COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN; BY ONE
3F. THEM.
And’ now once again the little folks
are in school and the mothe-s are
wondering Why they feel so lost and
why the house seems so still.
The morning: drags- along and at noon
the rush of little feet proclaims the re-
turn of the students; and voices insis-
tent and eager cry“ Mother, where are
mu?” Perhaps some woman puts
down her work with a sigh as she goes
to answer this query, or gives way to a
little impatient utterance as she realizes
that her task is disturbed.
The children’s entrance is a rude in
terruption, a trial to nerves and a de-
cided barrier to the completion of the
weekly mending, the reading of a book
or the conclave with the home dress-
maker, and the woman sighs again and
wishes that she could have a few mo-
ments of uninterrupted quiet to her-
self.
Is this not a true picture? If the
mothers answer honestly, they will
answer affirmatively, and yet let them
not grumble at the eager voices, the
scurrying of muddy feet, the poll
mell, the topsy turveyncss that follows
-.Lhe home rush from school.
Let them bug to, their breaststhe
.. comforting thought ” that there are
.zsconcs of childless wives who would
ggiveall they own or ever expect to
~ own, to have their hours of silence
1 broken: by cries of “Mother!” would
: gladll'y forego the pleasure of uninter-
'. ruzpted reading to feel the clutch of
‘ tiny hands on the open page'or the per-
sistent tug at the folds of their gown.

Ah, women to whom God has given
children, never murmur at your lot.
Treasures greater by far than any of
earth’s jewels have been given into
yOur keeping. j
Envy not unbroken silence, for no
heartache can equal that which comes
when quiet, 101g and undisturbed, fol-
lows on the 1 let of happy, joyous child-
ish laughter. . ..
, WTILen there are no little voices to
make the echoes ofa. silent house, or
” {when those little voices are hushed,
i: then‘iss the time when a woman would
give all she has and more to .hear that
childish treble which breaks‘in at noon
time and when school is done, with its
first anxious, dependent, piping query,
“Where is mother? ’

Feminine Chat.
The greatest and best test of a man’s
devotion is during a woman’s illness.
A good forgettery, is a desirable
property, but it sometimes refuses to
be cultivated.
AS socii as the fear of moths has sub-
sided comes the worriment about
weather strips.
People apparently think the only
thing that w.ll make you walk lame is
a sprained ankle.
Photographs of dead friends fade
less quickly SOmetimes than the mem-
ory of the same.
It is much easier to take an interest
in furs with the thermometer at sixty
than. when it is at eighty.
The lack of sympathetic companion-
ship is too often the cause of bitter
strife with young married people.
The neighbor’s ice cream freezer is
not quite as much in demand in coun-
try neighborhoods as it was a month
ago.
A small country church can give
more entertainments in one year than
a. large one in the city would think of
in a decade.

‘ —The Time to Invest.
fWhen the first rich discoveries of
gold on the Klondike were proclaimed,
tl'i‘e topic at once became of absorbing
intei est. People were overopowered
by the magnitude of these riches.
Every one will want Klondike mining
stock this year. No company offers
bettei chances than The Joseph Ladue
Gold Mining & Development company
of Yukon. This company owns placer
claims. yielding $12 per cubic foot, and .
qu uartz claims assaying $300 in free
(milling gold to the ton. The exclusive
timber right fifteen miles on both sides
of the Yukon, with a saw-mill earning
4. 81350 a day; some of the best lots“ in the
City of Dawson. They also own a line
of ocean and river steamers Iunning
‘ between Seattle and Dawson, via St. 1

isnterested in the Klondike region

' .issue, and also write for prospectus.

The Polonaise.
There is no doubt that fashion fav-
ors height and slenderness of figure,
real or apparent. The princess robe,
and also a modified form ofvthat severe
style of dress in the shape of the polo-
naise, are before us. The latter is
more cOnvenientto followar women of
small means. The princesse robe, cut
on its familiar, strict lines, and not
elaborated with handsome laces, dra-
peries, berthas, and other decorative
modifying additions, is not suited to
out-of—door wear, however graceful
and correct it may be for the house.
The princesse dress does not lend itself
gracefully to any sort of wrap, which
again unfits it for the promenade. A
cape worn with it looks very odd, and
a. jacket contradicts the long, unbrok-
en lines of the gown. The polonalse
is more amenable, and this garment
bids fair'to be quite a. favorite among
gowns for certain uses this season, and
still more popular in the preparation of
tailor gowns for the early autumn.
Strange .Grouplng of Color-J“.
The most extraordinary combina-
tions of colors are still a. prominent
characteriStlc of all smart French and
American mlllinery. In most cases it
requires all the skill of the trimmer
to make the result other than either
flashy or dowdy, the claim for admira-
tion resting upon that very doubtful
quality now so frequently put forth as
a plea for toleration if not for admira-
tion—that its beauty consists in its
unique ugliness. “Uncommon,” cer-
tainly, very many of the "smart" hats
look, and whether it be that what is
fashionable needs no further recom-
mendation in woman’s eyes, or that
the modern milllner has attained much
perfection in the study of crude, impos-
sible melanges, it is certain that. colors
ones absolutely hostile to each other
are now artistically reconciled.
Devllled Tomatoel.
Devllled tomatoes make an excellent
summer breakfast dish. now that the
difficulty of brolling over a. gas fire is
solved. Fresh, firm tomatoes are cut
into thick slices and broiled quickly.
Arrange neatly on a chop platter, and
pour over them a. sauce made from two
tablespoonfuls of ' olive oil, a good
pinch of white sugar, 11. saltspoonful of
made mustard, 3 pinch of cayenne pep-
per, and three tablespoonfuls of vine-
gar. ’Let this boll up quickly in the
saucepan, and it is ready for use.
These tomatoes may be served from
the chafing dish, roasted in the blazer
with a little melted butter rather than
broiled.
_Mayonnnlle Drooling. .
There are still persons to be found
here and there who object to the taste

made has no relish.

dressing‘is made, a"‘good teacupful .of

“Sponge Coke Baskets.
Sponge cake baskets, which are use-
ful for children’ 11 parties, are baked in
deep round muffin pans, and when cold
the centres are cut 01%. A nice filling
is to crumb the centres and mix lightly
with whipped cream. Fruit, too. may
be piled in these little baskets.
