Manners Usetul At Christmas Time
By DOLLY pALRYMPLE
N this ante Christmas season the wise person spends just little time prac-

N N this ante-Christmas season the Wlse person spends just little time prac- ticing manners"
 Manners" are useful at all seasons, but they come in particularly handy when you have to receive gracefully a gift which in your heart of hearts you don't want and consider a foolish waste of money.
 Thus the father of a large family seems moved almost to tears when he has hand ed to him a lamp for the library table. or pair of portieres for the hall, bought with his own dear, hard-earned money!
 He must affect an ecstacy which he does not feel because you see he has found the light from the chandelier en- tirely sufficient to permit him to read the evening paper by, and except when reading it he does not patronize the li- brary.
 However, if he happens to be man of tact and presence of mind he thanks the donor in what we newspaper folk call "a few well-chosen words, and smiles and smiles and is a william still.
 John Henry. who perfectly loathes smoking jackets and the other garments which artists wear, must of course re- ceive Totties gift of a scarlet coat with fancy collar with every expression of gratitude which he can rake up at moments notice.
 Even as he mentally resolves that he will give the coat to the colored janitor at the office, he remarks to Tottie that not gold nor frankincense or myrrh could have pleased him more.
 Tottie on the other hand, receiving Tennyson's poems, instead of the bangle bracelet for which she had longed, and which she confidently expected, performs the feat of gnashing her teeth even as she smiles and says:
 50 sweet of you to guess exactly what I wanted
 To gnash your teeth is an accomplish ment given to few persons successfully to perform, and Tottie, who has had no practice up to this moment, does it really very well.
 And when she exhibits the volume to her family and they seem inclined to scoff, she keeps her emotions. which are green-edged with violet, to herself and declares they are an unliterary lot.
 Take the case of Lottie:
 Lottie spends precious hours choosing for Dorothy a fan which will exactly &C., cord with that young woman's hand somest evening gown. It is an expensive fan and very Beautiful and when in re- turn Dorothy gives her a pin tray of such common china that no self-respect- ing bureau would bear it upon it's bosom,

played by Mrs. T. T. Reese, cousin of the bridegroom. The guests were confined to the relatives of the bridegroom and the close personal friends of the bride, and numbered about 50. An informal re- ception followed the marriage benedic- tion, when the company repaired to the dining room and enjoyed a social hour. The brides table was unusually artistic, the color motif in the decorations being pink and white, the same tones prevailing in the other decorations of the house. A white wedding bell sprayed with soft fernery and encrusted with white roses hung from the chandelier from which also well streamers of pink maline caught to the four corners of the table, with bows of the same
 The brides cake, embossed with real orange blossoms and baskets of white and pink confeetions completed the arrange ment. The brides book was presided over by Mrs. Robert Webb of Birmingham, the home city of the bride. Punch was served by Mrs. Freeland, daughter of the hos tess.
 The bridal gown of white crepe meteor
 trimmed with rose point lace and pearls. The veil fell from a cap edged with real orange blossoms The only jew el worn by the bride was pearl and dia- mond lavalier, gift of the bridegroom. Her arm bouquet of brides roses was CO., lonial in shape with a spray of valley lilies
 Mrs. Owen wore a blue brocaded silk trimmed with venetian point lace, her jewels were emeralds and diamonds, and she carried an arm bouquet of pink roses which were the flowers composing the bouquets of the attendants. Mrs Me- Ginley's gown was black and white chiffon over green satin. Miss Laura Fleming was gowned in dainty white net with a drape overdress of pink taffeta. Little Miss Burman was childishly pretty in white organdy with pink ribbons.
 Miss Dolly Owen came to Florida the past winter as the guest of Mrs. Arthur G. Lund of Alabama who was passing the season at Miami, and was so pleased with the land of flowers that she fingered through the summer. She is a member of one of the leading families of Ala bama, and is a young woman of delight full personality.
 Both Mrs. Lund and Mrs. Owen, who came down to Palm Beach to give her sis- ter-inlaW in marriage, are daughters of United States Senator John H. Bankhead of Alabama, and the bride is a great favorte in the family, having passed some time with Mrs. Bankhead in Wash ington.
 Mr Geer, the popular groom, is one of the leading business men of Florida and has lived in this state for several years, having come here from Illinois. He was one of the prime factors in the develop ment of beautiful Royal Park, and has his home in that residential section, set amidst a jungle of cocoanut palms and near the shore of Lake Worth

<, Made With Prunes

Made With PruneS
 You wrote some time ago in defense
 of the much abused prune as an article of
 diet. In our family we are fond of prunes and consider them paltable as well as wholesome, as, for instance, when pre- pared according to a recipe for prune cake cut from the Corner several years ago. Here it is: Rub one and one-half cups of white sugar into one and one-half tablespoons of butter; all the yolks of five eggs beaten light, two-thirds of a cup of prune juice taken from stewed prunes, one cup of chopped prunes, one teaspoon of powdered cinnamon, one-half teaspoon
 each of grated nutmeg and ground cloves, two and one-half cups of flour sifted well with one-half teaspoon of baking powder. and last of all stir in one-half teaspoon of soda dissolved in a gill of hot water Bake in layers or in a loaf. Stew the
 prunes until tender, then cool before us- ing. MRS. J. c. s." | May insert another illustration of the business of the said defense of prunes? 1 They are maligned because they are sell dom cooked properly. As nursery desert or as the final course of plain family
 dinner try this for baked prunes: Soak Turkish prunes two hours in lukewarm
 water. They should be well pumped by
 the process and soft to the touch. Drain and arrange them in pudding dish.
 Sprinkle generously with sugar and cover
 with cold water mingled with the juice | of half a lemon to a cup of water and 1 half a pound of prunes The water must I just cover the fruit. Fit close top upon | the dish and set in moderate oven. Bake | 45 minutes, uncover, and drop bits of but I ter upon the prunes. Cover again and cook five minutes longer. Serve warm with light cake. They are also good I eaten ice cold with cream or custard and cake.

Peach Stains on Linen

will you kindly tell me how to re- move peach stains from embroidered dresses, doilies. napkins, etc.?
 SUBSCRIBER"
 It should be an inflexible rule in every family, where fruit is eaten at table, that napkins and table cloths are not to be touched by fingers wet with juices of peach and pear until they have been dipped into the finger bowl. Should drop of juice fall, upon the linen it may be removed by dip- ping it at once in hot water. Old stains are more obstinate, and they should be treated before they go into the wash. Chlorinated soda is a useful detersive. Dip the stained portion of napery in it and rub gently between the fingers. Dip again and within 10 minutes rinse with cold water and lay in the sun shine. Wet hourly with Semon juice and should 8 trace of the stain remain at night soak in sour milk antil next day. Do not omit the rinsing water after using chlorinated soda or the threads of the linen may be weakened.

Biscuits on a Spider

"On baking days you will find it helpful to cook baking powder biscuits on top of the gas or coal stove on a spider. Heat the spider and flour it, then lay the biscuits on it and they will cook deliciously, first on one side then on the other. MRS. e.
 You may like to know that biscuits thus baked on both sides are convert ed into scones, otherwise tea cakes. They should be about half the thick ness of the ordinary biscuit. Turn when the bottom of the scone is done, and when both sides are of a deli- cate brown tear open neatly, butter, join the sides and serve hot in a plate lined with a heated napkin folded over the cakes. They are eaten in England as tea cakes and accompanied by marmalade for those who like sweets with afternoon tea.
