'Just watch yourself and see you do not shirk The common little way9 of being kind. FOOD EN CASSEROLE. Of course^ all cooking in casserole lis done in the oven. If one uses gas. lit may seem an expensive method of ?cooking, but when one realizes \ ow ?much can be done with the oven, the !work may be planned to save every ?blt of heat. There are on the market 'small ovens which can be used on the ?little simmer burner at a very slight ?expense. The oven will save its price lin a few weeks' gas bill. There are small stone dishes which may be used to serve hot bits of any vegetable or meat and make most ap petizing dishes. For example, if one has a tablespoonful or two of sweet breads, mushrooms or fish of any kind, ?they may be put into a small ramekin, ?white sauce added, and covered with ?crumbs and browned when needed. [For a family of five, one may have |8omethlng different in each dish, and 'each member of the family may be suited as to choice, provided they don't all want the same thing. Tongue which has been corned, if Hxioked for several hours, with season tings, a teaspoonful of Worcester shire sauce, a few drops of tabasco, ?half a cup of seeded raisins and a ?pint of beef stock, will be delicious land tender. The tongue may be re moved to a platter and the sauce ^poured around it. Steak may be browned and cooked .with onions, tomato or mushrooms, ?giving a variety in serving it. We are ;prone to tire of certain ways of serv ing dishes, though we think it is the ?food itself of which we are tired. Veal, though one of our expensive Imeats just now, may be used to add ?variety to the table, buying one slice ifrom the leg, brown it well and place ion a layer of carrots, turnip, onion and potato. Sprinkle with celery and pour over all the browned gravy, slightly thickened with flour. Bake ?lowly until tender. A most delicious casserole dessert ls baked bananas, which have a sauce of lemon butter and sugar poured over them. Serve with a half glass of cur rant jelly addded ten minutes before [serving. FUR TRIMS SUMMER COATEES Chinchilla, Swansdown and Ermine Rim These Popular Abbre viated Wraps. So many evening wraps and dressy short coatees are trimmed in fur that lt looks as though the garnish would be a part o,f the summer's finishes to the . best toilettes. Fur is more than a touch to evening wraps, while for the jaunty little abbreviated coatee, lt only rims them lightly. Chinchilla Is the most popular peltry, but we see many examples of ermine and swans down. Chinchilla looks rather heavy and wintry, while the white fur and swansdown give a light, summery air. The evening wrap is very sumptu ous. It is made in solid and in fig ured satins. Generally the flowers or designs are big and are painted so as to 3tand forth heavily. The back ground is white or light and the flow ers In the brilliant colors that are prevalent this season. Some of the* fashionable ones, too, ha^e a black or scarlet background with lighter . brilliant designs scattered over the surface. The new wraps are all short and round. Some are made godet, some with a Watteut plait, either from the middle of the back or from one ? shoulder. I FOR WEAR IN THE COIFFURE; Numerous Ornaments in Order If Woman Would Follow the Ex tremes of Fashion. If she would be very well equipped there are many little accessories for her tresses that the modes demand: If. for instance, the hair is worn low. there are certain heavy hairpins of plain real or Imitation shell to hold the knot in place. And more elabo rate are the mounted hairpins, with Imitation Jewels-these, of course, for dress and evening wear. I Combs and barrettes of real shell beautifully marked-are chosen by the woman who wears her hair high and keeps her tresses smooth and firm In the back by their use. I Very effective are the ornaments studded and inset with rhinestones. Some of the designs are most artistic and the stones beautifully set. To give the effect of those exquisite orna ments which are set in platinum, the French jewelry designers have used the rhinestones in a silvery metal fhat has the rhinestone finish, and wonderfully good looking the combi nation is. One may have this In bar rettes, those pretty bandeo ux, hair pins, and mounted combs. MAKES USEFUL IRON HOLDER Crochet Work That May Be Carried Out in Either of Two Materials, as May Be Preferred. This holder may either be worked In Scotch fingering wool or soft coarse crochet cotton. Commence in the center with twen ty-five chain, work down one side with one double into each stitch, and three Into the end stitch, one double in each stitch of the other side. In the cecond row work as for the first, but in order to shape the end, work two stitches in the second j stitch before the end, three in the end, : continue to make this Increase in each row until the required size, then work a row of one treble into each stitch in every other row of the double" stitches. For the edging on the straight side, work one double into a stitch, 5 chain, one treble into the first, pass over two stitches and repeat. For the loop work a row of chain stitches three Inches long, and fasten to the center of top with double stitches. The upstanding treble rows may be worked on the other side of the hold er, or it may be lined with a piece of flannel or a piece cut from the arm of an old kid glove, or the back of a large size glove. Hats Supple. Suppleness is one of the character* lstlc points of distinctive millinery. Hats are made without wire founda tions and practically may be folded and packed in half the usual space. For dressy hats, flowers are to have first favor as trimming. They will be .ouch used in encircling the crown, usually In a perfectly flat wreath or placed erect at the side in a stiff aigrette-like form of flowers and leaves. Some of the afternoon hats lave a combination vt tho twe trim LEFT FOR CONQUEROR OF ALL Space Above Flag at Half Mast la Supposed to Be Reserved for Banner of Angel of Death. Perhaps you have noticed that whenever a prominent person dies, especially if he is connected with the government, the flags on public build ings are hoisted only part of the way up. This is called "half-mast." Did you ever Btop to think what connec tion there could be between a flag j that was not properly hoisted and the death of a great man? Ever since flags were used in war ; it has been the custom to have the flag I of the superior or conquering nation j above that of the inferior or vanquish I ed. When an army found itself hope lessly beaten it hauled its flag down rar enough for the flag of the victors to be placed above it on the same ; pole. This was a token, not only o? submission, but of respect. In those days, when a famous sol dier died, flags were lowered out of respect to his memory. The custom long ago passed from purely military usage to public life of all kinds, the flag flying at half-mast being a sign that the dead man was worthy of universal respect. The space left above lt is for the flag of the great conqueror of all-the aogel of death. Family Tombstone Lost. His family tombstone had disap peared from the churchyard, was the remarkable allegation made by a man named Turnbull, a local alder man, at a meeting of the parishion ers of Berwick, Scotland, parish church, recently. Turnbull produced a paper certifying that a certain indi vidual, who was present at the meet lng, and signified his assent, had carted six loads of broken tombstones to the building of the new parish hall. Alderman Turnbull said he made the discovery about two years ago, but had refrained from mention ing that the tombstone was missing until he had made a careful search. The allegation that broken tomb stones had been taken to build the church hall was denied, in so far that the church wardens knew noth ing about lt. An Inquiry is to be made into the matter. Objects to One'Brand of Humor. "Many persons, for want of some thing to do," grimly commented Uncle Timrod Tarpy. "are putting in their time trying to think up new and orig inal variations of the asinine ejpres sion that so-and-so 1? the man thrt put *flue' in influence or took the cent' out of Incentive,' and so on, ad nau seam. And, as much as I abhor such vile habits, if I caught an individual at it I wouldn't chide or hinder bimi ror tne reason mat me ainu w ?f?eoa that would prompt him to indulge in such practices would drive him to wearing side whiskers along with one of these 'ere green hats with the bow In the back, or to arguing that the Progressives will come back Into the Grand Old Party, if he was Interrupted long enough to cause him to think of something else."-Kansas City Star. Court Ought to Sit Elsewhere. "The court, sitting in bane-" began the professor. "Ar-r-r-r-r!" snarled old Timrod Tarpy. "That's one of the reasons why the people are losing all respect for the courts! What chance in a law suit can a poor but honest man expect to have against greedy capital, when the courts do their settin- In banks? And that's the reason, r.oo, why faith in banks ain't what it used to be. Who wants to deposit money where there are a lot of court officials gawpin' at him? Why, blame it, I'll betcha, right now, there are banks that a fellei can scarcely scrouge his way into, for the judges and tlp-Btaffs and one thing and another clutterin' around in the way. What's this country comin' to, anyhow?" Ror,..inee Is Not Dead. You tell me that romance-love at first sight and all that kind of thing is dead? I tell you it isn't. It's sim ply out of style, that's all-backed oil the boards by all this fool triangular stuff that the problem plays talk about and that everybody thinks is the proper caper apd ls afraid to say ha or she doesn't like for foar of being called old-fashioned. Romance is the kind of thing that wont be downed-like truth-and when you maBh it in at one place ia sticks out at another. If it has been cultivated out of the favored social classes, here'B hoping the downtrod den masses are getting theirs-and 1 believe they are.-Hattie Lee MacAl ister, in the American Magazine. Miser's Revenge. An old miser, who died in Wales recently, fell out with his relatives over a trifle several years ago, and he thereupon changed nearly all his money Into banknotes. Each bank note he tore into two, burning ono por tion and retaining the other. When his relatives came to examine his ef fects after his death they found, to their chagrin, valueless halves of the banknotes and a letter which con tained the paragraph: "All mv money I leave to ray dear relatives to be equally divided be tween them. I am sure they will not quarrel about it." The miser had destroyed the halves of the banknotes bearing the numbers. Newfoundland's Petroleum.
