these last designs are delightful

TESTED RECIPES.

Things to Make With Blackberries.
When blackberries are ripe one
begins to think of the many good
things to which they so generously
lend themselves. They are delicious
served simply with plenty of sugar
and cream, but also may be made
into desserts of several sorts.
To stew black berries wash and put
on to cook, with a little water and
about a cupfUl of sugar to a quart of
berries.
A blackberry jam to be eaten at
once-within a day or so after MAX
ing-not to be put up for winter use,
is an attractive adjunct to the early
summer breakfast. To make this
wash blackberries, and to two cups
full of berries add one cupful Of SUI
gar. Cook until soft-about half an
hour.

cry of life may have poisoned and
disfgured us, underneath there are
still vestiges of the child's simplicity
Indeed, it is as much one of the
truths of modern psychology as of
Christianity that at any odd turning
of the way, on any new morning of
the world, quite at unawares, the old
man may be sloughed off and the
spirit of the eternal child come to
the fore again. And is it not almost
always apparent in the very old. or
any who stand at the brink of death,
that the vision splendid is reawaken-
ed; that, however the play of life
may have tricked and undone and
befouled and blinded them, at the
last they return to the same infinite
values that the child brings into the
world?-Harper's Bazaar.

THE PLAY OF LIFE.

Life. with all it's sordid limitations,
can never quite brush away all the
bloom of happy childhood. Through
whatever trials and vicissitudes,
WEAKNESS, and Encouragement the
soul must trail later on, the environ
ment of childhood should always be
little close of fragrance and beauty
to turn back to.
Dean Briggs in one of his books
complains of mothers who, when
they hear from him of their sons
failures in college, exclaim in dis
tress, But he was the loveliest ba-
BY" And stupid as the cry seems,
is there not in it, after all. the very
heart of our complaint against life?
He comes, the child in the house, so
like an angel, so sweet, so pure, so
trustful, so loving that one asks in
voluntarily what unfair trick must
life have played, how the odds must
have been ordered unjustly to turn
so wonderful a being into failure.
Perhaps the fairest hope we can
treasure is, that in the inmost heart
of each of us. however frail and stu
pid and mistaken, there yet turks the
eternal child ready in happier climes
to come once more to the birth. And,
however the madness and the mis-
