An Easter Prayer.
Where altar lights serenely glow,
And hyacinths, all sweet a-blow,
With lily sprays their bloom entwine,
I breathe a silent prayer to Thee,
Dear Lord, here at Thy holy shrine,
O, hear Thou me!
By niem’ry of that Easter Day,
When, in the garden’s pale dewy bloom.
The angel rolled the stone away.
And Thou didst leave any darksome tomb,
Do Thou, dear Lord, throw wide apart
The portals of my heart!
And bid the blessed Three to trace
Sweet messages about the place,
Beyond its doors forever east
Doubt, pride and all unholy strife;
Then resurrect, from my dead past,
A nobler life.
—Good Housekeeping.
Easter and Easier Lilies.
Once more the beautiful Easter season is
■with us, and glad hearts rejoice and
‘•Morning stars a bright watch keep
O’er the nodding earth;
Bainbows glisten in the dew
At the dawn’s new birth.”
While ths glad spring has come and all
nature calls for the joyous songs of earthly
creatures, the
"Angel hosts together shout,
While the day stars sing;
Darkness is fforever furled,
Jesus Christ is King.”
The season, so emblematic of the resur
rection, not only of Christ, but of all nature,
is welcomed by all. though this year
Easter is much earlier than usual, it seems
as if the season had advanced to meet the
Easter tide for the birds are home again
with their sweetest carols, and the birds
and blossoms are bursting forth in rich pro
fusion, and the Easter lilies lift their pure,
white petals and nod dreamily in the
breeze. Never were there such a profusion
of lilies before. Today I saw over a hun
dred jars, all tilled witu lilies in full bloom,
and as I looked, I did not wonder that
Christ had said, “not even Solomon in ail
his glory was arrayed like one of these.”
No wonder the lily has been selected as the
emblem of purity. The flower is suggestive
of all that is pure and lovely, and well chos
en to decorate our churches and altars for
Easter Sunday. It will be fbfty years be
fore Easter comes so early again, so very
few now living will again see an Easter in
March but may the present one bring glad,
sweet thoughts to al! our readers, and from
ou r “dead past’’ be resurrected “nobler
lives.”
Are Queens to He Envied f
I doubt not the old saying, “uneasy the
head that wears the crown,” is literally
true, and so 1 do not think queens and
kings occupy very enviable positions, and
yet I found myself envying Queen Victoria
a few days ago, but it was not her honors,
wealth or fine clothes, but when I read
that every day of her life, no matter where
she is, whether in Balmoral, Osborne, Flor
ence or elsewhere, she receives from Wind
sor castle a supply of Howers; them I al
most wished I were a queen. She does not
like strong-smelling, flowers, such as steph
anotis, gardenias or hyacinths, but her
favorite Howers are lilies of the valley and
violets, and every day a basket of these are
placed in her room. Any special orchid
blooms, her majesty arranges with her own
hands, and where she places them there
they remain until she orders them removed.
Such quantities of Howers are sent her daily
that the royal apartments are converted
into a veritable bower of flowers. The
queen’s rooms show no difference summer
or winter, either in coloring or beauty of
the plants that adorn them.
So it is with vegetables; seasons may
come and go, but the queen has her green
peas, cucumbers, French beans, cabbages
or any other vegetable she expresses a
wish to see on her table. It is the same
with fruits—strawberries on Christmas day
are always on her table.
There are some interesting items given
us in regard to Queen Vic’s clothes She
never wears a cap or night dress more
than once, and so there are quite a quantity
required. Her caps must not weigh more
than three ounces; they are made of white
crepe lisse, two long white streamers
daintily hemstitched, that fall to the waist.
She orders these caps by the dozen; six
dozen are generally sufficient for a short
sojourn at Windsor castle. New r is the
same night dress worn a second time, even
after laundering. All of her clothes must
require much looking after. Just next to
her majesty’s sleeping chamber is the
dressing room, in which, on long, low
shelves, her mantles, caps and shoes are
laid. They make a curious picture—a study
in black and white. Two maids undress
the queen and put her to bed. Before she
gets into bed they heat and spread between
the Irish linen sheets a white blanket, part
wool, part cotton, and bound with white
silk ribbon, with the royal arms embroider
ed in the corner. With brandy and water
for a night cap, Queen Victoria reclines
upon the blanket until the body is thor
oughly heated. The maids then withdraw
the blanket, and the finest product of Ire
land’s loom embraces the queen of England
and the empress of India.
She is welcome to her fine clothes and
her nice fresh vegetables, but her flowers
make me just a little bit envious. My, how
nice it would be to sit ail day surrounded
by flowers, and such flowers! It seems as if
it would be very easy to be good under
such circumstances.
THE KINGDOM'S rORKEScOXDEKCE.
A Gossipy Exchange of Views Among
the Ladies for Themselves.
Mrs. D. A. Strange, Holliday, Texas.—Again I
come to Woman’s Kingdom asking space, so many
having written me, wanting io know my substi
tute for green apples, and for seed.
To all who sent postage 1 liavc sent. I will say
to those wiio have sent for seed, if th y will send
stamped and self-addressed envelopes. I will send
seed of the pie melon. I cannot possibly furnish
postage for all who have sent.
Tiie vine of tins un ion very much resembles the
watermelon vine, and one would take the melons
for the citron, only they are very tender.
I gave a few of the seed last spring to one of our
northern neighbors, ami they are perfectly de
lighted with them. Say tiiey are going to plant
largely this year to have them for stock.
Some of the ladies wanted to know more Os our
country. Tins, Wichita county, was until the last
few years, a cattle country.
Grain has been principally grown here, though
most everything 1 think can be. Cotton can be
raised with less labor and expense thin anywhere.
Sorghum grows to perfection ; makes the best of
hay; all stock like it. Melons do well.
Some complain of htfving no gardens, but, we
have not been without vegetables long at a time
since w“ have been here. Os course new land will
not make a first class garden anywhere.
This land being so level; so much of the im
proved machinery can be used, such as drills for
planting wheat, oats and b rley, ami hinders for
cutting grain, planteis for corn and cotton;
ami sulky gang and steam plows for breaking
land. One man can manage a great deal more

find than in the old states where it is| rough and
broken.
The soil is principally a rich, dark red, with just
enough sand io make shed nicely.
Society very good. Have numerous school
houses but no permanent schools m the country
yet. Have a tine school at Wicnita falls, also at
lowa park, both towns on the W. I>. railroad.
Ho iiday is just across in Archer county on the
Wichita va.ley railroad.
All ilenom nations preach at ihe school houses.
We have Lu tno churches in the country, yet, of
course the towns have good churches. Ido not
think this c imatc can i o surpassed for health,
being about twelve hundred feet above sea level.
When we c me here, a itt e more than two years
ago, lw:Sa i.o; eiess invalid, and had been for
four years ; had had a throat affection from child
hood. and the won t eas of dyspepsia 1 ever saw.
I am entirely free from indigestion, and my throat
never gives me any trouble now. I weighed 105
when ue came, now I weigh 137 pounds. So you
see 1 have no cause to regret coming to Texas, for
is mil health the greatest boon one can possess
here.
But listen! Methinks I hear some one say “what
a rambling, tiresome letter.” So 1 softly step
aside to give place to a more able pen than mine,
with best wishes lor the dear old Constitution and
its many readers.
Mrs. S. M. Cade, Lapine, I,a.—For the benefit of
Mrs. T. J. Wheny, Owens, Miss . I send some reci
pes. We take The Constitution, and like it ever
so much. My husband invariably limits for
Plunkett’s and Bill Arp’s pieces; and I eagerly
peruse the sisters’ letters and Aunt Susie’s first.
Everything in the paper is instructive.
Will some of the sisters who have mammoth
bronze turkey, I’ekin duck eggs, white guineas,
and any kind of fine stock of chickens that lay all
the time, please let me know as I want to buy a
few eggs, and believe tiie sisters would be more
reasonable in their charges than the stock
farms. I have no experience witli fine,
chickens, and wish the ladies would tell me
through 'the Constitution the best layers and
quickest gn ivth. Do any of you know anything
of the Donny fowls?
Will some one give directions about the culture
of beets. Also recipe for coconut cake, to bo put
into the batter and baked like cup cake, and for
molasses pie, baked in a crust?
Any of the readers having scraps of calico, or
anything, no matter how small so they cun be
pieced, let me know and I will exchange seeds or
reading matter for them.
God bless Aunt Susie and The Constitution.
Recipes: 4 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, '■> quite large
tablespoon fills oi nice fresh milk. Beat the eggs
separately, and after beating the yolks well, add
the sugar to them and beat until perfectly light
and white; then add the milk and just halt of the
well beaten whites. Bake in shallow tin plates
with a rich pastry. Beat 3or 4 tablespoon! uls of
sugar with the remaining whiles and spread on top
after the custard is done and return to the oven
and let it gel. a light brown. I llis quantity makes
two custard.;. Now, this kind of custards will
only keep under lock and key. I found this recipe
last year in I he Constitution, and 1 love the sister
that gave it to the readers of our noble paper.
Ginger Cake: 2 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, Cjcupof
butter, !/ cup of sour milk. 3 tablespoon! tils of
molasses' I tahlespoonf'uls of ginger, 1 tablespoon
lul of soda, 2*2 cups of flour.
This is an excellent recipe: Make a sauce of
butter, flour, sugar, one egg, add boiling water
and let it simmer on tiie back of the stove, and
just before using add a cup or so of whiskey or
wine. Try it.
Clara Hammond, St. Louis, Mo.—The time for
bouse clean ng has conic again, so perhaps a few
suggestions about making our houses look bright
er and prettier, would be acceptable.
After a carpet has become a little dingy, it may
P, con Ider Wy improved by sweeping it with a
broom, dampened with water m winch a little
aiiiinoni i has beeo po jivd Have the water in a
pail, dip the broom in it, and shake off the drops
of water. Sweep part of the earpet, then dip the
broom as before. When the water becomes dirty,
change it for clean waiter.
If another carpet is very much soiled, beat it
thoroughly, and put it down on the floor. Then
wash it with warm water and fresh beef’s gall,
using one pint of the gall to one gallon of water.
Wash a small space at a time, rinse am! wipe as
dry as possible. Leave the windows of the room
open so it will dry quickly and the colors will look
almost as bright as new.
Hiose housewives who hive had th? pretty Ma
dras curtains, know that they become soiled after
using them one season, and when washed they
lade until there is very little of their former
beauty left. Boil them in soapy water until they
are white. Then dye them cream color, with a.
wea ! : solution o! yellow diamond dye. Scrim,
cheese cloth and Ince curtain, are pretty treated
in the same way, after one becomes tired of white.
Dark calico rags are better than white onesto
wash and dry the windows. They do not leave
any lint, and are easier to wash afterward. Polish
the glass with crushed newspapers.
After you have w iShed the closets, fill evry hole
through which a. mouse could creep, with plaster
of paris mixed with water.
Wash brass fixtures with soap and hot water to
remove all the grease, then with a solution of ox

II a white tablecloth becomes badly stained with

times without fading a particle.
Mrs. 11. G. Powell, Shellman, Ga.—Dear sisters,
I would like to hear from some of you who keep
their fuchsias healthy all the summer 1 had Sev
ern! last yeai. and lost all but one in July. They
bloomed belutilully and were as fine as I ever
saw until June they began to shed their leaves
ami die, one branch at a time, until the whole
plant was dea 1.
J used liquid inaniir:' water, and perhaps too
strong. I have about half a dozen more plants
now, and would hate very much lor them to be
lost in tiiis way.
1 have about one quart of the golden arber vitae
seed. 11 any of tiie sisters wish them, I will glad
ly give theni as many as they wish, if they will
send a sell-addressed envelope stamped. They are
quite pretty lor hedge.
1 will also give you my treatment lorcallalillies,
as I.- often have friends to say, “tell inc bow you
have sin h tine cabas.”
Tiie first tiling 1 do is to get a ten incli pot, put
three inches of charcoal, or broken creckery, or
br.ck beat up, tor drainage. Then 1 fill with sandy
leaf mold from the woods, with one-third well de
cayed cow iot manure mixed in soil. Then I give
plenty ol fresh water every day, and once a week
a little liquid manure water. Never allow sun
shine on them alter lo o’clock if you want foliage
and blooms to lie t resli a longtime. 1 have four
blooms an'.v on two bulbs, ami they measure over
a yard In length, each stem 1 mean.
i hope this may prove to bo some help to some
one.
I will be glad to exchange tube rose bull s with
any one for a black, yellow or spotted ealla, or
anything 1 haven’t got in the the flower line.
Write and say what you have for exchange be
fore sending. Send self-addressed card for reply.
Mrs. \V. A. Campbell, Hestervillc, Miss I have
just completed a flower yard, and want some
“Woman’s Kingdom” flowers in it. So to any one
sending me flower seeds or rose monthly, sprigs
rooted, 1 will send them a very convenient dish
mop.
1 have been a subscriber to your paper only a
little more than a year, but never expect to be

Some Easter Suitings Which Will Interest
Most of The Constlt utlou's Female Ad

Here are shown some frocks and coats for
children of from four to seven years. For
the late spring days, which are apt to be
unseasonably warm, is a little gown of
serge in a pale, dull shade of blue. It Is
fashioned exactly like a Mother Hubbard,
and over this is worn a sailor jacket of
navy serge, with wide lap< Is and collar,
faced with the lighter goods. A service
able long coat is of a dark shade of helio
trope, with a sharply pointed cape collar
of bengaline fro match the sleeves. For
state occasions is a dainty coat of chestnut
brown cloth, simply made, with puffed
sleeves. The distinguishing feature is the
cape,'' which is of cream-white cloth, out-

resemble the chapeaus of former summers,
for every year brings a new motif in trim

straw hat this season will have a rough
straw crown with a fine straw
brim. The newest walking hat and
one that will be much affected by the tailor

“Amazon.” This new shape has the unique
advantage of a. brim that juts forward so
as to shield the eyes from the summer
glare. The brim rolls up on either side and
becomes rather narrow and rolling at the
back. This hat is usually made of rough
straw and simply trimmed with moire,
ribbons, jet aigrettes or quills. A novel idea
is to trim the wide-brimmed sailor hats with
a circle of tiny tips, placed around the

of the brim. Black straw in all shapes will
be in high favor and these will be trimmed
with rose, white, yellow and parrot green.
Parrot green will also be in high favor for
the trimming of white hats and bonnets.
A Frenchy idea, and one extremely becom
ing to a fresh, young face, is the combina
tion of pink roses and violets with lace on
the same hat. Os course this must be an
airy, affair, and the roses

Wash govjiis for this season. Every girl
and worn;;i of. fashion must have a dozen
of them in Aer wardrobe, for they will be
worn for r. occasions. This is indeed a
novel idea,--since for several years it has
not been "‘od form for a woman to go
a-walking if a cotton frock unless that frock
was of sotn Bmpst subdued shade. Now she
can walk ■■ uotir in the lightest and bright
est shade Ir 'r fancy chooses. The magenta
days are v *lli us and when magenta reigns
supreme akyother shades are possible and
proper. There are any number of
lovely B.eftr wash fabrics to be
brought out this season and
the nice thing abcut it is that so many of
these stuffs are certainly pretty and stly
ish without being the least expensive. There
are some beautiful percales on sale for 9
cents a yard. Nothing launders so well as
a fine percale, and these are in the most del
icate shades and artistic designs. Crepe
cloths, make pretty house gowns for sum
mer—they are so soft, graceful and cling
ing and suit to perfection the laces and rib
bons with which such robes are trimmed.
Besides these simple fabrics there are many
fabrics to choose from, fine ginghams in all
the summery shades and patterns, wash
silks and airy lawns and muslins.
This chat about frocks reminds me to de
scribe a gown worn last vzeek by the hon
ored guest at a lady’s luncheon. A beauti
ful woman she was, to begin with—talk
blonde, willowy and perfectly formed, and
in this shimmering, apple green satin with
its fine linos of pink chene figures, she seem
ed the embodiment of the early freshness
and glory of early spring. The bodice had a
yoke of fine lace and there were smart sat
in bows on the shoulders. The sleeves were
full to the elbow and thence fitted
closely to the Grists where they strung out
in beil-shn.ped fashion that gave the white
hands the look of Ion::’ lilies in green
sheaths. An overskirt finished with a nar-
row satin frill, fell over the petticoat of
<r recn satin, and was plaited high
on' the left side, which was
effectively draped by a long scar f
of lace falling straight from the slen
der waist. I must mention the slippers and
hose worn with this toil* t, for its tall wear
er, be it known, has Cinderella feet that ht

VYSTERS should be small and cold,
served on deep half-shell, on a deep plate
filled with small ice, and just opened before
serving the dinner, to lie served with a
quarter of juicy lemon, fresh-grated horse
radish and tomato catsup.
STUFFED OLIVES are cheaper to
to buy ready than to prepare oneself, as the
stoning is very tedious for one not accus
tomed to it. They can be had for 40 cents
a bottle. .
RADISHES should be small and tender,
cut the root.off entirely,leaving about an inch
of tin? leaves on the radish, wash clean,
arrange nicely on pickle dishes with crack
ed ice.

handful of fresh peas, boil all in one quart
of second stock until tender, but not to
break; add two handfuls of cauliflower,
break the bunches off with a small stem,
boil a few minutes longer, pour all the

not lard, but fried out beef suet ti never
use any lard in cooking, except tor sauer
kraut); have it smoking hot, put the slices
of eggplant in it, being careful not to touch
them with the lingers, as the breading will
stick to the fingers; try light brown on one

the theater, and with a black satin or moire
skirt, you have a stylish costume to slip
on in the evening when some one calls un
expectedly, and you wish to dress in a?
hurry.
Here is a new design for a silk waist
which is original and effective. It is made
of yellow taffeta silk, with a small chene
design in \\-hite. The silk is somewhat
loosely shirred from the shoulders to the
neck and trimmed with fine, narrow black
lace. This shirring wanders down either
side of the waist and joins in a point at the
girdle. Just enough black lace is used to
make the contrast good. Very large and
full is the puff of silk which forms the up
i per part of the sleeve. This ends at the el-
I bow, and a deep cuff of the lace-ti immed
I shirring begins, which extends to the wrist.
The sleeve is odd and its effect artistic.
I The collar is slightly shirred, and also the
I girdle, which fastens in the back with a
i big black lace rosette.
