is really quite startling.
An apple with firm, smooth skin
should be selected. Take a long. slender
darning needle and thread it with silk or
cotton. Linen thread is perhaps the best,
as it is not so liable to break. Begin at
the stem and take long stitch under
the skin of the apple, being careful not
to go so deep that the point of the nee

it may be utilized. Do not leave it in
the pot with the grounds, but pour it off

reheat it with the grounds. 1t may be

Too many young women Of today mar
~ to be supported, but they do not in
tend to do houseworkv If they marry
man i'll moderate circumstances they
.'prefer to board" They endeavor to be
fashionably dressed, and are miserable
and unhappy because they cannot have
everything their fancy Graves. It does
not make any difference where circum-
stances have placed a woman. 1t is the
woman herself YOU must study. l have
heard men say they would never marry
girls from wealthy families, for such
girls expect so much.
L knew two young men in fair circum-
stances. One married young girl of 10
of wealthy family. They rented a mod
est fiat in good neighborhood 1t was
furnished pretti!y, many of the articles
of furniture being gifts from wealthy
relatives and friends of the bride. She
thought they could not afford servant,
and did her own work. In a few years
her husband was so prosperous they
moved into much handsomer apart
ment' and md were able to keep two sserv-
ants. They are happy, having been
blessed with children, and the wife is
never too proud to 20 into the kitchen if
necessary, says the Chicago Pest.
The other young man married a stenog-
rapher They took handsome fat and
furnished it eXtrayagantly. A servant
was engaged ut once they entertained
and sought society. The first few months
they thought they were fright in it,"
Later the man lost his position. The re-
suit was failure and separation. The
young woman is now working on a sal
airy. Perhaps were she married again
she would try to economic and help her
husband.
So it goes. Some women who are EN-
ployed have great ideas of marriage, but
they do not know the first principles Of
the duties Of wife.
Young man, if you cannot read char
acter and do not know how to study hui
man nature, you will have to take your
chances and draw prize or blank.
Everyone is supposed to choose his
friends and associates from the social
station to which he belongs. It is COM
mendable in anyone to seek the best if
his circumstances will permit him to
reach people who will be edifying and up
lifting to him. Money does not mako
people desirable, but wealth and true
worth are a great help to any young
man or woman struggling to rise in the
world. The higher one aims the loftier
the heights he or she will attain.

mutual love and respect, but with no
definite notion of the time when it shall
end in marriage, and probably with no

begin the new family. Such betrothal
may involve waiting of two, or three, or
