Miss Nellie Ma Dwe Yaba, of Bas «ien, Burma, has completed a six course in the Moody Institute, •Chicago. She planned to spend a month lecturing in the Eastern States And then sail for England, to remain •ix months before returning to her Jaative country, where she intends to jwork as an organizer for the Young Christian Association. MISB Taba has spent four years in the States. She completed n •course at Ann Arbor, Mich., before ■entering the Moody Institute.—New ITork Sun. The Divorce Zone. A girl recently returned from a jfterles of visits asked not to be ques- Ttloned as to how much she had en joyed it, as she had been living in ,the divorce zone. "In every family •In those places, and I went to five colonies," she said, "there had been '« divorce, and the one topic was the 'heart hunger that had made pne or the other Beek fresh fields.' I could not quite understand why any woman should be 'hungry for love and sym pathy' when endowed with a decent husband and children, or why it was always the most eligible bachelor that was hungered for."—New York Tribune. V Elected Honorary Chairman. Dr. Sarah Dolley, pf Rochester, was elected honorary chairman at the meeting which the women mem bers of the American Medical Asso- Heefstenk Tie.—Crust for pie: Ten ounces of flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder, half a teaspoonful of salt— mix; one-quarter pound of lard, rub in the lard lightly with the fingers, nnd make to a paste with cold water.

She is the honorary president of the Women's Medical So ciety of New York State, which cel ebrated her eighty-first birthday last March with a dinner in Rochester.— New York Sun. Multitude of Mantles. This season is to be one of capes, not coats. The old fashioned word mantle is revived. There is the cape d'Espagnole, the Cavalier cape, the Henry 11. mantleiand the Louis XIU, mantle. Fashion Note. ® !®J The attractive feature of thii pontes |Own ii the embroidery done in daisy pattern, in (ilk to match the material, flu waift and sleeve effect is also noval The latter it not a wrap, but a draper/. It ia very artistic and pro vides a way to continue using the ever graceful scarf. Whether Mar graine La Croix, of Paris, really or iginated It or not, is hard to tell, but her name was given to it at the races not long ago. It la of gold or silver tissue, of chiffon or gauze, in any suitable color, and may be bordered with a wealth of decorous ornament. It is caught on each shoulder at the back, drops down into folds that reach the knees and then goes up the fronts and meets the fastening at the shoulder, —Philadelphia Ledger. Marriage. Don't Marry— For money—lt may take wings. For a home—the world is full of them. For a companion—companionship is as worthily attainable. For a housekeeper—you can em ploy one. For pique—it will not mend mat ters. For a nurie—the penalty is unlim ited. To please your people—the nearest , of kin do not know your heart. To displease them —they care for i you. To have children—there are count less needy and worthy ones. To escape a single existence —It is an honest and honorable state. The school girl—time will change her vision. The too-ready girl—any man could win her. Under brain storm—you will re cover. With a sandwiched heart—you will rue it. To spite somebody—you are stor ing up trouble. In haste—you will repent at leis ure. And forsake other filial duties. But— - v • Do marry where your heart Inter ests are tried and proved;. steadfast and Immovable; constant and pure. They who so choose have mastered themselves and are the pillars of so ciety. "To thine ownself be true." —Wyalusing. A rage for champagne color Is on. Gooseberry will be seen, particu larly In velvets. On some of the most fashionable stockings lace monograms appear. Emerald green is an exception to the rulo for tones that might bo called dull. Dull, rusty-looking colors prevail, with red as a brilliant exception to tne rul«. Hrowns on the khaki and leather order have been promised us for sev eral weeks. A particularly cheerful tone Is known as ripe cherry, promising a big run for hats. Colored shirt waists have a double pleated * frill made of two rows of Valenciennes lace. High tan shoes, the lower part made of ordinary tan leather, the up pers of high brown suede. The shoes are buttoned. Little wraps that end In dainty sash ends and front tabs and have skeleton body parts are one of the season's Introductions. Hats made of fine bastlste, quite simply arranged with a band of vel vet ribbon around the crown, are en joying a remarkable vogue. Mourning-ruchtag is madc ef three rows of pleated tulle, two rows of white with a row of black in be tween. It is neat and crisp looking. Black velvet hats are faced with colored broadcloth to match the-gown. This foretells an extravagant season, since the tendency seems to be for a hat to accompany every gown. A shade, of red that will be fash lonable Is terra cotta. It requires care In manipulation, of course, al though an all terra cotta hat, with a black frock, would be charming. On shoppers, rather than in the shops themselves, a noticeable nunir ber of flower trimmed hats. All sorts and descriptions of flowers are used, and most of them are evidently new. ! The Ant museum was founded 2 St] 18. C. New York City.—The blouse waist | [ which Includes a chemisette is a pret !ty one and will be much worn this season. Here Is a model that can be utilized both for the gown and for tbe separate blouse, and which allows B choice of the new fancy sleeves and of plain ones. In the Illustration It Is made of crepe de Chine with trim ming of banding, and Is combined with tucked messaline. It will be found charming for cashmere, how- ever, and also for the silks that prom ise to be so extenslve'y worn, while for the chemslette, the deep cuffs and the trimming of the sleeves any con trasting aniterial is appropriate. If an elaborate blouse is to' be made, aIK over lare or jetted net would be ap propriate, for the simpler one tucked silk is always pretty. The blouse is made over a fitted lining, and consists of fronts, backs and chemisette portions. The fronts and backs are tucked becomingly and the waist is closed invisibly at the back. When the fancy sleeves are used they are arranged over linings. The plain ones can be finished in any way that may suit the fancy. * The quantity of material required for the medium size is three yards twenty-one or twenty-four, two and three-eighth,yards thirty-two or one and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with one and five-eighth yards of tucked silk and five and one half yards of banding. Ankle Straps Now. Although ankle straps have been seen all along on low shoes for chil dren,'lt is not until lately that they have come into general use for grown-ups. Modified Kimono. The modified kimono, which is the old wrapper with a Japanese touch in the sleeve and banded edge around the neck and downward, remains a favorite for bedroom wear. New Girdles. Elastic, girdles seem to have taken a firm stand in fashion, and they are a rather becoming adjunct to any co&- |umg. Formerly they were made in only a few colors, end were much beaded, but this year they are called chiffon elastic, to suit the desires of fashion, and are finished with really very handsome buckles. Fewer Tan Shoes. Fashionable women are not wear lag tan shoes for the street. • I Hugo Aigrettes. The adrices as to hats are that they will be very large, with trimmings of huge aigrettes and enormous flowers. Empire Fan. The fashionable fan for the boudoir is the small Empire style, with hand paintings of Empire scenes, and pearl handle sticks set with vanity mirrors, says Dress. For evening use the very large fan is not considered smart at present; th 6 medium slse is preferred. The long, narrow, oval fan is out of date. Seven Gored Walking Skirt. The skirt that Is plain at Its upper portion and laid In pleats at the lower Is the very latest to have appeared. This one is smart In the extreme, pro vides fulness enough for grace la walking, yet is narrow and straight in effect, as the pleats are designed to be pressed flat. In the Illustration it is made of the hop sacking that will be so much worn during the coming reason, but It is appropriate for all skirting materials, those of the pres eut as well a3 those of the future, and it will also bo found a most satisfac tory model for the entire gown and for the coat suit. The lines are all desirable ones and the skirt can be relied upon to be smart and satisfac tory in every way. I The skirt is cut in seven gores. There Is an extension at the back edge of each gore below the scallops, I and these extensions form the pleats. The scallops are designed to be un der-faced or finished In any way that may be preferred and afford excellent opportunity for the use of the fash ionable buttons. The fulness at the back Is laid in inverted pleats. The quantity of material required for the medium size is six and one half yards twenty-seven, four and three-quarter yards fifty-two inches wide; width of skirt at lower edge four and one-half yards. Butterfly Bow on Hat. One of the artistic oddities in mil linery—and an oddity that is pretty should be chronicled—is the butterfly bow perched in front, at top of crown. These aro made of ribbon, of jet, of rainbow gauze and of jet. They are used on a hat that Is plainly trimmfed with a wrapped scarfband. Novel Neckpieces. For slim-throated wearers some novel neckpieces show little bows ar ranged at the top of the stock. * HSBBpSi&EHOLO Faded Cottons Made New. Faded cotton blouses, frocks, etc., can be made to look new If bleached white. Mix three tablespoonful* of chloride of lime in three quarts of water, or double that quantity of both If required, and in this liquid stir about tbe garments until they are white. Then at once rinse thorough ly In pure water and starch and Iron as usual. If preferred to have the garments colored, they may be dyed after they have been bleached, but the bleaching Is advisable in order to get the fabric to take the dye equally all over.—Home Notes. Packing Rottles. It is nearly always a risk to pack bottles in a trunk. It is no uncom mon thing to tie them all up, with much patience and a great deal of string, and then, on unpacking the trunk, find the side breadth of a per fectly new skirt decorated with ink or sticky medicine. To avoid any such distressing accident get an air tight tin can, with a well fitting lid. A baking powder can will do, if there are not many bottles to be carried, or any kind of a can you happen to have handy. Put the bottles In this and drop sawdust between them. This will lessen the probability of their breaking, but if they do break, the sawdust will absorb the liquid inside the can, and the adjacent clothing will not be ruined.—New York Press, Cleansing Suggestions. To clean black dress goods try sponging it with cold tea. It Is said that spots and stains disappear read ily. A remedy suggested for a shiny coat is either turpentine or strong coffee. To take out fly specks on gilt frames apply the white of an egg with a camel's hair brush and they will disappear. To freshen rusty black lace, soak It In vinegar and water, two table spoonfuls of vinegar to a pint'of wat er, rinse and iron, while still damp, between flannel. Steel knives not in general use may be kept from rusting bv dipping them in a strong solution of soda.—Ains« lee's. Try a Hammock. If you are short of room, why not swing a hammock up in your sitting room or bedroom for the daily nap or the forty winks which every self-re specting woman ought to allow her self? It may be taken down or put up in a minute. Is never in the way, and If properly hung. Is most comfor table. In arranging the ropes or hook?, have the head two feet higher than the foot. This gives a comfor table curve. If the ropea are used, j have the head rope shorter than the > other. In this way there is less mo- j tlon of the body, which so many peo- ! pie object to in hammocks. A thin, | flat pillow adds to the comfort, but even it is not necessary, if it is a trouble to stow it away. Some of the new hammocks have slightly raised sides to prevent falling oul.—Boston Globe. -* J _ Por the Seamstress. One of the most difficult feats to perform on a sewing machinft is to sew a straight line. Ordinarily any little deviation is not noticeable, but in the case of a hem or tuck the slightest irregularity is apparent. At this point a Philadelphia man comes to the rescue with a device for gauging the width of a hem or tuck to a nicety, and assuring two perfect ly straight lines. This device consists of a scale attachment which projects across the bed plate for a sewing ma chine and in the line of feed. This at tachment, which Is In the form pf a thin bar divided Into inches and frac tion thereof, has openings along it for screws, by which it is fastened to the plate. When a half-inch hem is needed, the bar is set to that distance from the needle, and by keeping the edge of the material to the mark on the scale, the width of the hem can be kept consistent with the accuracy which only a mechanical device as sures.—Louisville Courier-Journal. | In Hie Kitchen. ' Curried Veal Steak.—Take the slices of veal and rub curry powder on both sides before broiling In pan with butter; saason with suit and but ter and serve. f Tongue Toast.—Mlnco cold boiled tongue fine, wet through with milk; add to every cup of this mixture the well beaten yolks of two eggs; let simmer over a slow fire a minute, spread on golden brown toast well buttered and hot and serve on a hot platter. Hickory Nat Cookies.-—Two cups of sugar, two eggs, one-half cup of melted butter, six tablespoons milk, one teaspoonful of cream tartar, one half teaspoonful coda, one cup meats of the hickory nut. Chop and stir In the dough. Flavor with almond. Bake in quick oven. Betsy Potato Cakes. Doll sweet potatoes till soft, mash fine, then add some chopped bacon, make in small cakes, let stand one hour. Dip in beaten egg, then In cheese crumbs and fry in the bacon drippings, which •hould be quite hot 7 Serve with a ilice of ripe tomato as a garnish. False Economy. In a township In Vermont, the peo ple recently undertook to build a road In imitation of modern highway meth ods. They did not seek expert advice as to wearing and binding qualities of stones, but used marble chips from a nearby quarry for the metalling and as a roller is a roller, and no other being "*handy," they used an ordinary farm roller .to compact the marble screenings. This roller, the report says, was so light that when it acci dentally ran over a dog in the street the dog was not injured. Boon after the road was completed, it is needless to say, it proved an utter failure, and the time and cost expended upon it went for naught. The people of that community in this attempt to get a good thing at less than cost have proven again the old, old fact cheap material combined with cheap workmanship has never, and can never,' produce satisfactory results. There will be always people who will patronize bargain counters and who can be induced to accept, In stead of the standard article, one which is "just-as-good" if it is sold at a little less price. The idea is that of getting something for nothing. It Is speculative instead of business-like,, and more money is lost than is made in such ventures. « It is important for localities to have good roads, but in road building it is more important to use the good sense of requiring the best materials ob tainable and the best kind of work manship in placing the materials. Sometimes, of course, it Is wise econ omy to use the material at hand, even though a little inferior, than to im port it at excessive expense, but the work of making the road, especially with such material, should never be slighted to save expense. The cost per mile of building an improved road in the country districts usually strikes the farmers, at first thought, as prohibitive—they may not have their respective shares of the tax on hand or in the bank that they feel they can spare for such a pur pose, and though the work of seeding and planting rests for its results on greater uncertainties than almost any other kind of business, the farmers, as a class, are most conservative about investing money without a demonstration that value will be re turned. There are two ways of purchasing things, either by paying "cash down," or by deferred payments, and both are considered legitimate business methods. Many men buy farms and give a mortgage In part payment for them, because they believe they can make the farm support their families and pay the mortgage; and many men In business borrow money at the banks, believing that they can make It pay a profit. On this same princi ple, if It is not possible to pay the cost of building a good road in one pay ment, it Is possible and it Is wise for a community to issue bonds to supply the money to pay the coat, for a good road—lf it Is a good road—will al ways pay for Itself by Increasing, the value of the real estate and by adding to the comfort and convenience of the Inhabitants.—Good Roads Magazine, Don't Waste Road Money. Our road building must be done by road men. If a schoolhouse is t» built in a ward, no one ever thinks of telling the police juror from that ward to take the money and build the schoolhouse. If a courthouse is to be built, the police jury never thinks of telling the member from the county seat ward to take the money and build the courthouse. In both in stances competent architects are em ployed, who draw plana and specifi cations and competent builders are selected to follow the plans of the architects. Yet, In road building, the average police jury appropriates so much money and puts it at the dis posal of the police juror from each ward, who Is, neither by education nor training, a practical road builder, and it is expected money to be spent by inexperienced hands on the installment plan will ultimately result in a permanent system of high ways. The result is inevitable that the money, no matter how honestly spent, fails to realize the results an ticipated. In order to have good roads you must build them just like you would build a courthouse or schoolhouse or bridge. You must first get a competent engineer to sur vey the ground and lay off the road and then secure the services of an expert road builder to see that the specifications of the engineer are car ried out. Road building to-day is a profession and a trade combined. You employ an architect to draw the plans for a house and a carpenter to build it and a mason to do the brick work. You must put the same trained mind and hand to Kf6rE"6n your pub lic road if you desire results; men trained to do this worl;, men who know how to do it, men who will spend the money, not only honestly,, but efficiently.—Governor Sailers, of Louisiana.
