So when Josie soulfully declared
that she had known he would, Broad
way did not let it pass with an unap-
preciative, "Of course you did, but
looked at her with gratitude alight in
his pleased face and humbly queried,
Did you?"
For a moment the fact that she de-
clared that she had known he would be
decent and not villainously selfish SO
completely overwhelmed him (and
please do not forget that she, within a
minute, had admitted that she thought
him capable of basest selfshness) that
he could not find words with which to
proceed conversationally. All men are
that way.
But presently he recovered self-pos-
session and continued:
Now, l don't know anything about
business. and I don't know anything
about money. I never did days work
in nv life for the simple reason that l
never had to-" g..
He looked at her with shamed
smile, the first evidence that he had
ever shown of anything but pride in
his ability to live idly with enormous
and successful effort

reached the next full stop.

she feel a vivid hope that he would go

done which were not good? Such re-

w HEN long journey is to be un-
W dertaken, or where there is a
prospect of globe-trotting ahead, there
is one garment that may be depended
upon for comfort and for style; it
is the travellers cape. 1t has taken
the place of the old-fashioned shawl
and is the same reliable companion
which does duty on all sorts Of occa-
sions and helps out in all sorts of
emergencies.
These capes and combinations of
capes with other garments have been
designed in several ways. When made
Of material of medium weight the
cape is often part Of a loose-fitting
coat, and is detachable and fastened
to the undergarment at the collar. In
heavier fabrics the cape is cut in one
with the coat and is shorter, extend
ing about to the knees. Or cape fronts
Of the same length as the coat are
fastened in at the side seams and are
shaped to accommodate themselves to
the shape of the coat. This special
variety is intended for the sea trip
more particularly.
The convenience of cape like that
shown in the picture is evident. 1t
may be worn over the coat-suit or
as an extra garment over separate
coat, or without any other wrap un-
der it, depending upon the amount of
protection the wearer needs. 1t is
easily kept presentable and is never
out of fashion. Such garments are
made of the best grade of fabrics used
for outer wraps and made in the most
substantial manner, as they are likely
to be subject to rough wear.
The cape illustrated is made Of blue
broadcloth in the brightest Of navy
blue and Is trimmed with fiat white
braid. Black braid is a wiser choice
for a long journey, because it doesn't
require cleaning very often. A heavy
quality of cloth is chosen, and is
shrunk before the cape is cut Besides
broadcloth there are other serviceable
cloths that answer the purpose for a
travelling cape, but none quite as good
looking. Cravanette and the several
waterproofed fabrics, like serge and
cheviot, are to be considered, and the
choice governed by the needs or taste
of the individual.
The broadcloth cape is lined with a
substantial woolen fabric, as rule

but recently the wisdom of this meth
Cd has been questioned, it being said
that the eggs absorb soluble silica in
sufficient amount to make them unfit
to be eaten.
DR.. Bartlett, an English chemist
has been testing eggs so preserved,
and has proved that if the bath con-
tains free soda the eggs absorb it and
their whites become like jelly. But
when a ten per cent. solution Of sill
cate of soda 6e used theye is none of
this absorption. After being i'm
mersed for eleven months the eggs
contain no more silica than when
fresh. They are in very much better
condition than when preserved for the
same length of time by freezing, as
the pores of their shells are her
metically closed.

Poetic Fashion.

1t is somewhat difficult to account
for the cause of the Byronic revival
so far as ties and collars are con-
cerned. That the black Latin Quarter
tie is here to accompany the soft roll
collar like unto that affected by Lord
Byron in the early part Of the nine.
teenth century there is no doubt. To
a young face and to beauty the Byron
collar and soft black tie are very be-
coming, but the simplicity Of the fash
ion is trying to a woman devoid OF
either.

The robin that sings in the morning glow
A song is full Of glee
May be fretting some sad soul here De-
low
With the song that is sweet to me;
The roisterer who, care free, last night
Went reveing late and long.
May rail at the robin that gives delight
To me with his main song.
But little, think, does the robin care
For the hate of the one who lies
With heavy heart on his bed up there
And rubs at his bloodshot eyes.
And why should you, as you strive away.
Be chilled by the sneering few?
We can't please all with the things we
say
Or the things that we sing or do.

A Thanksgiving Novelty

Candy bouquets for the holiday
season are attractive and not hard
to make. The flowers composing these
bouquets are formed Of sugared al
monds and sugared iellied candies or
assorted sizes, mint and Nintergreeh
waters in different colors. fiat rasp-
berry and lemon drops in hard can
dies and crystallized Niolets, me
latter are formed into bouquets ps
the same method that the candy pei
ais are formed into flowers. Artlh-
cial foliage and pistils, which may be
purchased from a florist supply
house. are added in arranging the
flowers in bouquets. Lemon drops
heated then rolled in graduated
sugar, make good centres, says the
Washington Sunday Star.
To turn pieces Of candy into petals
you win need green-covered florists
wire in five-inch lengths and an al
cohol lamp. Burn off the covering at
one end of q wire, then heat it red
hot and insert it in the candy. The
melted sugar in cooling hardens
around the wire and binds the stem
to the flower. The wires of the sep
arate petals are then twisted togeth-
er around the pistil and the flower is
complete.
A sugar icing may be used to bind
the petals together without the aid of
stems in forming fiat bouquet faVors
and decorating cakes. If candied an
gelica is used for the decoration of
cakes wash it first in warm water to
remove the glace sugar. 1t may then
be cut into any shape desired, using
strips for stems and diamond shaped
pieces for leaves.

Clarified Fat

Any uncooked fat, such as suet, the
fat from chickens and all superhuous
beef fat should be saved for use in
number Of ways--frying, basting,
greasing pans, shortening bread pies
or gingerbread.
1t should always be clarified. Cut
the fat into small pieces, cover with
cold water and cook over slow fire
until the fat has melted and the water
nearly all eyaporated.
Strain and press all the fat from
the scraps, says an exchange.
Let. cool and remove the cake Of
hard fat, or, If soft, draw to one side
and let the water underneath run off.
Any fat, except mutton fat, turkey or
smoked meat, may be added to the
cake.
If there be any sediment adhering
to the fat, add little cold water, and
after stirring we'll pour the water off
or skim the fat from the water. Place
the fat in a pan over the fire, and
when melted add one small raw po-
tato, cut in thin slices. Let stand on
the top of the stove until the fat has
stopped bubbling. is still, and the po-
tato scraps are brown, crisp and rise
to the surface Strain through q fine
strainer and keep in a cool place
Fat thus cleared will keep sweet
for weeks, if melted occasionally,
| which should always be done when
any new fat is added.
Drippings are used in place of lard
| by many cooks. who prefer the pure
beef or chicken fat to the pork fat.
