TYRANNY OF SUNDAY
DINNER TRADITION

Why Sunday should be sacred to a
midday dinner, and the balance of the
day devoted to digestion is not evident.
II does seem rather material that SO
much must be sacrificed to mere feed
ing, when II Is possible to have good
hot meal that will not require more than
a half hour in its preparation.
II II must be q roast, a loin or veal,
leg Of pork or a pair of chickens will
be just as good IL they are roasted on
Saturday and set away in the dripping
pan, and given the last half hour in a
good hot oven on the day of serving.
A steak needs but little time and loin
chops are better than the average les
Of lamb.
Potatoes. If boiled for twenty minutes
in their skins. can be finished In the
oven during the same half hour; or cold
boiled ones can be Drowned in the pan
with the heating roast. IL chops are the
choice. the frying OF the potatoes in deep
fat. Is a matter of a few minutes. Spa
ghetti, with cheese or tomato sauce, is a
good substance for potatoes and the
browning can be done in a few minutes.
Any of the green vegetables can be boiled
the day before drained and rcheated with
butter. CauIifowcT or onions can be re-
juvenated with their cream dressing. and
those vegetables that require long cook
ing can safely be simmering while the
housekceper is at church or taking the
rest that is always considered a mascu-
line right on the one day a week.

SUFFRAGE WORKER
IS CALLED TRAITOR
Mrs. Antoinette Funk. by Recent
Statement. Is Said to
Be Menace.

ANY person belittling the patriotic
work accomplished by the men who
framed the Constitution, and making
sneering remarks about the wisdom of
the heroes of the Revolutionary war, is
to be classed with traitors and an
archists." said Mrs. William Cogswell,
who spoke yesterday at headquarters of
the District Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage. Her subject was THE
Duty of the Women"
Mrs. Cogewell referred to the state
ments of Mrs. Antoinette Funk, of the
National Woman Suffrage Association,
given out Sunday, in which she said: 1T
seems to have been the idea of the
fathers of the Constitution that they
possessed all the wisdom in the world
and that future generations would be in
capable Of self-government."
ANY person." said Mrs. Cogswell
trying TO cast aspersions on the wisdom
of our Revolutionary forefathers and
their accomplishments is a decided
menace to this country. II Mrs. Funk is
dissatisfied with the work done by the
men Of re, there are few who would
weep If she left for foreign parts. The
difference between the work of the Revo-
lutionary heroes and that of Mrs. Funk

RUFFLED PILLOW COVERS.

doirs. Ruffied window curtains, bed
spreads and pillow covers are replacing
the straight-bordered effects of the last
few years. and miladys room promises
to become as gayly frilled sanctum as
1t was half century ago.
Ruffied pillow cases are especially
dainty and feminine and they give the
final touch of luxury TO the bed. If one
does not desire to sleep on the beruffied
pillows they may be exchanged at night
for smaller pillows in plain linen slips
or the ruffie slips may be removed and
put on again next morning. This takes
but a moment. If the slip covers are
roomy enough to go over the pillow with
out tugging. Two or three snap buttons
sewed along the opening. under the ruffles
hold the dainty covers smoothly in place
and may be unfastened in a twinkling at
night
Rather narrow ruff1es give the best ef-
fect-two and a half inches should be the
limit of width, and the hens should be
very narrow also. Make the ruffies full
enough to be fluted by the laundress and
the effect will be very crisp and smart
Such pillow covers should be square
rather than oblong, and the pillow may
be stuffed into the square. the snap but
tons holding II firmly in place. OF course
the ruffies must go around all four sides
of each cover, and the bed thus dressed,
will need no pillow shams bolster roll
or other device to hide the sleeping pill

THE NEW NEEDLECRAFT.

There has been a wonderful revival OF
the old laces in needlecraft. They are
being translated into coarser weaves for
the practical usage of our modern time.
Fine examples Of the cut work en-
broidery. which Is handsome and makes
the most unusual lamp and candle shades,
are sold.
Lingerie candle shades of alb kinds are
much used. especially for the boudoir.
These come in real gros venise, while
those made Of fIlet crochet are most at
tractive.
Guest towels are becoming more elabor-
ate. Some are embroidered simply with
the initial: Others are combined with
the loveliest Of hIet laces.
There is also a new kind Of punch
work. which has been adapted from the
old Flemish ,aces. This makes charm
ing pillows and scarfs. Then there are
fascinating pillows made with odd COL
lections OF antique laces let in. They
are ideal for the boudoir.
Boudoir caps are made of net in quaint
Dutch designs. with a broad band of
real duchesse lace, while tiny real lace

Women Lost to History.

when the siege Of the Alamo began
there were three women inside the walls. -
Granville Jones said in talk before an
audience in Kansas City recently. 1T
was necessary, OF course. to get them
out OF the danger zone. SO parley was
opened with Gen. Santa Ana He gave
permission and they passed between the
lines TO safety.
"One Of these womcn.-it was, who
made a memorable ride to the camp of
Gen. Sam Houston and told him of the
plight of the brave men inside the old
mission at San Antonio. The other two
have been lost to history. The moment
they passed beyond the grim, fateful
walls of the Alamo they probably sought
shelter with friends or relatives. At any
rate the chroniclers of the time made no
record of their doings. in attending to
the mighty matters then happening in
the republic of Texas. although We would

said. 1T did not use to be fashion to
canonize saints until they were dead.
Mr.. Stevens thought that from the Pres.
ident's pertinacity in sticking to Gen
Halleck there was danger that he might
appoint Halleck to the new rank.
The debate was not going to suit Mr.
Washbourne. and he soon took the floor
He demanded to know what would have
been our position as a nation in the
present struggle had it not been for the
achievements of Gen. Grant. No mar
had mentioned Grants name for thi,
honor. with Grants permission. Mr.
Washburne reviewed Grants campaigns
and closed by saying that he wanted
action on the bill then, because of "a
solemn and earnest conviction that Grant
was the man upon whom the country
must depend to bring the war to @
speedy and triumphant close
THE people of this country now want
a fighting and a successful general to
lead their armies" he declared.
The debate became so animated that
Mr.. Washburne, white with rage"
charged the House with not daring to
go on record in the matter. George
s. Boutwell,, OF Massachusetts. opposed
the bill because he felt it created a par
tisan feeling. Mr- washburne fiercely
asked IL Massachusetts, was showing sec
tional feeling in the matter because
Grant was a Western man.
After further heated debate the bill
was put to a vote and was adopted as
amended, S6 to A. Several Republicans
voted against the bill. including Bout
well and William B. Washburne. Of Mas
sachusetts: Garfield, William B. Kelly,
of Pennsylvania, and Thaddeus Stevens.
The bill passed the Senate February 26
with but six dissenting votes. Grants
name, however. was stricken out Of 1t on
the ground that the amendment contain
ing ii intrenched on the Senate's right
to confirm or reject The Presidents ap-
pointment of a lieutenant general The
House, after a short debate, passed the
bill as received from the. Senate, 73 to
