This is another good substitute for

day.
Make an aspic jelly by using any
rich stock, well seasoned while boil

a box of gelatine. Add lemon juice,
and pour half of the jelly-while soft

noses as to number-poached in boil
ing water which is rapidly stirred be-
fore the eggs are dropped in. This
will preserve the shape of the egg.
After the first layer of aspic is stiff,
add the eggs and then pour over them
the rest of the jelly which has been
kept warm and liquid.
The layers should be each an inch

Serve in squares with an egg in the
center of each. On lettuce leaves,
with a garnish of pickle this is a de-

the very near future--for the next
legislature does not meet until Janu-
airy of 1911. There are others who
point to the experience of South Da-
kota, which for 20 years fought the
evils of lax divorce laws before a re-
peal was secured, and say that the
moralists of Nevada have an equally
stubborn task before them. But Ne
vada is cleaning house. In the last
session of the legislature, after gam
ing being permitted for 40 years with
cognizance of law, a bill abolishing
gambling was passed-the act to take
effect In November of 1910-and 1t is
believed that If that could be done,
the slack divorce laws can be more
easily repealed.

The leading hotels are always crowded, and
the rents for cottages have appreciated, on the
average. to the extent of so per cent in the last
six months. In some instances the increase has
been much greater One cottage that rented for
$50 month in January last, returns its own
rental of 500 month.
Perhaps the thing that endears Reno to
the visiting divorce than anything else is
its proximity to San Francisco. One may board
train in Reno and be in the Pacific coast metrop-
oils in ten hours. Despite its manifold attrac-
tons, life in Reno is likely to wear irksome upon
those who have been used to existence in larger
centers, and the visitors, to great extent SOON
or later during their stay take trip or half
a dozen trips, the Sierras to the city by the
Golden Gate
Such visits while affording relief from the
monotony of life in Reno do not impair the resi-
dence qualifications necessary to the obtaining
of divorce. To again quote the Nevada divorce
authority already mentioned:
Under the provisions of Section 20 of the
Marriage and Divorce act, the plaintiff must re-
side in the state for period of at least six
months This is not construed to that in
order to fully comply with the statute the party
must remain here continuously for said period.
So, If party comes to Nevada and, in good faith,
takes up residence the party may leave the
state at any time after establishing residence,
may go and travel when and wherever the party
chooses, and may return to the state whenever in
clination prompts and yet such temporary alb
would not in any wise affect the legality of
the residence established but the party would be
entitled under the law to bring suit any time
after the lapse of six months from the date resi-
dence was originally established, Notwithstanding
the party's absence from the state during said
period"

COOKING on Sunday.

And this is true, for everybody's sake.
Sunday is the day for extra good
meals, to be sure. but in summer they
need not be heavy meals and they
should be of nature which can be
prepared on Saturday as nearly as
possible.
The potatoes can be boiled the day
before, and creamed for dinner; even
vegetables are-many kinds-good If

tory cold dishes. Boiled salmon is ex-
cellent; prepare the day before and
serve with mayonnaise.

But everything comes to him that waits, and
when the people of South Dakota arose in their
wrath last November and, by referendum vote,
declared that any who desired to get di-
vorce in South Dakota would have to live there
a year instead of six months, as had been the re-
quirement previously, the seeker of relief from
present matrimonial ties began to take the long
Journey westward to Nevada where it takes but
a six months residence to be in position to go
before the courts of the state plaintiff in
divorce suit.
W. H. Schnitzer Reno divorce specialist, has
written treatise divorce practice and pro-
cedure, in which he throws Illuminating ray
on the wherefore of the popularity of Reno as
divorce center. He says:
while the laws of the eastern and middle
western states generally contain some provision
for the dissolution of the marriage tie, it is OBJ
vious to the reader that in where extreme
cruelty desertion, and failure to provide form the
basis of the grievance, the law in such states Of
fers no substantial relief to the aggreved party,
because the requirements of proof, duration OF
offense, corroboration of plaintiff and procedure
under court rules are so exacting and irksome
that the desired relief sought by the applicant is
rendered impossible of attainment. Summing up
the situation it exists in the eastern states
respecting the domestic relation law, the client
when consulting local counsel is almost invar
ibly advised that upon the facts submitted he or
she is without remedy. Here in Nevada the ap
plicant, without deception or fraud, upon
almost any charge from which lack of harmonious
relations may be reasonably inferred may apply
to our courts and secure prompt results by de-
cree of absolute divorce. valid and binding In

While there are about 81 cases now on the
docket of the district court there are in Reno
today over $50 individuals establishing a resi-
dence for divorce purposes a majority of whom
are women.
