 An old superstition that was cur rent during the Middle Ages was that three girls should gather on the eve of St. Magdelene. A liquid should be prepared from the rosemary of which each drinks. Without a word. they must then go to sleep. If the charm was not broken the dream of each girl would reveal her future
 Called Mary's Rose
 The name is derived from the latin, rosamarius, meaning dew of the sea, because it grows near the seashore and the leaves look silvery as if they were to the Virgin Mary and called Mary's rose.
 Spanish fairy tale deals with the flower. The king of Spain had a rose mary bush of which he was very proud. One day he was playing his flute. Suddenly beautiful girl step ped forth from the bush. Startled the king dropped the instrument and the maiden disappeared. The king inn mediately fell in love with the beauti- ful girl and when it was necessary for him to leave he gave the precious plant into the care of the head gard ener.

 Many cloth wraps, also, are being shown and are finding much favor among women visitors at the fashion show who anticipate needing an all- round utility garment. They are all elaborately trimmed in fur, however, and in many cases are even more graceful in line than the more ex- pensive all fur coats.

MODERN ILLs

An old-fashioned philosopher, after meditating earnestly on what ails the world today, recently gave vent to the following list of ills:
 Too many silk shirts and not enough blue flannel ones.
 Too many serge suits and not enough overalls.
 Too much decolete and not enough aprons.
 Too many satin upholstered limou- sines and not enough cows.
 Too much envy of the results of hard work and too little desire to emulate it.
 Too many desiring short cuts to wealth and too few willing to pay the price-Edinburgh Scotsman.

Use Easily Cleanable Table.

The work table should be plain, sub
stantial, and of such material that 1t is
easy to clean and keep in good condition.
Most kitchen tables have q shallow
drawer for small utensils, while others
have drawers, draw boards, and bins for
storing supplies. They are known as
pastry tables. Where storage space Ia
limited, the bins will be found particu
larly useful.
Unfinished wooden tables require
much scrubbing, and under constant use
become stained and unsightly. Vsrnish.
ing, or painting and enameling, the low
or parts, and covering the top with a
nonabsorbent, easily cleaned material
saves much labor in the end. Sheet
zinc Is often used on table tops. 1t
should be brought we'll over the edges
and fitted and tackled carefully so that
no water can get underneath and 90 that
no sharp edges are exposed. Zinc has
the advantage of being proof against hot
utensils, but 1t Is affected by both acids
and alkalies aud Is therefore rather hard
to keep In condition. It is not suit
able material to come In contact with
many foods, household specialists of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture say. Oilcloth is also widely used
for covering tables, but linoleum, al.
though more expensive, is far more dur
able, especially when fastened to the
table with waterproof cement.
Porcelain and glass table tops are very
attractive and easy to clean, but are rela-
lively expensive and must be used care
fully. Separate enameled- ware tops In
various sizes to fit over wooden tables
are on the market. They are very con.
venient and not expensive. Marble
topped tables have long been considered
especially good for pastry making, but
are now almost prohibitive in price, and
q polished marble slab laid on An ord-
nary table answers the purpose fully as

The theory lie advanced from time ia
time that one or two meals q day would
be preferable to the three commonly
served In this country. If the same
amount of food Is to be eaten, United
States Department of Agriculture food
specialists state that 1t is hard to see the
advantage Of two very hearty meals over
three ordinary ones.
The best physiological evidence i'm.
plies that moderate quantities of food
taken at moderate intervals are more
easily and completely digested by ordi-
nary people than larger quantities taken
at long intervals. II the food ordinarily
eaten IL considered excessive and the
aim is simply to reduce the amounts 1t
would seem more rational to make all
the meals lighter than to omit one. The
very fact that the custom Of eating q
number of meals day has 80 long been
almost universal, indicates that It must
have some advantages which instinct,
based upon experience. approves and

Grape Juice Has Various Uses.

Wise ekeepers can have plenty Of
grape juice for use not only as bever-
age but as flavoring in various tempting
desserts. The following directions for
making II are given by the United States
Department of Agriculture:
Only clean, sound, well-ripened but
These may be crushed by potato mash
or or some similar implement, or the
juice may be pressed out In an ordinary
cider mill. Pour Immediately into q
glass or ensmeled vessel and allow 1t to
stand overnight. Drain the juice from
the sediment and run through several
thicknesses of clean flannel. Pour into
clean bottles, leaving space at the top
for the liquid to expand when hot. Put
bottles on false bottom in a wash boil
or, u no commercial pasteurizer is avail
able; fill boiler with water to within an
inch or 80 Of the tops of the bottles.
Place q thermometer In one of the bot.
ties and heat until the juice reaches a
temperature of 1902; then take the bot.
ties out and seal or cork them immedi-
ately. Only new corks that have been
soaked for 80 minutes In water at a tenn
persture of about 140o should be used.
It Is we'll to take the further precsution
Of sealing the corks with psrsfin or
sealing wax to prevent the entrance of
mold germs.
Grape juice may also be made by add
ing one pint of water to every five
pounds of grapes. Concords and Niaga-
rss make an acceptable product. Crush
he grapes, add the water, bring nearly
to boiling point, and strain. Add one
half cup of graduated sugar to every
quart of juice. Bring jdst to q boil,
pour into boiled bottles or cans, place in
water bath, and boil 10 minutes; seal
alright.
Unfermented grape juice properly
made and bottled will keep indefinitely
If not exposed to the atmosphere or to
infection from mold germs. When q
bottle is once opened, however, the con-
tents should be used as soon as possible.

To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red

thirty food canteens and as many
