IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
Many of the Old Customs and Con
ditions Are Fansluir Entire
ly Away.
A generation ago to be an ideal house*
| keeper was the chief ambition of almost
every woman. No girl desired a fairer
! fate than to be placed at the head of a j
I household with a good and loving hus- |
! band to supply all her wants and make j
her the mistress and the queen of his ;
| heart and his home. In most cases, says !
the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience in theart under the tuition
i of her mother. She loved to decorate and
| beautify the house which was to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
| grimage. She loved to create delicacies
j for her husband and her children, and,
disguise it as we ihay, much of the af
j fection she reoeived was due entirely to
her skill as a homemaker. When her
I children grew up around her this kind
and sympathetic mother and the pantry
were the chief attractions in their world.
| As they grew older the ties only grew the
stronger. When they acquired families
of their own the old homestead, with
its abundance of good things, still had
attractions for them. The kind old
mother was still their best friend. She
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy were
j worth more to them than gold. The
grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she Anally went away from the home
circle she left a vacaucv which could
never be filled.
But we are assured with every symp
tom of rejoicing that these conditions
are passing; that w^feen have been
emancipated; that in ral future they are
to be the rival, instead of the helpmate,
of man, and that they must combine to
enforce their just demands against the
hostility of the male sex. This is non
sense pure and simple. It may be true
that there are more mannish women in
this generation than there were in the
last. It is unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female popula
tion has been forced to be self-support
ing, but it is not true that women enjoy
the so-called “liberty” which goes with
toiling for a living.
The home Instinct is too deeply
planted in the heart of women to be re
moved by the effects of a generation ol
club work. It will never be removed. A
j few women may go after strange gods,
| but the natural, wholesome girl will still
find her highest ideal of happiness in
a good husband and a cozy home. The
clubs may succeed in making such homes
Impossible to a few men and women by
making the young women feel that they
have a more important work In the
world than the prosaic duty of home
making, but among the masses of the
American people the mother will con
tinue to be the bond which unites the
unities of that holy institution the fam
ily, and she will continue in this exalted
role until the end of all things.

She Was Happy and Vet There Was
an Awful Possibility Op
pressing Her.
“Darling,” he said, as he placed his
arm around her waist and drew her ten
derly to his breast, reiat.es the New York
Times, “why those pearly tears? Is the
home that I have brdbght you to less
magnificent than you expected?”
“Oh, n-no,” she sobbed. “It is g-grand
er than I dared to h-hope.”
“Have you found since our marriage
that I am less exalted than you had sup
posed me to be?”
“Oh, F-Fred, you are a th-thousand
times more exalt-t-ted than I thougfit
you to b-be.”
Stooping down he kissed away two
large tears that were trembling upon her
long, graceful lashes, and asked:
“Has it grieved you to be taken from
your parents and the scenes of your |
childhood, little one."
“No, no, dear-dearest,” she replied.
“I would g-gladly go anywhere w-with j
you.”
“Great heavens!” he cried, in ^wild j
alarm. “Perhaps you are ill. Tell me, !
is it so, sweetheart?”
“No,” she said, through a fresh burst;
of tears, “it is not that.”
A look of deep perplexity overspread
his handsome visage, and, pushing her
back so that he could look down into

asked:
“Then, what in the dickens is ths
trouble?"
“I was j-just think-thinking," she re
turned, “how miserable I should be if
you were to die and I w-were to marry
s-some one who wouldn't appreciate all
this magnificence."
Mock Terrapin In Chafing Dish.
Take the dark meat of a chicken
cooked the day previous and half a
pound of calf’s liver; put together in
the chafing-dish, add two cloves of
garlic, one small onion sliced, two
stalks of celery; cover with boiling
water and cook 20 minutes. Take
out and cut into dice. Cleanse the
chafing-dish and put in a quarter of a
pound of butter; while the butter is !
melting, take the yolks of two hard- j
boiled eggs, mash to a smooth paste, |
adding gradually a cup of cream. Add
a tablespoon of flour to the butter, mix
and add the cream and eggs, stir con
stantly until it reaches the boiling
point, then add meat, a teaspoon of
salt, a dash of cayenne and just a sus
picion of mace. Serve hot on rounds
of buttered toast—Ladles’ Home Jour
nal.
In Cooking Apple*.
When only russet apples are to be j
had, a favorite way we cook them j
is to pare, quarter and bake them in
the bean pot all day. Add a little su
gar and plenty of water. When cold
it looks and tastes like cider appl#
