Good Form in Dress

Few women know how to put on
their clothes. This sounds like a very
startling statement, but let us stou
and think over the matter quietly.
How frequently we see women witz
dainty, well-made and even well-cut
clothes, and yet how few appreciate
the beauty Of the garment, and why?
Because the blouse is not pulled down
tightly at the waist line and fastened
in place either by hooks and loops or
safety pins. Then, too, the collar is
probably not carefully boned so that
it will fit the neck snugly Each
woman should study the shape OF her
own neck mot some one else's) and
find just where the bones must be
placed in order to make the collar fit
we'll.

IMPORTANT PINCH OF SALT
Seemingly There Are Few Dishes to
Which 1t VIII Not lmpart an Ex-
cGIlent Flavor.

Few housewives, especially the lit
tie Mrs. Newlyweds, fully appreciate
the value of the pinch of salt. or
course, everyone uses salt on meats,
and In soups, entrees, vegetables,
sauces, ETC., but although the cook
books do not always include it in re-
clpes for cakes, pies and desserts gen.
orally, there is almost nothing from
the most dainty gelatine and whipped
cream dessert to bread and butter pud-
ding that is not greatly improved by
1t. You probably would not dream OF
putting 1t in pot of tea, but if you
try it you will find that it brings out
the aroma of the tea, making it actual
ly fragrant by neutralizing the fat
ness of the water. This will be found
especially so in localities where the
water is hard or has a mineral taste.
1t should always be used in coffee and
cocoa. 1t imparts mellow taste to
coffee and makes the cocoa seem very
much richer.
The delicate flavoring of all custard
desserts is enhanced by the magic
pinch of salt. Put it in pies of all
kinds. Use plenty of salt in the pie
crust where only lard is used for
shortening. Meringues are improved
by it.
At preserving time remember the
pinch of salt, whether you are making
preserves, jelly or marmalade. 1t
simply puts the water where it be-
longs-in the background, and the
fruit flavor stands out preeminent.
These are few of the out of ordi-
nary, yet everyday, uses of a pinch of
salt.-Armour's Cook Book.

last, spent and breathless, the judge
dropped down on the edge of his bed
to consider the situation. He was
without clothes and he was pris-
oner, yet his mind rose splendidly to
meet the difficulties that beset him.
His greatest activities were reserved
for what appeared to be only a sea-
son of despair. He armed himself with
a three-legged stool he had found and
turned once more to the door, but the
stout planks stood firm under his
blows.

The window next engaged his at

the precaution to fasten, but single
savage blow of the stool shattered
glass and sash and left an empty space
that framed the dawn's red glow. The
judge looked out and shook his head
obviously. 1t was twelve feet or more

tleman of his years and build. The
judge considered making rope of his
bedding and lowering himself to the
ground by means OF it; he remem-
bered to have read of captives in that
interesting French prison, the Bas-
tile, who did this. However, an equal
ly ingenious but much more simple
use for his bedding occurred to him;
it would form a soft and yielding sub
stance on which to alight. He gath

and all, and pushed it through the

FOR PLUM OR GRAPE JELLY
These Directions Are Faith
fully Carried Out.

Put ripe plums in colander and
pour boiling water over them; then
put the fruit in a preserving kettle
with barely enough water to cover,
and boil until the plums are softened
and the juice is plentiful. Strain on
the juice and put it on to boil. Meas
ure out pound of sugar to every
pint of the juice, and place it In shall
low pans in the oven to heat until the
juice has boiled for twenty minutes.
Add the sugar then, stirring it in I'M
til dissolved and removing all scum
as it rises, and pour into glasses boiled
in hot water to prevent their breaking
when the scalding fluid Is poured in.
A delicious jelly from wild grapes may
be made in the same, way, but, re-
member, If the jelly bag is squeezed
the result will be jam and not clear
jelly. When the natural dripping
seems about over, squeeze out all the
pulp that will come through the mesh
Of the bag and use it for jam.

Gown Of Moonlight Blue Satin Some
thing Of Novelty in Sar-
torial Affairs.

A beautiful gown for a recent occa-
sion was made in a shade of moon
light blue satin of the softest con-
sistency, known as peau de suede.
The gown opened over a petticoat Of
the mousseline de sole, while one
side of the corsage was likewise of
the f1lmy fabric relieved with trim
mings of dull gold.
Another gown for the same occa-
sion was in a supple and beautiful
gold tissue shot with fiageolet green.
The front CT the gown was draped
with spoon-shaped panel of flower
patterned Brussels lace, yelled, with
a shadowy drapery of fiageolet green
tulle illusion, while the tissue was
left uncovered at the back The cor

CHAPTER xxx.-(continued.)

An hour later Pegloe's black boy
presented himself to the Judge. He
came bearing a gift, and the gift ap-
propriately enough was a square case
bottle of respectable size. The judge
was greatly touched by this attention,
but he began by making a most tenn
perate use of the tavern-keeper's Of
fering; then as the formidable docu-
ment he was preparing took shape un-
der his hand he more and more lost
that feeling of Spartan fortitude
which had at first sustained him in
the presence of temptation. He wrote
and slipped in complete and quiet lux
ury. and when at last he had exhaust
ed the contents of the bottle it oc
Cured to him that it would be only
proper personally to convey his thanks
to Pegloe Perhaps he was not un-
inspired in this by ulterior hopes; if
SO, they were richly rewarded. The
resources of the City Tavern were
suddenly placed at his disposal. He
all good and sufficient, but the real
reason never suggested itself; indeed
it was of such pertidious nature that
the judge, open and generous minded,
could not have grasped it.
By six o'clock he was undeniably
drunk; at eight he was sounding still
deeper depths OF inebriety, with only
the most confused memory of impend-
ing events; at ten he collapsed and
was borne upstairs by Pegloe and his
black boy to a remote chamber in the
kitchen wing. Here he was undressed
and put to bed, and the tavern-keep-
er, making a bundle of his clothes, re-
tired from the room, locking the door
after him, and the Judge was doubly
prisoner.
Rousing at last from heavy,
dreamless sleep the Judge was aware
of faint impalpable light in his room,
the ashen light of dull October dawn.
He was aware. too. OF a feeling of
profound depression. He knew this
was the aftermath of indulgence and

Little Lecture on Marriage and Di-

Some folks wonder at the miracles

being a mother. You might marry an
other man some time, but there's
something you'd never forget, and that
is that Perk is the father Of Lucille

Dill Pickles.

Wash the cucumbers and lay in
water over night. In the morning
pack tightly in jars and fill the holes

as follows: Three quarts of water,

is easily judged by the person, as no
two people have the same taste.

Some twenty minutes later Boggs
came in sight. He experienced a mo-
ment of doubt--doubtless FentreSs
had been there and gone! 1t was
hideous thought and the Judge
groaned. Then at the other end of the
meadow near the woods he distin-
guished several men, Fentress and his
friends beyond question. The judge
laughed aloud. In spite OF everything
he was keeping his engagement, he
was pluclling his triumph out Of the
very dregs Of failure. The judge
threw himself over the fence, cor
ner of the quilt caught on one of the
rails; he turned to release it, and in
that instant two pistol shots rang out
sharply in the morning air.

Cruelty TO Animals,

beings. but when it comes to animals

each other. I painted up a lump of
pig iron to look like cork said the
first artist, and, by Joye, when l

was no harm in that But listen to

quarters of it before he discovered

ner of poising the wings in nearly
every case suggests bird or butterfly
just ready for flight, matter of per.
sonal arrangement.
Wings have come to stay for some
time. AS they are made now, they are
for more durable than in past seasons.
The feathers are sewed to founda4
ton, and considering the time and ex!
perience necessary to make them, 1t
is a wonder they can be sold so
cheaply.
Next to- the wing for street hats,
standing brushes promise to make the
best impression. These are manufac.
tured, also, with ornamental stem
mountings of feathers. They may be
sewed to the hat without the use OF
an ornament of any kind. Neverthe
less small fiat bows and other bows
are often used with them. AS the
season advances other ornaments may
increase in favor, for they are new
and already well launched upon re.
