There is a lonesome little street which begins where you transfer to Benning and ends at Mount Olivet's gate. In the directory it is called the Bladensburg road. But there are many people who know it as the Way of the Sorrowful. Because it leads to the gate. A woman was walking along the little street. Across the road was the green country grass and trees, and on her lert a common so riuiuuo ««iu s®/ weeds as to hide its dump heap in the middle. A horse, turned loose on the common because it was Sunday, capered around like mad. and then flung himself down and kicked his legs. A spotted dog barked at him, and a sedate red cow , stopped chewing her cud to look on. And there were butterflies. 1 Then the woman passed a string of houses and came to a second common where she overtook another woman, very small and very old, who carried a basket of flowers and used her um- brclla as a cane. Her wrinkled face was prayerful, and from her fingers dangled a rosary of coarse black beads, j There is the comradeship of grief among those who walk the Way of the Sorrowful, so the younger woman said to the older one: 'Won't you let me take your basket?

Scoop out the seeds and All the c shell with chopped celery mixed with * mayonnaise dressing. Put a spoonful of 0 dressing on the top of each and press c into it the meat of an English walnut. P Stuffed Tomatoes. * Mix one-half pint of stale bread crumbs, * one-half a cup of finely chopped nuts, 8 one grated onion, one level teaspoonful s fof salt, a saltspoonful of pepper and one * tablespoon ful of butter, melted. Cut the 8 stem ends from six tomatoes and take out the seeds and centers. Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture and stand in a baking pan with a little water. Bake r in a quick oven for thirty minutes, bast- t ing once or twice. 11 Escalloped Toipatoes. * Use a small baking dish- Skin and slice c two ripe tomatoes and lay them in the g dish with alternate layers of fine cracker ^ crumbs, pepper, salt and bits of butter. 8prinkle on top with cracker crumbs and * bake for half an hour In a hot oven.

To this add one beaten ^ egg and three tablespoonfuls of vinegar. c Messaline and Lace. A ravishing evening toilet of ivory white mescaline Is sketched here. The under blouse and sleeves are of white lace with a medlci collar. A surplice drapery of messaline forms an overblouse and a tunic of the same falls over the double flounce of lace. The underskirt is of the satin, caught up in pannier st>'le to produce the correct fullness at the hips under the upper flounce. It is -girdled with the mesea- Use. f BMM JtaCjgjcl come out of my own yard and I've had extra food luck this summer." She lifted the lid of the basket, and the other woman saw under the blossoms a clumsy little rag doll In a slip of faded pink calico. ''The* was my little daughter's favorite baby." The old woman explained 11 with the almost ravenous eagerness with which lonely people speak of their dead. »ne naa it in her arms when she died. I always take it with me to lay on her grave for a.a little while. Oh, ma'am, ain't it heartbreaking: to lose a little child? It seems right for the old to die, but why should my baby.but God's holy will be done," and she lifted the brass crucifix of her rosary and put it to her lips. So old a woman could not possibly have a little child inside the iron gate, and yet the grief was poignant, as for one newly dead. Somfe grandchild, of course.and, oh, the heartless neglect of that child's mother for allowing so feeble an old soul to make so sad a journey alone! This was the inward thought. As they entered the cemetery their way iay together along the cobbled driveway until the elder woman stopped at a little ?reen grave in the sunshine witli the leaves of a nearby tree dancing like shadow fairies across it. A tiny slab marked, the head, and on its marble was cut: "Our Baby. 1864." He was a big, tawny dog with eyes the color and sparkle of sherry wine and with the royal tread of a prize -winner. Around his neek was a baby-blue ribbon tied in a loopy bow. "You could tell he belonged to a wornI WHh the royal tread of a prime wiaaer. an, couldn't you?

ItMi wm» gaici; iui iuio in summer is perfect cold, fifteen degrees below zero, but if the moth has been allowed to lay its eggs in the fur. though these will not hatch in the freezing process, when the furs come out the chances are that the eggs will develop, so do not let them get there. With the warm weather the danger begins. Shake them well out of doors before putting them away, and do not brush them, but instead comb them, rhey should never be put away dirty, but should be wey rubbed with powJered starch and thoroughly shaken. Alcohol cleans white fur, but this must be carefully done and the fur not made too wet. Children's White Shoes. VT7HEN- buying white shoes for little children it Is much better to get shoes made of white cowhide leather rather than those of kid. The former are easily cleaned by simply wiping off with s damp cloth and' a little white soap, and require no other dressing. If wiped off after each wearing, they can be kept clean and white with very little trouble, and they near better than the kid, and are no higher In price. This Is a hint from s reliable shoe'dealer.

Indl- l vidual salads can be packed into lemon- 1 skin cases, thus doing: away with one * large receptacle. Eggs, sandwiches, * chickens, pickles, etc., can all be wrapped s in oiled paper and placed in berry boxes, t and several wof these can be packed in a i good-sized pasteboard box. Use paper 1 napkins and tablecloth and individual . drinking cups. i At a summer picnic, or party ot any kind where refreshments are served, a pretty and appropriate punch bowl can be made by hollowing out the center of a large half watermelon. Place it in a dish of sand and conceal the sand with flowers of any kind. A pumpkin shell would serve an equally good purpose. Fill a two-quart jar with small pieces of ice, sealing tightly and wrapping in several layers of newspaper. Ice will keep this way at least twelve hours, Carry iced tea, coffee and lemonade sirup in pint jars tightly sealed, to be made when needed. A large cake of ice covered with burlap will keep for two weeks. Dig n hole in the ground, place the covered ice in this, amd cover with leaves. An old rubber cover will protect from rain. A square of chicken wire and a few staples will be very useful. When the camp Are is made, drive in four stout sticks at the corners of the fire, .stretch the wire across, and tack it firmly to the sticks. This will give the same surface as the cooking stove, and several articles may be cooked at one time upon it. When ready to return, the wire and staples can be detached and used again.

The Dress Revolt. THE American clubwomen's recent revolt against the fashions of Paris led Mrs. Clement Burt, the Cleveland eocietv leader, to sav in New York- "The Paris fashions are more beautiful and more difficult than they have ever been. To revolt against them on the score of expense, that I can understand, but to revolt against them on the score of immodesty and ugliness argues both prudishne8s and bad taste. "Yes, expense is the only logical ground for revolt. Let me tell you how Worth once treated an expense revolt. "A woman came to Worth and said: " 'Monsieur, you have charged me $000 for an evening gown. Yet the material did not cost more than $100 and the workmanship $20 more.' "'Madame/ Worth replied, 'go to M. Melssonler. the painter, and say to him: "Here is a canvas, value 25 cents, and here are colors, value $1. Paint me a picture on this canvas with these colors and I'll pay you $1.25." What will Melssonler's answer be? "Madame," he will answer, "that is no payment for an artist" But I say more. I say: If you think my terms too high pay me nothing and keep the robe.' " Clam Frappe. CLAM frappe tempt, the appetite on a warm day.

The bag Is drawn together with broad ribbon, which ssrtis as handlea A pretty little handkerchief bag of linen, silk or Russian crash is developed in solid work and eyelets in colors. Dainty forget-me-not colors are used In the decoration of an attractive cap of mull, tied with blue ribbon. Very pretty summer girdles may be made by the amateur needlewoman. Those made of mercerised poplin or heavy linen are embroidered in front, on the left side, and on the lower of the sash ends. Cotton ratine ribbon is used for summer girdles, with ends embroidered, terminating with a knotted fringe formed of several colors of silk and beads.

I Problem Solved by a Camplng^-Out Club. BY JESSIE BOBESTS. A number of girls In * western town have joined forces to solve their vacation problem, and the thing has turned out so successfully that I thought mors of you might like to hear of their scheme. An association of twenty-five girls, whs all did office work, was formed Into a camping-out club. Each contributed a stated sum, which money was devoted to purchasing a camp outfit sufficient for five persons. They, were able to get good things without their costing any member much. Than the site for the camp was chosen, a lovely place aaar a lake, where boats could be had and where a real life In the open could bo enjoyed. A committee was appointed to see to all these details, and on the first of July the first hatch of five girls went Into camp for their two weeks' vacation. The rest followed in lots of five, bringing the end of the season to the middle of September. Of course, arrangements for the vacation had been mads ahead, so that each five was ready when their turn came. The thing worked out beautifully. None of the girls had spent a mora agreeable nor a cheaper vacation than this one In all their experience. And it did them a world of good. Bach group had tha fun of Improving the situation acoordlng to taste, and the last' batch to arrive swore they entered a veritable palace of luxury. There's no reason in the world why ) other groups of working women should 1 not enjoy tha same kind of an outing. ' in getting up a camping-out club you r need to be careful In choosing your i working committee, for you don't want > to buy things you won't need, nor can you afford to be without essentials. And . the site for your camp must be most ' carefully selected. Usually a brother or i two coma in handy as advtasrs. FASHIONS AND FADS. Jet buttons ars In high favor.

There is a lonesome little street whichbegins where you transfer to Benningand ends at Mount Olivet's gate. Inthe directory it is called the Bladensburgroad. But there are many peoplewho know it as the Way of the Sorrowful.Because it leads to the gate.A woman was walking along the littlestreet. Across the road was the

green country grass and trees, and on

her lert a common so riuiuuo ««iu s®/

weeds as to hide its dump heap in themiddle.A horse, turned loose on the common

because it was Sunday, capered aroundlike mad. and then flung himself downand kicked his legs. A spotted dogbarked at him, and a sedate red cow ,

stopped chewing her cud to look on.

And there were butterflies. 1

Then the woman passed a string ofhouses and came to a second commonwhere she overtook another woman,

very small and very old, who carrieda basket of flowers and used her um-

brclla as a cane. Her wrinkled facewas prayerful, and from her fingersdangled a rosary of coarse black beads, j

There is the comradeship of griefamong those who walk the Way of theSorrowful, so the younger woman saidto the older one:

'Won't you let me take your basket?It is a long walk from the cars to the

The Dress Revolt.THE American clubwomen's recent revoltagainst the fashions of Parisled Mrs. Clement Burt, the Cleveland eocietvleader, to sav in New York-"The Paris fashions are more beautifuland more difficult than they have ever

been. To revolt against them on thescore of expense, that I can understand,but to revolt against them on the scoreof immodesty and ugliness argues bothprudishne8s and bad taste."Yes, expense is the only logical ground

for revolt. Let me tell you how Worthonce treated an expense revolt."A woman came to Worth and said:" 'Monsieur, you have charged me $000

for an evening gown. Yet the materialdid not cost more than $100 and theworkmanship $20 more.'"'Madame/ Worth replied, 'go to M.

WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.I

Problem Solved by a Camplng^-OutClub.

BY JESSIE BOBESTS.A number of girls In * western townhave joined forces to solve their vacationproblem, and the thing has turned

out so successfully that I thought morsof you might like to hear of theirscheme.An association of twenty-five girls, whsall did office work, was formed Into a

camping-out club. Each contributed astated sum, which money was devotedto purchasing a camp outfit sufficient forfive persons. They, were able to getgood things without their costing anymember much. Than the site for thecamp was chosen, a lovely place aaara lake, where boats could be had andwhere a real life In the open could boenjoyed.A committee was appointed to see to

all these details, and on the first of Julythe first hatch of five girls went Intocamp for their two weeks' vacation.The rest followed in lots of five, bringingthe end of the season to the middle

of September. Of course, arrangementsfor the vacation had been mads ahead,so that each five was ready when theirturn came.The thing worked out beautifully. None

of the girls had spent a mora agreeablenor a cheaper vacation than this oneIn all their experience. And it did thema world of good. Bach group had thafun of Improving the situation acoordlngto taste, and the last' batch to arriveswore they entered a veritable palace ofluxury.There's no reason in the world why) other groups of working women should1 not enjoy tha same kind of an outing.

' in getting up a camping-out club your need to be careful In choosing youri working committee, for you don't want> to buy things you won't need, nor canyou afford to be without essentials. And

. the site for your camp must be most' carefully selected. Usually a brother ori two coma in handy as advtasrs.
