WOMAN WHO WAITS.

I sit and wait for you, dear, my dear.
Now the sun is low;
From the far-off town the path runs clear
And the way you know
The old. old way hat brought you here
In the long ago.
1t is all very well to talk of not
being in a hurry to wed; that a young
woman should summer and winter a
year, or many more, the eager lover
who lays siege to her heart. Yet, there
are justly many sides to be considered
for those who intend to step to the al
tar some day.
Single people, especially young wom-
en-, are not sufficiently self-willed to
disregard the opinion of well-meaning
friends who instill their own expert
ences into their unknowing minds.
But when there Is a long period of
waiting in prospect, and beaux come
~a-knocking at her door, her girlish
ardor should not be checked by jolly

For the Bride to Be.

If you are looking for something
useful and yet a little different" for
the bride to be, why don't you make
her Il dozen tea napkins? There are
various ways to add hand embroidery
TO the set. Hemstitching is one way.
a %scalloped edge for each article in
the set is another, or a border of cross
stitching about three inches in from
the edge of the square will prove eff
fective. Should the latter method be
selected a little cross stitch design can
be worked quickly and effectively on
the corner Of each napkin.
Should several members of the fam
lily be on intimate terms with the
bride to be they could give a combi-
nation gift, including the linen tea set
and the china tea set. In such in
stance the linen could easily be en-
broidered in a color to match the most
prominent color of the china. A gift
so full of personal touches would be
sure to be appreciated by the recipient.

Cold storage turkeys naturally share
all the defects of other poultry treated
in this barbarous fashion. But at most
times, and especially at Thanksgiving
and Christmas, it is easier to find dry
picked turkey free from cold storage
than chicken.
For a twelve pound turkey boil until
tender two pounds Of large Italian
chestnuts. Remove the skin and mash
them as you would potatoes; mix in a
half cupful of butter, salt and pepper,
Fill with this the interior of the tur-
key; sew it and arrange for roasting as
you would a chicken. 1t should cook
about two hours. If it browns too fast
butter a piece of white paper and cover
it with it, removing it a little later.
Escarole.-The leaf of the e~scarole is
narrower than the lettuce, so much so
that the rib forms the greater part of
1t. 1t is, in fact, a coarse kind of chic
CRY. The green part of it is discarded
and the white is separated, first In
two, lengthwise, and cut up in three or
four pieces. Not being as tender as the
lettuce, it needs to be cut finer. 1t Is
prepared and dressed like lettuce.
