ToDAY's POEM

I planted a garden of dreams one day, nd into each crevice the sun dropped
 a ray, In the spring of my life my dream
 blossoms blew Out into their fu11ness, in bright calm
 they grew, Tia1 life stretched it's hand and
 crushed out their breath, And where had been hope was the
 shadow of death. Tween the fingers of that grim mys-
 terious hand Some pollen escaped, and the weary
 years spanned, TAnd I aged on alone, with the echoes
 airing .Ip my ears, faint and old. of that sIumbering spring, Till saw there beneath me. though
 with stems brown and bare, These buds of my youth, with their
 color still fair.

There Is q touch of braid on almost every tailored skirt that counts for anything, especially when 1t is intend ed for separate wear. Sometimes 1t is just an applique of braid: again, it is an elaborate design stitched with nar- row soutache. rat-tan braid
 An exceedingly attractive skirt ia shown in tcday's Home DressnaEins lesson. It closes to the left of center front under a pleat and is made with . high waist-Iine. If desired the ap- piled yol<es on front and back gores may be omitted. The skirt is four piece model.
 For medium size 3K yards of A. inch material are required. Serge, cloth. cotton gabardine, linen are the materials best suited to the develop ment of this skirt.
 The length of the skirt may be regu- lated in. the cutting. for there are many women who do not care for the very short models. The front and back gores, as well as the front yoke. are laid along the fold of the material, 1engthwise. before cutting, so that no seam will be necessary. Almost In the center of the goods, between the front and back gores, the side gore is ar ranged, and to the right of this the back gore is placed, both Of the latter being on a lengthwise thread.
 The small "'o'' perforations in the gores show how they may be cut off for the short skirt
 Despite the fact that they are noa universally worn, the new wide skirts must be short to have dist1nctiveness With these designs are worn beauti- fully shaped pumps and buttoned shoes.

 Did you ever hear of the odd super stitions in regard to marriage which troubled the breasts of. young women of ancient lore? Courtshtps were sell dom of long standing. If the young couple met early in the new year and mutual admiration merged into love, the sweetheart confidently expected that he would make her an Easter bride.
 The making of her wardrobe and the household linen which was to be an important part of her marriage DOT tion was duly placed under way, even | though he had not as yet proposed and put the betrotha1 ring on her finger. To be welded in early spring was ev- cry betrothed maiden's ambition, for such marriages were supposed to pos Esess all the clements of luck forever after"
 Surely it is a pardonab1e hope for her to cling to- No wonder this sea- son of all others has so much to rec onmend it..

It is but a step to the glorious warmth of summer. and l the dainty lowered mu1ls and berib- Iboned organdies can transform even the plainest faced winter girl into a summer beauty, at least in her lovers leyes.
 Tradition has it that Easter brides are always loyal, loving and true, mother large families of sturdy sons and beautiful daughters, are prudent, excellent housewives, and women of broad sympathies
 I What more perfection could any man expect in a wife? There are girls who are not averse to being made a bride at any time, but if they were asked what time of the year really has
 her preference they would answer un- ihesitatingly: "Eastertime is the hap piests brightest and blithest time of all the year. would like to be an Easter bride" There are men, too, who still hold to the old traditions of their fore fathers. They look about for a charm ing spot to build a little cottage just
 big enough for two. which can be made
 ready for the reception of an Easter
 bride. How we'll the poet knew the
 hearts of men when he gave to the world the important lines:
 '.In the spring a young mans fancy
 Lightly turns to thoughts of love-
 Men who marry in the lucky spring time are hardly considered to be those who are marrying in haste to repent

 hope and ambition to start up new en- terprises. He is not hanpered by
 having to sit by the f1reside, heap on
 coal or find his rooms chilly. He can

IS IT JUST TO
 ASK HIM TO VISIT?
Dear Miss Ldbbey:-

DearsNTiss Libbey:-
 am a girl of IS and have gone with a. young man three years older. He never lived here. I have written to him nearly three years. He says he loves me, always has since he first saw me. He also says he is coming to see me this fall. I have not seen him for two years. Do not think care for him more than as a friend. He is a. jolly, good boy, works hard, earns good wages and spends it as fast as it is earned. Is it proper for him to come to see me? Could I learn to like him better? Do you think any ones life would be happy with him? Is 1t just to ask him to visit me? Am I to keep on writing him?
 After being in each others company all that, time, writing to him, as many years, and now no nearer and dearer to each other. do, not know what to advise. I think you can do better and not fare worse. If he cares to visit you it is not strictly necessary for you to write and invite him time and again. If you do hot like him very well you won't be apt to learn to like him.

Pepper Relish.

In the fall when new pickles are made they are eaten with a great rel ish which is less apparent during the winter, but in the spring again there is a craving for something sour and piquant. It is an easy matter to make a. jar of pepper relish at this season. Buy half a dozen green mild peppers such as are used for salads and for stUf1ng and baking. Chop the peppers and three medium sized onions finely, pour on boiling water to cover and let stand five minutes. Drain and add one-half cup of sugar, one level tablespoon of salt and three quarters cup of vinegar Cook to- gether about 15 minutes

CUTTING THE OTHER FELLOW OUT

Dear Miss Iibbey:-
 I am a girl of 1s, considered very pretty. go with a. young man three years my senior, but he lives out of town and only comes once a month He says he loves me and can never marry any other girl. But do not love him. There is another fellow in my home town who wanted to go with me, but I refused him because I did not want to have two friends, but I like him and could learn to love him, and now am sorry r refused him. He told a girl friend of mine he loved he also wanted her to make a date with me. What shall I do?

 It is best to be honest and true; And to always be off with the old love, Blanche,

 1t is possible, of course, to pre- serve entrants in honey according to the same recipe without the removal of the seeds, but the preserve thus obtained is not nearly so delicate as when the seeds are removed.

In this way there is no fear of curdling and 1t requires but one cooking utensil, which is a great advantage, and can also be mixed any length of. time be- fore using, doing away with the use of soda, also, which man dislike and which is often overdone.

Currants.

Bar-1e-Duc entrants. an article of commerce often made with honey, sell for a relatively high price, in part no doubt because of the large amount of labor involved in pFepar- ing them. The seeds are rem moved from the entrants by a method which mutilates the fruit very slightly; the fruit is then preserved in honey or sugar sirup. Those who wish to take the time to preserve entrants in this way will find that a convenient way to remove the seeds is to cut a. small slit in the side of each currant and
 remove the seeds by smeans of a needle. After this is done, weigh the entrants and take an equal weight of honey. Bring the honey to the boiling point, add the entrants, and allow them to cook at the boiling point for two or three minutes, or un- til the skins are tender, being care
