles a bird of paradise, the
wife a dove and the widow a crow: this
last assertion made because. should her
husband die, the widow wears the most
gloomy and ugly colors. and shaves her
head in order to display her grief.
The housekeeping is simple and serv-
ants faithful, and her filial and wifely
duties are her greatest cares. Etiquette
requires SO much Of her in this respect,
however. that 1t is we'll she has not the
added worries of the servant problem

Art of Cooking.

In what is so called high-class cookery
there is nothing more important than to
know how to lard a fowl or q roast prop
erly, as oftentimes upon the success of
the operation depends the ultimate ten
derness of the meat.
The Harding needles come in sets with
all sizes needed for all purposes, and re-
quire only to be thoroughly cleansed
The regular Harding pork is very deep
and has firm rind. Very sharp knives
are required to prepare it without man.
Cling it. 1t should be cut In strips an
eighth Of an inch square, and from two
to ten inches long, according to the pur-
pose for which it is to be used.
Lay the piece Of meat to be larded on a
napkin on the table, where 1t may be held
securely in place with the left hand, while
the right hand uses the needle. Force
the pork strip into the end of the needle
and draw them through the meat one
inch apart. If one wishes to have a very
fancy roast strips of macaroni may be
drawn through the meat and strips of
carrot Of the same size. then when the
meat is done the slices will have the tiny
white rings and red cubes all through
them. In larding birds use the short
needles and smaller pieces of pork. be-
bone. Tiny birds too small to lard should
be folded in two slices of the pork and
tied with kitchen tape. most excellent
pot roast larded with macaroni is pre-
ing, lay on a white kitchen plate with a
small piece of suet in the bottom of it.
Cover with thinly sliced onion, a bunch
Of soup green's washed and cut fine a cup
Of vinegar and two of cold water. a bay
leaf. a Glove. six raisins, three thin slices
Of lemon, salt. pepper and a tablespoon
Of sugar. Simmer and slowly boil for
four hours, or until the meat is tender.
then remove the meat. free it from all
vegeta bles, strain the gravy. thicken it as
much as 1t needs to be, add six fresh
raisins and serve hot in a tureen. Garnish
the meat with fresh watercress. Serve
mashed potatoes so that the gravy may
be fully enjoyed, as it is particularly
good. JEANETTE NORTON.

Timely Hints.

Women who are interested in making
paper flowers will find the tiny English
daisies which expert paper workers are
now turning out most attractive and not
difficult to copy. The flowers are done
in pink, red and white paper, and look so
precisely like the real ones that at a lit
tie distance it is quite impossible to tell
them apart. They are used to fill small
baskets for decorations for luncheon Ia
bles. or are tied to the handles Of the
little boudoir baskets which are now pop
ular
Heavy gray linen is much used for the
background for embroideries which are
to be employed as house decorations.
Bedrooms and living rooms for country
houses are furnished in gray in many in
stances, and the linen is used for bed
hangings, cushion covers. tablecloths and
window hangings. Ambitious needle
women are embrOidering these articles in
quite elaborate designs in several colors
For one bedroom a set of hangings for
the bed and windows is being made Of
the gray linen embroidered with designs
Of wood fairies and fuschias in tones OF
violet, green, pale yellow and fuschia red

Return of Fichu.

If YOU are fortunate enough to possess
an attic with several or even one Of
the mysterious old trunks filled with the
odor of rose leaves and the f1neries that
grandmother used to wear. go to it at
once and lift the trays until you come to
the laces. There you are sure to find
several of the soft, shawl like draperies
grandmother pulled about her shoulders
and called fichus. The fichu is the new
est development in spring neckwear, and
with a few turns of the needle to modify
grandmother's laces to the present mode
you can be in the height of fashion.
Be it said most decidedly in favor of
the fichu. that it is quite the prettiest and
most becoming of the spring fads. 1t Is
so utterly feminine and withal SO quaint
and picturesque that it cannot escape in
stantaneous success. 1t seems to be made
to conceal within it's soft folds breaths Of
its wearer's favorite perfume, and the
knot at the front invites the addition OF
violets or valley lilies or a cluster OF
rosebuds to add another note Of person
atty to the costume ensemble.
The fichu is going to share honors with
the Dutch and sailor collars as touch
of crisp whiteness on the tailored suit.
In modified form it is made to fit '''V
shaped necks for street wear, and when
in place closely resembles the Dutch col
lar and jabot. The fichu is cut round to
the depth desired in the back. At the
front are long ends that are tied in a
loose knot. the tabs hanging down much
like the jabot. The effect of the. soft
folds and tie is graceful and distinctly
come to the ''V'' in the jacket or just
above it, and the ends may hang outside
the coat.
The finest Of handkerchief linen, dainti-
| ly embroidered and with insets OF Irish
crochet makes a handsome and practical
| fichu, especially if a deep edge of the
| lace is used. These may be laundered
and kept always fresh. Several models
are Of chiffon or chiffon cloth, with one
| or even two ruffles about the edge trIm-
| med with cobwebby valenciennes lace,
though they are only used for the fancier
| suits of satin and silk.
