She does not know where she is or

 girls who are entised into accepting
 joy rides with young men whom they
 have but recently become acquainted. Her mother heart is heavy with ap- prehensions. If she has been dth1dent about speaking of ife's dangers to her girl, in these moments of anxiety and worry she regrets 1t bitterly. She re- alizes as never before that she should have encouraged her daughter to have made confidante or her as to whom she met and all the incidents that oc- eurred while she was out with her friends She should have entered into the youthful spirit of the girl, laugh ing interestedly with her over the amusing incidents and explaining kindly and gently when she discov-s cred that her child might be turning her face in the wro-fg direction

THE LITTLE BITS THAT HELP.
Slight Savings That Make a Difference
 in the Family Expenses.

|
 Somebody has said that many Amer lean families waste enough to keep a French family. Whether or not there lis waste which is sufficient to keep a whole French family is hard to de- termine. but it is an undeniable fact that many housekeepers do not use all the materials that might be used. ma- terials that are now hlIinE our gar bage paiIs. says the Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger.
 To begin with. there are the apple skins. What IhouseWife saves them for vinegar. jelly or fruit sirup? The apple should be carefully washed and peeled, all bad or rotten parts should be removed. If the fruit peels are to be used for jelly or fruit juice or. sirup they should be boiled until tender and then strained through the jelly bag.
 The best plan is to boil the fruit down
 to 8 sirup, sweeten and bottle it. The
 fruit sirup can be used for gelatine
 buildings, especially tapioca.
 In making apple sauce it is not nec- essary to pare the apples. Wash and core them; boil until tender and mash through the co1ander; sweeten as usu- al. This method of cooking gives the flavor, and also has the advantage of saving the housekeeper's time and waste Of the apple.
 Then there are the celery leaves If cooked exactly as other greens, boiled in salt water, chopped slightly and sea- soned with butter, salt and pepper, they make delicious, edible and nu- tr1tious dish. By saving the leaves from two three punches of celery washing them carefully and placing them in glass jar in the ice box un- til ready to use you soon have enough for small savory dish of celery. II these leaves were not used in this way they can be dried and placed in 9 glass jar. When one is making soup, if suspended in bag, they give a delicious flavor.
 Parsley can be used in the same way. OId-fashioned househeepers used always to dry all summer herbs, and sven some of the summer vegetab1es for winter soup making. Then there is the bit of meat or gravy. Did you ever try thinning it down and chop ping the meat up in it, adding the left overs from the dinner the evening before, for soup for lunch.
 The really economical housewife brings every scrap of bone which she pays for home. as well as the trim mangs of the meat, and uses it in the soup. No other than Mrs. Rorer said that she did not believe that all the soup she had made in her 30 years of housekeeping had ever cost her a cent.
 Then there is the bit of red and green pepper which many housewives throw away, as well as the pepper seeds, which can also be dried and added to the soup herbs. A slice of grated rind of lemon is great addf- tion to the soup pot, and so on in- definite.

FROM THE GOLDEN BOOKS.

 .sNon Ebur Neque Aureun'; An ode
 Of Horace. (TransIation of John Osborne Sar-
 gent: '.Horatian Echoes;''
 No ivory or gold, Tn my abode on fretted ceilings gleam
 Nurnidsan marbles hold On lofty columns no Hymettian beams
 Not as an unknown heir Do the wealth Of Attalus assume;
 Nor splendid purpIes wear That noble clients weave in Spartan loom.
 But plain integrity Is mine. and talent Of a liberal vein;
 And humble though I be The wealthy seek me and my friends remain.
 And now for nothing more Do the gods entreat nor powerful friend Beg to increase my store; With one small Sabine faun my wish es end.
 Day chases after day. And the new moons go on to want and die;
 But as life slips away You. at death's door, carved blocks of marble buy;--
 For you the shore lacks room. You push the banks at BaIae on the wave;
 Regardless of your doom. You build palace and forget your grave.
 Nay more. necessarily You rage the landmarks of your neighbours grounds;
 Though they your clients be, With greed insatiate you o'erIap theil bounds.
 Tn foreign clirnes to roam Their gods and children to their bo- soms held,
 From the ancestral home The wretched wife and husband are expelled.
 Be sure no gilded hall More certainly it's affluent lord awaits
 Than one reserved for all Bounded by grasping Pluto's prison gates.
 Why more, irnpartiaIIy Doth earth the dust of prince. and pauper hold, Release from Charon. with all his wits and gold.
 Proud Tantalus, and all His race, in strictest duranee he re- ] strains;
 Called. or without a call, He speeds the poor, absolved from all | their pains.
