MUSH HOUR ON THE 'PHONE Sweethearts Select the Time Between Eight and Nine O'clock in the Evening. • The crusty man was hopping mad. "Can't get a telephone," he said. "Every booth in the place is occupied and has been occupied for the last half hour. I never heard so many long-winded conversations going on at one time." ' "Between eight and nine o'clock in the evening," volunteered the opera tor, sweetly, "there are more overtime telephone conversations registered than in any other in the 24." "What is the cause of it?" snapped the crusty man. "Sweethearts," said the girl. "For various reasons He and She cannot meet every evening, so on the off nights they satisfy their longing by talking over the telephone. It takes a long time to say all the things they want to say. Under the circum stances other people ought to be patient." , "Sweethearts! Humph!" scoffed the crusty man, and he didn't look pa tient, not one bit. LOW COLONIST FARES TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST. Union Pacific Passenger Depart ment announces that Colonist Fares will be in effect from Sept 15 to Oct. 15, 1909, to all points in the West and Northwest. This year the West looks more promising than ever. Now is the time to secure land at low prices, and, at the same time, to visit the many inter esting points in the West and North west, at which liberal stopover ar rangements may be made. A better estimate of raw lands can be made now than formerly, because these lands are in proximity to new farms that are producing wonderful crops. For descriptive literature, writ# to E. L.

Making Use of the Things at Hand. Real genius displays itself in the cook who has few materials and uten sils to use. Almost anybody with all the markets at command can prepare a good meal, but the person who is able to do this with little to do with is an artist of no mean value. At a little evening reception the punch bowl was planned to be decorated about its base with great clusters of purple grapes. At tho last moment no grape leaves could be procured so we resorted to the roof garden and picked enough leaves of the castor bean on which to arrange the grapes. These leaves were even more beauti ful than the grape leaves would have been. How many beautiful and usable things we have about us all the time if we just open our eyes. We find what we are looking for. Did you ever want a bread board with none available? Try using a well-floured piece of inanila paper. It serves every purpose. Two pieces of paper used to sift baking powder and flour are a great convenience as they are lifted and emptied so easily. Use a dish set in the top of your teakettle for a double boiler. Save nasturtium seeds to pickle, and use as capers. Household Hints. Put a little paper funnel in the opening of your berry pie and the juice will boil up in it, and none be wasted. Never throw away dry cheese: grate it, add cream, red pepper and salt, and serve it as a cream cheese. There are so many nice ways of using dry cheese, with macaroni, on crack ers toasted, and in soufiles. For the First Course. There is nothing that seems quite so nice to begin a luncheon with as fresh fruit served in an attractive manner. A section or two of orange with a few beautiful cherries on the stems and garnished with the leaves, makes a pretty service. A touch of green always adds beauty to a dish, and there are always leaves. wwjiy ¥ » HAT furniture ran give such finish to a room as a tender woman's face." George Eliot. "The beauty or a lovely woman is like music." Ibid. German Salad. Chop line one small head'or cab bage and one onion. Season with salt and cayenne. Cut into small cubes, one slice of salt pork. Fry un til brown; then pour over the cab bage. Mix well and add a little hot vinegar. Refrigerator Helps. It is not advisable to pile the food in it promiscuously. The slice of breaklast ham is often carelessly left in juxtiposition with the dinner roast, which spoils the flavor of the latter. A dish of cold boiled onions is thoughtlessly set near the butter, which at once absorbs its distinctive odor without advantage to itself. Celery is laid near the cream pitcher, and turnips or boiled cabbage set by the cooling custard for supper. Through such carelessness and ignor ance the loss is sometimes great. Milk, cream and butter should be kept as much as possible from all food, as they readily absorb any flavor at hand. Meat and poultry should not H>st against each other, but be ar ranged so that the air can circulate about them. If meat and poultry are to hang, they should be suspended with the choicest part down, that they may settle there. Household Hints. Save all your paper cracker boxes with the waxed paper to wrap and pack the sandwiches when going on a. picnic. Don't keep house without a spatu la, (a flexible broad-bladed knife), Ihey are indispensable in scraping out dishes, in cake making, for spreading icings and handling an omelet. Peach Blossom Cake.

Grate six ears of corn, add three eggs, a good pinch of salt and a table spoonful of sugar, a cup and a hnlf ol milk, a teaspoonful of baking powder and Lat thoroughly together. Drop by the tablespoonful into smoking hot fat. Serve with or without sugar syrup.
