PRACTICAL DESSERTS.

During the season Of fruit, and for
that matter, that is all the year round,
fruit provides a dessert that Is easy,
usually inexpensive and decidedly
wholesome. All fruit will not do in
dessert making, so W like a variety
of reasonably inexpensive dishes for
everyday use,
There is a large variety Of f~ritters
and hot cakes that may be served with
various sauces and are quickly and
easily prepared. The fat kettle Is
carefully covered and set away and
~fritters are being prepared.
Apple FrIttere.-sift together one
and q third cups Of -four, two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder and half a tea
spoonful Of salt; beat an egg, add two
thirds of a cup of milk and mix all to-
gether, adding two sour apples cut in
small pieces. Drop by %spoonfuls in
hot fat and fry a delicate brown. Roll
In powdered sugar and serve with cur
rant Jelly sauce. The sauce Is pre-

sugar and a third Of a cup OF water
FIVE minutes; add four tablespoonful
of currant jelly and when boiling hot
the juice of a lemon; strain and serve,
If a very nice sauce is desired, with q
handful Of candied cherries.
Baked Bananas kPorto Rlco)-Put
rather green bananas in the oven and
bake until the skins burst; serve with
butter.
Soufnes are another form of dessert
which may be varied in endless ways.
When baking, a shallow pan should
be used, as the weight of the mixture
tends to break the cell walls. When
the dish seems to be too shallow, line
it with a band of buttered paper that
stands up above the dish. Always sci
the pan into water to equalize the heat
in baking.
Coffee SouffIe.-Cook together three
tablespoonfuls each of butter ant
flour, then add a cup of black coffee
When thick add salt and q third OF g
cup OF sugar; cool and add the heater
yolks Of three eggs, and then add the
beaten whites. Turn into butterec

The animated newspaper" issued
by a French firm for display in NOV
Ing picture establishments Is said to
be the most costly newspaper issued
from the standpoint of the subscriber,
as one OF these reels costs many dol
lars. These films are very popular
with a certain class Of patrons of tho
movies They are edited IN much
the same manner as the typical Jews
paper. A corps OF operators is kept
ready and the editor Is In constant
touch with many sources Of news. A
soon as a promising tip reaches him,
the editor sends one, two or as many
men as he thinks necessary for the
purpose. Frequently the three films
are patched together to make one
complete reel. Correspondents are
maintained at different points, and
these are assigned by telegraph to 60
to certain points where their services
may be needed. Mine explosions and
railroad accidents are regarded as par
ticularly attractive features, and men
are sent at once to these whenever
they are reasonably accessible. Pic.
lures OF the debris and the work Of
removal are always objects OF interest
to patrons Of the movies"

WITH SEPARATE CROWN THAT CAN BIB

Sun bonnets have the double advantage
Of being picturesque and practical. Thi,
II is just as dainty and pretty as It can
be. It frames the child's face after a mos,
fascinating manner and at the same time
protects it from sunburn and tan. In ons
view it Is shown with a separate crown
that is buttoned into place and In the
other, the crown and brim are stitched
together, and 1t can be made In either
way with equal propriety, although the
buttoned crown provides easier launder'
ing. White linen, lawn and the like are
much used for bonnets Of this kind and
for more practical uses, plaid gingham,
and similar fabrics. Scalloped edges ara
extremely well liked and the little bonnet
made after the manner illustrated with
the brim embroidered and all the edges
scalloped is dainty and charming, but,
nevertheless, the simple plain bonnet that
Is made of plaid Bingham Is eainently to
be desired for the morning hours.
To make the bonnet for a child OF two
years of age will be needed u yard Of
material 81, 50 or A inches wide.

MOST
SUCCESSFUL
MEDICINE
Known All Over The World
known Only For The
Good 1t Has Done.

We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is made from roots and herbs,
and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why 1t is so successful is
because it contains ingredients which act
directly upon the female organism, re-
storing 1t to healthy and normal activity.
Women who are o@~~

IDEAL MARRIAGE GROWS FROM
EQUALITY AND COMRADESHIP
The Little Word obey in the Marriage Ceremon!
Implies Inferiority to One Who Utters 1t and
Should Be Done Away With

such a law still stands in ten States
Unfortunately. II was not dead-letter
In France In the days when the gifted
artist, Nine. Lebrun, painted those
exquisite portraits and her spendthrifi
artist-husband demanded her earnings
but now that the spirit is all out OF II
why should we preserve the letter Of a
law that is as unjust as il is ugly?
The Ideal Marriage.
II is just as unbeautifuI to the new
man as to the new woman, for the new
man recognizes that from equality and
comradeship the ideal marriage grows
easily and naturally.
And those three words, love, honor,
and share, cover a great deal that never
will grow and thrive under the restrain
ing. demoralizing effect of 'obey," and
all that 1t implies OF superiority and in
feriority.
And while there doubtless are many
who want the marriage ceremony pre-.
served in its old, revered form, there
are others who hope TO see all our in
stitutions breathe a spirit of equality
and growth, man developing to his best
possibilities, woman always keeping
pace. for there's the princess, you re-
member.
IF she be small, slight-natured, mis-

CLOGGED PORES MAKE
COMPLEXION UNSIGHTLY

The clogginE of pores is less often due

agement. The girl who habitually and
lavisly paints or powders will before
long find herself with the unsightly en-
larged pores that ruin the best COM
pexion.
II you must use cosmetics, use them
with Judgment. Never powder directly
after washing the face. especially IL hot
The skin is relaxed, the pores open, ana
the powder clogs.
After washing the face use an astrin-
gent lotion or dash the face with cold
water. This Is one of the best pore
closers known and tones up the skin.
After the cold spray there is far less
harm from powdering. though 1t should
not be put -On thickly and only a good
powder should be used.
Some powders have a greasy quality
that makes them especially prone 10

when one is overheated. The constant
use OF powder to prevent shine in sum-

larged pores in the fall
Never tamper with astringent lotions
without advice from a SKIN specialist
II your skin Is fine or sensitive II can
be quickly ruined by preparations that

is the practice of dashing the face with

MODERN GIRL Is
CHARMING MODEL
She Follows Simplicity Of Style
This Spring.

The modest and retiring violet among
damsels is the favorite pattern Of the
springtime. For some time past the fash
ions have been trending toward the gen.
tie f-mininIty OF the prunes and prisms
period Of the '40s OF the last century,
and each new mode that is used strength
ems the cult.
II is an absolutely engaging pose in its
new Interpretation. for II lacks the sim
pering and rather vacant dolly look
that Is apparent in the protraiture of
seventy years ago. The athletics and
manly phase through which women
have passed during the past twenty years
have taken that expression away, and
no one regrets its absence.
No detail OF her toilet alters a girls
appearance more completely than the
dressing OF her hair. 1t gives a new
character TO her face. At the present
time the center parting. which is the
prevalent choice. is Of a refining infiu-
ence. giving the features repose, adding
depth to the eyes, and intensifyinE the
thoughtful expression Of the counte-
nance.
The girls OF the present day admire
the plan Of covering the ears and per-
petuate the braids. but arrange them in
a loose and careless fashion. They also
permit a greater carelessness to pervade
the tresses at the back Of the head.
where they are arranged in loose puffs
and coils, than did their grandmothers.
In some instances a curl is allowed to
stray over the shoulder. and many girls
are re-establishing the attractive swath-
cry of hair FURNISHED brightly and passed
over the crown of the head.
Much more latitude is permitted to
them than was enjoyed by their great
grandmothers in the choice OF evening
coiffure decorations.

Heights
Developed and grew, to mems delight;
For the grove of stately oaks that stood
Were the pride of the folk OF the neigh

It seemed the oaks clasped hands with
God
To join his love to earth's humble sod.
All through the years as men passed by
They looked on the oaks, with heads
reared high;
And somehow, whether they said it or
not,
They felt they were drawn to this shady
spot.
And deep in their bosoms they formed
a prayer
That the ruthless Ak these trees should
spare
Men saw in the oaks a text and song.
Which sank in the heart as they moved
along.
And their thoughts went out TO the
Gracious God
Who planted the oaks in the grassy sod
And day after day, meath the kindly

That such a boon from heavens hand
Should thus no longer grace the land
In prime of strength the oaks went down
That for years untold decked Columbla's S
crown.
I dropped tear as the oaks fell low,
For my heart was wrung at each cruel
blow,
And 1 wondered how man could be so
base,
To fiaunt such malice in heavens face
So requite a God whose loving thought
For his chiIdren's good thus set at
naught-
And men will pile stone, iron. and wood
And mortar and brick where the oaks
once stood,
While child and maid, with weary feet,
Will look in vain long the brazen street
For rest and quiet in a gracious shade
Which the oaks with their kindly foliage
made.
