water, and the sandwiches will keep

Of Central police station:
"Stay sober OF lose your bush!"
In spite Of the appalling tendency OF
the times. the unfortunate has been
found who finds crumb of comfort
in the change. Jacob Bush. who lost

too hasty expenditure of lavish
gratuity and the consequent night in
cell. declares that business has i'm
proved wonderfully since he was de-
proved Of his whiskers.

"All 1t takes Is little sense. Next

GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE.

When a delicious cake for an i'm
portant occasion is needed. here 1t is:
Brownies 0sIIeht.-Make four lay
ers of rich white cake and put them
together with the following filings:
Make boiled frosting of four cups of
sugar. the whites Of four eggs. cook
ing the sugar until 1t hairs. The
frosting may be made in large plat
ter and then divided into four parts.
Into the first part put a grated CO.
coanut and the pulp of an orange
rubbed through a sieve; spread this
on one layer. Into the second portion
put a cup of chopped hickory nut
meats. cup of chopped raisins and
Put on the third layer and cover with
the frosting in which a cup Of chopped
almonds and a cup of shredded citron
is mixed. On the top layer put the
plain frosting.
A very small portion of such rich
ness would go great ways. The lay
ers are, of course, large in size.

bowl. cover with sirup made of su-
gar, water and a little lemon Juice

NUTS AS FOOD.

The food value of nuts Is beginning
10 be better appreciated. though many
people have an idea that nuts are
oughly masticated in order to be di-
gested, and that is one reason why.
after improper eating. they cause dis
tress.
Pecans which are Drowned in a bit
Of butter. salted and then seasoned
with dash of red pepper are de-
licious accompaniment to any dinner.
Nuts and fresh mushrooms are a
combination worth trying. Saute two
tablespoonfuls of chopped onion and
. half cup Of mushrooms in four table,
spoonfuls of butter. Cook for fve
minutes. then stir In two tablespoon
fuls of -four. cook until smooth and
add salt. pepper and half cup Of
milk; stir and cook for five minutes.
then add cup Of chopped nuts
either walnuts or pecans. Serve in
ramekins or on buttered toast.
Delicious Nut Potatoes.-Here is
something to try on your best friend:
Choose rather small. even-sized pota-
toes. cut OF the end and grease all
over with olive oil. Bake in hot
oven, and when we'll done remove and
carefully scoop out the inside from
the cut end Of the potato; mash this
and season we'll with salt, cream, or
melted butter; add half cup of
chopped nuts. beat until light and
puffy; then fold in the beaten whites
Of two eggs. Refill the shells with
this. return to the oven to reheat and
brown on top.
An Attractive saIad.-Arrange head
lettuce in Individual salad bowls. place
a few slices of cucumber In the head.
sprinkle with chopped nuts (even Pc
cans are good for this sa1ad). sug-
gestion of minced onion or the juice
added to the French dressing with
which this salad is served. Prepare
the dressing by using one part of vim
egar to three of oil, mix well. add
half teaspoonful of salt to each three
tablespoonfuls of oil. dash Of ta-
basco and little Worcestershire.
A pretty way to serve nuts and eel
cry is to heap the nuts in the center
of a plate and arrange stalks Of ten
der celery stuffed with seasoned
cream cheese radiating from the nuts.

VERY NEWEST IDEA IN BAGS
Black Molre and Taffeta Embroidered

Thing.

The very newest idea in bags is the
black MORE or taffeta bag. embroidered
In tiny blue and pink flowers. These
bags are oval in shape. slightly gath.

handles are of moire ribbon, and many
Of them have jeweled or silver slides
They are just as pretty as they can
be, with certain oldtimey air that
gives them a cachet all their own. The
shape is repeated in bags of black tat
feta. pin-striped in white. but they are
not nearly 30 effective as the fiowered
bags.
Some of these bags are quite impos
ing in size, while others are of medium
size. The allblack taffeta bags In
some instances are finished with q

to two inches in width, and one oval
shaped black moire bag had a tiny

SHOWS SOME NOVEL IDEAS
Handkerchief for This Season Are
Dainty. and Many original De-
signs Are Seen.

All is astir In the handkerchief mar
ket New samples are being received
lines for roadmen arranged and plans
completed for the coming season. AS
usual. absolute novel ideas are few and
far between. but the desired element
of novelty is found in new and clever
interpretations Of old motifs.
The one corner idea continues to
hold the center of attraction. The
features Of this seasons productions
are daintiness of the designs and their
careful arrangement SO as to extend

as in former seasons.
One-sided designs are again in evt-
dence, and will find favor by adding
the spice OF variety.
The Longfellow initial won such
widespread favor last season that its
position In this seasons lines is prac-
tically secure. Many new Lonfellow
designs are shown surrounded by
elaborate decorations, but the simpler.
daintier effects will have flrst place in
popular esteem.
The oriental initials which made
their appearance last spring are again
featured. and az the oriental influence
is pronounced In women's wear they
should find even greater favor than
ever before.
The usual big movement in simple
initial handkerchiefs. both script and
blocked, is expected. The dainty un-
decorated letters are indicated for .
slight preference over the decorated
ones. Among the daintiest initiated
numbers are those finished with tiny

Another quaint reticule of other
days is of moire In black and in the
dark reds and browns and blues. with
an elaborate embroidery of cut steel
beads. 1t is more unusual than the
beaded bags of other seasons. but not
SO effective.
To carry with white linen and tub
dresses there are bags Of white kid
embroidered in the Algerian colors-
blues and greens and reds. The design
is conventional one. but the color
schemes are well developed and the
effect is very pleasing, particularly
with an all-white costume. Many Of
these bags are displayed in the new
oval shape, while others are long and
narrow, in the envelope shape of last
season. Both the chain and the
leather handles are shown with these
bags. and many Of them are fitted
with change purses and vanity acces-
sories.

CHERRY TIME.

Cherry time will soon be with us.
SO 1t is well to look up the good
things we intend to prepare II you
are cherry lover. don't fail to put
up few quarts Of the rich dark red
cherries for the winter dinner table.
Cherry oiIves.-Cover the pitted
cherries with good vinegar and let
stand over night. In the morning
drain OF the vinegar and weigh the
cherries. adding an equal weight of
sugar. stirring until 1t is all dissolved.
Cover the jar with a plate and cloth
and set away in the fruit cellar. The
vinegar and sugar preserves them
sufficiently without sugar. The vine
gar may be used with sugar to pre-
pare shrub for summer drink.
Cherry Puddine.-A simple little
pudding which may be prepared by
using the fresh or canned fruit: Sift
cup of -four with two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, half teaspoonfnul
of salt, and stir In half to three
fourths of cup of milk. Butter

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience Of Motherhood Is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not ono
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstAnds how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for tho
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it il hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing ID
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
