? NESTOR AND THE ? ? ? X NYMPHS. ? By Stuart B. Stone. '' Te will visit the art gallery to day," announced Miss Ophelia Logs don. "Huh: what for?" demanded Uncle JCostor. "To see the handiwork of the great Piasters?co gaze upon their matchless icUes and harmonies?to study their sublime madonnas aud seraphims," ?answered Miss Ophelia, who was cor responding secretary of the Tuckers Corners Literary club and chairman of tLe district school debating society. ] "Oh, shucks," objected Uncle Nes I tor. "That there 14-colored picture, of I "The Lord's Supper' and the grapes an4-Vutermelons chromo in (he dining room et home is art enough for any body, ixt's go to the firewokrs. What 4o >oa asf, Mirandy?" Afisi !Viirandy looked rather' help Tutac?y m. her daughter. Aunt Miran da was treasurer of the ^Woman's Home Missionary Society and first vice president of the Ladies' Sewing Circle, and consequently well posted on heathendom and needlewom. But she was somewhat shy on art. "Oh, I guess a little art will be good for us," she declared. "And Ophelia says it's so upliftinV "All right," acceded Uncle Nestor. "'But I'd a heap ruther go to the union stock yards or to the state fair." The trio paid their way into the great marble building with the cou chant lions at the portals, climbed a flight of marble stairs and looked up pn the first picture. It was an impres sionistic bit, a baffling daub of car -men and greenish sticks and splashes. "What in Sr.m Hill and Dan Tucker is It about?" asked Uncle Nestor. j "I guess it ain't done," surmised Aunt Miranda. An attendant standing near explain ?d. "It is De Vanuier's 'Harvest Moon';" and Uncle Nestor chuckled. At the very next picture Uncle Nestor halted, grinning u i:.h delight. 'Aunt Miranda, blushing a vivid coch ineal-red, tugged at him. "Nestor -Jjogsdou. you stop locking at the trol icksome picture and folltw me.'* ? "Those are wood-nymphs," whisper ed Ophelia. "Come on, pa, for good ness sake." ? ??.-With great difficulty they dragged aim past "Venus Rising from the Sea" and "Nereids at Piay" until the safer natural hiEtory section was reached. ..-Here they halted to study the tranquil iine and kittens of Rosa Bonheur. Uncle Nestor became immediately in terested. "If that ere ain t a dead ringer for Bill Simpson's old brindle!" he exclaimed. Then, turning to a guide, "Who painted that 'ere cow?*' '^Bonheur," replied the attendant "I guess that's the duck that board ed at the Skeeters' last summer?set around on rail fences and painted but terflies and toadfrogs and new moons and road wagons-" They jerked him away, into the chamber Of statuary reproductions. ? "Hummin' name-strings! Mora ;wood-nymphs," he snorted in great :?lee. "Got their arms all chopped off ?at the elbow, though?guess they froze-" ' ? But the frightened ladies, hurried ihim through the chamber at a great ? igart, into'the Japanese section, where they stared uncomprehendingly at sampans and samuri and tea ?ousts while Uncle Nestor- drank in the glory of the geisha girl, into the Turkish section where jthe. ladies weariedly pored over mosques and minarets while Un cle Nestor discussed the odalisques with the guide, and into the Spanish corner, where they shuddered over a bullfight while Uncle Nestor discov ered a sprightly senorita with a tam bourine. By the time they had made the round of the first door, Aunt Mi randa sighed. "Let's go to the stock yards. I don't like the great mas ters." "Shucks, no! Think about the matchless stones and harmonies," ob jected Uncle Nestor, studying "Roman Ladies at the Bath." ''Let's go to the fair grounds," sigh ed Miss Ophelia. "I'd rather 'ook at real animals." "Come on, then," said Uncle Nestor, rteractantly ~ taking his e'yei off f'A: Greek Flower-Seller." "But ('tell you art's great stuff. And them wood nymphs-" ? , "Sh-h-h-h!" warned Aunt Miranda. MisB Sophie Wright, founder of the first night school: in New Orleans,, Is one of the few. women whb have re ceived the loving cup which is annual ly presented to the citizen who has done the greatest public good for the city during the year. In this cup waB a check for $10,000, which had been subscribed by the citizens of New Or leans to pay the debt Miss Wright had assumed in enlarging her night school to make room for the pupIlB who were clamoring for admission. According to Messrs. Henriet and Bonyssy ozone is produced by the ul tra-violet rays of the sun in the upper atmosphere and the amount contain ed in thp air near the ground increas es when air currents descend from the upper regions. "I'm taking dictation from a novelist just now," said the blond stenograph er to the girl at the lunch counter. "Is he a rapid composer?" "Naw. I could take his dictation with* one hand and write a better novel with the other." Estate Notice. All persons indebted to the estate of Catherine E. Connor, deceased, 'must make payment of same to M. S. Connor, Esq., Attorney, St. George, S. C, at once, and all persons hold ing claims against the said estate must present the same duly itemized and verified to the above named at torney, within thirty days, or be de barred payment. Julia E. West bury. Administratrix. Estate C. E. Connor, deceased, Bowman, S. C. May 27, 1910. Why Not This? Have you ever been delayed for hours in a railroad station and corn l.-e'!ed to remain in tie dreary place without a companion, with nothing but old papers and magazines for di version? Few persons who travel :iave not encountered this situation. Why can not a bulletin be printed ?j indicate places of interest in the oty cr town, with directions as to how to reach those place?, and those signs je hung in plain view in the stations? This is work which could be done by the women's clubs in a city. Often ne has a long, tedious wait, and it would, indeed, be pleasant to get out into the city and see one, if no mjre, pi the important places, and of pi int ed instructions were right in view '.he timid would not hesitate to go but. Give us also tne names of respectable restaurants. One might get these places to advertise on the bulletin, which would pay for printing it. How many strange women alone or with children know where to go for a luncheon in a strange <;Ity? Some go ;nto the nearest p' .ce around the de pot, not always the most cleanly 'places, and often in not very respect able districts. A timid traveler will suffer in silence before asking ques tions, and it seems this bulletin could be made so very useful that it would be a good plan tc aave such a one printed and placed in every station where waits are possible. One of the dreariest days I ever spent in my life was at a station with nothing to read but a copy of the Jchnstown flood, a backless book discovered in the ope rator's desk. Yet there was a library within ten minutes' car ride, and not an official at the station or any of cne loungers knew where it was lo cated. I doubt it some of taera knew the city had a library at all. Orange Layer Cake. Cream four ounces of butter with four ounces of sugar, then add grad ually four well beaten eggs, sift in half a pound of flour and one tea spoonful of baking powder, then add the grated rind of one crange and two tablespconfuls of milk. Mix well and divide into buttered ami floured layer tins, spread evenly and quickly and bake in a hot oven for about fifteen minutes. Turn out to cool. Now take the strained juice of half an crange and half a lemon, put them into a small saucepan, add a level tablespoonful of cornstarch, moistened with one gill of cold water, add the grated rind of half an or auge and four heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar. Stir over the fire till they thicken. When cool spread between the two pieces of cake. Then ice with orange icing. Tc make the orange frosting, pare the rind very thinly from one orange am soak it in the juice for one nour and a half. Sift eignt ounces of confec tioners' sugar into a basin, add the strained juice. Beat for a few min utes and spread on the cake. Cut in to neat squares or triangles.

It would be a goo<. idea - to have a kodak and take the children's pictures in everyday at tire; in-their Sunday best, at play, at work, asleep and wide awake, pout ing, laughing and In every mood, then use these pictures as a frieze in the room. They can all be done in kodak colors, or made into blue prints. The latter Is not so lasting, yet !ook pret ty on a white-papered wall. Cat Christening. Now what do you think of having a cat christening? You might think more of it, especially when you hem that the kitten is valued at $50. Well, the day he was christeued and was madae to henceforth take the name o:' "Tip-toes," the owner's various friends were invited in. Tip-toes was the center of attraction of course, and the recipient of several ribbons, bells and a little milk bowl. Pineapple Pie. Line a pie plate with pastry. Mix lightly together the well beaten yolks of four Jggs, one cupful of granulat ed sugar, one cupful of grated pine apple and the stifly beaten whites of two eggs. Bake till ready In a mod erate oven. Cover with a meringue made with the whites of hree eggs stiffly beaten and three tablespoon uls of sugar added. Serve hot or cold Notice of Discharge. Take notice that on the second day Of July," 1910, the undersigned will file.his final account as guardian of the estate ot Evans Daniels, with the Judge of Probate for Orangeburg County, S.

Paint that sticks to glass can be removed with hot vinegar. Good stool knives are better when sharpened at intervals by a profes sional. Often arrangements can be made with the butcher to take all knives in the house and include them with his knives for sharpening. This is especially convenient in the country, where stores are hard to reach and where the butcher's cart Is a frequent visitor. To keep milk toast from being sog gy, as it too frequently is, try serving the boiling hot, buttered milk in a covered pitcher, passing it with crisp, hot toast. In this way each person can have toast as soft or as crisp as desired. The housekeeper who wants "the besi". does her own marketing and iDes it early, before the foodstuhs ire picked over or wilted from the hot sun. More Americans should understand cooking with curry powder. It makes, a delicious change for the cooking of meats, rice, eggs and fish. An anglo [pdian will tell you we know nothing of the use of curries, hut that is no reason why we should not learn. It Is an unusual child indeed who does not delight in listening to story telling or bright little songs at bed time, and the nurse who is much with children will do well to treasure up all such material that comes in her way. Being used to children and having a sincere love for them makes one's work easier, as even very little children seem to know instinctively who their real friends are and to be more easily controlled by them. The newest idea In extravagant dressing is a perfumed shoe tree which lends fragrance to the house slippers. The wood is cut into long slits or has a hole bored in the cen ter Into which the perfume is poured. These are put into satin, suede and bronze slippers. In one home, In the rear of the hall is a low hatrack on which children can hang their coats, hats and mit tens when they come in from school. The hanger was made with two stout steel brackets and a curtain pole fitted with hooks on which the arti cles were held. On one end of the pole was hung a whisk broom, and each tot was taught its use. To remove iron rust from any white fabric lay the spot over a tea kettle of boiling water. Place a cut tomon over the spot, pressing firmly. Remove occasionally in order to al low the juice- to evaporate and the stain will disappear before one's eyes, no matter how stubborn or how deep set The chief ohlectlon of many house keepers to the use of fish is the odor it kavrs alterwards. Add a half cup of vinegar to the >ater in which the dishes and silver are washed, rinse them in hot- water, and the odor disappears at once. Frying and baking pans in which fish has been cooked should first he wiped out with an old newspaper, then washed with strong soda and water, and heated red hot. The water in. which the-, kitchen utensils have been washed should not be emptied down the kitchen, sink If it Is possible to avoid it, but poured down an outside drain. If it does 'go down the kitchen drain it should be followed by a strong solution of soda water and a cup of vinegar. Otherwise, the odor of fish will linger in the kitchen evei: after it has been thoroughly aired. Pressing a Skirt. A cloth skirt should never be put sway in an unbrushed state, as noth ing contributes 10 give it a worn and shabby appearance more qulckl) .nan docs the little omission, the dir' .vorking .into the cloth and eutirelj destroying its freshness. When taket off it should be subjected immediate ly to a thorough shaking and then ?rushed well and hung up in a dust wroof wardrobe, or covered with at enveloping cotton sheet. It should never be hung inside out, as this tends to crease it almost more than anything else. ? When pressing a skirt out-it is al ways advisable to lay a damp cot ton cloth ? over-the material so that U is not touched by the iron. This prevents the -material becoming shiny, while it obviates any fear of its being scorched. In making frills of soft material, such as muslin, lawn or chiffon, a second gathering thread should he run in just below the first. This makes the frill set more evenly, and obviates the necessity for stroking with the needle, which is not to be recommended, except in the ca? of i-alico. nainsook and fabrics of a like nature. How to Use the Pumice Stone. The pumice stone has been found valuable in the removal of buperiluous hair from the face or arms, but it should be used only after the parts have been moistened with peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia, then gently rubbed with the soaped pumice. Hub the pumice over a cake of pure castile soap before starting the work. This keeps the hair oil, yet it is no as surrance it will not grow, for it Is al most impossible to kill hair roots, even with electricty, the best Know:; means, which is not always reliable *nd extremely painful.
