busily engaged Finally she caught
a glimpse of a little fellow standing
alone, evidently taking an inventory
of the girls present.

voice, please come here"
George sauntered over to Miss
Lawrence.
George, this is Marion" said Miss
Lawrence, by way of introduction.
Nov, I'm sure you two will enjoy

His tone was 80 determined that

Marion was not the least bit dis

Marion, who had full faith in her
teacher, smiled, smoothed her skirt.

white gloved hands complacently In
her lap.
After the two-step had started Miss
Lawrence, remembering the little girl,
went over to her.

All the boys who weren't dancing

thought she would put it In the light

BALL PARK ROUTS POE RELIC
Old New York Tavern Being Destroy.
ed for New American League
Grounds.

New York-Kingsbridge Tavern,
landmark of 100 years standing and
a resort where Edgar Allan Poe used
to wait for his manuscripts to come
back from unappreciative editors, is
about to give way to the march of
progress. 1t is on the site Of what
will be the new American league base
ball park next summer, at 226th street
and broadway. A gang of laborers
have taken possession Of the old tav.

serve the old tavern for Its historical
interest failed.

KITCHEN AS A LIVING ROOM
A Little Thought Given to Decoration
and Appointments Will Make 1t
Attractive.

1t is possible to have the kitchen as
attractive in it's own way as the living
room, especially when the woman does
the greater part of her work and takes
pride and pleasure in having the rep..-
tation of being a good housewife.
The display of qaint Delft ware
kitchen boxes on view in one hard
ware department is enough to tempt
the housewife to refit dingy kitch-
en-. These boxes, which are made to
hold sugar. salt and spice, are labeled
and have quaint Dutch scenes in blue
and white on them. Half dozen Of
these boxes on the kitchen shelf, with
a background of clean paint or thing.
present an attractive appearance, as
we'll as very convenient way of hav-
ing these articles close at hand The
newest bread boxes have rounded
glass windows in the lid, so that the
contents may be inspected without
raising the lid and admitting the air.
What would our great-grandmothers
say to the array OF mechanical con-
trivances which make the up-to-date
kitchen resemble laboratory? There
Is about as little resemblance between
the present methods of, cookery aud
the utensils used, and the ways Of
yore as there is between our modern
gas stove and open fire and hanging
crane.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Tomato Jelly.

One-third cup of sherry, two cups of
stewed strained tomatoes, two level
tablespoonfuls of jelly powder or gela-
tin, salt and paprika.
Either canned or fresh tomatoes
may be used. These must be cooked
with little parsley, onion and bay
leaf, if liked, and then strained so as
to eliminate the skin and seeds. Fol-
low directions for preparing the jelly
powder or gelatin. When soft, add to
the hot cooked tomatoes, seasoning at
the same time with salt and paprika.
Let the mixture stand until nearly
cold; then add the sherry and turn
into wet after dinner coffee cups or
very small molds to set. At the time
of serving, unmold, place on lettuce
leaves and put a generous spoonful OF
mayonnaise over each.-Pictorial Re-

That Next Morning.

A friend of mine, he goes downtown
and sits up with the fellows. He
lightly lays his lucre down for reds,
whites, blues and yellows. He orders
up a lot of things and takes a nifty
nibble and on the check the waiter
brings his name proceeds to scribble.
He smokes a twenty-cent cigar and
when the minstrels gather, in joyous
song before the bar, is he in line!
Well, rather! When menials in his
service range, to save him time and
trouble, he looks, while saying, Keep
the change" like Monte Cristo's
double. But, oh, next day you ought
to hear the words of fact and fable
with which he chases all the cheer far
from the breakfast table! 1t fills the
fiat with gloom and strife and sor-
row and misgiving-the line Of talk
he gives his wife about the cost OF
living!-Exchange

AntinuItv of Football,

At Derby a game of football was
played as early as the third century,
in commemoration of victory over
the Roman legion at Chester. The
first football used in the annual game,
still played each Easter, is said to
have been the head of Danish in
vader In the isle of Purbeck, too,
says the London Chronicle, the free
quarrymen from time immemorial
have perpetrated their claim to a
grant of land by kicking football
across it. In the fourteenth century
the game was SO popular as to call
forth an edict forbidding it, on the
ground that it interfered with the
practice of more martial exercise. In
later times Shakespeare referred con-
temptuously to the game, but perhaps
few would be able to turn up readily
the passage in King Lear" describing
a base football player"

DRY CLEANSING BEST
MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD OF
PREPARING CURRANTS.
Use of Squash strainer and Flour VIII
Do Away With Much of the Tedi-
GUS Work Heretofore
Made Necessary.

This tiresome work has been greatly
lessened by the Introduction of cur
rants already cleansed and put up in
convenient packages, but many house
keepers, either from choice or neces-
sity, use the currants which come in
bulk, and have not yet learned the
easiest way of thoroughly cleansing.
Instead of putting them directly into
water, a sort of dry cleansing is a
great help in removing the grit and
other foreign substances. Put the cur
rants in a squash strainer and sprinkle
them thickly with flour. Rub them
well between the palms of the hands
until the punches are separated, and
the fine stems rubbed off, then rub
them on the strainer till the flour, grit
and stems have passed through the
meshes Then place the strainer with
the currants in large pan of luke
warm water and wash thoroughly.
Lift the strainer and currants to-
gether and change the water until
nothing more is washed from the fruit
and the water is clear. This is much
easier than to leave the curTaHls III
rectly in the pan and simply pour OF
the water, for they are mixed with the
sediment.
: When the fruit is clean and well
drained turn it out between two tow
els and spread it apart, drawing the
perfect fruit to one end and carefully
removing any stones or poor fruit
which did not pass through the strain
er. Let them dry thoroughly in
sunny or warm place, but do not hard
en- them by putting them in the oven
When we'll dried put them in glass
jars carefully covered and keep in
cool, dry place. Enough may be done

Sinuinu Wires.

Most of US have wondered at the
curious singing" of the te1egraphs
and telephone wires often heard along
quiet country roads. Professor Field
of the University of Ottawa suggests
that the noises are due to vibrations
transmitted to the wires by the posts,
which receive them from the earth,
and that they are the results of earth
vibrations identical with those that
the seismograph, or earthquake detec-
tor, records. 1.-THE song of the wires"
Professor Fields adds, lis the song of
the barometer; if it is low, change
in the weather may come in two days;
if sharp, it may be immediate. -

FULLY NoURlSHED
Grape-Nuts a Perfectly Balanced Food.

No chemists analysis of Grape-Nuts
can begin to show the real value OF
the food-the practical value as shown

It is a food that Is perfectly bal

for both brain and body in all stages
of life from the infant, through the
strenuous times of active middle life,
and is a comfort and support in old
age.
For two years l have used Grape
Nuts with milk and a little cream, for
breakfast. l am comfortably hungry

FOODS DESIGNED FOR SEASON
Apple and Grape Have Been Especial
ly Set Apart by Nature to Serve
at This Time.

The wise housekeeper is devoting
some attention to the apple and the
grape at this season, for they are the
most beneficial of all the fruits.
And we need them more now than
at any time during the year. Our
systems require the proteins, sugars
and fats, etc., that they contain in
order that we may build up for the
long winter which is before us.
The wise housekeeper knows these
things. She studies food scientifically
and understands just what it is expe-
dent to give her family at each sea-
son, just what food will be most nour-
ishing and notwithstanding for them.
A famous doctor in Germany has
said that apples should be placed on
the table three times day and every
day in the year.

and more popular, for women of all
nationalities have discovered that it is
almost universally becoming and not
at all unduly extravaganza. The pref
tiest and daintiest effects may be OBJ
tanned from little afternoon gowns Of
crepe de chine or supple satin, and
the nantes may be made of liberty

Season of Decoration.
1t is a wonderfully decorative sea-
son, and all women who like to look
dainty and attractive ought to avail
themselves of an excellent opportunity
of looking attractive at moderate cost.
Partisan girls wear caps of this kind
with infinite grace. They place them
well down on the forehead, but few
stray curls are allowed to peep out
under the soft velvet frills. For walk
ing or skating on cold winter days
these caps are ideal wear. They are
as warm and comfortable as they are
becoming.

Almost any bones can be used for

basis of good soup Rib bones of beef
can be grilled or roasted, and spare
ribs of pork is favorite dish when
well Drowned and served with cab
bage and onions and apple sauce. The
