Brief Suggestions.

Pastry should be cooled off in a
warm room; taking it suddenly from
the oven to a cold larder will make
it heavy.
A too large cork will often fit a
bottle quite well after it has been
soaked in boiling water for a few min
utes.
TO shell shrimps easily, put them in
colander and pour boiling water over
them. Shell them as soon as possible
after they have drained.
Turpentine will cleanse zinc and
make 1t look like new. Wash the zinc
first In hot soda water and then rub
with flannel dipped in turpentine.
A large manila envelope, pasted in
the inside of the cover at the back
of cook book, is very handy re-
ceptacle for clippings and copies of
recipes which one intends to try at
once.
The daily supply Of food may be kept
in the cellar If wire safe is used,
but this Is doubtful wisdom unless the
housekeeper is prepared to inspect the
safe every day to see that no scraps
are left lying around.
Never leave empty wooden tubs and
pals standing in the sun. or. in a hot
part Of the scullery. In very hot wealth
er they should be left full of clean wa
ter to prevent the wood shrinking and
cracking. At other times keep them
in cool. rather damp place.
When knives have steel blades they
should be cleaned and polished after
each using. This is best accomplished
If small basket is kept near at hand
which contains potato. a bathbrick
and polishing cloth. Scrape a little
OF the brick upon board. dip the cut
end Of the potato into 1t, and use this
to rub the blade of the knife free of
all stains. Then polish with the cloth
and wash the handle in warm but not
hot water.

Liver and Bacon.

Bacon and calves liver is common
dish but especially attractive to men
who enjoy rich food. Calves liver is
much more delicate than beef or even
lamb. Slice it fine and lay it in cold
water for at least ten minutes. This
draws out the blood and makes the
liver better food. Fry dozen pieces
of bacon cut in waferlike like slices
to every quarter of pound of calves
liver. Let the bacon be ice-cold and
crisp it quickly on a very hot frying
pan until it forms, in a few minutes,
into little brown rolls. Take up the
bacon and fry the calves liver, which
has been dried on clean cloth, in the
bacon fat for ten minutes, or until it is
well Drowned on both sides. Dish it
and decorate it with the crisp rolls of
bacon. There should be no grease
about this dish. and there will not be
if it is properly cooked.

CHAPTER II.

In a very elegant drawing room, with
French windows to the ground, leading
on to velvet sward gemmed with flow
ers, sat Mrs. Champion and her daughter.
The mother was employed on an elabOr-
ate piece of woodwork, while Miss Cham
pion half reclined upon her silken couch,
reading. She looked up from it to answer
her mothers interrogatory.
"DO you think Mr.. Hastings will be
here this afternoon, Flora?"
Il cannot tell, mamma; Reginald has
gone over to the Court to lunch, and look
at some new horses. and he said he
should probably bring Mr.. Hastings back
to dinner"
He is very handsome" remarked Mrs.
Champion. "Indisputably the best match
in the county,"
Except Evelyn Vane," remarked
Flora.
Evelyn Vane?" echoed her mother
Evelyn Vane has nothing until his faith
er dies; and even when he becomes Lord
Lancing, his income will not be much
more than half that of Mr.. Hastings"
But there is the title" said Miss
Champion; Lord Lancing cannot last
much longer. and I would rather have a
title, even if l were obliged to sacrifice
half the income
Which was not true. for Flora Cham
pion was rather in love with Enrol Hast
ings, and utterly Indifferent to the Hon
orable Evelyn Vane. She and her mother
were much attached to each other-at
least as much as was possible for two
such selfish and Indifferent natures to be
and they We're wont to indulge in mu-
tual condolences. At this moment Regi-
maid Champion, the only son and brother,
entered the room.
Have you just returned from the
CourtT' inquired his mother.
Yes; Hastings left me at the door not
five minutes ago."
Il thought he was going to dine here"
II thought so, too; but 1 suppose he
changed his mind, for when he arrived
here, and l pressed him to CONT in, he
declared he had a previous engagement.
1t was all lie. though, l could see; but
think l know what the counter attraction
was"
Indeed" said Flora, disdainfully, land
may we inquire the result of your pene-
tration?"
1T is nothing that will please you, Flo,
1 can tell YOU"
Don't be provoking. Reginaldw utter
ed his mother, sLsrply; 'tell US at once
what you mean"

When Betty bakes the buckwheat cake
My bosom swells with pride;
| then forget my life's mistakes
And smile, we'll satisfied.
The chilling wind outside the pane
To discord vainly wakes;
1t cannot move me to complain
When Betty bakes the cakes.
Now. some there be whose broidering
Is ladylike and fine;
And some most daintily do sing
Or write in phrases fine.
But, though my admiration stirs,
Ny loyalty ne'er shakes,
Their cleverness is naught to hers
When Betty bakes the cakes.
The syrup in a golden line
Sets forth to trace her name;
The coffee steam. an incense fine,
Arises to her fame.
And though the sunshine for a while
The wintry morn fOrsakes,
| ask no radiance save her smile
When Betty bakes the cakes.

be some relief to the ~'onotony OF her
life, only to be able now and then to gaze
ON handsome face like his.
One evening Winifred went out for
stroll in the woods with her little Scotch
terrier as her only companion, and, choos-
ing a picturesque spot, sat down to rest
and to dream of the many women no fair
er than she, who had become famous.
Her speculations were suddenly cut
short by zap from her terrier, and
turning sharply round, she beheld her
little companion rolling over and over
down the bank under the sudden and
unprovoked assault of a huge mastiff.
She uttered a little cry of fright, and
sprang to the rescue, when she heard
crashing of the branches at her side,
a sharp, ITO heel Rollo!" from mans
voice. A sudden recognition, hasty
apology, and he stood looking at her, hat
in hand, with the same expression of ad-
miration in his eyes that she had seen
there before. There was a pause, dur
ing which the startled Winifred blushed,
and felt painfully confused.
Il fear my dog has alarmed you" said
the stranger. at last; The is rather wont
to he aggressive to his species, particular
" in this wood, of which he is accus-
toned to consider himself sole monarch
Then fear we are trespassers,' Wini-
fred found courage to answer; but we
have always been allowed to walk here,
and"
Il shall indeed be sorry if our rude
ness and inhospitality should drive you
away laughed the stranger. Il beg
you will always, both for yourself and
friends, consider you are entitled to a
free right of way over any and every
part of my possessions"
Winifred thanked him and would have
turned away, but he fingered; and there
was such a charm to her in the presence
of this refined, aristocratic looking man.,
that she felt no inclination to break rude
ly away from him.
You are Mr.. Hastings, them" she said,
interrogatively.
Yes" he replied. Il have come back
at last to enjoy the delights of home af-
ter my long absence"
at must be very pleasant to see so
much of the outer world" Winifred said
timidly; ''it must give one such broad
views of things and people, and stamp
out ones petty, intolerant thoughts and
narrow prejudices."
Mr.. Hastings was surprised by this
last remark of his companions, but he
was far too well bred to allow his
thoughts to appear. He remarked quietly:
"You seem to have considered these
things more than young ladies are apt
to do"
II must be going" she uttered, hastily;
sit is getting late"
He turned to accompany her, but she
bowed with an air of decision, saying:
my path leads away from Hazel
Court"
II hope" he said, lingering a moment,
"that my presence tonight will not tend
to brighten you away from these woods
for the future. May | rely on your max
ing use of them as usual?"
She thanked him again, and, bowling,
turned away. He stood, hat in hand, be-
fore her as he might have done to a
princess; and as she went on her way
home, he gazed after her slight, graceful
form with a look of tender admiration
such as might have beftted a man who
watched the woman he loved.
