and right. The latest letter had been
so much more importunate and imper-
alive than usual, Mrs. Rycliffe had
decided to answer it in person. Only
by doing so could she convince her
sclf how pressing were Medora's ne
cessities and how exacting her own
duty.
Il never could think her sincere,
mother. She always appeared to me
scheming, selfish and hypocritical."
But she thought a heap of you,
John"
Again he was obstinately silent.
His mother was too wise to say that
which was on her mind-namely, that
John had been indifferent to Medora,
and to all other women since the year
before Medora's advent at Grassnook,
the girl on whom he had lavished the
most passionate love of strong ma
ture, had thrown him over for man
whom he knew to be in every sense of
the word, his inferior.
Wont Medora be surprised to see
me, thought" chirped Mrs Rycliffe, as
she and her son stood waiting for the
train. II always said to her I'd never
go another journey by rail, and here
! am doing it. Well, good-by, John.
BE sure you water the house plants,
and give Snowdrop her milk regularly,
and see that the shutters are fixed so
they don't slam and break the glass.
Goodbye, John"
And then she was whirling away to
the great city.
'Be you going to New York, Mrs.
Rycliffe?" queried voice behind her.
YES" turning to face n neighbour.
you're going to see Sarah James new
baby, suppose, Mrs. Ryan?"
''Yes'm. You amt forgot Elsie
Cameron, l dare say?'
NO." answered Mrs. Rycliffe,
stirred by the resentment the thought
of Elsie invariably aroused. Why
couldn't the girl have married her fine
son, and been daughter to her?
ut 'ud be charity" declared Mrs.
Ryan, III you'd go to see her. heerd
as how her husband was dead. and she
had a child to support, and wasn't
overstrong. She'd be mighty glad Ia

Suggestions for thu Cook.

During the spring months the house
keeper finds more difficulty in getting
up varied and appetizing meals than
at any other season.
Fortunate is she who has supply of
parsnips ready to be dug as soon as the
frost is out of the ground, an aspara-
gus bed and patch Of pieplant
The parsnips may be simply boiled
and mashed, or after boiling cut in
thin slices and fried in butter.
To make parsnip stew cut equal
quantities of parsnips and potatoes
into small pieces and boil with several
slices of salt pork; season with salt and
pepper.
We cook asparagus in the following
ways: First, cut into half-inch pieces
and boil in sailed water twenty min
utes; season with cream or butter, or
both, and eat with bread or oyster crack
ers.
q Cut into half-inch pieces, reject
ing the tough ends, boil 10 minutes in
just enough water so that none need
be poured off. Beat one or two eggs,
add three tablespoonfuls of cream,
sweet or sour, and one of vinegar,
salt. When the asparagus is done
pour this mixture over it and let it
come to the boiling point.
8. Tie the asparagus in small bun
dies and boil in just enough sailed
water to cover it. Toast some slices
of bread and butter them, lay the
asparagus on and butter that and pour
over all the water in which the aspar-
agus was boiled.
We think pieplant sauce is best
cooked without any water. Peel, cut
in small pieces, put in the sugar and
that will draw out the juice; cook it
in pail set in kettle of boiling
water or in the oven.
If pieplant is scalded in boiling
water few minutes before cooking it
will not require as much sugar, but it
will not be as rich.
Pieplant can be canned for winter
use without cooking by cutting the
peeled stalks into small pieces and
filling the cans and pouring over them
cold water. Seal at once. We always
put up gooseterries for pies in that
way and they keep nicely. We are
just using the last of those we put up
last summer.
When used pour off the water, wash
them in another water, cook in just a
little water until soft, sweeten, thicken
the syrup with -four and fill your pies.
A quart can makes two round pies.
Raisins are SO cheap now, 90 or 25
pounds for dollar, that we have used
them freely. They have three of the
most desirable qualities of food. They
are very nutritious, inexpensive and
palatable. Simply boiled and sweet
encd land they need but little sugar.
they make nice sauce. Soaked over
night and cooked little in the morn
ing they are good for pies, while
handful added to bread or rice pud-
ding or boiled with hominy ia a great
addition.
Bananas, also, may be recommended
for the same reasons. Eat out of the
skin or slice and eat with sugar and
cream.
Oranges are not as nutritious, but
they are healthful, and though more
expensive probably do not cost as
much as pies or cakes while needing
no time to prepare, an item Of import
ance in the housekeeping days so
soon to be upon us.-Helena Maynard
in Farmers Review.

Rcd Parasols.

1t is said that red parasol de-
stroys In great measure the actinic
power OF the sun and must. there
fore, keep the skin from freckles.
Photographers long ago availed
themselves OF this popularity OF
light transmitted through red
medium. and 1t seems reasonable to
suppose that red shade might pro-
tect the complexion.

+; "A CLEANSING AGENT.-Fof washing
mirrors and windows ammonia is very
desirable; put a few drops Of Ammonia
on piece Of paper, and it will readily
take off every spot or finger mark on
the glass. It will take out grease
spots. Put on the ammonia nearly
clear, lay plotting paper over the place
and press q hot flat-iron on it for q
few moments. A few drops in water
win clean laces and whiten them as
well; also muslins. Then it is most
refreshing agent at the toilet table; q
few drops in basin of water will
make better bath than pure water;
and If the skin is oily, it will remove
all glossiness and disagreeable odors.
Added to foot bath, it entirely alb
serbs all noxious smells SO often aris-
ing from the feet in warm weather,
and nothing is better for cleaning
the hair from dandruff and dust. For
cleaning hair and nail-brushes it is
equally good.

idly as possible. Pass through sieve
and set in the coolest place you can
find. sWhile they are cooling, whip
the whites Of two or three eggs to a
stiff froth, and add some powdered
sugar. When the apple has become
quite cold, whip the egg into it and
keep it in cold place until time for
serving. Whipped cream may be
served with it if desired.

FLOATING ISLAND. For one common
sized floating island have a sponge cake
that will weigh pound and half or
two pounds; slice it downward, al
most to the bottom, but do not take
the slices apart; stand up the cake in
the center OF glass bowl or a deer
dish; have ready pint and half of
cream, make it very sweet with sugar,
and color it a fine green with tea
cupful of the juice of pounded spinach
boiled five minutes by itself, strained
and made very sweet. Or for coloring
pink, currant jelly or the juice Of pre-
served strawberries may be used
Whip to stiff froth another pint and
half Of sweetened cream, and flavor
it with glass of mixed wine and
brandy; pour round the cake in the
dish the colored, unfrothed cream, an
pile the whipped white cream all over
the cake, highest on the top.

Aunt Mary!
Mrs. Rycliffe rose with stiff effort.
She was cramped and tired.

For four days was Mrs. Rycliffe the
guest of Mrs. Pugh. And she saw
more than the interview with Elsie,
to convince her she was under no OBJ
legation To give money or its equiva-
lent to Medora. She saw an extrava-
giant, ill-regulated household, where
prevailed all manner of schemes to
make show Of opulence, and all
kinds of petty subterfuges to evade
responsibility and payment of just
debts. She saw selfish man and
woman, both devoid of any sense of
rectitude and honor When she an
nounced her intention of going home,
Medora said:
"As soon as the weather gets lit
tie warmer we shall go down to Grass
nook, and spend several months with
you and dear John"
"Im afraid sha'p't have room. "the
elder woman declared. Elsie Payne
is coming home with me-"

blankly.
"Yes-you've heard of her as Elsie
Cameron. She's been doing some
PLAIN sewing for you, believe. was
there the day you called and paid for
those sacques."
Medora was silent, understanding
the futility Of explanation or excuse.

mother, Elsie, and the child. He
