K HEARTH m
; MME. E. J. LOYSON'S LABORS.
Emllle Jane Loyson, wife of the
former priest Charles Loyson, died In
Paris recently.
Even as a girl Mme. Loyson was
.widely known both in New York and
Ohio. As Miss Emily Butterfield,
daughter of Amory Butterfield, she
was celebrated for her beauty. Bu
cyrus, Ohio, and New York City both
occupied the dual position ot home
to her family, although she was born
In New York City In 1833.
Her first husband was Captain Ed
win R. Merlman. After his death she
achieved a reputation as a platform
speaker and was traveling abroad in
11872 when Mons. Loyson, then known
widely as Pere Hyaclnthe, was at
tracting wide attention by reason ot
bis breaking away from the Church
of Rome and bis establishment of an
Independent charge. Shortly after
leaving the church, on September 3,
1872, he married Mrs. Merlman,
Whom he had met during her travels.
Mons. Loyson attracted wide atten
tion by establishing himself In Paris
as the pastor of the poor in the Latin
Quarter. There his influence among
young men was marked and im
portant. As Pere Hyaclnthe he had
been prior to this time curate of the
Congregation of Liberal Catholics at
Geneva, and later he founded a "Gal
ilean" congregation in Paris. He re
fused to permit his marriage to be
considered as the breaking ot his
church ties. Mme. Loyson aided him
Confectioners' Frosting. Boil one-fourth a cup, each, ot
water and granulated sugar five minutes; then stir In sitted
confectioners' sugar to make a paste that will spread smooth
ly and remain upon the cake. Flavor with vanilla or other
extract. Coffee frosting may be made by substituting clear,
strong coffee for the water. For pineapple frosting use
grated pineapple (pulp and Juice) and a tablespoonful ot
lemon juice. For chocolate frosting melt an ounce of choco
late In the syrup; let boll once, then beat in the sugar and
half a teaspoonful ot vanilla. Boston Cooking School Magazine.

(ENGLISH BRIDE-ELECT'S WISH.
"No flowers" has long been a fa
miliar phrase in obituary announce
ments, and now "No presents, by re
quest," has made its appearance in
the newspaper column In which fash
ionable engagements are announced.
The first bride-elect publicly to
emancipate herself from the tyranni
cal yoke of the wedding presents is
Miss Lilian Lutley, of Oldham Priory,
Hants, who is to be married in the
Autumn to Mr. Harrington Morgan,
3udge-of the civil courts of justice In
the Sudan. The engaged couple have
requested, through the press, that no
presents be sent to them. Letters
expressive ot good wishes, they add,
will be very acceptable.
"There are many service people
yrho have lived to wish from the bot
tom ot their hearts that their friends
tad abstained from burdening their
lives with well intentioned wedding
presents, and civil servants who go
abroad are, I should Imagine, In the
same position," said the wife of a
naval officer who Is a member of a
Well known ladies' service club.
"Presents in the form of checks
are, of course, acceptable, and jewel
ry does not deteriorate with keeping,
tut for a young couple to attempt to
carry to distant lands the heterogen
eous collection ot Bllver articles, silk
cushions, afternoon tea cloths and
glass and china with which their
friends have endowed them Is to sad
dle themselves with a very expensive
and very useless appendage.
"I know of a woman who was mar
ried five years ago and the wedding
presents are still at the repository
where they were sent after the cere
mony," added this lady. London
Hail.
LONELINESS.
. Loneliness, bigger than ever, set
tles down la the mother's heart; it
the daughter would master French,
so all-Important, she must be with
native friends wherever she may find
them. As chaperon she lives an end
less routine of hurrying from one
fount of knowledge to another, or
listens at home to meaningless splut
terlngs, of which she grasps only a
word here and there, so says William
Armstrong, in Success Magazine.
Presently there is a ruction. The
'girl who will succeed Patti has been
listened to by a great Blnger to whom
he had letters, and told that Bhe is
being taught wrong.y. To .mother
and daughter this news comes as a
shock; in Paris, they had fancied, all
teachers must be supremely excellent.
For a year after this awakening
things are kaleidoscopic; one singing
teacher follows another until six have
been tried and found wanting. Some
times the change is made on the ad
i vice of friends; again, the girl her
self takes the initiative.
The seventh singing teacher, who
should properly have been the first,
Is finally consulted. She has trained
many singers recognized in America
as roajly great Her voice is frankly
plain: "Your voice is in such bad
condition from wrong teaching that
Bow .1 can eto nothing for you. Stop
alaglns entirely for aix months, then
come back, and I will tell you
whether It Is mined or not."
To her two listeners an abyss seems
opening at their feet. To economize,
they Jeave the pension where they
first took quarters, and rent furnished
rooms yet more modest; there they
set up housekeeping in a way that, at
home, would have been looked on
as pitiable.
The days of waiting are sad enough
for the daughter because of threat
ened life hopes that grown to mean
her reason for existence, and for
the mother because Bhe bears her
child's troubles In addition to her
own, while always present with her
Is an unconquerable yearning lone
liness for those she left at home.
Then, all the old lesson routine In
languages and the rest begins anew.
1M v J JSU
Pockets are large and much
trimmed.
Sleeves promise more fulness In the
near future.
Chiffon Is evidently In tor a tre
mendous vogue.
New parasols are In brilliant col
ors and plaids. ,
Wrist watches on leather straps
are again being worn.
The old fashioned jet bracelet.
made in links and fastened on either
wire, is appearing again.
The bracelet is surely in again, des
pite the fact that many women cling
firmly to the long sleeve.
Large pieces of beading are used
on gowns and wraps, gloves and op
era bags, and even on stockings.
Stunning fancy gun metal collar
pins are shown. Some ot these are
studded with semi-precious stones.
Blue and lavender bugles and
beads are used for embroidering lace
and net, crepe de chine and liberty
silk.
The revival of the fashions of the
Louis XVI. period has brought back
the dainty little fan, often hand
painted.
Crepe meteor makes smart gowns
for evening wear, especially when
trimmed with beads and embroidered
with heavy silk.
The newest revival in sleeves is tha
kimono, cut in one, with the waist,
but It is by no means so full and wide
as formerly), and at first glance does
not suggest its origin.
Smart, indeed, are the crochetted
or knitted buttons made ot the same
worsted as one's sweater and worn
upon the garment. They come in a
variety ot shapes and sizes.
A novel millinery ornament ot
gauze and satin ribbon is made of
three pieces of ribbon, about two
inches in width, sewn together at one
end and pleated in a loose braid.
Among the new scarfs are those ot
soft white silk, quite elaborately
beaded. The scarf proper has a de
sign very elaborate, wrought out in
gilt bands, while the border is in sil
ver. A smart tailored blouse is made ot
batiste, with two inch bands of the
daintiest hand tucks. There is a
standing collar and turnback cuffs of
baby Irish lace and ruffles of batiste,
edged with lace at the side where the
waist closes.
A deep pointed waist line, back and
front, ii tht feature of this dinner gown.
The overtkirt is gathered on in somewhat
generous fullness, and the trimming for the
entire gown is the material corded.
It Is a very dashing style for a slender
(guw.(
New York City. Waists that are
made with trimming portions of con
trasting material are always pretty
and attractive, and this one is excep
tionally so. It includes the narrow,
deep chemisette that makes a feature
of the season and can be made either
with or without the sleeve puffs. It
is girlish and youthful, yet dressy in
effect, and it Is adapted both to the
frock and to the separate blouse.
Crepe de Chine with trimming of
moire velours and chemisette and
deep cuffs of tucked chiffon make the
waist illustrated, but all seasonable
materials are appropriate and the de
sign also can be made available for
the simpler washable fabrics. For
these last the lining would preferably
be omitted, but silks and the like are
better when made over a foundation.
The sleeves Illustrated are new and
smart, buj plain ones are equally cor
rect, and can be substituted when
preferred.
The waist Is made with a fitted lin
ing, which Is optional, and consists
of front and backs. It is tucked be
comingly, and the trimming portion
Is arranged over it. The sleeves can
be faced with contrasting material to
form the deep cuffs or made of one
throughout, as liked. When the puffs
are used they are arranged over the
lining.
The quantity ot material required
for the sixteen year Bize Is two and
five-eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-four,
one and five-eighth yards
thirty-two, one and one-half yards
forty-four Inches wide, with one-halt
yard of silk and five-eighth yard eigh
teen for the chemisette and deep
cuffs.
Excellent For Traveling.
Shadow striped mohairs are excel
lent for traveling wear.
Child's Caps.
Close fitting caps are always In de
mand at this season of the year, and
here are .two that are warm and cozy
at the same time that they are essen
tiality attractive and becoming. The
Brownie cap can be made either with
or without revers at the front and
with or without the cape portion. It
is pointed at the top, is always pic
turesque and it is absolutely simple
to make. Velvet and broadcloth, vel
veteen and ribbed silk, fur cloth and
all materials that are used tor chil
dren's caps are appropriate. In the
Illustration the cap with revers Is
trimmed with a little frill of lace at
the front edge, while the plain one is
edged with fur, and both styles are
equally correct.
The melon cap Is quite different In
effect, but also Is absolutely simple
and easy to make. It lends Itself to
embroidery with exceptional success,
and can be used both for immediate
wear and for the warmer weather
made of thinner material, such as
handkerchief lawn, embroidered and
lined with thin silk. In this case the
fancy cap is made of white broad
cloth and the plain one is made ot the
same material in brown.
The Brownie cap Is seamed at the
upper and back edges, and when the
revers are used they are Joined to the
front edge. The lower edge can be
finished with the cape or with trim
ming. The melon cap is made in
three sections, which are so shaped
that they fit the head snugly and
smoothly. Both caps are designed to
be held by ribbon ties.
All the pretty, faded, washed-out
dyes continue to be modish.
Women Wear Bangs,
It seems as though the bang has
come to stay, regardless ot criticism.
The bang is intrenched for the sea
son, and in a large measure it will be
becoming. It compels women to lift
from their foreheads that low-hanging
mass of hair, now the fashion,
and substitute It with a tiny, wavy
fringe. The bangs are not cut from
the hair, but are purchased at stores
where hair goods are sold.
TONGUE ON TOAST. -Chop
one cup of cold boiled tongue
(or roasted) very fine, beat yolks ot
two eggs until light, add to tongue,
season with one-fourth teaspoonful
ot mustard, a little cayenne. Stir
whole over fire until eggs are cooked.
Serve immediately on squares or
rounds ot buttered toast. Home
Cooking.
KIDNEYS MAITRE D'HOTEL.
Plunge the kidneys Into' boiling
water, remove and dry with a cloth.
Split them, remove the skin and
fasten flat with skewers. Broil .them
until brown, remove the skewers and
place on a hot platter; pour melted
butter over them, add a drop or two
of lemon juice and sprinkle with
chopped parsley. Home Cooking.
CRISP MOLASSES COOKIES.
Heat one-halt cupful of molasses
to the boiling point and add one and
one-half teaspoonfuls ot butter, one
and one-halt tablespoonfuls of lard,
one-fourth ot a cupful ot sugar and
one tablespoonful of milk. Mix and
sift two cupfuls ot flour, one-half tea
spoonful cf soda, one-halt teaspoonful
salt, one-half teaspoonful of clove,
one-halt teaspoonful ot cinnamon and
one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg. Add
to first mixture and chill thoroughly.
Toss one-fourth of the mixture on a
floured board and roll as thinly as
possible, shape with a cooky cutter
first dipped In flour, place near to
gether on a buttered sheet and bake
In a moderate oven. Indianapolis
News.
SOUTH CAROLINA RICE PIE.
Take one quart cooked meat, if
beef or veal allow one-fourth fat, If
mutton, trim away all fat and substi
tute two ounces ot butter. The meat
should be cut in shavings and lightly
measured. ' Chop fine one medium
sized onion, one large Irish potato,
one ounce ot fat salt pork, blanch,
drain and fry gently to a light yellow;
put in the meat.wlth salt and pepper
and sweet herds or spice to taste.
Let it heat through, stirring carefully.
If the meat was tough in the first
case, add one pint of stock and sim
mer until tender. Meanwhile cook
one cup of rice, season it with one
cup of stewed and strained tomatoes,
one ounce of butter and two hard
boiled eggs sliced; turn the hashed
meat. Into a buttered baking dish,
place the rice over, handle carefully
so as not to cruBh the rice or break
up the egg; cut two more eggs in
four slices each and press them Into
the rice on top; put a bean of butter
on each and set in a moderate oven
for one-halt hour; fold a napkin
around the dish if not a regular
baker. Do not let the meat get too
dry; It it did not need the simmering
add cold gravy freed from all fat and
water enough to moisten well. A
thorough Southern dish and a great
favorite in that rice country. Boston
Post.
To polish zinc, rub hard with a flan
nel dampened in kerosene. Then
rinse oft with boiling water.
A little alcohol will wash window
panes quickly and satisfactorily, leav
ing them bright and clear.
A good cement for household use
is made by adding a teaspoonful of
glycerine to a gill ot glue.
Very attractive are the collapsible'
cretonne-covered work baskets shown
in the shops at moderate prices.
A bit ot candle wax will be found
more efficacious than soap rubbed on
the bureau drawer if it sticks In open
ing. Experienced housewives say that
tin boxes are the best receptacles for
all kinds of toad that would attract
mice or weevils.
A good black ink mixed with the
white ot egg is said to be excellent
tor restoring color to black kid,
whether shoes or gloves.
Pour upon the pods a quantity ot
boiling water and the beans will slip
out easily from the pod. By pouring
scalding water over apples the skin
will slip off easily.
Use old papers to wipe out the
greasy dishes, also the greasy cooking
utensils, then burn the papers. Try
this once and you will never have any
more greasy dishwater.
Oatmeal is certainly whitening to
the skin, and the girl who appreciates
the value of the bath keeps a supply
of oatmeal-bags on hand always, us
ing them whenever Bhe takes a warm
bath and this is often.
It is a good plan In pasting labels
on a glass jar, used for holding dry
groceries, to put the slip on the in
side ot the Jar. Then there is no'
danger of It being rubbed oft when
the jar has to be wiped.
To freshen stale cake, dip It for a
second in cold milk and then rebake
it in a rather cool oven. Cake that
has been treated in this way will taste
as it it had been newly baked and
may be eaten by any one. Stale brea(i
majr be treated In the same way.
BUSINESS EXHIBITS DULLNESS
Buyer Are Numerous, but Conserve

cussing Condition.
"Trade still maintains the qulett
undertone previously noted and not
unusual at this season of the year,
when buyers are gathering at leading
markets in preparation for the open
ing of the spring campaign. Reports
ot buyers being numerous, but ot
buying being conservative, come large
ly from the leading Northern and Cen
tral Western markets, prominent in
this respect being New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago. In the
Northwest, Southwest, the South and
on the Pacific coast, reports are still
highly optimistic and liberal buying
for spring is noted.
Among the leading Industries, It
might be noted that iron and steel are
quieter; that there Is weakness in pig
iron, and that high prices of soma
kinds of cotton goods repress dealings.
In other lines of cottons, however, and
in woolen goods there la a good move
ment. In the lumber trade for export.
Southern reports are of unsatisfactory
conditions, but from the Pacific coast
lumber trade come reports of business
being the best since 1907. Good re
ports as to the shoe trade and that in
rubber goods come from the West gen
erally. Fears of a coal strike In the bitum
inous regions have led to buying by
railroads and manufacturers. Re
pression of railway buying of material
is reported, based on a desire to see
the course of legislation at Washing
ton. The January movement of
prices of commodities falls to show
much effect of the agitation for lower
prices of meats.
Business failures in the United)
States for the week ending with Feb
ruary 10 were 249, against 232 last
week, 211 in the like week of 1909,
320 in 1908, 204 In 1907 and 203 in
1908. Business failures in Canada,
for the week, numbered 39, which
compares with 30 last week and 29
for the same week last year.
