TAKE PLACE OF MEAT
DELICIOUS VEGETABLE SOUPS
FOR THE HOT WEATHER.
Something of a Novelty Is One Cali.
ing for Fresh Garden Peppers
Onion Soup Brought to Per-
lection in France.

An housekeeper whose family
doesn't care very much for flesh food
in summer can dnd any number of de-
licious vegetable soups to take the
place of meat decoctions, and having
once formed the habit of using them
it is likely to be q lasting one.
Tie following soup, calling for fresh
garden peppers, is a novelty: Mince
three large peppers ans three small
onions together and stew them gently,
till teuder, in little 6utter-about
two tablespoonfuls- without brown
ing. Then thicken to a paste with a
generous tablespoonful of Gour and
gradually stir the mixture into quart
of boiling milk. Season with salt and
pepper. Gradually add also, stirring
we'll, the yolks of three eggs. and then
remove from the fire Immediately and
servo very hot with croutons. Do not
let 1t cool long or it may cur6le. II
one or two Of the peppers are a
bright red, instead of green, they will
lend pretty tints to the soup
For French onion soup, which re-
turned travellers describe as food for
the gods, fry four onions in two table
spoonfuls of butter or very nice soup
fat. The latter is to be preferred be-
cause it is cheaper. When they are
quite brown add scant half cupful
of flour, stirring all the time When
the -four is brown mix in carefully Ga
little at time) about three pints of
boiling water or stock Season the
whole with salt and pepper and put
the soup near the back of the stove,
where it will merely simmer for half
an hour. Mash two potatoes and add
enough warm milk to them to make a
PURGE. Stir this PURGE into the soup
and if too thick add a little fresh
milk. Then strain and boil ten min
utes. Serve very hot with croutons.
The following combination of rice
and lettuce makes a delicious soup:

arrow from a bow
In five minutes he was at the foot
of the giant stairs. Kicking off his
snow shoes, he scrambled up the
broken way, easily finding in the snow
a trail which had evidently been
passed and repassed daily. In a few
moments he was at the top of the
shelf A hard trampled path ran be-
tween high walls of snow to a
door!
Behind that door what would he
find? Just what he brought to
it, love and hate, he fancied. We
usually find on the other side Of
doors no more and no less than
we bring to our own sides. But what
ever was there there was no hesita-
ton in Armstong's course. He ran
toward it, laid his hand on the latch,
and opened it.
What creatures of habit we are!
Early in that same morning, after one
vain attempt again to influence the
woman who was now the deciding and
determining factor, and who seemed to
be taking the mans place, Newbold,
ready for his journey, had torn him
self away from her presence and had
plunged down the giant stair. He had
done everything that mortal man could
do for her comfort; wood enough to
last her for two weeks had been taken
from the cave and piled in the 'kitch-
en- and everywhere so as to be easily
accessible to her; the stores she al
ready had the run of, and he had fit
ted stout bar to the outer door
which would render it impregnable to
any attack that might be made against
it, although he saw NO quarter from
which any assault impended.
Enid had recovered not only her
strength, but good deal of her nerve.
That she loved this man and that he
loved her had given her courage. She
would be fearfully lonely, of course,
but not so much afraid as before. Til

however, that she saw him go at
last.
They had been so much together
in that month; they had learned what
love was. When he came back il
would be different he would not come
alone. The first human being he met
would bring the world TO the door of
the lonely but beloved cabin in the
mountains-the world with its oues-
tons. its inference, its suspicious, its
denunciations and its accusationsl
Some kind of an explanation would
have to be made. some sort an an
swer would have to be given, some So
luton of the problem would have to
be arrived at. What these would be
she could not tell
Newbold's departure was like the
end OF an era to her. The curtain
dropped: when it rose again what was
to be expected? There was no COM
fort except in the thought that she
loved him. So long as their affections
matched and ran together nothing
else mattered. With the solution of it
all next to her sadly beating heart she
was still supremely confident that
love, or God--and there was not so
much difference between them as to
make 1t worth while to mention the
one rather than the other-would find
the way.
