Its exquisite perfume; poets have sung
it's praises in every land and cline,
and at banquets under the shadow
of the Acropolis it held the place Of
love. 1t was the practical Anglo
Saxon who took the poetry all out
of the beautiful name of Fragaria and
named it strawberry, because of the
custom of placing straw under the
vines to raise the berries from the
soil. Others say it is the tiny straw
in the berry which gives it it's name.
However that may be, strawberry by
any other name would taste as sweet.
Physicians concur in placing straw
berries in their catalogue of pleasant
remedies.
The wild strawberry, picked in the
open field. where it has absorbed the
suns rays and developed it's sweet
juiciness, has a flavor unexcelled by
the choicest cultivated berry.
There are some unfortunate individ-
uals who are unable to eat this berry
without i'll effects. The reason for this
is not fully explained, says Thompson,

show any product which is peculiar to
itself" "There must be some combi-
nation of acids or other materials ex-
listing in this berry which is excep-
tionally irritating to some persons"
1t may be that they (the persons)
have digestive acid which combines
with the vegetable acid in some chem
lea! change which causes the disturb
ance.
The strawberry contains an abun-
dance of salts of potash, lime and
soda which acts upon the body secre.
tons beneficially.
The addition of dash Of red pepper
or a pinch of soda to berries for
people who have a personal idiosyn'
cracy against them will help some to
digest them without trouble. Lemon
juice is another aid to some, and for
those who suffer from fatulent dys.

special feature of the evening, the work
ing of the Rebeka degree. was taken up.
This was exemplified by Welcome Lodge

Endress of Bennington, Assembly Presi-
dent; Mrs. Bailey of Hardwick, Past
Pres; Mrs. Emma Gates of Barre, Grand

followed, after which the party returned
to their homes, all expressing themselves
as greatly pleased with the evenings en-
tertainment. For the success of the
event credit is due the various commit
tees, who were untiripg in their efforts.

How to Care for Geraniums.

To get the best results from geraniums
during the winter, they should be as rig
orously kept in the background as is the
maiden whose debut is to be a novelty
DO not attempt TO put your bedding
geraniums in the winter window garden.
They will not bloom and they viii not
get the rest they need. Instead select
plants that have gone into special train
ing 10 give an abundance of flowers in
the house. Perhaps you have not known
that geraniums for the window garden
must not be allowed to bloom in the
summer; in such case you must buy
suitable plants for this year, and profit
by these directions another season, so
as to begin in time.
The geraniums from the garden need
not be wasted. Take what cuttings from
them you need to experiment with for
new plants; then hang the old ones up
by their heels, or roots rather, in a dry,
! frost-proof cellar. BE careful as 10 the

Silk dresses should never be brushed
but should be carefully rubbed with an
old piece of velvet kept specially for that
purpose.
To prevent rugs from curling at the
corners bind them on the underside with
n piece of narrow webbing like that used
to hold furniture springs in place.
Never hang a waist or jacket by a loop
at the neck. The proper thing, of course,
Is TO use hanger, which win keep the
garment in shape; but in lieu of this
the next best thing Is to place loops in
the armholes and in hanging stretch the
garment from one hook to another.
