MORAL INFLUENCE OF CLOTHES.
Lot not tlie flippant speak lightly
of tho suggostlon Hint thu way to ro
form women In prisons In to glvo thom
corsets and pretty clotlios. The feml
nlno philosopher who propounded this
road to redemption was entirely sound
In saying that thero Is no reform
without Bolf-respect, and tho relation
between sclf-rospcct and bolng well
dressed Is intimate, bays thu Philadel
phia Hecord. It was another fomlnhio
philosopher, one from Boston, who said
that tho consciousness of being well
dressed Imparted a pence of mind
which not evon tho consolations of re
ligion could give. Tho warden who
thinks a woman Is no worse when a
corset Is tnkon off her and no better
when one Is put on, perhaps forgets,
(hat In his own prison the convicts do
not wear striped clothes, and tho
wardens of borno other penal institu

a Bonso of self-respect to grow Tho
cropping of tho hair and the lockstep
have been abolished from several pris
ons to avert tho psychological effect of

more In this idea of giving women
prisoners corsetB and pretty clothes
than no mo of tho ponologlutB, social
reformers and physicians Interviewed

A clergyman who preached to a con
gregation of young people recently
Hclcctcd as tho subject of his dis
course, "After Marrlago What?" and
gave several excellent practical sug
gestions. Ono was that ovory mar
ried couplo should recognize ns a
paramount duly their duty toward
inch other. Another wqb that they
should keep up a honeymoon courtesy,
r.ud Btlll another that they should es
tablish n homo of their own. "Do it
over so humble," ho Insisted, "a
homo of tholr own should bo tho fixed
purpose of ovory young couplo after
i.arrlago." It Is a safo assertion
that no connubial venture conducted
on these principles will como to wreck
upon tho rock of divorce.

MUTTON IN THE DIET.
Mutton has always been a popular
food among tho Jowh and In sections
where sheep are raised; yet we find
even In sheep states that people do
not know and appreciate tho value of
the meut. Mutton and lnrnb arc whole
somo and tho fact that sheep are
rarely diseased is a great point in
their favor,
Mutton is a food for tho Invalid, as
It 1b commonly believed to digest
easily and without causing any Inter
nal disturbance. Mutton, like beef, ia
almost always completely assimilated
in a healthy stomach.
Tho advantage that mutton hab over
beef is that it may bo used moro
economically, as a quarter or half of a
carcass may be bought and kept In an
ordinary refrigerator and the price
per pound Is considerably less. Deef
cannot be bought In such sections, as
tho portion would bo too largo to
keep. A leg of mutton can be utilized
by un ordinary family with compara
tively Bmall waste.
Mutton Is said to absorb odors read
ily and so must bo carefully hung.
Another Important feature is tho man
ner of dressing. If the butcher han
dles tho wool nnd then touches tho
meat it is sure to have a strong,
woolly flavor. The feeding, sex and
age of course are factors which help
to dotormlno tho flavor, which is said
to havo Its origin in the fat.
When tho mutton 1b brought into
tho houBe, whether rresh from tho
hands of the butcher or from the mar
ket, wipe it with a damp cloth and all
portions which havo any unpleasant
odor about them should bo cut off.
In roasting mutton a rack Is desir
able, as thero Is then no danger of
any portion of the ' meat being
scorched and spoiling the flavor of
tho wholo.
Ono fnct 'worthy of note In making
broth, especially for the sick, is that
the fat of mutton Is easily extracted
In tho process of cooking, bo that
after the broth cools, tho fat may be
easily removed.
In preparing mutton broth, as all
others, the object Is to get as much
of tho nutrlmont and extractives Into
the soup as possible. This Is accom
plished by dividing the meat Into
small pieces and cooking at a vory
low temperature.

HELPFUL HINTS.
When suede shoes becomo shiny,
rub them , with a bit ot sandpaper.
This Is a good treatment to give shiny
spots on any garment.
To prevent shoes from squeaking
rub tho Boles with Unseed oil. This
not only remedies that difficulty but
it preserves tho leather and makes
the soles waterproof. When making
now comforters for the beds reserve
enough extra material for a protec
tion nt the hend. Tills may be made
in tho form of a ton or twelve-Inch
slip thnt can be drawn over and
tacked down, then when It is soiled it
may bo easily removed and washed.
Tho comfort Is always clean and
sweet. Nobody likes to sleep undci

APPROPRIATE SAUCES.
A pudding is made or marred by tin.
flauco which is served with It. It
may not seem so Important on first
thought, -but tho blending of flavors
Is as fine a point to consider as tho
blending of colors In a painting or In
garments to wear. The world la too
full of people llko the woman who
had a great deal of taste, but It was
nil bad.
The French chef shows his artistic
sense in tho manner which he blends
flavors. It Is an art, a scienco which
all cooks should cultivate, tho art of
seasoning.
Few people know what to add to a
dish to give it its distinctive piquancy,
which it Is so evidently lacking. Many
times it may be a dask of salt or a
pinch of mace, a drop of vanilla, or
any number of things which the keen
sense of the trained cook at onco
detects.
This wonderful art of ceasonlng
makes the difference In different peo
ple's dishes, some aro so satisfying,
so well flavored und well seasoned
that never a morsel Is wasted; others
nro so flat, stale and unprofitable, al
though good material has been used,
that much is wasted.
Whipped cream la a moBt delicious
sauce, which Is very much abused and
Is served In somo homes on every va
riety of pudding. If one considered a
moment the fitness of things it would
be most apparent that a rich pudding
should have a sauce not so rich in fat.
For example a spongo souffle, being
made of eggs and rather tasteless In
itself, needs a rich sauce of butter,
creamed with powdered sugar, fla
vored and made foamy with whipped
cream. A rich suet pudding Is best
served with an egg snuce, thinned
with milk and flavored aa desired.
The salad dreaslng Is another im
portant point to consider, even tho
simple French dressing, which ono
would think might be made by an
amateur, Is often ruined by too much
vinegar. Ono part of vinegar to two
of oil and often throe of oil if Wor
cestershire Is used; a bit of ice helps
to blend tho dressing, and salt and
cayenne must be added to taste.
In meat sauces a dash of onion
Julco, a touch of assafoetida, a sus
picion of garlic, will transform an
ordinary dish into what the French
call a creation.

afternoon, returning from town, tho
mother found the palms and ferns had
disappeared from the veranda. Going
Into the darkened living-room she saw
one of tho boys, minus clothing, re

er, equally clothless, wa3 standing by
a palm. They enlightened her by ex
plaining that they wero playing Ad

At that mlnuto her youngest roy,
not three, came into tho room as na
ture had first given him to tho world,
except that ho wore a silk hat on his
