II DINNER
DECEPTION
By Kafs NJ. Cleayy
COPYRIGHT 1905, sv O. r. vasneh'a

The telegram dropped from the hand
Of Isola Ray.
"Now, what do you think OF that,
Funny she asked.
Funny. n big, tortoise she'll cat, sig
nined her sympathy by putting her pur-
ring head against the amber satin slip
per Of her young mistress. The latter
picked up the yellow slip Of paper and
read It over.
"wnl bring Edward Garden up to
dinner this evening. Carte blanche 10
all things, OF course, but do the best
you can, dear girl"
Now, Isola Ray, but lately returned
from college to make home for and
with a wealthy bachelor brother, was
ignorant OF household lore and quite
preposterously pretty. Thus suddenly
confronted by an emergency under sin.

1.-THE DnVNFR IN THE cozY DINING noon
WENT OFF DELIGHTFULLY."-.
gularly exAsperating domestic circum-
stances, the consciousness Of her own
ineflclency dismayed her.
Funny" she crumbled the yellow
slip into n ball and aimed it at the
wastebaskeD, "let US consider what
we had better do"
Funny, not at all averse to being
cuddled In lace draped, family fragant
arms, promptly lost herself In somno-
lence.
"If only Della had not gone to the
funeral Of that grandchild that expires
with periodical regularity every three
weeks!" Oblivious of the indifference
Of her auditor, Miss Ray kept muir
murlng on. "And-if Ellen Jane were
not In bed with n jumping toothache-
we might pull through, Funny. Dear,
dear! All the years 1 was learning
Latin, why could 1 not have learned
how to cook something except Judges?
Gracious! Who's that?' Funny was
promptly and peremptorily dlspos-
sessed.
Miss Ray hurried In response to the
brisk knock at the back door. "It's
new you, my dear!" cried Isola Ray.
She had flung open the door and was
gathering a little sweet faced, apple
checked countrihed woman into the
joyful embrace Of her loving young
arms. "Td be glad to see you any
time. Aunt Elvira. but Just now-well,
just now your coming SEEM provi-
dentalr'
Aunt Elvira returned cordially the
caress of the gracious arms and lips.
Now, how does that happen, hOneyY'
she asked.
She had entered the kitchen-all
shining tiles, enamel and blue and
white kitchen ware. She put her old
brown, cracked, bullying bag down by
the sink and with one dexterous twist
had Invested herself of bonnet and
coat.
"Oh, Delia-that's the cook-has gone
to one Of her periodical funerals. Her
relatives are legion, and every few
weeks one of them dies. And the 9th
er maid has tOothache. And Victor
telegraphed he was bringing his best
friend-who has not before visited this
clty-up to dinner tonight. You know
how my brother detests any cooking
except what Is done at home. And
beyond Judges or a good salad-I don't
know how to make a thingl'
Don't you worry. Just you do what
old Aunt Elviry tells you" The small
woman had hshed a fresh apron. a
pencil and the back Of an envelope out
OF her bag.
"You get the things 1 write down

Profitable Geese.

Seeing how profitable geese are and the little attention they require as com pared with other poultry. il is some what surprising there are not many more geese bred They are grazing stock, like horses and cattle. and dur ing the warm weather will feed eagerly on the succuent grasses which grow on the banks of ponds and streams, and they will seldom refuse the herbage found on the roadways. This food. with other materials picked up. will generally keep geese in good condition during the summer and carly autumn, little or no grain ration being needed When the female has laid about q doz en eggs she generally gets ready to in eubate. but should not be allowed Co do SD. as geese. like ducks are poor sit- ters and make bad mothers Put the eggs under I hen and get them matched as early as possible, for early geslinsS make the largest and finest birds.

\ Good Market Fowl.

White Indian Games. which fight no more than Plymouth Rocks or Wyan- dottes are large. welt developed birds with tremendous legs and breasts. says a Wisconsin poultryman in American AgricuIturist. These adapt them well for market purposes. They are hardy and very quick to mature As layers they have held their own with Plymouth Rocks for some years on my place For crossing purposes no breed is better.
