A An eye of deepest blue,
 A doublet of the Lincoln green
 No more of me you knew, my love-
 No more of me you knew
 When a bevy of country cousin girls land at their listless stay-at-home kin folks place in the heated city quarters, hurn-drurn of life is changed in twinkling into delight, stir and bustle. They settle down in chairs at the hos pitable table spread, and chattering all at once, commence to unfold their plans of packing up their pretty frocks and belongings and hieing away to the shore for a jolly time, where they can
 ningle with young men and women summer visitors.
 The city girls join in with the pro- jest and in less than it takes to tell-1t the happy naidens are off with them, bag and baggage, bent on going some where to enjoy life, to meet and be met, by marriageable1 young persons on vacation days.
 Sunshine seems made for them, laughed few passersby, as they mo- ticed the girls under the influence of summer. skies, out in the open, 1oung- ing on the grassy plots with grace and picturesqueness Groups Of reg1nenr boys pass sby them, noticing the brown, girlish arms that entwtne around their girl cousins, as they lounge presently in the sand, just as though they didn't care much whether school kept or mot. Dashing along chipper and jovially, as the girls noticed, then halting an in stant, they were suspected of having a. camera. hidden beneath a coat. The girls scampered in an opposite diree- tion, thinking they would be lost to sight, and sang in silvery tones: The world, and all, is mine today.
 The girls on beach or wooded banks have one advantage over their rural Si< IS I10 | lounging about those cool borders, and pretty girls without number abound. But there is more than one young wo-
 man who is unsatisfied and who bouts
 because the city is so near and her
 adorer will. have chance to go there every day. So she dips in the washing waves, and frets to come otlt-never really happy until 6 p. m.. when the longed-for boat comes in upon which he usually comes. ] Young men vote the new visitor as charming in her simple frocks. She l is her natural self, not embarrassed. She will play tennis, row, or swim with you in the morning. She will pile in with the girls and drive off in a dog cart in the afternoon, or will ride along shady lanes just at twilight. If she leans across in her saddle, hands you a rose to fasten in the lapel of your coat, you, like as not, wonder how you ever managed to exist before you met her.
 Later on. when you know her well enough tp sit beside her on a rustic I seat. under a red umbrella, and read poems aloud. you suddenly realize she's the only girl you ever loved. She doesn't take those words to heart. x It is understood. by some girls as well as quite a few bachelors, that summer engagements do not always go. The year round is for 1narriageable man to meet and propose.

WOMEN WHO FosE AS MEN


 Everyonce in q few days one readsain the newspapers of some case of woman who has disguised her self in men's clothes. ands has glne to work at some position comnonly filled by a man. Probably there are many more cases of these disguises that are never discovered or at least never made public.
 To many women with courage and physical strength, the Limitations still thrown about their sex seem not merely absurd but unjust. They feel perfectIy comp petentsto run street cars build bridges or dig ditches if need be- They see that nothing prevents their learning a man S pay at some. strenuoEA occupation. except the acci- dent Of sex For this they were in no wise responsib1e.

RoYAI MARRIAGES

The first royal marriage performed. according to the liturgy of the Church of England, was that which united Elizabeth Stuart eldest daughter Of James VI Of Scotland, to Frederick V. EIector of the Palatinate Of the Rhine and ruler of those rich Rheinish prov-s tnces which are now so important a part of the kaiser's dom4nions. EIlza-> beth was born 319 years ago today, August 19, 1596. and was Is when she became the bride of the German prince. In 1919 theIBohemians re- .volted against the emperor of Ger many and offered the throne of Boz. hernia to Frederick. He was inclined to refuse the proffered honor. since it would bring him into conflict with the forces of al great empire. but EIiz- abethi longed to be a queen, rather than a mere electresss and urged her husband to accept. Frederick was at length induced to assume the royal title, but his reign was brief. The couple were soon driven from Prague. and losing all. found refuge in The Hague, where they were indebted to charity for a home, although in her. latter years the deposed queen receiv- ed a pension from England. Through the youngest daughter of Frederick, and Sopria. the present British royal family came to the throne.

You can do this also with any trllit yous pItase. Blackberrtes and rasp- berries are just as nice for it, I think, as gooseberries.
 Put half a pint of berries. with sugar to taste, into a pint Of water, and let them simmer very gently for 10 minutes. They must not be allow ed to break if you can help it.

RED GoosEBERRY MOULD.

This ought always to be made with red or pink fruit, for it looks dull when it is done with green. The tn- gradients are:
 One pound of gooseberries. sugar to taste, one pint of water. four ounces sage. =
 Soak the overnight tn cald water Boil the gooseberries in Che water with as much sugar as you re- quire to make them nice and sweet, When they are quite soft put them through a sieve. Stir all togtReF over. the fire till the sage is dissolved Then pour the mixture into a wet mould. Let it stand until it is set Serve with custard.
 If there is no fresh fruit to be had YOU can make this mould with one pound of agoosebernY jana. Igthink like it even better done with Jam than with the real fruit.
