Young men get into trouble with some

In the days of court plaster, fellows would

the mischief with ardent lovers, setting its

Even the perfume OF a handkerchief has

tall, graceful figure on the hotel veranda,
and had been pronounced the stunningest
girl in the house. But no matter how much
attention the other boys paid to her. the
New York boy, whom I'll call Fawky,
seemed to have the inside track. On this
particular morning, the girl wore q blue
serge skirt, a silk blouse and braces, while
her russets were piquantly tied over her
arched insteps. Apparently, she few the
motto: Look, but don't touch; I'm for no

poor nephew to a rich aunt
Presently they disappeared around the
corner of the varanda and came back no
more. This was too much for jealous flesh
to bear, and so two couples quickly res olved
to follow the fugitives. As they turned
the corner there sat Fawky and

chair-a Quaker rocker--and she on the
arm. They sprang up and then there was a
burst OF laughter. FawkY was caught, and
no matter how he turned and twisted he
could not get away. In putting his arm
around the girls waist he had mad vertently
thrust his hand under one of her new style
''galluses" and his cuff button had caught
upon it. Not until one of the other girls
had offered her assistance could Fawky be
released. So l say: Girls look out for your
braces, during embraces.

She says: "A man told me that he can live

"Do tell me just how to cook ham,"
said an inexperienced housekeeper to O
friend who was noted for her culinary
knowledge, SAYS the New York Tribune
Il have looked in four cook hooks and can
find nothing plain and simple enough for
my Birdy to follow; they all assume that
the ham is boiled or half boiled when they
proceed to treat it In more aborate fashion,
and have not an idea how to begin even.
l have bought my ham-I know enough for
that, and know what are the best hams III
the market. Now begin and tell me just
what to do with it until it is ready to serve
cold ON the table,
''lt is very simple said her friend, "but
l know 1t is as you say; it is just the SIM
pie, obvious kno wledge that il is hardest to
| find written rules for. First, soak your
ham all night in water, which should cover
| it entirely. Then set it on fire TO boil. The
rule for boiling a ham is fifteen minutes TO
each pound, so you can easily tell by weigh

| be necessary to cook it. When it is half
boiled change the water. and TO the last
| boiling add a cupful Of molasses. When it
| is done set it TO cool, and when 1t is cold
enough, skin it and put it in the oven to
bake until the whole is nicely Drowned
some people sprinkle 1t before putting 1t in
the oven with brown sugar, which forms a
sort Of glaze.
This is the simplest way OF cooking
ham, and there is none better In my estima-
ton; but there are all sorts Of facts about
what will giveit various peculiar havors
and many are the suggestions for the last

payne just at the last others in beer; many
