A report of the Sybil Carter In l.

deaconess who introduced this work,
records that this industry has trans
formed the lives of Indian women
undertaking it. They can readily be
distinguished from the others by
their neat appearance and their
bright and hopeful faces.
A similar impression was obtained
by United States Senator, who re-
ported that he had never seen a
happier let Of women. "They not
only worked steadily" he said, "but

also to revive the oldtime arts of
beadwork and basketry, for Joy is

The association has a prominent
shop in New York, where the sales

--latest form Of taking money away

him the imitation all done up as the

Some makers Of such goods as

in very fine print in one corner that
the product is not genuine. In other

label to correct ostensibly the mis-
leading pictures or other devices.

Rice-That Is

Saffron has a curious flavor and
is not a seasoning to be used too
frequently or ever too plenteously.
Great care should be used in first
experimentation with it. "a pinch"
is so often just enough. 1t may
be used for favoring dishes sweet
or salt. The famous bouillabaisse
of Marseilles and New Orleans is
not bouillabaisse without it, and the
equally famous Baba cakes of Po-

true to form, must be favored with
saffron water.
