Use for Pineapple Earrings

An item for Frugal Housewife Do not waste your parings from pneapples. Drop them with the cores Into a granite dish, cover with water, and stew. Strain out the pieces and add as much sugar as liquid. Cook until thick like sirup, and you will have a most delicious substi- tute for real honeycomb pineaple honey. MRS J. H."
 Having eaten-and reveled in the act of the honey thus produced, l testify with pleasure to the truth of your asser- ton. And apropos of pineapple parings. housewives are too often ignorant of the value of fruit rinds. always make apple sauce of unpared fruit, and find the flavor finer, the sauce richer throughout for the parings. We all know that the meali- ness of the potato lies closest to the skin Quince jelly is best when the skins are left on the fruit. Of course apple sauce must be freed of the skins by running through a fine colander or vegetable press. It Is always nicer for doing this. Peach parings may be rejected on ac- count of the furriness, which cannot be done away with. Plum marmalade or jam takes on a pleasant piquancy if the skins be stewed with the fruit before the sugar is added. They must be strained out, and then pulp and sugar mixed together for the final cooking. These driblets of house. hold lore are never unimportant.

In Tennyson's Poem

What is the meaning of the clear call In Tennysons Crossing the Bar :? Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me-. Who called? Was 1t the angel of death or a heavenly visitant sent to carry the parting soul to heaven? The figure was never quite clear to me. Yet everybody else seems to understand it, and I am ashamed to ask questions that show my stupidity, Talking to the H. H. c. is like speaking from behind a mask.
 SERENA"
 My dear girl, if you knew how few of the hundreds who quote the line have any distinct idea of the meaning you would no longer be ashamed to confess honest ignorance. l quote from one who really knew what he was writing of: "The calling of the sea Is an old English term for a ground swell. When this occurs on windess night. the sound not only echoes through the houses near the beach but is heard for many miles around. The superstitious look upon 1t as a sum- mons to death Enoch Arden heard the one clear call in the death hour. and the poet represents 1t as coming to him self in Crossing the Bar" The explana- ton lends beauty and force to the figure.

By DOLLY DALHYMPLE

~ OMEBoDY told me little story the other day that put me to thinking. NJ It had to do with two women who went on a vacation.
 They went to a place where there were trees and birds and flowers and the sea- an alluring spot, to be sure; an ideal sum- mer resort.
 When they arrived they met some other women friends and very merry time was planned.
 One of the women who worked in a large sewing establishment. had been looking forward to the vacation for a long time-in fact, all the year. Every morning after she got to the place she went down to the beach, enjoyed the bath and the sunshine and then she'd go back to the little hotel where they were stop ping, sit in the shade on the porch and listen to the birds a-snging, and in the afternoon she would go for sail, then retire early, only to begin the recreation the next day with the same happy spirit as the day before
 To her. it seemed an enchanted palace. To have leisure was perfect boon. She noted the different minds of birds and flowers. especially the old-fa shioned ones which she loved so much. She enjoyed the sunsets and their riot of color, for she never had any chance to see any sum- sets, shut up as she was in the sewing establishment in one of the big skyscraper department stores in the city.
 She started back after two weeks with a vigor that bespoke new hopes, new ambitions better work and a happier winter.
 The other woman-a buyer in a big shop, had an entirely different idea of vacation and spent it accordingly. She returned home with a trunk full of trim kets. Her vacation was spent in hunting souvenirs. She went from shop to shop in the little resort buying this and buying that, and the other thing that she might or might not use some day.
 Once she stopped to have her fortune told by a big, brown looking creature with strings of beads about her neck and big gold hooped earrings in her ears. sit ting back In stuffy little tent where the mosquitoes swarmed like flies.
 A couple of times she dipped into the ocean, because friends were doing so, but most of the other time she was so busy

roofing about looking for souvenirs tha she didn't notice that there were al, birds or flowers or trees or sunsets Up stairs in her room, however, she had , trunk full of treasures" Every nigh she would look over her days shoppin and regret not having bought certai bargain she had seen.
 When it came time to go back to tn city this woman was tired to death.
 She had bought everything that he meagre allowance would permit.
 She did not regret leaving and she wa really glad to go home.
 She looked forward with dread an despised the thought of the shop.
 She had changed her work, you see, onl in scene.
 In fact she had worked harder and ex pended more energy than she did at home
 She had not relaxed one single moment except when she was asleep.
 I began to think.
 Yes, that's the sort Of thing that hap pens to lot of us.
 Many, many people take just this sor of vacation and I began to wonder
 Which kind is yours?
