WOMEN WHO REST.
They Can Always Find Time to Make
Others Happy.

The woman that really wants her
husband to be happy and doesn't find
delight in saving her blacklist, most
doleful side for him rests tafore it is
time for him to come home she doesn't
WORK hard until she hears his step,
and, then, worried and nervous, run to
meet him with a complaint upon her
lips. She stops work before 1t is time
for him to come, bathes her face, combs
her hair. slips into comfortable, clean
dress and either lies down or sits do
ing nothing until he comes.
The woman who wants to look fresh
and be charming Mt the evening party
does the same thing, just to get ready
for 1t. She plans her work so that she
need not jump from the dish pan into
q pretty dress. She has her clothes
ready and she takes nap during the
late afternoon. This Is to make her
smile ready and her eyes bright.
Both the husband and the hostess
will be appreciatiye OF the woman who
greets them with that gentle serenity
which comes only from one who is rest
ed Too many women fail to make
others happy simply because they are
always tired.-Kansas City World.

Bread and Butter Rolls.

There is a knack about preparing the
dainty bread and butter rolls for lunch
con or the 3 o'clock tea that not every
housekeeper possesses. To roll easily
the bread must not be more than a
day old, while the lonves should not be
more than five or six inches In diane
ter. Cut the slices very thin with a
sharp knife, buttering each time before
sliclng. Trim off the crust and roll
lightly, pressing just enough to have
the folds adhere. If preferred, the
bread can be spread with fine paste
OF shrimp, anchovy, chicken, cream
cheese, salad or fig before rolling. For
childrcn's parties or occasions when
frills seem desirable these little rolls
nre tied with b"be ribbon, but as rib
bon adds nothing to their tOothsome-
nese it is best dispersed with under
ordinary circumstances.
