In Pastel Shades.

1t has become quite a fad to have
the combinations, corset covers, pet
ticoats, gowns, ETC., in colored batiste
they are to be worn, or else to llarmo-
nize with the decorations of the bou-
doir, particularly in the case of gowns
and petticoats. The trimmings are
usually lace of the shadow or val vari-
ETY.. Cluny, baby Irish and venise are
used on gowns and petticoats. This
fad will probably continue until hot
weather arrives, at which time there
is nothing better than white.

KEEPING DOWN KITCHEN Ex-
PENSES

If you Will notice, the meat bills OF
the cook who buys steaks or quickly
cooked meats, are much higher than
those OF the woman who spends more
time planning her meals and buying
cheaper cuts of meat, and her family
at the same time are better fed.
When we buy cold boiled ham at
thirty-five or forty cents pound, in
stead of preparing it ourselves at
twenty-five cents, or buying ten cents
worth of soup cubes when a ten-cent
soup bone hould have made much
fuller meal, as to food value, and with
little expense as to heat, if a tireless
cooker is used; when We insist upon
steaks at twenty -five and twenty-eight
cents, when twelve and fifteen cents
will buy meat which, if well cooked,
will furnish a good meal,
A small piece of meat added to veg
etables will give flavor to them and
make a palatable meal. 1t takes
thought and planning to keep down
the expenses and still not noticeably
stint the family. For most women
WIZ hdNC NhC Al6nS ICCAlh6 WV Ga
housekeeping there is keen enjoy
ment in the battling against such
odds. 1t is game that takes as much
greater skill than that shown at the
bridge table, and one which we hope
to see the younger generation enter
with fair knowledge of the game.
Leaf lard, if bought when the price
is down to eleven cents, and the lard
tried out at home, will lessen the cost
of lard from two to four cents on the
pound.
There are certain seasons in the
year, usually early in the year, when
sugar may be bought in UNDERGROUND
bags at saving of one or two cents
: to the pound, when buying by the doi-
lars worth, as most people do. Sugar
is a staple that cannot spoil if kept
in clean, dry place. and it is econ
omy to buy 1t in large lots.
Canned vegetables for winter may
be bought at quite a reduction if a
dozen cans are ordered, and much of
the staple food can be bought thus,
and save the middle mans profit

Meat BEARING Tree.

In Mexico grows tree called the
Avocado whose pear-shaped fruit is
reputed to be composed OF the cub
stances which are to be found In meat.
1t contains about 20 per cent. OF
ia and many other ingredients OF
great food value, and one good-sized
meat pear is quite sufficient to make
a meal for the average man.
The reason why the fruit is so little
known at present is because it Is

willow switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches.
The department of agriculture, has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va.
and some parts of 1t were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops.
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places, and there has been
so smart a growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid OF the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise Of willow cuttings TO
make baskets or bottom chairs, but
no smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind of talk. He may be safe
only In the assurance of the govern
ment that only one hundred of the
cuttings will be given to one person.

RICE DISHES.

Rice is cheap and wholesome food,
and in combination with other foods
makes most nutritious dish. Cream
is the ideal combination with rice, as
it supplies the fat to balance the
starch, and with the addition of sugar
we have a well balanced meal.

third of box of gelatine a half hour
in "a half cup of water. Put pint and
a half of milk in double boiler; when
boiling, stir in half cup of rice, a
half teaspoonful of salt, and cook I'M
til the rice is perfectly tender. Then
add half a cup of sugar Remove from
the stove, and when cool add a tea
spoonful of vanilla and the gelatine:
.hen cold add a pint of whipped
cream, and put into a mold to harden.
Serve very cold.
Rice Flour Cream.-Soak half box

starch is we'll cooked, remove from the
heat, add the gelatine and fold in the
whites of two eggs beaten stiff; flavor
with vanilla and set away in a mold to

Baked Rice Custard-Cook a cupful

butter and bake in well buttered pan

YELLING MUST BE PLENTIFUL
Without Liberal Supply of Material
1t Is Impossible to Get the
Proper Effect.

1t is poor economy to buy too scant
measure when purchasing face veil
ing. A smartly adjusted veil can
never have skinny effect, as when
the back of yelling is straining at the
edges of the veil pin, or when there
is not sufficient material left at the
ends to be tucked from view. Wide
yelling and plenty of it must be used
on even a small hat. An excellent
idea is to have elastic cording rum
through the meshes of the veil at the
top, being so measured as to fit firmly
at the base of the crown. This meth
cd avoids the pinning of the veil to
the hat brim, which is never very
secure way of fastening it and is diff
ficult to do if the hat brim is stiff, and
is apt to leave pin marks i'm amy

Summer Livinq-Room Ruos.

Rugs are a problem, summer or
winter, but particularly in the summer
we long instinctively to get rid of
those with deep velvety surface. One
of the best summer rugs made of wool,
appropriate on that account for all
seasons, is the homespun rag. The
weave is flat, without nap. and the
colors are very soft and cool-looking.
These rugs cost from three to three
dollars and half yard, according
to the color and quality. Harper's

A BOY INTERPRETER
A Young Massachusetts swede In Can.
ada Twenty Years Ago Wants
TO Return.

Twenty years ago, blond haire6
young Swede, a boy of about 10 years
of age, accompanied party OF his
fellow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as an inter
prefer. The party he accompanied To-
Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained In the dis
trict Inconsistencies took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass. and
he has remained there for IL years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
shack to growing, thriving. brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he wac one OF the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official Of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
when l was up in Canada, Calgary
was a small town and so was Edmon-
ton. but understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line Of
railway made a somewhat tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass, there are three
lines of railway dividing the trade of
| hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the prairies In all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements. and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.
He will not be able to secure home
stead unless at considerable distance
from the town. the three dollar an
acre land is selling at from SIS to $35
an acre. He will find now what was
but theory then. that this land that
was then SO an acre is worth the $50
or $50 that may be asked for 1t, and a
good deal more. But he will find that
he can secure homestead just as
good as any that were taken In his
day, and today worth $35 an acre, but
at some distance from line of rail-
way, yet with certainty OF railway
in the near future, and he will find too
that he can still get land at SIS to $18
an acre that will in a year or two be
worth $50 or $35 an acre. Mr.. Nose

distributed around the crown and the
edges of the veil at the bottom caught
at the nape of the neck with a veil
pin or barette. The ends are then
drawn straight up to the back of the
brim and invisibly tucked under the
elastic at the crown. When the veil
loses it's freshness and begins to sag
at the chin twist this portion round
and round and tuck it under its own
surface; this will give trimness to the
otherwise untidy appearance
