PRACTICAL COOKING AND SERVING.

This book carries on it's face the best
recommendations, the names Of Janet Nc
kenzie Hill and the Boston Cooking
School. One need not open the book to
feel assured of its worth. Out of this
school have come the housekeeper's best
friends and receipts that never fail. The
new book is a development along the same
line and a step in advance. The first
thing always asked of a new cook book
is, Has it new receipts and are they
good?" Yes, it has new receipts. Many
never have appeared before. and they are
decidedly good. Look at the chapters on
delicious sauces-one could eat crow with
one of-these and enjoy it! And the COM
pick meat and fish d~ishes-but the best Of it
Is that in the making many of these are
not so complex, and the wife can give her
husband at home the favorite dishes he
asks for at the club.
This cook book is, however, more than a
mere compendium of good receipts; it sets
forth in an intelligent and interesting way
the basis Of all good cooking. For the
young or perplexed housekeeper 1t is a
complete manual for selecting and serving
foods. The many helpful illustrations
should also be mentioned. especially those
OF the best kitchen utensils. Mrs. Hills

HARPER's COOK BOOK ENCYCLO-
PEDIA.

Another large cook book is Harper's. and
it is encyclopaedia. as the title suggests.
The new point in this book is the arrange
ment in dictionary style. SO as to avoid the
use OF an index. This is not always the
advantage that it might seem. For in
stance, look for chicken and you find the
cross reference See poultry look for
wafies and you find See bread" Thus.
two landings are often necessary. Then.
again one misses the tabulated lists OF in
gradients at the heads of the recipes. N
recipes have been published in Harper's
Bazaar and are assuredly good. They have
been contributed by the best cooks in the
country-that is. some of them. Other re-
cipes conn from cooks not so well known.

Dom Science
IN CITY TENTS.

Whatever Christine Terlune Herrick has
to say upon domestic topics is well worth
listening to. In her latest book, I'm City

to find, furnish and keep a small home on
slender means is h the vast majority
of people are struggling to do, and sugges-
lions from so level headed a person as Mrs.
Herrick are indeed valuable The volume
is written primarily for the New Yorker.
but a large share of her advice and sugges-
ton is applicable anywhere. OF course
there are some chapters or which each
reader will entirely disagree with the au-
thor, according to his, or more probably
her, individual needs. But all are inter-
ested to know how to cover a two-dollar
space with a one-dollar bill, and how to.

able Mr.. Foster carried "a large

also saw the big gun with its cav

in a few yards of the house, bent
upon securing Miss Fosters shoes.
II occurred 10 him that he might be
mistaken for the bully, and without
stopping 10 reason il out he faced
about and established a new worlds
record for a 200 yards dash, with a
leap over a siX-foot tight board
fence at the end of the course. But
the wedding took place, even with
out the shoes, which goes TO show
that lovers absolutely don't care
what happens TO them.

his wife. IT was their second at

parently was love that got him into
trouble. although in the light of ira
dition it is rather difficult to compre-
bend his case. In reality he PLAYED
tag with tradition, for he eloped with
his mother-in-law. The mother-in-
laws name was Mrs. Helen Hestus.
and the funny part of it is that when
George and his wife began housekeep-
ing five years ago, Mrs. Hestus made
herself so disagreeabl9that the young
people were forced to divide their time
between their own home and the
homes of neighbors. This condition
of affairs continued until a year ago.
when Sangfoss began TO tolerate the
old woman and finally cast longing
glances at her across the dinner table.
At this juncture Mrs. Sangfoss made
a big mistake. She supposed that
George and her mother were Just be-

venture a guess at the real state of
affairs until she woke up one morning

The Norton Qnd.) correspondent Of
the Chicago Inter Ocean says that bears
of all kinds, and especially tame ones,
are at a discount in that vicinity. In
fact, it is the tame sort that the peo-
pie object TO the most. Some months
ago man who was travelling about
the country with a performing bear
came here suffering from injuries re-
ceived in a fight with gang of Towdies
in South Chicago. His condition was
such that he decided TO go to Indian
apolis for treatment, and left his bear,
which he said was kind and gentle,
with Farmer Cable, to be cared for un-
til his return.
For a time Farmer Cable and his
folks thought they had a treasure in

Troubles, asserts a writer in the
lot of a great many lovers. Surely
no one would be so daring as to de-
clare that all persons, whose hearts
are not their own, are constantly
beset by vexatious incidents, yet one
needs only TO look about to learn
that love and bliss are not neces-
sariIy analogous. Some of the trou-
bles of Iovers-many of them, in fact
are only slight, but they knit the
brow and produce worry, neyerthe-
less, and that is why the world
should, as a matter of common JUS
tice, love a lover.
An incident occurring recently in
Charlotte, Tenn. goes to prove the
assertion that love is not all roses.

the bride forgot her shoes-a fool

ton, his owner, was chagrined at the
defeat Of his pet, and cast ugly glances
at the bear, which leered knowingly at
him in return.
That same night, the weather hav-
ing turned cold, the bear was housed
in the wOOdshed for shelter. About
midnight the family was aroused by a
great racket in the kitchen. and found
the bear beastly drunk and dancing a
cancan on the table. 1t had forced its
way into the cellar and tackled a keg
of hard cider. Disguised with its lapse
