Words.

A lot of letters by themselfs wont
make enything but a alfabet but If
you put them next to each other their
libel to make words, proving what
you cant do by yourself you may be
able TO do with Il little help.
All the verbs in the werld are in
the dictionary, including lot no
body ever uses on account of never
having herd OF them. Dictionaries
are the easiest books to write be-
cause they are all alike SO all YOU
half TO do is copy another one.
Verbs have joints called sillable
and some of the smallest words meen
the biggest things, SutCh as erth with
only one joint meening the whole
werld, vile some Of the biggest werd S
meen the smallest things, such as in =
significant with 5 joints meening not
even worth mentioning.
The same verbs are libel TO meen
different things depending wat comes
after them. For instants if YOU say
to somebody, Your all rite, it meens
their all rite, but ii you say. Your all
rite. like fun. it's almost Il insult.
Babies use sounds insted of verbs,
and their mothers think its exter in .
telligents insted of ignorants. Prov
ing if thing belongs TO you. the
way YOU get, the most plezZure out
of it is to think its CRATE no matter
who thinks different.

Picked Salmon.

Boil or steam three or four pounds
OF salmon, then drain, cut in thick
chunks and place these in a stone jar
that can be closely covered. Add TO
one quart of strong cider vinegar, a
heaping teaspoonful each of whole
cloves, whole black pepper and all
spice berries, and heat slowly until
boiling. Pour over the salmon, and if
not enough to cover, add more vinegar.
Cover closely and let stand for a day.
when the salmon should be ready for
use. This makes a delicious luncheon
dish served with baked potatoes. 1t
is good to use as salad. or to stuff
cucumbers. squash or sweet potatoes.

Good window treatment has double
decorative significance. 1t adds beauty
to interior and interest to the exterior
of a house. Window shades, for in
stance, especially when of patterned
glazed chintZ. are as noticeable from
the outside as the inside of Il dwell
ing. Pane curtains are distinctly to be
seen from both sides. Hangings are
chiefly for the inside. since they show
but little on the outside, but they have
to be considered somewhat in relation
to each view. Plants are fascinating
elements in window decoration from
both angles. They suggest pleasant
pastures with greenery and blossoms
when seen from the inside of a house,
and they add welcome note of Sum
mer beauty when seen from the out
side.
1t is during the early Spring days
when plants begin to show their crav-
ing for the outside air. and do not look
their best that q little attention given
to flower pot decoration and to Win
dow sill treatment amply repays any
trouble put on them. Bulbs in fancy
bowls are satisfactory, since they pro-
vide ornament in the bowls and green
in the fronds with promises of bios
SONS from buds that begin to push
up while the plants are yet young.
Bulbs Decorative.
The bulb should be held firmly with
some OF the prettiest of the pebbles. 1t
is not necessary to have white stones
for any but a top layer, but these do
add a better setting than ordinary
stones from field. OF course. we are
considering the ensemble from dec
orative point of view, for the kind of
stones has nothing whatever to dc
with the successful growth and
maturing of the plant. Place the
bulbs in inconspicu0us places until
well started If they are to be used
solely for decoration.
Color With Ferns.
Ferns are excellent on stands before
windows, but they require considerable
space. They are graceful in spacious
rooms and are just the things to aug
ment furnishings that seem IA bit
scanty. A point to note at the present
time is that color is a vogue in plants.
as in all decorations. So, if you use
ferns do not fail to have the contain
ers add the needed notes of color.
There are all sorts of gay flower sticks
and brilliant trellises to use in flower
pots for this very purpose. These
dress up windows from both the in
side and outside.
Decorative jardinieres for bulbs and
plants can be homemade. Ordinary
flower pots can be painted to accent
some note of color in the scheme of
a room. Mark off bands extending up
and down from the wide rim at the
