 1t seems to have taken yoiI a long time to find out the dedciencies Of the girl who has wasted the best sweet est, most golden years Of her youth in waiting patiently TOT you to pro- pose marriage.

 am sure when I I4elI you what they had. you will wish you had been there. am sure I do. Mother made some tea, cambrie tea I think she called it, and they had sandwiches, jam, sponge cake and. last of all, the cherry pie. Just as they were through the kitten came and Nellie fed it sponge cake and gave it a saucer of milk which it seemed to enjoy most of all.
 When father came home Nellie told him all about the party and said they had a. surprise for him and he would know at dinner time. Father laughed and said: "I saw some nice cherries down town
 Nellie looked at her mother and al most. gave the secret away by laugh ing, but she put her hand over her mouthsand ran out of the room. Then they sat down to eat and pretty soon in came the pies. Nel1ie's little one and mothers big one.
 Of course they each had a piece of Nel1ie's pie and father looked at mother and said: Pretty soon you will have to let Nellie make all the pies, That pleased Nellie very much and she said she would help mother agaen.

Aluminium Ware.

The attractive appearance, light
weight and the durability of a good
quality of aluminium have brought this
ware into public favor. 1t is claimed,
too, that food does not burn as easily
in an aluminium utensil as in those of
other ware. Aluminium, however,
stains easily, thus its first good
appearance is somewhat hard to keep
up. Even water containing an alkali
or iron will tarnish it. This comes
off with whiting or any cleansing
powder that is free from alkali. Strong
lye cleansers must not be used upon
it. and when it is necessary to scrape
it the scraping should be done with
a wooden spoon. A mild acid will also
remove stains from it. such as tart
apples or sour milk boiled In the dish
Aluminum's one great fault is that it
will not stand excessive heat, especial
ly the poorer grades,
