- I
MY OUTDOOR STUDY.'
T HABOABST 8FXNCKB.
"Woxierful and laeoinatvng was an
article, written long ago by Thomas
AVentworth Higginson, ppon this sub
ject. I wiBh onr girls would read it
I can never forget the joy it gave me,
away back in the "war times." Perhaps
your gardens, like mine, hare fainted
and Buffered from this long snmmer's
drought. Our beet and dearest blos
soms have died, but the more sturdy
and enduring have gathered strength
for early frosts, and will die in glorious
colors. Onr beds are banked with gold
and scarlet. The tall asters, the sal
Tins, tha most glorious chrysanthe
mums, are in their ''prime. ' The
wide plumes of crimson coxcomb, and
the silvery pampas grass divide the
summer annuals from the winter ivies,
and nastuitiunia fill the low bed with
radiance.
Tbe only real life for onr girls is out
of doors; I mean all they can poosibiy
get. To some, aumtuer has brought
rest, vigor and health, by an outing in
suit waves, or by the purple mountains;
to others, work, poverty, and ill health,
but in some measure our great sun
shine and blue sky. Henry Ward
Xieecher used to say: Money buys
books and houses and food and raiment,
but 'out of doors' is like salvation,
without money, and without price.' "
"Ob, I am so tired 1" sighs Mary in
oflioe, store, or sewing room, nursery
or hot kitchen. All day, work, work,
work, till the sun goes down behind
tbe city spires. They go on crowded
cars, and the busy school-girl spends
the best hours of each day in the school
room. This is necessary, but there Is
a midday blessedness of sky, of sun
and cloud, a peep at the trees, if one
looks for it, a little walk in the sweet
air, and a good drink for the thirsty
ones. We exhaust all our mental
power; use, till threadbare, the nerv
ous foroe of brain and hand, but one
little hour or less of outdoor food will
build as up quicker than bottles of
tonio!
I know a large room in Washington
full of girls from sixteen to twenty
years old, perhaps older. They "feed '
oiJy plates for printers, and sew books
and out and fold, from eight to five!
Their long row of windows looking to
ward the east and south keeps them
slivel I see them at the short noon,
time, water and tend the window boxes
of scarlet geraniums, and white alys
snms, and with bits of twine train the
little vines to creep upward! Very
little thingnf but these girls are
stronger, better, purer in character for
the peep of blue sky, and the still,
grateful voice of the cheery friend in
the window! Aoroes the city street
into a court, or just a wall between
them ami tbe clouds, but God's face is
alvavsjn the sky!
Grammars and histories are impor
tant, but not half so necessary to a per
Ix't soul anl body as an intimate
knowledge of nature. We begin with
onr babies in their pretty carringca
standing deep in the grass under the
shady treo; and li t them sleep to the
sweet lulkbles of the rustling leaves
They begin life out of doorsl and
"Starry .Eyes" In the nursery, "sweet
est saint in all the calendar," kioks and
cries until the door opens, and she
goes outside nursery walls! Our girls
may have to do without costly sashes
and dainty boots, "yellow dog carts,"
and "lovely bats!'f but an outdoor
study is a child's inheritance I
Airs. Hayes, while in the White
House, askea the gardener to make
her small bouquets every morning, and
send to tbe family reception room (the
red room). She arranged them herself
on a 1 irge table, and gave them to call
ers as they said good-bye. A member
of her household told me that she said
one dayj "1'ou see, dear I have a
great many working girls and woman
come to see me, who have no flowers;
and live in close room. I love to walk
with them through the conservatory,
across the flower garden, and give them
a little fragrant bunch of pinks or
roses; It wakes thfin (row. 1 grow
myself in doing it!"
We have a little man of nine, who
leads his college- bred father many a
brisk walk through shut-away places in
wood and field, to tell him the name ot
trees which his older eyes haue never
een!
"What makes Susie so pale?" "Oh,
he hates to walk, and climb and run.
rihe always reads." Poor child!
'Booky folks" are very nice, and
mart, and all tiiat, but nlve nie the
fresh air child, who spiings to thb first
crack in the door, Bnmmer or winter,
to chase butterflies), or throw snowballs
at the unsuspecting futher may be!
The baby cried; the bread burned.
Mother was worn out; Mary's head
throbbed with the household friction.
Bhe did all she could, then slipped into
tbe small yard or gurden, or down the
street a minute. The "outdoor study"
was open! lts roof and floor was
ever-changing blue and vendure,"
perhaps only a tree, or a spray of vine
tangled over her neighbor's fence. The
picture was artistic and restful, the air
fresh, and the sunshine glorious!
When our hearts are heavy with long
ings for some unattainable thing,
duties drag like a run-down clock.
Ob, )et us fly to our outdoor study,
reach up to the topmost shelf for the
dear books, "done in blue and gold,"
pray a little prayer, quietly, by our
selves, to the blessed father of onr
outdoor household, whose splendid
library is never closed, whose sweetest
stories and most perfect pictures are
our own 1
Oliver Wendell Ilolmes measured
every tree on bis place with a tape
line, and knew each one pereonnlly.
Walter Hcott wrote his best books out
of doors, under the trees, and his
neiL h'xirs used to ridicule the m in
"who wrote whole days under an uiu
brella." We grow rich, for our pos
session can sever be valued, fresh
every hour, new with evtry sunrise
and sonnet.
Dear girls, make your "study"
everywhere; make it airy and spacious;
claim the best and biggest, and sun
niest spot near you! if yon would
have beauty, and grace, aud spirits,
and love, yon must go up and down
among the Cowers, however few, or
common, or poor. . It inspires yoa
with new life, and priorities most com
mon things, in this study yon are
never disappointed, but always sur
prised. Suddenly, out of a weedy cor
ner, peeps up a goldou-faced pansy,
blown by some summer wind and last
November's blasts bid away this yeur's
harvest of bloom! Not all the finery
of riches can make you gladder. How
confidential yon glow with the 'first
families;'' they bow and entile, and in
vite you to coiae again, and you go
again and again, and dream of the
roses and pinks and fragrance, of the
waving plumes, the sheony gowns,
dotted with blossoms which no human
band could paint or weave.
The boundless freedom of this out of
dooitl Unrest flees uway; and you
wonder how you lived through the con
finement of the working hours! It is
greater freedom than one comprehends.
The friction of small duties, the
caprioes of uncertain tempered house
holds, step off liko a soiled garment.
The kind whisperings of these compan
ions are so restful, dignified, and silent.
and respectful. Mother Nature comes
to us from God. bhe widens alliour
theories, and narrow, hateful, sultisn
views. A little pink and whito blos
som stows down in the oabbaco patch,
a thousand morning-glories spring np
and olimb aver the oldest, most tumble
down barn or fnee. The yellow of the
oft-petaled flower, or the pale blue of
the tort;et-me-not of the woods V-aoli
us lessons ot dearost, fullest love "to-
ward all." In this sindy we lean'
priceless lessoas. Money eennot buy
them, nor brains alone teach them. J
We may go the world over In search ot j
knowledge and wisdom and power, and,
come back to some lowly home to be
taught God's great lessons beside this .
"homestead door of bird, or bee, or
flower." "A new heaven above and a
new earth beneath.
LATE APPRECIATION.
"Carve not upon a stone when I am dean.
The promises which remorseful mourners giv
lo women's (rraves a tardy recompense
liut speak them while I live.
Forget me when I die! The violets
Above my rest will blossom Just as bine,
Nor miss the tears; e'en Nature sell forgets
But while I live be true." ,
NEATNESS AT THE TABLE,
At the risk of offending my friend
Mrs. Ii who recently came to
spend the day with me bringing two-year-old
little Kuth, I insisted that
the child should not nse the od-cloth
table mat and bib which the mother
had brought, even though tbe design
was pretty and the edges neatly fin
ished. "First lessons are what count" in
table manners as all others, and any
child that is old enough to oome to the
table can be taught to be neat and
well behaved.
But the oil-cloth appendages besides
being positively ugly, are an invitation
to a child to mess and be careless,
I know there are a few mothers, re
A.aiI unMliv. wa m a n who jtannnt
afford the luxary of sufficient table
linen, and are over-burdened with
care and work that they must resort
to their methods to save money, tune
and strength.
The children of such mothers wili
be well-behaved no matter what their
surroundings. But my friend, and
the majority of mothers who adopt
these methods will expend enough
money and time upon elaborate
ornamentation of their own and
their children's clothing, to keep their
table supplied with sufficient linen to
be always neat.
It need not be fine In quality, In
deed it need not even be linen, a piece
of cotton jean or diaper will make ex
cellent bibs and napKlns ana tne Desi
portions of worn table-cloths can be
utilized for the same purpose and
when laundried neatly, are far prefer
able to oil-cloth.
Nowhere are good manners, or the
lack of them so quickly deteoted as at
table,' and they can only be acquired
by the persistent efforts of the mother,
by the line upon line and the doing
precisely as you require them to do.
I.1TTZ.E HELPS.
A cake of sa polio should always be
kept near the kitchen sink. It is ex
cellent to seour steel knives and forks
with, as well as all tin or agate dishes,
and will remove egg or tea stains from
china.
Put a teaspoonful of baking soda, or
pearline in the tea-pet occasionally
and after filling two-thirds fall of cold
water, bring to a vigorous boil for fif
teen minutes. A delicately flavored
tea cannot be made in a badly stained
pot.
Put a tableepoonful of pearline in
the dripping pan or kettle, when yon
remove the meat, and filling it with
cold water, bring to a boil, and the
grease will be removed.
Always nse a vegetable orosn to
olean turnips, beats, parsnips or other
vegetables that are not to be pared,
and avoid cutting the skin, if possible.
Neither should a potato be baked that
has had the skin out, as in both eases
the flavor and mealiness of the vegeta
ble is injnred.
An nupainted soft wood kitchen
floor will look much whiter if cleaned
with a small allowance of very hot
water, changed often, than it will il
soaked with a great quantity.
BREAD MAKINO.
Good bread cannot be made of poai
material, but I care not what brand of
flour or yeast yon use, or by what
method you make it, if it becomes so
chilled as to arrest the process of
fomentation for any great length of
time it will not be nice. And as many
honskeepers do not have facilities for
keeping it at an even temperature dar
ing tbe night 1 give a reoipe that never
fails to produce delicious bread if
good flour and yeast are nsed and
that without anxiety on the part of
the cook.
At dinner time or by four o'clock ic
the afternoon, pare and boil four
medium-sized potatoes and mash them
through a colander or Hemmony
masher and pour over them one quart
of hot water. Cover closely and stand
in a warm place.
Soak one cake of "Yeast Foam" in a
pint of warm water until soft, then
add one tablespoonful of salt, two of
granulated sugar and two of flour
tieat well and stand in a warm place
until bed time. Then stir the yeast
into the potato water, wrap a blanket
around the dish, or place it where it
will not become cold. I lie first thing
in the morning stir in Hour enough
to make a batter a little stiller than
for griddle cakes, and beat it viaorou
ly for. fifteen minutes. Stand it in a
warm place and in three hours it will
have risen to .an active foam and set
tled down.
In the meantime warm bnt not
make hot enough flour to mix tho
dpongo into a smooth, bat not very
stiff mass. If you are strong enongh
to knead it half an honr the bread Will
bo whiter and more delicate, than it
will with less manipulation but Mrs,
lowing notwithstanding this is a hard
operation nnless one is strong. The
best substitute for this amount of
kneading is to chop the mass thorough'
ly with a chopping knife, after it has
bcon mixed sufficiently stiff and
smooth. After this knead again into a
smooth mass, rub a tablespoonful of
Miit not melted lard over the top
and do not let it get too warm while
rising.
Allow the mass to become very light
before making it into loaves, and rub
lard over tbe top of each one when
setting away to raise. Do not allow
the loaves to rise until they be
come too light, aud have the
oven at a high degree of heat when yon
put them in to bake. At the expira
tion of fifteen minutes lower the tem
perature, and bake from forty-five
minutes to an hour according to tbe
size of the loaves. When done wrap
in a damp cloth, and over this a dry
one and place on the side of the
loaves.
If the sponge is set at six o'clock in
the morning the bread will be baked
by noon and bo delicionsly sweet.
RAISED BISTtTIT.
Add a piece of butter the size of a
hickory nut and a tablespoonful of
sugar to a little of tho sponge at the
last kneadinir, and form into bisouits.
Kub a little butter over the top before
standing away to rise.
BREAD OAXB.
To one tencnpfal of bread sponge
add one teaenpful of sugar, one half
cupful of butter and one well beaten
egg.

Autumn's bonfires" are blazing by
bill and forest paths, leaving the foliage
brown and withered as it burns away.
Flowers have faded, and dead leaves
fall about our feet. The brightest
days are hazy with the smoke of Indian
Mummer; here and there a belated

chill of frosty nights. The flambeaus
ot the Golden Kod are turning brown
and in the hedges and red berries of the

The partridge beats his drnm in
meadow and woodland, birds of pas

r LORAL DKSIQtf.
It is fascination to watch the dexter
ity with which a skilled florist will
make np an artistic design, and to see
it grow from a bare wire skeleton to a
thing of grace and beauty.
We give a lew ideas upon tne max
ing of these designs which may be use
ful to onr readers:
For a table decoration, the founda
tion is an oblong wire frame some two
inches high and about ten by sixteen
inches in size. . In the centre is a circle
or the reception of moss which, after
being filled with sphagnum, is decorat
ed with leaves.
This moss is fonnd in swamps In
many of the States or can be obtained
very cheaply by florists in any large
town, as, also, the wire frames and
other materials for trimming. A very
handsome design was once made by an
ingenious person with no better ma
terials than pasteboard patterns, moss
as from the wood, a coil of wire and a
basket of wild ferns, flowers and
leaves.
The first circle of ferns was made by
slipping the leaves to a length of about
five inches, leaving a bare stem long
enough to insert firmly into the founda
tion. The centre of the circle is to be
filled with panties; the oblong outside
with rosebuds and sweet peas, an
other row ot ferns and then a border
of whito lilies interspersed with feath
ery sprays of moiden hair fern or any
lght frond-like leaves.
A star filled with white rosebuds and
red carnations is very beautiful, a
oircnlar centre of the white with the
points in red being most effective.
A star of flaming gladiolia is, also
remarkably attractive.
Asparagus tenuissiinus Is fine lor
mixing and edging, as, also, the young
leaves of some species of spirea. .Ever
greens, each as arbor-vitae, may be
used in the absence of other leaves but
has a stiff look not so desirable as
some lighter foliage.
Long stemmed flowers are easily in
serted in the moss bnt many flowers
have to be stemmed artificially. Leave

the natural stems an inch or so long,
hold the flower between the thumb and
finger of the left hand, place a bit of
cotton against the end of the sUm and
hold a common wooden tooth pick by
the side: twirl a piece of fine wire
about it and it will insert easily into
the moss, tbe cotton absorbing the
moistnre and thus keeping its freshness
longer.
Designs made In autumn may be
kept a long time by using flowers
which do not wither easily, such as
golden rod, asters, daisies, chrysanthe
mums, etc. ibe heilantus is very
showy and will last for weeks, and the

No truly elegant and refined woman
ever makes nse of violent perfumes, it
is not by a mere change of fashion that
scents ore so much less employed of
late than tbey were some years ago.
Many doctors assert that tbe power
ful essences with which women satur
ate their c'oilirs and handkerchiefs,
are often the direct eunse of headache

Oiood tiuite alone should prevent
ladies from using anything bnt the
most delioate and evanescent of ex
tracts; everything nlont a yonng and
pretty woman onlit to lie sweet smell
ing, bnt not to the degree of making
this sweetness offensive.
To attain this aim all the drawers
and cupboards, chitTbuiers and clothes
presses in a w man's dressing-room
should have large-flat sachets filled
with a mixture of orris root, violet and
amber powder. These particular odors
agree well and blend together with a
result, which, withont being strong, is
both enduring and extremely a(r'e-
able. furthermore, the linen when
returned from the Inn miry should be
Sprinkled lightly with lnvender ami

moves the odor of starch and s ap
