Pitt, at Kidderminster, gave a toast In compliment to the carpet manufacturers. “May the trade of Kidderminster,” said Pitt, “be trampled under foot by all the world!” A more audacious toast, freighted with double meaning, has been vari ously attributed to Smeaton, Erskine and to some others.

The widow of one of Ohio’s most distinguished newspaper editors and a famous leader in politics in his day. lays she Is 70 years old and a “stron ger woman than you will find in ten thousand,” and she credits her fine physical condition to the use of Grape ttuts: "Many years ago I had a terrible fall which permanently Injured my stomach. For years I lived on a preparation of corn starch and milk, but It grew so repugnant to me that I had to give It up. Then I tried, one after another, a dozen different kinds of cereals, but the process of diges tion gave me great pain. “It was not until I began to use Grape-Nuts food three years ago that I found relief. It has proved, with the dear Lord’s blessing, a great boon to me. It brought me health and vigor such as I never expected to again en joy, and In gratitude I never fall to sound its praises.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ‘There’s a Reason."

The narrow, straight skirt Is still to the fore, al though not as narrow as formerly, tiny plaits at the back giving the desired fullness. Some of the skirts have a wide bias fold at the bottom that Is split at the sldet apd has rows of buttons for a finishing. The new jackets button much higher than they did last year, but since they are very short, reaching Just a trifle below the waist line, the distance from the top to the bottom button Is about the same. Some models show a mil itary collar, but this is not so practical for a spring season, though doubtless It will again be seen on next winter’s coats. Dainty Models in Silk. A great many of the new tailor tnades are of silken materials and they are very dainty. Other materials shown are the soft serges, broad cloths and voiles, the smoother weaves taking the place of the coarse ones of the early winter. Black and white check designs appear In voile and mar quisette, having a border of a plain stripe of either black or white. Bord ers are a feature of the new linens as well as of the cottons, but attractive as they are one may well hesitate about yielding to their charms, for they are hard to handle In simple fashions despite their beauty, and are the despair of the ordinary dress maker. TABLES FOR LIVING ROOM. A living room naturally hi* a certain livable look and air of liomellkeness, and this In a way determines the style af table which should be used In this room. No unstable gift affairs are allowed, no Imitations of dainty inlay. Instead, mahogany, oak and other choice woods are used, and also wicker and willow. These should, of course, be in styles to harmonize with the rest of the furni cure. Be sure to choose tables that are built on good simple lines and that have a beautiful finish, not the hard, Shiny and cheap looking surface. The old-fashioned center table with its carefully arranged gift books which no one ever read, and its fancy lamp on an ornate mat, Is out of date. Today, If we have a large table in the center of the room, It Is for use and comfort, srnd the whole family naturally gathers around it in the evenings. The chief table in the living room should be large and carefully placed so that It will give the greatest amount of use and comfort to the greatest num ber. A sofa drawn up to it on one side 10 that several can sit and read In tlfl evening, and comfortable chairs placed near the other sides. Is not only a sen sible arangement, but also a well bal anced and attractive one. If you do not wish to have a table cover or runner, lamp mats made of leather, brocade, cretonne or stenciled linen may be used. If you use a table cover It should be made to fit the top jf the table and edged with a gimp. Brocade, velours, velvet and heavy silk are edged with dull gold or silver or silk. Cretonne or crash looks well on this sort of table. A book rack, a bowl for flowers, books that are In use, an ornament or two of real merit are usually all the average table will hold besides the lamp and desk set. HOW THEY LOOKED. History rarely gives us pictures of its heroes and heroines that make them visible to our eyes. Portraits of famous persons are not within the reach of all of us and are not absolutely reliable. But one always wants to know what a historic personage looked like. Here are a few sketches taken at random from contemporary historians. Mary. Queen of Scots, was red-head ed and cross-eyed, and in spite of the encomiums of her contemporaries was far from handsome. Queen Elizabeth had a red nose and was much ashamed of it. She always took pains to have It powdered before making her appearance on a state oc casion. Mme. Recamier was one of the most »*heral beauties ever seen in France. Iven in old age, when she became to aily blind, she was regarded as sin ularly beautiful. Mme. de Stael was ugly, with rough, Irregular features and e bad complex ion. She was very sensitive in regard to her looks and disliked being com plimented on her Intellectual powers, regarding the compliment as a slur pn her lack of beauty. Blr Walter Scott’s eyes were a gray ish blue and very keen. His hair was light and he walked with a limp from an Injury received in early life. Gibbon's face was full and red. Late in life he became very stout and his features grew flabby. Only when in terested In conversation diu he show Indication of the bright Intellect that conceived and carried out what lias boen called the greatest historical work ever produced by the unaided labor of one man. Addison had regular and pleasing features, unmarked by dissipation. Chaucer looked like a dandy, the im pression being intensified by his dress. CHOCOLATE COATED RAISINS. Raisins coated with melted chocolate make a unique confection to serve at the end of a dinner. Melt some sweet chocolate and dip tine, large raisins, seeded, into it. Let them cool and harden before serving. Small stoned dates of superior quality may also be coated with chocolate in this way. A candy dipper is a most convenient little utensils when dipping fruits or nuts into melted chocolate. TO ENAMEL WOODWORK. Whenever you want to apply an enamel finish, lightly rub with a medium grade of sand paper. There are several liquid paint and varnish re movers on the market if the old paint is in a bad condition. Many women are able and have the time to give the finish in a room a coat of enamel paint. Dust and dirt do not adhere to this finish, and it is a great labor saver as well as a delight to the eye. CARE OF PUDDING CLOTHS. Immediately after pudding cloth3 nave been used scald them, wash them thoroughly, using soda but no soap, and hang them up to dry. A great deal of trouble is saved In this way, for If left till cold It is more difficult to wash them. Let them air well be fore they are put away or they will have a nasty odor when next aped. -> " ■■■ ■ ■ ■ ■" —»•* V II ■ NEW GAD SHAVE FREI PATTERNS Designs Are Small and Colors Are Effective—Blue for Col onial Room. Among the new carpets of the year there are some which might have come down to us from the period of Louis XIV., so dainty are the designs and the combination of shades and tints. All the patterns are small, as may be expected of these French carpets, and the borders, which have been as wide as flve-elghths of a yard, are now 12 inches. • An"4lp4clally pretty effect la grained In the two-toned carpets In gray, lav ender, pink. etc. The delicate French gray, with a geometrical design In the lighter tone, is delightful, while the gray ground with a delicate lavender flower at Intervals Is almost too pretty for use. Body Brussels for Bedroom. Moet of the French carpet comes In body brussels and while It Is lovely In the dainty bedroom or boudoir, It may be used In almost any other room in the house. The housekeeper who does net use matting In summer will hall these light carpets with delight as her warm weather floor covering. The two-toned effects are steadily gaining In popularity, which their beauty and novelty certainly merit. In two shades of brown they are especial ly pretty, while for the colonial bed room the carpet In two shades of blue Is especially appropriate. ■ But no matter what colors are used In these French carpets no glaring ef fects ars shown, everything being sub dued and soft. f f f TIMEJ.Y RECIPES. if f f »f ■ff-f ■f ■f ■ff+f ff-ffff ff ■f ♦ f f f f» Mayonnaise. Take a clean, cold bowl and drop Into It the yolks of two fresh eggs that have been chilled. Stir lightly with a silver fork, then add one-half teaspoonful each salt, sugar, mustard and a half salt spoon of cayenne. Mix well, then begin pouring in a little a* a time, pure oil. You will need a cup ful or a cupful and a half altogether. Beat steadily until It begins to thicken, then add the oil in larger quantities, increasing until you can add a table spoonful at a time. After a little ex change the fork for an egg beater, which will do the work more thorough ly and rapidly. When the dressing is thick and glossy, add two tablespoons ful lemon Juice and the same amount tarragon vinegar, alternating with the rest of the oil. If you wish to increase the amount of mayonnaise you can whip the whites of the eggs and add them at the last. If you wish to make richer add a half cup whipped cream. A Cooked Salad Dressing, Sometimes Called Mayonnaise. Allow to three fresh eggs three table spoonsful good olive oil, three table spoonsful vinegar, three tablespoonsful thin bullion or water, and salt and paprika to season. Beal all the in gredients together with' an egg beater, then put into a double boiler, having boiling water in the outer vessel. Cook, leaving with the egg beating until thickened. Remove the inner pot from the outer hot bath, and beat a little longer until partially cooled. Finisfc the cooling process and it is ready foi serving. Apple and Celery Salad. Peel and core some tart, well flavored apples, cut into eighths or narrower and then cut across the sections intc thin slices. Cut clean, crisp celery In to thin crescent shaped slices until you have a quantity equal to the apple. Mix In sufficient mayonnaise to moist en well or use the French dressing 11 preferred. Arrange In individual por tions In lettuce leaves placed cup fash ion, dot the top with a teaspoonful ol the mayonnaise and serve at once. Ar pie must not stand after peeling, as It discolors. This is often known as a Waldorf salad, whether served in let tuce leaves or red apple ospe. Chickory Salad. Select a salad that hus a white heart Wash thoroughly and leave In corS water until well crisped. Put Into a wire salad basket or a dry towel and shake thoroughly until perfectly dry. Put Into the bottom of the salad bowl a small crust of dry bread which has been rubbed with a clove of garlic. Lay the salad leaves on top of this and set in the ice box until ready to serve. For the dressing mix well together in a bowl or deep saucer one teaspoonful chopped tarragon, an eighth of a tea spoonful pepper, a half teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonsful white wine or eider vinegar and four tablespoonsful of olive oil. Shake or stir until well blended, pour over the.chlckory leaves, remove the crust of bread and serve with game or fowl. French Dressing. With many people the French dress ing is usually hit or miss. There is, however, a set formula that insures having the proportions right every time. Put into a bowl or bottle a half teaspoonful salt and a saltspoon pep per. Add four tablespoonsfuls olive oil. stir with a fork or shake It In a bottle. Add one tablospoonful lemon juice or vinegar, mix thoroughly and pour over the salad. Pecan Nut and Cabbage Salad. Shred the cabbage fine, salt and let It stand about 15 minutes before blend ing with about half the quantity of broken pecan meats. Dress with a French dressing and garnish with half pieces of pecans. This is a favorite Mexican combination. Emma Paddock Telford. HINTS FOR SPRING. Jumpers of chiffon will be worn over lingerie waists. White glace kid gloves are worn with any evening costume. Panama hats will be very much In vogue for outing wear.

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH Wherever 8un’« Rays Penetrate Hu man Life le Quickened and Health and Happiness Promoted. The sunlight, with its mellowing warmth and radiance, is one of the great essentials to good health. Where ever it penetrates, in prudently regu lated moderation, It quickens human life, promotes health and happiness, and may be truly regarded as one of the best friends of man and beast. Tbe common practice of providing bllnde. shutters, curtains and other means for shrouding the windows and shutting out the sunshine, is undoubt edly a great mistake, and makes for physical weakness and ill health. More window light, more sunshine, and not less, is what we require. Let all your apartments, kitchen, sitting rooms, parlors and bedrooms, too, be flooded with sunlight as much as possible.

Mix these with half a pint of good whisky. Shake well. Take one to two tenspoon fuls after each meal and at bed time. Smaller doses to children according to age.” Any one can prepare this at home.

Hustlers. "A good turkey dinner and mince pie," said Simeon Ford, “always puts us in a lethargic mood—makes us feel, in fact, like the natives of Nola Chucky. "In Nola Chucky one day I said to a man: “ ’What is the principal occupation of this town?’ ” ‘Wall, boss,’ the man answered, yawning, ’in winter they mostly sets on the east side of the house and toi lers the sun around to the west, and In summer they sets on the west side and follers the shade around to the east.’ ” EYES WOULD BURN AND STING “It is just a year ago that my sis ter came over here to us. She had been here only a few weeks when her eyes began to be red, and to burn and sting as if she had sand in them. Then we used all of the home reme dies. She washed her eyes with salt water, used hot tea to bathe them with, and bandaged them over night with tea leaves, but all to no purpose. She went to the drug store and got some salve, but she grew constantly worse. She was scarcely able to look in the light. At last she decided to go to a doctor, because she could hardly work any more. The doctor said it was a very severe disease, and If she did not follow his orders close ly she might lose her eyesight. He made her eyes burn and applied elec tricity to them, and gave her various ointments. In the two and a half or three months that she went to the doctor, we could see very llttlo im provement “Then we had read so much how people had been helped by Cuticura that we thought we would try it, and we cannot be thankful enough that we used it. My sister used the Cuticura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed only with Cuticura Soap, and at night after washing, she anointed her eyes very gently on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the swelling was entirely gone from the eyes, and after a month there was no longer any mucus or watering of the eyes. She could already see better, and in six weeks she was cured.” (Signed) Mrs. Julia Csepicska, 2005 Utah St., St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 26, 1910. Dog Dies From Grief. A dog’s striking attachment to his master is recorded from Vllleneuve Saint-Georges. While attending the funeral of a municipal councillor’s wife M. Constantin, a resident of that village, contracted congestion of the ! ngs, from which he died suddenly. He had a dog, a small fox terrier, which never left him. Since the death of M. Constantin the poor animal re fused food and passed whole days at the cemetery moaning on the tomb of his dead master. Yesterday the ter rier was found dead.—le Figaro.
