Line buttered plate with pun paste

Strawberries capped and washed. Sweeten

form of strawberry pie, as you may see. A
more elaborate formula, which we prefer
to any other is this: Line pie dish with
good pastry and fill 1t three quarters full of
strawberries strewed with granulated

the edges of this and of the lower crust
with butter to prevent their sticking to-

of sugar, remove from the fire, and when

lift of the upper crust and cover the berries
with the cream. Replace the cover and sift

Where will the fashionable womans
waist line go this fall? It's n perplexing
question The advanced fashions already
are vacilating Some show wa st lines nor
NAL. some subnormal and some abnormal.
Rumor has Il that the moyen age will win
out with its waist line lingering somewhere
around the knees and the loose, flowing out.
line characteristic of that highly interesting
period On the other hand, we hear equally
persistent whispers to the effect that when
the modes are established the Empire will
reign again, which means, OF course, that
we will wear our sashus as high as they
have ever been worn.
But the truth of the whole matter is that
we are awaiting the verdict from Paris
This is n critical time in the Paris ateliers
Especially just now, when no two styles
are alike in conception or origin. Some of
the style masters have harked back to the
paintings OF Sir Joshua Reynolds and his
ilk; others HE themselves to the oddities
OF quaint Chinese fabrics and gowns and
worship silently by imitation
Meanwhile, whatever the verdict Is TO be,
rest assured that II it is possible TO make
the French originals charming In the eyes
OF American women our designers can do
II. So we need have no fear OF where our
waist lines will be. or what the styles will
bring We're prepared.

Homme de Verdun, Dead Mans hill,
says that in ancient days this hill at
its highest point was surmounted by
a gibbet Of four posts. which by rea-

much importance. 1t is supposed that

On Wednesday, June 20, there was

pose Of establishing the we'll known
fact that all lime imported by the
