Her Excuse.
A bright girl asked to be absent
from school half a day on the plea
that company was coming.
“It is my father’s half-sister and her
three boys,” said the girl, anxiously,
“and mother doesn't see how she can
do without me, because those boys act
dreadfully.”
The teacher referred her to the
printed list of reasons which justified
absence, and asked if her case came
under any of them.
“Oh, yes, Miss Smith,” said the girl,
eagerly, “it comes under this head,”
and she pointed to the words, “Do
mestic affliction.”
Tommy's Explanation.
Little Tommy told his mother that
he thought it too rainy for him to
venture forth to school, relates the
New York Tribune.
“But it will not be too rainy this
afternoon for you to play ball, will
It?” asked his mother.
“No, mother,” replied little Tommy,
respectfully, “because you can always
play better ball in the rain than in
the sunshine.”
“I don’t see how, Tommy.”
“■Why,” replied Tommy, “it’s be
cause when it is raining there is lots
of mud, and that makes it so slippery
that you can slide on your stomach
better."
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating, but indigestion corrupts good
morals.
WRONG SORT
Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and
Bread may Be Against You for a
Time.
A change to the right kind of food
can lift one from a sick bed. A lady
in Welden, 111., says:
"Last Spring I became bed-fast with
severe stomach trouble accompanied
by sick headache. I got worse and
worse until I became so low I could
scarcely retain any food at all, al
though I tried every kind. I had be
come completely discouraged, had giv
en up all hope and thought I was
doomed to starve to death, till one
day my husband trying to find some
thing I could retain brought home
some Grape-Nuts.
“To my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress. I began to gain strength
at once, my flesh (which had been
flabby) grew firmer, my health im
proved in every way and every day,
and in a very few weeks I gained 20
pounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nuts
so well that for 4 months I ate no
other food, and always felt as well sat
isfied after eating as if I had sat down
to a fine banquet.
"I had no return of the miserable
sffek stomach nor of the headaches,
that I used to have when I ate other
food. I am now a well woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that
life Is worth living.
"Grape-Nuts food has been a god
send to my family; It surely saved my
life and my two.little boys hav6 thriv
en on it wonderfully.” Name given

This Gearing is Seasonable.
Washable gloves have become abso
lutely indispensable to the summer
girl. Not only do they save her hands
from the ravages of the burning sun
without inducing perspiration, but
they are always immaculately clean
and fresh. Each night the pair she
has worn during the day gets its tub
bath in warm soapsuds and is dry
and ready for use the following day.
Fabric gloves, whether in lisle or
linen mesh, are so skillfully woven
now that they have lost all of the
scratchy feeling which has long been
their objectionable feature. The girl
who is peculiarly sensitive to this irri
tation will find lisle gloves lined with
the most supple of China silk.
Fashionable shades, such as old
rose and old blue, are lined with cneck
silk or silk embroidered vnth polka
dots or tiny flowers. Linen mesh
gloves, so popular during the warm
months last year, are more than ever
in evidence this summer, and the
stitchings on the back show most
elaborate handwork in self-tone 01
contrasting shade.
The New French Blouse.
Never have the separate blouses
seemed so altogether fascinating as at
present. The sheer materials which
the importer shows in such wonderful
array make these waists especially
attractive. The creation shown here
could not fail to increase the charms
Of any wearer. White crystal silk
serves of the entire waist, while cava
lier cuffs and stole collar are em
broidered in pastel shades. Narrow
black velvet in a Greek key patterns
gives character to the bodice and both
of these decorations are novel as well
as inexpensive. Applique, guipure or
the popular spangle can be used in
place of the embroidery. A bodice
suitable for formal occasions is effect
ed by omitting plastron and cuffs.
Cauliflower Soup.
One fine cauliflower, two tablespoon
fuls of butter rolled in one of corn
starch, one onion, bunch of parsley,
two blades of mace, two quarts of wa
ter, two cups of milk, pepper and salt,
a pinch of soda in the milk. Cut the
cauliflower into bunches, reserving
about a cupful of small clusters to put
whole into the soup. Chop the rest,
also the onion and herbs, and put on
in the water with the mace. Cook an
hour and then rub through a colander.
Return the puree thus obtained to the
pot and season with pepper and salt.
As it boils, stir in the whole clusters,
previously boiled tender in hot, salted
water, and left to cool. When the soup
Is again hot, put in the butter and
cornstarch; stir until this has thick
ened; pour into the tureen and add
the boiling milk. Pass sliced lemon
and cream crackers with it.
Child's Garden Hat.
A little mite of a girl Is displayed in
a most wonderful creation of a gar
den hat planned and made by heT own
hands. The main body of the hat was
composed of a large-size palm-leaf fan.
The handle was removed and at that
end a round scoop was cnt to form the
crown; Shirred in puffs and ruches
over this scooped-out portion, com
pleting a puffy crown, was dainty pale
blue cheesecloth. Bordering the en
tire brim were full plaited ruffles and
ruches of the same colored fleecy ma
terial which formed a soft, becoming
frame to the piquant face of the
youthful wearer. Long, graceful
streamers caught at either side of the
back and intended to tie under the
chin added a finishing touch to this
dainty and exceedingly picturesque
style of garden hat.

Why You See Them.
Many a blouse sleeve pouched at
the waist is still slipping about the
world, in spite of the edict which this
spring banished wrist puffs in favor of
balloon tops.
Sometimes the reckless flying in
the face of fashion is due to the fact
That the wearer of the pouched sleeves
cannot afford to throw last year’s
blouses away, and isn’t smart enough
to turn the sleeves upside down her
self—which is the method of the in
genious to make last year’s sleeves
look like this year’s—and hasn’t yet
found a dressmaker who isn’t too busy
to do it for her. For where is the
dressmaker who will bother turning
sleeves upside down when she has
got whole rafts of brand new summer
gowns to make?
Rnubarb Wine Recipe.
Twelve quarts of rhubarb, cut and
bruised into small pieces, 10 quarts of
cold water, 15 pounds of sugar. Put
these together and let stand three
days, stirring two or three times a
day. Then put into a jar or crock,
and half ounce of gelatine dissolved
in a little of the wine; let it stand
two months, then strain and bottle.
A little coloring may be added, if de
sired. Without, it is white wine.

Home-Made White Waist
A pretty white waist which a girl
has had made at home has wide em
broidery for the base. This forms the
back, front and cuffs of the sleeves.
Four lengths of the embroidery are
used, two at the back and two in the
front. The scalloped edges just
meet in the back; the little pearl but
tons. placed one on each scallop, are
fastened with little loops which are
worked on the other. The front is
similarly made. The scallops caught
together permanently. On either side
the plain edges of the embroidery are
tucked yoke deep to give the neces
sary fullness. The sleeves are of
plain lawn above the cuffs. A little
colored slip of silk is worn under the
waist and a line of pale green or blue
or whatever it may be rhows through
the openings left *here the scallops
meet and a tint of it through the ma
terial.
Neat Shirt Waist Suit.
A neat little shirt waist suit is that
of blue silk, trimmed with tucks. The
bodice is made with the fronts set into
the shoulder seams in pleats. The
surplice is finished with bands of silk,
in groups of tucks. These rever-llke
fronts are joined with buttons to a
plain band collar, which is made of
silk and edged with a stitched band
of silk.
The girdle Is of crushed silk, with a
blue enamel buckle. The skirt is walk
ing length and its only ornamentation
consists of a strip of silk in groups of
tucks, the strip of tucks outlined with
stitched bands of the material.
Never “One Too Many.”
One can never h^ve too many cush
ions in the summer time and, of
course, simple styles are best. A
practical pillow cover, cool and fresh
looking, was of cadet blue linen, show
Ing a lattice of one inch wide tape
two inches apart. This was not sewed
down to the denim, but was caught
with stitches at each square in a star
design with blue cotton. The tape,
looped all around, took the place of a
ruffle, though a ruffle of the denim
might be the finish if preferred.
A ship in heavy white linen thread
outlined on blue denim is effective on
a boat as a pillow cover, the edges
being crossed with a heavy rope-like
cord. Yellow daisies scattered over a
background of brown dennim is a pret
ty slip for the cushion of a dull green
porch chair, and the cost of either is
only a trifle.
Change in Hat Styles.
The rapidity with which one fashion
follows another in Paris is illustrated
by the almost total disappearance of
the little saucer hats perched on one
side of the head, or, in fact, anything
turned up in too exaggerated a fash
ion. Among well-dressed women
these are now no longer seen. On
the contrary, they wear broad, flat
shapes with falling lace draperies and
graceful, conventional arrangements
of plumee. To wear with the redlngo*^
or any form of the Directoire gar
ment are high-crowned hats with nar
row brims trimmed with tall plumes
arranged in a bunch on one side or
sometimes draping the crown.
Simple Linen Waist.
Blouse of linen gathered at the top
to a little round yoke which is cut
In one piece with the center plait, the
latter ornamented on one side with
buttons. The yoke, plait and little
pockets are all finished with two rows
of stitching.
The odd sleeves are full at the top
and form straps at the elbows, fast
ened with buttons to the bands, which
' ? w
trim the tight-fitting lower parts of
the sleeves. These bands are also
stitched and ornamented with buttons.
Popular Russian Styles.
Russian styles are holding their own
and a smart model for a girl of 10 is
in black and white mohair, showing
an emblem worked in red on the
breast and bishop sleeves brought into
self cuffs. A black patent leather belt
loosely confines the waist and with
this frock is worn a white linen Eton
collar and a red tie. Turn-back cuffs,
tied with red ribbon through button
holed slips, give the finishing touch
to a decidedly stylish and pretty
frock.
This New Hat Is Pretty.
A new style lingerie hat cover of
linen is most attractive. The crown
is original in the way it is fastened to
the brim, with tabs that are secured
over dainty pearl buttons. With a
pretty bright colored ribbon twisted
in and out through these tabs, and a
quill jauntily thrust through the rib
bon on one side, a chic hat covering is
complete and ready for a frame.
The costume at the left Is of grena
dine or voile. The bolero, made with
plaits at the shoulders, is bordered
with a bias band of taffeta of the same
shade, and with a plaiting of the
same. The waistcoat is of white linen
ornamented with buttons and finished
with a little embroidered collar. The
knot and girdle are of the taffeta and
the chemisette is of batiste. The full
sleeves are finished at the elbows with
frills of batiste and lace and bands
and knots of taffeta. The skirt is
made with groups of plaits alternating
with groups of box plaits and is ©n
circled at the bottom with bands and
plaitings of taffeta. The other cos
tume is of linen embroidered with
braid. The bolero, which crosses
slightly in front, is embroidered with
the braid and bordered with a little
frill of the material or of batiste. The
blouse is of batiste and the girdle oi
silk. The sleeves are finished at the
elbows with turnover cuffs of the
material embroidered with the braid,
and these are finished with frills of
batiste and lace. The skirt is trim
med at the bottom with baDds of the
material and the braid.

“FASHION NOTES FOR MEN” WAS
A FAILURE.
The Women, After Momentary Digres
l slon, Calmly Went on With the
Discussion of Various Appropriate
Wearing Apparel.
After Mrs. Ponsonby had talked
about dressmakers and dressmaking
until Mr. Ponsonby was weary, and
when Mrs. Dallington had for more
than two solid hours discussed gowns,
hats, wraps, corsets and feminine ap
parel in general, Arthur Ponsonby
flicked the ashes from his cigar and,
turning to Dallington, asked:
"By the way, Fred, where did you
buy your shirts?"
"I always get them at Creighley’s.”
"Do you like his style? I think Mud
gers makes the sweetest shirts I ever
wore. They fit just lovely over the
hips, and he seems to have a way of
puttlug in sleeves that is so cunning."
"Oh, I shall have to go to him when
I need shirts again. Where do you
get your trousers?"
"Mansell always makes mine. 1
wouldn’t think of going to any one
else. How much did you pay for that
vest. It’s just as sweet as it can be.”
"Yes, isn’t it pretty? Do you know,
I bought it ready made. I very sel
dom do such a thing, but it happened
to Just fit me and I couldn’t resist it.
Did Mansell make that coat your
wearing?"
I
“Yes. How do you like it? Do you
think it fits me just right across the
shoulders?”
“It’s perfect. I never saw anything
sweeter. You ought to wear gray all
the time. It’s really very becoming to
you. What a cunning tie you have.
Where do you get your ties?”
“Oh, I wouldn’t think of getting a
tie anywhere but at Murgenheim’s.
Do you like these socks I’m wearing?”
"Dear me! They’re awfully cute. I
bought some new ones last week, but
I like yours better than any of mine.
I’m going to have a new pair of trou
sers cut out just as soon as I can
get around to it. What do you think
would be a good style for me to get?
Would you have them shirred at the
knees?”
“No, I don’t like them that way, I
think I would have them tucked at
the ends and cut full at the sides,
with deckel-edged seams. Still, if you
like them gathered at the top, I—”
“Arthur,” exclaimed Mrs. Ponsonby,
“have you suddenly gone crazy?”
“Fred Dallington,” that gentleman’s
wife demanded, “what in the world is
the matter with you?”
The men shook their heads and de
nied that they had lost their wits.
Being reassured, Mrs. Ponsonby asked
Mrs. Dallington how she intended to
have her Indian head skirt made up.
“I think,” said Mrs. Dallington, “I
will have it plaited both in front and
behind. Do you remember that denim,
of mine?”
“Do you mean the pinkish one that
Mrs. Blytheleigh made for you?”
Defeated and shamed the two men
lit fresh cigars and sat back and were
silent.—S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record

An Effective Sample.
A clergyman was very fond of a
particularly hot brand of pickles, and
finding great difficulty in procuring the
same at hotels when traveling, always
carried a bottle with him. One day
when dining at a restaurant with his
pickles in front of him, a stranger
sat down at the same table and with
an American accent presently asked
the minister to pass the pickles. The
minister, who enjoyed the joke, polite
ly passed the bottle, and in a few min
utes had the satisfaction of seeing the
Yankee watering at the eyes and gasp
ing for breath.
“I guess.” said the latter, ‘‘that you
are a parson.”
‘‘Yes, my friend, I am,” replied the
minister.
‘‘I suppose you preach?” asked tbfc
Yankee.
“Yes, sir; I preach twice a weex
usually,” said the minister.
“Do you ever preach about hell
fire?” inquired the Yankee.
“Yes; I sometimes consider it my
duty to remind my congregation of
eternal punishment," returned the min
ister.
“I thought so,” rejoined the Yan
kee, “but you are the first of your
class I ever met who carried samples.”

An Experienced Bridegroom.
When my father, the late Rev. P.
B. Wilcox, was preaching in Maine,
he was notified that a couple were
waiting for him in the parlor, says a
writer in the Boston Herald. Upon
entering the room he recognized the
man as a two or three times widower,
and learned that the object of the vis
it was matrimony.
After ascertaining that the proper
legal steps had been taken, my father
said: “You will please rise and unite
your right hands.”
The man hesitated, looked at the
woman, then at my father, and finally
stammered: “We’ve usually sot.”

Dodd’s Kidney Pills and the*reason
why is given in experiences such as
that of Mr. T. T. Wold, a well-known
citizen here.
“I had such pains in my back that 1
did not know what to do,” says Mr.
Wold, “and as I came across an adver
tisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I
sent for a box. That one box reliev
ed me of all my pains. My wife also
used them and found them Just what
she needed. I recommend Dodd’s Kidr
ney Pills as a sure cure for Back
ache and other Kidney Troubles.”
Backache Is one of the earliest
symptoms of Kidney Disease. Dodd’s
Kidney Pills cure it promptly and per
manently and prevent it developing
into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or
Bright’s Disease.

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundfy use they
will save not only time, because it
never 6ticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.—one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 1(>
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If vour grocer tries to sell you
a 12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand De
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.
