Radishes are among the popular early vegetables, They are usually nerved direct from the garden after they have been washed and trimmed but they' are delioleus when cooked. Serve with parsley sauce, or mash and season with salt, pepper and butter, Radishes belong to the turnip family and should not be allowed to grow pithy in tine garden when they can he used in such, a variety of ways. Sliced thin, either cooked or uncooked; they furnish a tang to many salads that Would otherwise be flat. Spring ,onions may' also be cooked if one hesitates to serve the uncooked vegetable, They are, I think, the most delicious vegetable we can offer, serv- ed •on=toast or in patty shells. In com- bination with spring mushrooms, with tiny Fining carrots or meets, they can- not but please the most critical palate. Our grandmothers and the grand- mothers who preceded thein gave sul- phur and molasses• as a spring tonic. The mother of to -day gives her chil- dren rhubarb. No'frait is.mare valu- able than this. Rhubarb contains health promoting and regulating vita- mines•- It may be' used ,in place of Strange juice in the •mouths when the latter is'difficult to obtain. On the warm days of early summer it must be -regarded as a most important food, It too' can be used in several ways; 1. Serve as sauce. —2. Serve with rich baking powder biscuit as short cake. 3. Cook as sauce, thicken with gela- tine and whip until very light and spongy and 'serve ice celd. 4. Use in combination with straw- berxies, re. pbsrries, blueberries or cherries in sauce, pies, or shortcakes. 3. Take one pint of sweetened rhu- barb sauce, heat to boiling, add the yolks of two eggs, remove from fire and turn into mudding dish. Whip the egg whites with two level tablespobn- fule of sugar; spread this meringue over the rhubarb custard 'and bake to a delicate brown in a slow oven. Looking Your -Best. Looking your best depends more upon yourself than your dress. Make the most of your guod points and the least -of your bad ones --then dress becomingly and you will be at your best, Consider well your hair. The hair really sets off your face. Your whole expression. depends upon it. If it is dull and lifeless, that's the way you Thole. If it is fluffy and vibrant with life—again, that's the way you look. If it doesn't harmonize with your dress, Hien your whole appearance is discordant. Know your own hair, and then Bare for it accordingly. If it is oily, there are many things to do to remove the oiliness and get it in a, healthy condition. It needs washing, airing,;tonie rubs, and the scalp needs massaging. .- Ikea are some little 'hints worth retneinbereng in treating oily hair. Shampoo it, but not too often. Once every three weeks is sufficient. For a little .luxury, try in between times the dry shampoo, which is perfumed with violets. But be sure you brush oat all the powder. Don't forget that yly.hair. needs a sun bath every now and then, find it needs.an airing too. Take it down and 'let the wind' bloiv through it when you oan. - A good aneiseptic soap is 'excellent for the shampoo, but be sure to rinse rho hair so every particle of soap will be removed. A little lemon juice in 1Jle last rinsing water will help to ac - c u'tnplish this. Do not brush oily heir too often or too vigorously, It's the dry hair that needs the brushing. For the oily scalp there are tonics specially prepared which will not overstimulate the oil glands, and which contain suf- ficient quinine to act ae a stimulant, And there are ,,ethee tonics having / astringent ,qualities which help to bring the oil glands back to normal, • Perhaps your hair is dry and brittle and not oily tit ,e11. If this is so, start in at once to feed and nourish it with a good tonic that has an oil base. Crude oil warmed and rubbed thoroughly into .-the scalp will work wonders in nourishing starved flair. And there are tonics nowadays that will produce the same result. They bave,petrolenmt as their base, but it is greatly refined, and the tonic is just sufficiently perfumed to make it agreeable, to use, - Deo a medicine dropper in applying• the tonic, and. be careful to got it on the scalp and not un the hair. Once a month is suffi- cient to shampoo clay hair. Soap shav- ings; cooped' in a little water until they aro dissolved into a soft jelly make a good shampoo. It's just 'miraculous tho part'wavy hair plays in looking your best. It seems to soften the entire outline of the Cacti, It really helps to make your clothes move becoming, Now that (lair wavers coma . h o covered that; they are soft, and pliable and do not break the hair, there ie no reason why they minuet be used every night. And you won't have to use them so often if yotf flret dampen pout hair with a trate fluid before wjndmg it about the waver, Tide fluid does not harm the heir in any way, atld helps to Make tkt1 wave /TWO lasting. Don't lot bio forget to remind you to select a style of coiffure that is suitable to your face and figure. It's not only the care you give your hair, but also the way you wear it, that helps you to look your best. A Plan To Follow. ( Margaret, said .the young girl es she tapped lightly on the guest romp door, "I rim going uptown, and I thought perhaps there was something }mould do for you. Can you think of anything that you want?" "Thank you, Helen," her cousin re- plied, I don't believe there is any- thing this afternoon; unless," she added, seeing the books in Helen's arms; "you would take My hook back to the library and get me another one. You know your father lets ane use his card -while. I am here. But per- haps you are not going near the Iibrary." "Yes; I am going right to the lib- rary. I've got soma things to look up on Japanese rile in Korea for our Current Events Club to -morrow after- noon. This is the book you've jest read, isn't•it? What shall I get for you? Another one by the same author?" "Not if you please!"- emphatically returned Cousin Margaret, "I never want to rend another one of that man's books! Get me one of Steven - son's books, please; any one but Treasure Island. I've just read that, and I like it so well that I want to re -read some of his other stories. Can you wait just a moment, dear, while I record this book?" "Yes, indeed; but what do you mean by recording the book, Cousin Mar- garet?" "Why, you see," said her cousin, taking out a large, -well-bound note- book from her trunk, "I write in this book the name of every book I.reitd, the date when I read it, the author's name and how I liked -the book." "Why do you do that? 1 should think it would be a lot 'of bother." "It Was something of a bother, as you say," replied her cousin, "when I first began at, fifteen years ago; but my father had given me a set of Dickens for my graduating present and had asked Inc to keep a record! of my reading. I've got so now that I rather enjoy keeping my record. It has been a great help to me; too, for often merely reading the list Inas brought back to me books that I thought I had forgotten all about. Then, too, by writing down the author's name I have fixed the book and its author in my mind." "I should be -ashamed to write down some of the 'books I have reed since I graduated last spring, They are so trashy!" "I Was ashamed at first to record some that I read; but father insisted that I keep an accurate account of all my books, and I had to put down tho trashy as well as the standard ones." "Did Uncle Ned look aver your list?" "No, he just wanted me to keep the record for my own benefit. And it clid benefit me, too, for it wasn't tong before unconsciously I began to want to improve my reading." 41I believe Ill begin a book record myself,' said Helen. "I have just finished Charles Hingsley's Westward Hol Why, here it is, recorded on this page! Had you never read it before?" "Yes, indeed. Don't you see the figure (3) after it? ,That means that this is the third tine I have react the book" "Why, here are Ms of books you have marked (2), (3) and oven (4)1" exclaimed the_ girl as ahe turned the leaves of her cousin's book, "You never tire of a favorite book," said Cousin Margaret; "and the more youread some books the more you want to rend them."

That far-off past when 3 recall it ends its most natural aetting in our little provincial dining room, with windows opening on the village main street, There I see again my father, half smiling, half grave, seated on a high stool and playing -the harmonium. The peaceful room was filled with the droning melodies of church hyums.:' I' Sateen a-cushige at hie feet: I followed the movements . of his legs and arms, I never stirred and never spoke a Pword.

For I understood the harmonium. I eregarded it as a living creature, loved it with an exclusive, juvenile passion and now and. then caressed its keys as ii< I were caressing my mother's hands, -My tenth year re- mains in my memory as -"one long re- ligious chant sung to heaven.' That - is the age of innocent mysticism. That little orga;r took on in lay mind a sort of sanctity, I approached it with devotion and nothing in the world could have induced me to play it my- self, so strong was the sense of my unworthiness to do se. - • T grew up, became more reasonable and had fewer unreflecting impulses or 'spontaneous enthusiasms, But my heart kept its old love, which con- founded in its tenderness my father,. the music and the harnxonitun. You can imagine what a drama it was in, any existence (I was then twelve years old) when my parents sold the instru- ment. Why did`they part with it? I don't know to this day. I always avoided speaking about this event for fear of appearing ridiculous in their eyes, and also .in order to leave them under the illusion. that they had never, done anything to make me suffer. I suppose that some immediate need, of money had constrained thein to sacrifice the superfluous teethe neces-, sary, and to accept the osier made; them by M. Leger, the notary of the; region, who lived in a beautiful house, on the edge of the little town. The day when they came to take the harmonium away I fled the house, I wandered along the roads, like a -dog which has lost its owner. I talked -aloud. I threw myself on my knees and prayed. I kept away from. pas- sers-by lest in my £ury I should in- sult theme -When I returned home at nightfall and, ,seating myself at the table, saw only the empty place, and then on the wall the marks of a van- ished form, my wrath against men was appeased. Miserable, exhausted, I put my head in my hands and sob- bed. No consolation ever turned my thoughts from the departed instru- ment. In the night I awoke.with a start, as if I heard- its mysterioud voices vibrating about inc. I jumped out of bed and went downstairs in my bare feet. I believed with all my soul that a miracle had brought it back to its accustomed place. I tip- toed into the dining roan, touching the chairs and the mantelpiece. It must be there. But no, the space it had formerly occupied was still vac- y'm�WR Axa ant, 'I mounted again to my bedroom and wept until morning.

While I was prowling, as usual, outside the gar- den walls I heard music. 'I listened, I ran to the gate, They were play- ing the harmonium. I eves sure of it. My heart couldn't be deceived, A familiar air floated toward me from bellied the -tufted trees, thick with the • shadowe of the •starless night. Was it the harmonium? Was it my childhood? They spoke to me. They had heard the sound of my foot- steps. They knew, that I was there, The sounds grew Bolter and more ap- pealing. They seemed to entreat me to enter. I guessed that. I felt it. I heard nothing any. longer but that appeal, I: clambered over the bars of the. gate. Without knowing how, I found myself on a broad pathway. I walked straight ahead, without hesitation. The gravel crunched. A clog barked furiously. A door of the house open- ed. A shadow appeared in the door- way. I continued to advance. Some- one cried, "Who goes there?" I stopped for a moment and then advanced further. The voice repeated: "Who goes there? Answer, or I'll fire!" I said nothing. There was a sharp report. A bullet whistled by me. In spite of myself I gave a loud cry. Then I lose consciousness. I came to myself in a large, blue room. I was stretched on a lounge. It was warm. A bright light cast its golden rays over. me. Three faces were close to mine. I recognized Mlle. Blanche. I was in M. Leger's house, - lie lcolced at ane and said: "What did you come, here for, my boy?" - I didn't dare to tell the truth, It was my most intimate secret. They would have laughed at my story. I stammered: • "Nothing. I don't. know." But Mme. Leger insisted. "Come, tell us. We won't harm you. We shan't tell your Parents on you." So I lied. Looking at her, I mur- mured: urmured: "It was—it was—because of Ville. Blanche:" ' The,, notary and his n'if. Mlle. Blanche blushed a little, "Rascal!" said M. Leger, tapping me on the cheek. - e smiled. jokingly, And as the father and mother nettle drew silently, accepting my explana- tion, the young girl bent over my fore- head and gave me a kissf so sweet anti so tender that I thought I should faint with joy.
