MUSINGS OF ELINOR HITE
BROKEN FRIENDSHIPS.

THINK that when friendships are
broken off there is generally a fault
on both sides. The trouble is most
people expect too much from them,
and when they don't come up TO ex-
pectations they are disappointed. The
great thing is TO remember that no one
is perfect.
Tact is great help II you want to
keep your friends. The girl who has
learned just when to say the right
thing and when to keep silent need
have little fear of losing her friends.
There are times when most OF us feel
out Of hunor and inclined to quarrel
with anybody. and at such a moment
a little tact will do more than any
amount OF arguing.
You viii usually md. too. that the
tactful person has heaps Of friends. for
she is always popular and a welcome
guest wherever she goes.
There is no surer way of losing
friends than by letting them feel that
you are ever on the make" People
dislike to think that friendship is
measured merely by what can be got
out of it. The rfriend" who wants a
free prescription" from a doctor and
free puff from an editor. theater
tickets from an actor, and so on. soon
finds herself friendless.
We all look with loathing upon cup
board love" We want TO be valued
for what we are and not for what we
give. And we quickly drop friends
whose only wish is to turn us TO ac-
count.
Unless you can tell your little Sc
orets to a friend with the certainty
that they will go no further that
! friend is not worth keeping.

even indiscreet remarks 10 her with

IN rHE MELON SEASON.

The buying Of melons is apt to prove
disappointing to even the most know
ing housewife. for 1t is almost i'm
possible to judge of the interior of a
melon from its external appearance
Experts test the ripeness Of water
melons by turning the white or ground
side up and scratching the whitest part
with the finger nail II the skin is
tender and the melon firm it is just
right to buy. A muskmelon has
pungent odor when ripe. which be-
comes more pronounced when the stem
IS punctured
Both fruits should be served in an
almost frozen state. and it is necessary
TO keep the aroma Of the muskmelon
from permeating the icebox, as it ID
apt to make everything else in the re-
Grigerator taste of the odor.

AN EASY WAY TO STRING BEANS.

From an experienced housekeeper
comes this advice for stringing beans.
AS every one knows. the stringing Of
beans for a large family is quite q
task. consuming so much time that
for this reason alone the highly nu-
tritious vegetable has often had to be
omitted from a meal
To string beans easily wash them IN
cold water to get them free from sand.
etc. put them into the pot with boiling
water and let them parboil. Then
throw them into a collander. let them
stand until cool and then proceed 70
string them In this way you are able
to get the strings off entirely in far
shorter time than formerly and with
ont staining your fingers. Rinse the
beans once again. return 70 the pot
with a little hot water. and they are
ready to be cooked.
