Looking for Poetry Market

l am widow with a small income. l should like to do something I have sometimes written verses, and have about 75 poems on hand. Do you think l can do anything with them in this city? MARY F.. S."
 With all my heart wish I could en- courage you to hope that profit might be drawn from any or all of the 75 poems. The best poetry written by new author fares badly in the hands of editor and publisher. Rhymes are a drug In the market" is a homely say ing, worn threadbare by repetition. If you have any other talent by which you may earn money honestly, do not wear out your spirits and consume time by writing verse with an eye to publica- ton. To test the soundness of my ad- vice, send the best of your poems to a literary journal and ask for a candid opinion on it's merits. It may be so good that the reader will recommend it to his chief. I hope that it may. The experi- ment is worth making. Select your periodical and commit the best poem you have to the tendeE mercies of pro- fessional reader and editor. You lose nothing by the venture. If you like, try several publications that are in the habit of giving verse place in their columns. You are not likely to make a living by your pen for many months to come should your articles be accepted and paid for from the first The field is terribly crowded.

Boiled Indian Pudding

My husband talks until am tired of listening to him of boiled Indian pud- ding with raisins in 1t that his mother used to make. I have no doubt she was a fine housekeeper. but l am rather tired of hearing about that pudding. Can you give me some idea what it might have been? CLARA H Tp
 Mix into pint of Indian meal half a pound of finely chopped suet and half teaspoon of salt Stir this into quart of scalding hot milk over the fire. Stir until it is boiling again and remove from the range Let it get cold and add three well beaten eggs, a small teacup of molasses, and half teaspoon of soda dissolved ill a tablespoon of hot water. Dredge a pound of raisins halved and seeded with an even cupful of flour and beat in last of all Boil in a covered mold three hours and serve with hard sauce. l can tes- tify to the excellence of this recipe. I trust it may be so much like your hus- bands ideal pudding that he will cease to long for former delights in that line.

Kissing at Parting

Do you think it wrong for young girl to kiss a young man good-by when she Is going away for a long visit? I hope my letter will reach you before the girl in question goes away.
 I'll. F."
 l am not sorry that it was not prac- ticable to answer your question before the girl went away. My views upon this head are decided Uuless a girl be en- gagged to be married to a man, or he is relative or much her senior and the him to kiss her. When she gives her self to the husband of her choice, she and he will be thankful that she kept her caresses for him alone. Promiscuous kissing Is indecorous and indelicate.

Berry Punch

T, too, am on the lookout for nonalco- holic beverages for summer. Can you give me directions for making strawberry or raspberry or any other bery punch without the addition of the stick upon which most men insist?
 MARGARET R." This berry punch is best made in straw berry season, but raspberries are pala- table substitutes: Strain enough crushed. fresh, ripe berries omake pint of juice. Pour this upon heapIng cup of granu- lated sugar until it has a clear srup. Add then the strained juice of a lemon and 8. quart of cold water.
