From bullying pocket he drew out
packages of seeds and bulbs.
Flowers of all kinds, honey!-jon-
quils, hyacinths, daffodils-"
"Why, foolish" she interrupted with
a laugh, they won't grow this year."
Then, as she saw his crestfallen look:
But never mind; did some bad man
impose on my little city boy? Well
plant them and just make them grow
What are these? Nasturtiums, pan

And so they talked and planned and

Jane, who was much better versed in
such matters than her urban husband,
told him what would have to be done
with the soil, barren, sandy forma-
ton that would scarcely nourish sum

He ran into the house for his garden
seeds, a whole array of the suburban
ties delights from radishes to musk
melons. He had enough for a small
farm. By the time they had decided
where the domain of practical hus-
bandry should end and that of the
flowers begin, it was dark.
"If the lord chancellor of my Gull
nary hosts pleases, Pm hungry" she
informed him. Lets kill the fatted
sirloin and make merry. If all those
seeds of yours grow We'll have to turn
vegetarians later, so we had better
whet our appetites on beef"
"All right" he told her as they
reached the veranda, you just sit here
and when dinners all ready I'll an.
nounce it."
But in minute he had surrendered
and was calling her.
"Where in the world are things,
Jane? The kitchen utensils, mean.
I've opened three boxes and l haven't
struck anything but books and linen"
They found the needed box under
two trunks and pile of pictures. He
got it open and led her back to the
porch. He cleared the table and set 1t
and then he was back to her again.
THE icebox is locked, Jane. Have
you got the key?"
She found it in her bag.

ing real calamity, there isn't bit of
bread"

and as he closed it turned quickly and
took his young wife in his arms. Their
nearest neighbor was obviously friend

at cheerfulness was tinged with an
evident atmosphere of discomfort. Her
impressions of their environment

Mrs. Collins was not exactly the per-

GOOD THINGS WORTH TRYING.
Hunt.

When you don't know what to get
for breakfast, try steamed bananas
on toast Steam the bananas, cut in
halves, until well heated through;
pour over a teaspoonful of lemon juice
and serve on well buttered toast
Have the toast cut in long, narrow
strips to hold the strip of banana.
Egg croquettes.-Take eggs which
have been carefully cooked until hard
in the shell, remove the shell, roll in
beaten egg and crumbs, then season
well and fry in deep fat. Serve gar
nished with a little parsley.
When fresh rhubarb is plentiful in
the market, make this delicious pie:
Chop cupful each of rhubarb and
raisins, and the grated rind and juice
of a lemon, two tablespoonful of but
ter, one cup of sugar, one egg well
beaten. Turn the well blended mix
ture into lined pie tin, dredge with
teaspoon of flour and half tea
spoon of salt. Bake with two crusts.
Ways of Using Stale Fruit Cake
Steam the cake and serve with any
kind of sauce which is liked. Either
an egg sauce, fruit sauce or sauce
made of vinegar with a flour and wa
ter foundation, adding sugar and but
ter.
Crumb the cake and stir cup of
crumbs soaked in fruit juice into a
plain ice cream and freeze.
Stir cupful of cake crumbs into
a cup of milk prepared with junket,
or into custard before baking.
Delicious andwiches.-This recipe
has appeared many times in the
course of three years, but it will ap.
pear again, for it is always new to
some:
Crate sufficient cheese to spread the
required number of sandwiches. Cut
the slices of bread in rounds with a
biscuit cutter, spread with butter and
add enough cream, salt and red pep,
per to the cheese to make it of the
consistency to spread; spread one and
cover with the other round, and then
saute in little hot butter until beau
tifully brown. Serve with any crisp
green salad.
Somerset SaIad.-Mix one and a
half cupfuls of white cooked meat of
chicken with one cucumber, one-half
cup of broken nut meats and the same
of peas and one cut of finely cut cell
cry. Serve on lettuce with a boiled
or mayonnaise dressing.

meet Cumming and Norcross, and will
be known as the Cumming and Nor

leading business men and citizens OF
that particular section.
The new road will be % miles in

agricultural territory that now has no
railroad facilities MessTs. Harris,
Allen and McKelvey are enthusiastic
over the enterprise, and said Tues
day that the people in the Cumming
and Norcross sections are looking for
ward to the new railroad as a great
developer.

tual work of construction will begin
