FOOD In Scotland.

Now that the Scottish holiday sea
son is just about TO begin there is a
controversy in the north as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies of Scotland
for their patrons from England. 1t
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and hat some of the southerners re-
sent this. they want more vegeta-
bles, fer instance. and a greater va.
rtety of them, They demand turnp
tops Ga luxury rarely consumed north
of the Tweed, save by sheep. and
ask, Why no spinach" Also they
want heavy supper, likewise beer.
The complaining controversialists
say 1t is a case of ham and eggs for
breakfast, a midday dinner and a high
tea to conclude the meals of the day.
As for beer, they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts Look
askance at people who wish beer Sent
In. So far the only reply of Scotland
to the fault.hnders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat what
the Scots eat and get their beer out

or Less of Drudge.

'Pm glad m not the Oldest" re-
marked a pretty girl to her chum
why, Susan has to do almost every
thing at home; father thinks she ought
to take the burden of housekeeping
off mothers hands, and my brother
wants her to wait on him as If she

Too often the Oldest daughter is

for the girl whose labors take the
place of a maid. She is expected to
run errands, help with the care and
amusement of the children, teach
them lessons. What wonder that

some households she is beloved and
respected, at the same time expected
TO fulfill whatever duties may fall to
her lot. Her sisters and brothers are
taught that they must return any serv-

due appreciation, if nothing more, and
they soon learn that her place is an

New sunshades.

With a long directoire handle the
butterfly sunshade is developed in chif-
fon as airily as its name, and, shaped
with outspread wings, the butterfly is
traced on the gathered white material
in fine black lace touched with glisten-
ing jet. The model is more practical,
too, than the usual collection of chiffon
and the lace sunshades, as the fabrics
have been waterproofed for summer
showers.
Sunshades in fur, certainly freak

look. 1t is also to be a 1914 custom
to have a sunshade TO match the gown

An ordinary swarm in the height of
the season consists OF 10000 bees
the mother or queen, the workers and
the drones. The mother bee in the
busy time lays from three to four
thousand eggs a day; for this she has
her being. These eggs develop into
larvae, which the attendant bees feed
with bee bread. a mixture of pollen
and honey, then when the larvae have
completed this stage OF their existence
these nurse bees seal them in their
waxen cells and leave them to develop
into the insect stage-the busy bee.
From the egg to the bee requires Fl
days. The young bee acts In the hive
for few days as nurse bee and later
takes her place among the busy work
ers. The drone is the stingless and
defenseless male bee, and when his
period of usefulness is over the bees
