ToDAY9s POEM
THE FLOWER aEVERLAsTTNG.' .''

THE FLOWER EVERLASTING" G. Shy flower that aye delights to grace es A desert place, And glorify the thankless stones With golden crowns and cones. While in the meads thy sisters fair
 Thy bounty share Of wind and dew and sun, content With whate'er good be sent, Some corner narrow and obscure
 Dost choose, secure From sudden grasp of hand unlzind That oft thy sisters find; Woeldst rather safe be than admired
 And so retired, Those charms to lovers only show That rocks hide from a foe. Nature denies the haunting scent
 To others lent, Instead sh0 gives thee longer stay Than beauties of 9 day.

Soupruadne.

In making cream of tomato, corn, spinach or any other vegetable cream soup, it is a good plan to thiekeu the soup before straining the vegetable Then one straining will remove the thick parts of the vegetable unsuitable for soup and will remove any lump from the thickening.
 Remember in mixing a cream soup to pour the meat or vegetable Iisuid on the milk to avoid curdling. AL ways pour the tomato mixture nj fhs milk in cream tomato soup Many cooks do not use soda in mixing toma- to soup for they say that when the tomato is poured on the milk there is no danger of curdling- HoWeveE. a. pinch of soda is a safeguard.
