praised the glory of your hair,
For you were lovely then, | know.

The only woman in the world,
But, when bent upon INV Knee,
Your little lip with laughter curled
An me my discOntcntcd Eve!
An haplcss me, a love sick Adam,
! loved YOU deeply, | believe,
And yet, you scorned me, my dear madam.
YOu have an Ellen, lady, still,
With scores of Adams at your feet,
And doubtless all their hearts you all.
And doubtless they believe You sweet.
And yet you squeeze my fingers, TOO,
And look with your bewitchng eyes.
Ard what am ] to such a. you!
You cannot care for such plize.
No, no, my sweet, my tempting Eve.
] cannot, dare not, be Your Adam,
To other lovers let me leave
The apple, II you please, dear madam.

Useful Hints,

A little soda put into the dish pan will
remove grease more readily than soap.
1t may be n little harder on the hands
than the soap but if dishwasher is
used only the tops Of the fingers need go
into the water.
White paint that has grown yellow in
streaks should be washed with warm water
and soap, with little whitening put on
the brush and cloth. This softens the
neint and removes the yellow. Dry with
a soft rag.
Stale bread should be put in the oven
for few moments to brown and then pu!
in dry paper bag until needed. Little
squares of this bread taste well in soup
and when grated it is suitable for bread.
ing oysters, fish, etc.
Heavy brown paper pasted over bare
floor, especially where the boards are bad
and the cracks wide, keeps out great
deal of dust and draft and preserves the
carpet. Padding and other papers may
OF course, be used over this, but the
brown paper should be evenly pasted, nc
edges coming near the cracks.
1t will save a great amount of dust if a
carpet is well sprinkled with tea-leavet
md swept before being taken up,
Careful housewives who care for theil
compilations and being "choked up will
