IE val OIW IWIIHSIAND1NG warnings IENE innumerab1e, green apples lA still continue to be eaten, and will no doubt be as long as each summer they appear to lure man kind with their pungent odors and tempting hues.
 Cooked, a green apple is no more dangerous than one that has ripened in the sunshine of the later summer, and the little harvest apples that are now to be found in every market and cor ner grocery store, make some of the most delicious summer dishes that can be invented.
 The little windfalls that may be picked up on almost any country road just now make the best of apple sauce. With just a mere dusting of nutmeg over the surface, it is irresistible
 Then there are the sliced apple pies, the fritters, fried apples, and dozens of other good and wholesome delica- cies, all of which have the inexpen- sfve little green apple for their foun- dation.
 Apple sauce should be made of the unpeeled apples. Never remove the skins of harvest apples when making this dish, for the best of the flavor lies so close to the peels that it is lost in paring Cut the apples in quarters and remove the cores and any spots that may be present; put them on th e fire, just covered with cold water ana cook till they may be mashed easily Then press through a sieve, sweeten to taste, and cook for five minutes longer Flavor with cinnamon, nut meg or lemon peel. if you wish, though the apples are usually highly favored enough in themselves. If fla voring is used, let it be mere sus- picion. This is delicious used as a D filling for sponge cake and freshly served with cream.

E5l FRY often the girl betw cen four l&N teen and seventeen or eighteen l years of age is much annoyed
 at having her face covered with freckles. This is quite usual in boys and girls in early youth and should not be any cause for anxiety or ~Forry-aa The girl, . with 8 flair com siexion is the particular victim of the freckle complaint, for the sun often affects light skin in this way instead of tanning it, as it does to darker skins.
 Just why these light brown marks of health should be so scorned js an open question, as they are usually more becoming than not. But the fact remains that most girls look upon freckles as the greatest bar between them and good looks. In their anxiety to rid themselves of these brown beauty marks" they go to the most ridiculous and often dangerous ex- tremes-dangerou indeed in many cases, for scores of lovely skins have been ruined by the use of so-called freckle removers. These patent medi- cines are almost always. harmful.
 If the girl who thinks she is af- shicted by freckles will only give her self few years they will probably wear away. In most cases freckles fade away entirely after the eighteenth year. But if she is too impatient to
 
 common sense to use homemade and not patent remedies. A great many of the patent removers of freckles con tain either bismuth, which is apt to blacken the skin. CT mercury or lead, which are active mineral poisons.
 A few homemade remedies for freckles are given below, but it must be remembered that anything which will remove freckles must necessarily be of an acid and astringent nature, and too frequent usage may result in later life in sallowness and wrinkles, which are much worse than freckles-
 The juice of a lemon squeezed into half a glass of water applied two or three times day will fade the freckles away.
 A fresh horseradish root, grated very fine, should be covered with fresh buttermiIk and allowed to stand over night The next morning this should be strained through a fine cheesecloth and the face should be washed in the resulting liquid night and morning.
 Another preparation can be made from two ounces of lemon juice, one dram of confestioner's sugar and half a dram of powdered borax. These should be mixed and allowed to stand for four or five days, being we'll shaken every once in while. Then apply with a camel's hair brush two or three times day.

 "I'm no great shakes, but Lord! My mother thinks I'm some smoke in the big city. She isn't behind when she thinks I need scolding, but she can see more good in me than anybody else can, I guess. I'd hate to do any thing to make her lose faith in me. But I'll betcha if I did make some big mistakes, mother'd stand by me. She'd believe the good in me would come out somehow.

HIS UACATloN
BY MRS. McCUNE.

lTI Es, got all tired out and half IkAI sick and nervous as the dick tA ems, but I didn't dare take. a
 regular Vacation,'' the man with the iron gray hair was saying My family said I was getting impos- sible. So one. day just packed my grip and took the train to go and see mother over Sunday.
 Didn't even telegraph her I was coming. Sure, I knew mother'd be there! She hardly ever goes away from home any more since fathers rheumatism got so oakland they're both pretty old now. I wanted them to come up to. the city and live with us, but shucks! They say they want to stay out in the old village where they were born and raised, till they die. And as long's they're happy there
 .'But as I was saying had just got to that point where I wanted to see mother. I guess a man doesn't ever quite get over that feeling. I knew mother'd be glad to see me, no mat ter what shape I was in, nor what time I came. I wouldn't dare break in on any of my brothers or sisters like that-Lord no! I'm fond enough of them, and they're fond enough of me. but it stands to reason they don't feel just the same as your mother does to- ward you.
 "I got there pretty late at night, but l went right up to the house and twisted the handle of the old bell. It didn't any more than tink1e, but be- lfeve me! mother heard it and stuck her head out of the window. Who's there?'' says she.
 Its me-, says I.
 Why, Jim, you blessed boy says mother, and the next thing heard her pattering down the stairs, and the front door was opened, and she was hugging me to her fanneIette dress ing gown. Gee, it felt good!
 Pas asleep she said, 'so don't make any noise. Come into the kitch- en and I'll make you cup of tea
 "And. there was homemade bread big slabs of it, and homemade butter and jam, and mother bustling around just beaming at me. Lord, it makes a fellow feel good.
 "I could only stay over Sunday, but it did me more good than a regular vacation, with mother fussing around same as if I was boy, and bossing me and telling me how to behave and spelling me and cooking the things she knows I like. Of. course, father was there. too. and we had a good talk

 come by the use of stickform stencils, which any woman can use in making her own stencil patterns. It can be used on any fabric, and it iB claimed the colors will wash.

 blown about the heroine's face in fragrant strands" had entirely vanquished those former ideals which obtained in the days when our grand mothers prin1ly parted hair was i'm mortalized by the daguerreotypist. Nowadays, however, the glossy head has regained it's former prestige, and more than ever before must locks be smooth and shining BrilIiantine- that oil so often poured on troubled waves-is being riva1ed in effect by an old practice revived. In every smart French hair-dresser's shcp are lengths of fine, supple silk to be seen in con- stant use. With these the hair is stroked and rubbed until it shines with an almost metallic brilliance, quite different from the smooth shine given by brilliantine. As well as giving a satiny surface to the hair it is said to be most beneficial, for silk is full of electricity, and this promotes the growth of the hair.

 Here are two good ones: Lie on the floor with the feet under some heavy piece of furniture, such as 8 chiffonier, and lift yourself to a sit ting posture without the help of your arms or hands. Hang from the top of the door by the finger tips until you drop and time yourself to note your daily progress in endurance. Much also depends on the general health.

I" NE of the exercises which many H5N women practice every day to l prevent the appearance of
 double chin is very simple, but of great value in reducing any signs of superhuous flesh beneath the throat. This is simply to throw the head back as far as possible and thrust the jaw out at the same time. In this way the whole chin is stretched and drawn out taut. Then, keeping the chin in this position, the head is turned first to the right and then to the left
