Olle VI lHe pTellleSI RlflS Oh my ac-
quaintance 1 met a few days ago, after
three months of rural life at the coun-
try home of her family, which is con-
sidered one of the most attractive places
anywhere near Birmingham.
She was just as brown as a berry and
sunburned to a finish. All her lovely
creamywhite and pink complexion had
given way to a dark brown, ugly tan, and
she was the most unhappy creature over
1t that I have encountered in many
a day.

the first thing she said to me after we
had exchanged greetings. Don't you

"On the contrary" I replied, IT have
never seen such a picture of health.

long. I have fshed in the broad open
sunlight; 1 have ridden horseback miles
and miles without a hat; have walked
leagues and have gone in swimming with
the sun beating down at scorching
temperature, and why shouldn't l be
sunburned?'
That's what you went away for,
isn't it?" inquired. ITO get away from
the conventionalities and do the things
that belong to the simple life? By the
way, did you hear of the lady who, not
long ago, remarked to a very clever man
that she didn't see how Wagner could
have written two things as unlike as
1.-The Simple Life" and "Parsifar'?
Elegant" replied the Sun Burnt Lady.
Don't you just love things like that?
But, let me tell you about the various
prescriptions I've had for sun burn. First
of all, our house has been filled with
kin since we got back, and the first morn
ing I appeared at table for breakfast
three or four of the ---in-laws volun-
teered information on the subject. One
being an old maid aunt, said:
"Ive heard cucumbers were the very
best thing in the world for removing sun
burn"
How very old-fashoned," I unused, but
said: "How should 1 use them?'
'Cut them in long slices and apply to
the face, keeping them on for at least "a
hours" was the ready response.
Forthwith and Immediately I sent to
the vegetable man for the aforesaid Gu
eumbers, and very shortly afterward
looked like an embryo jar of pickles,

soaking in brine, preparatory to pick

And did they do any good?' I asked.

Omelets.-Here are few ONE
let ideas and one. well-tried recipe:
First you need a small frying pan
thin enough to insure quick cook
ing. Second, no matter what your
recipe says. don't use whites and
yolks of eggs in equal proportions.
With four eggs save out one white
to use in your baking; too much
white makes an omelet hard. And,
thirdly, just a pinch of baking
powder will keep an omelet from
falling.
Plain Omelet.-Eggs, 4; butter,
l tablespoon; hot water. A table
spoons; salt and pepper. Separ-
ate yolks from whites, add hot
water to well-beaten yolks; beat
whites stiff and fold them into
mixture of yolks and water,
which they will lentirely absorb;
heat omelet pan and butter well;
pour mixture into the pan and let
1t cook slowly, tipping and turn
ing the pan that the omelet may
spread and brown evenly. When
it begins to brown underneath
place 1t within the oven to cook
the top. This is only moment
delay. Then lift the omelet from
the sides and edges of the pan
with a flexible knife, loosening
one-half, which you fold over be-
fore slipping omelet from platter.
Be sure that the platter is hot
and serve Immediately.
Always use graduated white
sugar for canning fruits.
Use hot sugar in making jellies
warm 1t in the oven, on a plat
ter, and add 1t to the juice.
Don't use a steel knife to pare
fruit. Use a silver knife.
Always stir your preserves, even
when the fire is slow.

A REAL SHERLOCK

They were going up in an ele-
vator in a large office building.
He saw her first; then she case
just a glance at him. He went up
to the top story to ascertain at
which floor she would alight; she
proceeded to get off at the sixth.
That was all they saw of each
other that day.
Jennings went home that night
wondering, bordering - does she
work in one of the offices? He
would see.
The janitor said he had seen a
large stout lady who worked on
the seventh. That was. not the
one.
He would see the cleaners. One
woman told him that tall lady
worked on the eleventh, who wore
"specks." She was "rale ugly"
That certainly was not the right
one. Another cleaner said she had
seen a short fat lady who wore a
wig, and spoke broken English.
The third stated she never saw
her at all.
So Jennings tried a new source,
reliable he presumed. The man at
the cigar stand was the real know
it-all.
Slender build, blue eyes, and
dresses very neat?" answered the
cigar stand man. "Why | know
Just the very person you have been
hunting. She's a stenographer in
the G. & M. office. q"
He did not wait for any further
tips. The trail was struck. All the
Sherlock had to do would be to go
up.
Arriving at the sixth floor Jen-
nings peeped cautiously into the
door of G.. & M. She wasn't I'M
there. That was strange. He went
next door.
"Oh, yes" said the gentlemtn in
there, II know the young lady. She

The trail was getting hotter.

no young ladies'. but the
one for whom he was anxiously
seeking was on the top floor In an

Lecturer and Writer on Domestic
Economy.
In the ordinary family the
greater part of the muscle build
ling and repairing of waste tissle
is probably furnished by meat. SO
that the present advance in prices
Iof meats-and still going-has
made the housekeeper do much
extra thinkink in planning her
meals.
/ wonder how many women
have thought of this, that IL they
knew how to buy and cook the So
called cheaper cuts of meats, 1t
would reduce the price of the more
expensive cuts? The demand for
these cuts is greater always than
the supply, as they are easier and
more quickly cooked.
We have been trying to cook at
the same rate of speed with which
automobiles run. Get a meal
quick" has been the housekeep-
er's cry. Yes, and "empty your
lpurse quick" at the same time, has
been the result.
While 1t is true the better the
piece of meat the better the result
as a general thing, it is possible
and desirable in the average fam
lily to save expense where it may
be done without serious loss.
/ wish to say right here that the
housewife is not always to blame
for buying the higher priced meats
Of t. m
shall / do? My husband will not
eat stews of any kind, or made
over or chopped meat Dishes"
Wishing to please her husband,
she can only buy chops. steaks and
roasts, which, after buying these.
leaves only small portion of her
allowance for other necessities.
With wise buying and careful
cooking it is possible to change
the husbands taste. Perhaps IL
stews were more tasty they would
like them.
At any rate, the one who does
the marketing must have some in
ltelligent knowledge of how to &c
to market and buy meat which is
not inferior in quality but cheaper
in price. This practical knowledge
of marketing on the part of the
housewife affects to a marked de
gree both the comfort and expense
book of the family. Intelligence
and skill in buying are only Sc
cured by careful practice, and the
purchaser must not be afraid to
ask questions or show her ignor-
Iance when necessary. Most men
in the markets will be found cour-
lteous and helpful If you will only
let your wants be known. II your
meals are planned ahead-and
they should be-more than a sin
gle days orders may be purchased
ahead. This saves time and en-
ergy.
I. Know How to Cook.
With the buying you must know
how to coog these cuts. This would
means SO much in the very poor
families, If they could be taught
how to get the most meat value

That the nation is ABOUT 10

prosperity" is the prediction of
some of our political prophets.
1t may be doubted whether
the nation al large mas ever
seen such a measure of excessive
prosperity as could fairly be
called debauch.
In the years preceding 1907
times were fairly prosperous
work was plenty and wages were
good, but prices were so high'that
working people were by no means
surfeited with luxury. For the
great masses of the people,
through all this period, frugality
and self-denial were the neces-
sary virtues of every day.

among them there was often less
forethought and more reckless
ness of expenditure than was good

place last Wednesday evening at 8

of decoration. The result brought
Explanations of delight to all who
visited the scene. The FREEDOM
mating colors in the hall were
green and red, in the dining room
pink and green, and in the parlof
white and green. The bride was
given away by her father. She
was gowned in white liberty silk
and lace, and carried a shower
bouquet of white sweet peas. Her
sister Edith Viola acted as maid
of honor. The groom had as his
assistant Mr.. Frank d. Wilson,
late of Colorado, at present resid-

mony and congratulations a suit
able repast was partaken of, &C
leompanied by joyous .badinage,
which at the end of an hour, al
lowed the newly welded to change
to their going-away suits. The
bride wore very handsome trav-
cling dress of blush gray, heavily
trimmed in silk and buttons.
Shortly before midnight they de-
parted, amid blessings and a
1eluge of rose leaves, for Port
