BILE.
The process of sailing hardens the
fiber Of fish tissues and renders them
less digestible.
The presence of phosphorus in fish
was supposed to make it especially
valuable as a food to the brain. This
belief has no foundation, other than
the fact that the brain contains phos-
phorus, and it was supposed that fish,
being rich in that element, would sup
ply it.
Many meats contain large per cent
of phosphorus, too, so that the brain
may have it's supply from many
sources.
MAY HOUSEKEEPING.
Let us plan our housekeeping and
sewing so that these lovely days of
May and June that pass all too quick
ly may be spent in the open air. If the
busy housewife will not allow herself Z
change of scene, even if it is only
from the kitchen to the porch or gar
den, she will find that the oppressive
days of summer will be most wearing
to the tired nerves.
Plan the sewing so that it may be
taken out into the open, where the
fresh air, sunshine and bird songs
may have their influence. Many a
meal can be eaten out under the trees
and the whole family have a share in
its preparation.

1t sometimes happens that woman
who complains of h., + husbands cold
ness has herself dropped all signs of
enthusiasm. She feels, but she does
not show her feeling; she admires, but
does not express her admiration. After
all, men are not so different from
women, since they like now and then
to be fiattered and they like to be told
they are loved.
But if a woman has done all that
lies in her power and still has failed
to regain her ascendancy? Then
should wife reproach her husband
Shall she reveal to him all she suf
fers? Shall she make an appeal TO
his pity?
You must answer first whether the
man has a conscience, whether he has
imagination and sympathy. If he has
it is well he should know how things
have drifted, how sorrow. has taken
the place of delight
It is true that in plays and romance
the problem is solved by awakening
jealousy. But the books have last
chapters and the theaters have cur
tains, so that We do not know what
lies beyond. If in that way love is re-
kindled it is not likely to last.
No doubt in many cases the problem
defies solution. If it has been WON
ans misfortune to marry heartless
man, what can she do but resign her
self to the fact that her life with him
is practically life of solitude? What
does it matter how pretty, how charm
ing, how devoted and self-sacrificing
she is? But if the man is only
thoughtless, it ought not to be beyond
the skill of loving heart to set vi
brating again the sweet chords of mu
tual affection.

is something a woman may do-to be
her own rival, to outshine herself, to
find new sources of wisdom and mirth.
Even in the matter OF appearance
something of novelty may now and
then be arranged. To some women it
may be ridiculous to talk of new hats
and dresses, but there are changes
which even the poorest can make. If
you have read "On the Heights" you
remember how the Countess Irma
often changed the style of her hair
This was naturally inveighed against
as coquetry, in wishing to attract at
tention; but in her it was merely the
desire to appear fresh and new every
day.

WHEN love COOLS
Restoring to Life the Old Romance

enthusiasm remains People with
jolly dispositions quickly get over in
tervals in which enthusiasm flags. But
stupid and shallow people go from one
degree Of GOODNESS and boredom to an
other They have no recuperative
powers. They drift apart
1t often happens that the fault is
entirely on one side. On the whole, it
seems true that women are more de-
voted than men, if for no other reason
than that a sort of maternal affection
is added to the love based on attrac-
ton. Thus, woman may feel infinite
tenderness for a man who has begun
to neglect her. But if she asks how 10
win back his affection, then, indeed,
she has touched on a problem that is
not to be easily solved.
But though it may be there has been
no fault on her side, yet first she may
seek to discover if in any respect she
has failed. For sometimes a man
needs more care and sometimes more
freedom. A wife may be too fond of
society or too much averse to it, too
extravagant or too set on economy, too
masterful or too weak, too stubborn
or too characterless, too lively or 100
demure, or, not to mention all pos
sible faults, may in some way or
other constantly annoy when she
wishes always to please.

bic character so much as pretend to
fall short of her highest ideal. If she
is patient and faithful, if by all means
in her power she strives to be wor ny

happens the joy that seemed to have

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-30

Not even love always teaches people
the art of pleasing. Yet no special
gift is required to observe what gives
pleasure and what pain. No special
strength of character is needed to be-
stow the one and to avoid causing the
other.
After marriage it is sometimes the
woman who becomes the sutton. And
if it is said that in this way she hui
initiates herself, on reflection it will
be seen how far this is from the truth.
Perhaps in the eyes of the world the
man is not worthy of her But it is
right that she should seek to draw
back to herself the love which for a
moment, or it may be for long time,
has wandered. If there is humiliation
in that. there is humiliation in the
mothers attempt to bring smiles to
the lips of the child that she holds in
her arms.
This woman sutton would do well TO
remember the powers of freshness and
novelty.
BY intercourse with others, by the
study of books, by the careful reading
of newspapers, the mind can be daily
renewed. No one has a right to be
the same today as yesterday And yet,
as everyone knows, among married
people, one of the sources of boredom
is that they find so little that is new
to say to each other, Here at least

Knowing this, one would say that i.
was in spite of the mans conduct, not
because of it. But he did, at least
from the first, recognize that, however
much two persons may love each
other, care must be taken to preserve
that beautiful and delicate balance Of
two souls that is called mutual affec-
ton. His folly was only in his meth
cd, which was likely to have killed i'm
mediately the romantic love which in
his clumsy way he was so anxious 10
keep in existence.
1t cannot be repeated too often that
love needs to be tended. All the un-
happy marriages we read about, all
the tragic divorces, are not due to in
compatibility. 1t is not that all these
people are ill-mated and have mistaken
a momentary infatuation for love;
often enough they have loved truly
and deeply and have supposed that
this would look after itself. 1t is
never so. But those who are by ma
ture sympathetic do by instinct what
others must bring themselves to do
They continue always to make love
and do not withhold in later life the
attentions, the compliments and even
the gifts which during courtship they
delighted to offer
The idea that love must be protected
surprises people who, never having
given the matter a thought, hear II
suggested for the first time. What
they would say Isl Either you love or
you don't love, and there's an end OF

not follow that love can be left to it,

thusaism.

hIllocks of Vegetables.

At this time of the year farmers are
busy making miniature mountains on
their holdings, mountains that will be
scattered over the countryside before
the winter is over.
The mountains in question are those
formed of vegetable produce that must
be kept for several months, and sold
as occasion requires. Potatoes, beet
root, carrots and tuTnips are raised
from the ground In September and
stored.
The farmer calls his hiilock Of vege-
tables clamp" He makes it on a
piece of high ground near the home
stead, SO that it may rot be aooded,
and many big grower has clamps a
quarter of mile long.
First, shallow ditch is dug on the
piece of land selected. The base of this
is lined with straw, and upon the straw
the roots are heaped up firmly and
carefully, till they resemble an elon-
gated cone.
Over the sides of the cone more
straw is laid, and on that again earth
or, better still, turfs, with their grassy
sides inwards. Bricks will not keep

| EMPIRE BAG HERE TO STAY
In Present Stage 1t Is Thing Of
Beauty and Joy Of the
Season.

There Is no end to the variety of
form and color assumed by the ever
increasingly popular empire bag In
its present stage it is thing Of beauty
and joy of the season, though, being
o child of Dame Fashion, it cannot be
a joy forever.
You have no idea how much money
can be centered on the development OF
these handsome and thoroughly charm
ing envelopes. Costly gilt ornaments
are seen on many of the more elab-
crate ones, some of which are made
entirely of gold, silver, copper or steel
colored lace. Semi-precious stones
are used to carry out flower pat
tern or to highten the effect of con-
pings of silver. gold or ivory. tiny
vanity cases, mirrors, powder puffs,
Zip pencils and the like.
Another idea that has caught the
fancy of the woman who counts not
cost, is an empire bag of brocade,
either velvet or satin, to match her
hat or its trimmings. Usually this
hat is one of the small bonnetlike
models edged with bands of fur, such
as moleskin, Persian lamb, chinchilla
or ermine. A band of the fur outlines
the bag and the flap, which buttons
over envelope fashion. OF course, the
plainest of autumn suits would as
sumo smart tone when worn with
such ultra fashionable foibles.
Bags of broadcloth of the same ma
terial as the suit have deep chenille
fringes around the sides and bot
toms and CORRESPONDENCE plain

frosted silver.

SAVE MONEY ON STOCKINGS
Judicious Selection Will Accomplish
Wonders of Economy During
the Year.

Many women do not give much
thought to the matter of buying stock
ings. Their cost is so little that it
would seem as if one could not save
much, even if she were careful in this
matter. But more can be saved by
sadlcious selection than is thought,
and in the course of year or SO this
saving mounts up.

The white-foot stocking does not
wear quite so we'll as the all-bIack

the black part, and is apt to break

the fabric scarcely visible to the eye,

conscious of it.
