THAT OLD.FAsHIoNED LADY
Sweet Picture That Some Of Us Are

Memories. ..E

Everybody loved that old-fashioned
lady. And 1 find almost everyone past
forty has, at the back of~his mind,
vivid impressions regarding her and
the social life Of which she was the
center. One remembers the atmo-
sphere of that day as one remembers
the blush roses and spicy plnks of old
gardens. Even yet there are gardens
where blush roses grow, and ! know
some women not yet old, and few
serves today to reproduce that at.
mosphere. She was dauntless and
sweet, that old-fashioned Lady; witty
but tender; as notable a housewife
as hostess; full of gentle concern
for others; with mind ever at leis.
ure for their affairs, and heart
whose sympathy was instantaneous In
their service. She stimulated and she
soothed. Fine. complicated and inter

wrought gold she delighted to wear
she was very precious piece Of por
cetain. The brilliant, soft daguerreo
type that has preserved her early like
ness for us did not ideallze her be.

innate secret Of her influence was the
impression she gave OF one whose

THOUGHT He MEANT Triple
Mrs. Mills Sadly MisIed About Hus-
bands Diet by Deaf Old
Family Doctor. ~

Mr.. Mills was i'll, and Mrs. Mills
sent post haste for the deaf old family
doctor. who, responding promptly to
the call, looked Mr.. Mills carefully
over and decided he was not going to
die that time. AS the physician took
his leave, Mrs. Mills followed him out
into the hall "Dr. Crimes" she said,
show about Alberts diet? You didn't
tell me what l should give him to
eat!" -.(.-.-...
The doctor, who had his deaf side
toward his interrogation, mistook her
question for an inquiry as to the ma
ture Of Mr.. Mills disease and replied
gruffiy and shortly: "Oh, stomach,
Misunderstanding but stomach"
Dear mel" thought Mrs. Mills. who
is not a subtle reasoner. II suppose,
of course, he must mean tripe. It's
singular diet, but perhaps Albert's dis
ease is singular"
Next day when the doctor called he
found the patient much worse, and ut
once inquired what he had had to
eat.
II gave him just what you told me
to-" shouted Mrs. Mills into the doc
tors best ear. nothing in the world
but tripe." 3.

How 20 clan Tape try.

Shake the tapestry gently but well
to remove loose dirt and then immense
It in a cleansing fluid composed as
fellows. Take four ounces, OF soap to
a quart OF water and boil it until 1t
becomes a jelly; then divide this
equally in two tubs of hot water, ad-

best to sew the bran in cheese cloth

After washing the tapestry alter

PRAYERS for Suicides.

On All Souls Day every good Cath
Ole goes to some cemetery to lay
flowers on the graves of loved ones.
Owing to the number Of suicides by
drowning in the Danube there are
many dead to whom this rite cannot
be paid, and In honor of these
touching ceremony has been held In
Budapest. Several thousand persons
walked In solemn procession to the
bank OF the Danube by the Franz
Josef bridge, and a wreath made OF
leather was sunk in the water, while
the attendants uncovered their heads
and said prayers. On one side OF the
wreath the words were embossed
"For the salvation of those who died
in the Danube" and on the other side
do not take this out, but leave 1t
in the water" A layman then gave
an address, in which he extolled the
virtues of many of those who had
been driven to suicide. and con
demned the church for refusing Its
blessing to their bodies.

Honey Bread.

In Europe, where the food value Of
honey seems to be much better I'M
derstood than in the United States,
enormous quantities are used. or late
years we seem to be waking to a
realization Of the value Of honey as a
wholesome and delicious article Of
food. and also as to It's preservative
qualities. Cakes and sweetbreads
made with sugar corn become dry
and crumbly, and to get the good OF
them must be eaten when fresh; but
when they are made up with honey,
they seem to retain their moist fresh
ness, indefinitely. In France honey
bread a year or eighteen months old
is preferred to that just made. They
say: 1T has ripened." It is the
preservative, or rather the unchang-
ing, quality Of honey that makes It 20
popular with the best confectioners.-
