SWAMP ROSE AND WILLOW TREE.

SWAMI KOSE AND WTELOW INCE
Once there grew by river beautiful
Weeping Willow Tree and under its grace
full branches grew Swamp Rose.
Not far away in the woods grew a
large Maple Tree, which viewed with
envy the Willow because the rose bush
grew under it and with its pretty flow-
ers set off the green, sweeping branches
of the tree.
One morning the Maple said to its
brother Maple standing near, what
that pretty Swamp Rose can see In that
ragged looking Willow to admire | cannot
understand"
''Nor can l. brother" replied the
other Maple, 'for Willow has no style

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
By Laura A. kirkman.
THE MIDSUMMER
LUNCHEON MENU

There is nothing as delicious or as good
for one TO eat on a sultry summer midday
as a salad. And, fortunately, there is
nothing as easy to prepare! The house
keeper who is good manager" prepares
a quantity of boiled salad dressing at the
beginning of each week, bottles it, and
keeps it in her refrigerator to use during
the following four or FIVE days Mayon-
naise dressing is nice to serve at guest
dinners or on special occasions; but for
everyday family use the boiled dressing
is best-it is easy to make, will keep nicely
on ice, and calls for no ola considerable
saving Simple French dressing should
also be used constantly; this dressing
necessitates the use of oil, but requires no
egg yolks.
The following luncheon menu is satisfy
ingly substantial for hot day, though
light:
