Imitation Democracy.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Once upon a time I knew a woman
who was very vain. And what do
you suppose she was vain Of?
Not of her looks, her clothes, her
handsome husband, her home, her
children, her cooking, or any of
those things that the average woman
prides herself upon. No, this woman
was vain of her democracy.
She said she was a democrat to the
core, and she was always talking
about her dislike of snobbery, and her
love of democracy. And this democracy
she demonstrated in two ways-by be-
ing painstakingly rude to people whom
painStakingly rude to people whom
she fancied thought themselves above
her in the social scale, and by going
Sometimes to the moving picture show

Strangely enough, her maids were
not as devoted to her as one would
expect.
Perhaps they were ungrateful, or
perhaps-well I'll let you judge from
the following what the trouble was.
A maid who had once lived with
this woman came to live with neigh
Dor of mine. Her former employer
name was mentioned one day by my
neighbor who admires her, and the
maid did not seem enthusiastic.

neighbor.

Old Potato Dishes-At this time of
year when the new potatoes" are
rather expensive and we probably
have old ones still on hand, a few
ideas as to using them and having
them taste well may be well received.
Pare old potatoes and let stand in cold
water an hour. This time of year they
have lost a great deal of their moisture
and this will make them much better.
Cut in cubes, boil in salt water until
tender, pour off water, cover with
rather thin white sauce" and sprin-
kle finely cut parsley over the top.
If prepared carefully they will taste as
good as new ones. Pare old potatoes
let stand in cold water an hour, boil
until tender. salt and fry until a nice
brown in a pan with ham. Then with
the fried ham and potatoes serve let
