eral water were added to the diet, and
about this time Marcella left off doing
anything but diet. There seemed to
be little time to live or walk or study,
for one thing, what with milk-drink-
ing, fruit eating and the hygienic ex-
ercises necessary in order to make ex-
istence eudurable; also a sort of col
lapse came upon her. One morning
she felt so i'll that she sent for the
landlady, instead of rising.
II think I've been taking too much
nourishment," Marcella told the has
tily summoned physician, who felt
her pulse, and looked knowingly.
Half starved" the landlady whis-
pered to the doctor as they went down.
stairs.
The doctor being no less wise in the
ways of impecunious art students, be-
lieved the landlady and prescribed,
after three days of unlimited hot
water and fasting, generous milk
diet"
Marcella, weak, weary and faint at
sight or thought of milk, fed from
the landlady's kindly dishes to vis-
it to Janet. Janet's mother, kind,
capable, sympathetic, put her to bed
again and concocted eggnogs and
other sickening reminiscent drinks
for the disgusted invalid. Janet her.
self, more than ever anxious about
her friends looks, since the violent
dyspepsia following the collapse, had
proved anything but becoming, per-
petually tagged Marcella, as soon as
the latter was able to rise, with glass
es and pitchers ofmilk and lime water.
In the end, Marcella, ready to cry
with nervousness and worry, decided
to go home.
"The autumn will be nice in the
country" she told Janet, land you'd
better come with me. Ny mother is
as dear and sweet as yours is, and
we'll have a good time until the life
classes open again."
So down to the country they went,
and Marcella's S mother, worried about
her daughter, pleased to see Janet,
pressed a glass of new milk, with
two tablespoonsful of cream and a
fresh egg beaten up in it, upon them
as soon as they arrived.
"I'm sorry you two girls don't eat
like other people, I" she said, regretful-
ly, as she left them to prepare supper,
"for I've got fried chicken with cream
gravy and stewed fresh mushrooms
and hot biscuits and peach shortcake
this evening, and I can't help think
ing such food would be better than
all milk for you.
s'But, of course, if you think the
milk diets the only thing"
And just here two hungry, sudden
ly determined voices effected a stimuli
taneous interruption.
I'VE don't, DEAR" they said deci.
dedly. "We've-we've given the
milk diet up"

PICNIC LUNcHRoNs.

There are so many toothsome dain-
ties that can be prepared for picnic
luncheons without much trouble that
picnics need not be looked upon by
housekeepers as more drudgery than
pleasure. There are numerous arti-
cles that can be bought for very small
sums that will add much to the lunch
and yet not be extravagant.
There is scarcely anything nova
days in fruit, fish, fowl, or vegetable
that cannot be made into sandwiches
which are the most essential in the
lunch. Pressed chicken or minced
ham with mayonnaise dressing make
the most appetizing sandwiches. Pea
nut butter, neuchatel or cream cheese
bought for few cents tinsel pack
age, chopped raisins and nuts, lettuce
leaves, chopped egg with mayonnaise
dressing, and celery all make excel
lent filings for sandwiches. One can
use any kind of bread. white, brown,
whole-wheat, graham or rye, or some
prefer crackers, especially with the
cheese or peanut butter filling. The
large milk crackers are nice for that
purpose, or the saltines. eff one is
making bread especially for a picnic
it is an excellent plan to bake it
in half-pound baking powder boxes
which turn out the neatest slices i'm
aginable. Butter each can very care
fully and fill half full of dough. AL
low it to rise to within two inches of
the top, butter the inside of the lid
and put it on. Do not allow them to
bake more than half an hour or they
will be too crusty."
Sweet biscuit and cinnamon buns
are excellent for satisfying the hum
ger. Be sure to wrap the bread sand
wiches in dampened napkins to keep
them fresh. Deviled eggs are always
appetizingl To prepare them, boil
as many eggs as necessary ten min
utes or more. Put them Immediately
into cold water until cool. Take off
the shells and cut either lengthwise
or crosswise. Mash the yolks and
season with pepper, salt, mustard,
and moisten with few spoonsful of
vinegar and cream. Replace in the
whites and put the halves together
by means of toothpicks. Some people
tie them with narrow ribbon.
If salads are to be taken, do not
mix the dressing with meat or vege-
tables until ready to use.
Above all things, do not forget
pickles of some kind, either sweet or
sour cucumber pickles or olives, chill
sauce or mustard pickles.
In carrying cakes it is wise to take
plain ones. However, if frosted ones
are preferred, be careful to have the
filling little sitter than ordinarily.
An easy way to carrya cake and keep
it we'll is to put it in a box. II one
cannot be found the right size, take
large cover and cut it in two, using
one piece for the top and the other
for the bottom.
Almost any kind of fruit is accep-
table at picnics-bananas, oranges,
berries, melons or jellies.
Last, but not by any means unim-
portant, come the beverages. Some
prefer cold tea or coffee or milk, while
others prefer lemonade or orangeade,
grape juice or raspberry or blackberry
shrub. For those who have small
alcohol lamps hot tea or coffee are
easily prepared.
A box of fudge is always a well
come guest at a picnic and also box
of salted peanuts to aid in digestion.

ARE RICH MEMS SONS WORTHLESS ;

From my persona. observation
and acquaintance am convinced that
ninety-fve per cent. of all rich mems
sons are practically worthless" said
Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago re-
Gently. Among this great majority
are some who observe ordinary de-
cency and even conform to the ap-
pearance of elementary virtues, but
even their good qualities are of a
negative sort. Often they receive
praise, not for good they have accom-
plished, but for evil they have re-
Trained from.
1.-The money-getting faculty, the
desirability of which may be debata-
Bile, is only one of the qualities that
do not seem to descend from father to
son. 1t was the great grief to the
late Marshall Fields life that his son
proved worthless and that he had to
leave his vast interests in the hands
of others. George M. Pullman de-
clared in his will that his two sons
were no credit to him. So he cut
them off with annuities Of $4,000.
am not familiar enough with the
Rockefeller family to be positive about
it, but I imagine that John D. Rookie
feller, Jr., is no exception to the rule.
'It is rare that any good quality
descends to the sons of the rich. Such
youths 60 to college, not to learr, but
to make display Of wealth, and to
amuse themselves. Their lives all too
often are reproach to their families
and an insult to public decency."
It is true that wealth appears to de-
stroy ambition. Whether it be law
of nature or not, from palace to shirt
sleeves in generation appears to be
more the rule than the exception.

Fen TIE UNION.
A SPRAY OF BLO0M.
"a Gift.)


Beautiful the bloom of the Spring-tid flower;
Its fragrance the incense OF sunshine hour.
Beauty and fragrance born of earth and eky
Give glow to the heart and entrance the eye.
The beautiful gift of blossom and flower,
Glistening with dew and pearl of the shower
They gladden. his heart and blend with the day.
The angels are strewing the fragrant bloom,
Long pathways of earth. dissolving its gloom
From their pure hands the benedictions fall,
Strewing with fragrance the pathways of all.
Life hath it's bloom and fragrance for each one !:
The morning Of life, the gold from the sun
In beauty and grace are singing to thee
Like mathis of birds in riverside tree.
The frail flower may seem to wither and die;
In fragrant beauty twill live in the sky;
It will greet thee again on Eternity,s morn

If A WOMAN wishes to be very
smart these days she should have all
of her manicure implements, toilet
brushes and clothes brushes mounted
in turtle ebony with absolutely no
suggestion of ornamentation. Utmost
simplicity marks all of these feminine
implements and the substitution of
this beautiful wood for silver is abso-
lutely refreshing at a time when sill
yer mountings have reached the bar
gain counter stage.
In indulging in ebony, however, a
woman should learn to know the real
article. Two things are to be looked
for, weight and the grain of the wood.
Ebony is about three times as heavy
as the ordinary white wood most often
used as substitute. There is a de-
cided grain to the wood, with superb
markings resembling the back of a
turtle, from which it gets its name.
Most beautiful is that of the medium
brown, though even with the darkest
shade the grain is always noticeable.
