THE MAN WHO HEsITATEs.

He might have been something; he's
plenty of brains,
And to labor he isn't averse,
Yet, I'm sorry to say that the fact still
He has never much coin in his purse.
He always considered just what he would
do
And would hope something better ia
find.
But the more that he thought more UNI
certain he grew.
And he never could make up his mind.
Quite often he might have got on the
f1oodtide
And have ridden to power and wealth.
But he never felt able at once to decide
That the damp wouldn't injure his
health.
If fortune would knock at his door he
would wait;
To her. becks and her smiles he was
blind;
If he opened or followed twas always too
late,
For he never could make up his mind.
So he's plugging along and he's always in
doubt
Whether this plan or that is the thing;
But the chances that come never hnger
Being birds that are strong on the
wing.
He's provided with salt for each fugi-

And to drop it he's almost inclined,
But it's certain and sure that he always

What shall we server" was the first
question asked when the matter of
organization was discussed.
"Oh, light refreshments" answered
all the new members. at once. Now
every woman knows that there is not
phrase in the English language more
elastic than light refreshments. 1t
may mean anything from cup of
tea, with a slice of lemon, to a three
course luncheon that begins with
pate and ends with ice cream.
The first woman who entertained
strained little even so elastic a term.
The next woman went her one bet

third, the fourth, the fifth and the
sixth surpassed each other in turn.
There were twelve members in the
club. The five who had not yet enter
tanned began to worry.
1t was incumbent on them to sur
pass the efforts of the other hostesses,
but the extravaganza appalled, them.

The other members insisted that they
thought 1t was, too. Il think a cup
of tea and some waters are all that
are necessary" concluded the presl-
dent.
"a sensible idea" murmured the
members, though no enthusiasm was
displayed. AT its next regular meet
ing, when the time came for the serv-
ing of the refreshments, the hostess
solemnly led the way to the dining
room. On the table was the nicely ap.
pointed tea service and a plate of
waters, nothing more. Conversation
languished while the guests remained
in the dining room. Nor did they finger
after the last wafer had been eaten.
At the next meeting the luncheon serv-
ed by the hostess surpassed the efforts
of all the other hostesses. But no.
body murmured at the extravaganza.
Nobody suggested waters and tea.

today, when f1let de boeuf is fashion,
able course, it is far less used in this
country than ribs of beef for roasting.
The cut known here as the porterhouse
is purely an American cut. 1t is
known in Franco ard IN England as
'sthe best part of fire sirloin, and is
there used for roasting as we'll as for
steaks, though the tenderloin is re-
moved and sold by itself at high
price. In America sirloin steaks do
not begin until the hip bone is reach
ed, and include a good deal of tough
meat as as well as good deal Of ten
derloin.
The economical Frenchman would
never think of roasting larger piece
of meat for family than the small
end of the sirIoin. The ribs of beef
family. A roast cut from the small end
of the porterhouse next to the ribs is
the only roast which a small family
can buy economically, as 1t is never
wise to buy enough for recooking or
using cold. because beef is never at
it's best when it is recooked.
The smallest rib roast of roast beef
weighs as much as eight pounds, and
Is the most expensive cut in the ami
NAL (even if it costs several cents less
per pound that the porterhouse), be-
cause it contains SO large q percent
age of bone. 1t pays in dealing with
the American butcher to buy an entire
sirloin of beef and have the different
parts cut as they are in the foreign
market. ' Remove the tenderloin at
once to be cut into steaks or used as a
special piece. The meat on the other
side of the bone makes an excellent
roasting piece-equal in quality, but
with less bone than the prime ribs of
beef. This piece may also be cut into
sirloin steaks. All the meat that is left
now is "the tough end" of the porter
house. which economical housekeepers
invariably remove, when sold to them
as part of a porterhouse steak, and
utilize in various ways. When this
layer of meat is sold entire in the sir
loin, and cut the other way it does not
make a bad steak. 1t is sweet and
wholesome and makes an excellent
braising piece. AS cut in the porter
house it is practically wasted to pay
for the tidbit of tenderloin given in
the same steak, and one has to pay the
highest price for it.

Never before have the wealthy peO-

ly for their coachmen and footmen
in the way of furs. Even a moderate
ly cold day is an excuse for trotting
out mountains of fur, made into great
peaked caps, into heavy capes and

the winter has been unusually warm
has not prevented the use of furs. No
matter if it made the carriage men
uncomfortable, the furs had been pur-
