. Household Suggestions

A cup Of moderately strong tea, in
which two or three slices of lemon have
been infused, will frequently cure a
nervous headache.
When making mustard add a tiny
drop of salad oil to it while it is being
mixed. 1t will greatly improve the
flavor.
To mend broken glass and china melt
common alum in an old iron spoon over
the fire; then apply to the pieces of
china or glass. When dry these arti-
cles can be washed in hot water and
the cement will not melt.
When your wall is loose and soft and
will not hold a nail for pictures, try this
remedy: Mix some plaster of Paris in a
teacup with a little water-only quite
a small quantity. Scoop out a small
hole In the wall with a screwdriver, fill
1t with plaster and then insert the nail.
1t will set quite hard in minute or
two and be perfectly safe.
Put all your potato Feelings into an
old tin and bake them in the oven until
perfectly dry and crisp; then, when you
lay the fire, put them among the paper
with a few sticks, and you will find that
the fire will burn up very quickly. Many
bundles of firewood are saved during
the year by this little plan.
Tea leaves are often used to sweep
carpets, but they should not be too wet
or left lying about too long, as the
color may come out of the carpet Tea
leaves however, are valuable for vari-
Gus other purposes. Store them for
three or four days, soak them in pail
for about an hour, then strain off the
water, which is an excellent wash for

Now, don't set me down as saying
that girls should become engaged just

anything foolish like that. There are

1t s Different Now.

To-day a girl chooses her own mate,
and. just as Nine. Sembrich says she
is apt to marry at an early age and
often because she's afraid of public
opinion.
THE modern girl feels that there is
a certain prestige which she acquires
when she becomes engaged to a young
man, and she often thinks more of this
than of her future happiness. She
PUSHES into an engagement for the
sake of the ring, the parties that viii
be given in her honor and while I'm
not saying that she does not love her
fiance, she certainly often does not
analyze his character, nor study him
very seriously, at first.
THE engagement is announced. The
family is delighted. The excitement
of the announcement subsidies. and the
girl begins to awaken to a new under
standing of herself, of the demands
she will make on her future husband
Her tiance may be the dearest person
in the world, but some instinct, some
, half understood intuition, warns her
that they are not fitted for each other.

Fewer Unhappy Marriages.

Miss Kaelred, but no matter how ex-
cellent the reasons are which induce
young people to break their betrothal
the very sensitive young person al
ways feels that a. stigma of some sort
is attached to this proceeding.
Society hears Of an engagement be-
tween two young people that has been
dissolved, and instead of rejoicing
that they have come to their senses
before it is too late, tongues wag. Cos
sips are busy, and neither of the two
innocent parties is likely to escape
either pity or censure. one is quite
as bad as the other and it is because

Australian, that people have the feel
ing that an engagement ought to be
binding, because in olden times the
betrothal ceremony was almost as i'm
pOrtant as the marriage itself. But in

people were arranged by their parents
