MEMORIES.
In the morning there shall be not a
doubt,
But a song- and -glad laughter all
about.
;Let us think it; let us dream it, if
emit please;
Let us live it so 'twill be memories.
Memories! We make them now going
on
Through the rich and radiant ma-
mmos of the dawn,
Let's determine, then, to know every
day
Happy moments that shall glow by
our way.
Then, when gray and full of years,
we can smile,
Living over happy days, afterwhile.
And at evening there shall benot a
doubt,
But eternal promises all about.

AN APRON SHOWER,
When casting about for material
for a shower to bless the engaged girl
with, decide upon aprons and see what
a prolific shower they will make. If
the girl is likely to do a lot of her
own work -and that's what most of
our friends are happily planning for
—we may as well begin at the bottom
and tell about the aprons of our ac-
quaintaltce, from the humblest to the
highest.
First there aro the lowly but neces-
sary gingham. After making sure of
her favorite color, buythe half-inch
plaids instead of the old fine plaids;
then embellish the border above the
hemi with cross-stitching on the white
squares ie the color of the dark
squares. Repeat the design on the
pockets and on the centre of the belt.
Make the ties three inches wide and
long enough to tie in a square bow in
the back. Say three gingham will
be enough.
Then buy enough organdie of her
most becoming color. to make, after a
good pattern, two long-sleeved and
high -necked aprons that button down
the back, with white organdie collars,
cuffs and pocket trimming. These are
Sunday -supper aprons to slip right on
aver a pretty dress.
Next buy enough sheer India linen,
or lawn, to make two long, straight
aprons with a four -inch hens at the
bottom and wide long ties. These
aprons are to slip on at serving time
or when getting a light supper, and
are very useful and not quite as bus-
iness like looking as the friendly ging-
ham. Crease the gathers in the old
way and gather twice to make them
lie well in at the belt. The aprons
must be sheer but have no trimming.
SOMETHING FOR EVERY OCCASION.
The fancy -work apron is made of
unbleached canvas, having three deep
pockets at the bottom instead of a
hem, made by turning the material
up and puttinga narrow hem at the
top so that it is right side out and
stitching down between the pockets
with featherstitching. The apron may
be embroidered with flower motifs in
the centre of each pocket. Through a
casing at the top a ribbon three inches
wide may be run for ties in the color
matching the embroidery.
An apron made of asbestos cionto
use when working around the stove
is cut after the fashion of the butch-
er's apron and is bound with tape.
It has a neck loop of tape and ties of
the same. Rubber=lined material may
be purchased by the yard, and an
apron made en the same lines as an
asbestos apron will keep the wearer
dry when doing her laundry work. It
is also good to wear ;when washing
the dishes, The little ticking apron
with pockets for clothespins is another
handy possession.
Every girl who is to have a home
in the country will need a garden
apron made of pretty cretonne after
the pattern of the Sunday organdie

apron. There must be a sunbonnet
and a kneeling pad' to match to make
the set complete.
For silver -cleaning days there is a
newcomer that is convenient and a
silent helper. Make a gingham apron
long and wide,and cover it with a
thin flannel apron the sante size. Then
lay in the centre, after the two form-
er 'materials .are gathered, a large-
sized chamois. The latter is fastened
to a tape belt of its own, then tacked
to the apron belt, from which it is
easily detached when it must be wash-
ed and dried. In holding the silver
pieces on the lap the flannel is soft
and does not scratch, and any mois-
ture is not likely to go through, and
the chamois polisher is right at hand,
A small white woolen glove is excel-
lent to use for applying the paste.
Fudge and tea aprons are made of
linen embroidered in any way liked,
but if giving a tea the hostess will
wear little silk or crepe de chine
aprons or little butterfly things of lace
and cambric.
A MOVABLE DRAINBOARD.
In kitchens without running water
it is sometimes a problem to dispose
of dishwater after every meal, with-
out having to carry several heavy
dishpanfuls out to some outdoor
drain. A woman who was anxious to
make her kitchen snore convenient,
solved the question by getting her hus-
band to make her a movable drain -
board with a hinged support et the
lower and. This drainboard had a
band about two inches high running
around three sides to prevent water
from being spilled about the kitchen.
It hung by a large hook on the kit -
I ehen wall when not in use. When it
was time to do the dishes this house-
keeper set up the drainboard with
one end on the table, the other end
resting on the hinged leg, the whole
eloping toward a tall tin coffee drum
which received the water, When the
dishwashing was over, the water was
removed in one trip out of the kitchen,
instead of the numerous journeys for-
merly required, and the drainboard
was hung on the wall again,

SPOTLESS MAHOGANY.
A neighbor of mine, noted for her'
spotless and shining mahogany, once
told me her secret. In' a bowl on her
desk she keeps half a cream nut -
Brazil nut—and when even a slight'
scratch or mark appears on the wood
she rubs it away entirely with the cut
end of the nut, polishing later with a
soft cloth. The oil in the nut com-
pletely restores the finish.
OLD VELVET MADE NEW.
For those who still use wood or coal
ranges or the hot plate over gas
stoves, we can recommend an, ideal
wa,y of renovating velvet. After brush-
ing off the top of, the stove, lay a
large cloth wrung out of water on it
and over this the velvet, right side
up. As the steam rises brush the
goods with .a soft brush until' all
creases disappear. If " necessary
dampen the cloth more than once.

turned lits attention to the material
of Ardington's craft -the beams end

plaster oasts of many an old boss and

never let even so much as a quarter of

At one end-of'the' long; lofty'rooni
there was the wide recess thathad
once contained the great cooking range
of the old kitchen. Above it rose the:
huge shaft of the chimney. More than
a hundred years had elapsed since the
smoke of anyfire:had escaped through
this opening to the sky. The •chimney
had, in : fact,; been whitewashed: from
ton to bottom, and, the steak had been
covered; in to .keep out the cold and
drought. The room. was heated, with
radiators,. and there was no ventila
tion except suchas came through the
door and windows.
Peters examined this ,chimney with
interest, though he was no antiquary,
and did;. not know that it had once
been the chimney :of the, great: mon-
astic kitchen. ..He noticed that the
iron door ofan old bread oven had
been openedsince he had last looked
at it. He had once tried to open it
himself, but had been unable to do-
se. "A likely place for a man' to hide
anything," ho had said to himself, and
then—drawing a bow at a venture,
so to speak—he had fastened a thin
piece of silk to the catch so that no
one could open the door without break-
ing the. thread, The, thread was
broken.
Once again Peters., tried to open the.
iron door, but he could not move it a
quarter of an inch. And then, as he
looked. out of the window ho saw Ard.

When Ardington entered the hall
he saw his second footman standing
by one of the south windows and star-
ing idly down the drive. •
CHAPTER XXIV.
"How do you feel about it this
morning'?” queried Ardington at
breakfast
"I am interested," Merrington re-
plied gently.
"But not excited, eh?"
"Not at all, Ardington."
"Ah, that's good—excellent. I was
afraid you'd feel a bit nervous. Well,
I wouldn't keep her too long this
morning, old chap. I expect you'll
find you're not quite up to a long sit-
ting."
'L shall keep her just as long as
she'll stay," said Merrington, "I ex-
pect she'll get tired before I do.
Eleven o'clock did you say?"
"Yes, eleven sharp."
After breakfast Merrington went
into the studio, lit his pipe, and made
all the arrangements for his work. Ile
decided exactly where he would place'
the "throne" and where he would place
his easel. He moved a big Iacquer
screen so that it would cut off the
light from one of the three great win-
dows. He examined his 'brushes,
paints, and palette,.
At half -past ten he went out into
the garden and walked up and down
the path that lay close to the edge of
the wood. And he was not thinking
of Lady Bradney at all. He was think-
ing of Paula, and wondering whether,
after all, it was not cowardly of him
to remain at Dedbury and refuse to
return to the flat where he had known
so many days of happiness.
At ten minutes to eleven he went
back to the studio and warmed his
hands on one of the radiators. He was
standing.. like that, with his back to
the door, when the door opened and
Ruth Bradney, was shown into the
room. Her husband followed her.

WHEN BAKING FISH.
Place a sheet of waxed paper on
the bottom of your pan before baking
fish. This keeps the fish from the pan,
andtthe paper can be removed after
baking without trouble. The idea is
to make the washing of the pan easy,
and thus remove the objectionable
part of baking fish.
