JULY 22. 1898. EVE’S RAMBLINGS. EOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG" THE WOMEN. BY ONE OF THEM. “'A baker’s dozen” is an expression familiar enough, but the question ofits origin has seldom been raised. As a race weYankees are inquisitive enough, but it is a little strange that, somebody has not asked me about it before. But among all the. .curious: letters whiehlam constantly receiving not one even hints of a baker’s dozen. There is a curious little storygin interesting little story, which goes with the familiar expression, and it probably contains about as. much truth assay legend. Yet there must have been a source, and perhaps this is it. Awaytlock in the seventeenth cen- tury Albany, N..Y., was nothing but aflmchsettlement, and among its in- habitants was a baker with a long string of Dutch names ending With Van Amsterdam. He was a genius in his way, and many OI our toothsome‘ cak’es‘,’ like thooofil‘led. with caraway seeds, were origiml’lfith him, and it'was‘sOarcely io'be wonderedthat his fame “as. a, baker increased 'frOm year ‘to year, and his savings in the same proportion. He had one fault, however, for which he (paid dearlyfhe was stingy. (One wild, stOrmy New Year’s'eve as he was following the good old custom of watchinggghe new year in and inciden- tally considering .his profits for the mapping at the door, and when it was opened in blew a little old woman who ' demanded a dozen New Year’s cookies. TWelve were counted out to her, but she set up a bowl of protest, demand- ing another, which the close-fisted Dutchman refused her.” . , An altercation resulted in'the' expul- sion of the old woman, who carried the baker’s luck with her. His misfor- Ismes began the very nextltdayg-‘j _ Not-hing went exactly xiii-right. His yeast soured, his bakings burned, . and all sorts of mysterious things happened, yet he reii ained as stingy as ever. The little old woman paid him another visit,_and went away in a rage because for a dozen. _ Worse ills befell him, and it was only after his wife became deaf, his childien Bell ill and his business died that he be- came broken in spirit, and the little old woman took that time ”for a third and. last visit. ' Humbly he acceded to her request in: thirteen cakes, and immediately prosperity came backvto him, and his competitors were obliged to adopt thir- teen for a dozen. And that is why thirteen is the bak- eris lucky number to-day, however un- imcky it may prove to others. A? awry/0&0, ajlguo. Feminine Chat. Was there ever any one who would admit that they snored ‘? Sui-er than letting the air in is to keep the sun out if you seek to cool a house. ‘ Letters in the life of a lonely woman are almost as cheering as the visits of friends. There isn‘t half as much sense crying over spilt milk as over sour milk this weather. _ A fussy woman in a railroad train is pretty bad, but a fussy man can ’dis- imunt her all to pieces. Isn’t it strange how long it takes to fiorge the chain of friendship, and how « It is always the man who is the most conceited who generally waxes truly. aloquent regarding this characteristic in others. There is nothing truer than the say- ing that the more one has the more one wants. Thisapplies especially to icedbeverages this weather. . ”with a deep flounco of lace.

The West Washington street Cross- walk club gave a shore dinner at Gregory’s Point last night in honor of Howard Seymour, of Schenectady, who is visiting friends in South Norwalk. There were ten in the party. When they-were in readiness to return home it .4 was found that the Tramway cars had been fOrced to stop running owing to the electric storm that prevailed. They all started to walk but had not gone far before they were overtaken by a car which they quickly boarded and were speeded to South Norwalk. ‘A Av ‘7 Servsn. Rodi-hen. There is a reason, as there is for most things, for leaving the two or three centre or heart leaves on a radish when it is served. This is usually done at all high-class, restaurants where a French chef or steward pre- sumably supervises. and it is because the French think the green adds very much to the ease with which radishes are digested. The average general housework girl cuts of! a. radish as close as if it were a potato, and it will need more than one suggestion to get her to leave the green ends on. Girl’s Dressing Gow'l. A garment which every woman and girl should possess is a dressing gown. They not only give one a neat appears once but are useful to slip on at night in case of fire or accident. Some light woolen material make the most oer. 'vlceable garments. For a young girl a pretty model is of dark red challie dotted with white. It falls in gathers from the neck where a small ruffle of the material is edged which are quite full have a trill of lace at the elbows. .. ..-.....—...... ~ 1‘ -No claims. no amdavus,‘ out “a GAZETTE advertisement gets there every time. . —Eve'rybody “Elks o7 the Klondike.
