cite. his obsence and her thoughts of
him aroused.
Then came the time in which she
was to experience the gradual dawn
ing of love in her heart. Wonderful
news came to Croombe-so wonderful
that it was difficult to realize it. The
silver mine was to turn out an FL
Dorado at last. A clever and enter
prising Englishman had examined it,
and believed that it would pay to
work it, and his representation turned
out to be true. Slowly, but surely, the
mine recovered itself; once more the
shares were at premium; once more
the hapless shareholders began to
look for a golden future-and this time
the dream was not vain.
"They tell me-" said Wyndham
Care to the earl, ''that the mine will
shortly pay twenty per cent, and will
most probably pay more. wish my
money were invested in it.
Lord Care listened with a shudder.
What had happened to that money be
fore, and where was the man who had
SdNSu nAIu
But it was to Lady Ianthe that
Wyndham spoke most openly.
It is like a romance" he said
"first to lose a fortune and then to re-
gain it. Why, Ianthe, you will be one
of the wealthiest women in England!
What a pity it is that you hampered
yourself with that good tradesman of
yours! You might have been a
duchess"
Perhaps prefer him to a duke, -
she rejoined angrily.
Nonsense! Of course, now the
thing is done, and there is no help for
it, you are wise in making the best
of it; but it is really great pity that
you were sacrificed to him."
She turned away, too indignant for
words. How many times had she
thought the same thing? Now to hear
it told abruptly in words was torture.
She went away and stood by the old
sun-diaI in the garden, thinking of him
Poor fellow? All his sacrifices had
been in vain He would hear now
that even the fortune he had lavished
upon them was given for nothing-it
was not wanted.
Lady Ianthe thought long and
mournfully of him; and then she
started on finding her face wet with
tears. She, one of the proudest wo-
men in England, to weep for the
plebeian husband whose love she had
SO completely scorned! Could it be
possible? She laid her face on the
messy sun-dial.
If she could only see him-only see
his face, with his passionate eyes
looking into her own-only hear the
voice that had Away been so low and
gentle for her! If she might but see
him again, and tell him that his dream
had come true-that she was ready to
clasp her arms around his neck and
say tht she loved him at last!
Did sc love him? Her face flushed,
her heart beat, her hands frightened
their clasp. Love him. Yes! For
he had the soul of a prince, this lowly-
born yet noble husband of hers. And
she loved him at last with all her
heart. Should she write and tell
him so? All, no! That was a diff
ferent matter.

Housekeepers do not realize how
many delightful vinegars can be easily
made of simple materials readily OBJ
tanned Many of them are found in
frst-cIass groceries; but the price de-
tiers many from purchasing a variety
The cost is very little when they are
made at home and when once you
have become accustomed to their use
YOU will deem them indispensable and
wonder how you managed without
them. Their flavor gives delightful
variation to many dishes, especially
the salad dressing.
Chill vinegar-Take fifty small red
chilli peppers, bruise them slightly or
cut them into small pieces and COW
ering with good, strong vinegar.
Parsley vinegar-Gather fresh pars
ley, pick off the leaves, and fill bot
tie loosely; cover with vinegar; cork
tightly and let stand three weeks:
then pour off the vinegar into clean
bottles, season to taste with salt, cay
enne, and white pepper.
Corn vinegar-This is a vinegar
many prefer to cider vinegar: use the
following proportions: To each gallon
of soft water, rain water is best. add
pint of light brown sugar or molas-
ses, if you are not particular to have
white vinegar; one pint of corn
scraped from the cob. Put all into
stone jar. Cover with cloth and set
in the sun for three weeks; by this
time you will have a good vinegar.
Mint vinegar-This, if acceptable, is
nice to use as a condiment to serve
with roast mutton when fresh mint is
out of season. 1t may also be added
to a drawn butter sauce served with
mutton and small quantity improves
canned peas or string beans. Loosely
fill bottle with fresh, tender leaves of
mint, cover with good vinegar, cork
tightly and let stand for three weeks.
Then pour off into clean bottles, keep
tightly corked.
Onion vinegar-Skin and chop
rather fine three large white onions.
mix with them two level tablespoon
fuls graduated sugar and one of salt.
Put them in a china dish and stand
in a slow oven for three hours, then
turn into glass jar or wide-mouthed
bottle, fill with strong vinegar; cover
or cork tightly and let stand two or
three weeks; shaking several times
each day. Strain, bottle and cork
tightly.
Lemon vinegar-This is a substitute
for lemon juice; CRATE the yellow rind
from five lemons, being careful not to
get any Of the pith. Squeeze the juice
of three lemons over the grated rind,
scrape out the pulp, but discard seeds
and white, bitter skin. Cover the rind,
juice, and pulp with quart of good
cider vinegar; cork tightly and let
stand two weeks; then strain and
bottle
Spiced vinegar-One ounce each of !
ground mustard. ginger, white pepper, |
mace, and dried lemon peel, quarter of |
an ounce each Of cloves, allspice, and
cinnamon, and an ounce of celery, |
salt. and quarter of teaspoonfu1 of

The Archduchess Maria Annuziata

Chine.e women Members.

In nearly every city in China women
are to be found sitting in the streets
busily plying their trade as members OF
clothing. Their knowledge of needle
craft is generally limited to what is
called running" and therefore they
are not much patronized by English or
American travellers They are, how
ever. never without patrons among Chi
nese tradesmen, who are often natives
of other districts and have no one else
in the city TO mend a rent for them,
their wives and children being left at
home. For this class of customers the
skill of the itinerant sewing woman is
sufficient and TO them it is a great con-
venience to have the necessary repairs
rapidly made while they stand by and
wait.
