Il F it is true that a rose, by any
other name would smell as sweet,
1t should also be true that what
we call an Early Rose, when we speak
of potatoes, by any other name would
taste as good. But all potatoes are
not so POLITICALLY named, as two women
discovered just after they had finished
a farmhouse luncheon.
They were out on a bicycle tour and
became hungry, as bicycle riders often
do. AS there was no inn anywhere
within easy reach, they applied at a
farmhouse for food. An old man was
working in the potato patch, and they
negotiated with him for luncheon.
He was willing to do what he could,
and treasured them by declaring that
although he was afraid there was not
much else to eat in the house, he had
plenty Of potatoes.
The luncheon was entirely satisfac-
tory, I'M after the guests had fin
ished, they spoke enthusiastically of
their repast. and praised the potatoes
In particular.

~ ATRICIA O'BRIEN'S love was OF
that kind which is a woman's
whole existence. terminating on
that day five years before when, a
stranger, Mallory had smiled into her
eyes, it had grown into a passion that
filled every waking hour of her life, a
passion that absence had but purified
and ennobled.
She had been a long time away and
had been very hungry for a sight of
Mallory's face and the strong pro-
tecting clasp Of his arm. The moment
for which she had so yearned, that
would reconpense her for all the trials
and troubles she had had to endure in
the course of the disastrous tour of the
Moonlight Maids mad arrived.

breath away?' she gasped between the
kisses he planted avidly on her lips.

ness and Struggled her head on his
broad shoulder.

Six years is a pretty long time to be
engaged, without having set the we'd

of waiting. You can hardly blame her,
can you? To be engaged for six years,
and to heal no talk of the wedding day
it is enough to make any girl want to
be free. IF I were you I would call on
her and ask her to reconsider the mat
ter. Then tell her of your plans for an
early winter wedding, and she may re-
consider her decision.

Of soft soar and water and let it boil.
If the soap is very thick, it may be

wet as possible. Then put it out on a
clean space in the open sunlight and

curtains are appliqued with inexpen-
sive medallions of coars lace, While
those which must often be sent to the
laundry and are liable to be subjected
to hard wear would better be bordered
with narrow fancy tape.
Circular skirts are frequently tucked,
and the way they are managed Is this:
A tuck is carefully measured and a
line marked off with chalk for the
under sewing line. Now run this line
and draw up the thread to make 1t the
same size as the outer sewing Inc.
Sew your tuck, n then dampen and
carefully press; the dampening process
will shrink, to a great extent, the full

the pressing will cause the tuck to lie
