BITE NOT YOUR NAILS

Are you in the habit of biting your na51s7 If your answer is in the affir- rnative. then read on. as you will find something of interest
 There are many reasons why you should cease to be a nail bitter. each good and sufficient. in itself.
 For instance, a great many physi-. clans claim that appendicitis is very apt to attack the nail bitter. This is unpleasant hearing. is it not ? Hsvi errt- ly it behooves you to mend you ways if you look with dislike upon surgeons and operating rooms
 Here is the second reason why you should stop nibb1ing at your nails. The nails, so it seems make splendid 1odg- conditions some harmless and others very much the reverse. You can see from this that it very easy matter for the nail bitter to become infected with this or that disease
 If the two reasons given above does call your attention to the fact that broken nails and inflamed fingeft1ps do not add to the beauty Of the hand. Then. too, it is impossible to feel any thing tenderIy or delicately if the fns- ers are swollen and sore.
 Now that you know two or three Of the many reasons why you should cease feaSting on your nails let me urge you to abandon this foolish and unbeautifa1 habit.

TO-DAY'S POEM
KEW GARDENS.

6The Spectator lLondon1 reprints the following as part of an old Eng fish balladj:
 Let's go to Kew. .tis lilac time 'tis li- lac time.
 Let's go to Kew, 'tis lilac time; It isn't
 far from London! And we shall wander hand in hand
 with Love in summer wonderland So let's to Kew, ,tis lilac time-it isn't
 far from Londoni The cherry trees are seas of bloom
 and sweet perfume, And ohl so near to Londoni And there they say when dawn is nigh
 and all the worlds 8 blaze of sky, The cuckoo, tho he's very shy. will
 sing a song for London. The nightingale is rather rare. and yet
 they say you'll hear him there, At Kew, at Kew-in lilac time, and
 oh. so near to London. The linnet and the throst1e, too, and,
 after dark, the cry halloo! And golden-eyed sttu-whit-to- -whoo''
 of owls that ogle London. For Noah hardly knew a bird of any
 kind that isn't heard At Kew, at Kew. in lilac time, (and
 ohi so near to London.) And when the rose begins to pout
 and all the chestnut spires gre out You'll hear the rest without a doubt,

A CORNER FOR COOKS
New uses Of Candies.


 Candies are being used In many novel ways for the decoration of cakes jeIIies and frozen desserts. says the New Haven Register Chocolate cream drops Turkish paste in various davorings and colors, marshmailows and all the long list Of pepperrntnts are the candies most in use In ad- dition to the attractive arrangement. the use of the candy introduces de- lightfuI fIavors which it would be diff hcult to secure in any other way. A delicious morsel for the afternoon tea table is made by placing small chocolate cream drop in the center of a round of cake or sweet wafer. Set in a moderate oven until the candy begins to melt A delicately flavor ed chocolate frosting will be the re- suit, with center mound of sweet ness which has not entirely melted. The same process can be carried out with the little drop cakes made each little cake put a narshmalloW. Make a deep impression in the center of each naarshmaIIow and drop in bit of butter Bake until the marsh mallows spread. Remove from the oven and insert half a narasch1no cherry in each cavity.
 Squares Of sponge cake topped with raarshInaIlows, make an unusual ac- cessory at the tea table. the marsh mal1ows being allowed to melt slight ly beI0re being served. These are ex- cellent served with any plain cold dessert.
 Marshmallows soaked in any pre- ferrsd wine make a good addition to any of the ordinary jelly desserts, the color and shape of the candies show ing attractive1y in the Jelly. By clip ping the marshnaIlows with scissors dipped in flour it is possible to place the bits in pretty designs, giving an ornamental appearance to the mould of jelly. The same idea can be car rted out with a cold chocolate pud- ding, the bits of white showing to good effect.
 Turkish paste is also capable of be- ing cut In any desired form, provided the knife is dipped in flour or confec- tioner's sugar. For the decoration of small cakes or large birthday cakes the form of candy can be used to excellent advantage. and it enables the least experienced of housewives to
 exhibit an ornamental cake which would do credeit to a professional
 caterer. Whare candles are to be inserted the bits of paste can be ar ranged so as to form a special design around each candle
 Turkish paste, mint favored, is par | ticularly adapted to combine with vanilla, ice cream, and can be cut in diamonds and triangles for ornament | ing cream when served in individual glasses. The mint favored paste is
 also a pleasant addition to any of the
 popular combinations of fruit and ices
 which masquerade under many diff 1 ferent names. It gives something Of l the flavor of creme de nninthe. Cream
 pepper1nints are also used both for l flavor and decoration. They are
 made to do duty Instead of frostiug on small cakes and sweet waters and I are also broken in bits and scattered over the surface of vanilla ice cream | zs

DO BEAIx LIKE FISH
 NEED TO BE ANGLED FOR?

fsNew hope may bloom and days may
 come
 Of 1ndlder. calmer beam.
 But there's nothing half SO sweet in,
 life
 As loves youa6 dream"
 In almost every mail II receive scores, of letters from young women naively asking me in one form or another. how they may catch a beau Some n1odestly hint at the desire uppermost in their minds; others come boldly out, asking the question.
 It would seem as if those romantic young girls imagine that man. like fishes, must be angled for laugh as read the letters, noting how wide of the mark are these, girls ideas of winning hearts. The truth of the mat ter is 1t is the girls who bother their heads the least about this matter who make the richest find in the matriuo- nial field. young men, save that a girl must be modest, refuse to make acquaintances without an introduction. and, above alls not to let the young man get the idea that she is looking about for some one to fall in love with her.
 It has been said that almost any fair-loolking clever girl can win the II1eI1 S4f3 IT114A0S up nGI 1111I1Q ESE16 HCaA9S best and wants. While there may be a grain Of truth in this assertion, there is mountain of uncertainty about it. The young man for whom she sets her cap may not be heart whole and fancy. free. as she inAgines There might be a sweetheart in the background or dozen good reasons as to why he don't seek a girl to woo and wed if she but knew it.
 If there's one thing man insists upon more than another it is deciding for himself whether girl appeals to him or not. If she does, he will be eager to make her acql1ai1t brav-5 ing all opposition. Should she not touch that mystic golden chord that sets his heart thrilling, he will be courteous if brought in contact with her, but all her b1andishm ents to make an impression upon him will be un- ayailing. It is the man who considers that he must fish for sweetheart.
 He generally makes his selection ere he casts his line for the prize he has set his heart on. This is simply an H. lustration. There are many girls who will understand the force Of this ar gument when pointed out in this way Beauz resent being chased after In speed to get away. Not one in a. hun- .dred is caught by the fair wolld9be captor. Heart mating is much more serious than these girls would sup pose. It means a lifetime of happi-s ness or disappointment, flor there is no cure Girls, let men do the wife choosing They seldom make a bung1e of the right and custom which has been. theirs for years.

 It is very rude of the young man to endeavor to attract your attention and stare at you to say the least. Girls should pay no attention to the fellows who try to scrapes acquain taIcea with them on the street They are pre- sumagbly not Of the class respectable naidens should know. A young man who Is honestly snitten with a. modest girl will conceive to secure an intro duction to her some way, somehow.
