And if I were a young woman
and considered myself to be a bad
case of love at ilret sight. l’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

In all conditions and under all

Make all the temperamental dt'

—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

habit of telling untrutha.
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

understand.
It's only hard experience which

The knitted wool frock. especially
in the range of shades from brown

seems to take care of itself. You

taken it down from the. hanger for
the next day's wearing it seems to

Frocks of knitted wool present no

of the home dressmaker. Sometimes
excellent effects can be gained by
buying the material in the form of
“tubing" and making the frock out
of a length of the tube. the skirt left
without plait or dart and the waist
only slightly fitted under the arms
and at the shoulders. However the

Soups of Dried Peas or leans.
Pick‘and soak split was. 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-
ter and flour. Boil up again for a
few minutes. Black bean soup
should also have a pinch of mus.
card and a little lemon juice added.
and slices of hard-boiled egg.
Pea 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 most relishahle of all
soups. and a famous dish for cold
weather. with this advantage in its
favor. that it may be made from
almost anything. Good stock for
peasoup can be made fromaknuckle
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 pre-
paring this soup lies in the “strain-
ing." which ought to be carefully at-
tended to.

Four cups of split peas. cooked.
two cups bread crumbs. one beaten
egg. one teaspoon minced onion. one
tablespoon minced parsley. celery.

over it thin slices of salt pork or
bacon. Brown in oven.
