THE PATH TO MARY'S.
It was six months since Mary Col-
lins had died. She had been a quiet
woman and was never in the forefront
of anything; but after she had gone
people were amazed to find how elosely
she had been interwoven with all the
village life: She had not indeed been
in the forefront, but she had been at
the warm, beating heart of it all. Even
fow, after half a year, no event hap-
pened in the village that some one did
not say wistfully, It seems as if Mary
Collins might come in any minute!"
Martha Brooks, who had been spend -
Ing the afternoon with Mrs. Thayer,
had been talking of Mary for some
time; Mrs... Thayer had been Mary's.
closest neighbor. Presently a silence
fell between the two women, a tender
silence full of memories.
Martha Brooks broke it. She had
been looking absently out the window,
and suddenly something unusual
caught her attention. "Why, Ada,
you've moved your dahlia bed!" she
exclaimed,
Mrs. Thayer smiled. "I was waiting
for you to notice that," she said. "Look
along the path, no, the other way,
the path to Mary's."
Mrs. Brooks turned. The path to
Mary's led along the fence and then
through an orchard; and all the way
to the orchard the dahlias stood glow-
ing and splendid in the September sun.
"Why,—what,--" Mrs. Brooks gasped.
"It was Betty's idea. She had been
learning in school about the Lincoln
Highway, and she proposed making a
memorial path over to Mary's with
my dahlias and hers."
"But it isn't nearly so good a place
for them, is it?" Mrs. Brooks asked.
Mrs. Thayer caught her breath. "As
if one could think of that when it was
Mad!" she cried.
She was silent for a while; then, "I
think of this so often, Martha. Betty
isn't going to stay at hone always. She
will go away to college and then to her
own place in life. And it may be in
a city,—most of our girls do go to
cities these days,—and neighbors are
not so common in cities. I want Bet-
ty's little path of remembrance to be
something she never can forget. She
has every one of the dahlias named
for some lovely gift or service. That
long line of scarlet ones is for the
weeks when she had scarlet fever and
Mary came over every night to relieve
me; the variegated one is for the bits
of silk and ribbons Mary used to save
for Betty's dolls—and so on. Some of
them would sound funny to you or me,
but my little girl never will forget
what it means to be a neighbor."
"It's a queer notion, but I guess I
like it," Mrs. Brooks replied.
SELLING OLD ROOSTERS.
If you have a steam pressure cooker
try using the old roosters at home.
About an hour at fifteen pounds pres-
sure will make an old rooster, in our
cooker, become about as tender as a
springer. The meat drops from the
bones and is fine for chicken pies and
pressed chicken. When you sell old
roosters to private customers without
steam pressure cookers they may half
cook the birds and claim they were
tough, which is the case. A few meals
of tough chicken sicken them of poul-

IRONING PONGEE.
The popular craze for pongee for
women's wear and children's dresses,
notto mention the boys' and men's
suits, brings up the question of its
proper ironing. Pongee cannot be
laundered in the usual way and look
right. In the first place, the material
should be allowed to dry and never be
sprinkled or dampened at all. A me-
dium hot iron will give a beautiful
finish on the dry pongee, and I find
that I get even better results by iron-
ing it on the wrong side first.'
Really, when one knows how, it is
much easier to "do up" a pongee dress
than any other kind for there is no
starching and dampening to do. The
person who irons a pongee dress while
still wet makes a lot of work that is
unnecessary and produces a very un-
satisfactory result.
