Orange Jelly

This is very light and nourlshing, and
II can often be taken by a person who
would refuse boiled egg or a custard
One-quarter ounce of gelatine, the juice
Of two oranges, IL ounces of lump sugar
one new-laid egg, one-quarter pint OF

Cut the oranges open, strain their Juice
and put 1t in with the gelatine and water.
Let the whole heat till the gelatine is
melted, then remove the pan from the
fire. Beat the egg up very well. Allow
the gelatlne mixture to cool and then
pour 1t on to the egg, stirring briskly all
the time. Have ready a mold which has
been dipped in cold water, pour the Jelly
into this and put 1t aside till 1t Is set.
II is a very good plan to make a Jelly
OF this kind in small cups, so that the
invalid may have one cupful at time.
When large mold has been cut It looks
spoilt but this win not keep good more
than day or two in hot weather.

''I Just ran In to congratulate you, my
dear! read your engagement in last

used TO know him real well once. We ran
around together for year or so. but
was engaged to Billy at the time and
he was so Jealous! But know you and
Bob viii be happy. We used to get along
beautifully"
And with this encouraging nnish to the
song OF her conquests our pretty little
Dora skips across the street. Dora is a
harmless. even brainless. little thing; but
she leaves behind her heart saddened
by her chatter Tho little bride-to-be is
unhappy. What II Bob really is a trifer?
What II he really did have bad case
on Dora and only loved her out OF pique?
Worse still what If his love is only a
passing whim? These questions cast a
shadow over two innocent people, and
cause a misunderstanding, or even two
broken hearts. And all because foolish
little girl has not learned to tell the
vast difference between mans atten-
tions and his love,
Dora is the kind of girl who leaves
path OF broken hearts behind her. Tho
great majority OF them are masculine
hearts, some easily mended, perhaps, and

She seeks them out, and deliberately
plans within her pretty head to take them
away. The man who can be 30 easily
won over Is doubtless better lost, but that
doesn't spare the Etri he leaves behind
himI
Dora always makes a point OF telling
tho girl who goes with one man that
she has discarded him. The truth OF the
matter may have been that he took her
out occasionally, and that was all One

WHAT A MOTHER HAS TO GO
THROUGH.
Dark days must come-days when her
cup of anguish Is fiIled to overhowing
at the sight of beloved child sick and
suffering, when even a mothers care
seems to avail nothing, and all she can
do is TO watch-and-wait.
But Joy, far exceeding that OF any
other Joy is hers when that child Is
given back to her from the dread Bor-
derland, and the weak, little voice
speaks it's first words Of compassionate

The smart woman has one bead neck
lace at least to harmonize or contrast
with her gown. Beads are very popular
just now. and one shop shows a great
many black and white effects. The large
pearl necklace coming almost to the knees
is being worn. Another is of cut let,
breast length, with balls of fllgree silver
OF the same size alternating. A very
effective combination is OF Jet and crys-
tai with rhinestones. Large triangles of
the jet are used, both dull and polished,
having bizarre rhinestone centres and
bold designs on the chains. A new i'm
portation is the bandeau of dainty black
lace, lined with white net or chiffon.
This is substitute for the velvet worn
so much last season. Pendants of rhine
stone or cut Jet are fastened on these
bandeaux and make a charming sugges-
ton for the elderly woman.
