Said a young and tactless husband
To his inexperienced wife:
IF you should give up leading
Such fashionable life,
And devote more time to cooking
How to mix and when to bake
Then perhaps you might make pastry
Such as mother used to make.
And the wife, resenting, answered,
Cor the worm will turn. you know:
'If you would give up horses
And score of clubs or so.
To devote more time to business
When to buy and what to stake
Then perhaps you might make money
Such as father used to make.

FOR A DELICIOUS APPLE SALAD
"A slightly tart apple should be used,
pare, slice a half-dozen and arrange
in layers in a glass dish, sprinkling
each layer with powdered sugar and
a very little cinnamon. Make a dress
ing of six tablespoonful of sherry,
four of sugar and one of Maraschino.
Stir the dressing until the sugar is
dissolved, then pour over the apples
and set the dish in the ice-box for
half an hour before serving. This is
delicious.
A unique manner of quenching thirst
is recommended by a physician. He
states that thirst and perspiration Is
dim .nished by keeping a small round
pebble in the mouth. He has gone as
long as eight and one-half hours in a
broiling sun with nothing but dry bis
cults and cheese for lunch. and at the
end of that time was not suffering
from thirst.
There is nothing better for cut than
powdered rosin. Pound it until fine,
and put it in an empty, clean pepper
box villa perforated top, so it can be
easily sifted out on the cut, and put
soft cloth around the injured mem
Der, and wet it with cold water once
in a while. 1t will prevent infiam-
nation and soreness.
A new style of writing paper in
troduced this season is called the
lockwood. 1t originated from the
merits and popularity of lockwood
pottery. which it resembles, and APP
pears in four distinct colors In blue,
soft blues and grays mingle. while the
sea green shows suggestions of opal
tones. Exquisite olives mark the Ii
ger Eye another shade, while the pearly
tones are termed Iris. A popularity
of this paper is that no two sheets
are alike: although harmonizing per-
fectly. the color waves are not iden-'
tical. MARTHA.
