A garrulous attorney was arguing
a technical case before judge in I'LL

desultory way that 1t became difficult
to follow his train Of though and the

twice.

KEEP A YOUTHFUL PROFILE.

Few women are familiar with their
profiles.
Have you never started with sur.
prise when the proofs of your photo
graphs came home and among them
was a profile picture?
! am sure it almost seemed to you
as though you were looking Al an un-
known face. You never noticed be-
fore that your checks we're sagging a
bit: that your chin has lost fits round
ness; that there was a tell-taje
wrinkle just in front of your ear and u
rather deep dent behind 1t.
The age at which the profile OF n
woman is at its best is between 25
and 80. At this time she still retains
her youthful outlines. but her profile
distinctly shows character After 30
her features begin to change, but the
change is so gradual that for at least
ten years not even her dearest friend
hardly notices 1t.
You cannot help your features
changing. as every thought and ex-
perience OF your life imprints itself
upon your face. as surely as the sun
prints your face on the Photographic
negative But with care you can
make this change add a richer and
tuiIer beauty to your countenance.
II takes woman a long while TO
realize that her exquisite eyes must
grow smaller as she grows heshier

less when she allows herself to worry

No verarda is complete that is not
decorated with flowers. Flowering
vines growing about the posts OF the
veranda are attractive. Climbing roses
and other vines can be trained over
lattices that can be ordered to at any
space. Jardinieres of heavy pot
terry in browns or blues or green's can
be kept filled with field fowers-dais-
les, buttercups, wild asters, or golden
rod, each in its appointed time Other
bowls and Jars and vases, OF plain
glass or OF heavy pottery, can be
filled with garden flowers for the YER

Sauce for Asnaraaua.


Many there are who insist that. as

attempt to add to its flavor detracts
from It, and that little melted but
tex pepper and salt are the only ad-

palates demand change, and the adj

gives much change to asparagus that

sauce should be rather thick for as
