as pretty and attractive as it can be
made. It must, If possible, be bright and
sunny; there must be a bookcase or Shelf
supplied with a variety Of readable itersi-
ture in the way of books and the latest
magazines; there should be desk or
table supplied with writing materials
these, besides the essential furniture,
should never be forgotten.
The walls of the spare room, and in fact
all bedrooms, should be light and bright;
floral designs are usually most attractive.
There should be window curtains; double
faced creGon makes excellent drop cur
tains, and plain or dotted swiss serves
nicely for the window itself. On the floor
rugs or carpetssor mating is appropriate,
but whatever it is it must be clean and

We two make home of any place we go;
We two find JOY in any kind OF wealth
Or if the earth is clothed in bloom or
snow,
If summer days invite, or bleak winds
blow.
What matters it, If we two are togeth-
er?
we two we two, we make our world,
our weather.
We two make banquets Of the plainest
fare;
In every cup we find the thrill OF pleas
ure;
We hide with wreaths the furrowed
brow of care,
And win to smiles the set lips OF de-
spair.
For us life always moves with fitting
measures;
We two, we two, we make our joy,
our pleasure.
We two find youth renewed with every
dawn;
Each day holds something of an I'M
known glory
We waste no thought on grief or pleas
IRE gone;
Tricked out like hore, time leads us on
and on,
And thrums upon his harp new song
or story,
We two. we two, we find the paths of
glory.
We two make heaven here on this little
earth:
We do not need to wait for realms
eternal,
We know the use of tears, know sorrows
worth,
And pain for us is always loves rebirth
Our paths lead closely by the paths
supernal;
We two. we two, we live in love eter-

Strawberry Snortcakc.

Strawberry season has come and a writer
in the New York Sun gives q recipe for
making real short-cake,' which is repro
duced below for the benefit of Richmond
housekeepers:
One pint flour, one-half teaspoonful salt
one large tablespoonful butter, one heap
ing teaspoonful baking powder, half pint
sweet milk. Mix into 8 soft dough with a
SPOON and bake in well-heated oven for
about fifteen minutes. Put the dough in
a buttered round pan with straight sides
about eight inches in diameter.
Before mixing the cake have two quarts
berries hulled and, II necessary, washed,
and well drained OF water. When the
cake is done break it in two parts or lay
ers with a silver fork, butter the inner
part of the bottom of the cake and cover
it well with Strawberries, crushed a little
and we'll sugare9. Then put on the other
half, brown part up Butter this well and
cover thickly with the rest of the straw
berries and sugar them well A little
meringue put -on the top layer first will
hold the berries in place and make the
cake look better. Eat the cake while warm
with plenty Of sweet cream. IF cream Is
not to be, obtained try this sauce, which is
as oid-fashioned as this kind of cake:
Mix butter and sugar together just as for
hard sauce for pudding. Melt this and add
to it Strawberries that have been crushed
and broken into a pulp or rubbed through
a colander. Put in a sauce boat and serve
warm Last but not least, let me urge the
necessity for using the best butter for
cake and sauce and do not try to make it
too early in the season, as the berries have
no flavor, and so the cake will be a dis
ag1pon tnent instead of an absolute pleas
IRE. The quantity here given is about
enough for three or four persons.

Love and Religion the Subjects Which
Most Concern Them.

A taste for the best reading is not
cultivated in Spanish girls, says the
Boston Transcript, even where the
treasures of that great Castilian litera-
ture are accessible to them. Convent
education knows nothing of Calderon.
Love and religion are the only subjects
with which "a senorita is expected to
concern herself. Happiness is thus made
to hang en- a chance. Even where a
Spanish girl wins her crown Of wifehood
and motherhood, her ignorance and pow
erty tell heavily against the most essen
tial interest OF family life.
The Spanish girl is every whit as fasci-
mating as her musicaSs cloaked gallant
confdes to her iron-grated lattice
Indeed, these amorous serenades hardly
do her justice, blending, as she does,
French animation with Italian fervor.
In Andalusia she dances with a grace
that makes every other use of life seem
vain. And when she bargainsl There
is nothing sordid about it. Her haggling
is a social condescension that at once
puts the blacl1-eyed young salesman al

The Methodist General Conference re-
Gently brought out women delegates and
the poet of the Chicago Times-HeTald Is
inspired TO address the following lines to
the Conference:
0, she's nothing but a woman with a
rare and radiant face
And a form that's good TO gaze at but
is better to embrace:
With a laugh that's sweetest music and a
smile that's sweeter yet,
With look that makes you wonder and
remember and forget
Just an angel from above
Whom the Lord has sent to love,
Who has made you finer, nobler, from the
moment that you met.
Q. she's nothing but woman with a voice
that's low and sweet,
Making sacred all she touches, cen the
grass beneath her feet!
Merely nothing but a woman with soul
that's white and pure
And a faith in God and Jesus that is all
acknowledgements
Just a woman in whose breast
All that's loveliest and best
Has been stored up by her Maker, there
forever to endure.
o, she's nothing but a woman at whose
knee a child is low
Kneeling there to learn the lesson you and
I learned long ago
Learning from her lips the wisdom that
ennobles and that stands
Firm against the shocks of Hatred, filing
Reasons high demands
Just woman who would give
Up her life to let him live
Who is sancufed by touches OF her loving,
gentle hands.
o, she's nothing but a woman who, when
days of trouble come
When the friends of happier moments
turn their faces and are dumb
Hovers round with tender graees and
with words that soothe and cheer,
HUNS The glad old song forgotten, 10!
for many, many year
Just a. woman who car kneel
by your side and make you feel
That the Lord still kindly listens 10 the
prayers sent UP from here
O, she's nothing but woman, who, be-
lieving day by day,
Keeps the sanctuary open, frightens I'm
belief away;
Holds the roof above the pulpit, firmly,
reverently clings
To the cross while men are striving for the
grasp Of earthly things
Just q tender woman, who
To our mothers faith is true
Where she moves the pure air vibrates
from the sweep of angels wings
Q, she's nothing but woman, fit for
heaven, but unfit
For a seat where pious Bishops and where
righteous laymen sit;
Fit to bear a Bishops children, fit to
make the world complete.
Fit to be the Saviour,s mother, fit TO guide
His baby feet
But a woman still, and SO
Just little bit too slow
To be trusted in the councils where the
Cody brothers meet.

Hills cares that fratted me,

The little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday.
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play.
Among the lowing of the herds.
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The hunlning of the bees.
The foolish fears of what might pass,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mowu hay.
