work of composition, when he be-

so we'll known IN this country. His
greatest achievement to date is the
score OF THE Pink Lady" for which
he is entirely responsible, and 1t is
significant that he returned to Ameri-
ca TO receive his greatest recognition
after lapse of many years devoted
TO producing works for the London
stage.
Mr.. Caryll combines the charm OF
good music and catchy melody in his
work. and there is that haunting
something about the themes which
arrests the public fancy. Though

first year OF its birth the best-known

MARKET WITH CASH
And SAVE MONEY
Other Wise Hints on the Subject Of
Economy.

Ascertain the amount Of money you
can spend on marketing and do not ex-
ceed the limit. It will be found an
economy to market with ready money.
You are more apt to keep within the
limit in dollars and cents, an tdhe trades
people often make special concessions to
q cash purchaser. Another good plan is
to pay bills weekly. This is also an aid
to economy.
As each purchase is delivered slip the
purchase ticket on a hook or nail in the
kitchen kept especially for that purpose.
Thus they are ready for reference at any
time.
Never buy inferior goods.
Inquire the price of goods before pur-
chasing and take pains to Judge OF the
quality Of foodstutfs. Your butcher and
you show you can select the best Of the
stock.
Remember mutton and beef should be
fine grained and firm. the color bright
and uniform, the fat a pale cream and
firm.
Fresh FISH should be stiI and rigid. the
gills red. the eyes bright, the skin
smooth and not bIistered, but closely sd-
herring to the fish. Salmon, cod and
whitefsh should have a bronze tint when
freshly cut.
Poultry must be young and in good
condition. Fowls should have soft feet
and necks, the spur hardly formed. the
breast bone must not be broken and II
should be soft and resemble gristle.
II the storage space is limited foods
should not be purchased in large quanti-
ties, for 1t is better economy to use all
that is bought while 1t is in coed condi-
tion than to save few cents proportion
ally on a large purchase and afterward
throw away a part because 1t becomes
Uneatable before II can be put on the
table.

STUNNING HATPINS
MADE AT HOME
Heads Are Fashioned Of Tinted
Sealing Wax.

The idea Of fabricating hatpin heads
of a fine quality Of sealing-wax, into
which little loose gem stones or other
ornaments could be set while the wax
was still hot, occurred to a clever woman
as she was turning out store Of odds
and ends Of jewelry that had come TO
grief. In the same drawer, too, were
several shabby old hstpins more or less
rusty, with heads damaged in one way
or another. She ran the pin part of each
of these through good, stout emery paper
until the rust was a thing of the past,
then brought out her alcohol lamp and
the short ends of tinted sealing-wax
that had accumulated in her writing
desk. With a cup Of cold water the out
fit was complete.
Then she proceeded to cover the heads
OF the pins with ordinary melted sealing
wax from the kitchen, where 1t had been
kept for sealing bottles. She let the coat
cool slightly, and with deft touches
shaped It as she wanted for a founda-
tion. Next she tok up an inch length
Of dull blue letter wax in pair of
pincers and melted II carefully over the
spirit flame.
The hatpin, the head Of which had been
dipped in cold water for a few moments
TO harden the foundation, then dried. had
now a layer of the blue wax daubed en-
tirely over the coarser kind. making a
thick setting. in which a moment later
she deftly imbedded a turquoise matrix
that had been broken by a fall, but
which Joined so perfectly in the wax
that no crack was noticeable. The wax
was kept softened over the flame until
shaped carefully TO the form desired. In
a head of lavender wax she set a dull
gold ball to match her toque, which was
trimmed with gray-purple violets. In a
third she pressed a quaint little cameo,
which showed well in an amber, gold
hecked setting. Lastly, she used up all
the tiny ends by melting one after an
other and applying it to a dull red foun-
dation in dabs, here and there, until 1t
was a parti-colored mass, which she then
held over the flame and twirled skill
fully until the gay hues blended in
sort Of iridescence, with touches Of gold
cleaning out in places. This was shaped
finally into a sort OF spear head and,
the desired effect gained, it was allowed
to lie in cold water for some five min
utes. When taken out, It came very
near to being the handsomest Of all the
new hatpins.

WITHOUT FLOWERS
Chemicals Used Instead of Roses
and Violets.

There are few perfumes to-day that
cannot be made from chemicals. syn
thetically, as the chemists call IL. For
merIy all perfumes were extracted from
flowers, fruits, spices, woods or other
vegetable and animal substances. The
first perfume TO be initiated was vanilla,
in 1876. Heliotropine followed, being OBJ
tanned by oxidation of a by-product of
camphor.
Terpinol is one OF the most freely used
constituents of perfumes. This is a
near relation of turpentine. With this.
a little oil and aqua fortis a chemist
can produce a perfume that can scarcely
be distinguished from those exhaled by
the lily of the valley, lilac and Cape
Jessamine, varying according to the pro-
portions in which the chemicals are
blended.
Artificial violet is a combination OF
citrol ian essence extracted from lemon),
Indian verain. or lemon verbena, with
common acetone. a substance very like
pyroigneous acid.
No chemist has been able to counter
felt musk, but a synthetic perfume called
musk is made from toluene, a by-product
Of benzine and coal tar. This Is changed
to a complex carburet, treated with
azotic and sulphuric acids, diluted and
sold as musk.
