OF all the lessons in life's school
For Rabbits. Squirrels. You and me,
Obedience is taugh. us first.
And most important seems to be.


Peter Rabbit learned that when he
was very young. 1t hadn't seemed SO
important then, but after two or three
very narrow escapes from dangers which
might have cost him his life, and all be-
cause he hadn't obeyed. he had begun to
realize that to obey promptly Is the nrst
and most important lesson any one can
learn The older he had grown the more
he had realized this. So now that ne
had made up his mind that it was hlgh
time for his four babies to begin to go
to school obedience was the lesson ne
meant that they should learn nrst oi
all.
Now. usually the teaching OF paoy
Rabbits is left almost wholly to the
mother. But Peter was too fond or niue
Mrs. Peter to leave all the work TOT

her life in the Old Pasture and there
were some dangers on the Green
Meadows and in the Green Forest that
she didn't know about as well as ne, SO

too glad to have his help, YOU may be

| The charm of dancing is not in the
steps themselves, nor even in the
| harmonious combina ton of steps, but
| in the sympathetic response of one
member of the body to the impulse
and motion of every other member. and
| there is no reason why this charm
should be reserved for dancing. no rea-
| son why it should not be made the
underlying principle of every move
| ment of the body as one goes about the
| routine of the day.
| 1t and it should and then
| would result a genera ton of graceful
wholesome women instead of awk-
ward, IMPOSED ones. The secret of
all grace is bodily control and ease
of motion, and there is no method by
which these things can be SO readily
| and interestingly and rightly acquired
as through that of fancy dancing.
Women eXpend strength and waste
vitality with reckless disregard of
natures laws, and so here again do
the esthetic movements of dancing
aid in teaching her reform No one
can acquire even the fundamentals of
dancing without acquiring also CO.
ordination of forces and conservation
of energy and strength along with
other valuable achievements, such as
pliability of muscles, .poise, etc.
Here, then, is little dance exercise
that will be found both pleasurable
and helpful.
Position-Stand straight. with chest
up and out, arms stretched out in
a line with the. shoulders. Place
right foot a step ahead of left, knee
bent and weight upon big toe.
Weight of body is upon left foot.
First movement-Draw right foot
back of heel of left, bringing it a
step behind, and, with arms slightly
lowered. turn to right without chang
ing the position of the feet then turn
to the left in the same manner.
Practice this, rhythmically swaying
as you change from one foot to the
other
Second movement-Turn completely
around. rising high on the toes, thus
reversing the. original position. Do
not bend the arms. The legs are now
crossed above the knees. This is a
difficult movement, but well worth in
it's results diligent practice.

comfortably close together. with the
toes slightly pointed outward.

Cold Meat Dishes.

For Warm-weather luncheonS and sup
pers cold meats are most appetizing.
Every meat under the sun can be pre-
pared in such a way that is delicious
when eaten cold. Plain boiled or roast
meat of most kinds Is worth while when
served cold. Ham and corned beef are
better, in the opinion Of most persons.
when cold than when hot. Roast lamb.
boiled mutton, tongue, roast chicken,
roast Of boiled veal-all these are de-
licious when sliced and served cold.
pairing this meat for a cold dish. Buy
knuckle of veal and wipe it clean Have
the bone broken-it should be sawed, not
chopped, SO that there will be no little
slivers of bone in the meat. Cover it with
two quarts of cold water. In little
square Of cheesecloth put a tablespoonful
Of minced onion. and the same amount
each of carrot and turnip, little parsley,
little celery and some mace and Glove.
Add to the meat. Boil this slowly until
the meat falls from the bone. Strain.
season the liquid with salt, pepper. a
little lemon juice and boil down to
quart Separate the meat and bone, put
the meat in a mold. garnish it with
pour on the liquid. Cool 1t. when 1t
should be firmly jellied. and serve in
slices.
Chicken gelatin made in this way Is
a truly tempting dish: Dress a three
| pound chicken and boil it until 1t is ten
| der without jonting it. Stick small
| onion with two or three cloves, and when
| the chicken is partly done add 1t, with a
| little parsley. a stalk of celery, g bay
| leaf and little mace to the liquid. When
| the chicken is tender remove the meat
from the bones and remove the fat and
| skin gristle. Skim all the fat from the
liquid and strain it. Add salt to it and
| boil it down to a quart. Soak a table
1 spoonful OF granulated gelatin In ia
| blespoonful of lemon juice and add it to
| the liquid Pour half an inch of this
| LIQUID in the bottom Of mold and let
| it harden Then spread over it a layer
| sprinkle it with diced tender celery. Melt
the remaining liquid and pour another
| half-inch layer over the chicken. Add
| layer Of dark meat, garniShed with olives,
| and another layer Of jelly. Let this get
| firm and serve with a mayonnaise salad.
/ Another beef loaf is made from the
| shank. Put the shank. either the whole
| or half of 1t, in kettle and pour over it
| two quarts of cold water. Add little
| celery, slice or two of carrot, several
| sprigs of parsley and q sliced tomato.
| Simmer 1t slowly until the meat falls
| from the bones. Then remove the meat
| and bones and cut the meat in dice, dis
| carding all fat, gristle and bone. Return
these to the broth and simmer it down
! to about two cupfuls. Put the meat In
| a mold or. q fiat bread pan, and pour
! the concentrated strained broth over it.
| teaspoonful Of gelatin added to the
! broth will insure its jellying sooner than
otherwise Season the broth with salt
| and pepper before putting 1t on the meat.

should be kept in mind that the toes
are always inclined downward and
outward, the two feet never being
parallel or turned inward. Another
important suggestion is that no posi-

are graceful and there should never
be any straining of muscles, merely
an easy pull on them. which will grad

lace from November until May. F1ounces
Of it appear on all the smart gowns made

Black lace is put on afternoon gowns.
white lace is put on evening gowns, and
the two are intermingled in many curious
and absorbing ways. Whatever else the
lace may do, 1t never seems to cover the

PARIS, August "a, 1913
II woman sees any kind OF crystal
jewelry going cheap, she had better rush
in and buy it. 1t Is difficult to tell
whence the fashion came to ornament
ones self with colored beads made into
designs, but 1t is better to accept the fact
and procure the beads rather than work
out its origin.
Paris has no hesitancy in asking from
SIS to $25 or more for such an ornament
when il is added to an evening or after
noon gown, and although every one OBJ

were such artistic and wearable orna-
ments made Of nothing but crystal beads.

To Pickle Fruit.

Before watermelons have quite gone
by make supply of picked water
melon rind for use with cold meats
next winter. Select a firm, ripe melon
for this purpose. The inside can be re-
moved in dice or rounds and eaten
iced and sugared in sherbet glasses,
so the pickle costs only for heat spices
and vinegar and sugar Cut the rind
into blocks or fancy shapes and boil
them in clear water until they are
tender. Drain them. Boil two pounds Of
sugar with a quart Of vinegar. half an
ounce Of mace, an ounce Of cinnamon
and two or three ginger roots. When
this mixture has boiled until 1t is thick
pour it, boiling hot, over the tender
melon rind. The next day drain it off
heat 1t again, and again pour it over
the rind. Seal in jars
Picked peaches are an old standby
without which no supply shelf Is COM
plete. To make them. allow three and
three-quarter pounds OF granulated
sugar to seven pounds of fruit Boil
this amount of sugar for five minutes
with a quart Of vinegar and then add
two ounces. each Of whole cloves and
stick cinnamon. Pare the peaches and
stick two whole cloves in EACH Put a
few peaches at time in the boiling
strip and cook them until they are
tender, but not really soft. Take them
from the strip and put them in glass
jars or stone crooks. Boil the strip
down until 1t measures only half the
quantity that 1t was before and pour
1t over the fruit.
Plums and pears can be picked in the
same way as peaches. The skin, which
is never offensive as the furry skin OF
the peach sometimes is, can be left on
these fruits.
