conscience held court with memory prosecutor Had

1t is right to condemn sin and right to condemn the
sinner 1t right also that he should for the
thing he did and also suffer What Is not necessary by
any standard of morality is that long years afterwards
he should still be hanging his head in disgrace and udg

repentant refuses to rake the past and fling 1t In his

add without preaching If the Eternal has promised

righteous or more severe than God?

Value of Bacon as Food

The fat of bacon is easily digested,
and, fortunately, many people who
scorn to eat pork will eat bacon with
a relish, and without stopping to think
that it is pork cured and smoked by
a special method. Be sure to select
a good quality, having the lean of a
pink color and the fat in white
streaks. The medium-sized bacon is
better than the larger pieces, which
are coarse and loose in texture Have
it as cold as possible, and cut it in
thin slices evenly all the way across.
Then cut the rind away.
If the bacon is fried, do not attempt
to cook it without watching.
Boiling bacon is an extravagant way
to cook it, because all the drippings
are lost. 1t can be toasted in the
oven with bread. First cut the bacon
thin, then cut as many slices Of bread
as there are pieces of bacon, leaving
the bread nearly an inch larger all
around than each slice of bacon. Trim
off the hard crusts; set the bread in
a dripping pan, lay slice of bacon
upon each piece of bread and set in
a hot oven, where twill cook in
from two to six minutes. AS soon as
the bacon is we'll crisped, transfer
each slice TO a hot plate.
Another way is to lay the slices
in a baking tin overlapping, so that
the fat of one will come on the lean
of another. Set in the oven until the
fat is cooked through. When bacon

not left on the leaves more than six
minutes. Of course the tea should
never be boiled. 1t is an infusion.
If boiled, or If the water is left on the
leaves more than eight minutes the
tannin is extracted and it becomes
slightly bitter. Rinse the teapot with
hot water before the tea goes in
Measure out the amount desired, put
into boiling water. Cover closely with
a tea cosy and let the tea brew on the
hearth or table from two to five min
utes, then strain off into a pitcher or
bottles that will fit in the ice box
Cool thoroughly before putting into
the refrigerator. Clean wine bottles,
well corked, are convenient for hold

bottles or fruit cans When ready to

THE INDEPENDENT PATTERN

Tucked shirt waist with star shaped
yoke, 1851. To be made with or with
out the lining.
Lingerie waists have grown to be
perennial favorites and increase in pop
ularity season by season so that every
new variation is certain to be met
with hearty welcome Here is one
that is quite novel, that is exceeding
ly dressy and dainty in effect, yet
which has the great merit of closing
at the left of the front In the illus
tratiOn it is made of handkerchief
lawn with insertion and medallions of
Valcenciennes lace, the banding on col
lar and cuffs being of the material
dafltily embroidered by hand. All the
lingerie waistings are, however, ap-
propriate and Cluny lace is much used
and a closer rival of the Valenciennes,
both laundering admirably well, while
thin silks and woods also are SO made.
The lines given to the figure by the
arrangement of the trimming at the
back are the best possible while the
fact that the waist closes at the front
and can be adjusted by the wearer
herself without assistance is in itself
a commentator.
The waist consists of the lining,
which can be used or omitted as de-
sirable the centre front, side-fronts
and back with the shallow yoke. The
waist is tucked for a portion of it's
length and is joined to the yoke, which
is outlined by the medallions, and
the closing is made invisibly beneath
the strip of insertion at the left side.
The sleeves are the favorite ones of
the season that are moderately full

Life's Scars

They say the world Is round, and yet,
| often think it square;
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there.
But one great truth in life I've found,
While journeying to the west
The only folks who really wound,
Are these we love the best.
The man you thoroughly despise,
Can cause you wrath, tbs true;
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do;
But these are only passing Ills;
This rule all lives will prove;
The ranking wound that aches and
thrills,
is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest grace,
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mein, the frowning face,
Are given to our own.
We flatter those we scarcely know;
We please the fleeing guest;
And deal full many a thoughtleSs
blow,
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree;
Nor true hearts yearly bloom.
Alas for those who only see,
This cut across a tomb,
But soon or late the fact grows plain
To all through sorrows test;
The only folks who give us pain
Are those we love the best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

three washings until there is little
beauty left, and the economical wom-
an is puzzled to know what to do
with them. Ny neighbours little girl
had one pink and white, and one blue
dress that faded badly, BUT she did
not throw them away. A bucketful
of soft water was put in the wash
boiler and enough chloride of lime
added to give it a soapy feeling; too
much will rot the goods. The dresses
were then boiled in the water until
they were white, stirring every few
minutes so that every part of the
goods will be bleached alike. When
they were dry and ironed, the sleeves
were taken out, the neck cut low,
and the trimming put on the bottom
of the skirt. The result was two
If the first boiling does not remove
all the color, a second one will. Rinse
through one or two warm soft waters
after using the chloride. This Is a
good way to dispose of old dresses
after the sleeves begin TO show signs
of wear
1t often happens that the little girl
has understands enough, but she needs
dresses. My little girl had gingham
dress that had faded until it was
dingy muddy color in short time,
and as the material was good, put
in weak solution of pink diamond
dye for cotton and boiled it few
minutes. 1t came forth lovely
shade, and is now one of the pref
test dresses she has. 1t is not nee
essary to take the dress apart, and
is so easily done that ii seems strange
that anyone would allow child TO
wear a faded dress If garment is
trimmed with lace or embroidery, it
should be removed Lawns, dimities,
organizes and chambreys ray be
treated in the same way and dyed
cream color, pale blue or green, for
the diamond dyes in all these colors
produce beautiful shades that do not
fade
Dresses that the little girls have
outgrown may often be heightened
and enlarged to make them last an
other season. 1t is a good idea to
run tuck in the hem of the skirts,
and when they become too short, this
can be let out. A ruffie set on the
lower edge of the skirt is another
device that is often resorted to. When
the waist and skirt are joined in one
seam. rip the seam and put belt IN.
It is an economical plan to buy
enough material at first to MAKE new
sleeves when the old ones are out
grown or worn out.

Cooling foods and drinks are now
taking precedence of hot and heavy
yiands. Most of these will require
preliminary cooking, but with good
management and foresight this can
be attended to in the early morning
when the heat from the cook stove

steaming beverages and generous
portion is made each morning TO be

The blend of tea used for ice tea
depends upon the taste of the family.
The Ceylons are probably the most
popular, being delightfully."- pungent
and aromatic. The Orange Pekoe is
exquisite in flavor and bouquet, and
