casionally to change the style of collar
worn, and for a day to use one that is
not extreme. This relaXes and tones
muscles that may have become
cramped.
AS soon as the collar is taken off at
night, or even at noon, the throat
should be washed with warm water
and soap. Then while 1t is still relaxed
from the hot application the fingers
may be dipped into cold cream and
rubbed vigorously over the flesh where
the collar top rubs, making the mo-
ton rotary. Necessarily more work
will be required on this part OF the
throat than at any other portion, save
lust under the ears. This last is a
place sometimes neglected, because it
does not show in mirror, but in point
of fact 1t is extremely conspicuous.
After finishing the cold cream appli-
cation it is we'll TO mop the throat with
cold water, to tighten the skin and
prevent flabbiness.
If a line has already appeared in the
skin a whitening cream to be substi-
tuted for the usual emolient Is made
from two ounces of glycerine, half an
ounce of rectified spirits, one and a
half drains of pure citric acid and three
drops of essence of violet. The honey
and glycerine are put into cup and
set into hot water to warm, so they
will mingle. The citric acid is dissolved
in the spirits, the honey removed from
heat, and as soon as the mixture Is

freely used on the face or hands.

Genuine Recipes for POt-POurY-i

n OT-POURRI clubs are new idea
this summer. Gardeners are al
n ways keener rivals even than
golfers or fishermen, and the amateur
se-grower, whose bushes are, per-
haps, not quite up to the standard of
local exhibition, has her work cut out
for her this month in preparing pot
pourri which will rival that of her
friends. Whether the club offers prizes
for the best concoction or not, compe-
tition could not be keener, and during
the latter half of June, when the roses
for preserving purposes were most frag-
rant, there was much tossing of sun
baked petals and mixing of spices, ac-
cording to old-fashioned recipes. Much
of the lore of sweet-pot making came
from the east. Aromatic spices con-
veyed by caravans over the desert were
brought back by our great grandfathers
when they returned from their travels,
and experiments made with pungent
oriental perfumes, the scent of which
brings out and preserves the delicate
odor of the rose leaves.
PRESERVING SPICE FOR SWEET-POT
Ground cinnamon, one teaspoonful;
ground cloves, one teaSpoonful; altar
of roses, three drops; glycerine, nine
drops; pure alcohol, one tablespoonful;
oil of lavender six drops; rosemary, six
drops; powdered orris root, two ounces
These ingredients should be sifted
together and BOTTLED in jar with a
tight-fitting lid ready for the moment
when the petals have ripened and have
reached the potting stage. Before that
time, however, every good pot-pourri

nent, should have representation in this
new school and his folklore should form
the basis upon which the American
school of composition must rest. There
are musicians, however, who claim
that America is now a cosmopolitan
nation and that consequently its ma
tional school of music-if ever such a
thing will be Northumberland be a
composite of all the schools Of music
represented by the various nationalities
comprising it's citizenship. Be that as
it may, the fact remains that every one
seriously interested in music is now
very much in favor of seeing an Amer
lean school of composition among the
future additions to the worlds work.
And in order to make such an evolu-
ton possible it is necessary to stirnu-
late the energies of American COM
posers (meaning composers residing in
America permanently and these ener-
gies can only be effectively stimulated
by creating opportunities for their en-
ployment
And herein we find the greatest trait
of this rapidly growing movement of
the. American Music society, which has
expanded and widened from a rather
discouraging beginning in a little viii
lage near Boston to a national organ
ization that embraces the territory from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Surely Mr.
Farwell has every reason to feel proud
of his work.

QUICKLY MADE POT-POURRI
Among the many forms of pot-pourri
which are being revived this season,
there are those which are made of an
omnium gatherum of sweet smelling
herbs and flowers. A famous old recipe
is that in which bay salt is used as a
preservative. The ingredients, old
fashioned as they are, are to be found
in most gardens today, those which are
not yet in flower being, of course, added
later on.
Three handfuls of orange flowers
Three handfuls of clove-gilly flowers
Three handfuls of damask rose leaves.
One handful of knotted marjoram.
One handful of lemon thyme.
One handful of rosemary.
One handful of myrtle.
One handful of lavender.
Half a handful of mint.
The rind of lemon.
Six bay leaves.
A quarter of an ounce of cloves.
AS many as possible of these herbs
and flowers are first chopped finely all
together and thoroughly mixed, and
then spread in layers in JAR with a
handful of bay salt between each.
A shelf in the green house should be
set aside as a garden stillroom. A
couple of large trays to hold the leaves
is all which is required in the form of
plant" the fresh picked leaves being
sprinkled with salt and gradually
shifted backwards until at the end Of
the week they are moved on to the
second tray, and then ported, an old
ginger jar answering the purpose ad-

SAND MENoFcUppLEpowN1owr

Cudd1edowntown is near Cradlevine,
Where the sand men pitch their tents;
In Drowsyland,
You understand,
In the State of Innocence;
IT'S right by the OF the River Of Life
Which the grandma storks watch over
While honey-bug bees,
Meath funny-big trees,
Groom lullabys in sweet clover.
IT'S a wondrous village. this CuddIedowntown,
For its people all sleepers;
And never a one,
From dark till dawn
Has ever a use for peppers
They harness gold butterflies to sunbeams-
Play horse with them. a-screaming,
While never a mite,
Throughout the night,
Fer dreams that he's a-dreamlng.
In Cuddledowntown there are choo-choo cars
In all of the beautiful streets;
And round, bald heads,
And curly heads,
Are the engineers one meets;
From Piggybacktown to Pattycakeville
The cars run, Kissing, screening,
While wonderful toys,
For girls and boys,
Can always be had by reaching
o, Cuddledowntown is village Of dreams
Where little tired legs find rest;
IT'S in Gods hand
IT'S Holy Land
Not far from mothers breast,
And many weary, grown-up man,
With sad soul, heavy aching,
Could he lie down
In this sweet town.
Might keep. his heart from breaking.

still better if mixed with cream cheese.
SALADS.
Egg and Sardine Salad.-Slice celery
and the whites of four hard boiled eggs.
Mash the yolks of the eggs, four sar-
dimes. salt and pepper together; stir
in cream enough to. make thick, thin
with vinegar. Mix with celery and
white of egg, French dressing and pour
the cream dressing over this
Apple Salad in Shells.-Cut six apples
and two heads of celery In small cubes,
moisten with mayonnaise dressing. An
attractive way of serving this salad Is
to remove the tops from the red or
green apples; scoop out the inside pulp
Fill the shells with the salad, replace
tops and serve on lettuce leaves. In
place of covers the tops of salad may
be garnished with mayonnaise and pi-
mentos cut in fancy shapes.
Apple and Onion Salad.-Three mild
acid apples one onion, lettuce and
French dressing are used to make this
odorous but good salad. Slice the Ber-
muda onion and apples. Arrange In
nests OF lettuce leaves and season with
the French dressing.
Tomatoes and Nuts.-Pare and form
a cup of the tomatoes. Chill and fill
the cavities with broken nuts and eel
cry cut III Sildil piN1N" e'hN' ''t'-N ''N'
dressing. Serve in lettuce leaves or
cress.
Pecans or English walnuts are the
nuts used for this salad.
Beverages, Iced Tea.-This should be
made good strength, preferably Of the
Ceylon or India blends. Place in a
pitcher to cool, and slice orange or lem
ons into it. Sweeten to taste.
Orangeade.-This may be made OF
the sweet California oranges that are
frequently sold for Is cents dozen
and the juice is sweet. Squeeze the
Juice with a fruit squeezer into a
pitcher Mix with a very little sugar
and water, and cut a few slices of a
blood orange in the mixture,
Buttermilk is also good beverage to
take on these picnics and will keep
fairly we'll If put in air-tight bottles.
Iced coffee is made the same as the
tea without adding the orange or lem
ons, and may be preferred by some.
Pickles. cake, bread in quantities
should fill the baskets, with bananas
for the children to eat between meals
Sliced tongue and cold ham, well
boiled, make the best meats, If any are
carried outside of the sandwiches.
Spread an old table cloth on the
ground; get down on your knees to eat
the same as children and see how
much better it tastes than if you sat at
table.

The Nasturtium Sandwich.-In the
preparation both the blossoms and
leaves are used after they have been
soaked in ice water a half hour before
using. Butter the bread lightly and
then lay on the lower side of each
matched piece a medium sized naStur-
tum leaf and some of the petals
Sprinkle lightly with salt or else put
Just a suspicion of mayonnaise upon
them. Ii the latter is used 1t must be
just a suggestion, for there must be
nothing to rob the sandwich of that
aromatic flavor of the nasturtum.
Salmon and Capers Sandwich-One-
half pound of salmon. one cupful of
mayonnase dressing, two tablespoon
fuls chopped capers, bread and butter,
Free the salmon from the skin and
bones chop, add the capers and moist
en- with mayonnaise dressing. Heat
well and spread between thin slices OF
bread and butter.
Another way of making these sand
witches is to procure a can of the best
salmon; chop two or three large Gu
cumber pickles and mix the salmon
with lump of butter about the size
of a walnut. This forms a sort of
paste and may be spread on the thin
slices of bread. The pickle removes
the oily flavor of the salmon.
Medley Sandwich.-If you have any
left over ham and a few sardines mix
them together, chopped well, and with
this chop a hard boiled egg, mix with
a bit of mayonnaise dressing or but
ter, until it makes a pasty mess which
can be spread on bread. 1t is better
than 1t sounds.
Marmalade Sandwich.-Entire wheat
bread is spread with butter and orange
marmalade. Remove the crusts and

OH TICKLE LOVE
Ie drew her tightly to his, breast

He drew her tightly to his, breast
And whispered words of burning love.
''Ah, with you by my side." he said,
Il would defy the gods above
'If we were placed by Fate's cruel hand
Far out upon a desert sere,
l would be happy Geraldine
TIC know, sweetheart, that you were near.
Id drink the love. oh, darling one.
That gushes from your lustrous eyes,
And eat the kisses from your lips,
In place Of meat and bread. and pies"

Cast DER their heads a mystic trance
And woke them from their dream OF bliss
Upon sahara's hot expanse.
And did he starve to death? you ask
What a very foolish question:
He tried The diet e prescribed,
And died-ot ndis uon.

THE LEGEND OF THE Deere

(After r. K.)
This is the sorrowful story,
Told on the evening breeze,
When the milionaires sit together,
Comparing their LII. DIS.
I'VE worked from our early boyhood,
And we made our industries hum
TIL at last we found time for breathing
And could watch the dollars come
Then came the college masters
And captured us, one AMI all,
Though most of us spoke not Latin,
And our knowledge of grammar was small
They put in mother hubbards
And caps like mortar boards too
And said: Now watch us, rich men,
And see what we do TO you.
And they led us in groups and singly,
And led us by twos and threes,
And handed us. willynilly,
A collection OF high degrees.
"And now we have titles in plenty
Attached to each plain old name,
And to pay we must tap the check book,
For that is the rule of the game"
This is the horrible story,
Told on the evening breeze.
When the millonaires sit together
Comparing their LII. DIS.

A LONGING

OFTEN 1 wish that / might be

Among my fathers fields, ah, me!
And he and l together!
Below the mountains, fair and dim
My fathers hills are spreading
I'd rather tread the sward with him
Than dance at any wedding.
o, we'll, your skylark cleaves the blue,
To bid the sun good morrow!
He's not the bonny song l knew
Above an Irish furrow.
o, green and fresh your English sod,
With daisies sprinkled over
But greener far were the fields l trod
That foamed with Irish clover.
And Often often I'm longing still,
In this all golden weather,
For my fathers face by an Irish hill.
