her? Not bit of 1t. She has been living

son will be young and fresh when another
woman would be faded and old She in
spires sweet thoughts by her manners and
charming interesting mentality. Just the
other night she was sitting in a box at a
theater, sharing an evenings enjoyment
sstth several other playgoers, when a
young man appeared on the stage and
claimed her attention.
Il saw that mans father play with
Charlotte Cuchman 80 years ago." she re-
marked to a man who sat behind her.
You must have been brought in on a
pillow he answered.
Now, why in the world don't men cul-
tivate cleverness like that?
Not one in 40 would have had the tact

Both finely chopped meat and the whites
of eggs are used to clear soups; profess
sional cooks use the meat, but the white
of an egg Is so convenient that its value
for this purpose cannot be too well under
stood.
The critical point in the work of clearing
comes after the egg has been added and
the soup allowed to reach the bubbling
point. From that time until the soup is
strained it should be kept at the boiling
point without really boiling for half an
hour, closely covered all the time. If it
boils hard the egg will be broken up by
the rapid motion of the liquid, and will
not harden in a sheet, as it should do, nor
will it collect the foreign substances which
Its special mission is to gather and hold.
IL the directions are carefully followed the
soup will be delightfully."- clear and spark

A simple but substantial luncheon dish
is prepared by pressing well-boiled rice
into ring mould. Turn it out when set
ON round platter. Quarter some hard
boiled eggs, and heap In the centre of the
mould, pouring over all a white sauce sea-
soned with powdered or grated cheese. If
preferred, a rich tomato sauce may be sub
stituted for the white sauce.

theatre programme book is a nice gift
for one who likes to preserve the bills of
the play. One easily made at home needs
twelve inches long and eight inches wide.
These are covered with linen, sateen, or
whatever is selected, and between them

three sides than the covers are fitted.
Four eyelet holes pierce the covers and
inside sheets, morrow ribbon to bind the
book together passing through them. A
suitable decoration Is skstched ON the CO.

letters should head the. first page. If pre-

paper, upon which the design may be

A subscriber asks for information regard
ing the care of young palms would sug
gest that soil composed of one-half COM
mon garden soil. remainder equal parts of
leaf mould, sand, and finely chopped soil,
all thoroughly mixed, be used for potting
the palm. Water only as often as the
soil in the pot appears to become some
what dry-not dust-dry, but showing
small amount of moisture left-then apply
the water literally. Keep the plant out of
direct or strong sunlight, which has ten
dency to make the foliage of a light color.
The plant should not, however, be con-
signed to dark corner, but be kept in
good light, and where there is plenty of
good fresh air and no drafts. The leaves,
especially the undersurfaces, should be
