DIDN’T BELIEVE IN THEM.

“Do I believe in lawyers?” said the little man, bitterly. "No, sir, I do not.” , - —... “Why Is that?” somebody asked, —“Becaure;”- repite<t ~tlre little’~man, “a lawyer will never say outright what twists things about so. Suppose he wanted to tell you that two and two make four. He would bn> gin: ‘lf by that particular arithmetical rule know as addition, we desire to arrive at the sum ot two added to k two, we should find —and I say this boldly, without fear of contradiction— I repeat, we should find by that particular arithmetical formula hereinbefore mentioned —and, sir, I take all responsibility for the statement I am now about to make— that the sum of the two given, added to the other two, would be four.* No, sir, Ido not believe In lawyers.” CHOCOLATE PUFFS—Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan with one cupful of hot water. Bring to a rapid boil, then quickly throw In one cupful of sifted pastry flour, stirring hard. The mixture will almost instantly thicken to a ball, drawing away from the sides of the saucepan. For a moment or two stir a little at ope side of the fire, then set aside, closely covered until partly cooled. Drop in an unbeaten egg and work and beat until smoothly Incorporated; add, one at a time, three’ more eggs, working and beating each until perfectly mixed before adding the next one. Beat hard for five minutes, then drop by small teasnoonfu 1b on greased pans, placing fully three Inches apart. Bake in a very moderate oven. They are done when pufJ fed to fully twice their first size and light as a feathe’ - when lifted; this will take fully forty minutes. Set aside to cool. Many a gown this year is made With yolke and unden? leeves of lace or net. This sous much more quickly than the gown. On this account it is well to sew in the yolke and sleeves by hand, so they may be easily removed when it is necessary to give them more an a sunerflcial cleansing. Before taking them out, however, outline witty a thread yolk and sleeves just where they are sewed into place. This done, it la a* very simple matter, after the laundering Is completed, to return the yolk ana sleeves. '/• On some of the new evening gowns tar appears on tunics, skirt edge, and waist and is ghown in contrasting color to the dress.
