Parasols.

Parasols are of piece with the mil
linery. They have been growing
more pronounced for the past three
years and have reached the acme. The
sateen parasols for country wear are
printed on brilliant tulip, rose, and
daffodn patterns. The richer styles
are not only in high colcrs but embroid-
cred and contrasted with decorative fan
cies in crazy fashion that suggests the
freaks of 1unatics rather that serious
intention.
The finest parasols are the black or
cream satin covered with plated gauze
or real Spanish lace. with ivory or ebony
handles and hammered gold or silver
tops.
This year lace is used for cover or
q full deep border put on fiat but not as
ruffie. Sometimes the lace cover
falls over the edge of the foundation
silk or satin, but it does not greatly en-
large it.

Don't Work on an Empty Stomach.

The errors that prevail with regard
to early morning exercises are simply
monstrous. Even the strong and ath-
letic are liable to injure themselves by
exercising long and vigorously in the
early morning on an empty stomach,
while the delicate, the dyspeptic and the
nervous should not allow themselves to
indulge in any sustained activity OF
brain or muscles until the system has
been fortified by at least preliminary
breakfast. Farmers sometimes injure
themselves by working too hard and
too long before breakfast. Moderate
exercise, such as walking the lighter
forms of gymnastics, and easy games,
can be taken indiscr1minately, just be-
fore or after meals, without injury; but
the severer tasks-rowing, active games
should usually be reserved for the
middle of the forenoon or afternoon,
or for the evening 1t is not well to &C
to our meals in a condition of exhaus-
ton, either of the brain or of the
muscles.

Advice to Young Married People

The Culver for June.
':Drive gently over the stones I"
This piece of advice, which is frequent
1y given to inexperienced whips, may
be respectfully suggested to the newly
married. There are stony places on
the road to happiness, which. if not
carefully driven over. may upset the do
nestle coach. The first rock ahead
which should be marked dangerous"
is the first year of married life. Here,
especially, is the first step that costs;
as a rule, the first year either mars or
makes marriage. During this period
cast shadow over every year that fol-
lows.
On awakening from sleep we feel put
out and rather cross. May not the
young husband and wife experience
feelings not entirely different when
they awake to reality from the
dreams of courtship and the fasination
of the honeymoon? Everything must
once more be contemplated at the ordi-
nary manner of the world, once more
with subdued feelings spoken of, con-
sidered, and settled. For the first
time, husband and wife see each other
as they actually are. Each bring GER
tain pecularities into the married stale
to which the other has to grow accus-
toned. They have now no longer to
live for themselves, but for each other,
and the lesson is not learned in mo-
ment. In all things Indifferent the hus-
band and wife must be willing to yield,
however new it may be to them, how
ever different from what they them
selves thought. Self must be sacrificed
in order thereby to gain the help of
another beloved existence. A lady
once asked DR.. johnson how in his
Dictionary he came to define pastern
the knee of a horse; he Immediately
answered, Ignorance; madame, pure
ignorance. This is simply the expla-
nation of many an accident that takes
place at the commencement of the mat
rimonial journey. The young couple
have not yet learned the dangerous
places of the road, and, as conse-
quence, they drive carelessly over them.

"Gordon gone away!" she echoed.
''What do you mean?'
"Why," said Bob, somewhat impa-
tiently, che did not mean any harm
when he came here in the character OF
a German professor, which OF course
he isn't, though his mother was a Ger
man, and her name was Holstein."
"Do you mean to say" cried Helen,
changing color, "that Professor Hol-
stein is your friend Leon Gordon?"
s'Why, he said you knew all about
it. There is a Professor Holstein, who
is writing work on philology. He is
Gordon,s uncle; but he's middle

shook out very wet handkerchief and
looked at him through her tears.
Something in her face must havegiv-

around her, and he drew thelittle, pas
sive hand, which he held, to his lips.
"Say you will forgive me!' he urged,
with sudden boldness. ''Think how
hard it will be, and how inconvenient,
to get q new German teacher IN the
middle of the summer. Helen, don't
you think you might marry me? Then
we could continue our lessons lndefi-
nitely."

priation she felt herself being drawn IN

How to Roast Beef.

Have'ribs OF prime beef, prepared by
the butcher for roasting, all the bones
being taken out If it is desired to carve
a clean slice from the top; secure it in
place with stout Irvine; do no. use
skewers, as the holes they make permit
the meat juice to escape; lay it in the
dripping pan on thefollowing vegetables
cut in small pieces: One small onion.
half a carrot, half a turnip, three sprigs
Of parsley, one sprig of thyme and three
bay leaves; do not put any water in the
pan; its temperature cannot rise to &

juice. Do not season it until the sur
face is partly carbonized by the heat. as
salt applied to the cut fbres draws out
their juices. When entirely done. which
will be in from fifteen TO twenty minutes
for each pound of beef, the Joint should
be kept hot until served, but should be
served as soon as possible, to be good.
When gravy is made, half a pint OF hot
water should be put into the dripping
pan after the vegetables have been re-
moved, and the gravy should BE boiled
briskly for q few minutes until it is thick
enough, and seasoned to suit the palate

with a teaspoonful of flour, which
should be mixed with a gill of cold
water before it is stirred into the gravy.
The above are Julia Corson's directions
for roasting beef.
