DIVINITY MAKES COOL
BED SPREAD FOR SUMNER

The sleeping apartments during the
summer should be made to appear dainty
and cool
This is an easy matter and little ex-
pense Is attached to It. After all the
draperies used during the winter have
been stored away and the unnecessary
articles Of furniture dispensed with,
clothe your room in its summer garb.
Purchase plain, barred or figured dim
ity, any color your taste may dictate
From this fashion cover for your bed,
bureau. dressing table and the window
draperies.
Measure the length Of the bed and al
low three or four widths OF material, ac-
cording TO the size OF the bed. This may
be finished by ruffied fiounce, pleating
or by deep hem. Fourteen inches from
the hem, or bordering. the ruffie, stitch
bands OF figured dimlty.
scut these bands from a wide-strIped
design, which may be had in a great
humber OF varieties.
These spreads are easily 1aundered and
may be kept fresh and clean through
the hot, dusty summer.

DeIiciou. New Fudge.

Delicious New Fudge.
Dark Part-Take three cups Of brown
sugar, light brown preferred. Y cup Of
milk. teaspoonfuls of cocoa and u cup
OF walnuts. No butter or fiavorlng used.
Boil until 1t win hair when dropped
from the spoon The fudge should be
stirred while cooking. Remove from FIRE
and beat well until # begins to cling
and harden in the dish. Pour 1t into. q
buttered tin. II by chance the fudge IL
too soft. reheat it and boil # over and
beat as before.
Light Part-Take three cups Of brown
sugar. Y cup of milk and y cup Of
raisins- By this time the dark fudge will
have hardened. Spread over II. thick as
desired, peanut butter. 1t may not look
smooth, but 1t viii not matter. Now
boil the light fudge as above and when
ready pour this over the peanut butter.
Thus you have a layer of dark and OF
light fudge with the peanut butter be-
tween Ike a sandwich. It Is delicious.
The nuts and raisins may be left out
IL desired.
Other ways may be used in making
fudge which are a change from the old
way. Instead of using milk with the
brown sugar, use grape Juice and a half
cup OF raisins. To four cups Of brown
sugar use one cup Of grape juice, one
half cup Of raisins. Boil as before. This
is good. Or use one cup Of coffee or any
juice from preserves. In making the
plain fudge few drops Of pineapple ex-
tract is good Also teaspoonful Of Gin
namon. Or two tablespoonfuls Of pea
nut butter. And candied orange peel or
cherries are well liked. BY making a
layer of dark, then light, and finishing
with dark, one has fudge which is
pleasing TO te eye, as well as to the
taste.

one.sided Trimming.

The one-sided effect is not exactly new
in bodices, but it seems to be in greater
evidence this season than 1t was last
year.
\ The newest is the evening gown with
one sleeve and one side OF the bodice in
lace or embroidered net the other formed
Of long breadth of silk carried up over
the shoulder from the back. crossing the
front. and thus forming both bodice and
sleeve, then draped so as to form a train
over the lace skirt
This silk drapery can be fashioned at
the waist with handsome ornament or
with a bunch OF flowers. 1t would be
very suitable for dancing. as the train
could be lifted over the arm, leaving
only the short skirt beneath.

The VIZ Overcome.

Her Letter to the Deaf" with its
exquisite blend of remonstranee and
sympathy born of complete understand
ing has been a real solace to many
similarly am icted because Of its i'm
pulse to self-mastery. It shows all the
deprivations, as none but a FELLOWSHIP
ferer could show them, but It indicates
the way to overcome.
How well she overcame one under
stands when It was possible for her
TO say of the deafness that at one
time promised to sap much Of the sweet
ness from her life.
yet here am 1 now, on the borders
OF the grave, at the end Of a busy life,
confident that this same deafness is
about the best thing that ever happened
to me-" And she meant this partly from
a selfish viewpoint in that 1t had given
her victory over self, had taught her
some valuable truths and habits, and
had given her peculiar opportunity TO
help others who suffered the same mis-
fortune without possessing the same
stimulus to offset the hardship.
And the two sides present theft re-
spective missions:
The one to urge you and me to deeper
sympathy for those who are cut on
and to greater effort to make them feel
within the circle, in spite of their in
firnity. From our standpoint. the serv-
fee is slight; it is simply a matter of
taking pains
The other side is the one that, after
all, counts the most, because IL is the
one which marks the difference be-
tween the lovzble and the unloved. In
spite of her in infirmlty. Miss Mar
ttneau had a peculiar power of charm
mg friends and strangers, but II she had
forgotten her early vow, perhaps those
who remember her to-day might think
only Of the quality Of her mind and not
Of the exceeding graciousness that made
her deafness pale into insignihcance.
And you know that Letter to the
Dear Is applicable to a host Of other
deprivations."
The Washington herald., 1912-04-26

And then turned to the experience
of Harriet Martineau.
You remember, deafness came to her
early in life, and in the first cruel shock.
which kept her in the grip Of dread and
protest, she became ill-tempered, sensi-
tive and shrinking. Then-but the les
son came slowly-she made a VOW OF
patience concerning her infirmity and
determined that though II might make
her way of life hard, she would still re-
member that 1t brought q special duty
to spare others as much as possible and
10 do everything within her power to
overcome the morbid and selfish feelings
peculiar to many afflicted with this par
ticular deprivation
In recounting her experience she tells
OF the false sensitiveness which restrains
dear folk from the use OF every possible
aid to hearing and says that the special
duty Of the deaf is to spare others all
possible fatigue. As for herself. II was
ten years before she recognized that an
''ear trumpet was a thing 10 consider
not alone in the light or a personal BEN
efit, but a real duty she owed to others.
She refers to the hrst awakening that
came to her through her brother. He
had dined in company with a woman
who had made herself irksome by her
insistence upon being told every scrap OF
conversation, while not in any way at
tempting to make Il easier TO render
that service; and as he repeated the in
cident he expressed the hope that Miss
Martineau might never impose a similar
burden upon others. And II was then
that she made her vow OF patience.
