In cold weather, we find it very easy to use the leftovers, which are of little or no trouble to keep at that season, but in summer we need that quality of freshness in our food to protect us gainst that indifferent and "too hot to eat" attitude that we are so liable to fall into. With most of us we are likely to go to extremes in the mat ted a glass of milk and a cracker one day and the next a day a lunch close ly resembling a dinner. Instead we should plan to serve luncheons that are both nourishing and appetizing. Be sure that they contain some green, serve some cold (jeverage.

For climbing its side one day, hand over hand to the sunny tip-top, you may lift a triumphant wet head to look over into the green valley below, meaning for all the world to ride down'iifto it as you have done before and stare straight into the weird face of a mermaW coming up the other side. Her ears will be periwinkle shells, her eyebrows scalp fins, her hands webbed, her eyes the unwinking, jade-gree'n jewels of a fish's, her hair wet and green and sea-weedy. And you, coming in to shore as fast as your Australian crawl will take you, you pant out your tale in the sand and faint in the end! But remember also that the poor fish-maiden will be as frightened as you, and will tell the tale in an oyster-shell palace that night with the big salt tears swimming down. NELL BRINKLEY. Thus Far Shalt Thou Go, Mother BY ADA PATTERSON. A mother earns many rights. Earns them, not by the gift of life, for that is unsought by , the child, unconsid ered, too often, by the parent, but by tender, thoughtful, wise guardianship of the little one before its power of reason is mature enough to take her place. That mother who has done her best is entitled to the child's love, respect and thoughtfulness. But there is a limit to even a mother's rights. A young woman has set up a stone that marked the boundary line, in an eastern city. It is an interesting story. I com mend it particularly to those who be lieve that we are living in a practical age in a practical country and that romance is dead. The girl had a boy friend.

Bee Want Ads produce best results. had been an open friendship and comradeship between them, and a shy bit of underlying sentiment of a closer, sweeter sort was budding. The rude hand of interference crushed the bud. Came an elderly wooer nearly three times her age, and of wealth and po sition that dazzled her mother. Like grains of dust they got into the fa ther's eyes.and disturbed his usually clear vision. But the mother took command of the situation. ' She made the wooing of the elderly suitor easy. Joyously she tossed the girl, less than 19, into his arms. Proudly she ex ulted in her mother-in-law-ship. In a few years the girl became a widow. After a seemly time of mourn ing she seemed to reinherit her girl hood. She went about to the simple places that had known her when wealth and position had not burdened her. In one of these places she met her boyhood friend. This time frankness took the place of the former -shyness. He wasted no time in preliminaries. Once he had lost precious hours by subtleties and his happiness had gone with them. He brushed away all formalities with the three words that are so heavenly welcome from the right man, "I love you." They prepared for their marriage as happily as, and more precipitately than, they would have done five years before. Life was a chorus of joy bells for them. But discord befell. Her mother made it. "Give up that honored name? For feit your right to those millions that are yours if you don't marry again? Are you crazy?" she gasped chokingly. "I won't permit it." The girl that had been, the widow and mother who was did not allow herself to be stampeded at 23, as she liail been at IV. "I am of age. mother," she an swered. "I have every right to make my own choice of a husband. You have none to make it for me. You never had, but I did not know. Now, by the light of experience, I see that no woman has the right to say to another! 'This is the man you shall I take to your arms and your heart. Him you shall marry and bear chil- ' dren.' Some girls might have hated ! you for what you did. I do not, but II am resolved that you shall never repeat it. She married the love ot her girl hood. The interval of five years is ui oart foraotten. But the mother will not forget, nor should other mothers forget, the boundary line be tween filial obedience and individual sacredness. The young remarried widow set up the boundary stone. On It is engraved: "To Mothers: Thou sbalt not trespass on these grounds. v Things Worth Knowing Combs will soon warp and break if washed with water, They should be cleaned with a good stiff, dry tooth brush or nailbrush. Washing soda should not be used on china, as it will take off the gilt. Try clear hot water, but not hot enough to crack the china. To cure catarrhal troubles in a slow but sure way: Keep the feet exceedingly clean and sprinkle a tea spoonful of refined sulphur in each shoe three times a week. When beating white of egg for sponge cake, when it becomes dry and light test its stiffness by turning the dish containing it upside down. If it is beaten to the proper point not a particle will become detached. To make a tough steak tender rub it on both sides with vinegar and olive oil, thoroughly mixed, and al low it to stand for two hours before cooking. Pork tenderloins roasted in the oven are improved by a sprinkling of powdered sage with the salt and pepper. The meat should be browned firstrn a quick oven, and after it is sprinkled it should be basted every quarter of an hour until it is done. Some persons cook sweet potatoes in the pan with the tenderloin. The po tatoes are boiled half tender and then are put into the pan with the meat and basted with it until they are soft. aS B1CCME AH3BLE StWltf Chocolate Cream Pie Bf CONSTANCE CLARKE. To make good pastry requires prac tice and care, good flour and the best shortening thoroughly chilled; it should be touched as lightly as possi ble, made with cool hands, and in a cool place. Puff paste requires a brisk oven, but not too hot. French puff paste used for" this pie is made as follows: Take equal quantities of flour and butter one-half pound of each; put the flour on the paste board, work lightly into it half a cup of but ter, and then make a hole in the cen ter. Into this well put the yolk of an egg, a little salt, then make it into a paste with cold water; knead up the paste quickly and lightly and roll it out Line a pie pan with the paste, and bake in a quick oven. When cold fill this pie crust shell with the choco late custard. Chocolate Custard Bring two cupfuls of milk to the boil in a double boiler; then take from the fire and add a half cup of sugar, yolks of two eggs which have been beaten together to a cream, two squares of chocolate melted: reolace on the stove and stir until smooth and creamy, add one-fourth cup of cornstarch dissolved in a little milk, stir all the time; add When the Animals Speak , By GARRETT P. SERVISS. There were, in a great zoological park, two herds of elephants, one of the Indian, or Asiatic, and the other of the African species. In the eyes of the ordinary visitors to the park they were all simply elephants huge, lumbering animals, weighing tons, all having curling trunics, enor mous legs and feet, queer little eyes, big flappy ears, while some were pro vided with wqnderful pointed iver? tuiks that could pin a tiger to the ground almost as easily as a cat could hold a mouse. Hardly anybody noticed any dif ference between the members of the herds, except that, of course, they varied in size, according to age, and the better informed ob servers could tell at a glance the meles from the females. But, upon the whole, as I have said, they were all merely elephants to the onlooker, just as if the case were reversed and the animals had the upper hand in intelligence, the members of two herds of the curi ous two-legged creatures called men, kept in a zoological park for the amusement of elephants would seem to their proboscidian visitors to be all alike, simply men, al though, in reality, they might be long to different races which hated and despised one another. But one day a visitor to the park containing the two herds of ele phants happened to be gifted with that power possessed only by such persons as the farmer men tioned in the beginning of the "Ara bian Nights" the power of under standing the speech of animals and he heard something which greatly i interested as well as surprised him. , The first thing that awakened his curiosity was an elephantine laugh. (Because you have never heard an elephant laugh is no reason for as suming that those big animals never do, or can, laugh.) This particular laugh was also of the kind that we call "contemptuous." -It was some thing like the titter that ill-bred human creatures give utterance to when they see other human crea tures whose manners and appear ance are unlike their own. Two Indian elephants, females, were standing close together in a shady spotv looking at a group of Africans on the other side of a bar rier, enjoying the hot sunshine, and occasionally spreading out their huge ears like sails on each tide of their heads. "Did you ever see anything fq beat that!" said the one that uttered the laugh. "Taking a sun bath! The ideal What can they be made of, anyway? They must have hides made of iron, like the mahout's prod. I wouldn't stand out in the sun for worlds! No respectable elephant would do such a thing in India. I should think it would kill them." "Oh don't you worry; it won't kill them. They're too homely to be hurt, and they're used to it in Africa. Besides, look at their com plexions, and their great vulgar ears. They might use them for um brellas, like the people whose busi ness it is to bring us peanuts. Isn't it amazing what absurd creatures nature will sometimes make? I de clare, I could shelter my baby un der one of those ears. One ought to be enough for a whole family." "And then their big, unmanageable tusks," returned the first speaker, "how ridiculous they look. I'm sure they're too long and crooked to fight tigers with. They could only wave them about in the air and a tiger would jump between them and be on their necks in a minute. "Did you ever see one of our braves kill a tiger? .Well, I did, once, and it makes me tremble yet! The striped beast sprang for his head, while I cowered behind him in a thicket, and the growl of the leaper froze my blood. But those short, straight, sharp tusks received him, and in an in stant he was sprawling on the ground with my defender's feet upon him, and the tusks driven through his body." "But, don't you see," said the oth er, "that with those Africans both sexes have tusks? How can there be any gallantry among them? All have to fight alike if they do any fighting at all except among themselves." I "guess they do fight for their lives sometimes, replied the first. I over heard our keeper one day telling about the way the rhinoceroses tight with the horns on their noses, and he said that, though they would run away if they could, yet when they did fight, these rhinoceroses were harder than' tigers for an elephant to kill. But of course he was talking about those ridiculous Africans. "There's another thing, said the second speaker. "Do you notice that the left tusk of all the older ones among those creatures over there is shorter than the right? That's an other mark of ugliness." It s more than that, responded the first. "It shows what low habits they have. I found this out also from the keeper. Would you believe it they're root diggers' Yes, their taste is as low as that! They dig their food out of the ground, and they have to work so hard that they shorten one ot their tusks. No wonder both sexes are armed with tusks. But tusks! No, it is a disgrace to the name to call them that; they are only diggers. A real tusks is a tiger killer! Isn't it a pity that such beasts should look like us in any vay?" Bat. unknown to these scornful children of proud India, one of the African elephants, on the other side of the park, was at the same time say ing to a companion: "Those pigmy-eared Asiatics over there are not only barbarians, but contemptible slaves. 1 hey let one of these little two-legged insects that wait on us ride on their heads and beat them about with a stick and car ry children aliout in a box on their backs! Wouldn't I like to see them try such tricks on a king of the Con go? Why should a creature bearing the form of an elephant kneel to any thing?"
