IN AN OLD TRUNK.

Fancy said Constance to Rose,
(Both were so young and so fa1r)
Wearing these quaint furbelowss
Such an odd hat and such hair.
Curling in ringlets Of tan
Coyly each side of ones nose,
Fancy Aunt Primm, if you can,
Smiling demurely through those. p
What can this be? Oh, my dear.
This is Aunt Primrr1fs valentine.
Happy when thou, love, art near,
When thou art gone l repine.'
''How did she ever get this?
She with the obdurate face?
Could she have yielded a kiss
Once In q moment of grace?
Think of her. Rose, with a beaul
Did the man ever propose?
Fancy her laundering no,
Lifting that Dante-esque nose.
A'Yet there's picture she keeps;
Even Aunt Primm may have dreams
Each afternoon when she sleeps
Dear me. how odd it all seems!'

The first step in making fringed
celery is to clean the celery and set 1t
on ice to cool thoroughly. 1t ought not
to be necessary to warn the housewife
to wash thoroughly, but this is so often
done in slovenly, perfunctory way
that it is not out of place to say how
peculiarly unappetizfng it is to find dirt
or foreign substances of any sort on
anything one is about to eat. Cut the
celery into sticks about three inches
in length. then slit each end into fine
threads, not less than an eighth of an
inch thick; and about three-quarters
of an inch long. Place in ice water
until curly, then drain and serve.
