And if I were a. young woman
and considered myself to be a. bad
case of love at first sight. i'd curb
my desires to rush myself head-
long into the wedded state for at
least six months.
And even that isn't really long.
The period which ought to elapse
before they take the big step de—
pends on how often a couple see
each other.
Those who can only meet once
a week should make it a year.
For those who see each other
oftener. not less than six months.
And in that time. young man
and young women. see all you can
of the beloved.
In all conditions and under all
circumstances.
Make all the temperamental dis-
coveries you can before marriage
—you'll have quite enough shocks
of this sort after!
Besides, men and women have
all sorts of nasty little habits
which are only to be discovered
after some time has elapsed—-
when a young man or girl has
got a bit tired of being on their
very best behavior! -
It is then all the uncomfortable
disclosures come to light. He
sucks his teeth. She has a stupid
habit of telling nntruths.
And so on.
Small things. but it is these
small things that so often break
up the happy home.
And these are the things that
no "get-wed-quick" advocate will
understand.
it's only hard experience which
will teach him—~or her.

WITH DRIED PEAO.
RIED peas make an excellent
contribution to your winter
dietary. and to avoid monotony
it is well to master several ways of
using them. =
Scope of Dried Fees or Mane.
Pick and soak split peas. dried
green peas. or black or white beans
overnight. Drain, measure. add four
times as much cold water: to each
quart of water one-half onion. Sim—
mer slowly till soft. Rub through
sieve. Return to fire. season with
salt and pepper: for each quart
thicken with one teaspoon each but-
Boil up again for a
few minutes. Black bean soup
should also have a pinch of mue-
tnrd and a. little lemon Juice added.
and slices of hard-boiled egg.
Pee Soup with Stock.
Many persons keep the bones of
their roast in order to convert them
into stock for pea soup. which is
one of the meet reliehable of all
soups. and a famous dish for cold
weather, with this advantage in its
favor. that it may be made from
almtmt anything. Good stock for
peaeoup can be made fromaltnuckle
of ham. Supposing that some such
stock is at hand to the extent of
about two quarts, procure. say. two
pounds of split peas. wash them
well. and then soak them for a night
in water to which a very little piece
of soda has been added. The float-
ing peas should be all thrown away.
Strain out the peas and place them
in the stock, adding a head of celery.
a sliced carrot and a large onion or
two, and season with half an egg-
spoon of cayenne pepper. Boil with
a lid on the pot till all is soft. skim-
ming off the scum occasionally. and
then carefully strain. beating the
pulp through the strainer with a
spoon. Much of the success in pro-
pel-trig this soup lies in the “strain-
ing." which ought to be carefully at-
tended to.
Split Pea Loaf.
Four cups of split peas. cooked.
two cups bread crumbe. one beaten
egg. one teaspoon minced onion. one
tablespoon minced parsley, celery.
or other flavoring as desired. Salt
and pepper to taste. Mix all the in-
gredients together. if too soft to
hold its shape add more bread
crumbs. If too dry. add milk. water
or another egg. Form into loaf. lay
over it thin slices of salt pork or
bacon. Brown in oven.

a CCORDING to the lore of the
ancients. today‘s talismanic
gem is the lapis lazuli. the
beautiful dark blue stone which is
said to be a symbol of ficklenees
and coquerty when worn by a young
girl. However. it is also a certain
cure for unrequited afloction. and
anyone who. suffers because of un-
requited love, will find that wearing
it brings surceaee from their un-
happiness.
Today‘s natal stone is the beryl,
which symbolises iuvulncrability. its
powers being exercised not merely
over aflaire of the heart. but gov-
erning also the fields of industry and
