Served With Green Peas, and
Combination Is Delicious.

Wipe each chop with a damp cloth
and trim off any extra fat. Break an
egg In saucer, add a tablespoonful
of warm water and beat with fork
just enough to break the stringiness.
Have ready a quantity of dried and
sifted bread crumbs. Cracker crumbs
are often used, but do not give as
crisp a crust. Dip each chop in the
egg, lift up and drain for moment,
then roll in the crumbs Repeat un'

just enough boiling water to keep
from burning and cook, adding little
water as needed until tender. Have
a quantity of fat in saucepan. Heat

An easy way to polish solid silver
and plated ware is to rub the tarnished
places with a piece of raw potato,
dipped in common baking soda. This
is quickly done and the silver does
not incline to retarnish so soon as with
other polishes.
Try wiping the mating on bedroom
floors with a mop wrung out OF salt
water, before sweeping. Rinse as
often as necessary to take up the dust.
Then it requires only a moment to
sweep up and you have no dust flying.
Socks and stockings should be
darned on the right side, so that the
smooth part Of the mended place will
come next to the foot, thus preventing
irritation.
1t is much better when cleaning
rugs or Brussels carpets to lay on the

When eggs are broken and can not
be used at once, remove from the
shell and keep well-covered in a cool
place. This will prevent the yolks

SMALL BOY PLAINLY DRESSED
Perfection Of Cut and Workmanship
Demanded, Though Materials Must
Be Inconspicuous.

The clothes of the well-dressed
small boy grow palmer and palmer:
though more attention is bestowed
than ever before on their perfection
of cut and workmanship. Linen, per-
Gales and galateas are the best choice
for play frocks or sailor suits, and for
the formal costume, white serge or
mohair, or heavy white ottoman silk
may be used. A little boy of six, who
has big brown eyes and dark hair
bobbed off in the familiar Buster
Brown style, has had made for sum-
mer wear six silken suits, all in the
picturesque sailor style. with very full
blouses over very short knickers.
Two of the suits are of white tub silk
and with these go flowing sailor ties
of black silk. One suit is of a blue
and white tub silk and is accompa-
MED by dark blue tie; another suit
of tan and cream silk has a tie of
warm amber silk. A gala suit is of
red and white tub silk, with a red
necktie and white collar embroidered
with red anchors. The suit de luxe,
however, is one Of white faille silk,
embroidered on collar and sleeve with
white chevrons and having tie of
pale blue surah.

He left the little old town, one day,
To pursue success and to win renown;
The seasons passed in too dull a way
To give him JOY in the little old town;
In the little old town the streets were
And the buildings low and pleasures
cheap,
And he pitied those who wege satisfied
To stay where the people were half
asleep
He left the little old town to win
The large rewards that to worth be-
long,
To add to the city's unceasing din.
To try his powers among the strong,
And he proudly thought. as he turned to
gaze
At the little old town in its peacefulness
OF q distant glorious day Of days
When he would return, having claimed
success.
He thought of the villagers doing there.
Deaf to Ambitions persuasive call.
Content, because they were free from
care,
To claim rewards that were few and
small.
And he thought of a girl whose eyes were
wet
When, wishing him we'll. she said good
But he hurried away, to soon forget
Where the roar was loud and the walls
were high.
And often he thought in his lonely nook,
When his muscles ached and his heart
was sad
OF the little old town with its sleepy look.
Where the streets were wide and the
children glad,
And often he thought Of the peace out
there,
And often he wondered II, after all,
The people were wasting the seasons
The days were long and rewards were
small.
He had thought of glorious day Of days
When he would return to the little old
town
And listen to those who would give him
praise
For his proud success and his wide re-
nown,
And tomorrow he will be travelling back,
No more to care and no more to sigh
For the glory the little old town may
lack
To lie and rest where his parents lie.

Had Followed Instructions.

The way in which a statement is
made frequently changes its effect
greatly. James, the new Office boy,
had been directed by his predecessor
to perform certain duties daily at reg
ular times James proved rather in
efficient, and Dick, promoted, but still
in the office, undertook to reprove
him. Among other derelictions it had
been reported that written instruc-
tions to inform visitors that certain
member of the firm was only visible
at certain times, that the calls and
orders of the head of the firm must
always be given precedence, and that
the private secretary, young lady,
must be kept supplied with fresh
drinking water had been disobeyed.
Said Dick, sternly: Look here,
boy, what did l tell you about Mr..
Blank and Mr.. So-and-So' and Miss
Dane?"
Answered James with a surprising
mixture of shame and impudence:
You told me that Mr.. Blank would
be in the Office some time on Monday,

that I gotter humor old So-and-So or

COOL AND NUTRITIOUS
WEIL-MADE MILk-SHAkE A DE-
LIGHT ON A HOT DAY.
Easy to Make at Home, Provided the
Necessary Utensils Are at Hand,
and They Are Cheap and Eas-
iiy Procured.

A food drink of real nutritive value
and tempting appearance and taste is
the well made milk shake. 1t Is a
lunch in itself for warm summers
day. and is always a satisfying bev-
erage for one who is hungry and tired.
The home made milk shake is just
as good as the one made by the very
best confectionery, if it is properly
made To begin with, If you would
be a past master In the art of shake
making, you must possess yourself OF
a shaker. One of nickel plate that is
strong enough to stand hard shaking,
made with a screw cover and a little
spout through which the shake can
be poured into glass, costs about
two dollars. The spout is covered
with small tip which can be un-
screwed, and this Is fastened to the
top by a short chain which keeps 1t
from being easily lost Shakers for
less than a dollar can also be bought,
and they are quite as satisfactory for
making good milk shake.
For an egg milk shake, break ar
egg into the shaker, add flavoring and
sweetening, half fill the shaker with
rich milk and shake vigorously, In
both hands. for three or four minutes.
Pour it into a glass and fill 1t with
milk. If plain milk shake is want
ed, put f1avoring. sweetening and milk
in the shaker and shake them together
by holding one hand over the top, the
other over the bottom of the shaker,
and shaking vigorously from the el-
bows.
If vanilla or some other fiavoring ex-
tract is used, sweetening, either in the
form of granulated sugar or sweet
sirup made by melting sugar over the
fire in just enough water to boil 1t In
solution, must be used with 1t. If a
favoring sirup is used that Is general
ly sufficiently sweet.
Chocolate sirup can be kept on
hand for making milk shakes. To
make 1t, mix a third of a cupful OF
cocoa with two cupfuls Of granulated
sugar Gradually add cupful of boil
ing water and let the mixture boil for
FIVE minutes. When it Is cold add a
teaspoonful of vanilla and teaspoon
full of very strong coffee. This mix
ture of f1avors produces a delicate
taste, but the coffee can be omitted
and twice as much sugar added in
stead. About two teaspoonfuls of the
sugar are needed for one glassful OF
milk,
If the milk shake made according
to the directions already given proves
too heavy, make it with two-thirds
milk and one-third apollinaris water,
drawn ice cold from a siphon.

Sometimes "Pjace Makes Riaht."

Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, the
famous London actor, who was knight
ed by the king the other day, has
been telling his experiences to the
pressmen of the capital Of the empire.
One relates to John Davidson, the
Scottish poet, whose death took place
under tragic circumstances two or
three years ago. The knight was pro-
ducing play by the poet, and the
latter was attending a rehearsal.
Presently a well-known actor came
on the scene waving his arms like a
windmill" says Sir Johnston. David
son edged up quietly to me and said:
81 suppose that will be a vera we'll

And I presume he will be in re-
ceipt of a vera considerable honor.

"I confessed he was right.
Then why does he wave his arms
about in that extraordinary manner
inquired Davidson. in his broad Scotch
accent, adding, humorously: If he did
that in Piccadilly he would render
himself liable to be arrested!'"
