First of all, don't giggle. I doubt
whether any living creature in the
world except a young girl can giggIe:
others-httle boys, for instance-may
! think they can. but / really don't be-
lieve. as 1 said before. that anyone
but girl, and she still in her teens,
can do the giggie proper.
Most girls do ii to perfection; but
when 1 tell you that a giggle bears to
good honest laugh much the same
resemblance that monkey bears to a
man, you will readily understand that
it is a silly habit which conduces Meth
er to beauty nor to wit.
Don't dread either. to be seen blush
ing. The girl who cannot blush (if
such one eXiSts) is in a much worse
state than she who giggles, for whereas
the latter has merely contracted a habit
of which she can easily break herself,
the former positively lacks a something
in her nature which she can never hope
to possess.
Why a girl should so dislike to be
seen ''coloring up" that she positively
goes SO far as to seek advice as to
how to do away with this charming
Testimony to her sensibility, or how
older people can seriously tender that
advice is a mystery.
| Blushing is the corollary of con-
science-call it self-consciousness if you
prefer. Anyhow. 1t is the outward and
visible sign OF those inward invisible
emotions without which no heart-cer-
tainly no younger hearts perfect.
/ So just go on blushing. dear girls. as
long as ever you cant And should the
! day ever dawn when you can no longer
"hoist the red rose in your cheek" be.
very sad and sorrowfui rather than
Jubilant over the fact. and sing a
mournful little requiem In your heart
for the blush that comes no more.
Now that Summer frocks and coun-
try life are at their hight, it will take
the greatest care to keep grass stains
from ones clothes. If such stain is
soaked in alcohol, it will come out. If
this is not successful try soaking it in
Kerosene or molaSses
Javelle water is also recommended
as being very efficacious in removing
rubbing which is well-night fatal to
the delicate dress fabrics and,lace stock
ings so much worn to-day.
AS steam and heat blister and scar
! the flesh, so will anger and hatred de-
stroy the beauty of the soul 1t is BAL
ance that most of us need. We cannot
direct the influences that distress and
annoy US. but we can learn to meet
unpleasant conditions with courage and
strength and the will to combat or bear
them. To fly into passion because OF
some trivial accident to ones best
growth, to tear up the earth because
the cook leaves, to wall and whine be- "a
cause the day is clouded-such acts are
evidences of weak character
1 have made strong butter avail
able for cooking, and even for cake
making, by the following process. I
did not resort to it until thoro washing
and working did not suffice:
Put the butter into granite kettle
with as much water rs butter, or more.
for some time, say. Is minutes Cool:
remove the layer of butter which has
formed on the surface; put it into a
granite pan and heat to cvaporate any
moisture left. Pour into 9 bowl or
crock. 1t will be sweetened and ready
for cooking, the Strength having been
left in the water.
This imitation pate de foie gras is
really quite good. if you like that sort
of thing at all: Boil a lambs liver in
weak stock. letting it cool before re-
moving from the liquor in which it was
cooked. Transfer to a bowl or wooden
tray, and crush fine with potato beetle,
Season with pepper. salt, a tablespoon
full of melted butter and onion juice.
Have ready a boiled and skinned lambs
tongue. Cut into neat cubes, and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Butter
a mold or bowl, and pack in the liver
paste. interspersing the tongue cubes.
Fit plate on top and set a weight
upon the plate. Keep in cool place
for day, and turn out
Preserved beef loaf is an excellent
cold substitute for the hot dish. 1t can
be prepared when you are getting
breakfast. is one of it's chief recon-
mendations Get from your butcher
two pounds of beef. chopped for ham,
burg steaks. Mix with it three table
sp1onfuls of minced fat salt pork, half
a cup of fine bread. crumbs, a rounded
poonful each of salt and white pei
per. and a tcaspoonful of onion juice:
Work well to incorporate the ingredients
before adding the beaten yolks of two
eggs. At the last work in two table,
spoonfuls of melted butter. Press
down firmly into a creased mold with
a close top. Set in a pan of boiling
water on a steady boil for two hours.
repIenishing from the kettle should it
boil down too fast. Set the mold. with
out raising the cover, in cold water, and
let it get perfectly cold before turning
out. Garnish with water cress and slice
thin.
To can rhubarb cut it into inch
lengths without peeling. allow three
quarters of a pound of sugar to each
pound of the rhubarb and proceed as
with canned cherries.
IF one did but realize how large a
part color plays in our esthetic make
up! We should put our homes in rest
full color for the Summer season. Green
is the acknowledged shade of repose:
it suggests Nature in all her freshness.
And blue is Il cold color; suitable, there
fore. for hot days.
Red suggests warmth. and yellow is
inspiring. so we should reserve those
FOR tho dark and dreary days.
Charming Indian prints come this
season in green and white and blue and
white. They are manufactured in
lengths for window curtains. door por-
there's or couch covers and are also
made in squares, which may be used for
table covers or to cover pillows, for
room or porch.
These Indian prints have been draped
with good effect over upholstered chairs
and divans. taking the place of the
fitted linen slips.
1t is quite an economical idea, if one
has these cotton stuffs on hand, and the
effect is PROFESSIONALLY artistic.
