For the Picnic Lunch.

For the Picnic Lunch.
Puff pastry is a delicious little dainty
to include in the picnic luncheon menu
To make puff paste take a pound Of
t1our and sift it well and stir in a
pinch of salt, the beaten yolk of an
egg and sufficient ice cold water to
make a stir paste. As -four varies
80 much in the quantity of water that
it will take up, it is almost impossible
to tell how much. will be required.
Consequently a little should be added
at a time till the dough is mixed.
Take some good fresh butter and wash
1t in water and then wrap in a cloth
and lay it in the ice chest, If there is
one handy; If not, place on the floor
Of the pantry for an hour. Roll out
the dough and place the butter in a
lump In the center Of the dough and
fold the sides over 1t. Set away In a
cold place for another hour. Then
-oll 1t out into a long strip. Fold this
into three by turning in the ends. Keep
the dough quite cold and continue this
process six times. Between the third
and fifth rollings out lay the dough
In a cold place for an hour before pro-
ceeding. Then it is ready to bake.
Before placing in the oven the top Of
the pastry should be brushed over
either with milk or the beaten yolk Of
an egg The latter gives the pastry
a rich yellow tint, which, however, is
not always liked. Bake in a quick
oven and take out as DOE 8 cooked
and nicely Drowned Pastry should be
cooled in q hot or warm room. as It
keeps Its crispness better.
To make sweet filings for any of the
molds either stew the fruit until quite
thick, using only Just sufficient water,
or else mash or slice the fresh fruit,
sweeten to taste and fill the molds.
Mash with whipped cream or serve
plain. These pies are delicious, and
as they are served cold are SO easy to
prepare once the cases are made. The
smaller cases can be filed with sweets
or savories as liked. Vegetables serv-
ed in cases is a nice way Of using up
cold vegetables. They may be used
either hot or cold.
| These cases are delightfully."- easy
things to take to a picnic. Store the
cases in q tin box and take the filing
In Jars. There will be no appalling
mixture of sweets and meats. for until
the cases are filed their contents are
reposing in tightly corked or stoppered
wide necked Jars. A delicious filing
for the cases and much liked at river
lunches is made with a tin Of lobster
and cream. Whip a teacupful Of cream
to a stir froth and cut open the lob
ster tin and mince all the flesh finely.
Squeeze a few drops Of lemon juice
over and sprinkle with paprika pep
per and any flavoring liked. Just be-
fore filing the cases stir the cream
and lobster together and I'LL the cases
Stand on some fresh lettuce leaves
and there you are!
> Any nice cream filing may be made
Of meat finely minced and nicely fla
vored and placed in a pan with a sprin-
kle of -four and a tablespoonful of
good gravy. Simmer till stif. take
on the fire and add two tablespoonfuls
Of cream when the meat is almost
cold.

In regard to summer meals simplicity
should govern their preparation. Avoid
all highly seasoned dishes. Prepare

beef. mutton or fowl nee q day Is a
large meat allowance for q child who
is old enough for such foods. The
fresh, green vegetables are most
wholesome.
Cut down ON potatoes in hot weather
and always serve them baked or mash

cut or chopped vegetables. are espe-
cially n%ourishing. Clam bouillon. too.

All the simple dishes, like bread and

diet that is cooling. palatable and sat
isfying.
Milk is. Of course, the summer food
staple, but methers need to remember
that 1t is a hearty food in itself and
not q beverage to be used as water to
satisfy thirst and added to a full meal.
For the incessant demand for "a
drink give pure cool water that is not
ice cold and give 1t between meals.
Teach the children that a few sips
slowly taken will quench thirst better
than a whole glass of water hastily
swallowed. With cereals, blancmange
and bread, milk makes a nourishing
meal. One of the best lunches on a hot
day is a beaten egg in a glass of cooled
cocoon. The egg Lemonade and orange
ade are nourishing food drinks also.

All these, however, were exceeded
by Winkelmaier, an Austrian, who
was exhibited in London in 1887 and
was eight feet nine inches in height.
He. again. was exceeded by Mach

tn. Magic Breath.

It is not well to play another per-
sons game If there is anything at
stake upon the result. An example is
afforded in the game called 1.-THE
Magic Breath" Ask some person who
considers himself smart to hold his
hand out. On the extended hand you
put three bits Of paper. Then you
tell him that you will use your magic
In such q way that you will blow away
In one pun any one or any two Of the
papers.
He will think this is impossible, but
Of course 1t is easy or you wouldn't
undertake to do it. All that is neces-
sary is to know how. Suppose your
victim says you are to blow away the
two outside papers and leave the mid
die one remaining. In that case you
place a finger on the middle one, give a
pun Of breath. and. Of course. the other
two papers will be, blown away. just as
you said.

Our Courtssy.

There Is nothing which 80 exalts
and graces q man in the opinion OF
others az his politeness and consid-
Grafton for his wife. Instead Of being,
as some unfortunately feel it, unmanly
and weak, it is the highest type OF
manliness, and to such service OF love
and respect the woman will invariably
respond with all the tenderness and
affection of her nature" says an au-
thority on etiquette.
What a splendid thing it would be IT
every married man would take that
paragraph into his heart and model his
manner to his wife upon it!
One of the awkward moments q
guest sometimes experiences is being
a witness of a mans rudeness to his
wife. Sympathy for the woman, wrath
at the man and indignation on her
own b~ehalf-for. rudeness to his wife
indicates the man would be discourte-
GUS to all women If he dared-make
her c~ontemptuous Of n so lacking in
true m%anliness. Fault finding about
food, criticism over small oversights,
lmpatience over errors at cards-all
trivial matters that a man should re-
gard as the accidents of the moment
and rise above-make the spectator
wonder how the wife fares in the
privacy Of home.
Such things wound and humiliate
the wife and lessen her love. Yes,
they do. How can she believe in q
mans love who will not regard her
feelings In public at least? She laughs
them ofr-it is the only thing she can
door she passes them over in silence.
but she knows how other women re-
gard them, and she knows her hus-
bands stock is going below par in
their estimation. and that hurts her
pride in him.

vvssVs SUO sNsVO rs
Many mothers might take a lesson
to heart from the following incident,
narrated by one Of Napoleon's biog-
raphers:
His little son. the famous king Of
Rome-L'Aiglon, whom Maude Adams
portrayed at a young boy a few years
ago-was hardly more than a baby.
He was In charge Of a lady Of high
birth, who acted as his governess. In
addition to gentle birth this woman
possessed q true love and thorough
sympathy for children. She under
stood the little king Of Rome as no.
body else did. and in return for her
affection and Kindness he grew very
fond of her.
One day he began to cry. pettishly
and rebelliously. and would not stop.
The lady ordered the windows closed.
the curtains dra wn and the candles
lighted.
The child looked on III wonder.
What are you doing?" he finally
asked.
Il am closing the windows SO that
the people Of France will not know
that their little prince cries." said the
lady.
The little prince run to her impul-
sively. "A thousand pardons. ma
DAME" he said In the formal words In
which he had been taught. And he
forthwith stopped crying.
His g0verness understood that an
appeal to a child's sense of honor will
have more effect than all the scolding
or reasoning In the world. Most moth
ers. although their children are not
princes. could at least suggest to their
children that the nelghbors in want Of
subjects would hear the crying. An
appeal of this sort seldom fails, espe-
cially when drawn curtains and lights
in the middle Of the day have attract
ed the child's attention and taken his
thoughts away from the cause Of bis
sorrow. .,
What Every Mother Should Know.
Every mother should early learn the
appearance Of a healthy throat. She
can then easily recognize intiamma-
ton. enlarged tonsils and other I'M
healthy conditions. She should also
accustomf her child to throat examina-
ton. Even q baby will soon learn
that there IL nothing to dread in hav-
ing a teaspoon or other form Of tongue
depressor used. Az 90 many Of chill
dren's serious troubles staSt in the
throat, 1t 70 better to be overcautious
and to summon a doctor at once. The
appearance Of a rash is another danger
signal which should not be allowed to
60 unheeded. A child on whom .
rash has broken out should at once be
guaranteed. especially II there are
other children In the family.
II Q child shows any bad effects
from q fall q doctor should be- con-
suited and the child thoroughly en-.
amined. The fact that no bones arc
broken ID no proof that other injury
has not been sustained. This Il one

vention Il worth many pounds Of cure.

Personal Rsmarks.

Personal HornArkS.
The habit of making personal re-
marks grows upon people. and many
are surprised when informed that
there can be no greater breach Of
etiquette.
In any place where a conversation
can be overheard mischief beyond re-
pairing is often done by remarks con-
corning the personal affairs Of either
the speaker or her friends. Usually 1t
Is women that make these remarks.
Men have to be careful, for the
reason that they may reap the just
reward of a Touchdown from some n
overheanng.
Otter these remarks are made from
an overwhelming sense Of curiosity.
An incident relates a story of a very
young girl who, attending a large re-
cept1on, noticed q most peculiar look
ing woman standing nea and as soon
as conventional greetings were over
eagerly inquired of her hostess. Dear
Mrs. <, who is that dreadful wo-
man standing over there by the door,"
Imagine her horror when the reply
came In cold tones, 'That is my
mother" She fed to a near friend to
tell her tale Of woe and received then
and there a lecture that lasted through
life on the importance Of keeping her
remarks confined to other things than
personal matters.
1t is bad taste. which means a breach

anybody in a crowd, whether it be at
10 reception, on the street, in a public
conveyance or In any case excepting
perhaps the name Of a person.
Otter the very person for whom the
curiosity is felt is really Of importance,
in a way, may be a celebrity, eccentric
lin dress and bearing, so it is well to
steer clear Of personal remarks unless
lin the nature Of a compliment. The
woman who is invited to spend any
time with friends will do well to re-
member this law, for it is a law Of
etiquette, before making any sort OF
remark about n guest to another or
to her hostess about any guest pres
ent. She may find herself in very deep
water and never be invited again.
People are prone to talk about people,
not about things. and that is why n
woman got the reputation Of being
"the best talker about the weather"
ever heard. She had found it a safe
topic and kept herself out Of trouble
by using all her powers to make 1t
her one pet subject.

MAY ABOLISH PRESS AGENT.
Vacancy in Post Office Department
Likely to Remain Untitled

Newspapermen with democratic affiIia-
lions, who may have had their eye on the
position of press representative Of the
Post Office Department, from which Jesse
Suter recently resigned. will be interested
to learn that that position may be abol-
ished.
At the Post Office Department it is said
today that there is some question among
the Postmaster Generals advisers as to
whether the department ought to con-
tinue to place itself i'm the position of
having what is called press agent"
The position they take is that ethically
the department ought not to admit that
it needs press agenting" 1t is said by
them that all the actual work that a press
representative need do. under demo-
cratic economy and efficiency system, can
be done in five hours a week. and that it
is not democratic economy to pay q man
l.SO a year for that amount of work.
During the regime of Postmaster Cell
erai Hitcheock the Office of press repre-
sentative was busy one and Mr.. Suter
