Only few days remained before the

Office John had acquitted himself with
skill and fidelity. Fear OF him had
doubtless restrained the machine from
many characteristics depredations. but
victory was well nigh hopeless. he had
become candidate again only that the
fight might go on. in the faint hope that
something might occur to turn the tide
in his favor. In the absence OF the IN

SERVING CORN ON THE COB
Typical American Dish Requires Some
Care In lite Proper Preparation
for the Table.

There is no vegetable of which so
much can be made as the typically
American sweet green corn. Some
persons insist that no dish is more de-
licious than corn on the cob, but there
is a certain art which must be mas
tered If even this simple dish is to be
well prepared. One way to boil It Is
to select thick, short ears and remove
all of the husk excepting the inner
layer. Strip that down and take on
all the silk and cut out the grains that
are dried or dlscolored. Tie the husk
over the ear again and boil 1t 20 min
utes In a deep covered pot, OF 10 min
utes If the ears are small. Then re
move the string which holds the husA
in place and serve either In the huskl
or without the husks on folded nap
kin.
Another way to prepare corn on thu
cob is TO remove the outer leaves and
silk from six young ears and put then
in a saucepan with just enough watel
to cover them. Add half a cupful o
milk. half an ounce of butter and
pinch of salt. Cook for 20 minutes
covered tightly, and then serve. Re
member that the sweetest ears are tn
freshest. s,,sstss

PROTECTING ODDS AND ENDS
Paper Covers 20 Good as Can Be
Bought May BE Made At Home
BY the Clever Housewife.

The housekeeper uses all sorts Of
dlshes-eups. tumblers. pitchers and
tins--as receptacles for the left-Oyers
that are inevitable In homework The
white OF an egg, a little apple sauce,
pieces OF butter, half tumblerful Of
cream-countless odds and ends have
to be saved Frequently they occupy
a large part OF the pantry crockery.
Most OF the improvised receptacles
lack covers, yet It is important TO pro
tect the contents. Paper covers will
do the work They are light clean
and convenient and once the knack
is acquired are easy 10 make. Filter
paper, such as chemists use, Is the
best for the purpose. II IL inexpensive
and so soft and tough that II can be
folded several times without breaking.
Cut out a square piece twice the
size of the top Of the tumbler or dish
TO be covered. Clip on the four cor
ners; then, with your left hand. hold
the octagonal piece in place upon tbs
tumbler. Roll the projecting edges Of
the paper inward and upward and
press them against the outside OF th'
tumbler or dish.
II you have made the cap correctly
you can easily remove It from an
smooth-edged receptacle. such as
tumbler. and use It again and again.

Cara of Your Umbrella.

A soft silk wears the best in an um,
brella. A steel frame is lighter to
carry and admits of closer roll
When carrying your umbrella on the
street not in use, keep 1t furled; II
hanging In your closet keep its case
on. In fact, it presents a very neat
appearance If the case is on when it
is carried. To furl, grasp the stick
in the right hand, shake out the folds,
wrap them closely around the stick,
beginning at the lower end, and
smooth as they are wrapped around
the stick, then fasten with the silk
hand on the silk cover.
When coming in with a wet UNI
brella, wipe off the handle and fer
rule. and furl the silk sections. If the
silk gets a spot on it, remove 1t with
silk cloth, warm water and soap
Clean a gold or silver handle In
warm soapsuds, rub up wooden han
die with a very slightly oily cloth.

distance from the stream, and stood
on a knoll that gave a view Of the
ocean. 1t was surrounded by weeds

consider this unusual. because II had

One Of them, he thought, spoke In

young woman having been, presume
