Sizing Up Papa.
The heir and hope Of the family at
Blank Castle -was a little rogue of
about five summers. One day. at
lunch he was very disobedient. His
father, whose 0 rs had been repeat-
edly ignored, at last struck the‘table
to accentuate his parental authority,
and said, indignantly: “William, you
forget who I am!”
The velvet-eyed scamp looked, up,
and, with subtle simplicity, said:-'
“Oh, no! You’re only muvyer’s hus-
band;” and the hereditary legislator
remained speechless amid the deri-
sive laughter of his guests. —-London

Evening Gown for Girl.
All dotted fabrics are fashionable
this season, and will continue to. be
popular for evening gowns after the
days grow too cool ior donning thin
afternoon frocks.
Pale pink organtie, with. white silk
dots, makes a charming and youthful
evening gown for a. young girl. The
skirt is the fashionable, sheath like
model, trimmed with bouillones of the
material made round
and full, is cut with a square decol;.-
tetage, outlined with a fall of fine lace.
A girdle of black velvet encircles the
waist and long white mousequataire
gloves reach to the shoulders.

Death in Ice Cream.
We seem now to have reached the
physiological moment when the matter
of ice creams vended to children in the
street by itinerant Italian confection-
ers is to be seriously taken in hand.
More than one inquest has been held
upon the victims of the craving for
this cheap rubbish, often poisonous
owing to decomposition, and always
swarming with microbes. In one case
lately a. verdict of “death from irri-
tant poisoning” was rendered. The
Paddington Vestry have now instruct-
'ed their medical officer of health to
cause samples of ice cream and other
similar insidious mixtures to be taken
from itinerant vendors in the parish in
order that they may be subjected to
a. chemical analysis, and have voted 3.
sum of 25 guineas to procure a bacter-
iological examination also. Similar
instructions have been given in Clerk-
enwell and Holboru, and the chemical
and bacteriological examinations are
now in progress. It is hOped that
should the results of these examina-
tions be of such a nature as to give
grounds for prosecution,'the authori-
ties will be able to proceed against the
real offenders, for in many cases the
persons. who actually sell the ice
creams from the barrows are only the
agents of persons in a. larger way of
business—British Medical Journal.
To Refresh Faded Flowers.
Flowers which have been so long
without water that they are in a. droop-
ing condition, or that appear faded af-
ter being picked only a day, usually
revive with the following treatment:
Cut the ends Of the stalks and place
them in a jug containing a small
quantity of boiling water, and sprinkle
the heads of the flowers with cold
water. By the time the boiling water
freshed; if, however, they are really
withered it may be necessary to place
them in hot water a second time, but
this is seldom required. The portion
of the stalks which is discoloured
from having touched the boiling water
must be cut off, and the flowers may
then be arranged in their respective
vases, which should be filled with cold
water. Changing the water in the
vases every second day, and just nip-
ping the stalks will prolong the life
of cut flowers.
Hard to Anhwer,
"Teacher, I cannot answer
question.”
“Robert, your reasons for this sur-
prising refusal to answer me! Did
Thomas Jones throw that marble?"
It was a thrilling moment. Across
the desk the tall, powerful master
glared sternly at the pale, determined
face of the little fellow before him.
From their seats the scholars watched
the scene with bated breath. An in-
vestigative youth. In the back of the
room dropped a pin, and was frighten-
ed at the noise it made. The big, green
fly stopped buzzing against the window
pane. The boughs of the old elm be-
side the door ceased their rustling to
catch the brave boy’s answer. At last
it came. The noble little fellow burst
into tears:
“I don’t want to,” he sobbed, “’cause
Tommy Jones says if I blab on him,
he’ll lick de stuflin’ outer me.”

"Trimmings for Light Dresses.
Tucking, milliners’ folds, and rows
of galloon or ribbon trim many of 'the
new light-wool gowns for general wear.
These are all simple modes of gar-

really desirable from a decorative point
of view, and to all present appearances
are likely to be as popular this autumn
as they have been forseveral seasons
past. ‘ '
