Ribbons Everywhere,
ltlbbon bows urc Introilucctl every
where this Benson. They appear on
the high walHt belts, on the cuffs, and
down the front of the gowns, being
scattered Impartially wherever a how
enn possibly llnd a place. As a trim
ming they nro very small and dainty,
often supplemented with a button or
a minute buckle, while as a contrast
the Bash bows are, In many Instances,
very wide and spreading, some of them
tnklng tho form of Immense rhoux
composed of loops of soft ribbon,
which in white and roso have the ap
pearance of mammoth peonies. A
charming evening "tea gown." fash
ioned of pink soft satin veiled with
white chiffon, which was covered in
turn with black spotted net, was
swathed round the bust and across
tne back with wide striped black and
white taffeta ribbon with a roverso
slde of palo pin;, tied In a largo but
terfly bow In front, and there were
wide ribbon bands on the wrist fin
ished with little bowB on tho inner
side.
Gooseberry Wine.
Gather the gooseberries when they
are about half ripe in dry weather;
pick them clean and put a peck at a
tlmo In an earthenware pan or tub
and bruise them with n pieco of wood,
being as careful as possible not to
break tho seeds. Put the pulp Into a
canvas bng and squeeze out tho Juice
into a pan or tub. To every gallon of
pounds of sugar, and when the sugar
Is quite dissolved pour the liquor Into
a cask which will just hold it. If
the quantity Is nine gallons, let It
stand to settle for a fortnight; if
twenty gallons, thirty or forty days.
Keep In a cool place, then draw It
off from the lees and put It Into an
other barrel of the same size or Into
the same after emptying the lees and
making it clean. Let a cask of ten
pillons or less stand for about three
months, and one of twenty gallons for
five months, when it will be fit to bot
tle. This wine keeps well and im
proves with age.
For a Lawn Fete.
The new costumes arc almost In
vnriably of two and contrasting mate
rials. In a smart costume, destined to
be worn at a lawn fete, lace and em
broidered shantung nro employed
about equally; and tho design is furth
er enhanced by leafy emhrolderles ex
ecuted solid In black. The blouse is
of tho filet lace with omplecements of
shantung, tho embroideries posed to
good effect. The upper portion of the
sleeve is of laco and the puff of tho
silk ending at tho elbow. The skirt Is
of shantung with lace bandings, these
running both vertically and horizon
tally and little pufMngs of the silk
frilled edges alternate with the laco
bandings from knee to hem. Tho
Swiss belt is in black chiffon and
long sash ends float in tho back.
Fancy Blouse Walet.
Blouse waists mado full below deep
yokes are essentially smart and arc
shown In all tho fashionable soft and
thin materials. This ono is peculiarly
attractive, as it Includes a narrow
vest and soft, draped scarf. The
model Ib mado of palo bluo chiffon
loulslno with trimming of black silk
banding and tie of black mcssallne,
and is eminently effective, but the
trimming can bo ono of many things
nud tho mntorlal anything soft enough
to nllow of gathors. Fancy openwork
braid of tho required width makes
satisfactory bands and any of tho
narrow braids, laco or other unndlngs
can bo applied as illustrated.
Tho waist consists of the lining,
which can bo used or omitted as pre
ferred, full fronts, back, yoko and vest
with the cheraisotto and collar. Tho
sleeves nro mado wldo and full abovo
the deep, closo-flttlng cuffs. Tho scarf,
which outlines tho vest, Is bias and
can bo slipped under tho banding, as
in tho case of the model, or held in
place in any way that may bo pre
ferred. Tho quantity of material required
for tho medium slzo is 4 yards 21
inchca wldo, VA yards 27 inches wido
or 2 yards 44 Inches wide, with
yards of silk for scarf.
Dainty Handkerchiefs.
Handkerchiefs were never more
dainty. The newest ones have a hit
of color woven in, not embroidered.

Up-to-Datc Sleeves.
That the sleeves determine the dak
as well as the style of a garment Irt
true of shirt waists as well as of
wraps and more elnborate blouses.
These very excellent models are mndo
In the latest styles and allow a cholco

Peacock Feather Decorations.
Though the peacock feather Is con
sidered unlucky, It is lending itself to
many forms of fashionable decoration.
Last winter the Jeweler adopted it,
and. aided by sapphire and emerald,
turned out some unique and beautiful
brooches, hat pins and belt pins In
peacock feather form. Now the mak
er of fine glass and pottery is adopt
ing its charms. The very newest
flower holder for table decoration Is
a large lint bowl of delicate green
glass. Into Its flaring, flower-like top
are brought peacock feathers, and di
rectly over the receptaclo for water
rests a brass, coarse meshed net
framework, slightly raised In the mid
dle. Tho flowers are thrust In through
this, leaving the feather decoration in
full view. The effect Is novel and ar
tistic. Honey Gingerbread.
Sift a pint of flour and stir into this
half n pint of sour cream or milk. If
tho latter Is used, a tablespoonful of
butter should be added by way of
shortening. Sift with tho flour half a
teaspoonful of ground ginger and the
same of fine cinnamon, nnd stir In
two tnblespoontuls of sugar and two
of honey (strained). Mix and beat tho
batter thorough!?; and, when ready
for tho oven, stir in hnlf a teaspoon
of soda that has been dissolved In a
little warm (not hot) water. Bake
about three-quarters of an hour, tak
ing care not to burn, and then cut
Into squares and servo hot with plen
ty of honey.
To Wash White Lace Veils.
These should bo washed ns follows:
Put tho veils Into a strong lather of
whlto soap and very clear water, and
let them simmer slowly, for a quarter
of an hour. Tnko out and squeeze
well, but do not rub. Rinse twlco in
cold water, tho second time with n
drop or two of liquid glue. Have ready
some very clear, weak gum arable, or
thin starch or rice water; pass tho
veils through It, and clean them by
clapping. Then stretch them out
evenly nnd pin out to dry on a cloth,
opening out each scallop and fasten
ing with pins. When dry, lay a piece
of thin muslin over nnd iron on the
wrong side.
Good Dry Shampoo.
Some one suggests that In place of
a soap and water shampoo a dry salt
rub is a good thing for tho hair onco
In a while. Loosen the hair, then rub
tnble snlt thoroughly Into tho roots,
and brush it out again carefully. Tho
dust nnd dirt come with it, Just as
they do when salt Is sprinkled over a
carpet prior to sweeping it. Tho ef
fect of tho salt on tho scnlp is describ
ed as not only highly cleansing, but
also tonic.
Coffee Ice Cream.
For coffee Ico cream, scald together
one and a half cupfuls of milk, a cup
ful of sugar and five tablespoonfuis
of ground coffee. Strain, add tho
yolks of four eggs and four table
spoonfuls of sugar and cook over hot
water until tho custard thickens.
Then stir In a quart of cream, strain,
cool nnd freeze.
Use for Lace Collar.
A novel way of using a collar of
handsome lace is to mount It on a
silk shoulder collar having long stolo!
fronts. When edged with a frill or
niching of the silk It mikes u moBt,
useful and becoming accessory tc tho
toilet.
TO PHEVENT 9EASICKNE3S.
German Inventor Thinks His Appli
ance Would.
And now comes n preventlvo of
sea sickness not In tho shape of
medicine, but In the shape of an In
vention to control the ship itself and
pi event thnt rolling that makes so
many voyagers seek their cnblns nud
wish they hadn't come.
The Invention Is nothing moro thnn
a huge top, kept continually spinning
In the Inside of the ship. As every
boy knows, n top refuses to He down,
tip, lean over or do anything but
stand up straight when it Is going
good and fast.
When It begins to slow down, it
newent wvoiveD in
snnMNO top rra
POWER TO HOtD
UPRIGHT roiiwN
wobbles moro and moro till it falls
over.
The force which keeps tho top
standing up Is n lot bigger than ono
would think. Try to knock It down.
You can knock It clear across tho
room, but as long as It Is spinning
fast It will stand up.
In the hend of Mr. O. Schllck of
Hamburg, Germany, tho Idea sprout
ed of putting such n big top inside
a boat that old ocean wouldn't bo
able to wiggle It about. By fixing tho
toil and bottom of the top's axis In
the boat, he makes the boat as steady
as the top.
For an ocean liner his "top" would
have to be a heavy metal flywheel of
about twenty-five feet In diameter.

How Codicil Was Destroyed.
Mr. Oswald Billiard, a cyclo agent

testator nnmed Edmunn Brook Nunn

was riding a motor-trlcyclo to Ijondon,
when tho mnchlne caught flro, nnd ho
used ills coat to put out the flames.
The codicil was in tho pocket and
was burned. Pressed by counsel, ho
cnrcfully opened a brown paper par

He also said that tho testator had
given him power to use or destroy
the codicil as ho liked.

Decoyed Rat Into Trap and Flnlsheo

"A weasel Is a wizard as well as ii

ramp that was near n largo stack of
lumber. It seemed that n large nuin

under the lumber pile, and one day a
weasel put In its appearance. Wo
had the plensuro of seeing a bnttlo
royal every day for several days, and
by and by tho weasel had killed every
rat In tho rolonfy except one which
wns nearly as large as a cat.
"They fought several times a day,
and tho weasel always got tho worst
of It. One day wo noticed It Indus
triously digging a holo under the
woodpile, and thought little of It. A
little after wo saw It challenge the rat
to battle, and as soon ns tho fight he
gnn to warm up the weasel suddenly
turned tail and sneaked to tho hole
like all possessed. The rnt followed
In hot pursuit, and both disappeared
In the mouth of the weasel's hole. It
wns only a twinkling until the weasel
reappeared, and Hashed Into the hole
again.
"We watched a long time and nelth

JEW THAT SHAKESPEARE DREVy.
Most people appear to think that
Shy lock must either be a demon or
a savior. He Is, in truth, a mixture
of both -the innn the Jew! Oneo
more the poet shows the Impartiality
of the Judge In dealing with Hhyloek.
He presents in him the lers lis well
as the virtues of his rnee. Domestic
ity Is one ot the Hebraic lrliioH. The
love of his diiupghter commends him
to our sympathies- anon his vengeful
and cruel nnturo commands our cen
sure. It Is, therefore, liillrulmiH to
present Sliyloch as u merely sympa
thetic character. Of course, the cul
mination ol suffering creates sym
pathy with any man. and. while laugh
ing at his pretensions, we weep at
his griefs. There can be no doubt
that at the time Shakespeare wrote
"The Merchant of Venice" the Jews
were not regarded with high favor,
and Shylock's first speech shows ho
Is Informed by the spirit ol revenge.
I do not deny that Shylock had Just
cause to be angry, and It has been
said that revenge Is a primitive1 form
of Justice. But Just when we begin
to think that Shylock Is becoming
the maityr-hero of the play, and thnt
nil our sympathies are mennt for him,
Shakespeare, the altruist, enieis upon
tho .scene and gives us the Immortal
speech on the quality of mercy, which,
bursting the walls or tho nnrrow
court, preaches to humanity 'tho etor
mil message of Christian forgiveness.

WHEN VISITING IS PLEASURE.
After all Is said and done, visiting
friends must always bu tho most dell
eato of pleasures. Of all formB of
soclnl enjoyment, n well-chosen house
party Is perhaps the moBt complete
and satisfactory. It Is only during
such short vacations (and on board
ship) that tho galling, harnesn of ov-ery-day
routine drops completely from
one's weary shoulders; it is there
only thnt wo escape entirely from tho
myriad llttlo caron nnd worries that

to find how most of our truest friend

Golf Is n grand old game, of course,
but Its widespread popularity In this
country, Its marvelous growth hero In

tho Interest that Is taken In It by

NAVAL GUNNERY RECORDS.
It appears from a tabulated state

tnrget practico issued by tho navy de

hnvc attained a very high degree of

and the Asiatic battleship squadrons
havo dlbtlngulshed themselves by rec
ords of 87.27 per cent nnd 82.84 per

not done so well as the battleships.
The explanation Is simple enough.
Tho largor vessel constitutes a stead
