CORNER FOR COOKS
Roasted Haddock.
S@es->-@>

fHaddock roasted with sauce makes an unusual and wonderful dish," said Aunt Jane. You take a, large hsh. which has been sealed and cleaned and make short incisions on either side. Prepare a dish with salt, pep per, olive oil, lemon juice, and chop ped pars1ey-and a little thyme and chives if you have them-and place the fish in this to soak for an hour. Turn the fish often so that it will ab- sorb the sauce.
 Put the fish on a large platter and and wrap it in oiled paper. Roast in a moderate oven for 40 minutes Be move the oiled paper and brown the fish.
 Put theh sh on a large platter and pour more of the same sauce in which you have soaked the fish, around it. Decorate the fish with parsley and vegetables.

Another says, as he carries my books home, he loves me Really he shows little more affection. I can never encourage the latter one. Please advise me-
 School girls of your tender age by all means should keep their eyes on their books. Do not think seriously of the boys. Be delighted with your school and studies awhile.

Should a workingmans wife be thrifty or saving? This is the ques- ton such women are asking now ow ing to a case which has just come up in the New York courts. It has a pathetic well as 8 humorous side to it.
 It appears workingman gave his pay envelope into the hands of his wife for thirty-odd years Out of the sum intrusted to her she provided for the usbaald's daily expenses and kept up the home. By great economy, at the end of the aforesaid time, she had accumulated twelve thousand dollars unknown to her spouse. Learning by accident that she had this amount the husband immediately demanded that one-ha1f of this sum should be duly paid over to him. There are many who will claim that he should receive what he worked for those long years of toll, intrusting it into her hands, believing that what was his was hers. What was hers was half his.
 The old wife promptly took issue with his line of reasoning. She de clared that what she had eked out she was entitled to.
 Women know what she must have against want in their old age. A workingman's pay envelope. holds none too much at the best. His pay is scant at the beginning of his career. husband and wife may live very economically, but as a child comes into the home there is additional ex- pense. The family may be housed cheaply, yet rent is a big item. Food, no matter how economically purchased is aSSti1 heavier drain. Clothing costs, as do fuel and lights. The luxury of a newspaper scars into dollars at the end of a year. They cannot be their own dentist and must pay what a pro- fessionaI asks for his services. If the husband smokes his pipe. that's an when reckoned not by one year, but by thirty-odd He must send his old folks on the other side a few dollars at each Yuletide. It all counts. No matter how plainly 8 family may dress, clothes will wear out. They must cover themselves sufficiently to keep the nefghbors from talking
 feels that life isn't worth while with out a. little pleasure. The family must ride on a, street car into the country on Sundays or, go to an expensive show now and then in summer. She is scarcely feminine if she does not crave a new bonnet once in a while. The wife who can withstand these by every cent against a rainy day, is hard to find To, be his wife, she throws in her time and her work cooking, washing, housecleaning, sew ing, mending. nursing, depriving her self of all she vitally needs content edly.
 In the face of this, should she turn forts and pleasures as he went along? What is the opinion of fair-n1inded. workingmen and their wives on this all-import matter?

In Place of the Sandwich.

ttAt this season, when every, one is going to parties, folks get tired of athe usual sandwiches and rarebits," said Aunt Jane, land I take advantage Of this fact to offer something unusual, which costs me little. and thus kill two birds with one stone.
