Fun With Apples.

There are many childish superst-
lions alive about apple parings. The
most popular among young folks Is the
pairing a large apple in n piece and
then throwing the entire pairing over
the left shoulder. When the skin falls
to the ground it will form an initial.
and that initial will be the beginning
Of your future lovers name. Some
say q good way to discover which one
of two sweethearts loves you the best
is to name two apple seeds and place
one on each eyelid Tb> n that
sticks on the longest Is the true and
consistent lover. Whether these be
true or not. they are lots of fun when
young folks are assembled and apples
form the r~efreshment.

For a RAINY Dav.

tor a Rainy Day.
"Oh. dear! What shall we do this
long rainy afternoon" pouted Frank
as he and his sister left the lunch table
and made their way to the nursery.
"You have plenty Of toys" answered
mother.
We've played with them all until
we are tired" said sister. II want
something new and exciting"
Then mother suggested. Take your
scissors and cut out all the men and
women you e in these pictures"
From the top shelf Of the closet she
got down a lot of old magazines. and
the children went to work with a vim.
Frank cut out the men and children
and Lulu the women. and before they
knew It the afternoon was over. and
they agreed that it had passed pleas.
antly.
"Now," said mother. I'VE will put
these cut out pictures aside until the
next rainy afternoon. and then we will
paste ISLANDERS on the backs Of your
paper dolls. and then you'll be ready
for real fun"
do one now. please. just to show
u.s." urged Frank.
So mother cut an inch strip of card
board an inch longer than the length
Of the picture. The inch over she bent
at the heel to form the right angle. and
the top inch she pasted to the top Of
the doll. This allowed the dolls to
stand quite firmly and to be moved
around and handled.

Even though seated on her papa's
knee the sedate little lady in the pic
ture looks a wee bit afraid. Perhaps
she isn't used to having her picture
taken and was wondering what was
going to happen. The baby is Princess
lngrid Victoria. daughter Of Crown
Prince Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden.
She gets part Of her name from her
great-grandmother. who was Queen
Victoria of England. Her mothers
name Is Margaret. and she Is the
daughter of the Duke Of Connaught,
the present governor general Of Can
ada. So you see this young lady is
highly connected. Not that she pays
much attention to those things at pres
ent. for she is only a little over three
years old. Perhaps when she grows up
she may he a queen. but she need not
be envied on that account. Kings and
queens are often unhappy persons.

The ButtermiIk Beauty Cure.

When Marie Antoinette and her Ia.
dies rolled up the sleeves Of their flow
cred muslins and played with churn~
and cream bowls in the dairy of the
Petit Trianon the buttermilk craze wa>
ut its height. 1t was almost a fetis@
in the hands of the l:earHties of tra
time, for they regarded itS'powers as
almost supernatural. Unguents for
the face as we'll as the potions in
which they INDUCED were probably
responsible for the lovely compilations
which made poets compose odes to the
bloom Of their cheeks and painters al
most implore on their knees that the
disdainful beauties should relent so
far as to have their charms immortal
lied. In baked buttermilk one of the
strongholds of the complexion was
said to lie. In a few days it worked
wonders, while perseverance in it's use
would preserve the skin smooth and
soft as a rose leaf.
The sour milk prophet of today errs
in diluting the buttermilk insufficient
~. In the genuine old recipes Of the
past the proportions were a gill of but
termilk to a pint of fresh milk. This
was poured into a jar with a fitted lid
and placed before the open range dur
ing the whole of a day.
BY night the milk had turned to the
consistency Of clotted cream. in which
state it was poured from a height from
one vessel to another until by some
magical means the contents had gone
back c mor to the smoothness of
fresh milk. It was then sweetened
with cane sugar and inclosed finally
in a stone bottle. corked down, tightly
and placed before the fire, but not too
near. for five or six hours. At first
baked buttermilk does not always ap-
pear particularly pleasing. the mere
fact that it is distinctly sour making
it an acquired taste. However, If it
were not acid it was not considered to
have been perfectly made, while If it
~effervesced when the bottle was open
ed it formed not only a most refresh
ing drink. particularly when well iced.
but was thought to be particularly eff
cacious for improving the complexion.
