BRE 3 yt ' Bellefonte, Pa., August 16, 1912. BLIGHTING A SOCIAL CAREER. Mrs. Trumbull's social aspirations | were, as a rule, the source of much | flippant joy to her husband. It was only when Trumbull himself was called upon to shine at dinner parties | or disport in drawing rooms that he ! ceased to consider in the light of a, joke hie wife's desire to set her small ' feet firmly upon the next higher rung | of the ladder. { The cream of the joke looked to him | particularly pale and blue the evening | she announced triumphantly that Mrs. | Fulton, the one wealthy woman of | their acquaintance, had invited the | Trumbulls to sit in her box at the opera the following Thursday evening. “I'm perfectly willing for you to epend your nights and Sundays pursu- ing the aristocracy to its lair,” pro- tested Trumbull, “but you know I'm not a parlor pet. I'm all right as a means of support, but I'm sure to make a donkey of myself if I try to do the society act. Can't you go clone?” Mrs, Trumbull set her lips. “That would be impossible,” she said. “But, of course, if you don't want to go I can tell Mrs. Fulton that you have a business engagement that will prevent our golug.” It was not until her lips began to quiver that Trumbull reulized how much it meant to her. He promised to go. The night of the theater party the weather turned cold. Trumbull, in blissful forgetfulness of the festivity, entered the house in a whirl of snow and icy wind. “Is that you, dear?’ cried Mrs. Trumbull from upstairs, where she was fluttering about getting Trum- bull's evening regalia ready for him to put on. “Yep,” responded Trumbull, follow- ing the sound of her voice up the stairs, His face fell when he saw the clothes lying on the bed. “Oh!” he ejaculated in a voice from which all joy had fled. “I'd forgotten this was the evening of the blowout.” He shiv- ered audibly. “It's an awful night.” Mrs. Trumbull tripped over to the dresser and began a search for his tie. “I ordered a taxi,” she said, cheerily. “It's to be here promptly at a quarter to eight.” In the taxicab Mrs. Trumbull looked at her husband in undisguised satisfaction. “You'll be the best looking man there,” she purred. “I don’t care if Mr. Fulton's ancestors did come over with the pilgrim fathers and if they do have a butler and five maids and a governess, he's nothing but a little, dried-wp shrimp. Anybody seeing you two together won't hesitate a minute about selecting you as the one with the money.” The spontaneity of this wifely trib- ute pleased Trumbull. He even grew less sleepy under the enlivening influ. ence of her honeyed words. How- ever, this didn’t prevent his having a fleeting wish as he seated himself iu the chair just behind his hostess that he had had another strong cup of cof- fee. Of course he wasn't really sleepy, but a cold wind always gave him a queer feeling. Mrs. Trumbull, glancing at his big, | well-groomed figure and his clever, good-natured face, and now and then catching the low, well-bred tones of his voice, felt that it wopld take very little more to make her sinfully proud of him. Every interested glance cast up from the seats below them sent a separate thrill of delight through her. She was fairly radiant. ‘When the first act was about half over her satisfaction was dispelled by an all too familiar sound. She cast a terrified glance toward the rear of the box, What she saw caused her to start wildly to her feet. Too late! Trumbull’'s head had fallen to one side, his eyes were closed, his mouth was open. A sound closely resembling the distant rumbling of a railroad train came from his parted lips. From a rumble it quickly grew into a very good imitation of an automobile horn. Higher and higher it rose, until the startling crescendo broke in a fierce, choking leviathan of a snore! The host jumped to his feet with the obvious intention of rendering first aid to the injuré¢d. The hostess ‘gave a sharp, quite involuntary shriek. Mrs. Trumbull stonily fixed her unsee- ing eyes upon the glittering stage. Trumbull, awakened by the vocifera- tion, but unconscious of the cause of his awakening and considerably re- freshed by his little nap, sat looking about for the cause of the disturbance, with the frank, innocent, interested eyes of a child. Mrs. Trumbull devotes most of her time now to settlement work. She re- gards the empty life of the society woman with a scornful pity. i Legal Length of Hatpins. Any woman that appears in public in the state of Michigan wearing a hatpin that is more than 10 inches long is guilty of a felony and may be fined $600, imprisoned for two years, or both. George Lord, of Detroit, is the author of this law, introducing it as an amendment to the law forbid- ding the carrying of dangerous weap- ons. He thought it would be taken as a joke, but it was taken so seriously that it passed both houses without a dissenting vote. ——There are many good newspapers published, but none that is quite as good ae the DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN.

MAKING HOUSEKEEPING EASIER. Have plain woodwork when it is giv- en you to choose. Woodwork finished with a good var- nish may be cleaned easily with a damp cloth. Have the work table covered with zine and save scrubbing. Varnish the shelves after a coat of paint, and they will clean as easily as tiling. Keep plenty of soft paper to wipe out greasy dishes, pots, and pans, and save the dish washing. Keep a bundle of newspapers handy to set soiled and smoky pans on. A window shade fastened to a set of open shelves makes a fine curtain to keep out the dust. Use a mop with a large dust-cloth | and save stooping in dusting floors. Plan the meals a week ahead, at least, and save unnecessary friction. The areas of travel in the home should be covered with rugs; light ones, easy to dust and clean. Rubber heels are a great saving of both floors and nerves; yours and oth- ers. The nervous system pays toll alike for jarring sights and sounds. When ironing, place a folded rug or piece of carpet to stand on. The amount of ease this will give the feet has only to be tried to be appreciated. A rug should not extend under the bed, as this complicates cleaning. mall rugs are best for a bedroom, one before the dresser, washstand and bed are necessary. Eliminate many of the rocking chairs from the living room and have more room to move about. Get rid of tufted and cushioned fur- niture as soon as possible. Dust is the greatest friend of diseases and much of dust lingers in upholstered furniture. Aside from ventilation, windows are made to look out of and for light to look in. Do not load them with heavy hangings. Much of the so-called china on plate rails catching dust would look better in a closed closet. The decorations of the walls in the dining-room are usually considered sufficient ornament.

When there are several slices of fresh bread left from a meal, it is often wiser to make them into sand- wiches at once and serve them the same day than put them in the bread box and overlook them until dry. Sandwiches will keep fresh and pal- atable if put into a dish and covered with a damp cloth, and a plate to keep in the moisture. Many little dainty bits may be used to fill these sand- wiches. Cooked chicken livers chopped and mixed with melted butter, a little lem- on juice, cayenne, salt and chopped olives. This filling is good without olives and resembles pate de fols gras. Moisten flaked smoked white fish with butter, add chopped pickles, sea- son with mustard paste and a dash of cayenne; used as a filling for white bread sandwiches. Another—Finely minced salmon and cucumber mixed with salad dressing. Finely minced celery and chopped peanuts mixed with salad dressing. Sardine Sandwiches~Remove the skin and bones from sardines, mash Either For Service or for Appearance, There Are Any Number of De- signs to Choose. Slippers in rich shades of dark red, blue and violet combined with gold |; and silver are worn with gowns intro- ducing those tones. These metal brocades can trace their popularity to the rich oriental ef- | fects introduced by the evening gowns. The slippers of paler tints in kid and satin are not considered “good style” for the present in Paris. The sandal slipper is generally well liked. With four or five shapes orna- mented with cut steel buckles, richly beaded, embroidered or jeweled, they fittingly dress the feet for formal oc- casions. A number of these have elastic goring at the sides, causing them to fit snugly. Many of these appear in the popular combination of black and white. Another recent development in the world of fashion is the wearing of black patent leather slippers with white hosiery. Tan-colored leathers are the correct thing for street wear. They har- monize with the tans and browns that are the popular colors for the tailored suit. Slippers for less formal wear feature the military heel in preference to the Louis Quinze. NOVELTIES TO MARK TIME All Sorts and Varieties of Clocks and Watches Are in Etyle at the Pres- ent Moment. Father Time is no longer t¢ pass disregarded even hy the most care- less of pleasure seekers, for the dial is everywhere to found. Every wom- an is wearing a watch, not on the left breast of her blouse, as formerly, but on her bracelet of slender gold, wire or twisted silver, in the back of her vanity case which hangs from her chatelaine and in the handle top of her umbrella. The large clock is no longer tolerat- ed in the drawing room or the morning room, but Father Time is in these apartments just the same, since small watches are set into the photo- | graph frames or steriing silver or oval shape and set on ball feet; of round shape and easel type; of the Marie Antoinette order in French gilt, and of ivory-finished white celluloid on first empire lines. On the dressing table of the mon- daine one is apt to find Time in the shape of a clever little contrivance of silver gilt filigree. By touching a spring underneath this toy clock, all four sides let down, the top falls flat and on the inner side of each section fs attached a fancy case for pins, a tiny puff for powder ,a smelling bottle and a miniature mirror. Spices as Stimulants. Many of our ordinary spices have a stimulating effect upon the system which may greatly increase for a time the physical endurance of the consumer. The loggers of the cold Northern woods drink pepper tea as a stimulant and an anti- dote to cold during the dangerous run- Ding of the logs from the forest to the 1 is, therefore, an essential ging camp. Ginger is another ing spice whose value is well Both the leaves and shoots of the ginger plant are eaten in Bengal, and the cattle sent into the jungle to liberally fed every day with shoots to counteract the effects of the them to a paste with hard-cooked | vation. egg yolk; season with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice. Cheese Sandwiches~Equal quanti ties of grated cheese and butter creamed together. Spread on bread and sprinkle with minced water cress. Mix together chopped nuts, and rais- ins and a little lemon juice. Heat through, let cool and spread on gra- ham crackers. Press together lightly and put into a moderate oven to crisp. Orange marmalade makes nice fill- ing for sandwiches. Cream cheese and chopped cherries is another good filling. Mee. lee. Rapin. . a.
