Portable feeling tonight that the potatoes,
onions, peas and mustard are all in the

you do not know what that means to city
folks. II you ever had to eat vegetables
that are days old and tastelesS, then you
would appreciate your fresh vegetables in
Summer. Our three or four rows of peas
are more to us than your whole square,

Little I2eEislleB.

In the spring months, more than at any
other season of the year, the appetite is
variable and Graves little relishes. Dried
beef can be bought in the market Or at
the grocers. 1t comes sliced, in small
pasteboard and wooden boxes, and also
sealed in tin cans; or, your marketman
will shave it off for you in the quantities
you desire. This may be served, uncoolS-
ed, for luncheon or tea, or it may be
creamed or frizzled. Smoked salmon or
haIibut makes a most appetizing relish
when broiled and seasoned with butters
Sometimes the fish is improved by being
soaked in boiling water for ten minutes
before it is broiled. Only d small quantity
Of this relish will be required, about a

In hot oven for ten minutes.
Breakfast bacon is one of the most serV-
iceable relishes within the reach of the
housekeeper. 1t may ,be used by itself
or combined with many other things to
give them the needed savoriness. 1t may

you, if you wish; but if one has cool
place to keep it in, it is a good plan to BUY
a whole piece of the boneIess breakfast
bacon, which comes in wrappings that can
be kept on it until the last of the meat IS
used. 1t is not only a great convenience
to have the bacon in the house, but it is also
more economical to buy a whole piece than
to get it in small uantities.-Maria Parloa,
