LABOR LEADERS AT WNTE HOUSE TABL!

Discuss Big Questions Wit! President at Dinner. Washington, Nov. 18.—Subjecting hi: guests, who were representatives oi many of the ieadiug labor organiza tions of this country, to a rapid crus: tire of questions, l'residentltooseveii at a dittner given by Mm at the White House endeavored to find out what iabor wants from congress and in what way he can be of assistance to the toiicrs of the country. Whiie the president did not commit himseif to any of the propositions sub mitted by the various iabor leaders present, he sought a fuii expression of sentiment from aii of them. Labor's attitude on various questions was out iined. and the president listened with interest to each argument presented. The president was not atone in his questioning, Justice Moody. Secretary Oscar S. Straus and Secretary James H. Garfield frequency asking ques tions of some of the captains of iabor. The genera) impression prevailed to day among the labor leaders that the president's message to congress wiii show resuits of the conference. The iabor leaders taiked without res ervation and reiterated their pronounc ed attitude on some issues to which congress has iu the past turned an unwtiiing ear. What seemed most significant of aii, both to the president and other gov ernment officials present, was the sug gestion that congress should pass a bili of rights into which ait iuhor ieg isiation should be incorporated and should create a publicity board whose purpose wouid be to investigate and make public the detaiis of controver sies between capital and labor. The piea for a biil of rights was made by P. H. Morrissey, grand mas ter of the raihvay trainmen, whiie the pubiicity board idea was advanced by T. J. Doian. generai secretary-treas urer of the internationa! Brotherhood of Steam Shove] and Dredge Men. Although many of the speakers voic ed their opposition to the boycott and sympathetic strike propaganda, they urged that Congress should better de fine the injunctive power of the courts, and they asked for a modification of both this law and the Sherman anti trust laws. They also wanted con gress to define the exact status of la bor organizations in strikes and wheth er they should be permitted to "so li'-'.V peacefully." The iabor hosts were represented by Terence V. i'owdetiy. ex-president of the Knights of Labor; Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; John Hannahan. grand master of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Firemen: W.

Dealings With Catholics In Philippines Only Just, He Says. St. Paui. Minn.. Kov. 18.—Inaietter to the Rev. Magnus Larson, pastor of the Swedish Baptist church in this city, Wliliam H. Taft answers criti cisms made by him during the recent campaign as to aileged undue favorit ism to the Roman Cathoiic church. He says in part: You ask me whether !7,000,000 was paid to the Catholic church out of the United States treasury on my recommendation. I repiy that it was not. The friars' agri cultural lands in the Philippines, 425,000 acres, or about that amount, were pur chased from the corporation formed by the three orders of the friars in the Phil ippines, and the money was paid from bonds issued by the Philippine govern ment under the authority of congress and is a charge upon the Philippine islands. The purchase was approved by the Fili pinos. It is not true that half of the popula tion of 3,000,000 people are not Roman Catholics. The present governor is a Ro man Catholic, but he is one of the most careful men in maintaining an impartial attitude between Catholics and Protes tants that we could possibly have. No money has been paid to the friars for libraries that they claim to have been burned, so fas as I can recollect. The sum of money paid was for rent and dam age to convents or rectories by United States soldiers. I am not a Catholic and have not been afhliated with the Catholic church. A11 1 have attempted to do was to do justice to that church and to the Filipino people. I have treated that church exactly as i would have treated any other church had it been in a similar position to that of the Catholic church. I may add with re spect to the friars' lands that the pur chase was a political one and agrarian one rather than a commercial one. OUR CATTLE BARRED.

One of the arguments in favor of the removal to the suburbs had been that the re duction in rent was vastly greater than Colton's commutation and Mrs. Colton's occasional trips to town. They had not counted on the telephone bill, which more than made up the differ ence. "What's the matter now?" he asked good humorediy. "The cook left?" "That's only part," came the answer "The cook left, and the Nelsons have just had word that his sister is dead, and they can't come." "That will help some," declared Col ton encouragingly. "There won't be so many to cook for." "But Eleanor will have to get the dinner," wailed Mrs. Colton. "That takes the three Nelsons and you and her away from the table. Don't you see that It leaves just thirteen?" "Thirteen's lucky," cheered Colton. "You should be glad that Eleanor is there to get the dinner." "But Uncle Henry is frightfully su perstitious." reminded Mrs. Colton. "It's bad enough that you can't come and that my own sister must stay away to get the dinner, and we'll have to tell him that she is out of town, but when we ask him to sit at a table with twelve others—Bob, you must send out some one. Can't that nice looking bookkeeper come?" "On his vacation—but I'll get some one. Don't worry, Vida." Colton hung the receiver on the hook, and Mrs. Colton beamed as she turned from the instrument. Bob was de pendable, and that worry was off her mind. ———-ar* It was the drat dinner party in the new hotAe, and her uncie was to be the guest of honor. It had seemed hoodooed from the start. First Colton had been compelled to remain in town to attend an important conference of the trade and could not possibly get out. Her sister. Eieanor Norris, had been called into service to replace the cook, who had left, declaring that she would see her employer and the guests sepa rately and individually condemned be fore she would cook for eighteen per sons, and then at the last moment the Nelsons had sent regrets, cutting the number at table down to the thirteen abhorrent to Uncie Henry, from whom the Coltons had "expectations." Vida had noticed that her husband's bookkeeper was an extremely good looking young fellow, and she had tel ephoned Colton to send him out. Prob ably he wouid send out the bookkeep er's relief, and Vida gave no more thought to the matter save to offer up a fervent snppiication that his table manners should be-good. The others had arrived when there was a ring at the bell, and in her anx- iety Mrs. Coiton herself rushed to the door. A tall, clean cut young man stood at the entrance, and at his in quiring "Mrs. Colton?" Vida fairly dragged him across the hall and into the dining room, where she carefully closed tne door. "I'm awfully sorry," she began. "Mr. Colton asked yon to come out becawse we wanted to avoid thirteen at the table. But it happens that a Mr. Grimsby couid not come either, and so now yon wonid make the thirteenth." "I see," he said, with a iight iangh. "Then I'M head back for town." "I couldn't iet you do that," cried Vida, with a gasp. "There is no train untU 9R7. Yon will not get to town nntli aimost 11. Yon must stay here and have some dinner. I'm sure yon wont mind eating in the laundry." "I'd rather iike it," was the geniai response. "If you wlii indicate the general direction IH head that way and let yon get back to your guests." Vida pointed to the door to the but ler's pantry. "Go through there and tell them who you are," she directed; then she hurried back to the waiting diners. Her uncle was standing by the door. "Was that another guest?" he de manded uneasily. "Just a helper that Bob sent out from town," she explained glibly, and Uncle Henry breathed a sigh of reiief. "I'm rather glad that Bob was de tained in town," he said. "It will pre vent there being thirteen at the table. I'm not superstitious, but I know of two eases where there were thirteen at the table, and each time one died before the year was out. I'm getting to be an old man, Vida, and, while I'm not superstitious about it—well, it's fust as well not to tempt fate." Vida amiicd hagryndwstMding^of the case, and as Xorah appeared in the doorway to announce that dinner was j served they all died out. Vida sustained a shock of surprise when she saw the man her husband had sent out standing ready to serve, but his face was as impassive as though he had been a butler and not a bookkeeper all his life, and it was with a little duttcr of pride that Vida realized that the local guests would suppose that they had imported a but ler from town for the occasion. The dinner passed off splendidly. The butier acquitted himself with the greatest credit, and Eleanor did her cooking schooi training full justice. Before the coffee was served Uncle Henry was whispering to his niece that he was going to make her a pres ent of the house for Christmas and at tend himseif to some details of decora tion. Vida had hoped to iead him to the subject of new rugs, and this voiun tary promise delighted her. As she ied the way back to the parior she fairty radiated delight. It was some time before she couid manage to siip away from her uncie, and she was jnst about to go to the kitchen to see how Eieanor was get ting aiong when Norah, the maid, poked her head cautlousiy between the curtains and made a signai that she Wanted to see her mistress. "I think you'd better come out in the kitchen, ma'am," she whispered. "That strange man and Miss Eieanor do be carrying on something awfui. He kissed her when he thought my back was turned, but I saw them in the sli ver tray. They've been at it ever since he came." "He is annoying Miss Eieanor?" asked Vida correctingiy. It was out ot the question that Eieanor should enjoy his attentions. 'Divii a bit she's annoyed," insisted Norah. "She iikcs it." With dignified tread Mrs. Cotton moved toward the kitchen and threw open the door. Her sister was wiping a huge piatter, and the bookkeeper had taken advantage of her piight to steal another kiss. As Vida appeared in the doorway the piatter went crashing to the door. "I'ii buy you a whoie set, Vida," cried Eieanor penitentiy. "The loss of the china is immate rial," was the austere repiy. "What does this—er—flirtation mean?" The man advanced toward her, with glowing face. "It means that I've found my iittie gir! again, Mrs. Coiton, and this time I've captured her before she couid run away, as she did from Newport." "It's Dick Hempstead," enlightened Eieanor. "Bob sent him out instead of the new bookkeeper, and I just had to say 'Yes' to atone for the cavaiier fashion in which you hustied him into the kitchen." "But he didn't tei! me"—heggf V-]^, "Ytm didMl&V&'fne'tf cifance. or per haps I gave you none. Bob toid me that Eieanor was to be the cook, and I was oniy too giad to come. I have not seen Bob since he was married, and I did not know that he had mar ried Eieanor's sister, or you wouid have seen me out here before." "And you want to get married!" ex claimed Mrs. Coiton. "What wiii Un cie Henry say?" "HeTI say 'Yes,'" deciared Hemp stead, "or at any rate he shouid. Didn't I save him from the thirteen hoodoo?" "I suppose that wiii heip some." ad mitted Vida. "Anyway, I'm giad you two are to be married, for with Eiea nor to cook and you to be butier I shan't be afraid of any more dinner parties, oniy when there are but thir teen at the tabie." "To save the day as weil as Uncie Henry," completed Hempstead. Amending a Picture. An eminent French art coilcctor once bought at the Hotel Drouot a landscape by a noted "impressionist," which he showed, with much pride in his pur chase, to an artist friend. "But I think," quoth he, "that the picture iacks animation; it wants per sonages. Now, if you wouid paint for me a man or woman on that road that runs through the middle of the land scape it wouid greatly improve the pic ture." "That is easily done," said the artist. So he carried off the painting and sent it back in a week or two with the fig ure of an oid peasant woman going to market, with her basket and her red umbreiia, introduced on the road in question, to the great satisfaction of the picture's proprietor. Meeting short iy after with the "impressionist" who had painted it, the artist remarked: "I had the audacity to alter a land scape of yours beionging to M. X., the other day. I painted an oid peasant woman waiking down the road." "Down the road? I remember no work of mine with a road in it. I shouid like to see the picture and judge of the effect of your alteration." So the artist carried him off to M. X.'s, and they speedily stood before the landscape. The "impressionist turn ed perfectiy green with wrath and hor ror. "Miserable man," he shouted, "what have you done? That is not a road that runs through the center of my work. It is a river!"—Exchange. Sympathy For the Orphans. An elephant white stamping through the jungie one day quite unintentionai iy stepped,upon a mother bird, crush ing it to death. Hearing the cries of the iittie brood in the bushes near by, she sought out the nest and with a sym pathetic sigh said: "Poor iittie things! I've been a mother myseif. I'H keep yon warm." And she then proceeded to sit upon the nest.—From George T. Lanigan*s Fabie, "The Kind Hearted She Elephant." ^thanksgiving in Georgia.

It is hardly to be supposed that on that first expression of thanksgiving in this country nor for many years foi iowing there was preparation of a menu of the feasting on the day of ceiebration. And it is quite certain that the viands enjoyed were simpiy exceiieut preparations by capahie housewives of the iist of the articies that each provider possessed. Aii peopie were producers to some extent in the eariy days, growing their crops in ileid or garden from seeds brought chiefly* from the British isies. Among such seeds were those of the pumpkiu.

Conventions! ideas in trimmings are popular, as usuai. The wing is not so much favored; but, on the other hand, the whoie bird is frequency seen. After dinner totiets are worn with a ioose beit. First American Thanksgiving. In 1821, so historians say, was heid the first American Thanksgiving cele bration. That was when, the party Of colonists having been decimated by death and menaced by innumerable periis, Governor Bradford cailed the survivors together for the expression of gratitude to God. In that festival, which has been much written of. the red mon participated, and there was feasting on wild turkeys and "fowies." Sure Either Way. "I suppose you are going to be thankfui on Thanksgiving day?" "Yes." said the man of gentie pathos. "If I have turkey and fixings I'ii be thankfui for them.

By EPES W. SARGEMT. Copyrighted. i90S. by Associated "Nancy, it's awfui to go to school." Nancy Hartman nodded a solemn as sent to the statement, for she always agreed with what Bobby Seaton said. In this Instance her own views were reflected, albeit those views were somewhat prejudiced at the moment by the fact that she had been kept In after school, and Bobby had had to sit op the curb and wait for her. He had done his best, too, to be kept in, and so share her punishment. "I'll be glad when I'm married and don't have to go to school," he con tinued solemnly. "Married people don't have to go to school." !'Mr. Scarritt did." reminded Nancy. "He was a minister." explained Bob by. as though that made a difference. "Besides he was married when he was In college. College Is different from a school." Nancy nodded wisely. She could not grasp any distinction, but since Bobby said so, there must be a difference. "School's horrid," she complained. "1 just tired one teenty little spit ball, and Miss Magnus made me stay In." "She's got to stay to correct the ex ercises," explained Hobby, "and she's frald to stay alone. That's why she always makes some one stay in." 'Tain't fair," Insisted Nancy, "and we were going after nuts toe." "I tell you what," exclaimed Bobby. "Let's get married, and then she can't make us go to school." "Bight now?" demanded Nancy, with a glance at her soiled dress. "That little Ink stain don't matter," assured Bobby. "We'll go to Mr. Scar ritt. He got married when he was In school, so he'll understand." "But he went to school after he got married," reminded Nancy. "That's because he wanted to." ex plained Bobby. "If he didn't want to go he didn't have to. We won't want to go." He started to his feet, and Nancy obediently followed. Had Bobby pro posed a stroll to the north pole she would have followed with the same content, for was not Bobby wise with the wisdom of fuil eight years, while she boasted a scant six? It was a'short walk to the minister's home, and presently Bobby, brave but a trifle weak In the knees and with a higher color on his face, was explain ing to the minister his desire to wed. The Rev. Scarritt, grave and studi ous, was shocked at the suggestion and with gentle reproof at their sacri lege turned them from his study. The Beproof was lost on a determined mind, and when the tlbor had dosed* Bobby shook his tiny fist in the air. "Just 'cause he's married he don't care 'bout no one else," he said vin dictively. "He's not the only marrier In town. Huh!" There was a world of scorn In the exclamation, and Rpbby's wrath was hot. He had not understood what the minister was saying, but he had gath ered that he was being scolded for even thinking of marriage, and this under the very eyes of his beloved. There were three other ministers in town, but none of them was at homo, and Bobby turned toward "the tired Nancy. "It's no use." he said, with a tighten ing of the quivering lip. "We've got to go to Riverside." Nancy blinked back the tears and put her hand In his. "It's dreadful hard getting married," she said. "Do all people have trouble like this?" "When they elope," explained Bobby calmly. "You don't have time to fix It with the minister." "I don't think that 'loplng's much fun," ventured Nancy, but Bobby's look silenced her. Together they trudged along in silence until the houses were passed and the road to Riverside lay bare and lonely before them. The shadows were closing in, and there were clumps of trees that made patches of dark, just the sort that bears love to hide in. For the benefit of his lady Bobby kept up a brave front, but his clasp on the tired, dirty little hand that lay within his own tightened when the dark places came, and the sturdy lit tle legs were urged to greater speed until the danger point was passed. The dark was closing in now, and Nancy's plump little legs were not as strong as Bobby's, and, though she bravely sought to hold the pace, she lagged behind. At last, in spite of her fortitude, she had to give in and sank with a littie sob on the grass beside the roadway. "I just can't go any more, Bobby," she wailed. '.'It seems like we 'most walked round the earth." "It's only a little way now," urged Bobby, "an' maybe the minister wili ask us to stay for supper." The mention of food was the last straw. Fatigue had prevented the thought of hunger, but now Nancy knew that she was famished. A sehooi iunch is not caiculated to iast untii 7 o'clock, and Nancy remem bered that there was to be jeiiy cake for supper. At the sound of the sobs that shook her tiny frame Bobby kneit beside her and sought to check the Cow of tears, but not untii she had cried her seif to sieep on Bobby's shouider did silence come. Bobby himseif felt very much iike I crying, bat that wouid never do, and he heid back the tears while he stared I bravely into the dark, his arm protect ingiy about the sleeping Nancy. It seemed to him ages passed as he Bat there in the siience and thei^Kt. No wagons came along, though an automobile shot past at a sy*ed that rendered his cry unavailing. The passing of the car oniy served to make the ioneiiness the more p'ro nounced, and when two more gr^at yeiiow eyes shone far down the road Bobby gentiy lowered the goiden head from his shouider to the grassy bank and sprang to his feet. Perhapsrif he waved his arms they wouid sed and stop. Nearer and nearer came the lights, and he stood directly in the yeiiow patch the iamps made in the white dust of the road. To his great reilef the car slowed down, and from be hind the curtain of light that haif Minded the tired eyes came the wel come sound of a famiitar voice. Bobby sprang forward to throw himself into the strong arms of his big brother. "You're a line pair of runaways," cried Howard. "We have been search ing the roads for neariy two hours." "is Nancy with you?" demanded an anxious voice from the car, and Bobby knew that Nancy's sister was there too. She gave a iittie cry when Howard brought the giri to her and covered the tear stained face with kisses. Howard made up a bed in the tonneau for the chiidren and ran on to where the road permitted a turn toward home. Bobby was not sleepy now, and he stood leaning over the back of the front seat watching the car eat up the road. "We was eloping loveiy," he said piaintiveiy, "until Nancy got tired. Now I s'pose this spoils it aii." "I guess it does, oid man," was the iaughing comment. "Suppose that you give me your proxy." "What's proxy?" demanded Bobby curiously. "It's this way," explained Howard as he let the car slow down. "If you want to do something, but don't have time or for some other reason you can't, you appoint a proxy to act for you. I appreciate highly your endeavors to unite the Hartman and Seaton fam ilies, but, since your scholastic duties prevent the consummation of your laudabie intentions, I propose that you constitute me your proxy in the prem ises. I might add that in consideration of this demonstration of your conS dence in my integrity I am prepared to reciprocate with the donation of one bright silver haif doilar in the coin of the reaim." Bobby regarded his brother suspi ciously. He never could teli just what Howard was up to when he used the big words, but the proffer of a haif doiiar was a business proposition, and he stretched out his hand. The exchange was made and How ard turned to the giri. "Etta," he said gently, "it would be a shame to frustrate the plans of these two innocents. Don't you think, dear, that you might act for Nancy and make this marriage, hyu; sured Act?" For a moment the giri hesitated, then she haif turned in the seat. "It would be a shame—to spoil their plans," she said gently. "I think—I should like—to act as Nancy's proxy, dear." A Naturai Resuit. WiHowby had a good shoemaker, Hiram Pooi by came. Nobody knew the trade of making, mending and tapping, resoiing and patching shoes better than he. His conversation took on ioca! coior from his shop, no matter what the subject might be. One even ing an astronomer, sojourning in Wil iowby, gave a "taik" at the town haii, and Hiram went to hear him. "What did you make of ati he said about the cause o' wet weather when he'd spoken so tight of the moon hav ing aii to do with it?" somebody asked Hiram the next day. Mr. Pooi held up the boot he was mending and squinted at the soie of it. "His taik needed waxing," said the shoemaker dryiy when his inspection of the boot was finished. "But what I made out of it was that he considered the wet weather usu'iiy comes when the ciouds are so oid and rotten they won't hoid the patches."—Youth's Com panion. Encouraged to Hope. When the Empress Frederick, eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, was a iit tie giri, her disposition, to the great grief of the queen, was haughty and arrogant. Once, when about to embark on the royai yacht Victoria and Aibert, she was lifted across to the deck of the boat by one of the saiShrs, who, as he was putting her down gentiy, said, "There you are, my iittle iady." "I am not a 'Httie lady;' I am a princess!" was the prompt and indig nant reply. The queen, who had over heard the conversation, detained the man with a gesture and, turning to her spotted iittie daughter, said: "Teii the kind saiior that you are much indebted to him for his civility and that, although you are not a Tittle lady' yet, you confidently hope to merit the titie before long." An Air With Rea) Air. During one of the poiiticai tours of Mr. Cieveiand, in which he was accom panied by Secretary Oiney, he arrived during a severe storm at a town in which he was to speak. As he en tered the carriage with his friends and was driven from the station the rain changed to hnii, and immense stones battered and rattied against the ve hicie. A brass band, rathe* demoraliz ed by the storm, stuck braveiy to its post and piayed. "That is the most reaiistic music I have ever heard," remarked the presi dent. "What are they piaying?" asked the secretary of state. 'Haii to the Chief.' with reai haiit" rejoined Mr. Ciaveiand. SHORT SERMON FORA SUNDAY HALF-HOUR By Rev. Earnest A. EdghilL There Is a Lad Here. "There Is a lad here, which hath hve barley-loaves and two small fishes bnt what are they among so many 7"—John vi., 9. Every miracle of our Lord Jesus Christ is a parabie. His wondrous works is aiso a wondrous iesson, a wondrous revelation of iove and pow. er. And of aii the wonderful works that he did, none is more rich in spirituai teaching than this feeding of the Qve thousand. The Lord Him seif took it as a* text for his great sermon on the Bread of Heaven, wherein He showed that He couid strengthen and refresh our souis by His Body and Biood, no iess than that through His power He couid supply our physicai necessities and wants. Aione of ai! the miracles, it is recorded that by aii four Evange iists who feit, as men who had been prominent in that crowning exhibi tion of iove and power, the depth, the majesty, the awe of its teaching. Here it stands recorded in the centre of our Lord's ministry as the unique reveiation of His sacred character, of His relation to mankind, of the means by which that relation is to be realized. The disciples are the Church; the muititude is mankind, for whom Christ died. The Church must not live for herself. Christ is not the private possession of a select com munity, but the common inheritance of mankind. Woe to the Church that will not interest herself in the work of evan gelizing the worid, or wiii not bestir herseif about sociai problems. Such things do no doubt make a real de mand upon her energy, her time, her thought. But she cannot refuse the responsibiiity of deaitng with such matters. Give ye them to eat, sayB the Cord. The Church must not, cannot, ignore the existence of the many problems which press for so lution; nor can she be Ignorant of her own duty in the matter. At Hrst she merely tries to shift responsibility of these great ques t'onfffrSS her sTMmasrs to &KH&5f her Lord. Is there no other method? Has the Church no other plan? A last thought occurs: "There is a lad here!" His loaves are not even of wheat, merely of coarse bar ley; his Hshes ludicrously small; It Is a counsel of despair; of course, no good Is to be looked for In that quar ter, but still there he is. "Make the men sit dowq, says Christ. In the discovery of that lad you have the so lution of the problem. The dis ciples were utterly powerless to bring Christ's blessing to that hungry mul titude, until they had realised that there was a common lad there with nve barley loaves and two small ash es. And to us, the disciples of these latter days, the message Is no less clear. It comes as a warning and an encouragement. What is our attitude to the boys and the girls of the Churches? As year by year fresh members are add ed to the Church or are promoted, as It were, to the full privileges of Chris tian citizenship, they are brought prominently to our notice—for a sea son. A Conarmation is announced; a day of hrst communion is appointed. But do we ever pray that they may continue to be earnest and loyal com* municants? Do we ever encourage by a single word, by a smile of rec ognition those whom we and still regular at God's board? Do we ever attempt to show our active sympathy with them by making an effort to at tend those services to whch they are specially invited? Christ who took that poor iad's scanty store, says to us: There is a iad here. There is, there is; it is for you to see that his gifts, his powers, his desires, are so used, deveioped and sanctified that Christ may take them and biess them, and give them to the Church, and the Church dis tribute to the great multitude of hun gry souis that iook to Him for sup port and strength. And to our dear lads and giris whose sinfui bodies have been cleansed by His Body, whose souis have been washed by His most precious Biood—what a world of comfort and encouragement does this message bring! Christ needs you. He wants you. "But what can I bring? What have I got which can be of use?" Olve what thou hast, give it to Him who takes the desire for the deed. Dont de spair because you have not mwah te offer. Adding to One's- Stature. One of the greatest giants iWuihe wosdd fa a good mew fail Had: Chest.

"WW VHY, mother, if tomorrow ain't Thanksgivin'!" said Jacob Bennett, broaching the subject an if it had just occurred to him, titough one might have known tty the troubied expression of his kindiy face that it had been for gome time under siient consideration. He was putting the finishing touches of keenness with a whetstone to an ax (that he heid on his knee. Looking at Jacob with indifferent in terest was a boy of fourteen years, who sat curved to a restfui attitude with his feet on the round of theiow, epiint bottomed chair, his eibows on his knees, his chin in his hand, thank fui that the labor of turning the grind stone was accompiished. At one of the two windows which Mghted the room,stoopingaiittie, with her hands on its tedge, stood the mid die aged woman whom Jacob addressed. "Why, so tis Thanksgivin', father!" Bhe exciaimed, iter tone dissembiing surprise more artfuliy than her face, which she did not yet venture to turn to him, for she knew that there were tears on her cheeks. Since she and Jacob were married aii their Thanksgivings had been spent in the hottteiy comfort of the "oid piace," as they aiways caiied their !ate home on the hundred acre farm. Aimost a year ago they were forced to give it up because Jacob had sign ed the notes of a specuiating friend. House, farm and stock went to pay another man's debts, and Jacob was ieft penniiess on the verge of oid age, with a wife as oid as he, an invaii-1 da nghferattdason sea rceiy oid enough toearnhisownitving. it did nut consoie him to remember Hentiy's as surance as the speculator set forth with unabated faith in quest of fresh Beids. "Never you fear, Jacob, oi' matt, i'ii Bx things ult right yet," Bentiy had said. Jacob bore bis changed fortune pa tientiy and set tiimscif to cant what -te oouhi by day iabor for the support of his famiiy. He was fatiiifuiiy aid ed by his wife and their tnvniid daughter, who was cunning with her needle. More than by aught cise he was cheered by the brave spirit with which his wife boro their misfortune, never offering him the void consoia tion of "i toid you so." She covertly wiped her cheeks with the corner of her apron and turned from the w indow. "Yes. it snrtniniy is, an' i hain't got anything ready for't, oniy some pump kin pies." "Waai," said Jacob, "pumpkin pies is jest the tiling for Thanksgivin'." "Of course they he. but they kinder want somethin' to heip 'em out. scorn's though. An' we hain't got a thing per vided, oniy pork am'potatoes." "An' onions." Jacob suggested. "Why," said the daughter, iifting her paie, patient face, iighted with a smiie, from her sewing, "with pork fried as mother fries it. an' such potatoes a* we've got. an' onions an' pumpkin pies. I don't know what better anybody need ask for. I'm sure we can be thankfui With it an' for it." "Yon're aiways thankfui." said her mother, "Thankfui by name an' thank fui by nature. We named you we)i." "Why can't we have a turkey, same's we used to?" asked the boy without changing bis position or diverting his gaze from bis father's occupation. "Turkeys costs money." said his fa ther. "when you don't raise 'em." "An* tiiat we hain't done." said the mother, "net yet a chicken, w hich I'm giad we hain't, for they'd scratch up the huii garden, it bein' so ciose to the house.

"An' that's cottsid'abie compared to what acme's not," Jacob mjd. "We've got a good ruff over our heads, an' me an' bub's earuiu' money 'nough to pay the rent on't for six months to c.ome.

"An* best of alt is we've got one 'nother." said his wife, t "That's so, Mahai.v." he said fer vently. "Waai. my iittie faii chicken," addressing the boy as he arose and !aid the whetstone on the crowded mantelpiece, "if mother's got our din ner pnt up we'd be off." The tin dinner pad was ready at hand, and, shouideriug their axes, the father and sou trudged across the Beids. making a new brown path through the sprinkled whiteness.

"So we have, dear heart, an' whilst we have we can't iw thankful enough.

"Miller, down to the Hoiler, says he c'n seil all I c'n knit for a month, an' three pair a week ain't no great stint." The bracing air, tempered by un ciouded sunlight, stirred the blood of the man and bpy aitke with beaithfui vigor as they trudged across the Helds and entered the woods. Every brown, outstretched twig, every tiny, ciose wrapped hud, had its coping and cap of pear! gieaming in sunlight or biue in shadow, and the ranks of corded wood were roofed with it. The new covering was aiready mark ed with the tracks of scampering squir rels. Me broad pads of hares, the pronged print of the partridge's devi ous course, the dainty seam of wood mouse paths. Birds gave audibie proof that they were astir and alert now. A party of jays screamed in discordant unison, chickadees and nuthatches caiied and piped, a woodpecker hammered indus i triously for his hard earned breakfast. a partridge went booming away like a gray rocket with a trail of snow cloud sinking softly and silently itehind his noisy course, and a red squirrel jeered at the two intruders. The boy's ears and eyes were aiert for all sounds and sights. Before he delivered the first ax stroke upon tlie belief a great basswood Ids attention was attracted by a strange track that ended at its foot. "Oh, father." he cried, "what kind of a track's titis? ltiooksjustiikea ittticboy'sbarcfoot." "Why, ikey. it's a coot), an' he's iaid up for the winter in this here tree. See, it's hotter.

Look out sharp at the hoie when the tree comes down, for like's not he'il cutan'run. We'iifaii it right in here where it's aii clear." So saying, he drove his ax to the eye in the soft wood, white Isaac with right good wiii deiiyered his iess ef fectire strokes on the otiter side. When Jacoit had driven his kerf a iit tie beyond the decayed center and [laved the ground about ititn with broad chips aiinost as white as the snow ite heaved a restfu) sigh and wont around to tite other.side. "Now. ikey. you just staii' off out there an' keep your eye on the hoie the minute tite tree fails, an' if tie offers to come out 'fore i git there Whack him on the head." Jacob spat upon his hands and re sumed his chopping, expirating with eachbiowagaspiug"hah"tttatseeuied )n douhte its force, and isuuc took his post With eyes fixed on the trunk where the first branches stretched abroad.

A surer j Mow from the more deiiberate hand of I Jacob prevented his escape. With a shout of triumph at the un expected sight, isaac iifted the iimp form by the hind ieg and heaved it across the fatten trunk. "Rakes aitve, father, he's as heavy as a pig. You just heft him." "Weii. he is a good one—fifteen pounds or upwarti," said Jacob after careful and deiiberate hand weighing. just feel o' the fur—as thick as v ol! i reckon his peit '!1 fetch half a dollar, an' yon shall have It all.

"Some folks does eat 'em an' aliows they're as good as roast pig." "Say, father, why can't we have it for Thanksglvin'?" "Sho, huh, your mother v.ouldn't touch it.

"It iooks Just as good as a pig. an' don't see why it ain't," persisted f: aac. with wistful eyes upon Hie game. I Then, inspired by a naughty thought, I he said, "Say. father, why can't we teil mother it is a pig?" "Sho. hub: that 'ouid he iyin'." said his father in mild reproof as he cut off the feet and long, bony tat). "Hut." he said at last, smiling (piixxicaiiv on the hoy, "I don't know as we re obliged to tei! a body exactly what it is. We'ii carry it home an' see. Now we'ii go down to the brook an' wash our hands, an' then we'ii go to work." As Isaac dabbled in the cienr coid water his wandering glances caught the gleam of scarlet far up the brook, and be presently returned, froth a tour of investigation with Severn) clusters of bright red ferries. _ j "f'ramh'ries!" tie exclaimed. ^AntT there's snags of 'em!" "Good!" said his father. "They make just as good sass as low bush cram b'ries. only seedier. We'ii carry home some on 'em, an' they'il go prime with th* month, Mahaly Mebbe they want ed ML-e skin and mebbe that's their way o' -tamin' 'em. Just took at the cram b'riAs bub's fetched. He found 'em in t^e woods, an' ain't they nice ones? White the attention of the mother and daughter was diverted to the birch bark basket of berries, he, With some quatms of conscience, bore his prize to the cetiar. As the next forenoon advanced the iittie kitchen was Sited with a savory odor of baking meat and boiting on ions that, whenever the door waB open ed, escaped abroad in appetizing whiffs that made Isaac's mouth water. The oid ctock never before ticked oH the seconds as dettberatety and its hands never tagged atong their circular path so stowty as on this day. But at iast the hour hand arrived at the fig ure 2, the minute hand again reached 12, the long, purring note of prepara tion sounded. As the second hour was struck the tittle famity gathered around the bountiful board and waited with bowed heads while the father devout-) iy thanked the Giver of all blessings. "Now, mother, what part of the—ah —critter will you try?" Jacob asked as he skillfulty carved the inviting roast. "A leetle of the brownest, ptease, Ja cob, an' not but a mite. I've been over it so much I don't seem to hanker after it." No one but Jacob nottcea tnat sne tasted it cautiousiy and experimental-: iy. His fears were soon reiieved by seeing that her appetite grew with what it fed upon and were quite dls peiied when she permitted him to heip her again. When the dessert of pumpkin pie was being served Jacob beamed a com piacent smite upon his family and said: "Now at we've eat our Thanksgiv in' meat I'm goin' to make boid to ask yon one an ail if it wa n t good?" With one voice they assented. "An' now. not to be desaitfui, I'm a-goin' to teii you what you've been eatin' of." "You needn't tel! me, Jacob." said his wife, shaking with laughter, "it was coon!" "How on airth did you know, Ma haiy?" "Why, I s'mised at first you was} a-fooiin', an' when I see a great iong biack and white hair into the meat I knew it wa'n't no pig that it ever growed on. an' when I come to find the ring taiied skin under a barrel in the wood shed it was at! plain." "An' you went right on an' cooked it an' eat of it just to ptease me an' the children? Waai, I say for it, Mah-iy Bennett, you be a good woman!"

Overnight the street comer had bios sotned out with unpainted pine chest nut stands, topped by the roaster, which sent out the fragrance of the meaiy nuts. A crisp tang tn the air sent the end iess procession of workers aiong at a smarter pace. Only an occasions] dere iict sauntered aiong at a -laggard's gait. Overhead a thin haze veiled the sky, changing the blue of the cloud less firmament to a softer tint, and through this a yellow sun burned duily. i'aul Westford as he hurried toward the oH3ce sniffed the odor of the roast ing chestnuts and smiied reminiscent iy. Of course chestnuts roasted in a pan over a charcoal fire could not be as good as when they were gathered in the wood and roasted in a Bre shove!. !t took two to roast chestnuts prop erty, two in a cozy par!or, with an open Ore for the oniy illustration. He knew ai! about roasting chest nuts. It was white they were roasting chestnuts that Caroi Ryder had prom ised to be his wife. Ever since that night the perfume the chestnut stands had reminded him of the girl he had loved and lost. The course of true love had run with its customry irreguiarity, so it befell that during one of their misunderstand ings John Ryder, Carol's father, had fallen upon evii times. His invest ments were threatened for lack of ready money. Another man had come to Ryder's aid and had claimed Carol as his reward. The girl hud married him in the mis taken belief that she owed it to her father to obey his wishes, and when Paul sought reconciliation he had found that it was too late. He had come to the city that he might not be reminded daily of his loss and had prospered greatly. He had found engrossment if not forget fulness in business. Yet always the smell of roasting chestnuts brought back to him that night in the Ryder parlor, and he could I feet again that thrill of joy when he heard the whispered "Yes." Today it came back to him more strongiy than ever, and on the pages of the tetters he opened he could see the picture of the woods about Carris ville, rioting with coior under the au tumn sun. He had never gone back to the town Tsfnm bis fitst departurer-He-had sever wanted to see the place. But today he heard the country call him, and.the cal) was not to be denied. He arrang ed with his chief clerk to look after affairs for a few days, and that night he left on the sleeper for Carrisville. He found the town was sadly changed. Paul arrived in the early hours, when few were stirring, and as a sleepy hackman drove a sleepier horse through the silent street Paul j felt a lump rise in his throat as when one greets an old friend and finds him that friend no longer, but even more foreign than an actual stranger. The old brick schoolhouse had grown into a stone structure several stories in height. There was a new Methodist church, and many of the oid houses had been repiaeed by more imposing structures, white in the business sec tion the store fronts had been aitered to present a metropoiitan aspect. It was not nntii after iunch and Panl had started out into the country that he began to fee! at home. He had looked up none of his old friends, fear- ing to tied them as sadly changed as the_vtl)age Itself. There was a trolley now to take him to the outskirts of the town, but he dropped off when the canal bridge i came in sight and the troliey turned j on the road to the river. The bridge was not changed. It was the same low. white structure from which he had dropped many a time to the deck of some passing canai boat to ride down to the lock and beg i a ride back. Beyond the bridge, too, the road looked the same. The trend of prog- Teas had been along the line of the i troiiey, and on this side of the' canai the farmhouses were unchanged. They had not even mended the break in the fence where he formerly slipped through for the short cut to the marsh. Here the largest frogs were always to be caught, and Paul was tempted to push through just to see if he still was slender enough. It was a sharp climb up the hiii. and Paui was glad to pause and rest for a moment when he gained the crest. Be low. the canal wourd its way between grassy banks, the towpath. dotted with toiling mules, showing white against i the green. Farther yet the river Bowed piacidly j on to the churning foam of the rapids below, and between iay the level acres now yeliow wit it stubbie. In the vai- j ley. the autumn tints were not yet pro- j nounced, but at his hack, on the heights, the woods were giorious with j red and ;p)id. Paul started out at a brisk pace for the chestnut grove where the nuts were always biggest and best. On the Saturday holiday the woods wouid be dotted with the uutptckers. but today he had the piace to himseif. He was on familiar ground now, and he head ed straight for the grove. There were few nuts on *the ground, but Paui was not content with these, and. slipping off his coat and vest, he swung up into the biggest tree to shake some down. He felt m odd sense of elation as he

found that he could climb ns weM as ever, in spite of city !ife and eievatora, and he determined to ctimb to the very top of the tree, it was from this same tree that he had had many a faii in his knickerbocker days, and he wanted to show his mastery of his oid enemy. The pride that goeth before a faii was his, and the inevttabie tumble came. He was neariy back to the bot tom iimb when, with a^i ominous crackle, one of the yeiiow branches by which i)e was steadying himseif gave way, he iost his balance and feii heav iiy to the ground. For a moment he lay, h:A* stunned, then a burning pain in hisVnkie rous ed him. Dragging himseif to a sitting posture, he cut the iaces of the boot and with his handkerchief bound the sprained ankie as tightiy ns he could. Then, by siow degrees, he made his way to his coat and slipped it on to prevent a cold. Hoiding to the trunk of the tree he sought to rise, but be sank to the ground again and rested for a moment untii the sharp pain ceased. There was no stick in sight that couid be used as a cane, and without such an aid there was srnnii chance of being abie to make his way to the edge of the wood, where he might be abie to attract the attention of some pedes trian, on the road beiow. Yet he would crawi on his hands Ad knees rather than pass the night in the open. He was still considering the situa tion when he spied a Cash of brown and scarlet between the trees, and a girl came slowiy toward him. As she came more cleariy into view Pan! gasped ana ruDOea nts eyes. Coming toward him was Caro! Ry der, not as he expected to find her with the weight of added years, bnt as young and girlish as on that day when they two had gathered chestnuts and taken them home to roast. It seemed that it must be some vi sion, for he had seen a !ate picture of Caro!, and the girtishness had gtven piace to a matronly dignity that sat oddly on her young face. This was the gir! of the oiden day—his Caro!— and as she approached he struggied to rise and feti. She came hurrying to ward him. "You have hurt your ankle," she asked in a voice that surely must be Carol's. "I will try and Snd a stick for you to use as a cane. Don't try to rise until I bring you one." She hurried away and presently re appeared with a stout branch. "You will have to trim it down a lit tle with your knife," she explained. "It was the best I could find. Is it Paul Westford?" she added as, for the Brst time, she studied his face. "It's Taul Westford," he assented, "but you cannot be Carol!" "I'm her sister Edith," she explain ed with a light laugh. "I was just at the awkward age when you left and, anyhow;- -you dtetw-had.- one but Carol." tv "You look very like her," he said quietly as he rose by aid of the cane. "So every one tells me," was the girl's careless comment. "You had bet ter take my arm too. It will be safer. Do you think you can manage it?" "Easily," he agreed as he accepted her suggestion and rested his free hand lightly upon her arm. Slowly they made their way to the clearing, and not until they left the woods behind did Edith stop with a little cry of dismay. "You never got the nuts." she cried, "and you came all the way from town to get them!" "I came in search of old memories," said Paul softly as he looked down into the eager face upturned to his. "I thought they were dead memories, and I tlmt that they still live." The color Hooded the girl's face as she turned It aside, but not till eyes had spoken to eyes, and Paul knew that he had found his mate. One Thing Was Certain. When Carol was nearly four years old her parents had occasion to move into another part of town, and one morning when a strange littie girl wandered into the yard Carol, who is an only child, was delighted with the idea of a playfellow. "Good morning, little girl," she caiied out brightly. "Did you tome to play wiv me?" The little girl, who was older and larger than Carol, stared and was dumb. "What's your name, little girl?" Carol proceeded. No answer. "Are you Cve?" Still no answer. "Are you six?" The child Hdgeted and grinned, but remained silent, with her finger in her mouth. Carol surveyed her calmly a moment and then remarked emphatically, "Well, I don't know your name and I don't know how old you are, but I do know you aren't very smart for your age!"— Delineator. His Lost Opportunities. "Of at! the masterpieces of art and nature there is just one that my in Rrmity prevents my studying eriticai iy," said the shortsighted man. "I never get a reaiiy satisfactory took at a pretty woman. When my attention is directed to an especiaiiy fine picture, a piece of statuary, a fine buiiding or a beautifui iandscape I am at iiberty to come as near as 1 iike, adjust the strongest magnifying giasses I can get hoid of and study that object of art to my heart's content. But when some body says, 'By George, there's a hand some woman,' I am denied Aat priv iiege.

THE GRACEFUL ART OF BEING APPREOAUVE [O one attribute in man or woman wit! go So far tn making ^—5 for socia) success as the art Of being appreciative. And this does not mean battery nor gushing ways, but Just, a't heart, truly appreciating cour tesies however srnai i, and knowing just how to express that appreciairion. The wofid over, men and women, iove to be appreciated, to have their good points noted, their favors or Kindnesses received with thanks. hot accepted as a matter of cohrse. and their hospitai ity enjoyed, in the great soofai game there are many pergof s. alas, both young and old.

The rich giri knows she odh repay social courtesies. And offfmed the homely giri of smai! purse is go busy trying to keep up appearances that she faiis to remember that graceful apprecia tion Wiii cover a multitude of physical detects or the fact that her frocks are not suite Up to date. 1 do iove to entertain Grace B— remarKsd the mistress of a charming country residence." She always be haves as if she Wopld rather spend a week-end with me than With the King of England, and her bread and butter notes are deticious. I always read them aioud—my husband is sure to get a iaugh out of them." And Grace B— is simpiy the appre ciative giri. Good form, etiquette, or wnatever you choose to label the hard and fast rules which govern our social life, is founded upon common-sense and kind liness. The instant you are foolish or unkind, otherwise ungracious, you are bound to break some rule of ettghette. To lack appreciation and the proper method of expressing it, is .a breach of good form because it is both unkind and ungracious. For ins^kncA a western Woman made a flying trip to visit eastern relatives. Her headquarters were with her fa vorite Sister, and she sent announce ments of her arrival to other blood connections. A relative by marriage received one of these d*MT*ed notes and sent in reply a most grkcious offer of hospitality. "We want you to stay with ns as long as convenient." she wrote.- "#e have enlarged the house and there Is a lovely guest room awaiting you. overlooking the Avenue. Let me know your arrangements as soon as possible so we can adjust our engagement cal endars to give you the best possible time Tou must be Sute to see Mr. Drew in his new play, etc." After waiting severai days, the would-be hostess received the follow ing curt note from the reiative Who had certainty courted an invitattdh:— "I and I shall go home sooner than originally planned. I will he ever Friday afternoon to call. Have the children at home—I want to see them." Not one word of appreciation for the Invitation extended, not one word of regret that it eouid not be accepted, not one thought that perhaps both fnother and daughters might have ao cia) engagements for the afternoon se lected by the seif-centered tourist. Of cburse, you say. she was hurried, true—but there may come a day when she wifi not be in a hurry, when she wiii want to stay a week or more with the same relatives whose courtesy she treated so cavaiieriy this time. And then what? Do you imagine that an other invitatioh, exuding welcome, wiii be forthcoming? Another woman who teaches in one of the country's greatest colleges for women found that she eouid secure leave of absence to enjoy part of the opera season in New York. She Wrote to friends in that city With whom she had not communicated for years, and received in response a gracious invita tion to become their guest. She made her stay one long orgy of opera. She made no effort to adjust herself to the family or social !ife of her hostess. She talked music, read music, and lived music every moment while she was in the home, and then daShed back to her coiiege Work. About two mohths iater she sent a hasty scrawl to her hostess, apologizing for her tardiness in an nouncing her safe return, "but you know how busy I am," she concluded. A few months iater, her hostess wished a iittie commission executed in the coiiege town, stmpiy a iittie inves tigation that might have occupied af teen or twenty minutes of her erst while guest's time. Six weeks after she wrote her a note, asking the favor, she received a postai card:—"Sorry I eouid not look after that iittie matter for you, but 1 had an attack of the grip." Do you imagine tnat tne teacner wm enjoy the hospitality of thie woman's home when she wants another season of grand opera? A charming young couple, noted for their gracious hospitality to young men and women, sent out cards an nouncing thp birth of their Hfst-torn. A few weeks inter 1 calied on the proud young mother, and among other matter discussed wdre the dainty cards they had sent out. She Sgld:— "I never Knew What a test of cour tesy announcement cards couid he. I was a matted at the number 'of our oid friends, who never sent us a word of congratulation or the least acknowl edgment of our cards. "We did not expect gifts for Babby Kins, but we did eipect that girls and men who had sat around out table would at least Sit up and take notice that our baby had come to town." I can see cute made In her calling and entertaining list, can't you? And she is not vindictive either What Is the use of entertaining men and women Who care nothing for you? the World holds plenty of appreciative people. Don't forget that part when you fee! too tired to write a bread-and-butter note, or pay a dinner cal! or drop a few lines of congratulation or condo lence. Remember that the people who will remember you are the ones whd know you Will be Interested In them and their affalrb. FETCHtNG FURS FOR FA!R FACES 0 URS ana the woman" might be a better titie for this article on flie wise selection of cold defying accessories for women, be cauee so few women choose furs with discretion and good taste, the design of the garment must fit the height and weight of the woman, the coior must harmonise with her compiexioh. hair and eyes, an dthe texture of the fur, the length of hair, must soften tines and angles, hot emphasise physical de fects. To begin with, he matter what Dame Fashion's dictates, beat in mind that your face as framed by the furs, and your figure as draped by them, are more important than any other aspect of fur-wearing.

The fussy fur and iace muffs and neck pieces which enjoyed such a vogue iast season seem to have dis appeared, and with them, tot us hope, the custom of fastening ariificiai vio lets or Amertcdn beauty roses to muffs. For outlining dressy muffs and neck pieces, there is a <!ne edging of match ing satin, pieateA or quiiied. and for Some of the re-modeied coats in Di rectoire, Empire or other fussy designs, embroidered bandings of very rich col orings and much gold are used, also very ornate buttons. These coa's are for the women who can have many fur garments not the one who wtii choose a Singie warm coat or two fur sets at the most. One fancy Set noted in an exctusive shop was a combination of ermine fur and sthoke-coiored maribout in alter nate strips, a very dress muff and stole, but the plainer designs, especiaity in neck pieces and muffs, seem to prevail. A feature of the season is the gen eral use of heads, taiis and paws. Very tew absoiutety plain muifs or stoles are shown.

Fancy Sloth dresses are made with no drop skirt In them, but the waist lining Should be eXtrStnely long, many of them reaching almost to the knees Almost all linings this season are of satin or dome satin finish material.

Sleeves for all gowns are made of thin material, except in heavy cioth dressee. They must be ehirred or tucked, but i!t the arm very snugly— like the o!H coat sleeve. In broadcloth they are made of the same material, the underarm piece ptatn, and the top piece shirred just a littie. Collars have no points on them. They are quite high, however, finished with a stiff net pleating—net eoft chiffon. high. Therq is very iittie outside stitching on gowns this season. Even the heavy broadcioths are hemmed by hand. Neariy ait gowns have a touch of Mack on them—a Mack outiine to the trimmings—a few buttons—a dash here or there. AH imported gowns have a touch of it. Buttons are much used.

If directions are followed closely and common sense used In targe doses, the results will generally be satisfactory, but If in gredients are thrown together care lessly without any regard to assimila tion, the results are disastrous. There Is undoubtedly a knack In working out formulas at home, just as there are successful cake bakers and those who turn out a pan of heavy sweetened dough. The old col ored mammy who had made beaten bis cuits all her life, when asked how she made them, said: "Why. just takes 'em and I makes 'em." but she knew how to take 'em to make 'em success fully. Fat of some kind Is the basis of all creams, as this article la needed to feed the pores. All creams are trou blesome to make, because they require careful mixing and Incessant beating. In making all creams and emulsions, the manner of manipulation Is about the same. The fats and the oils must be mixed together and they should be melted, not put over the tire and boiled. Take for Instance the follow ing formula:—Kentucky Cold Cream. Here Is a face cream which I can rec ommend thoroughly because it con tains no animal fat to Induce a growth of hair on the face. Hose water. 4 ounces, atmono on, ounces; spermaceti, 1 ounce; white wax. 1 ounce; tincture of benzoin. 1 drachm. Into a double bolter put the aimond oii. and add to it the white wax and spermaceti, which have been chopped fine I^etthesemeit, butnotboii. The water in the iower vessei must just simmer, never boii. Turn them out into a bowi and beat brisKty with an egg beater or a fork, scraping down the sides of the bowi constancy, and keep on beating untti it is aii creamed and absoiuteiy smooth. When the mix ture has cooied, add the rose water and tile benzoin, drop by drop. beating meanwhile without ceasing untii the cream is quite cold. If the odor of 'rosewater is not iiked, you can sub stitute Mac or vioiet water in its place. Oxide of Zinc ointment is perhaps oms of the best cure-aits that could be found in the famiiy medicine eioset. .It can'be made at home, but care must be taken th the mixing. It is very i healing For any eores upon the lace }or handt. it is exeeiisnt for an itohy .scAip and is lnvaiuabie in cases of .scalds and burns. Eperfnaceti. 1 ounces; white wax. St ounce; aimond oil. tl pint; and bul' Itcient quantity of oxide of sine- As in making the Kentucky cream, the oii must be put in doubie boiier.—and the spermaceti and White wax added in Hneiy chopped pieces. When meited they must be beaten in a bowi. untii a per fect asetmilation is procured. Now carefuiiy measure, and to every six parts take one part of oxide e* sine in a Cne powder. Take one-quarter of the ointment and with a wooden paddie or smati wooden spoon rub the'flnc OSor oughiy into it, then add the f'emplhder of the ointment little by littie until ail mixed, but stir constancy until cold. Aii creams and pomades shoWd be put up in smaii porceiain or #!sss j&rs, which can be ciosed tightly to exclude the air. eise they Wilt beconie twftcid and unfit for use. Last week I received a tetter from a correspondent saying, have before me your directions for steaming the face, but it is so much trouble—can't I sit In front of the open Are instead. Won't this open the pores?' In that tetter ties the secret of all faiiurep in seeking to better your appearance—it is too much trouble, too much trouble to mix the formuias, too much trouble to apply them! In the winter time, the dressing table of all smart women should boast of a good iip salve. Here is a Sftihpie formuia wHtch any woman can Osaka at home with the knowledge that* its ingredients are harmless and pure. Spermaceti ointment. 1 ounce; Bal aam of Peru, 1!S grains: a!k a net-foot. i6 grains; oil of cloves. 3 drops. Put the ointment In a double boiler and add the aikanet-foot. Let this simmer at the siowest possible heat until it has become a deep rose color, then strain it through a medium coarse strainer. Let it get slightly cool, and stir in slowty the Balsam, beat it up thoroughly ahd then stand' aside tor a few minutes to settle in the bottom of the bowl. Pour off the clear portion, and to the remainder fh the boW! beat in the oil of cloves, drop by drop, sttr ring or beating constantly for severs* Lagt week we pubiisnea a rormu^ for Herb Tea Lotion with directions to be made 'n an iron pot Already have a letter saying "1 have no iron pot. Won't a porceiatn one do as weii?" Wot oniy wiii it not do "as weii," but a porceiatn pot wtil not do at ati. Perhaps a simpler home rem edy for darkening the hair is as fol lows: Into an Iron pot (absolutely no other kind will do) put a goodly measure of potato parings, and cover them with cold water. Let them come to a boil sloWly. and continue to boil until soft and mushy. Strain the water through cheesecloth, and when cold apply to the hair with an old brush, lotting the iotion dry on the hair in the sunlight. This will discolor the part in the hair, and care should be taken to scrub the part clean before the lotion dries on. tn making ail col oring matter, wear old kid gloves or rubber ones, for they will stain the hands. There are two ways of eitraoting the juice from cucumbers—an ingredi ent with great natural whitening pow ers ^or the complexion- One way is to select cucumbers ripe enough for table use. Cut them and then chop them very tine, and finally pound them to a paste. Pit! a cheesecloth jelly bag with this pulp and squeeze out the juice. The second manner is to slice the cu cumbers very thin, skin and all. and put them in a porcelain stew pan. Add just a little wafer to them and iet them simmer gently for a long time, until soft and mushy. Strain them Bret through a hair sieve, and then through a jeiiy bag.
