Some years ago we moved from our
home town-the town we were born
and reared in and where all our friends
and kinsbolk lived" said the nelghbor,
" woman. The new town was q
railroad and river town. / thought we
would soon have neighbors and In time
friends. / did get acquainted soon
with one woman, but she moved away.
She recommended some other friends
Of hers to me. / intended to call, but
never did, my boys, my work and my
home keeping me busy.
after awhile grew to be Ike the
people around me, tending to my own
business and making no calls. But
was lonely. One Of my children came
down with scarlet fever. We were
guaranteed. II made little difference.
as no one had the habit Of coming to
our house, anyhow, or Of going to
other peoples houses. The third day
Of the quarantine heard a step in
the back yard and rushed to the door,
thinking the deliveryman had not seen
the sign.
at was my nearest neighboc. She
had a dish Of something in her hand.
For the sick little fellow she said.
I'm sorry I'can't come in and give It
to him myself stood looking at her

she said.
Offended! She never can know how
good she looked to me.
I'VE became friends after thai
Through her / met other neighbors.
We never tire OF doing good turns for
each other. II has made life a thou
sand times more worth living for me-"

Etiaustta Of Mourning.

A widow who intends to leave OF
her mourning In due time wears a
Grape bonnet and long ven and Grape
trimmed gowns a year. After this
dull black. suitably relieved by white
and lilac touches, should be worn for
a year. When two years have passed
colors may be worn
As long as the Grape veil and Grape
trimmed gowns are worn a woman
should refrain from participation in
all social gayeties. After six months a
widow may attend concerts and matt
nee performances at the theater. When
the Grape trimmings are put on small
dinners and luncheons and night per-
formances at the theater or opera may
be attended.
OF course these are conventional
rules, which she may follow II she
wishes. They are not adhered to by
every one. for people are becoming
more liberal about mourning and are
following their own inclinatiOns re-
garding the matter rather than doing
as some one else has done under sim
liar circumstances.

Dishes For Lenten Eass.

Most Of the novelty kitchen devices
sold over American counters originated
In Germany. German cooks delight In
making many novel and special dishes
In which to serve special foods. This
is very likely owing to the fact that
the German housewife likes to use odd
shaped and gayly colored dishes on her
table.
In the breakfast eggs are the quaint
est little dishes Of majolica. Some Of
them are covered and some uncovered.
Many Of them rest over q dish design
ed to hold warm water and thus keep
the eggs from cooling OF. A design
which is especially pleasing was an
arrangement Of twelve little nests in
the shape Of half eggshells grouped
around a brown hare which was
standing up quantity on its hind legs
and which served point Of usefulness
As a convenient handle to the dish.
Another egg set arranged In much
the same fashion had a little yellow
chicken, life size, as the handle and
center decoration. One covered dish
was topped by a comfortable looking
hen with her wings spread out as II
she were sitting on a nest. In all
there were perhaps a dozen different
designs in this atractively colored
majolica ware, which has the advan-
tage Of being reasonably priced.

soIuinn q Social ProhI.m.

A young matron who had asked six
friends to luncheon suddenly found
herself without q maid. She was
equal to the occasion, however, and on
their arrival said nothing to her guests
about the very important missing mem
Der OF her household.
Before going to the dining room each
guest was handed a ribbon bow, to
which was attached q safety pin, and
told to find her place by matching the
colors at the places. 1t did not take
long to appropriate the pretty aprons
with the strings Of ribbon to match
each bow. They were made Of large
colored handkerchIefs, and the point
forming the bib was pinned up by the
safety pin and bow.
AnchOvy canapes formed the first
course. After they were eaten the
hostess turned to the guest at her
right and said, Look under your
plate and do what the card says"
And the little card bore this request.
please remove the plates and bring
In the soup" Amid much merriment
this was accomplished, the bouillon be-
ing already on a tray over the gas,
which was turned low. Another guest
removed the cups and brought in the
next course. Minute directions were
on each card. The hostess did not find
It necessary to leave the table. and the
absence OF the maid was voted to have
made the party a great success. Every
one declared that the aprons were the
most acceptable Of souvenirs

Draw them out straight and lay

Is dry.
The right side naturally requires the
most ironing. but the wrong side must
be ironed quite smooth. Lift the collar

MISS ANNE MORGAN.

Miss Anne Morgan, youngest daugh,
ter Of the late f1nancier Of that name
seems to have inherited some Of bis
remarkable executive ability. Since
her fathers death she has been the
leader In several philanthropic schemes
unusual IN scope and striking in their
success.
One Of her most successful projects
has been the vacation savings fund.
out Of which grew many projects for
the benefit OF working women. One Of
these Is a lunch room and club for
girls on Thirty-ninth street. New York.
A second lunch service combined with
q dance hall has been opened in the
Strand theater building. The Lafa-
yette fund. whose object is to supply
emergency kits for the soldiers Of
France, is a hobby which has enlisted
her interest as well as that Of many
other society women. The vacation
war relief committee. In which Miss
Morgan is interested. supplies work to
girls who are out Of employment. The
work consists in the sewing of gar
ments for the war sufferers In Europe.
Altogether Miss Morgan seems to be
q busy and reSourceful woman and
rather notable for the practical and
original form Of her philanthropies.

Cookery
Points,
Oyster Stsws.

Sy8NGE SNgNos
There are many recipes for oyster
stews. One must be careful about the
length Of time the stew Is cooked. The
special point Is to achieve a broth that
g piping hot and flled with plenty OF
oysters. Tue oysters must be cooked
enough TO be shriyeled. II thickened
with eggs or hour the broth must be
smooth and creamy, not a pasty,
Iumpy, curdled fiuid.
To avoid imperfections strain the
oyster liquid TO free 1t from sand and
shell; rub together the butter and -four
used for thickening until thoroughly
kneaded and stir until smooth and
even. Care must be taken In measuring
the -four for a cream Soup. One table
spoonful to the same quantity of but
ter or one ounce Of each by weight
viii usually make a quart OF cream
soup Of the right thickness.
An excellent cream soup with oysters
b made by heating one quart Of oys-
tiers in their liquor. with enough cold
water added to make a quart Of broth.
When the boiling point is reached rub
the oysters through a sieve until fine,
pour the liquor over the pulp and set
aside where It win keep warm. Blend
two ounces Of butter with two OF
-four and stir until it bubbles briskly.
Add one quart Of hot milk gradually
and when smooth add the oysters and
liquor. Season with salt and red pep
per to taste.

1t had a plot, too, one out of which
grew any number OF Interesting sit
Iuations, interesting for the characters
that were involved In them and for
the audience which Witnessed them.
The famous painting from which the
name of the show was taken was
somewhat. in evidence both because q
couple Of imposters figuring in the
plot tried to palm themselves on as
the parties responsible for the paint
ling and because near the end OF the
show the picture was posed by Miss
Marion Evans. All the principal
parts in the piece were carried of
very ably and the cast was supported
by an uncommonly handsome chorus.
Altogether the experiment Of bringing
