Especially if it is very long, very thick, and a most beautiful color, yet cannot be worn hanging down in braids, because you are too tall for anything so childish, nor fastened up in a graceful Psyche knot at the back of the head, (,uitc near the neck, because it- is too heavy, and comes tumbling down at in- convenient seasons. Lovely hair, but an embarrassment of riches, is it not ‘3 If it were my hair, and I were the dear young girl who finds it a bother and a burden, I would coil it up on top of my head and wear it. like a crown. I wouldn’t mind its having the effect of making me look taller, and I would stand up very straight, and look as tall as I could. In my opinion height is a beauty, and I never care about a girl’s being tall, except to admire her. Tall girls must mind that they carry them- selves well, and do not. stoop nor crane their head forward as if they had lost something and were perpetually look- ing for it. You remember Tennyson‘s . picture, do you not, a word picture such as only a poet could paint: “A daughter of the gods, Divinely tail, and most divinely fair." If the coronal effect were unbecom- ing. or gave a feeling of weight on topi of my head, then I would braid the. hair in several strands, and mass it all over I the back of the head. I would simply . part it in the middle, and avoid fringes, ' and bangs, and little curls, crimps, and other attempts at deéoration in front. ll‘hen hair has a natural wave or ripple it is very pretty, and should have its‘ v. ay, but straight hair is pro try too, and girls should be satisfied to wear their hair in the style nature intended for them.-—Harpers’ Round Table. i E I I | l SHOULDER STRAPS. Their Efl’ect Upon the Form 13 Very Bad. “A. number of women have hopeless, ly deformed their shoulders by the‘ wearing of shoulder straps,” said a physical culture enthusiast the other day to a class of ladies. “'I‘heweight of the skirts on the straps has worn little; furrows in the heavy- muscles of thel shoulders. Just notice the shape of, wbmen who wear narrow straps. Of, course, it is not observable when they? are dressed in ordinary costume, but in evening dress I can pick out every- one in the room who is in the habit. of wearing straps. - ' “The proper thing is a fitted waist with heavy material set in around the armholcs and down the sides as stays or strengthening pieces. To these are attached the buttons or hooks that sus— tain the weight of the. skirt. “It is absolute suicide to hitch these things upon the ordinary corset. That throws the whole of the weight upon! the body below the waist and is the cause of-moredistress than one can well imagine. There are a great many .people who could not be induced to put shoulder straps on growing chil- dren; indeed, the waist is in every re- spect more desirable. It need not be high in the neck, but should cover the curve of the shoulders so that the weight of the garments may rest even- ly over them. “The physical culturist has a wide field, and/the time is coming when the possibility of developing the figure of a child will be studied as carefully as the development of the mind,”—1\".

HIS HOUSE 603' AWAY. The Temporary Mystery of a Chicago Workingman’s Residence. When Pete kissed his wife good-by in the morning his little frame house rested on rollers. The house—mover’s gang was hitching clanking chains to the heavy square timbers, and the brown horse with a dejected droop to his long head was ready to circle around the capstan and haul Pete’s cottage in- to the street. ' “Don’t you worry a bit, Mary,” said Pete, ,as he picked up his dinner pail. “The house mover told me that not an inch of plaster would fall. So long, I’ll pick you up six blocks south to-night.” “Sure thing,” replied the house mover to Pete’s inquiry. “This is a dead easy job. You’ll find your house in the mid- dle of the street six blocks down there to-night and your wife and‘ kids all 0. K.” T TT TT TT. Pete was an iron molder, and the fou-n- ; dry where he worked was a good hour’s walk from home. I] 9. went to his bench in a cheerful mood. T 1e elevated rail- road company had pa'id him a good stilt price for his lot, and had offered to move ‘ his house free of expense to him. Pete i took the money and bought a lot cheap ; in a new street, half a mile nearer the . foundry, two blocks from a school, and with a church just around the corner. ' Taking it all in all, Pete considered h'c _ had made a good bargain. During’the day Pete’s thoughts were on the little white cottage, with its clean muslin sash curtains and light-green shutters, slowly traveling down the street. He could almost see Mary anx— ionsl y noting progress through the win- dows, and the children, wild with the novelty, racing and tearing around. Every molder on the floor knew that : Pete’s house was on the move. They discussed the matter while grouped around the cupola waiting for the iron to run. They were full of suggestions, and Pete received the benefit of the con- centrated advice of 50 sympathetic men. The foreman once had passed through the house-moving experience, and, as ; he was the foreman and as his house ; was a two-story brick, his advice was I regarded as weighty and his sugges- r tions treasured as words of great value. 1 After Pete had filled and emptied his 1 ladle a dozen times and had washed up he started merrily to find his home. ‘ When he arrived at the corner where he . expected to meet his cottage, none ap- peared. Pete looked north and south through the dusk, but as far as he could see the street was clear. A policeman happened along. “Say, officer,” exclaimed Pete, “have you seen a one-story frame cottage go by here to-day ?” The policeman stared at Pete for a second, then replied grufliy: “What’er you givin’ me?” “That’s straight,” said Pete, with en- ergy. “They’re moving my house. It ought to be here, but it ain’t.” The policeman grew sympathetic at once. “I’ve seen no house movin’, but there’s some red lights over there two . blocks. Mebbe it’s your house.” Pete .hurried for the red lights. It was a house perched on rollers in the . middle of the street, but it was not his house. He clambered over the timbers, ‘ chains, and skids to the front door, for ‘ the steps had been amputated. . A woman with a hand lamp answered the knock. “Have you seen a one-story frame cot~ tage, white, with green shutters, and a . little woman with brown hair go by this way ?” asked Pete, hurriedly. The woman shook her head. “No," said she. “We're movin’, too. M y man hasn’t got home yet. Maybe he’s hunting for me, too,” and she gig- gled, hysterically. Pete gave her no comfort, but sprang to the ground. Near the house was a grocery, and there Pete inquired for his house. Noone had seen it. “I’shaw!” said Pete. “It’s a light house, and those house-movers have got it on the lot.” He almost ran to the new site and found it vacant. He had spent an hour searching for the white cottage and . Mary. He had asked 50 persons if they had seen a white, one-story cottage on a tour, and now he seated himself on the edge of the sidewalk in front ofthe new lot he had bought and tried to pull himsielf together. He could not under- ' stand it. Ile could think of no other path over which the house might travel. Suddenly a new idea struck him. , ”like fire department has made them pull the house into a vacant. lot so as not to block the street. I‘ll start from the _ beginning, and if I.don't find it to-night I'lislecp in the woodshed. They haven't moved that, anyway. Only Mary will be worried.” ' In a quarter of an hour he was on the old familiar sidewalk. As he hurried along he closely examined every house? on both sides of the street. Absorbed ! in this, he forgot his whereabouts, and ' hc choked and gulped in surprise when he suddenly looked into the windows of his own white cottage and saw Mary with her nose flattened against the glass watching for him. The house had not been moved a foot. , “Something broke,” explained Mary, helping Pete to a heaping plateful of liver and bacon, “and the man will, be back to-morrow.”——Chicago Record.

One of the delights of the old-fash- ioned tea-table. was the delicious “tea bread,” baked of Wheaten flour and eggs and made in thin sheets like old-- time Shortcake. These cakes, with Shortcake and Johnny cake, are also ex- cellent breakfast breads. All such cakes are baked in shallow pans and are not over 114 or 1%, inches thick when baked. ~ The old-fashioned tea bread is made with butter the size of an egg beaten ' to a cream with a quarter of a cup of sugar and the yolks of two eggs added. The Whole is to be stirred vigorously with a wooden spoon, finally adding two cups of milk. Meantime, sift four cups of flour withtwo even teaspoon- fuls of. cream tarta'rdand a half a tea- spoonful of soda. Pour the eggs, milk, butter and sugar [into the flour; beat out the lumps and beat the batter till it “blisters,” and then “fold in” the beaten whites of the eggs and bake the ' cake in two shallow biscuit pans of tin. t will take about 20 minutes or less in a. quick oven. This is an excellent bread to serve with coffee. Johnny cake is made by soaking three cups of yellow cornmeal in four cups of sour milk or buttermilk over« night, or for six or eight hours. In the morning add half a teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful of brown sugar or good molasses, one egg and a large teaspoon- ful of soda. Beat the batter well. It will be quite thin. Pour it into two shallow biscuit pans and bake from half to three-quarters of an hour in a hot oven. This is a very. delicious though simple bread. The term pancake as applied to our American griddle is a misnomer in sev- eral ways. The true cake baked in a pan is thinner than griddle cake and must be composed of an entirely differ- ent batter to be a. success. The spe— cial delicacy of the pancake consists in its wafer-like thinness, It is made of one of the most delicate batters known to the cook, and requires the liberal use of eggs to keep it in form. If it were thick enough to be baked on a griddle these eggs would make it tough, but because of the delicacy of this batter and the more rapid baking of the pan they are a necessity. The shortening necessary to a perfect grid- dle cake is omitted because if it were used in so thin a cake as the pancake it would not endure the proceSS of toss- ing, but would break apart in the pan. The pancake is made of the best Wheaten pastry flour mixed with milk and eggs. Sift a pint of pastry flour and a heaping tablespoonful of pow- dered sugar into an earthen bowl. Add a pint of milk gradually, beating out all the lumps, and finally add three well—beaten eggs. Beat this batter vigorously with, the large-sized patent beater used for eggs. Bake the batter, using three tablespoonfnls at a. time, to form a single cake. Fry in the cen- ter of a frying pan of sheet-iron but- tered lightly for the purpose. Dredge powdered sugar over each pancake as it is baked, and roll it up, slip it on a hot plate, and fry another. _Serve the plateful with quarters of. lemon, which are squeezed over them as they are eaten. These cakes do not fry properly on a griddle. If you wish jelly pancakes omit the powdered sugar and spread the cakes instead with plum, currant, quince or any jelly you prefer. Roll them up and glaze them by dredging them with powdered sugar and searing them each in three or four places with a red-hot ‘ iron. A straight poker washed clean and heated will do the work admirably. Pineapple jelly or marmalade is espe- cially nice with these pancakes. A thicker German pancake may be made by pouring all the batter of this rule into a large sheet-iron frying-pan and letting it cook for three minuies ononc side. After this spread it with preserved pineapple or ordinary rich apple sauce, dredge it with sugar and set it in a hot oven to cook for six min- utes longer. These are the pancakes universally known in French families and always prepared on Slirovc Tucs~ day, when it is customary for all the family to toss one up for “good luck.” The process of tossing. when, by a deft twist- of the wrist, the professional cook turns his pancake or omelette, may well be omit-ted on ordinary occa- sions and the cake turned with a regu- lar griddlecake-turner. There are com- paratively few modern household cooks who can successfully toss a “flapjack,” and such triumphs may be relegated to sailors and “campers-out” with no modern utensils to work with—N. Y.

The other afternoon Chief Rogers, Detectives Phillips, \Vells and Philbrick, Jailer Peer and Clerk Reed were on the front porch of headquarters, when a little girl, not more than six years of age, stood on the sidewalk below listening to the conversation. “Hello, little one, what are you ‘rubber-necking’ there for?” said Willard. “Yes,” added Wells, “take the rubber out of your neck and go along.” With a look of scorn, min- gled with one of amusement, the little one said, pointing first to Wells and then to Willard: “If I had the rubber out of your neck and the wheels out of that fellow’s head I could make a bicy- cle and ride away.” With this quick retort the young miss walked away with? a self-satisfied grin on her pretty face, amid peals of laughter from the chief and other listeners—Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
