attractive one. ] t is made with
straight skirt and loose little blouse
with novel bretelles. II is altogether
simple and childlike in effect, yet
smart in the extreme. Girls who are
planning for graduation will find II
pretty for that occasion and, for such
use, 1t would be pretty made of the
wolfe, of marquisette and of the cot
ton crepe that will be SO extensively
worn. There are some simple silks
that are pretty for the younger girls,
too, and a dainty little crepe de chine
in a dresden pattern would make a
dainty frock. Challis, too, Is charm
ing made in this way, and everyone
knows the value of challis to be re-
lied upon for cool or damp days
For the 12-year-old the dress will
require 5A yards of material u, 81

For an April Wedding

Dear Margcry Doom:
] am to be married in April and
would like to know IL il would be all
right for my brother to give me away,
as my father is unable to. or would &c
be more suitable for my uncle to give
me away? Is it necessary for bride
groom to wear a froek coat at an
afternoon wedding, or would a Tux
edo be all right? May / have more
than one bridesmaid? Can you give
me any other information?
JULIA o.
1t would be correct for your brother
to give you. away. The tuxedo suit
would be very, very much out Of
place either at an afternoon or al,
evening wedding, as it is merely
semi formal. A frock coat would bs
correct. With it should be worn
gray-striped trousers, white waist
coat, white or pearl color tie and
gloves, standing collar and patent
leather button shoes with kid tops,
The bride may have as many brides
maids as she likes. but if the wedding
is to be a quiet home affair one at
tendant will be sufficient. / could
give you more information, but do
not know just what you want. Will
you let me hear from you, If you are
still in doubt about anything2

CURIOUS RANGE OF FEES
OF DOCTOR IN OLDEN DAYS

At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the usual fees to physicians
and surgeons in England were ITO a
graduate in physiek, his due is about
10 shillings, though he commonly ex-
poets or demands 20. Those that are
only licensed physicians. their due
is no more than 6 shilling and 8
pence. though they commonly demand
10 shilllngs.
"A surgeons fee is IL pence. mile,

U set a bone broken or out of joint,
and for letting blood ! shilling; the

MAKING A QUAKER FIGHT
HIS COUNTRY'S BATTLES
Friend in Union Army Had
Interesting Experiences.

The extraordinary experience of
Cyrus Pr1ngle, young Quaker who
was drafted into the army in 1858,
but refused to serve because of his
religious principles, is narrated in the
Atlantic Monthly. Despite his pro-
tests he was forced into camp with
the rest of the draft. Here, in his
own words, is an account of one of
the efforts to force him TO perform
service.
my trial soon came. The Iieuten-
ant called me out and, pointing to the
gun that lay near by, asked i'll was
going to clean it. I replied to him
that l could not comply with military
acquisitions and felt resignedato the
consequences. I do not ask about
your feelings; I want TO know If you
are going to clean that gum Il can
not do It, was my answer. He went
away, saying, very we'll, and
craw1ed into the tent again. Two
sergeants soon called for me and,
down on my back and, stretching my
limbs apart, tied cords to my wrists
and ankles and these to four stakes
driven in the ground, somewhat in
the form of an X.
II was very quiet in my mind as |
lay there on the ground, soaked with
the rain OF the previous day, exposed

Fruit Sponge Drops

Bake small sponge cakes, baking
them in gem irons. When cold, cut
off the top carefully remove the
centre, and fill with a teaspoonful of
canned peaches or any desired fruit
that you have at hand. Put table,
spoonful of whipped cream on top
and serve. If one has large amount
of fruit juice left from a jar of fruit,
the sponge cakes may be served un-
broken, with the juice added to the
whipped cream for flavor. If cherry
juice Is added, few drops of almond
win be good for flavor.

sire of every italian churchman dur
ing that period. Dante and Petrarch
had used their influence for that end
without avail. Catherine went to
Avignon in midsummer and in Sep
TENDER the Pope went to Italy for a
visit. He died there and the next
Pope took up his residence in Rome
This remarkable woman also me-
dated a peace between the rebellious
Florentines and Pope Urban VI. In
1898. While, our ideas of religious de-
votion differ from those practised in
that far-off century, 1t is undoubted-
ly true that the sincerity of Cath

complish results which astonished her
contemporaries as well as those of

In ADDITION TO tnlS, 1t is said that
she only slept a quarter of an hour
in the course of twenty-four hours;
that she flogged herself three times
a day, and that she wore an iron
chain around her waist whose weight
was so great that it gradually be-
came imbedded in the flesh. She lived
three years without speaking to any
human being, and she claimed that
when she retired to her cell Christ
Himself appeared TO her and taught
her. Catherine was born in 1S47, and
at the age of IS she assumed the
habit of the Third Order of st. Dom
inic. The two great rival monastic
orders at that time were the Fran
ciscan and the Dominican and they
tried to Guido each other in austeri-
ties, penances and miracles. A half
century previous st. Francis, the
head of the Franciscans, had re-
ceived the "Stigmata" or the super
natural impression of the five wound
prints received by Christ in the cru
cifixion. This was their boast and
their triumph and when Catherine
claimed to have received the same
miracle it caused great Indignation
in the Franciscan order, for they in
sisted that that particular miracle
belonged to ST Francis, and could not
happen to anyone else. But aside
from these tales, which tax the Gre
dulity of the twentieth century mind,
IL is remarkable and true that this
ardent religious devotee succeeded in
bringing back to Rome the Papal
Court, which had been held at AVig-
non, in France, for seventy-three
wears. which had been the earnest de-

THE SPRING CoRSETS

IL has taken some time to dis
cover the faults of the modern cor
sets and eliminate them as far as
can be done, and this progress has
aimed for comfort in every sense
There have been many complaints
against the very long corset skirts
and CORRESPONDENCE long boning
which resulted in much discomfort
TO the wearer. The new models are
somewhat shorter at the back. or at
least the bones there have been
shortened, which is an improvement
noted.
Then again lighter fabrics are be-
ing employed, which also insures
comfort. The new eorsets are long
WASTED and low busted, which insure
comfort i'm every degree.

1t has been truly said that ANY
one can cook meats" This is usually
true with the regularly engaged
cook. She will be able to cook meats
very well Gf she can cook at am,
and not be able TO cook vegetables.
The facts are these: If it is roasting
she soon learns that she must have
a very hot oven and fifteen minutes
to the pound. or broiling to slide the
steak or chops under the broiler, turn
often and cook a certain time, ac-
cording to the thickness of the meat
But even with this knowledge, a
variety is necessary, If for no other
reason, one of expense. The most eX-
pensiye cuts of meats are for roasts
and steaks. The majority of families
cannot afford that for steady living.
Neither do hotels and restaurants,
that is why we have various changes
in meats. such as stews, easseroles,
croquettos, etc, on their menus.
