BOILED RICE

Rise seems to be a commonplace
dish to discuss, but how few people
there are in this country who really
cook it we'll.
Here is one asy way, and if the
directions are followed carefully
the rice will be dry and flaky.
Pour there pints or little more
of cold water over the cup of rice
and heat quickly to the boiling
point, stirring meanwhile; let it
boil rapidly three or four minutes,
then drain through sieve; add
cold water to rinse the rice, set
over ...e fire to cook in a quart of
boiling water, to which a teaspoon
full of salt has been added cover
closely and let boil rapidly or cook
in the uncovered kettle, adding
water as needed to replace that
lost by evaporation. When the rice
is tender, let it dry off in the oven.

JOHN OLIvER's WASH DAY

John Oliver opened the blinds of
his little back hall bedroom. eau
tiously he scanned the windows on
each side and across the narrow
back yard that separated his
lodging house from the rear of the
tenement on the next block.
Then did he withdraw his head
and reappear, first with a pair Of
very wrinkled hose, next with a
somewhat ragged shirt, all SINH
larly damp and out of repair. Each
in turn he fastened with pins to
the clothes line until his whole

GLIMPSE OF A YOUNG FACE

hours day-comparatively re
munerative employment.
John worked hard, and he had
reached sc" when a faint creaking
beneath his window caused him to
steal to the half open shutters. He
was startled to see the clothes
laden half of the line travelling
slowly away from him. Wonder
ingly he followed the line to the
opposite wall, and there his eye
was just in time to catch a small
white hand and wrist in the act of
removing one of his tattered socks
from the line, and disappearing
with it behind the window blinds.
Quick action was foreign to John
divers nature. Instead of raising
an cutlery he waited further devel-
opments. They came quickly and
continuously. The hand reappeared
again, and the line moved slowly
on it's pulleys and did not rest until
it was vacant.
Two considerations had kept
Oliver from interfering. The first
was the condition of the goods
stolen. Only a lack of time and a
disinclination for such employment
had kept him from replacing this
portion of his wardrobe with APP

allied that by the time he had

to escape.

goods pressed smooth. The old lin

closely fit the upper arm and serve
as foundation material.
The yelling was then laid in fine
cross wise gathers and mounted on
the silk to form the upper part of
the sleeve. The lower part was cut
from the satin with a graceful strap
shaped piece extending to the
shoulder.
Harmony between the altered

itself was achieved by the further
application of bands of darned net.
