Unappreciated Thrift.

tor small savings for a long time
Until she was able to give her hus

When Benjamin saw these unac
customed luxuries, he said reproving
ly. "You see how luxury creeps into
families in spite of principles." And
directly the meal was- over he went to
bis warehouse and wheeled a barrow

streets for fear lest the neighbors
might hear of the china cup and say
bo was getting above his business.,
My Friend.
A married woman rarely makes
good intimate friend. She is far too
pt to tell "him" everything.
Beware also of a woman who.. re
Teals other people's confidences to
you, Including her husband's, no mat
ter how specious her reasons for so
doing. ,
She will probably give you away,
too, at the first opportunity. She
oan't help it; it Is a disease. And the
vorst of It i3 that these naughty bab
hers are often so lovable and kind and
caressing and have such sympathic
ways that they coax our little secrets
ut of us almost before we know it.
Really, the only way to keep a
ecret is not to let any one guess
that there I13 a secret to keep.
I can picture the friend I should
most dearly treasure. She baa the
art of coming When wanted, and stay
ing away when I do not happen to
care about visitors; she is loving,
yet never gushing; helpful, but not
(Tlcious; ready, but never In the way.
She can praise, says Home Chat,
without flattering, counsel without
"advising," hear everything,, and say
nothing. But 1 such a friend would
need to be lived up to, and I have
y doubts as to whether I should
sufficiently rise to the occasion.
Is County Treasurer.
Miss Gertrude Jordan, of Valentine,
Neb, who has just been declared by
the State Supreme court to be en
titled to the office of , treasurer of
Cherry county, is the first woman In
flie United States to hold a position
of this kind.
Tie "State of Cherry," as it la
called in Nebraska, is the largest
county In the United States. It is
ninety miles long and seventy miles
wide, and contains 4,000,000 acres.
The northern portion borders on the
Sioux Indian reservation, where 14.000
uncivilized Sioux live a semi-nomadic
life. Cherry Is largely a county of
cattle ranches, cowboys, roundups and
ranges. It Is In the heart of the "sand
nfll" county and there are still
1,000,000 acres of government wild
land within its borders.
It was amid such surroundings and
under such conditions that Miss Jor
dan carried on her campaign. For
the most part her mode of travel was
horseback, and during her contest
for the office she travelled more than
nine hundred miles in this manner.
Miss Jordan is twenty-six years of
age and for eight years had been
deputy treasurer, for Cherry Last
year she determined to become a can
didate for the higher position, al
though she is a Republican and the
office was filled by a Democrat So
she resigned and sought the nomina
tion. In the primaries she had two
opponents and when the votes were
ooonted she had almost as many as
the two combined.
Then came the campaign, and It
was the most Interesting contest
Cherry county ever saw. Miss Jor
dan was just as likely as not to show
np at a Democratic "blow out", and
she backed her opponent oft the plat
form time after time. Wherever two
or more voters were gathered togeth
er there Miss Jordan was to be found.
She rode over the country time and
again, visited almost every ranch
house, stopped a few minutes at each
bunch of grazing cattle and talked
with the herders and was a visitor at
11 the roundups.
At the election she led the ticket
and won without difficulty. But when
she went to take possession of the
office her opponent refused to vacate
for her, alleging that she was not
eligible to the office.
Miss Jordan went Into 00 art. Sev
en judges heard the oaso In the Stats
Supreme court Six of them con
curred in an opinion favorable to Mlsa
Jordan. The seventh, dissenting, took
the position that unless the line was
drawn somewhere women would soon
be filling the gubernatorial chair it
self. New York Herald.
For a Fashionable Meal.
To make a dinner table look attrac
tive attention must be given to its
decoration. For example, In the mid
dle of the table there should be a
pot of flowers of cut blossoms, and
radiating from the centre at four cor
ners, there should be candlesticks,
glass or silver. About the centra may
be laid any large faney silver spoons
as ornaments, and four small dishes,
glass or sliver. In one dish there
should be jelly, in two others, candies
and salted nuts, and pickles In the
fourth. One of these dishes should
be placed between two candlesticks,
only farther from the middle. These
are left throughout the meal, except
that the jelly and pickles are re
moved when the crumbs are wiped
from the cloth; that is, before dessert
la served.
No more than three forks are put at
one place, nowadays, others being
brought in afterward it extra courses
require them. A fork and spoon are
used with dessert and plates for each
person are arranged before being
brought from the pantry. A small
dolly is put on each desert plate and
on that is the finger bowl, also in a
little plate. The latter should match
the bowl. A second dolly should be
placed between the bowl and Its plate.
A fork and spoon should be placed on
each dessert plate, the silver resting
on the margin. The fork should bo
on the left and the spoon on the right
side, the handles pointing toward the
person who will use them. When this
plate U set on the table the guest
removes the fork and spoon, putlng
one either side of the plate.
She then takes the finger bowl, its
plate and the doily under and places
them a little to the left in front of the
dessert plate, which is thus left ready
for the sweet when the maid brings
it.
When that course Is finished the
maid takes off the plates used and
puts the finger bowl plates in their
proper places before each guest. This
serving of dessert plates is the most
complicated part of a dinner for an
inexperienced maid.
Candies are not passed about the
table till the finger bowl plates are
in front of each guest after dessert.
The guest raises the bowl, puts It a
little in front, thus leaving the plate
empty for the candies. If coffee is
served at the table it Is brought while
the candles are being eaten.
A serving plate is used at each
plate, which means that the maid,
when she removes a plate used, has a
clean, empty one In her right hand,
which she Immediately slips into
place. When plates for the next
course are brought the empty one is
taken up. In this way places before
persons at the table are never without
a plate.
There is a fad at present for all
dishes brought from the pantry to bo
handed first to the hostess to servo
herself Instead of the guest of bonor.
in mese -aays or complicated and
elaborate dishes It is frequently taci
ful to follow this fashion that others
may see how the dish is served.
Carving should be done in the pantry
and neither meat nor vegetable dishes
put on the table.
Agood menu for a formal dinner
consists of a hors d'oeuvre of sardine
paste on toast, clam cocktails, soup,
fish, an entree, poultry with two light
vegetables, a salad, ices, candles and
coffee. Rosanna Schuyler in the New
York Telegram. .
Fashion Notes.
Braiding remains in favor.
Side jabots still hold their own.
Everything favors the vague of
laces.
Tulle twister in with the hair Is
most attractive.
Many of the new frills are mad a of
colored embroidery.
In millinery, as in dresses. ' vivid
coloring Is the rage.
One sees black velvet streamers
tied under the chin.
The usual madras and lleht chevi
ots are seen In tailored waists.
The handles of the tailored Daraaoli
are unique In effect and very original.
An airy fashion is the use of tniia
as a trimming for hats or In the hair.
Neck niching of two contrastlna
colors of mallne Is one of the novel
ties.
Frill collars varv in width from twn
or three to four or even five Inches in
width.
Suede gloves are worn for deen
mourning, then glace gloves for fh
lighter.
Large round! or eauare chantlllv
veils will be used with the big hats or
toques.
The ribbons ha vine the roid em.
bossed effects are nonular for makins?
opera bags.
Not for many years has chantlllr
lace had such a success: it is dved in
every shade.
Very handsome are th cloth f
steel slippers. The ornament la a
tiny steel lace bow.
Everything points to acfJva dAmant
for linen and pique collars, both onv
bmtdered and plain. j
New York City. Bathing suits al
ways follow the general trend of fash
Ion and the one that is made with
sleeves and blouse in one is among the
smartest. Here Is a model that in
cludes that feature and which is made
with a skirt that Is full enough for
comfort ywt falls in the fashionable
straight close lines. The model is
made of natural colored pongee with
trimming ot brown, but brilliantlne
Is a favorite mntflrlnl fnr Imrhlnir
suits, salt water silk Is much used and
a great many women like the warmer
flannel and serge, while feu trimming
bands of any contrasting material are
aDDrODriate. Dotted foulard la helnir
used and is liked, braid is correct, and
Draining with soutache is employed
on many of the handsomer suits. The
bloomers accomnanvlnc thn mat 11 m a
are close fitting over the hips, conse
quently mean no bulk, yet they are
loose and comfortable at the knees.
The suit Is made with the blouse
and Bklrt and the bloomers. The
blouse is laid in a tuck over each
shoulder and In thn tnrlrn at thfl rtnnlr
edges and the skirt Is laid in Inverted
pleats at front, back and sides, and
these Pleats meet over tinrrnw nnnola
The two are Joined by a belt and the
closing is made Invisibly at tha back.
A pretty shaped collar finishes the
neck. The bloomers are finished with
hems and elastics at the knees and
under faced at the upper edge.
The quantity ot material required
for the medium size (sixteen years)1
Is seven and one-half vears. twentv.

half yards twenty-seven inches wide
for trimming.
The Hat Tilt.
There Is danger of a ridiculous ex
treme In the hat tilt, and there is the
possibility of a most fetching
piquancy. A hat must be placed upon
the head before the mirror and ex
perimented with until the correct ad
justment becomes second nature;
then one can wear the tilted brim
with the saving grace of knowing that
the best has been made of the new
line.
Negligee With Fancy Collar To
be made with pointed elbow or long
plain sleeves. The negligee that is
made with a big fancy collar is always
a becoming and attractive -one.
Frilltngs In Demand.
"Chantecler" and other trillings
are In great demand to use as side
Jabots on waists and gowns or silk or
fine tub goods. They also are in high
favor with mothers who love to have
the little ones daintily dressed.
i Ribbon Sashes.
The sash or girdle of ribbons, or
even ot silk by the yard, Is as much a
fashion for the child as for the grown
ups.
Matching Accessories.
With the violet hued suit there
must be a gold chain bag with a tiny
purse of gold fastened to the outside
ot the purse. Or, if my lady prefer
to adopt the latest fad in dress, she
will have a bag of violet silk with a
little gold chain for change fastened
to the outside. She can keep her
coin In the tiny little purse while her
vanities are carried in the big silk
wrist bag.
Ornamental Pockets.
Pockets are proving an lnexhaustl
ble mine for displaying trimming of
various kinds. There are the large
square shapes that are ornamented
with braid, embroidery or buttons,
giving the decorative plastron so
much in vogue. Then, again, there
are the pointed shapes that are fre
quently used when the lines of
coat are built on the sharp slanting
scheme. Stitched flaps are plucod on
the tailored suits of severe cut; even
lace is used on the linen costumes tor
ornament rather than for use, for it
must be remembered that the perfec
tion of line must not be destroyed by
the contents.
Anto or Steamer Bonnet.
Traveling, whether by motor or by
steamer, brings about the necessity
for Just such head covering as this,
A bonnet of some sort is really es
sential both as protection against the
wind and to keep the hair smooth
and tidy. The one Illustrated Is
charming and attractive and becom
ing as well as practical, and easily
made withal. In the Illustration silk
is the material and the trimming is
rosettes of ribbon, while the ties are
or soft ribbon, but chiffon is often
used for ties and the trimming could
be any preferred one. Pongee, chtf-
ton cloth and all materials that are
used for bonnets of the Bort are ap
propriate. If liked the brim could be
of one material and the crown ot an
other.
The bonnet Is made with crown and
brim and foundation brim. The brim
It aid in folds but the foundation is
smooth and plain. The crown Is gath
ered at the front edge and Joined to
the brim and Is shirred at the neck
edge to form a little frill while these
shlrrlngs are held by means of a
stay.
The quantity of material required
Is one and one-halt yards twenty-seven,
or one yard forty-four Inches wide
with three yards of ribbon two Inches
wide for rosettes, two and one-half
yards of ribbon six inches wide or one
and one-half yards of chiffon for ties.
Tuck Pleated Blouse With elbow
or long sleeves, with Dutch collar or
neek-band. The blouse that is laid
in tucks that are stitched to give a
flat effect is a smart and fashionable
one.
Harmonies.
One of the loveliest gowns I have
seen for some time Is a velvet in a
most exquisite soft shade Of saxe blue
with more than a hint of mauve in
the high lights, with Introductions of
heavy purple silk net almost hidden
beneath embroideries of blue,' mauve
and purple, quite impossible to de
scribe properly in mere words, and a
beautiful Jabot of old Flanders point
hold by a magnificent buckle of ame
thyst paste.

Root Celery.
Not every one knows there is a va
riety of celery which makes a large
root like a turnip and that serves as
an excellent salad vegetable. The
seed is sown and the plants are
planted exactly the same as the bet
ter known varieties, but when the
roots have grown large enough they
are dug up as wanted. The tops are
trimmed off and the bulbs are then
scraped and boiled until tender. They
are then sliced and laid la weak vine
gar, to be servV with cream or
French dressing the same as potato
salad. The Savor Is mild and delicious.

My Own Meat Pie.
Take as much meat as wanted and
cut up in small squares, cut up some
onions (as many as you like), add pep
per and salt and plenty of water and
cook till tender, keep plenty of water
In for gravy; when done thicken with
a little cornstarch, put in a pudding
dish and insert a cup or small bowl
in the centre; in the meantime have
plenty of potatoes boiled and mashed
fine and seasoned, drop by spoonfuls
around the cup. Put into a quick oven
and brown all around nicely; before
sending to the table take out the cup
and you will find that your gravy
hasn't all cooked away, there'll be
plenty under the cup. This Is a very
nice way to make any kind ot a pie,
as tne gravy goes under me cup.

Post.
Tlmbales of Spinach.
Pick over two quarts of spinach,
wash thoroughly (changing the wa
ter many times), add salt and let It
boll for ten minutes. Boiling water
may b9 added when the spinach is set
to cook, or it may be cooked In the
water that clings to it by turning the
spinach frequently. Drain In a colan
der, pressing out all the water. Chop
very fine. Add half teaspoontul of
salt, half teaspoontul ot sugar, halt
teaspoontul of white pepper, one
fourth teaspoontul of grated nutmeg
and the yolks of three eggs. Set over
the fire and stir constantly while the
mixture heats a little. Turn Into but
tered tlmbnle mold (a tiny round of
paper should be set in the bottom
of the mold before it is buttered), set
the molds in a pan of boiling water
and let cook ten minutes. Serve with
rich brown sauce to which three ta
blespoonfuls of sherry and a table-
spoonful ot liquid from a mushroom
have been added. Washington Her
ald.
Hints.
Use the ordinary tongs that come
with boxes of candy for plucking the
hulls from strawberries.
To cure a sprain take the whites ot
eggs with powdered alum, made into
a plaster. A sure specific.
To make silk that has been washed
look like new, put a teaspoon ot
methylated BplrltB to a pint of rinsing
water and Iron while damp.
The burnt crust ot a loaf of bread
or cake may be much improved by
using a large grater by which the
burnt portion may be easily removed
In choosing poultry, see that the
beak and claws of the fowl are soft,
not stiff and horny. The bones of
young fowls are soft and easily brok
en.
Use cold boiled sweet potato for
baiting rat or mouse traps and you
will find It much more effective than
cheese or bacon rind In catching rats
or mice.
. Save your celery leaves; put in the
oven to dry until crisp; powder line;
you will find them very nice to flav
or soups and dust on pork or beet
when roast. '
When a white enamel vessel has be
come discolored, simply fill the ves
sel with water and add a teaspoontul
of chloride of lime. Let It boll a
tew minutes.
When a cork has fallen inside a
bottle pour enough strong ammonia
into the bottle to float the cork, and
let It stand a few days. The ammonia
will break or eat up the cork so -that
it can easily be extracted.
It all housekeepers who have over
alls to wash will simply soap them
well, then take them on the waBh
beard and scrub with the scrubbing
brush, they will find that the din
will come out very easily and wash
lug them will no longer be a dread,
Sponges should be hung where the
fresh air will reach them and where
they will dry thoroughly. It possible
the sponge should be dried in the
bright sunshine and thoroughly
scalded occasionally in soda and water.
BRIGHT EXPECTATIONS
FAIL TO MATERIALIZE
iron and Steel Market Is Rather Quiet
and Uncertain at Present
Railroad Orders Small.
The, "Iron Trade Review" says:
"The first half or the years has fall
ed to fulfill the rosy expectations en
tertained for it during the close of
last year, and there Is still much un
certainty concerning the future. A
rather quiet market with a fair activ
ity of mills and furnaces, Is expected
for the summer months, and many ob
servers believe that the fall will sea
decidedly Improved conditions.
"The pig Iron market has shown
little activity in any part of the coun
try. In tho Pittsburg district tho
withdrawal of Inquiries, for a largo
tonnage of basic and Bessemer has not
improved sentiment.
"The Baltimore & Ohio has ordered
1,009 all steel coke oars from tho
Cambria Steel Copany, 1,000 ail steel
coke cars from the Pressed Steel Oar
Company and 1,000 steel underframo
box cars of 80,000 pounds capacity
from the Standard Steel Car Oon
pany. Other buying by the railroads
during the past week has been In very
small volume."
The "Iron Age" says:
"The pig Iron situation appears to
bo of chief Interest this week. Un
questionably the volume ot business:
has considerably increased, but of
course at the expense of values. The)
June total of pig iron sales by New
York houses will be close to the lar
gest, and with some sellers the lar
gest for any month so far this year.
"Philadelphia reports the purchase
of 15.000 to 20,000 tons of basie pig
iron and several large lots ot foun
dry Iron. Sales of fairly largo quanti
ties both Northern and Southern foun
dry Iron, have been made in Pittsburg
and a local consumer is negotiating
tor 15,000 tons or more of baslo iron
tor delivery during the year.
"Some very low quotations are be
ing made on coke, and a Cleveland
furnace Interest has contracted lor
J.500 tons for July delivery at 1.6'o.
The old material market is dull, and
the most interesting development baa
been the rumor that the government
may take some action under the anti
trust la wagalnst the association of
buyers in the Philadelphia district."
