A Blouse Revival.

The cross-over blouse, which was popu
lar some fifteen years ago, has been re-
vived. This blouse is usually made of
lace net and it's principal charm is tina
it Is devoid of single button or hook.
The blouse has two long fichu ends,
which the wearer crosses over her wais
and fastens either in front or at the back
She is thus enabled to make the N-shaped
opening at the neck high or low to suit
her own taste.
Few blouSes in net or ninon fasten
the back, and even those with high collars
button down the front. Full-length O
three-quarter-length sleeves are the rule.

Mixing Fruits.

When inclined to be dry or tasteless,
apples are greatly improved by the adj
dition Of other fruits. Grated pineapples
and ounces are both good for this pur
pose, but dried fruits, such as dates
figs and prunes. can also be used with
excellent results. The dates should be
stoned and cut into quarters before be-
ing cooked with the apples, and the fig.
should be shredded. Prunes must be well
washed and allowed to soak in a little
cold water before cooking. and as apple.
require less cooking than prunes, they
should not be added before the latter
are nearly tender. Very little sweet
ening, if any. is required when figs, dates
and prunes are used with apples.

is representing the governor:
Forty thousand persons must be fed,

sons who lost their all when their
household goods were swept away.
They must be provided with few ne
cessary household articles, such as
bedding. pots and pans, stoves and a
few dollars. A half-million dollars
could be used in this way by the relief
committee.
Fifteen thousand houses and other
structures, or what remains of them,
must be pulled down.
Thousands of tons of debris must
be removed.

plishments since the flood broke over

ed that 80 per cent. hatch can be

be few years, it is said, before mus.

northern Wisconsin lakes as pickerel

the fish be protected in several ways,
chief of which is the passage of the
