Summer SQuashes.

Summer squashes or cymlings-This is
one of our summer vegetables, so deli
cious in the country or where they may
be obtained fresh from the garden, and
so unsatisfactory when procured in a city
market. Gardeners seem to be loath to
they reason probably from the mistaken
idea that size is desirable. Summer
squashes or cymlings, as they are known
in the South, are of two varietieS-the
round white and the yellow crook-neck.
In selecting them, if they are small and
heavy, and the skin can be pierced easily,
and is light, greenish yellow, with small,
soft, warty ridges, it is a sign of youth,
and they will be sweet and tender. But
those with deep yellow skin, hard and
shriveled or dried, are old, and while they
may be used by pairing them, they will
not be so good as the smaller kind, for
much of the flavor and body is in the
skin. The common way of cooking
squash in New England is to pare off the
stem and blossom and cut them in sever
al pieces, put them on to boil in small
amount of water and when tender turn
them into a strainer cloth and squeeze
out the water. Then mash, season with
butter or cream, salt and pepper. II
large and old, they are pared, the seeds
removed, and then cooked as usual. But
taught us better and more inviting ways
of preparing this delicate vegetable.
Stewed summer squash-Remove the
stem and blossom end and any hard or
bruised places. Put them on in boiling
water directly after breakfast, and let
them cook until they are tender and break
easily. Turn them out into cloth laid
over colander and mash them. Squeeze
out the water, then rub the pulp through
%ho IT., infn
pan in which you have melted a table
spoon of butter, add salt and pepper and
gill of cream, and place the pan on
the back of the stove or where the. squash
will not burn, and let it stew all hour or
more, or till the water has all evaporated
and the squash is quite dry. Squashes
are largely water, and it takes several to
make pint of pulp, after draining and
sitting. 1t should be served very hot,
and in this creamy condition will not be
recognized as the same vegetable as com.
monty served.

Subjects of Dinner-Table Talk.

The modern woman, with her ethics,
her ambitions, her fads. her dogmatic
beliefs. is not, after all, an absolutely
fresh thing of the dawn in the worlds
history, Rather curiously, Roxane in
"Cyrano de Bergerac" belongs to the
same type which dates from the days Of
the Hotel de Rambouillet, and has al
ways had it's votaries in France. To
those precieuses mere conversation was
une .betise; they liked declarations; dis
cussions, not on the right of woman to
the ballot, but whether she should be
held little higher than the angels, or
consent to be beloved. This phase Of
preciosity led up to the French salon.
where that dollhouse fashion of prepar-
ing an intellectual bill Of fare for guests
found its most acceptable phase. Nine
Campan, whose advice may be said to
have formed a whole generation of
charming women, used to prescribe the
subject Of talk for dinner tables, just as
certain lotteries of women prescribe it
today. This was her system: with
twelve at table, talk voyages and litera-
ture; with eight, the fine arts, science
invention; with six, politics or philoso:
ply; with four, sentiment, romantic adj
venture; with two, talk of yourselves
egoism belongs to the tete-a-tete. ELLEN

There are people who act upon the he.

A little praise and encouragement when

more good than scolding for something
which has been neglected or forgotten.
A most useful lesson to be learned by

sympathy where others sneer, or encour-
agement where others rebuke or condemn.

thing is that should be ashamed to
confess some of the small things that
prejudice me against people, little hab-

gossiping about other people, which
makes me feel that my turn will come
at the first opportunity. But I can't say

Do you believe that every woman tells
the most sacred and secret things she
knows about every other woman?'
"Oh, my DEAR" said the elder woman,
Il don't know, l can't tell. 1 have
known some dear women whom 1 would
trust sooner than I would myself, and |
have known SO many others who will
tell the most intimate secrets of their
friends lives. And if they have told me,
there is no reason why they have not
told dozens Of other people. But there is
one thing you may be sure of in many
cases--that they could not have told If
they had not been told in the first place
themselves.
1T is the greatest comfort in the world
to tell your troubles to some sympathiz-

are many things about family life that
should be kept in the family. They do
not involve you alone. Read Maeter-

At the Vanderbilt bail Friday night
the favors were all floral designs and
were distributed from a floral device spe-
cially constructed. An imitation sedan
chair was made of bright flowers and or
ramcnted with ribbons and tiny electric
lights, which were supplied by a storage
battery neatly concealed under the seat.
-Four tall men in costumes of Louis V.
carried the chair to the center of the
room. where a little girl who was seated
within distributed the favors, which
were of the latest Partisan desi sn. Aft
er the sedan chair had been removed six
tall bushes of American Beauty roses in
full bloom were brought out upon the
floor. In accordance with a recent Lon
don fad six beautiful young ladies were
tied to the trees and the gentlemen were
obliged to draw lots for the privilege of
releasing them. The successful young
men were then entitled to dance with the
fair captives. In addition to the floral
fayors there were white satin mountain
sticks with huge punches of American
Beauty roses tied with broad bows of
blue-fgured ribbons Of the latest import
ed patterns. These were distributed
from tall golden standards and were ar
ranged in the form of trees.

A Chair Of unclei,m Needed.

A Chair OF Unc1efBm ced
Unclehood is about the hardest hood
man has to wear and, as I have observ-
ed uncles and their habits, they either
'poil or repel the small chaps and chap
posses who happen to be made their
nephews and nieces by an accident Of
birth. Uncles are either intensely
genial or intensely irritable, and as tar
as I am concerned it is my belief that
u colleges should include in their ear
riculum a chair Of "uncleism."
Unclehood Is a relationship that man
has to accept. It is thrust upon him.
He can't help himself. To be a father
or a mother is a matter of volition. But
even In a free country like our own, If
a man has a brother or q sister, he is
liable to find himself an uncle at any
time whether he wishes to be one or
not. Then when it happens he's got to
reason out a curse Of procedure with.
