On Her Side.
"I didn’t know you had any Idea of

"I didn’t. The Idea was hers."-

Simple, Rather.
He—You are the only woman I ever
loved.
She —Do you expect me to believe
that?
He —I do. I swear It Is true.
She —Then I believe you. Any man
who would expect a woman to believe
that cannot have been much In the
company of women.
Probably Got Off.
Apropos of certain unfounded
charges of drunkenness among the
naval cadets at Annapolis, Admiral
Dewey, at a dinner In Washington,
told a story about a young sailor.
"The sailor, after a long voyage,"
he said, "went ashore in the tropics,
and, It being a hot day, he drank, In
certain tropical bars, too much beer.
"As the sailor lurched under his
heavy load along a palm-bordered ave
nue, his captain hailed him Indig
nantly.
" ‘Look here,’ the captain said, 'sup
pose you were my commander, and
you met me In such a condition as
you’re lu now, what would you do to
me?’
" ’Why, sir,’ said the sailor, ‘I would
n’t condescend to take no notice of
you at all, sir.’ ’’
IT'S FOOD
That Restores and Makes Health
Possible.
There are stomach specialists as
well as eye and ear and other special
ists.
One of these told a young lady, of
New Brunswick, N. J., to quit medi
cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
"For about 12 months I suffered se
verely with gastritis. 1 was unable
to retain much of anything on my
stomach, and consequently was com
pelled to give up my occupation.
"I took quantities of medicine, and
had an idea 1 was dieting, but 1 con
tinued to suffer, and soon lost 16
pounds in weight. I was depressed
In spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af
fected that It was impossible to be
come interested In even the lightest
reading matter.
"After suffering for months I de
rided to go to a stomach specialist.
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve Immediately.
It was the keynote of a new life.
"1 found that 1 had been eating too
much starchy food which I did not di
gest, and that the cereals which 1 had
tried had been too heavy. I soon
proved that It is not the quantity of
food that one eats, but the quality.
"In a few weeks 1 was able to go
back to my old business of doing cler
ical work. I have continued to eat
Orape-Nuts for both the morning and
•venlng meal. I wake In the morning
with a clear mind and feel rested. I
regained my lost weight In a short
time. I am well and happy again and
owe It to Grape-Nuts." Name given

able to be copied In seal plush, which
WHEN MAKING A VALANCE
Difficulties Not at All Insurmount
able If They Are Properly
Approached.
The main difficulty in making a va
lance Is to keep it in place without
putting tacks into the furniture or
having it on narrow strips that pull
out from under the mattress. One
woman has hit upon a plan of having
heavy unbleached sheeting cut Just
the size of the bed, or a little within
the line of the sides. The sheeting is
shrunk before being used. The va
lance Is sewed to It on each side and
across the end.
The cover Is then spread over the
springs and under the mattress,
which holds it firmly in place. If the
valance Is of thin material, that needs
frequent washing, it is a good Idea to
put It into a narrow band, provided
with buttonholes at intervals close
enough to prevent sagging. Buttons
are sewed to the sheeting In places to
correspond.
ADORNMENT FOR HAIR.
Fillet for the hair made of gold
cloth sewn with turquoise. The aig
rette is white.
To Clean Felt Hats.
First, all the trimming is removed
and the felt given a thorough brush
ing. From a hardware dealer pur
chase, for a few cents, a sheet of the
finest sandpaper made. Cut Into
piece around a convenient-sized block
of wood, begin sandpapering the hat,
being careful always to rub in the
direction of the nap. Continue this
process, using a new piece of sand
paper when necessary, until the felt
begins to take on a new and clean
appearance. When the felt becomes
clean the nap is slightly dampened
and the felt pressed with a moder
ately hot iron.
The Newest Tea Gosies.
Quite the newest tea cosies are
faaolnatlng creations heavily em
broidered in an open pattern to show
off a silk lining of a gay color. That
Che cosey may fit over any sized tea
pot. even the most capaolous. It has
end pieces let In, and these are of
plain linen, unadorned like the reet,
•o that here the colored lining does
not show through. The seams of the
ooeey are covered by a handsome
white cord, artistically knotted here
and there to give a pretty effect.
Is now so much used for long coats.
Materials required: B*4 yards velve
teen 72 Inches wide, 6 yards lining 44
Inches wide.
The third costume shown is in lau
rel leaf green. The skirt has a panel
front and back, and at sides Is
trimmed with a band of burnished
gold and green trimming. The coat
has a vest of the same trimming; a
band of it Is taken from each side the
front and raised high in the centre
back. Hat of folded satin trimmed
with long grey wings. Materials re
quired. 12*6 yards 24 inches wide, 4
yards trimming, yards satin for
lining coat, 4 yards sateen for skirt
lining, 4 buttons.
DESIGNED FOR THE NURSERY
Pretty Things That Will Properly Set
Forth the Apartments of the
Little Folks.
So many charming things are made
for the nursery nowadays that it Is
a delight for young mothers to set out
to furnish the apartment devoted to
the little folks.
Sets of basin and pitcher In neat
enameled stands are decorated with
Kate Greenaway figures.
Bassinets like large market baskets
having stout handles and lined with
silk and lace, are very convenient with
silk and lace, and very convenient
when moving the wee baby from room
to room.
A stand of enameled wicker has :
four trays for holding baby’s clothes. ■
It is very compact when shut, but
when required these may all be open
ed at the same time by pushing out
different ways.
Small clothes-trees of white painted
wood are copies in miniature of what
the grown-ups use.
A basket, with compartments to 1
hold six small bowls, is handy when
dressing the Infant. The porcelain !
bowls are marked safety pins, sponge, 1
soap, nipples, etc.
Some Uses for Matting.
Straw matting may be put to many
uses besides the conventional one of
covering floors.
Table covers may be made of the
fine, closely woven Japanese matting,
hemmed at each end.
As a finish to the lower part of a
wall matting which is not too heavy
serves quite as well as burlap and is
a change from the more usual cover
ing.
Settee cushions may be made, or at
least covered, with fine, pliable kind
of matting, to match the strip on the
porch floor.
Window shades and awning to keep
the sun off. which are tied back or
rolled up when not In use. are also
practical made of matting.
They are hemmed top and bottom
and hung upon rings at the top. which
in turn are hung on little brass hooks
screwed Into the window frame or
porch beam.
Bordered Foulards.
There Is nothing smarter and few
things more handsome than the new
bordered foulards brought in for
spring. Many of the most attractive
pieces have borders that take up
more than twenty inches of the forty
five or forty six inch width of the silk.
These wide borders usua»y have a
band of solid color four or five Inches
wide at the edge of the piece. The
rest of the border may be of Per
sian design In lovely green, blue,
rose, lavender, gray or other color
scheme to harmonize with the ground
of the rest of the silk.
Empire Waist Line.
The straight, narrow lines not over
aooentuated and the shortened waist
line are very pretty In the one-piece
trotting frocks of linen, silk,
which are being made for southern
wear, though the empire waist line
must always be handled very care
fully In connection with a street
frock If It Is not to give the frock an
air suitable to the boudoir rather
than the street.
A LONDON LANDMARK
St. Paul’s Cross Links Present
With the Past
Shaft Recently Unveiled Is Successor
of Others Whose Earliest History
Is Lost In the Mist of
Obscurity.
London. —An Interesting link con
necting the London of today with the
London of remote ages was made by
the recent unveiling of the new
Paul’s cross in St. Paul’s churchyard.
There on the highest ground in the
great metropolis was made the first
settlement in far-off days and there
It is believed once stood a heathen
temple, which in due time gave way
to the first of the Christian edifices
which preceded the present cathedral.
The cross recently unveiled Is the
successor of other crosses, the his
tory of the earliest of which Is lost
in the mists of obscurity. At the time
of the Reformation there were prob
ably fewer than 6,000 crosses In Eng
land, varying In size and shape and
varying, too. In their uses. They were
to be found on the roadsides, at cross
roads and at many other places all
over England, and a pretty and Inter
esting tale could be told of the vari
ous kinds, whether they be market,
memorial, boundary, weeping or
preaching crosses.
Some beautiful specimens of preach
ing crosses still remain, but the most
celebrated one In Europe and one
which played a most important part
In the history of England, is old SL
Paul's.
It was a tall wooden structure with
a leaded roof, and stood upon stone
bases. Octagon In shape. It was large
enough to hold the preacher and three
attendants. A low wall surrounded It.
Kings and queens often visited
Paul’s cross. The marriage contract
between James IV. of Scotland and
Margaret, daughter of Henry VII. of
New St. Paul’s Cross.
England, was proclaimed there, and In
1688 Queen Elizabeth attended In
state at a thinksgiving service for the
defeat of the Spanish armada. Eight
years later, while the lord mayor was
at service there, he received an order
from the queen to raise 1,000 men to
aid the French in the defense of
Calais. Before eight o’clock that eve
ning the men had been recruited and
were marching on the road to Dover.
Among those who did penance at
the cross was Jane Shore, the fa
vorite of Edward IV., while a still
more remarkable case was that of
Lady Markham, wife of Sir Griffin
Markham, who In 1617 stood at the
cross in a white sheet and was fined
$6,000 for marrying one of her serv
ants while her husband was alive.
This was the spot chosen, too,
when anything had to be denounced,
and consequently the bull of Pope
Paul 11. was read from, threatening
all shoemakers who put peaks of
more than two inches long on the
shoes they made, and censuring, as
well, all, whether shoemakers or not,
who went to a fair on a Sunday.
These are but a few of the things
which took place at what was, in old
time, the center of the public lire, not
only of the city, but also of the union,
for it was at once the exchange, the
club, and the meeting place of Lon
don. Here heralds proclaimed the
news of victories by sea and land;
here, we are told, "men threw up their
bonnets when they heard of Crecy
and Agincourt;” here It was that
a sovereign brought his , new-made
wife to show her to his faithful sub
jects; and last, but not least. It was
here that the wives and daughters of
the citizens gathered for their little
gossips and flirtations.
It was doomed to destruction. The
last sermon was preached there In
May SO. 1630, before King Charles 1.,
and In 1643 the cross was demolished
by order of the long parliament
The new cross is built in accord
ance w’lth a bequest of the late H. O.
Richards, who left $25,000 for the pur
pose. It consists of a Doric column
on the top of which Is a bronze figure
of St. Paul, nine feet high.
