THE DOMESTIC GIRL.

To the weary business girl who
rushes through life like a whirlwind
the dear little domestic home girl is
as refreshing as a lake breeze. II
you are wage-earner with your
mind all befuddled with business
cares, just seek one of these little
housewifely maidens and you'll get
as much comfort just from looking
at her as you would from a two
weeks vacation. She is so restful.
She hasn't been foolish enough to
save some money and invest it in
stock and then have her brain tenn
porarily unsettled every time the
price goes down a notch or two.
She doesn't care two cents wheth-
err it rains or storms-she can fuss
around with her flour sieve and her
cake tins and be as happy as if the
sun were shining. If you call on
her in the morning, she'll rush at
you with rolling pin in one hand
and biscuit cutter in the other.
When she kisses you the -four on her
nose is transferred to your own, and
you pick the little chunks of dough
from between your fingers all the
rest Of the day. Then she'll march
you into the kitchen, and there sit
ting in row are cakes with coats
of frosting and loaves of bread that
have overrun their pans and pies
with edges all fluted and scalloped.
She puts her little belaced and be-
ribboned head on one side, surveys
her work with twice the admira-
ton with which you survey your
monthly earnings and says, aren't
these just too lovely?'
They say the gentle home girl is
growing scarcer every year. Who
can censure man when he carries
her off to turn his bachelors den in
to four-roomed fairylaud that is
the envy of all his friends?
These are the days when a girl
sails forth in a cool white muslin
gown, and comes home in somebody
else's last winters jacket.
This is also the season when
girls summer clothes are looking
rather rusty and she brings out all
her winter gowns to see how many
of them it will take to make one
good, presentable autumn Dress

HOW TO USE BANANAS.

The Housekeeper gives the follow
ing recipes for using bananas
Banana shortcake: One pint of
-four, one large teaspoonful of good
baking powder, one-third cupiul of
shortening made moist with milk.
While baking, slice bananas in the
proportion of three to one orange,
CRATE the outside OF the orange-peel
and mix with one cup of sugar.
Split the freshly baked cake, butter
and fill with the fruit. Four table
spooniuls of sweet cream, beaten
stiff and added to the fruit, is an
Improvement.
Banana cream pudding: Melt
one cuplul of sugar in one pint of
hot milk. Mix two tablespoonfuls
OF corn-starch with cold milk, stir it
into the milk and cook fifteen min.
utes. Add two tablespoonful of
butter. Be It the whites Of three
eggs, stir into the thckened milk
and cook again Tor five minutes.
Turn into deep dish to cool. When
ready to serve, cover the cream with
sliced bananas. Mix a few grains
oisalt with half a cuplul of powdered
sugar. Sprinkle this cover over the
bananas. Serve with cream and

beaten into one cupful OF thick cream.

CONCERNING MEMORANDA.

Every one knows the difficulty of
carrying number of errands in ones
mind. Perhaps there is no strain
greater than that OF trying to re-
call in order commissions which are
to be done at certain time and
which, if forgotten, will cause great
inconvenience, or worse. Many
wrinkles and gray hairs, if not many
cases of nervous prostration, may
be prevented by the practice of MAX
ing memor inda Of things to be re-
membered. Standing on a small

THE HOME LIBRARY.

A place to keep BOOKS is one of the
first essentials in imparting a tone
of thorough refinement to a house.
What sort of books will you have
in your home library? Remember,
you need not buy them all at once.
A library is like garden. 1t grows
by cultivation. Like the family to
whom it belongs, it develops day by
day, yearly year. 1t is like house,
1t must needs possess foundations,
well-hewn and strongly laid.
First among its must-be's is good
encyclopaedia. There are always
arising occasions when the intelli-
gent person finds it advisable to go
to some authority in order to get
matters straight in his mind. No.
body's memory can retain every
thing one ought to know about
Siam, about Ceylon, about coffe-
raising, about hundred other
things and places and peoples, all
Of which are treated by specialists in
an encyclopedia.
Among other books of reference a
a dictionary of date is Indispensable !;
SO is a compendium of familiar quo
tations and a readers handbook.
The very best attainable lexicon
should be in some accessible spot
where the children and young people
may form the habit of consulting it
whenever doubt arises as to the
spelling, pronunciation, or precise
shade of meaning of any word,
whether word in common use or
one seldom heard. This is scholarly
exactitude, not pcdantry.
In good and well chosen home
library there will by degrees enter
separation and adjustment. One
shelf will hold volumes of history
another will be devoted to biography
another to poetry, to travels, to es
says. The book-loving boy or CIR
will insensibly acquire so intimate
an acquaintance with the books
that he or she can put a hand or
any wished for volume without long
and bewildered search. The back,
of the books will regard the family
in a friendly fashion, and some
brown, fat, shabby, faded, much
read, and often made the compan
ions of daily life, will have an indl
viduality never the portion of an,
but friends of the famIly.-[ Harper
