CORRECT CARDS.
Even a qulot wedding keeps the
bride busy. For, though she need not
visit the shops to buy a trousssau,
ordcrs must bo given at the station
er's for announcement and visiting
cards, and the selection of these Is
not a quick or easy task.
According to present custom, there
Is not only the individual card ot the
newly wed woman, but another plate
Is required. It must be engraved with
"Mr. and Mrs." On both cards the
names should be written in full. Her
cards may not read "Mrs. J, B.
Brown," or even "Mrs. James B.
Brown," but they must be "Mrs.
James Beech Brown." An address
Is also necessary, and the at borne
day, If one has been chosen for the
season.
Ot the lettering used, block and old
English are preferred Just now, old
English being considered smarter
than block. It also happens to be
more expensive a fact that perhaps
has something to do with its not being
common. Block is pretty, and there
need be no hesitation in choosing it
when economy ig an object. New
York Telegram.
MODESTY IN DRESS.
Modesty in dress is quite as much
appreciated to-day as it ever was,
and the wise woman will remember It,
no matter what the modistes may
urge, and will select the modified re
vealing frocks of the day's mode
rather than those curious products
launched by the Parisian half-world.
One thins, however, is quite cer
tain, and that is that she with the
thin figure, devoid of the feminlr.e
characteristics of form, may appear
In gowns so close and revealing that
on the woman of fine physique would
accentuate every charm to such an
extent as to make It rank vulgarity to
be so robed without shocking the
aesthetic- sense. In these Instances
the gown reveals nothing.
She who observes moderation In
every sartorial point will always bo
the best-dressed woman of her time,

Afternoon Tea Wafers. These wafers are made with
oatmeal. If the fine oatmeal cannot be procured, rub the
coarse oatmeal through a grater, or run it through a meal
grinder. To one cupful of this add one cupful of rolled oats,
two cupfuls of flour, one saltspoonful ot soda, one teaspoon
ful ot salt and one-quarter ot a cupful ot sugar. Marinate
these, passing several times through a sifter. Now take one
quarter ot a cupful of butter and pour over It one-half a
cupful of hot water; when the butter has .thoroughly melted
pour the liquid over the dry mixture. When well blended
roll out very thin. As the dough is rather stiff, it should be
patted with the rolling-pin and this continued until the
dough is as thin as possible, when it is ready to be cut with ,
a cookie form. Bake on buttered tins in a slow oven.

REJECT SIDE SADDLE.
A great many English women now
ride astride. For a dozen years it
had been popular in England to scoff
at American women for riding man
fashion, but there has been a change
of front Blnce Lady Crichton, a daugh

Tecelved an injury in the hunting
field that may make her a cripple for
life. The horn ot the old-fashioned
-side saddle carried her under her

her condition was so critical that for
several days she was not removed
from a kitchen table in a farmhouse

had Lady Crichton been astride she
would havo fallen clear of the horse,

LOOSENING THE TONGUES.
Can It be that nature Is reasserting
her authority? We may not deny
.that upon all females, except those
politely considered as human, she did
and does enjoin submissive silence.
It is the cock that crows, the gander
that honks, the father bird that sings,
the bullfrog that gulps and even the
masculine grasshopper that stridently
rasps his wings. So to-day, in con
formity with barbaric custom, qui
etude is imposed upon the harem ot a
Turk as upon that of a chanticleer,
but how long since, not without cause,
did we suppose we perceived the dis
appearance ot .the habit among civil
ized peoples!
Are we not, then, driven to the
conclusion that women of to-day are
beginning to talk less in the hope of
thus better pleasing men? It so,
while commending the motive, we
would unhesitatingly question the
method. American women err griev
iously in assuming that their actual
or would-be lords dislike to hoar
them converse upon all suitable oc
casions. The mere music of their
voices as contrasted with the raucous
male note easily counterbalances any
possible disparity in the ideas ex
pressed. And, compared with sheer
stupidity or studied sulklness, loqua
city is a joy to all mankind. Upon
all grounds, therefore in the interest
ot progress and enllghtonmcnt, for
the unburdening of the spirit, to en
hance chcertulnoss, to discourage
care, to brighten the home, for sin
cerity's sake no less than for circum
spection's, even tor the preservation
of peace and quiet within and with
out the American family we cry out
for a loosening ot the delicate .tongues
now so strangely and so suspiciously
stilled. North American Review.
MODERN MOTHERS.
A woman who attended the State
federation meeting of women's clubs
In Springfield, says, in the, Globe
Democrat, that she was impressed
with the fact that In this moving age
there is not time to spend in doing
things .thoroughly. When she was a
girl she sat and sewed a sheet seam
on a holiday, and when It was not
done as well as her mother thought
she could do it she was made to rip It
out, tears flowing the while, and there
was no play hoar until the whole
seam was sewed.
Things that are worth doing at all
are worth doing well, was the lessoa
her mother sought to Impress upom
her. So tt was with the sweeping,
the corners being ot more eonse
quenca than all the rest ot the floor.
The washing ot dishes was as solemn
as a church ceremonial, and to wash
them in less than three waters would
hare hurt her mother's feelings great
ly. The potatoes must be pared just
so, the sheets on the bed laid with
regard to the big hem, and In every
detail ot household work thorough
ness and attention to procedent was
Insisted upon.
Now the dishes are washed, but It
is unhygienic te wipe them. Under
clothes are not ironed, neither are
towels. There is none ot the fine
order ot things that once attended
baking day, the prime object seeming
to be to get done as quickly and with
as little trouble as possible. Alto
gether it seems possible that the girl
of the future will miss the sweet les
sons In self-denial that her mother
learned, and there seems some danger
that she will contract the habit ot
learning things superficlall;- and do
ing them carelessly. On the other
hand, her freedom from the details
of housework gives her more time tor
taking an interest in humanity and
the culture and refinement of life
that will no deubt bear better fruit
pen the whole than the long, white
seam of her mother's time. However,
It is certain that the possibilities for
superficial and slipshod work, are
greater u&der the new order of
things, and mothers have a new prob
lem presented to then which they
neat warjt eat tor tksaualrea.

New York City. The blouse that
is closed at the left of the front Is
one of the very newest and latest.
Thia one includes that feature, and
also sleeves that are made with inset
puffs that are n the very latest style.
In the illustration the material Is silk
erge, and the puffs are ot chiffon
Cloth In matching color, the under
sleeves are made of lace, and the
trimming Is banding. The puffs of
the sleeves can be of the same mate
rial if preferred, however, and for the
collar and the under-sleeves any con
trasting material is appropriate. If
plain sleeves are preferred they can
be substituted, as shown in the back
Tiew. The blouse Is equally well
adapted to the odd waist and to the
entire gown, and it consequently can
be utilized for a variety of materials.
The blouse is made over a fitted
lining, and Itself consists ot fronts
and back, the fronts are tucked to
yoke depth only, but the backs from
shoulders to waist line. The fancy
sleeves are made over plain founda
tions, and these are faced to form the
cuff or under-sleeves. The lining is
closed at the centre front, the blouse,
Invisibly beneath the edge of the
right front. When the lining Is
omitted, the cuffs, or under-sleeves,
are Joined to the sleeves beneath the
trimming.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is three and five
eighth yards twenty-one or twenty
seven or two and one-eighth yards
forty-four inches wide, and five
eighth yards eighteen Inches wide far
collar and cuffs, three and three
quarter yards ot banding.

riuin and Tucked Bishop Sleeves.
The bishop sleeve is always a grace
ful one. Just now it makes the
latest style, and is made both with
and without a cap and both plain and
tucked. Here are three, all of which
are attractive and graceful. One is
made with an oddly shaped cuff, one
with a deep cuff pointed at the Inner
edge and one is cut off In three-quarter
length and Joined to a straight
band, but all are equally correct. For
the sleeves any pretty thin material
is appropriate, and the cuffs can be
made to match or of contrasting ma
terial, as liked. When the cap Is
used It should be in contrast, and a
pretty effect Is obtained by making
the cap to match the blouse and the
sleeves of thinner material, such as
chiffon, net, lace or muslin. All-over
lace makes exceedingly handsome
cuffs, but any pretty material can be
utilized.
The sleeves are all made over fitted
foundations which are cut with up
per and under portions. The plain
puffs, or bishop portions, are slightly
full and gathered at the upper and
lower edges. Whichever cuff la used
is arranged over the lower portion of
the lining and the cap is arranged
over the completed sleeve. The
tucked sleeve Is made In three-quar
ter length, and finished with a short
er band. Any of the sleeves can be
made unllned, if preferred.
The quantity ot material required
for the medium size Is one and three
eighth yards twenty-one, twenty-four
or thirty-two inches wide, three-quarter
yard forty-four for any sleeves;
three-quarter yard twenty-one, twenty-four
or thirty-two, three-eighth
yard forty-four for caps; one-halt
yard of all-over lace for- pointed cuffs,

THE SHORT-SIGHTED MOTHER.
The housekeeper who has to man
age carefully should set herself to
learn this much of wisdom to in
trust to others the duties they can
perform, in order that she may exer
cise ber greater skill upon others thai
they can not accomplish. Every one
knows mothers and very good moth
ers, too who eeem to feel a kind of
pride in bearing their own burdens
and denying to others the discipline
of taking a share of them. Ouch are
the women who beast that they never
ask their husbands to fetch a book
or carry a portmanteau; never trou
ble their children with little home
duties, 'but bring them up to be free
of any burden or knowledge of house
work. Let not the mother say te herself,
"I can do this better than they can,"
referring to her daughters; or "Let
the girls have all their time to them
selves; their day for work (will come."
For if the daughters never learn,
when "their day" comes there will
be many mistakes made in bouse-1
wlfery, and how will their husbands
like that? Indlaaapelia News.

Billion.
In America, as In France, "billion"
meanB a thousand millions. The word
was originally invented in France la
the sixteenth century, to denote the
second power of a million, trillion and
quadrillion being formed at the same
time to denote the third and fourth
powers of a million. In the seven
teenth century the arithmeticians
changed the use of the words, and
"billion" came to mean a thousand
millions, trillion - a million millions,
and so forth. England, not being a
revoutlonary oountry, clung to the
meaning of the word that had the old
est pedigree. America, being a revo
lutionary country, followed France.
