REMEMBER IN oooK1NGvEeErABIEs

That most vegetables should be put
on to cook In freshly boiling water.
That salt should. be added when they
are about two-thirds don
That lying In very cold water for an
hour or more will partially restore to
wilted vegetables quality and freshness.
That every green vegetable should
be cooked rapidly and uncovered, to
retain it's color.
That If the water Is very hard, a
tiny bit of soda added, no larger than
a pea, will make the vegetables cooked
in 1t tender and of better color. Ordi-
nary water does not require such ad-
dition.
That when soft water is used the
salt must be in from the first to pre-
vent loss of flavor and substance.
That cooking a vegetable after 1t Is
lone toughens. darlkens M detracts
from it's flavor.
That the best dressing for vegetables
at their perfection is butter, peppe
and salt-caulifiower and, perhaps, as
paragus excepted.
That older or staler vegetables are
improved by a cream or butter sauce
the basis for the latter being the re-
duced liquid left when the cooking Is
I finished.

Next to a good heart to heart talk
with some one you like, is there my
thing nicer than to receive a nice
"chatty'' letter from them?
Don't you feel foolish when you write
to some particular friend, sending a
breezy letter, containing the news you
think will prove most interesting and
that friend does not reply?
There are thousands and thousands OF
people who treat letters just in this
fashion, never stopping to think what
a breach of good breeding It is. 1t not
only shows ones lack of manners, but
1t is a direct insult to the friend who
has been kind enough to write.
1t is not always the wisest thing TO
write and inquire why o person has
not written, for sometimes, for reasons
best known to ourselves, we mean the
unanswered letter to express what we
cannot put into words. So, when we
care for the friendship Of our cores
pendent, and wish to retain 1t, we
should not think 1t too much to ac-
knowledge the kindness shown us.
One clever girl who is quite sure OF
the good will and friendship of another
girl, who is just a wee bit remiss In
her duties as regards her correspond
ence made a clever postcard with the
following verse which she sent to her
friend with the desired effect:
"If a body writes a body,
And gets no reply;
Should a body write a body
And ask the reason why?"
The delinquent girl wrote at once and
she declares hat the thought of h
message has kept her from committing
the same offense many, many times, so
other girls who have reason to find
fault with their friends might apply
this little message when they wish to
Jog the memory of some careless one.
The man who is looking for a wife
usually has an ideal, and while some
observing people say that men usually
pick out just the opposite from their
IDEAL, there are still certain types Of
the serious-minded man
dislikes.
He does not like a self-opinionated
girl. Not that he objects to opinions
exactly, but the woman he marries
must at least be willing to acknowledge
her error when it is shown her.
He does not like the girl who is the
least bit rapid in her speech or manner
He NAV talk to her, even flirt with her,
but she is not the sort OF girl he Will
marry, for in his heart he disiikes her.
He abhors an untidy girl. The girl
whose buttons are forever coming OFT,
whose hair is always untidy and who
habitually wears a half-f1nished air
never finds favor with him. He cares
little If a girls gown be of last years
fashion, so that it fits perfectly. and all
the little details of the toilet, especially
boots and gloves, be above reproach.
He rarely considers the affected girl
the girl who is forever pretending to be
something she is not. Such a transpa-
rent pretense, as 1t Invariably is, de-
ceives no one, even a man in love-.

Taking the topic of The Business
Woman as the subject for a sermon,
not a great while ago, a well-known
clergyman in a nearby city outlines
some of the causes why women re-
main unmarried, and, according to his
view, the great number of spinsters is
the result of the unlimited opportuni-
ties open to women to secure their in
dependence.
"Obtaining her Independence" he
Gays, "a woman is not so anxious to
marry as she was formerly. She GER
tainly will not marry unless assured
of considerate treatment. She will not
give up a position paying her $500 to
marry a man earning $500 unless he
is kind and she is very much in love.
This bachelor girl is proud of her
ability to support herself, and refuses
ito be unequally united with any man
She insists on the omission of the word
obey in the marriage service; in fact,
/ dropped the unsightly word from
the ceremony a long time ago"
To say the least of this reverend
gentleman, who is more or less in the
public eye, he is certainly more our
teous to woman In his opinion of spin
sters than most men, who do not hesi-
tate to say, BECAUSE a woman is UNI
married. she never had an opportunity.
Now, l doubt If there is a woman OF
manageable age in his country who
at some time or another has not had
an opportunity to marry. But who
will blame a woman IL she chooses to
remain single rather than marry a
man she does not consider her equal2
/ once heard a girl say when asked
why she did not marry, THE one I
want hasn't asked me, but those who
do want me his satanic majesty
wouldn't have"

LAVENDER LINEN.

Lavender linen when combined with
white linen and lace is very becoming to
those who can wear this delicate color. A
pretty dress OF this color was made in a
jumper suit with oil edges piped with
white linen. The front n back part of
the waist, instead Of being closed with
straps running from sid to side, was
fastened together with plain panels, the
front one being pointed at the bust line
and buttoned to the Jumper straps with
three white pearl buttons on each. side.
The back was Of a similar design. This
was worn over a white guimpe, the full,
short lace sleeves being capped with
white piped Chinese sleeves. The skirt was
nine-gored. with no trimming.

FOR LAUNDRY.

Here are a few good rules for sending
inen to the laundry. All articles should
he llgibly marked with full name in either
cotton or ink. Mark plainly where the
letters Will show when the piece is folded,
or freshly ironed clothes will be tumbled
in the search for the distinguishing sign.
Look in pockets carefully before sending
clothes off. Turn socks and stockings In
side out. For the sake of common human
ity be sure that no pins remain anywhere.
Use rustproof hooks and eyes. Mend
clothes before sending or they Will come
back In much worse condition. Tie hand
kerchiefs in a bundle by themselves. Take
eff all buckles and detachable buttons and
even any very valuable buttons already
sewed on.

one Girl,s View.

Call me an old maid if you like"
said a girl with very pronounced views
on marriage, "but since 1t means my
liberty and independence, 1 won't OBJ
ject. I go and come as l please, and
no one ever asks me where ! q been
or who I was with. / carry a latch key,
and no one disputes my right to DO so
/ do as l wish with my money because
I earn it. and 1 do not have to ac-
count to anyone for the way I use it.
In fact. I see very few married women
whom I envy"
To be sure this is only one girls way
Of looking at the situation, and should
not be considered the general opinion
Of the ~present-day business woman.
There are women In the world Of COM
merce who. If the truth were known.
are not there from choice, but, rather
from the force of circumstances, which
compels them to earn their own liveli-
hood.
Some one asks, (which will make the
better wife, the girl who remains at
home INT has become a trained house,
keeper, or the woman who earns her
living in the world of commerce. in the
Office or at the loonre"
/ don't believe Industrial training will
detract from a >womau's housekeeping
qualities; on the contrary. 1t should
make her a better wife, for 1t will teach
her the value of money and give her a
better insight in handling the finances
of the home. She will be able to APP
ply her business methods to domestic
economy, and will manage the home on
a paying basis because she will save
money.
"A. business career generally broadens
q woman's ideas, inc the broader out
look she has acquired, so much the
better wife and mother she will make.

NOVELTIES IN BELTS.

"For graduates you hear when you
look at some of the very handsome belts
seen this week. In most cases the belts
are of finest white silk and the buckle is
of a new n peculiar. though very
pretty, style. 1t makes O sensible gift,
and one can make a purchase which will
cost but 81, or, If. one chooses, the $40

THE BOA.

Strong efforts are being made TO popu-
larize the chiffon boas. and with more, pro-
pitious weather they may come In vogue.
At present the ostrich plume boas are
having the lead, and a good feather boa
will last much longer than one Of chiffon
which soon shows the bad effect of damp
weather. To be at Its prettiest a chiffon
boa must be new and fresh looking, for
nothing is so cheap looking as a fine boa
which has been bedraggled by rain or
dampness.

Perhaps such excuses as this, coupled
with the circumstances cited by our
reverend friend, has something to do
with the small number of marriages
in proportion to the population. With
the business woman entering the arena
of open competition, the situation tends
to reduce the wages>of the men, and
thus unit them for marriage. This is
one of the worst features of what we
cal our commercial equality, n one
OF the most noticeable results is the
great reduction in the number Of homes.
