"What brings you here, Norah?"

Mr. Strong°, quickly, scenting mis-

In the course of it, Mr, Stronge, who
was an agreeable sociable sort of

"I was up just now at Ballymore.

He did not say friend,. and Con-

Miss McGillicuddy with a sniff.
"Her coming among us will, I
have no doubt. be a great acquisi-

had seen and admired Mrs. Dundas.
"I suppose so," replied Stronge.
There was, however, in spite of the
acquiescence, a lack of enthusiasm in
his tone.

went on Featherston, who had

STATUE OF . QUEEN VICTORIA AT TORONTO,
The statue to be erected in Queen's Park in front of the Parliament
building', at .Toronto, Ont., will be a worthy memorial of Queen Victoria„',
'It is by the Italian sculptor Raggi; who has long been one' of the fore-
most exponents of his art in England where he has lived_ for many years.
The statue will be of bi.onze, a replica of one in Hong ,Kong. -Her Ma-
jesty gave the sculptor a number of sittings, and warmly praised the re-
sult. The panels in bronze set into the granite base will represent scenes
in Her Majesty's life.

He has been abroad for years. He
was at one time an attache at, Con-
stantinople, and for the last year or
two has been travelling in the East.
He has come home, however, and I
have asked him to stay with me for
as long as it suits Min.,"
As he spoke ,he put on the little
touch of pomposity,- t1ii4 always
broke out when he was alluding to
anything that tbuched his family
pride. ,
"He is in realety.,The O'Grady,"
he said, "the head of that family,
but he prefers the ordinary prefix to
his name, I think you will like him."
He was addressing' Constantia. He
seemed anxious to interest her in
this cousin. Constantia was pleased
half consciously at this mark of his
regard, and as she usually did when
her 'eyes met his, she blushed deli-
cately.
The blush was not lost on Andrew
Stronge.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
Cook books sometimes advise the
use of a tablespoonful of granulated
gelatine to a cup .of fruit julde in
in making .lemon and other frnit juic-
es. into jelly. Don't do it, You'll
get a jelly you could throw tiirpugA
brick wall without .,damage. jelly
should be a -quivering 'shaking mass
that will melt in the mouth and that
looks as if it wouldtunible to pieces
on account of its own weight—but
dbesn't.. A teaspoonful of the gela.-
tine to a pintof juice comes a good

ple tapioca and apples are out of

it.
In Norway the coffee is roasted
fresh every morning in a covered pan
kept constantly in motion OVer the
fire. A bit of salted butter is added
after the roasting ,process is begun
and gives the coffee a delicious but
indescribable flavor. The French al-
so use butter in roasting coffee.
Never use yolk of egg to settle cof-
fee. The part of tthe egg. that is
thrown away contains enough of the
white to clear a quantity of coffee;
this ie the white lining of the shell,
which_ may be easily stripped from
theashell while moist -and- is just as
good dry as fresh.
