Why had she come among thie grand throng of beautiful young girls to be laughed at, to be scoffed and jeered at because Heaven had willed it that she must earn her own holiest bread in the Passaic Cotton Mille? Oh, why had the come to the grand ball? Little Gay cowered away from her oruel, triumphant enemy. great tears gathered in her dark eyes, and fell like rain down her white fa,ce from which all the joy and brightness bed been stricken -as a cruel bolt of lightning blasts a tender lit- tle blossom.

"Psliewl I simply asked our beautiful fury here to have a dance with me," he ejaculated, "and she flew into a, high and mighty temper.

The woman Who looks young ne- ver allows herself to acquire a dou- ble chin, or if she has been so 00 - discreet she soon works it off by exercises. Vast few women know that a,ny tendency towarelt a double chin can be prevented by one's po- sition while asleep. If the chin is held down on the chest the folds of Otto neck will be pushed forward, and if ;one is getting old or inclined to be at all ;stout they will sag into a double chin, In Almost No Time. The head should be thrown back on the pillow with the chin raised slightly. This is the most healthful position and absolutely prevents the formation of a dou,ble chin. Keep your chin high ,and you will look much younger. Learn to sit with your head tipped back. A cer- tain society woman sits each day for an hour with her eyes on the ceiling.. While she is sitting thue she massages her chin; this is good exercise for the hands and arms and still betbey for -the chin.

Mix *ell. Form balls by rolling about a teaspoon- ful of the mixture upon a well -flour- ed board. Melt butter in a pan, and when it sizzles put in the balls and fry. Serve them on a'hot dish, with pickles cut into rounds. Tomato Roney.—Take large yel- low tomatoes, and having Kidded them, remove the peel. Weigh the tomatoes; then press them through a sieve, and add one pound of sugar for each pound of tomatoes, and the juice of two lemons to es,ch five pounds of sugar. Cook the ingredi- ents together, being careful to keep them from burning, until they are of the consistency of strained honey. Pour into small jars and seal tightly, .

Pick over the cranberries, quarter and core the apples, but do not peel them. Wash lxitk apples and cran- berries, and put them in a kettle with a little water --enough to show' but net enough to cover the fruit. While it is boiling add a pinch of soda and a pinch of salt. Ceok un- til the apples are tender, and then rub everything through a strainer. Add one and a half cupfuls of su- gar, or a sufficient amount; to suit the tacit°.

When the cakes are golden brown, take them from the pan and serve them on a hot platter. This reeipe makes enough potato fritters foe a family of four. Cheap Salad Dressing.—Beat the yolk of an egt light, dissolve a tea- spoonful of dry ,mu,sterd in a little water a,nd add to the egg yolk, stir in a cupful of water, one-half cup- ful of vinegar, two heaping -table- spoonfuls of sug' er and one-third , teaspoonful, of salt.

Instead of a single blade chopping knife, use a wheel with 12 sharp blades revolving on a single axle. These are to be found in up-to-date stores. If fish must be kept in the refig- orator, take the precaution of rub- bing well with salt and then wrap- ping it in paraffin paper so that the flavor will not be imparted to other foodstuffs. In place 'of the simple dish of mashed potato, scoop out ffne po- tato with an ice cream scoop or mold ;gently into pyramids, brush each. over with melted better and put them in the oven until brown. Certain ball flowers--iillies among them—are beet arranged in a wide- mouthed vase with a !stem holder in the bottom. Or wire stem -holders may be had that fit over the top of the vase or jar.

Dampen the article rub the worst spots with waehing 'soda, dip brash into suds and rub vigorously. Rinse and hang in the sun, It" is often difficult when, arrang- ing flowers to make them stand up nicely. If a piece- of wire netting is crushed up into 51 ball and placed 'n the hoed, the flower steins can be stuck into the wire and they will stand up satisfactorily. Sweet potatoes are delicious served in the folloeving way: After they have been boiled until done, mash them and put in a genCrous supply of cream and butter, then beat them until very light, put thern in a baking dish and bake them. in Otto oven until they are a nice brown. When a lamp wick is a trifle la,rge draw out a thread or -two from the centre; then it will move up and clown easily. Speaking of lamp wicks: make ib a point never to cut a buened. wick rub it off instead with a piece of Cloth or blotting paper. Then it will always burn evenly. • After taking the bread from the oven it -should be removed from the pans and put bottom side down on a wire bread cooler.

In order to protect and adminis- ter the Dominion Forest B,eserves to the best advantage, they are be - leg subdivided into ranger dis- tricts and houses are being built at strategic points for the use of the rangers in charge. The first of sech houses to be occupied on the Duck Mountain Forest Reserve is located at Madge Lake, a few miles from Kamsack, Sask. Madge Lake is a beautiful, island - studded eheet of water, covering seven square miles, and this ranger - dwelling is picturesquely placed on its southern shore. It is a, comfer- table house, well planned and,well lighted, containing rooms, as well as effice. It will be painted a dark green with white trimmings.

ORCHID OF DEATH. Blunter Grayson Saw Flowers but Odor Overpowered 3Ibn. The death orchid of the Venezue- lan Indians has been proved to be no mere camp -fire yarn. Three years ago an orchid hunters Gray- aon, Bet out to find "El Lugar de ioO Forles Venemoses.," that is, "the place of the poisonous flowers," which was said to be located in the dense and pathless wilderness occu- pying the vast stretches between the headwaters of the Orinoco and the Andes. Two weeks passed with- out any incident out of the ordi- nary. But one morning there was a pereeptible smell of flowers in the air. When the orchid hunter and his Taidians camped that night the jungle smells had been entirely lost in the cloying ecent. Many of the band refused -to go farther. As Grayson and the others pro- ceeded, the rankly sweet and op- pressive odor became stronger, at- tacking the sows like a nareotic. One after another the remaining Indians milli:peed, till only Grayson and the guide were left, pushing on- ward. The orchid hunter felt as if he was being attacked by the insi- dious power of opium, but retained enough consciousness to become awaies that, gleaming through the trees ahead, he saw flowers of huge size and vi;lid colore, many hued clusters of them hanging' in trails. It was the death orchid. When he recovered his senses he found himself being carried back to camp, where the rest of his porters had remained. Many of the band were severely sick and many half- witted with the continued effect of Otto scent. 'rips to UOVISOWITCS.

A Man's Reputation Is a Largo Part of ,His Capital. There are men who say they do not care for theie reputation. They will take care of their character and let their reputation take care of itself. But they are not wise, 10 is our business to guard with religious care bath our character and our re- putation. 'I`he business man must have a good name or his business will nob prospee. A gentl name: is an °essential thing for a yourig xxian who goes out to find a business opening. If his geed name is gone who will employ him? When one's reputation is tarnished his influence is gone. When the good name of an innocent person is soiled by the tongue of slander most people will say ±0 ±0 a 'natural occurrence which could not be avoided; and some will say it is a strange providential visi- tation. It is not always so, Some- times it is a clear case of giving that which is holy to the dogs. If Young people were prudent and careful to avoid the annearFloo of evil they might, az a rule, escape Otto shame and hmnilietion of a bad name. -But they are not always prudent. They are often found in places where they ought not to bo. They often go into company which awakens suspicion. If they are warned of danger :hey seeff at the warning and defy peblie sentiment. They are not afraid, They nay be innocent but they are not prudent. A good name which has beewhand- ed down through many generations without a spot is worth guarding with scrupulous care.
