As each of the 100 poor persons who
entered the home of Cardinal Gibbons
in the holidays received a basket Of
food for the holiday, he or she was
greeted by the prelate, who wished
them the joys of the season. This
was as much cherished by the needy
as the generous baskets Of good
things that were handed them. The
baskets were distributed through the
Christ Child Society of the Cathedral.
Rev. Louis O'Donovan, chaplain of the
society. supervised the distribution,
and the Cardinal gave some of the
more distressed recipients small sums
Of money.

the tall and lithesome figures, to
whom it is especially becoming. The
model which have used for my first
illustration is frock designed on the
long moyen age lines. The waist

hipline on the sides, while the front

comes the front panel of the waist as
well. A narrow belt is worn loosely
around the waist, defining the normal
waistline. The material of this dress
is the very fashionable covert cloth
trimmed at the V.neck and sleeves
with narrow bands of beaver.
The jumper models are both prac.

many changes in the way of various

plain material, matching the blue OF
the check, high on the skirt in front
and low in the back. With this Is
worn a guimpe of buckskin-colored
crepe de chine.
Taffeta is material which holds a
strong place among the up-to-date ma.

new effects, dimly watered like MORE
silk, changeable and in cross.bar and
dotted effects. 1t is very queer, how.
ever, that more of the taffeta Is used
for evening dresses than for the at
ternoon frocks.
A stunning dress of white cross-bar
taffeta caught my eye the other day
in one of the very smart shop win

bound on a heavy cable cord. On each
side, from waistline to hipline, Is a

which reach just below the bust and
long skirts with very little trimming.
They are very similar to the gowns
worn in Josephine's time, and yet con.
form enough to the fulness Of skirt,
which is the new vogue, to keep them
from being as clinging as the gowns
of those days, and they are far from
being as low.
# A charming little model which
saw this morning was made Of deep
blue taffeta. The waist was very
short, with rounding low neck, which
showed the tips Of the shoulders, and
was finished with frill Of the silk.
The sleeves were short, pulled sleeves,
ALSO finishing with a frill Of the same.
The skirt was set upon the waist with

larly to four-cornered box. The top
of the hat Is slightly lifted, like the
lid of box, showing a bunch of rib
bons protruding. A bow of ribbon
on the lid ending in long streamers
completes the model.
The latest hats show strong
preference for ribbon trimming, usual
ly disposed of in bows and streamers
and again gathered and shirred. They
are sometimes looped around the
crown of a hat in loops the size of a
cartridge, thus forming a cartridge
belt around the crown.
The English, so-called "pill.box,"
hats are to be seen as well as others
with a raised crown. These vie in
popularity with some fiat shapes, one
inelegantly called in the trade the
fried egg" shape.
AS a concession 10 the military
spirit are hats similar to the Scotch
kept and others in imitation Of the
French infantry cap, made up in red
silk with a small shield; the crown
tapers and is denied in on one side
with gold braid embroidered, on the
top.
Another military hat, a cross be.
tween the French police bonnet and
the Austrian infantry cap, is made
with peak in front, where the only
trimming consists of brass button.
OF the suits to travel in, and for
general wear, covert is shown first

long, pointed fronts and pockets set
well down in the points is among the
favorites Of those shown. There is
also smart short jacket which has a
wide belt placed on the upper part of
the Jacket with a high waistline, the
lower edge of the belt coming to the
normal waistline of the figure. With
these Jackets are worn skirts which
flare at the lower edge; they are cut

Many skirts are made with yoke
which is close fitting over the hips

are made with an upper and a lower

the first straw hats of the season.
The hats to be seen mostly at the

wear in the late Spring and Summer.
The majority are of silk, with an
undertaking of straw, or silk trim

silk, while the brims may be of straw.
The all-straw hats are mostly of a

TO COOK RICE.

"a. r. G." wishes to know how to
cook rice so that it will be dry and
each kernel keep its proper shape.
This is a very simple thing to do,
providing one knows how. The first
thing to be done is to buy farina
kettle. or to have made at tin shop
two stout tin pals, one several sizes
smaller than the other. In the outer
pail put as much boiling water as 1t
will hold without running over. when
the smaller pail is set within it; look
over and wash the rice; then put 1t In
the smaller pail, and put IL enough
boiling water to cover it (observe,
the rice, is not to be soaked and the
water is to be boiling; then put the
cover of the inner pail on-the outer
has no cover; the rice will be cooked
tender in from fifteen to twenty min
utes, If you have fire hot enough to
keep the water boiling. Tie rice,
when turned out, will be dry, and each
kernel will be distinct from every
other. Sometimes the condition of the
atmosphere is such that water evapo-
rates rapidly and in this case boiling
water must be kept in the tea kettle
SO that the outer pail may be supplied
from it. It may also be necessary to
add little to the rice. One important
consideration to bear in mind is that
the rice must not be stirred at all.
Stirring will spoil the shape of the
kernels. In. India, as suggested by
"A. R. G." the rice is boiled and served
with meat and the favorite curry, and
tie dish is then called "a curry" A
recipe for making the curry powder is
here given: To three parts turmeric
add two parts black pepper, three
fourths of a part of cayenne pepper,
half part of ginger root, four parts
cumin seeds, six parts corfander seeds,
a quarter Of a part each of nutmeg,
: cloves and cinnamon. The imported
curry powder, which can be bought
at almost all large groceries, is very
satisfactory preparation. But the cook
must remember that it is dangerous to
put in much at time, as the full flaw.
or of the powder is not developed I'M
til It has been wet some little time
say three or four minutes. Expert
ence will teach her, after few trials.
Just how much to use.

The Home Circle
Celia
By Celia Hord Kenny

an unusual guest, but received with
his escort. ..
The President accosted an especially
exquisite young man in the group he
approached.
"Will you please take care of this
little boy for me for a moment because
I want to go out and speak to a man
see outsider"
= OF course the young man addressed
was all affability, setting aside for the
moment his lady killing hopes. The
President departed to stay outside and
watch with some friends from the
darkness without the subsequent dis
comfiture of the exquisite young man,
prevented from dancing or otherwise
playing the gallant by playing nursing
maid to the child he did not want to
court disfavor by resigning to anyone
else.
Still a better story is told of Presi-
dent Houston's receiving visit from
a northern friend, a man who regard
ed Texas with patronizing tolera-
ton. On arriving in Austin his host
met him in some public place and the
guest fastened to express his readi-
ness to adopt himself to whatever
crude entertainment Texas had to
offer.
wherever you live and whatever
you have will suit me, no matter how
plain and primitive" he said, please
don't trouble yourself to give me any
comfort that you do not live in your
SELF" and further eloquence to the ef-
feet that the visitor knew he had come
to the end of the world. His host lis.
tened with patience and agreed with
him that what he had to offer was
most rough but expressed himself glad
that his guest was game to put up
with anything and set out to take him
at once to his own home, it being then
towards night. The two men walked
and walked and walked. They left the
town behind them and came to some
scattered shacks and muddy ground.
The visitor began to wonder where
the President lived and to reflect what
a long walk he must take every day to
and from his work. Presently Hous-
ton stopped near a shack that was
built on stumps and beneath which
family of hogs was comfortably rest
ing. He began to prod the hogs and
chase them from their place and they,
swine.like, would return, grunting and
squealing, back to where they had
been driven from only to be chased
out again. The visitor watched the
proceeding with considerable wonder.
Finally, his patience escaping, he be-
gan to demonstrate with the President.
LET the hogs alone" he said, "what
harm are they doing by sleeping
there?"
"Why, I've got to chase them out"
answered Houston, "don't you see
we've got to sleep there ourselves?"
The story does not tell what the
visitor said when he saw the point.

HOW TO ACQUIRE INFLUENCE.

It is both pitiful and strange that
so many excellent people utterly spoil
the good effect of their own work by
the way they do It. Many an efficient
painstaking nurse can make patient
so uncomfortable as to become, her
self disagreeable, however necessary
dose of medicine. Why? Because she
thinks and talks Of her change chiefly
as a circumstance on which to exer.
else her own capabilities. Many a
teacher loses the best part of his
teaching, the personal bond between
himself and the pupil, because the lat
ter is recognized seemingly as a sort
of chance for the teacher to crate.
Many an Industrious housekeeper
fails to hold the allegiance of her
household because all of her family
members are apparently so many OPP
portunities for the application Of her
culinary, otherwise domestic, ability.
Trained ability is a very fine thing,
but all training that has to do with
personal dealing is incomplete unless
it carry with It the knowing how to
apply the training to the individual
receiving it. A foreign language
teacher was once asked what method
she employed and she answered,
"There is only one method,-the indus
trious method and, as all people are
different, never teach anyone the
same way" A piano teacher, on being
asked whether the printed lingering
on a piece of music should be. literal
ly and strictly followed, answered.
'No two people have the same shaped
hand. The printed lingering is stand
ard and advisable built, If the player
can bring out the phrasing better with
combination Of his own let him use
his own for the main thing is to ex-
press the musical sense Of the COM
position" 1t is told of Henry Clay that
on addressing a jury he sometimes
made what was equivalent to twelve
separate speeches each addressed to
an individual juryman whose counten-
ance showed the capable orator the
kind of argument that would be con.
vincing.

ROBERT BURNS.

Robert Burns, perhaps more than
any other poet, seems to show how
much more there is to poetry than its
form, however pleasing the latter may
be. It is the simple, tender tone in
his mind that is communicated to his
utterly simple phrases that we catch
and that is the compelling charm of
his songs. In this tender mental tone
there is an inexpressible motive of
simple pathos playing beautifully on
our sensibilities, love seeming the
very refinement of human fellowship.
And it is almost equally mysterious
that this inexpressible strain should
be evident through the quaint Scotch
vocabulary that is not always literally
Ineligible to readers unacquainted
with 1t or it's shades of meaning. An
other poet that has peculiar, attract
i've cumpulsion of spirit quality,-so
to speak-quite apart from sentiment
or form, though to be sure the latter
have their own attraction of appealing
fitness, is Kingsley. This is not
meant as likening him to Burns, for
Kingsley's thought quality is quite diff
ferent, but it is evident in the same
way as the distinct though intangible
special charm of it. Some poems have
the effect Of bell rung in time to
our minds. Kingsley has strain of
human solicitude that is peculiarly
wooing. 1t seems to convey a keen,
sympathetic sense ofthe daily round
Of living. That is what comes home
in '"The Sun Goes Up and the Sun
Goes Down." in "The Sands O. Dee" in
the seasong, "Watchman, What of the
Night?" and in all of his household
lyrics. And this warm, personal quail
ity, wherever found, seems to forbid
any attempt to estimate excellence
according to given standard. Shakes
peare is wronged by being called the
greatest Of dramatists. He bears no
such relation. He Is simply the ex-
preston of humanity with no degree
of comparison or of estimation. Thus
let not Burns be called an author, a
writer, or even poet or genius.
Call him simply a Human Voice,
heart expression, supreme sympath-
etic fellowship. His songs enclose
an Interpretation that is eminently
pure, yet we cannot pause to analyse
them. What they breathe is what
they give us, and we do not wish to
discover the scientific wherefore of it
any more than we should wish to di.
vert our minds from enjoying music
by studying the laws of acoustics. So,
whether the lyric open with the trum-
pet-like blast of "Scots Who Haze Wiz
Wallace Bled," or with the protecting
tenderness and homage of ooh, Vert
Thou in the Cauld Blast"-whether it
be hymn to virgin love in the poem,
ITO KISS" or whether it be tribute
celebrating the ripeness and perfec-
ton Of the same love near life's de-
cline in the Incompatible celebration
Of married love in "John Anderson,
My 10, john" we are compelled by the
inexplicable beauty of the thought
quality and by the sublime simplicity
Of its utterance. Our best study of
Burns is achieved by yielding com.
pletely to this sweet compulsion.
