Mary rieonA

Once there was 9 little girl, as the say
Ing goes, and she and her brother loved
to pose In tableaux OF their own con-
ceiving. At the time when the Greek
play Of "Antigone" was given In the
city. they heard much talk about it
from their elders, and were all afire to
produce something brilliant themselves,
on their own little stage.
Lets play Antigone!' suggested
Bertha, at last, when the old folks had
been again talking it over.
All right" responded Tom. I'll be
Antigone."
mo, you can't. She was a lady. I'll.
be Antigone."
CAN right. You may. I'll be George
Washington, and come in and tell her
about my Ratchet"
So the rehearsals were begun, and
things went swimmingly. One day,
however, Bertha got a little fractions,
and longed for a change.
Il guess I don't like Antigone very
WE'LL" she said. st don't like her name
"All right said obliging Tom. "let's
alter it."
why, what can we call herr"
MARY Tigone. That's a good name"
The prima donna approved the
change, and the play went on.-Youth's

notwithstanding Which Fact He Made
q Good Bargain in New York.
Talk about Philadelphians being
SLOW" said an uptown dealer in
rare books to a New York Evening
Sun man; ''why, I'll tell you about a
little incident that happened the
other day.
"a Philadelphia who has a nice
collection of are engravings and
etchings came to this city on a visit
and was almost stranded financially
before he knew it. An ordinary man
would have written or ~telegraphed
home for cash. But this one didn't.
He was strolling down Broadway,
undecided whether to continue his
walk as far as Philadelphia or
not. when he came to q little shop
where e%n.ravings and etchings are
sold.
''His mania for collecting forced
him to enter the shop and examine
the stock, although he didn't have
money enough to buy a fair-sized
chrome. Turning over a number OF
etchings and eneravings laying upon
q sort of bargain table at the rear of
the shop he came across a fine COPY
OF the celebrated Rajon portrait Of
Tennyson, of which he had a highly
priced specimenin his own collection.
Thinking it strange that the etching
should be lying among the other
cheap objects on the table he asked
its price Of a clerk.
".Take it along for a quarter
said the clerk.
":All right, said the Philadelphia
an, rolling up the etching and paying
over the money.
"'Shall l wrap it up for youp'
asked the clerk.
"'Oh. no, you needn't mind and
the Philadelphia walked off with
his prize. He did not walk far,
though. Stopping at a well-known
engraving Dealers shop not fou.
blocks away the Philadelphia man
offered the etching for sale.
"~'Twenty-fve dollars was the
offer of the dealer. The Philadelphia
man accepted the money, although it
was but little more than half the
price at which the Rajon portrait is
catalogued, and went his way. He
paid all the expenses Of his New
York trip at one stroke

bounded by hugging and kissing on II

HOW TO COOK MACARoNI.
Variety of Ways in Which 1t Is Very APP
petlzing.


petlzing.
This nourishing dish, which forms
the daily food of the people of south
ern Europe, is not appreciated as gen.
orally in some parts of our own coun-
try as it should be, and this is doubt
less due to ignorance as to the proper
manner of preparing it. Two simple
rules, if observed insure absolute sue
cess.
Have plenty of sailed water in a deep
saucepan two quarts or more for half
a pound). and do not add the macaroni
until the water comes to sharp boil.
This is most important, for if the
water is simply hot and not bubbling,
and if it is scant in quantity, the maca-
roni will surely be pasty, and not only
non-appetizing, but indigestible. Let
it cook rapidly until done, which will
be in not less than three-quarters of
an hour.
This secret of good dish of maca-
roni is one that the cook books fail to
touch upon, and if any time at all is
given, twenty or twenty-five minutes
is the utmost allowed. Test it by TAX
ing piece between the fingers, and if
it mashes easily it is cooked enough.
By being boiled too long the nutritive
qualities are lost in the water.
Drain thoroughly and it is then ready
to serve in a variety of ways, the
simplest of which is with a cream
sauce. Do not pour the sauce over
until it is ready to go to the table, and
pass grated cheese with it. After be-
ing mixed with the cream sauce it
may be turned into an escalop dish
sprinkled with half cup of grated
cheese and the same quantity of bread
crumbs and Drowned twenty minutes
in hot oven. This is macaroni au
gratin.
The kind known as spaghetti (the
small pipe), is considered the best, and
the Italian never breaks it as we do,
but serve it in long pieces, and gener-
ally with tomato sauce. To make
this, put generous spoonful of butter
in saucepan, and fry in it thin slice
of onion and a sprig of parsley. Cook
a few minutes, and add tablespoonful
of flour; when the flour is pale brown
add gradually one pint of strained to-
mato which had previously been
cooked. One or two, cloves give a
pleasant flavor, but of course these and
the onion must be removed before serv-
ing.
Mix the sauce thoroughly with the
drained spaghetti and serve in a COW
cred dish. This makes a very nice
course at luncheon or dinner, and
grated cheese should be passed with it.
Macaroni left from the day before
may be warmed over and not suffer,
but, rather, be improved by the process,
if only it has been cooked properly in
the first place; and especially this IS
true of spaghetti with tomato sauce.
In the rewarming, set it, covered, where
it will become thoroughly heated, but
do not let it boil.-Harpers Bazaar.
