COLD DISHES FOR LUNCH

those who prefer not to take much
meat during the warm weather Sa-
worry eggs of all descriptions are always
popular, and this is a particularly APP
petizing-looking dish for hot day.
Required: Six hard-boiled eggs three
ounces of fresh butter, two teaspoon
fuls of anchovy essence, two teaspoon
fuls of tarragon, one picked gherkin'
six tomatoes
Boil the eggs from fifteen to twenty
minutes, shell them, and lay them IN
cool water this keeps them in good
color.
Cut each egg in half roundWays' take
out the yolks, taking care not TO dam

and anchovy essence, and mix them to
a paste with a wooden spoon, add and
mix in the finely-chopped gherkin ana
tarragon, and rub all through a wire

Fill the whites of the eggs with this
mixture, heaping it up high. Cut each
tomato in half, lay these on dlsh'

mile or two along the ridge
The road winds down through wildwood
glades
or caspng boughs and twinng vines,
Which arch in greedy dusk arcades
Until a sunny slope Is reached
Where one may glimpse the river hills
Through springtimes veil OF amethyst
Or autumns haze of glows and thrills.
The cottage stands beside the wood,
Meath shade of apple, pear and plum,
Where song birds build and love and sing
And bees their soft andantes hum
Across the fence the lilacs lean
To whisper to the berry hedge
Whilst scent of clover rises sweet
From winging gate and garden edge.
No marble gances whitley there,
No granite wealth pride affirms
No tropic palms are terraced high,
No fountains play in porphyry urns;
But every breeze that stirs the leaves
Breathes music to that pastoral poem,
For all the peace of all the world,
Is languishing in the one word-Homel
May swallows circle round the caves
Or nest within the chimney height,
And robin, thrush and oriole
Delay till late their southwark flight
May SHOWS of winter lightly lie
Upon that roof and valley wide
And heaven a guardian spirit send
Above that ingle to abide.

CURE FOR 9LAcKHEADs

Blackheads are sometimes slow to
yield to treatment, but | feel sure that
If you use faithfully a cream jelly
made as follows you will find relief
Get from your druggist one ounce of
almozoin and put it in a half pint of
cold water to which you have added
two teaspoonfuls of glycerine. then stir
briskly for a few minutes and let stand
until it becomes thick. Massage your
face with it and it will thoroughly
cleanse the pores and the dust and
Crime will roll out and off the skin.
This tends to make large pores small
and prevents the return of blackheads.
1t also clears the skin of freckles and
tan and keeps it smooth, moist and
pliable. 1t is worth while noting that
this almozoin cream jelly contains no
oils or animal fat that is likely to
cause the growth of superfluous hair.

Delicious Drinks Demonstrated

Lemonade-The best lemonade is
made from a syrup, and can be kept
in the ice box and diluted when needed.
Allow half as much sugar as water
and boil five minutes. Wash six lem
ons and when dry press their skins
with Jumps of sugar till they are full
of lemon oil. Add these to the syrup
and also the juice of the lemons. A
cup of rum makes a more elaborate
drink, and a very thin slice of lemon
placed in the glass makes it more at
tractive. Serve very cold in tall slen-
der glasses.
Raspberry Vinegar-Put half as
much vinegar as raspberries into a
jar to soak. At the end of two days
drain over the same amount of ber-
ries as used first. Let this stand two
days and then strain over sugar, using
measure of berries. Heat slowly and
seal.
Currant Punch-A simple, whole
me drink, which can be given to
children during the summer months,
may be made of good currant jelly,
that is home made, as the main fav-
oring. Boil a cupful of sugar and a
quart and pint of water for ten min
utes. Skim thoroughly, then add the
juice of four lemons and two large
oranges Strain carefully and finally
stir in full pint of the best currant
jelly, Continue stirring until the jelly
is entirely dissolved, then place on ice
until very cold. At the moment of

There's nothing that sounds and
looks so cool on a hot summer day as
a pitcher of iced tea or cool lemonade;
and the girl who knows how to make
one, and serve 1t on well screened
shady porch will find that she has her
full share of popularity during the
summer months
There is one thing to be remembered
in making lemonade or fruit punch,
and that is that there is a danger of
having the drink too sweet. A very
sweet fruit punch may taste good but
1t will leave one thirstier than before.
The same is true of drinks that are
over ffavored--even an ice cold drink
that is insipid is better than one which
is too rich.
Instead of using dry sugar to
sweeten summer beverages much bet
ter results will be obtained If the sugar
is first made into a syrup and allowed
to cool If mixed with the fruit while
hot 1t will spoil the flavor of the fruit.
1t is we'll to remember that all fruits
save pineapple, grape and currant
have a better flavor uncooked. Here
are a few good recipes for summer
beverages:
Tea Punch-Pour two quarts of boil
ing water over two heaping teaspoon
fuls of tea and steep just five min
utes. Strain over two pounds of su-
gar and cover till cool. Break small,
ripe pineapple into bits, or break the
slices of canned pineapple, cut three
peeled oranges into slices and squeeze
. the juice %f eight lemons. Put all
into the tea mixture and add a few
choice Strawberries or cherries. Put
on ice till cold.

WHAT THE BABY WEIGHED

They were Weighing the new baby,
and Ethel was an interested spectator.
The weights, all but the four-pound
one were lost. The fond parent of the

creditable record of weight and began
placing on the scales every available
article he could find, to be weighed
after the baby was removed from the
scales. Before this was done Ethel
hastened to the next-door neighbor and
reported proudly:

Flying is More Exhilarating Than
Shedding. Motoring or Sailing.
(ReView Of ReViews.)

titeNl6W OF fteNleWS.)
Flying is the greatest sport in the
world" was Mr.. Wilbur WrighI's com
ment. The question as to his per
sonal experience aroused him from
his habitual reserve. Il cant de-
scribe the sensation" he continued:
II can only define it by comparison
with more familiar experiences. It is
like shedding. like motoring, like sail
ing, but with increased ex~hilaration
and freedom.
An aeroplane flight, contrary to the
general IMPRESSION. is far steadier han
the familiar means of locomotion.
There is absolute freedom from the
bouncing of the automobile, the jar
Of a railroad train or the rolling and
pitching sensations of the sea. No
matter how many springs Or cushions
may be added to an automobile, for
instance, there will always be some
motion. On the other hand. the seat
Of an eroplane is always steady. The
aeroplane does not jolt over the in
visible wind currents, the ruts Of the
sky. 1t cuts its way smoothly. Even
suppose the plane to be gliding so
Indicating an angle of forty-five de-
grees), the seat remains fixed. There
is, Of course no absolute parallel in
surface travel And since there is
no roll or pitch to the aeroplane, there
is no air-sickness comparable to the
familiar sea-sickness."
All aviatorS seem unconscious of
any element Of danger. Even among
the passengers no one has confessed
even to nervousness during the flights.
Once aloft the exhi1aration of the ex-
ercise banishes every fear. Mr.. Will
bur Wright has flown with many pas
sengers both here and abroad.
After the first flight one has no
thought Of possible accident Mr..
Wright explained. I'm all my flights
[ have never known a passenger to be
frightened. One Of my passengers, I
remember, was greatly disturbed for
fear that, in our downward drive. we
would hit a man who happened to be
in the way: but he was a beginner and
did not understand the control of the
machine. One sOon becomes accus-
toned to the levers and finds plenty
of time to look about and enjoy the
flight"
