Paper bags aro useful and should nover bo wasted. Put a bag on the hand which holds tho blacking brush, whether for shoes or the stove, and prevent solliiiB tho hand. Uso bags to put over tho cleaned lamp chim neys; then when tho lamp Is wanted tho chimney will bo bright and shin ing. Slip a bag over a bowl or pitcher of milk when setting away, or when used in a sick room. A paper bag slipped over a small bowl when beating cream, with a place cut at tho bot tom for tho handlo of tho beat er to come through, will savo spatter ing jourself and tho table. Put a box of good soil in your cel lar so that in the spring you will have it ready to plant your seeds. Never travel without a llax seed in your handbag. Then if you or your neighbor getB a cinder In the eye, moisten ono and drop It in. The gel atinous covering of the seed will quickly gather up tho foreign body unless It Is imbedded In the eyeball. One of tho first things to try with a strangling child is to take him by the legs and shako him. When he openB his mouth to cry, tho foreign body will fall out. A smart blow on tho back will often help to dislodge anything in tho throat. If tho substance cannot be reached with the finger und drawn up, novor try to force it down, for tho vocal or gans may thus bo injured. When steaming velvet, put a fun nel Into the spout of the tea kettlo. This will spread tho steam over a larger surface and tho work Is more quickly dono Children may bo taught by means of their dolls the pollto way of intro duction. How to send and accept In vitations to teas and dlnnors, the proper greetings and adleux and many of tho social customs of tho day. It will bo a game for them,, but tho knowledge will bo invaluablo all through life. Ono may easily toll tho training a child has had by tho tone of volco used In play.

PAR- id Is often a difficult problem to find tho right kind of a sweet to servo at a children's party, where tho food ' must be simple, attractive and whole some. The birthday cako is something that every child may look back upon aB tho most wonderful of all cakes. If an angel food Is baked, frosted and tho center used for tho life candle, with little tnpers around It number ing tho years, tho edge flrilshed with a beading of tiny colored candles, It will not bo much work or expono, nnd tho Joy of tho llttlo people will bo ample reward for tho effort. Pineapple Lemonade. This Is a de licious drink enjoyed by young and older people. For each person allow a half cup of grated pineapple, the Julco of ono lemon, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a half cup of boiling wa ter. When cool add a cup of cold wa ter for each person. Strain and chill beforo serving. Grape Gelatine. Soak a packago of gelatlno in a pint of cold water for five minutes; then add three pints of hot sweetened grape Juice. Stir until the gelatine Is well dissolved, then pour Into small molds to harden. Sorvo with whlppod cream nnd gar nish with seeded grapes which have been dipped into boiling sirup and cooled. This gelatine makes a dell clous dessert to servo with tho cake. Candy mlco and frogs may bo formed and colored with chocolato and fruit 'coloring. Theso may bo used as fa vors. Many pretty llttlo candles of different forms that aro not too rich may bo purchased, if ono cares to go to that expense. Brownie Sticks. Roll out strips of plain pastry, roll In tho form of sticks, bake and then dip In melted sweetened cholocatc. Pilo iaggot fashion on a paper dolly. Children love, llttlo surprises, like The Law of Compensation. "Been busy this morning raking ofT tho leavos that fall from the treos of y right hand neighbor." "Don't you have any leaves of your own?" "Yes; they go td my left hand neigh bor." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Exactly. "Girls aro crazy, aren't they, about golden hair?" "Yes; I know "iota who are Just dyo lag for 1L" ?5i&---,-Sp a small gift in tho shell of n walnut, from which the meat has been re moved. Gluo or tlo tho halves togthcr. Thoro Is no child, however fortun ate In gifts, who Is not delighted to have something tONcarry homo. This makes tho party completo nnd long romembercd. From tho sunlit heights of life "tho deep vnlea nnd hollows of Its necessities look darkest; hut to tho faithful whose part lies there, there Is still light enough tc show tho way, nnd to no other eyes dc the everlasting hills nnd bluo heavor seem so brilliant. James Bnrttncau. WHEN COMPANY COMES. There Is an old saying handed down from some remote ancestor which tells us that "the ornaments of n houso aro the friends who frequent It." There aro few housekeepers who do not en Joy very keenly tho entertainment olj friends, and thoro are fewer with tho means to entertain as they like, yot truo hospitality does not consist In tho things with which you furnish jour table; better a dinner of herbs where there Is homlness, than an eight course dinner with the feeling that It Is to be paid for later by hard skimping. In this day and age wo aro looking for and expecting originality from our educated women; anybody may copy tho rich neighbor, provided ono's cred it Is good, but the woman who servos her friends with food and entertain ment within her means Is bound to bo respected by all who know hor. A simple meal, dainty and well served. Is so much more acceptable than tho elaborate ono which bIiows It 1b too great a strain. It la a posltlvo Joy to tho dinner goer to be entertained at an old-fashioned dinner table, where each has a share In the serving. Trying to out do our neighbor Ib too common a per formance. Tho popular hostess Is sho who starts something original. Tho pity Is that thero are so many who could entertain shlmply, and should return hospitality, who hesitate for fear of the cxponso. Let tho enter tainment bo within tho means, make It simple and then go calmly along, envying nobody, sotting a wholesome example which will bo followed with gratitude by tho rest of tho sensible members of society, who aro fortunate enough to have such a friend. Great people have nlways been In favor of simple food, and It Is usually Mrs. Nowly Rich who attempts to out do others and servo up Impossible messes whoso only recommendation is tho employment they give our long suffering physicians. I.ovo Is not getting, but giving; not n wild dream of pleasure, and n mndncsa or desire oh, no, lovo Is not that It li goodness and honor, and peace nnd pure living yes, lovo Is that, and Is tho best thing in tho world, nnd tho thing that lives longest. Henry van Dyke. GOOD EATS FOR "SPREADS." Sandwiches, a salad and a hot drink are considered indlspensables for a "spread." Of the making of sand wiches thero Is no end, but perhaps somobody has not yet tried brown bread spread with butter, then a filling of chopped almonds and cucumber, mixed with a small amount of mayon naiso dressing. For salads, too, there is a host to choose from; thero Is none which Is moro delicious than tho fruit salnd which may be made of almost ' any combination of fruit In season which blends well, mixed with a little salad dressing and much whipped cream and a few chopped marshmallows. English Monkey. This Is a cheese dish which is a great favorite and warranted , to originate all kinds of dreams. Soak a cupful of bread crumbs In a cup of milk for fifteen minutes. Add a tablespoonful of but ter to half a cup of crumbled cheese; stir them in a sauce pan or chafing dish until well melted. To this add tho soaked bread and ono egg well beaten; salt and cayenne to tasto. Cook until creamy. Sorve on toast. Another Nice Sandwich. Chop two dozen olives, add a teaspoonful of to mato cntsup, a pinch of mustard, half a cup of finely cut celery and a half a cup of mayonnaise- Ham In Jelly. Put half a glasB ol currant jelly Into a chafing dish with a tablespoonful of butter.1 When It Is hot, lay In thinly sliced cold boiled ham; simmer five minutes and serve with crisp buttered toast. Peanut Brittle. Melt two cupfuls ot sugar in a saucopan, stirring con stantly; when a golden brown, pour over a half pound of finely rolled pea nuts. Put Into a buttered pan nnd mark off at onco. The finer the pea nuts nro rolled tho nicer the candy. Between Girls. "Algernon held my hand last night." "Talking lovo?" "Well, under thoso circumstances ho would hardly bo discussing tho Bteel schedule." Loulsvlllo Courier Journal. In the Spotlight. Mrs. Gramorcy I thought your !l vorco case was coming up this month? Mrs. Park I had my lawyers get a postonemont, becauso my now gowns wouldn't be finished In tlmo. Judge. MymEMmm&&mmm$mr - VflBfMflkUrP' OR tho club woman, or one who attends any informal afternoon function, hero Is a simple and smart costume. It Is designed on very con servative lines, but provided with tho most popular of tho present Btylo touches to make it acceptablo to tho most up-to-dato wearer. It Is a model especially well adapted to a stout figure. Tho small coat hangs closer than tho majority of those equally smart. Its cut sets tho material close to the arm nnd nar rows tho shoulders. Tho sleeves aro oasv. In strainht lines und three-auar-1 ter length. Thero Is a deop and rath er narrow "V" at tho throat, and tho basque is long, sloping down toward tho back. It la unfinished except for tho sowing at tho bottom. Thus tho long line of tho figuro is not broken by tho soparato coat. It Is noticeable that all tho lines of tho coat tend to preserve length of line, In the figure. Tho skirt Is fuller than tho average, with tho effect of being a double skirt at tho front. It Is cut wido enough to allow it to bo caught up in plaits at tho left knoo under a soft rosettb of chiffon. A piece Is let In at the front, but tho split or overlapping breadth is absent and there Is worn enough for a comfortable step. At the' long "V" at tho front a llttlo soft white chiffon is let In and a strand of the over-present white beads finishes the neck dress. Tho jacket laps at tho front with fastening concealed by an Inverted PARISIAN WQftlEM OCCUPIED WITH TWO NEW "FADS" T tho present moment thoro nro two very prominent fashions gov erning Paris. Ono of theso la white hair. Tho. other Ib red fox. Early last spring thero was noticed tho growing fashion of wearing pow dered hair. All through tho summer season ono saw tho most wonderful, and often very beautiful, heads of sil ver hair at the opera, and at tho The ater des Champs Elysees, on Russian Uallet nights. The Parlslennes started this fash Ion. Then, almost Immediately, It was taken up by women of other nations, especially by American beauties. Now It Is tho fashion to wear pow dered hair In tho day time as well a3 by night. This does not mean pure white hair, such hair as one sees at a fancy dress ball. The powdered hair now so fashionable In Paris Ib, au a rule, quito dark In parts. It Is obvious ly powderod at the sides and In front. Tho great drawback to this fashion Is this: Powdered hair makes con siderable demands upon ono's toilet, and upon ono'a personality, generally It seemB to silently call for a special style of dress. It cannot bo worn, sue cessfully, with "Just anything." In tho evening thoso difficulties dis appear entirely, for modern evening gowns aro tso ornate and elaborato that they scorn to harmonize, natural ly, with powder. As to tho second "fad," what can bo said? Red fox skins havo becomo ubiquitous In Paris. All through last summer, and autumn, tho moat ex clusive Parisian beauticB were making sensational successes In whlto linen nnd patln sea-side costumes, accom panied by a brilliant red fox skin. In the shape of a flat tic. Skins or the ordinary rod fox looked nil right when adopted as an eccen tric "fad," by ultra smart -woinon. and In conjunction with fragile summer drosses; they look hopelessly common when adopted ns a regular winter fur and worn with handsomo tailored suits of cloth nnd velvet. Noverthe- "V" shaped plcco of the material. Thero is a plaiting of laco about tho throat and Binnll ribbon decoration at tho right Bldo by way of garniture, a short satin glrdlo ot plaited ribbon fastens with hooks and eyes at tho left side under extremely small mado ornaments. Tho hat la ot hatter's pluBh, with facing of velvet In black. Tho para dise wreath in shaded lla:no color gives brllllanco nnd distinction to tho entire tollotte. It will bo noticed that tho long gloves are glaco kid In black. Thoy mako tho arms look very slender and reduce the apparent size ot all hands remarkably. Very thin women should not wear them. High surfaced black Is not for thorn. Tho sleeves aro fin ished with a band of satin. To study this costume Ib moro con vincing than describing It to show that it has been carefully thought out as adapted to tho full figure. Tho narrow drooping brim of the hat makes tho most of tho length ot tho neck, stneo It does not conceal it. The- feather awlrl Ib light, following tho brim lino almost exactly. The shape Ib extremely graceful. It is by such careful thinking out and management ot lino that grace is arrived at. Developed in black or groy or mauvo or taupe, this Is o good model, but for the purpose of re ducing tho apparent slzo of tho figure black Is tho best choice. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. less, tho red-fox-rago Is apparently In a healthy condition. It scorns likely to last all through tho wlntor. And tho pity of It Is 'that already the shop windows aro filled with Imitation red fox sklnB, worthless furs which have no meaning and which would mako any costume look ordinary. This was, of course, inovltnble, but it is never tlfeless deplorable Model of White Souple Satin. Three Tier Tunic pf White Lace With Black Mallnc Bow at Wal.t.

Secretary Houston of tho depart ment of ngrlculturo sayB that tho stato nnd federal governments should work togother for highway improvement, In order that a largo proportion of tho money annually Bpent for road con struction may not bo wasted. In his own department, tho offlco ol public roads has been demonstrating tho vnluo of proper road building by tho construction of certain object-lesson, roads, and Uio forost service I- carrylng out his Idea of national and stnto co-operation in road building. Tho law requires that ton por cent, ol tho groBS rccolptB from tho national forests shall bo opont In tho states In which tho forcstB nro situated. This monoy Is expended for road Improve mont, under direct control of tho sec retary of agriculture. Tho amount appropriated under this act, based on tho receipts of tho na tional forests for tho HbcuI year ondlng Juno 30, 1913, Is 234,C38.G8. From tho 1912 receipts for UiIb ten por cent road item, thero Is nn additional $131, 831.10 which Is Btlll available In administering tho ton por cent. road fund, forest officers charged with tho actual plans nnd expenditures In tho neighborhood of their forests have, in almost nil casos, secured an oqunl or a larger co-operative fund from state authorities for tho building of certain pieces of road. With tho monoy thus oxpendod, many important roads aro being built or put In ropalr. Ono on tho Wyom ing national forost, six miles long, makes accessible to farmers a largo body of timber and openB up a roglon of great scenic beauty. In northwest ern Arizona, part of tho fund will ba used In connection with tho LoFovro Bright Angel road, important bocauB lt makes acccBBlblo to tourists the Grand Canyon of tho Colorado. In ono place, tho ocean to ocean highway crosses tho Apacho nationnl forost, Arizona, and on this project tho forost roscrvo sorvlco and tho local authori ties co-operated enthusiastically. On tho Florida national forest In westorn Florida, steel bridges and graded roads havo, under the stimulus of this fund, tnkon tho placo of corduroy, bog nnd sand. ThlB federal road fund Is now avail able in all national forcBt states of tho west. Just as fast as returns como in, tho forestry officials say, n similar fund will bocomo available In statos In which eastern national forostB aro bo lng secured. CASH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS One Fact Alone Is Sufficient to Justify Expense of Construction Under Efficient System. No ono questions tho stntoment that good roadB havo a high monoy valuo to tho farmers of tho nation, and It may bo said that this alone Ib sufficient to Justify tho cost ot their construction ns rapidly nB practicable under an offl clont, economical nnd oqultnblu sys tem of highway Improvement. Tho big point In favor of this ex penditure Is tho economy of tlmo and forco In transportation betweon farm and mnrket, enabling tho gtowors to tako advantage of fluctuations in buy ing nnd Boiling, ns well as enhancing tho vnluo of real cstato. It Is esti mated that tho average annual loss from poor roads Is 7G conts an aero, whllo tho estimated avorago Increase resulting from Improving all tho public roads Is $9. Tho losses In flvo years would ag gregate $2,432 for every section ol land, or moro than enough to Improve two miles of public highway. Tho ne cessity ot good roads is obvious, as it would enhance the valuo of each sec tion of land nbout ?5,7G0, or moro than doublo tho estlmntod cost of two mlloa of Improved highway, which constl. tutcs tho quota for G10 acres of land.
