Is there among your friends a weary Invalid for whom you are longing to do something beautiful and helpful at the coming holiday season? If so, you can not do better than to undertake the preparation of a wonder bag for Christ mas. A wonder bug is a large bag filled with gifts from many friends, which are to be drawn out on special days, according to accompanying direc tions. It may be .arranged to last for any length of time—three months, six months or a year—drawings being made once, twice or thrice a week, as may seem best. Since the recipient of the bag is not given a list of the donors, nor informed of the character of the gifts, a double surprise awaits her at such drawing. This contributes not a little to the novelty and charm of the scheme. Make a strong bag of suitable mate rial —cretonne, denim, canvas or linen. Embroider it with initials, a monogram or other suitable design, and finish it with stout draw-strings of broad rib bon. Since it is to hang in the sick room for so long a time it should be made not merely durable and servicea ble, but also dainty and attractive. Wrap each article in tissue paper, us ing many tints; mark it with the name of the donor, and tie it securely with narrow ribbon of a contrasting color, leaving one end long enough to be used In drawing it out. Pack the parcels carefully in the bag, heavier ones at the bottom, and let the long ribbons hang outside at the top. Gifts appro- TIES AND BELTS FOR FLANNEL WAISTS. Several of the large stores are displaying new ties and belts which come In •ets to be worn with flannel or cashmere shirt waists. These ties and belts are of bright stripes and brilliant plaids and will play a prominent part in the minor articles of the toilette during the season. They are usually seen to match each other or are as near alike as possible. The belt clasps are varied and beau tiful. Many have the United States flag on one side and military emblems on the other. priate for special days, such as the invalid's birlliday, July 4, April 1, East er Sunday, February 22, a "very weary day," a "stormy Sunday," etc., may be designated by tiny cards attached to their ribbons. Most of the gifts, how ever, should be left without dates in order that the invalid may have the privilege once in awhile of deciding which ribbon to draw. —Belle M. Brain, In Woman's Home Companion.

They Knjoy Krrrilom of Sprfrh and When lletaln Full Control of All Their Propert). Divorce is rare among the Turkish peasantry and tlie peasant women seem far happier than their wealthier sis ters. The peasant man of Turkey is an upright, wholesome fellow, is kirul to his wife and family and not capricious, as is the Turk of luxury. Turkish la dies of rank are as addicted to cigar ettes and coffee as are th.dt husbands. Every Turkish lady starts in her day with a cup of coffee and several cigar- IX STREET COBTUME. ettes. Then she has her bath, a long, perfumed, comfortable affair. After that she attends to the comforts of her husband, lighting his hubble-bubble, or water-pipe, bringing his fresh robe, hot coffee and slippers. If a man of affairs he attends to his mail while his wife sits near, the children trooping in for caresses and to beg for money to buy sweetmeats. The custom of giving pence daily to the children is so uni versal that it is practiced even by the poor. Except the women of China no women enjoy such freedom of speech as do the Turkish women, for there is ab solutely nothing they cannot and will not say. A married woman retains full control of her property, for a Turk nevt r dreams of interfering with his wife's disposal—no matter how whimsical — of her money and chattels. Turkish wemen are careless mothers. They as sist in the household work, no matter how many servants they have, just to pass the monotonous time away. HOW TO COOK MUSH. \Vlic»n Prepared According to the Di rectioiiH Here Given It I» In deed a Hoyal lilnh. It would be hard to find a cook too modest to claim a knowledge of mush making; yet how many, even among ex perienced housekeepers, make good mush? Boiling water, cornmeal and salt —what simpler than to put them together and cook them? Yet mufch of indifferent meal properly made nuty be better than that made of the best meal wrongly handled. The water must be freshly boiled and salted, and all the meal us it goes in must encountei the same fiercely-boiling temperature, to burst the starch-cells, as direct heat "pops" corn. Therefore, making mush takes time, for the meai must be added so slowly as not to stop the boiling, as well as to avoid lumps. A thick iron pot, porcelain lined, is the best thing to cook it in, and a wooden spoon or paddle should be used for the stirring. Sprinkle the meal in slowly with the left hand while stirring with the right. The proportions of the ingredients will vary with the quality of the meal or its character (whether crushed or cut), ! but an average rule would be four quarts of water, one quart of meal and : two tablespoonfuls of salt. When all the meal has been smoothly stirred in, cover the pot closely, and stand it where it will give an occasional bubble for three or four hours—or for hall a day. Do not disturb the surface, as stirring permits the "extractives" or flavors to escape. Mush made of good meal by the above method, and served with rich cream, is a royal dish. —Elia Morris Kretsebinar, in Woman's llom« Companion. Only Important (tnmllun.

I was riding along the road leading across Hurricane gap, in the Pine mountain range, thinking of the peculiar people who lived in these fastnesses, when J was startled by a voice up the hillside calling to me to come up and give somebody a lift. I had no idea who owned the voice, but whoever it was was in trouble, and I re sponded and found a man of 60 or more :auglit by the foot under a fallen tree and unable to get away. He wasn't hurt, and soon had him on his feet, and he insisted on my stopping further down the mountafn and taking dinner with him. He lived in a well-kept cabin with his daughter, and after dinner we sat in the shade of a tree in the yard and he told me about himself. "Air you married?" he asked, after he told me he was a widower. "No, but I hope to be some day," I an swered, quite sincerely. "You ought to be; every man ought to be; a man that ain't ain't showin' a rijjht fcelin' to'rds what the Lord's done fer him, thar ain't nothin' on the face uv God's freen earth that is a patchin' to a woman, don't keer what kind she is." "You're hale and hearty yet," I said, "and I don't see why you don't take some of your own advice." "Don't crowd the mourners, mister," he said, waving his hand as if warding off my attack. "Don't you crowd the mourners. I'm figgerin' on sever'l this very minute, and 1 ain't quite shore yit which one to pick. Pve been married four times, and every time my notion uv women has got so much higher that I'll be derned ef I don't kinder look forrerd to losin' a wife jist fer the satisfaction uv gittin' another jne." The idea was so entirely new that I was Dverconie by it. —Washington Star. NOT ESTABLISHED. trlatlonshlp Ilnsecl on Remote Per sonage* Was Difficult to Prove. There is a young lady not far away who has a little private school and the other day she overheard the following conversation among her pupils: It was Monday and one of them had evi dently been much impressed with her Sun day school lesson of the day before, for as soon as another little girl came in, she as tounded her by the announcement: "You arp my sister." "I'm not," said No. 2. "You are," said No. 1, "haven't you got a Father in Heaven?" "Yes," grudgingly. "Well, so have I. Don't that make you my sister?" No. 2 was entirely nonplussed at that and No. 1 correspondingly victorious; so when another little girl arrived upon the scene she thought she would try the same thing on her, too, and walking up before the new comer announced as before "You are my sister." Now No. 3 happened to be a young lady of a very determined disposition and she de clared just as firmly that she was nothing of the sort, and the "I'm nots" and "You ares" flew very fast for a minute, until No. 1 brought out her knockdown argument: "Haven't you got a Father in Heaven?" and stood awaiting the answer with a vic torious smile. But imagine her chagrin and the teacher's amazement when the other sputtered forth: "No, I haven't, and you know it. I've just got one grandfather up there!" and strode on to her seat, leaving the enemy vanquished behind her.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Her Guess. lie —For a week I have not slept an hour •t a time. I have tossed upon my bed night after night, only to arise weary and de pressed in the mornings. I cannot eat. I come and go and am weighed down with one all-pervading thought. It is with me in my waking hours. It is with me in my dreams. She —Ah, it is too bad. I'm sorry for you. "Marie, have you not guessed what it is that troubles me?" "Yes. You're afraid there may be another call for men and you'll have togo and fight." An hour afterward he was still walking around in a circle and wondering whether she really meant it or not. —Chicago Evening News. Confession of a Millionaire.
