How toMake
Good Stew
By Hannah Wing

Why all those delectable, savory
connections called stews, which are so
appetizing on a cold, snappy day,
should be called Irish is a curious
fancy since every nation has its stew.
Stew made in the English way con-
tains beef or mutton, onion, carrot,
turnip and potato. Irish stew is made
very similar to English but always
contains potatoes. A Scotch stew is
made with lamb, small onions, pota-
toes and sometimes barley.
The Armenian calls his stew "Basdi"
and makes it from mutton, onion,
olive oil, okra, garlic, raisins and len
ills.
American stews are often. made
from the veal, but beef stew probably
remains the favorite. This is a savory
recipe:
Cut two pounds Of chuck beef into
small pieces, scar in fat and put into
a kettle with one quart of cold sailed
water. Bring quickly to the boiling
point skim and cook until tender. Add
one-fourth cup of carrot cubes, one
fourth cup of diced turnip, and one
small onion chopped fine. Season
with six allspice berries. six pepper
corns, and one-half of bay.
Twenty minutes before scrvin- the
stew. add one cup of potato diced.
Thicker with four tablespoons of flour
TO which enough cold water has been
added to make thin paste. The stew
has an even better flavor if the vege-
tables are also Drowned in fat before
adding them TO the stew.
Only chuck veal cut into two-inch
squares and whole vegetables are used
for veal stew. Consequently n little
longer cooking is required. Vegetables
which are generally used are medium
sized or small carrots, potatoes and
onions. Fifteen minutes before scrv-
ing the ste. cover the surface with
the baking powder dumplinEs.
To make the dLmplingS. measure
and sift together two cups Of flour ono
teaspoon of salt and two teaspoons OF
baking powder. Add enough sweet
milk TO put a drop" batter tabout
three-fourths of n cup Of milk. and
drop by spoonful in.o the stew. Cover
the kettle and cock for twenty or
twenty-five minutes.

The Rhyming
Optimist
Thirsty Soil.
BY Aline Michaelis

As sweet as song upon a lonely
ear as bright as lights of home when
sunbeams wane, so welcome when the
skies have joyously been clear are
shining javeline of summer rain. How
joyously the thirsty trees and flowers
stretch forth their leaves How every
emerald cup brims over with the
sparkling crystal showers and every
blade of grass is lifted up! Not only
in the blooming gardenplots where
stately rose and lovely lily nod, but
in all barren ways and checrless spots
rain brings revival to the parching
clod. Would 1 could drink loves
drafts as thirsty land drinks in the
fragrant freshness of the rain, and
give love back as earth on every hand
in leaf and blossom gives back life
again!

Yes or No?

l. Is it true that a stream purifies
itself in seven miles?
.. There is Il tradition among sail
ors that the birds known as Mother
Carcy's chickens lay their eggs on the
surface of the sea and carry them
under their wings till they are
Matched. Is there any basis for this
belief?
3. Has it ever been proved that the
passage of n severe cyclone may start
an earthquake?
Answers to these questions may be
found
l. No. The belief that stream
purifies itself in seven miles is not
based on fact. 1t is not the distance
the water goes but the opportunity it
has for sedimentation to occur and
for the bacteria to die which count.
,. No. The birds called Mother
Carey's chickens lay their eggs in
holes in the earth near the shore.
3. No. Although cyclones and
earthquakes often follow each other.
it has never been proved that one
causes the other.

Meditations of
a Wife
Tell No Woman Thy Secret
By Helen Rowland

Tell No Woman Thy Secret.
Consider the way Of a man and the
way Of woman with SECRET, my
Daughter.
For. 10. man consideretb the
guardianship of his friend secret, ss
sacred trust, even as the guardian
ship of an orphan.
But. unto a woman. secret Is as
borrowed book, which she yearreth
TO pass ON, that others may en-
JOY il.
60 to. Who is so uncomfortable as
man that hath had secret
THRUST upon him. or been asked to
hold a strange baby?
Behold. a man hearkeneth unto his
friends confidence, with reluctance.
and would gladly lock his secret away
in a safety and forget it.
But, unto n woman, secret is as
fascinating as 4 loose tooth. She
CANNOT forget ii, neither can she
lcuNc IL uioHt Dul ipiitAH IL dfOuhu
her tongue. until it slippeth out, and
she is RID Of it!
When thou accuScth n man of pos
scssing a secret, he is covered with
embarrassment and bushes and hideth
it in the back of his mind even as ne
hideth scented love-note at tue pot
tom of his desk.
But n woman is filled with pride
in possessing another's secret. even us
in the possession of becoming mole
upon the knee. She carryeth il
around boldly as gold mesh bag, and
lonseth to DISPLAY it.
A man is selfish with his own Sc
crcts and striveth to guard them jcal'
ously from other mems eyes.
But q woman is generous with her
own secrets. aud ycarneth to SHARE
them with every other woman!
Alas. secret in the mind of a
woman is as a loose pea in pod. IL
rattleth around and annoyeth her I'M
til she hath got it OUT.
But. secret in the heart of a
man is MS deeply buried as Tut-Ankh-
Amen: and thou canst only EN-
HUME it with much digging and I'M
winding.
Verify. verify, man hath been
known 10 carry secret to his
grave!

DEAR MRS BEFCKMAN:

DEAR MRS BEFCKMAN:
After spending the day with young
man, does the girl thank him? If
not. what should she say?
CO. If girl has tickets for a
dance, is it proper for her to ask a
young man to take her or. rather,
escort her? How should she express
herself.
81 If a young man has taken
Il girl out. it is proper to ask him to
call again? NJ. W. 5.
Yes. The gentleman has been kind
and thoughtful to plan for your pleas
ure and happiness, and it is polite for
you to tell him that you appreciate his
thoughtfulness. There is no reason
for holding back on Jour thank yous,
for they add to the world a most
pleasant contribution of friendly
warm-heartedness TO take the place of
the ''hard- boiled" manner in which
some people accept kind thoughts from
others.

company her TO a dance for which
she has the tickets. l think that it

FOXY CRANDPA'S STORIES
What Bobby Found in the Stone.

I'VE haven't seen one interesting
thing today" said Bobby, as we were
walking through the country.
''The day isn't over yet" said Bun
ny.
"Oh, you're always saying things
like that. Bunny" he whined.
But" l interrupted, "the joke of
it is. Bunny is nearly always right. ]
do believe he would make a good
fortune teller"
He'd always be telling good for
tunes. that's sure" said Bobby, rath-
or scornfully.
"Good fortunes are better than bad
fortunes" said Bunny.
| saw my two little friends were in
for an argument. That always hap
pens when they are tired or hungry
always when they are hungry. So j
suggested that we stop and rest for n
little while. | thought that might
help their disposition. Because l knew
that as soon as we were home and
each lad had tucked away good sup
per. they would be like two cooling
doves. That reminds me. we had some
doves once and they didn't coo nearly
as much as they quarreled. But that's
all right.
So we sat down on the edge of the
road and leaned up against the fence.
Across the road was an open space
and there in little hollow was tiny
pond.
Bobby rested for 4 few minutes, but
in the next one he was up and run
ming down to the pond with Bunny
after him.
Since Bobby didn't have his fishing
tackle with him--you know sometimes
| really believe he will try fishing in
the bath tub because water has that
effect on him-he thought that pond
was just the place in which to throw
stones.
Soon I heard the splashing Of wa.
ter and Bobby was Swimming stones
across the pond.

Helpful Hints

Obstinate marks can be removed
from mirrors by rubbing with n buster
moistened with few drops of cam
phor. A piece of damp camphor will
remove fruit stains if applied whilst
they are fresh.
For removing stains from table linen
or from fragile ms ,crials such as
ninon and gcorgette, glycerine is I'M
equalled, as it may be used without
fear of injuring the fabric. The gly-
cerine should be dripped on to the
stain from clean sponge and after it
has been allowed a minute or two 10
soak in, the mark should be rinsed in
clear water. Do not rub. With an
obstinate or outstanding stain it may
be necessary to use warm glyccrinc.

"There are too big" I heard him

advise him to drop the big ones on u

it was time to start, so i called Bob

appeared perfectly contented with life
and was hopping around as happilS
as you ever saw a toad hop.

asked.
Yes, SIR" replied Bobby. Fright in
it and he got out and hopped !"
That's not surprising" L said.
