GIFT FOR AN INVALID.
Unique, anil Charming Idea for IBrlnir
liitf Holiday Smmliine Into a
Slck-llooin.
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.

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-

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

A Matrimonial Krpenter Who Uof

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.

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
