BE UP AND DOING THINGS s 15he mi'.l.Hgg.LilMJ.i.ai.WH..l.U'JJ)ll.lJ GOLDEN WEDDING I T Is given to few persons to com I memorato fifty years of married - life; and because of Its rarity a "Golden Wedding" Is the fitting title that the festivity bears. This roman tic and touching custom Is of German origin, but It has taken root In Amer ican soli to become nationally" accept -d, and the couple who celebrate their golden wedding usually make It the occasion of a great family reunion at an elaborate dinner, after which a re ception Is held. Not Infrequently, how ever, the aged couple prefer an after noon reception on purely conventional lines, receiving, with their children and grandchildren about them, In a draw ing-room decked with yellow flowers. ADDRESSES IT Is the approved custom In Eng land to address a letter to a gen- tleman as follows: John R. Simp son, Esq.; to a tradesman the name Is preceded by the title Mr.; to a servant It would be written John Simpson. Americans use Mr. or Esq. without reference to the English distinction A well-bred person would not, how ever, Ignore all ruling on this point and address a dinner Invitation, for ex ample, to John J. Jones. It la a mis take to address a man In this form: John P. Jones, Esq., Jr. John P. Jones, Jr., Is the form to use. A woman's name Is Invariably pre ceded by the title Mrs.1 or Miss. An address should never be In this form: Mrs. Captain Lane, Mrs. Judge White, Mrs. Doctor Burns. In America a wo man does not assume her husband's honorary title, and the wife of the President even Is Mrs. Roosevelt. In writing to a practicing woman physi cian, the address, when the communi cation Is professional, should be In this form: Dr. Eleanor T. Blank. For a so cial communication 1t Bhould be In this form: Miss Eleanor T. Blank, or, Mrs. John P. Blank. KNIFE AND FORK IT Is an evidence of careless train ing In table manners to mash food In between the prongs of the fork, to turn the concave side of the fork up and, loading It with selections from different foods on the plate, to lift the whole, shovel-wise, to the tnouth. No less reprehensible Is It to hold knife and fork together In the air when the plate Is passed up to the host or hostess for a second helping, or, When pausing In the process of eating, to rest the tip of the knife and fork on the plate's edge and their handles on the cloth. When not In" active serv ice both these utensils must remain resting wholly on the plate, and at the conclusion of a course they should be placed together, their points touching the center of the plate, their handles resting on the plate's edge. .Not only fish, njeats, vegetables and made dishes, but Ices and frozen pud dings, melons, and salads as well, are eaten with a fork.. It Ib a conspicu ous error In the ethics of good manners and epicureanism to cut lettuce, chic ory, etc., with a knife. Lettuce leaves are folded up with the fork and lifted to the mouth. COUGHS AND CROUP LOBELIA (Indian tobacco), a quick and safe emetic, also an excel lent expectorant, Is handy to have about where there are children. With rod puccoon (Sangulnarla Cana densis), It Is especially useful In cases of croup. As red puccoon Is, further, a good laxative and expectorant, It comes In well for all sorts of fever ish cold. It Is a curious looking plant with compound three-lobe leaves, dark gre?n, richly mottled with red. Where the leaves Join, there Is a dull red up standing flower which country children call Jack-ln-the-Pulplt. In the fall this flower Is succeeded by a cone shaped clump of brilliant scarlet ber ries, only less gorgeous than the ber ries of Indian turnip, Indian turnip Is an excellent remedy for colds, especially those with an ob stinate tendency tpward the lungs. Bulbs fresh from the earth are best, but dry ones will answer by soaking. If the case Is urgent, scrape the root, and swallow a pill of It; It is hotter than fire, but healing. Make either sy rup or candy by boiling the roots to a strong tea, and adding sugar maple sugar, If possible. If It Is left as syrup, pvlt whisky or brandy well burned Into It, one-third spirits to two thirds syrup. OPTIMISTIC TO be an optimistic roung woman is to be able to show an even temper, rarely ruffled by trifles, and thus to win the 'esteem of many men. The happy heroine of real life Is not the heroins of the hovel, who takes offence with appalling readiness, and who Is difficult to please and pla cate. The happy heroine, for rnamplo, does not fall out easily with her men friends, nor forgive them reluctantly. She has what I think I bad best call social grit and courage. She can take a trying situation cheerfully. When her pretty muslin frock H stepped upon by a careless young man at a dance she does not accept his blushing apol ogy with an angry stare. She makes him ten times more repentant and everlastingly her admirer by saying: "Of course I forgive you. I know you are sorry, but accidents will happen, end if you will get a pin or two I think I can make It all right." When her escort Is tardy, when her seat at the theatre Is none of the best, and when Mr. A. and Mr. B. are dila tory In paying their duty calls, she does not look either disgusted or In sulted. Her good temper, then, gives her an Influence that all men respect, and her willingness to be amused and to make the best of everything always excites their unbounded admiration. Men are never slow to devoutly honor the girlish philosopher who does not lose her cheerfulness when a train Is lost or late, who does not sulk because the rain fell on her best hat at the picnic, who Is not given to frtt!ng. frowning, worrying or complaining, and who la ever and always a womanly Woman. s WOM SEES Marjorie Dane's Latest Patterns GIRL'S THREE-QUARTER COAT 6700 THE long shoulder effect Is appar ent In the garments of the vnlincrAr f-nnttneront na well An those of the grown-ups and this little coat exemplifies It In an altogether charming and novel way. In the il lustration the material la blue broad cloth and the trimming consists of the material embroidered In dots of vari ous sizes, the work being executed with very heavy thread, while the edges are piped with velvet. But for Immediate wear white serge and soft finished plqui will be charming as well as the light weight cloth, although this latter material, In such bright . colors as the blue and red, Is greatly In vogue. A little later the same model will be found admirable for serge, cheviot and all materials of a similar sort. The coat Is distinctly novel and la made with a little body lining In which the full sleeves are Inserted together with the fronts and the back of the coat proper. These last are cut with shoulder extensions and are arranged over and Joined to the body lining. ii ii Fitting, TAILOR-FINISH, so-called, means sewing up the waist single, bon ing It, and applying a lining after. Or the process may be reversed. With a waist cut sb directed, baste the seams by the dotted lines, sew up. press and bone, all but the shoulder-seams and those under the arms. In pressing woollen stuff, remember not to wet it; It draws enough mjplstUre from the air, and water makes It look shiny. Baste the unsewed seams to stand upon the right side, try on, and pin up any slack until the fit Is snug. Then hold the pinned lines firm, and mark them with chalk. Take off the garment, un pin It, and put lines of basting stitches In the chalk marks. Next trim away surplus stuff, always leav ing a good searn. In basting up the shoulder-seams, stretch the upper half of each front as much as possible, and hold the back slightly full to It. No matter about puckers; they come out from pressing. By thsu stretching the fronts, the ugly and troublesome wrinkles either side of the collar are wholly done away with. If the lining Is fitted In stead of the outside, the same end Is attained by taking a seam the eighth of an inch deep, and three Inches long in the fronts, letting it be gin Just In frent of the shoulder-seam, and extend toward the bust. Notch all seams well before pressing. ii in Improper THE woman who puts on a severely tailored dress and then adds to It all the little accessories that belong to a calling costume Is a sorry sight, yet one that we meet many times in our Journeys. Why Is It that many sensible women will do these unaccountable things? The other morniwg I met a friend who has a large purse on which to dress. She had on a tailor-made gown, stiff black hat. dogskin gloves, all of which were In good taste for a mourning outfit; but to spoil the whole picture and ut terly without reason she had In her hand a beautiful white purse beaded with gold and green. What she should AN'S HOME PAGE , s The oddly shaped collar finishes the neck and there are pretty as well as convenient patch pockets. The quantity of material required for the medium size (10 years) Is 4 yards 27, 2 yards 44, or 2 yards 62 Inches wide. The pattern 6760 Is cut In sizes for children of 6, 8, 10 and 12 years of age. GIRL'S DRESS B524. Such little dresses as this one are In demand at all times. They can be made from simple materials simply trimmed and used for school, or they can be made from a finer material combined with lace chemisette and worn for more dressy occasions while their becoming and altogether grace ful lines remain the same. This one gives a suggestion of the prlncesse Idea In the front, yet Is full enough to be becoming to childish figures and shows the belt at sides and back. As shown the material Is Jacqueminot red cash mere, stitched with beldlng silk, piped with velvet and combined with chem isette of cream colored lace, but veil ings are greatly liked for girls' wear and there are also a number of sturdy Boning. Hooks and Eyes s i ii but take care the notches do not go too close. Lay an extra thickness of flannel over the press-board, and never have an Iron hot enough to give even a smell of scorching. If In haste, lay a strip of waste cloth over the seam to shield It from an lson too hot. Great heat Is, however, Inimical; a quick moving Iron cannot give the shaping which pressing Is Intended to accom plish. Hold stay-casing next to you, and put It on very full, leaving several In ches free at both upper and lower ends. The sewed part should not come nearer than three Inches to the arm holes. Soak whalebones until they are soft enough to sew through. Push them In from the bottom, cover two In ches with the free tape, then sew through and through bone and casing, push the bone In hard, sew again two Inches lower down, and again at the walst-llne. This pushing in makes the bones curve In such fashion as to stretch the waist and hold It un wrlnkled. Tne great thing about hooks and eyes Is to have them match accurately. One way of achieving that Is to pin the edges together, mark them across with chalk at proper distances, and take a loose whlp-stltch from one mark to another. Then pull the edges apart, and clip the stitches, leaving an Combinations have had was a small leather purse or shopping bag, and the gaudy bag she carried should have been left at home until she- was dressed In accordance. Another common fault Is wearing a handsome afternoon gown of some nice material, elaborately trimmed, a feath er hat, and a pair of old black gloves. What could be worse? Think of this picture and I am sure you can recall seeing It many times. A pair of white gloves cost a few dellars, I admit, but with care they will last a whole sea son, and they are an absolute nwn. airy to the finish of a dressy costume. Vanity, thy name la woman, I fear as regards feet, and yet a mistaken materials, such ap-erge and checks, while the variety of pretty bright plaids this season Is unusually at tractive, i The dress is made with body lining whlctt Is faced to form the chemisette and consists of the front portion of the waist with front gore In one, the backs of the waist and the circular portions of the skirt. The waist and skirt are gathered at their lower edges and are Joined, the seams being concealed by the belt, while the sleeves are the fav orite ones that art moderately full but tucked at their lower dges to be snug over the wrists. The quantity of material required for the medium size (10 years) is 4 yards 27, B yards 44, or 314 yards 62 Inches wide, with yard of all over lace. The pattern 6624 Is cut In sizes for girls of 6, 8, 10 and 12 years of age. Patterns will be sent to any address on receipt of ten cents each, by Mar jorie Dane, 44 East Twenty-third street. New York City. To avoid delay, do not full to state nine of pattern desired, and be sure to write name and address plainly. end each sMe. Another way Is to snip holes In a strip of cambric, lay it on the wrong Bleln -of each piece, and brush loose ehalk over the holes. Still another, perhaps the easiest to a good needle-woman, is to Bew on hooks as they appear to be needed, then slip an eye over each hook, and sevt them on to match. Applied lining should always stand a little loose, but not enough to ke clumsy. The seams In them should be sewed a trifle larger than those In the outside, and all allowance made at the edges. Silk' waist linings, so long the haH-mark of fine frocks, are In a meas ure out of vogue, as they do not stand wear and perspiration to match the firmer linens and eettons. It Is well 'o bate together the eeam-edges of lin ings and outside at the shoulders. At neck and waist the two, of course, are faced together. In making up a lined bodice, lay the gown stuff right side down upon the lap-board, put the lining over It, and Join the two by a perfectly straight line of basting where the waist Is to be. Push the lining faintly full to ward this basting both above and be low, and baste two more lines each about half an Inch from the first. Then haste together all the way. After all the pieces are lined thus, baste up the seams, and fit as In tailor-making. in Dress it St vanity at times and a foolish woman. Since short skirts have come In so universally for street wear, many girls are Inclined to dross their feet In hlgh lieeled shoes, fancy ties and other In appropriate footwear for atraat, use. If you are In a short skirt made in the walking length, then the only shoe that you can wear within reason Is a heavy boot. A shoe with a Louis heel can only be worn with a fancy dress, and nevejr tor walking the streets of either the city or country. If you can only have one pair of shops, then strike a happy medium, such as a military Oxford tie with military heel. USE OF NAPKIN "T"HIS must not be spread out to Its I full extent over the lap or chest, and none but the vulgarian tucks his napkin In the top of his waistcoat To unfold It once and lay It across the knees Is enough. At the conclusion of a meal enjoyed at the table of a friend, It Is not necessary diligently to fold the square of linen In Its original creases and lay It by the plate. Since that napkin will not be used again until it Is washed, It Is all-sufficient to place Is unfolded oh the table when rising. This rule Is not followed when visiting for a day or two In a friend's house. Then the guest should do as tne hoBt and hostess do,-for not -In every household Is a fresh napkin sup plied at every meal. REHEARSAL BEFORE the celebration of an elab orate wedding In church the bridal party and the attendants should experiment with the manoeu vering and grouping Of the bridal pro cession. To call a rehearsal the bride ascertains the day and hour when It will be possible to assemble the great- eat number of her maids and ushers and then by notes or verbal request appoints the time and place for their assembling, and gives orders for the opening of the churoh. The bride's mother may take occa sion to entertain the young people at a luncheon or dinner after or before the rehearsal; but this Is not necessary, and any morning, afternoon or evening agreed upon the persons chosen may gather at the church and praotlce the designed order of procession, until prompt and graoeful manoeuverlng on the wedding day Is Insured. LARD BRIGHT, new, clean tin, unmarred and well-soldered, Is the thing for keeping lard. Stone or earth enware absorbs more or leBS of grease. Besides, very hot lard may crack a stone-Jar if it is poured rapidly into It; further, lard expands In freez ing, the same as water, though not to the same degree. Where a year's supply of lard Is put up at once, a sweet, wooden barrel Is not to be despised.- The trouble with barrels is to get them hot-grease tight. Liquid lard, like molasses, will creep out through cracks water would never penetrate. Lard In bulk should be kept cool, clean, and closely covered. Lay a clean cloth underneath the cover, and, when the cover Is lifted, shako the cloth well so no dust can drop Into the laxd. With a barrel, It Is better to take out a fortnight's supply In some thing smaller; for example, a special lard-bucket of pressed tin, with no seams to leak. Keep the barrel upon a platform three or four Inches above the store-room floor. This lets air go underneath, and prevents rats from undermining to gnaw through the bottom. A BLEACH Mine Water. This Is not Btrlctly a bleacher; Indeed, It has so many uses, It Is hard to classify. It 1b good to soften water, to sweeten drains, to keep milk vessels wholesome, to make milk Itself set Well upon squeamish or delicate stomachs, to test air for ex cess of oarbonlc acid too much car bonic acid Instantly crusts the clear lime water over to take out the marks of grease, which stronger alkalies have removed; In fact, for so many, many things no house ought to be without it. By beating it well Into sweet oil of linseed oil until the .mixture Is creamy, there reBultB one of the best household remedies for burns and costs hardly anything but the trouble of making, which Is too slight to be wnrth a thought. Put a lump of quick lime as big as the two fists Into a clean earthen pitcher, cover It six In ches deep with cold water, stir woll with a wooden spoon, and let stand six hours. Pour off the clear liquid with out disturbing the lime, but let It run through double cheeBe-cloth. -Keep in small bottles tightly oorked. In use, always pour off half an Inch from the top of a bottle newly opened, or one that has stood for a day undisturbed. Thus one gets rid of the cruet the fine Irrldescent pellicle formed by the lime combined with c&rbonlo acid. HELPED LINCOLN Dr. A. N. Porter, of Russol, Kan., who Ib In Danville visiting friends, was one of the prominent women of this city In the days when Abraham Lincoln practised law here, and was a personal friend of the great president, says the Danville (111.) Republican. Lincoln was often entertained at her home, as were also Daniel Voorhees and other men of note. During Lin coln's first campaign one of the biggest rallies In tho State was held In this place. As a special feature, It was planned to have a number of young women mounted on horses In the par ade. Mrs. Porter, well known as an equestslan, was selected to get to gether the delegation. She mounted her house and, accompanied by Rebecca Lawrence, rode over Vermillion county, and on the day of the rally had eighty young women, each on a handsome steed, In the procession. The older citizens of Vermillion and surrounding counties who were In Danville that day recall how the hats were lifted and circled In the alf as cheers were given while the horsewomen passed. Each rider was attired In black skirt and wast, wore a white plume on her hat, and streamers of ribbon from one shoulder. At the head of the delega tion was Mrs. Porter, In command. She carried a big flag, the lower end of the pole resting in a pocket of her skirt, made for the purpose. While she steadied the flag with one hand she controlled her prancing saddler with the other. The delegation followed the carriages In which rode Lincoln, Judge David Davis, of Bloomlngton, and Judge O. L. Davis of Danville. When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated Mrs. Porter declared she would never take part In any political demonstration, and though often appealed to afterward has kept tba row to this day.

If the pxtlent's skin shows a ten dency to a growth of hair, no formula Including lanollne must be used. Here are some simple but effective direc tions for facial massago: To massage the forehead, the fingers of the right hand should be placed upon the right temple,, with sufficient firmness to hold the skin In place, while the first finger of the left hand goes slowly and thoroughly with a circular mottor over the surfac-, cov ering a space of about the size of a sliver dollar each timo, and pressing at the same time deep enough to move the muscles upon the bones under neath. The next movement Is to smooth with considerable pressure the skin above tho eyebrows, using tl.o first and second fingers of both hands, and In the same manner pass around the sockets of the oyes, always using the rotary movements. One of the most useful movements for giving tono to the cheeks 1.j hat of gently pinching them with thumb and forefinger, taking a deep pinch s; as to have the muscles and underlying structures receive the benefit.
