NOVEL FAVOR GIVING. Prtttnti Tied In Package and Fat tened to Umbrella Rlbt. Mothers In search of new stunts for giving favors at a child's party should not omit the umbrella method. This Is as easily managed as a pie or grab bag and is much tnoro picturesque. Cover an old silk umbrella with gay pictures and festoon it with strips of bright tissue paper or colored ribbons. The handle can also be twined with colored muslin, though It should be done very tightly to keep taut under youthful vigor in handling. Small sleigh bells dangling from each rib add to the merriment. Tio up plenty of small favors In tis sue paper packages and fasten them to the ribs by strings of different length. There should be at least one package for each young guest. Several for each child will be yet more fun. Form the children in a large circle, with one of their number in the center holding the umbrella. Some one at the piano .should play n gay march or twostep, and the chil dren should move- In n grand chain first in one direction, then In the other. When the music suddenly stops the dancers stop with it. and the child In the center raises the umbrella high above his head three times. The present that sways longest is his. Great is the excitement of the circle watching the dangling gifts and speculating on what their friend will draw. Before the umbrella holder unties his gift he calls out to boy or girl, as the rase may be: "Jane, come next within the rins! The magical umbrella swing And see what gift a shower will bring To you while we do dance and sing." The new child holds the umbrella while the first one unties and exam ines the contents of his package. Then the dance goes on as before until ev ery child has had a turn at twirling the umbrella and feeling Its fairy shower. FOR THE TEA TABLE. Hostess Looking For Novelty 8erves Rlssolettes With Tea. The hostess who wants novelties for her afternoon tea or card party can find them in rissoles and rlssolettes, that can be made at home quite as de llciously as by the caterer. A rissole is nothing but a croquette wrapped in pastry and fried In boil ing lard. Special irons come for fry ing these dainties, but they are not necessary. Roll out thin squares of puff paste, and on top place the croquette mixture of chicken, stirred into a well seasoned white sauce find molded when cold Into regular croquette shapes. Fold the pastry around the meat, seal the edges with white of egg, dip Into egg and well seasoned breadcrumbs and fry In boiling lard. Rlssolettes are sheets of pastry rolled very thin and dotted with cur rant Jelly, orange marmalade or any desired preserve. A large sheet of pastry is rolled thin, covered with dots of the preserve and topped by nnother sheet of pastry. To prevent the jam from spreading the pastry about the Jelly Is wet with Ice water for about half an Inch lu. Cut In circles, diamonds or any desired shape, pinch the edges together, brush with white of egg and cinnamon. These rlssolettes can cither be fried In hot lard or, what is easier, baked in n hot oven for about fifteen minutes. Chicken Poisons Hundred Nurses, Berlin, March !. Ninety-four nurses ind attendants of the Vlrchow hospital re suffering from ptomaine poisoning following the eating of fricasseed I'hickcn. The women of today who work for wages are more on an equality with men than the professional women who lire still lighting for recognition. Such was the decision at a recent meeting of tho Pilgrim Mothers held In New York. Lady Dudley, whose beauty is known throughout England, is the mother of twin sons, to whom the king and the Prince of Wales stood sponsors, and was formerly Miss Rachel Gurney. It Is said that her husband fell in love with her the first time he saw her. Lady Dudley has a singing voice which might have gained fame for her had ihe cared to appear in public. As it is, her volco Is often heard in the cause of charity. MARY DALE. Clever Announcement Party. The girl who wishes to announce her engagement to n few intimate friends before It is formally announced can find no better way than this. The guests should be invited to an Informal luncheon. If forgetmenots are obtain able, they should be used for the cen terpiece, but otherwise nny flower that Is preferred may be used for decorat ing. Small glass candlesticks may be placed at each cover shaded with a shade of soft blue. Under each napkin place a little ring box containing nn Imitation diamond ring. These rings may be purchased Inexpensively. The place cards may be decorated with lit tle Cupids. After the guests have found their places they will unfold their nap kins only to discover the rings, which they will Immediately put on. If they do not discover that the engaged girl has on a "real" ring, a gentle hint may be given them. "Wives Slaves Like Horses." In a public discussion on the ques tion "Ib the Wife Supported by Her Husband?" Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Oil man said: "Many wives are like horses lu that they are supported as the farmer sup ports his horse by giving it as much food as he thinks necessary. Many of the horses have found that they do not get as much food as they did when in their nuturnl state they roamed the meadows before man enslaved them." The Rev. Anna Howard Shaw said: "In this semlclvlllzed country there are thirty-eight states in which the ti tle to the children rests not In their mother, but in their father. Women cannot legally possess children, and in many of the states they ain't own clothes. Their clothing belongs to their husbands. The more work a woman does In a home the less money her hus band gives her." Red Cheeks Without Rouge. If you want to look very pretty and have red cheeks for some festivity, you can do this. Rub cold cream into the face, always with an upward, rotary movement. Wipe that off, rub in more and wipe It off again. Then wash the face with hot water. Then dash cold water over it and dry It thoroughly with a soft towel. To add the final touch take a small piece of ice, cover with a towel and rub gently three or four times over the cheek bones. This gives a color which will last for hours and Is really a mild form of a Turkish bath for the face. Many ladles before going out use leather sponges, nibbing the cheeks iirst with warm water, then hot water, and dry thoroughly. This gives a lovely color. Don't Talk About It. Wheir we have u grievance It is so tempting to go and talk It over with friend or relative. Tempting, yes; wise, no. For, as a rule, we are so keen In the Irritation of the moment for sympathy that the temptation to "paint with a big brush" is almost Irresistible. And later well, later probably wo find that there were extenuating cir cumstances; the culprit was not so black as we had fancied, and in our penitence we would give a great deal to bo able to recall the unjust things that we said, for rest assured we will always be reminded of them by the person in whom we confided. Feather In Cap of Suffragettes. I An Interesting fact in connection with tho English suffragette move ment is that there are fourteen women who are said to be entitled, through , rank, to sit in the English house of lords. They do not use their privilege because they do not wish to. Among these women who may take their seats some time in the future If the suffrage plank wins are Lady do Ros, Lady Klnloss, Lady Beaumont, Baroness Clifton and Baroness Wentworth. She Knew. Little Girl If I were a teacher I'd make everybody behave. Auntie now would you accomplish that? Little Girl Very easy. When girls were bad I'd tell them they didn't look pretty, and when little boys were bad I'd make them sit with the girls, nnd when big boys were bad I would not let them sit with the girls. Nothing else Is so contagious as en thusiasm. It is the real allegory of the lute of Orpheus. It moves stone. It charms brutes. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accom plishes no victory without it Bulwer Lytton. GIVEN TO SCRATCHING. Women Uncertain and Coy at the Polls, Mrs. Philip Lydig's Quests Hear. At a meeting of the Equal Franchise league of New York held recently al the homo of the secretary, Mrs. Philip Lydlg, the Rev. Anna Oarlin Spencer explained to the members why politi cians didn't want women to vote. "Politicians object to the extension of the franchise to women," said Mrs Spencer, "because no one can ever toll how they are going to vote. In short, their votes cannot bo delivered. Wher ever they vote they have evinced an Indomitable determination to 'scratch.' Hence they have Introduced dollghtful and salutary uncertainty into politics. You may count upon their not voting, as our friends the enemy have admit ted, for saloon keepers or drunkards or any man who Is allied for profit with tho social evil, but you can't tell who they will vote for, and, whether they nlways vote wisely or not, this is a distinct and valuable contribution that women have made to politics." "I suppose you don't expect the mil lennium when women vote," said Miss Mary Garrett Hay when the time came for questions. "I don't, and I am not asking for a vote for that reason. Miss Anthony used to say that women ought to have votes, even if it made things worse, simply as a matter of Justice." "That is a good basic principle." an swered Mrs. Spencer, "but utility makes a stronger appeal to most peo ple than abstract Justice. Few deny the Justice of giving women an equal voice with men In the direction of pub lic affairs, but they don't see the use of It." Before the meeting adjourned Mrs. Gabriellc Stewart Mulliner came in from the hearing on the proposed wo man's court before the Page commis sion and at Mrs. Lydig's request told the audience about the triumph which she believes the women have scored. The Equal Franchise league expects to send a delegation to Albany for the womnn suffrage hearing on March 28 and will bold a council of war in a few days for the purpose of selecting representatives. NEW PUNTO TAGLIATO. An Embroidery Recently Designed From Old Italian Work. The butterfly design seen lu the illus tration was designed by an English woman, Miss Louise A. Tebbs, who has written a book about it. It is the new punto tagllato embroidery, which should not be confused with the old Italian lace of the same name. Sitting Down Gracefully. Note tho studied attention which a woman of the world desirous of pos sessing real grace must pay to her ev ery action. For instance, the manner in which women sit down on their pres ent day gowns deserves to be an ob ject of special study on the part of all persons of taste, and tho choice of a particular kind of chair Is not with out Importance. A low ottoman seat is advantageous for the suppleness of n youthful, slightly developed figure. A deep seated chair becomes better a more heavily built person, who should make a point of sitting upright In or der to bring out the beautiful lines of the neck and chest. In a luxurious armchair a very thin woman may in case her fragility, and her slender hands on the arms of the chair will be shown off to great advantage. Supercilious.

ISnOKE: BOB" HAMILTON 10 CENT NEW SHORT STORIES Silenced the Crow. Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the brilliant leader of the antl-nolsc crusade, has canned noises, as she quaintly calls them, wherewith to Illustrate her elo quent addresses. Mrs. Rice, that Is to say, demonstrates with actual phono graphic records the hideous street din of New York. Discussing the other day animal noises the night noise of prowling cats, the sunrise noise of roosters kept to alleys Mrs. Rice said: "An antl-nolse man got the better of an inconsiderate Socialist last month. It is a queer story. "The antl-nolse man, a nervous Jour nalist, lived In a Brooklyn fiat, and the Socialist, his landlord, lived below him. The Socialist kept a talking crow you know crows talk if their tongues are split and this bird from Its cage on the balcony roared all day long: " 'Hurrah for Debs! Hurrah for Debs!' "All through the presidential cam paign the Journalist got no sleep on nccount of the crow's socialistic cheers. Though no great foe to socialism, he came to loathe the very thought of Debs. "He tried to buy the crow, offering i as much as $25 for It. In vain. He besought Its owner to keep it Indoors. "NO, SlREEl" EXCLAIMED THE SOCIALIST. In vain. This unsocial Socialist was to proud of his crow to curtail a mo ment of Its noisy' Debs enthusiasm. "The journalist was afraid to kill or steal the crow lest the owner, discov ering his guilt, turn him out of the flathouse. He did, however, a wily thing. "He went to a pet stock dealer, bought a crow that couldn't say a word and the next day, watching his chance, substituted the dumb bird for the loquacious one. "The Journalist met tho Socialist in n cigar store the other day. " 'Don't you ever regret,' he said, 'that you refused my liberal offer for your talking crow?' " 'No, siree!' exclaimed the Socialist warmly. 'I value that, bird more than ever now. Why, man, would you be lieve It, ever since the defeat of Eu gene V. Debs the crow hasn't opened his lips.'
