bitter almonds is said TO be good for re-

As general thing the blood is not re-

BE My Sweetheart.
Ry Eupenp Field.

Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When the birds are on the wing,
When bee and bud and babbling flood
Bespeak the birth of spring;
Come, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
And wear this posy-ring!
sweetheart be my sweetheart
In the mellow golden glow
or earth aflush with the gracious blush
Which the ripeDiEg fields foreshow;
Dear sweetheart, be my sweetheart,
As into the moon we go!
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When falls the bounteous year,
When fruit and wine of tree and vine
Give us their harvest cheer;
oh, sweetheart, be my sweetheart,
For winter 1t draweth near.
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When the year is white and old,
When the fire of youth is spent, forsooth,
And the hand of age is cold;
Yet, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
TIL the year of our love be told!

Fussy House Bodices.

There is a wonderful tendency to trim
the house waists. The plain full silk ones
that were so much admired in the fall are
not admired at all now. Even the puffed
sleeve is gathered in the middle with a
rosette. Gold thread ia very abundant
upon the waists, Many of them were trim
med with it entirely. I recall one worn by
young woman at the matinee that was Of
pale rose silk. Around the throat chased
the stripes of gold thread, doubled and
many times doubled. Down the chest 1t
ran also, making circles of ITSELF and
finally describing figure like an arab
esQue.

Odd New Blouses.

Bodices are no longer loose, in blouse
fashion. There is a tendency to small, full
basques, the fullness extending all around
the waist. We shall see plenty of basques
fitting the figure snugly as the season ad-
vances. Some of the new designs offered by
leading Paris dressmakers, show the sleeve
following the outlines of the arm In its en-
tire length. with trimming arranged as
puff each side of the middle. Other sleeve
designs begin halfway down the upper
part of the arm. with but q very small puff
just at the 6lboy.

THE HOUSEWIFE SPEAKS.

- OOD meat is elastic to the touch.
Meat that is wet and flabby should
a be discarded. 1t should not become
" gelatinous after being kept in a
cool place for two days, but should
remain dry on the surface and firm to the
touch.
GOOD beef has a reddish brown color,
and contains no clots Of blood. Well
pourished beeyes furnish flesh which
while raw is marbled with spots of white
fat; it is firm and compact. Old, lean ami
mails furnish a flesh which is tough. dry,
and dark the fat is yellow. Veal is slightly
reddish and has tender, white fibers. The
fat is not distributed through the lean, a in
beef. The same is true Of mutton. In we'll
nourished animals, white fat accumulates
along the borders OF the muscles.
LEMON will do for the ye1low-white
