"Oh," said Miss Cynthia as she
stood with letter clasped to her
breast, here it is, Miss Selma Lue,
here it is! What do you suppose is
in it?"
Honey, l know what he is a-hoping

"Oh, know, Miss Selma Lue, and

"You mustn't be afraid, honey,
child, but you must pray and have
faith to soften his heart towards the
boy. Jest hold to the thought of his
forgiveness, and don't never give it
up, whether it's in that letter or not"
why, that sounds like we were
sending thought waves to him, Miss
Selma Lue" And Miss Cynthia smiled
even in her anxiety.
Eyes, remember you told me about
them waves when I held to 1t that
Mr.. Kinney would come on back from
town that time he got mad and tried

A shrfll shrek rose from the inter

houses up the street, which was fol-
lowed by a quick exclamation, at
which Ethel Maud shot out Of the
front door, wriggled over the gate,
dust to precipitate herself bodily into
Miss Selma Lue's lap.
"They amt thing in the world the

Salmon TimbaIes.

Mince very fine the white of six
hard-boiled eggs that were put in ice
water as soon as they were done. This
keeps them from darkening 1t is
best to run the whites through a vege-
table press to get them fine enough.
Mix to a paste with six heaping tea
spoons of fresh salmon, boiled, al
lowed to get cold, then minced with
a silver knife. Season the mixture
with onion Juice, butter, celery salt
and paprika, moisten with two table
spoons Of white sauce and stir up
lightly with the whites Of three eggs
whipped stiff. Turn the paste into but
tered napkins, set in a shallow pan of
boiling water and bake (covered) 20
minutes in a quick oven. Run knife
around the inside of each happy to
loosen the timbaIe; reverse carefully
upon heated platter, pour rich
drawn butter about them and sift the
hard-boiled yolks (powdered) all over
them and serve.

When making sweet croquettes add
a little sugar to the crumbs in which
the croquettes are to be rolled.
Celery can be much improved by
soaking it for an hour in ice cold wa
ter in which a lemon has been
squeezed.
Scratches on polished wood, If not
too deep, can be removed by rubbing
gently with fine sandpaper and then
with a mixture of olive oil and vine
gar.
If you desire to serve a baked fish
whole, and have it stand upright ON
the platter, put carrot inside the fish
before cooking and it will remain in
position.
When making lemonade one of the
lemons may be peeled and run through
meat chopper with a small piece of
the peel. This will give the lemonade
a delightful piquant flavor

Spoon Holder.

Says woman contributor to the
Delineator: i had our carpenter make
me shelf 6x18 inches and drill two
rows of holes in it-large ones at the
back and smaller in front, alternat-
ing and not opposite each other. Aft
er vanishing, we fastened it to the
pantry wall with brass brackets. In
the larger holes I put all my large
kitchen spoons, Ladies', ETC., handles
down; in the front all the smaller
ladies, ETC.; around the sides and
front l put few brass screws on
which to hang tin cups, egg beaters,
etc. II necessary the shelf can be
made larger. 1t saves time-every-
thing has its place and it looks neat"
