"1t's shame" Mark muttered,
that you cannot do as you please. If

Virginia knew what he wanted to
say to her. She knew that he loved
her, and she knew, too, that he
would never tell her as long as he
was poor and struggling farmer
She knew that even If he did ask her
Miss Cornelia would never consent
to their marriage.
She sighed and he saw her shad-
owed eyes.
Il wish could tell you all that is
in my heart, Virginia." Mark said.
Virginia smiled bravely and said,
But you mustn't, Mark" and then
she had run away from him into the
house.
Miss Cornelia had seen the two by
the fence and had resolved to keep
Virginia, If possible, out of the gar
den. Miss Cornelia had her own ideas
about matrimony for her niece. The
young doctor in town who called now
and then, and whose admiration Of
Virginia was obvious, had money, po-
sition and good practise. Therefore,
Miss Cornelia argued, If Virginia mar

Virginia liked the doctor, but when
she rode with him or walked with
him or talked with him on the wide
front porch there came to her no such
moments of ecstasy as she felt in
these brief meetings with Mark at the
division line of the two gardens.
Somehow in her mind Mark seemed

Time after time he'd tried to get
that bird, but they'd made the cage

climbing up, and welted him with q

Then grandma was so blamed deaf

when he remarked bitterly about it
she thought some one was calling her

Then underneath the refrigerator

had a dishpan put under the refrigera-

and In summertime all a cat had to

To Keep a Dish Hot,

When 1t is required that a dish or
plate of food be kept hot for half an
hour or so. waiting, perhaps, for a
tardy dinner. better plan than put
ting 1t into the oven is to set 1t on
saucepan Of boiling water and let the
saucepan stand on the top of the oven
or covered part Of the stove.
The plate should be covered with
another plate or close-ftting metal
cover, and to prevent the food from
becoming overdry, plenty Of liquid
added.

A pretty desert served at vegetar'

forming circles of boiled rice on lit

In the center Of each, and pouring
over it a ladleful of pineapple Juice
well sweetened with sugar. All the
ingredients were ice cold. and the dish
proved as refreshing as it was deli.
