works OF art which these mothers had
put on exhibition at the Normal school
sprang into overwhelming popularity
with the young men and their cards
were quickly filed. In half an hour,
they had ceased to blush. Their eyes
no longer spoke apologies. They were
new women. Their initiation was
complete. They had become, in the
language Of Judge Croker, perfect
Phyllistines I"
The dancing tried to be as naughty
as that remarkable Phylllstinian pas
time at the mansion of the Bings and
succeeded well, If not handsomely.
The modern dances and dress were
now definitely established in Bing-
Vile.
Just before the holidays, the extern
sion of the ample home Of the million
aire was decorated, furnished and
ready to be shown. Mrs. Bling and
Phyllis, who had been having a fling
In New York, came home for the holi-
days. John arrived the next day from
fhe great Padelford school to be with
the family through the winter recess.
Mrs. Bling gave tea to the ladies OF
Bingville. She wanted them 20 see
the improvements and become aware
Of her good WILL She had thought Of
an evening party, but there were many
men In the village whom she didn't
care to have In her house. So It be-
came a tea.
The women talked Of leaking roofs

Sundays he made this remark:
George Meredith once wrote to his
son that he would need the help Of
religion to get safely beyond the
stormy passions Of youth. 1t Is very
trueW
The historian was reminded Of this
saying by the undertow OF the life
currents In Bingville.
The dances I'm the Normal school
and In the homes GBf the well-to-do
were limitations of the great party at
]. Patterson Bing's. The costumes Of
certain Of the young ladies were, to
quote a clause from the posters Of the
Messrs. Barnum and Bailey, still cling
ing to the billboard: "the most daring
and amazing bareback performances
ia the history Of the circus ring"
Phyllis Bling, the unrivaled metropolis
tan performer, set the pace. It was
distinctly too rapid for her followers.
If one may say 1t kindly, she was as
cold and heartless and beautiful in her
act as q piece Of bronze or Italian
marble. She was not ashamed Of her
self. She did 1t so easily and grace
fully and unconsciously and obliging-
ly, so to speak, as If her license had
never been questioned. It was not 30
with Vivian Mead and Frances Smith
and Pauline Baker. They limped and
struggled in their efforts to keep up.
To begin with, the art Of their
modiste had been fussy, initiative and
timid. 1t lacked the master touch
Their spirits were also Improperly pre-
pared for such publicity. They blushed
and looked apologies and were vislbly
uncomfortable when they entered the
dance hall.
On this point, Judge Croker deliv-
cred a famous opinion. 1t was: II feel
sorry for those girls, but their mothers
ought to be spanked"
There is evidence that this sentence
of his was carried out in due time and
in a most effectual manner. But the

CATFISH CLIMB SMOOTH WALL
Certain Species Equipped With a Pc.
euIlar Suction Apparatus That
Makes Feat Really Easy.

An interesting account Of the climb
ing catfish Of Colombia (Arges mar
moratus) was published a few years
ago by r. d. o. Johnson. These fish
can climb, by means Of suction APP
paratus, not only up the steeply-in-
clined bed of mountain torrent, but
even up smooth, vertical surface.
Mr.. johnson saw some Of them climb
a vertical distance Of 18 feet in half
an hour, up a wall Of rock over which
trickled a thin film of water.
In connection with recent publica-
ton Of this article, g. K. Noble states
that other species Of fish are known to
climb In the same manner. Several Of
these occur In the Himalaya. Nema-
chilus ruplcola, and perhaps other spe-
Giles of mountain cyprinids, adhere to
the rocks by means Of their smooth
ventral skin and enlarged lips. The
sllurid genera Pseudecheneis and
Glyptosternum cling by means Of a
well-developed abdominal sucker.
The mountain torrents Of the Hima-
Iaya form the nursery for many spe-
cIes Of frogs. Their tadpoles. like
the ash, have become adapted to their
location; some cling by means Of their
lips and ventral musculature, while
others possess a well-developed ven
trail Notwithstanding American.

surface with a tablespoonful Of brown
sugar. Lay this In the bottom Of a
large casserole or baking pan. Pare
and slice thin sufficient potatoes for
the family. Cover the ham to the
depth of two or three inches. Dot with
bits Of butter unless the ham has
plenty of fat on the edges. Sprinkle
with pepper and cover with milk as
you would prepare escalloped pota-
toes. Bake In a moderate oven for
two hours. The ham will be tender
and delicious and can be cut with a
fork; the potatoes will be seasoned
70 a turn and the family has a one
dish dinner which viii serve, II the
family is small, for two meals.
Those who have prepared them say
that dried fruits make more delicious
buffers than the fresh fruit. For ap-
Die butter take the dried apples,
washed and soaked over night In cider
or water, then cook them In the lame
LIQUID until tender. A freless cooker
is a good place to cook It In. Add
about One-third Of the bulk in sugar.
Cook as thick as desired; more sugar
may be added II liked sweeter. A de-
Iightful change is made in blending
different fiaVors such as apricots and
APPLES, using two-thirds the quantity OF
apple to one-third Of apricots.
Cottage Cheese PIo.--Melt two table
spoonfuls Of butter; in It cook two
tablespoonfuls OF cornstarch and one
half teaspoonful OF salt; add two
thirds ola cupful OF honey or sugar.
one cupfuI Of cottage cheese pressed
through a ricer, the yolks Of three
eggs beaten light, the grated rlnd OF
lemon or orange; mix thoroughly
and turn into a pastry lined plate In
The same manner as for custard pie.
Bake until firm. Beat the whites OF
three eggs light, add four tablespoon
fuls Of sugar and spread the merlngue
over the pie. Dredge with teaspoon
full OF sugar and let cool In a moder-
ate oven until the meringue is lightly
tinted. Serve the same day It is
made.

Tie old can rubbers together In the
form Of a mat to use to save the en-
amel OF the sink, when using dish
pans and drainers. These mats are
also good to use on Ice to keep dishes
from slipping.
Place small rings on the inside hem
Of the curtains In bedrooms, have
small hooks ON the side Of the case
ment; the curtains may be hung By
the rings at night, securing better
ventilation and saving the blowing OF
the curtains. These hooks and rings
will be found useful to hang up the
curtains when sweeping the room.
When bleaching Clothes as soon as
dry turn the hose on them, then let
the sun dry; the repeated wetting ana
drying will bleach cloth much sooner
than the old manner.
Baskets and mats Of sweet grass
may be restored to fragrance by a
quick dipping Of the article into boil

a paste made by using One-half pound
Of flour, one-half pound Of alum, and
three quarts of water. Mix well and

when 1t is ready to use. Force it into
cracks in floors, wainscoting or other
cracks. It hardens like papier mache
and fills permanently any cracks.

IL the ideal Of q really great man.
The village becomes money pad,
rejecting the great world In It's
state Of unrest. The Bing family
is leader In the change. To them
the village has become "provin-
cial." The butcher and baker ana
candlestick-maker all raise their
prices. Even Hiram Blenkinsop'
the town drunkard, works hard for
month. The Old Spirit OF Bing-
Vile Is summarily fred. The first
citizen builds an addition to his
mansion.
