Grauel ' Carrots and Turnips Carrots and turnips deserve to have | a frequent place on our bills oi fare, 1 for these vegetables are not coarse or strong flavored unless bad cooking makes them so. Indeed, carrots have found a plate in !• the list of excellent foods prescribed j ( hv physicians because they contain so , much iron. They strengthen one, too. Ii and combine attractively in salads and ji with other vegetables. In some countries one sees little chil- | dren eating raw carrots and salt as our ; children eat apples. Probably the rnin orals and salts that make carrots so valuable, medicinally, are lost in cook ing but their taste is sweet and pleas- l ant, if they are young and tender. Boil the carrots in two waters and have each water salted. Scrape off . the skin and slice and fry. Fry sausage ; balls also and serve them with the slices of carrots. If you do not like the whole carrot after boiling it tender, press it ! through a sieve and season with salt and pepper and a generous amount of 1 butter. Eaten thus it is very line with i, any meat. i Steamed, diced, creamed carrots are !, rich and sweet and especially liked with boiled mutton. The name of this dish really tells the story of its preparation, j Turnips are another so-called "com-! mon" vegetable. Hut nicely prepared, j, so they are not watery, we find their , flavor agreeable and a pleasant change. || The large turnips should be pared J before they are cooked, or they will I, be strong tasting and if they are pethv remove their heart. Steaming is a bet ter method of cooking than boiling. Do j not cook too long or they will be dis- j colored. Mash the boiled turnips and season as with mashed potatoes. Servo this ; way, and if any remain put aside until another day, then add flour to hold the mass together and sha]>e into little cakes. Fry in butter and serve with meat.

P. writes: "Why does my mother in-law make fun of me for cut ting ends oft" potatoes when T bake themf She laughs at me, but I do not ; know why." Reply.—Probably she likes her pota toes moist when they are cooked. It is a matter of taste whether a potato's jskin is broken or not but if the end is cut, or the skin pierced, the moisture is lost in the process of baking. * * * I T„ M. writes: "Vinegar and salt is recommended for polishing brass but it onlv made a line brass lamp of mine I look worse. What is the trouble, (please?" i Reply.—Perhaps your brass is lac jquered. If this is so the salt and vine .gar will only polish where the lacquer is 'worn oft'. You must have the whole or inament repolished, or relacquered by a 1 professional. * s » D. S. inquires: "Where can I secure a course in domestic science that will prepare me for teaching?"

"Now, that'* what 1 call a downright. j rotten, blackguardly shame —a black guardly shame!" His voice rose in j tones as it increased iu intensity until it almost reached a shriek. Something was espected of him—at any rate, ii)dlgnatiou. Well, he was certainly indignant. "Closed its doors, indeed:" he went ! on. "Why should it close its doors? That's what 1 want to know! Why— | should—lt?" And be glared at (he un- | offending letter and the noncommittal I newspaper. He looked at Ethel, who was sur- j reptitiously concealing a yawn and was apparently quite undisturbed by the appalling news. He found no in spiration there. Back he went to his mother for support. "What right hnve banks to fail? \ There should be a law against it. i They should be made to open their i doors and keep 'em open. That's what we give 'eui our money for—so that we can take it out again when we ' want it." Poor Mrs. Chichester shook her head sadly. l i "Everything gone!" she moaned, j "Ruined, and at my age!" CHAPTER XI. The Chichesters. AI.ARIC sat on the edge of her chair and put his arm around her shoulder and tried to com fort her. "Don't you worry, mater." he said. "Don't worry. I'll go down and tell 'em what I think of 'em—exactly what I think of "em. They can't play the t fool with me. I should think not, in deed. Listen, mater. You've got a son. thank Hod. and one- no bank can take any liberties with. What we put in there we've got to have out. That's all I can say. We've simply got to have it out. There! I've said it." Alaric rose and. drawing himself up to his full five feet sis inches of man hood, glared malignantly at some linag -1 inary bank officials. His whole nature ! was roused. The future of the family depended on him. They would not de pend in vain. He looked at Ethel, who was (trying to make the best of the business by smiling agreeably on tbem both. "It's bankrupt!" wailed Mrs. Chi chester. "Failed!" suggested Ethel cheerfully. "We're beggars." continued the moth er. "I must live on charity for the rest of my life, the guest of relations I've hated the sight of and who have hated me. It's divrdful—dreadful!" All Alaric's first glow of manly en thuslasm began to cool. "Don't you think we'll get any thing';" By accident lie turned to j Ethel. She smHed meanlnalessly and said for the first time with any real 1 note of conviction: "Nothing!" Alaric sat down gloomily beside his bother. "I always thonsbt bank lireetor* were blighters. Good heavens, what a mess!" He looked the picture of mis ery. "What's to become of Etbei, mater V" "Whoever shelters me must shelter Ethel as well," replied, the mother sad ly. "But it's hard—at my age—to be— sheltered." Alaric looked at Ethel, and a feeling of pity came over him. 1» was dis tinctly to his credit since bis own wrongs occupied most of his attention. But, after all, he could buffet the world and wring a living out of it. All he had to do was to make up his mind which walk in life to choose. He was I fortunate. But Ethel, reared from Infancy in the environment of independence— it would come very hard and bitter on her. Alaric just touched Ethel's hand, and with us much feeling as he could mus ter he said: "Shocking, tough, old girl." Ethel shook her head almost deter minedly and said somewhat enigmati cally and for her heatedly: "No!" "No?" asked Alaric. "No—what?" "Charity!" said Ethel. "Cold blooded words." nnd Alaric shuddered. "What will you do, Ethel?" "Work." "At what?" "Teach." "Teach? Who in the wide world can you teach?" "Children." Alaric laughed , "Oh, come, that's rich! Eh, mater? Fancy Ethel teaching grubby little brats their A B C'»! Tush!" "Muetl" said Ethel, quite uuoioTed. "A. Chichester tench?" said Alaric, lu disgust. "Settled!" from Ethel, and she swept her lingers slowly across the piano, "Very well," Aid Alaric determined ly, "I'll work too," Mrs, Chichester looked up pleadtugly. Alaric went on: "I'll put my hand to the plow. The more I think of it tho keener lam to begin, From today I'll be a worklugoiao.'' At tbii Etbei laughed a queer, little, odd, note, summed up in A single word, "Ha!" There wee noth ing njlrthful lu it. There waj no re pionch in It, It was just an expres sion of ber honest feeling at the bare suggestion of ber brother working. Alaric turned quickly to ber. "And pjuy I uak why tUttt 'Haf \\ by. 1 ask you ? There's nothing «• vouldn't d<> if I were really put to it —not a single tiling. Is there, mater?"' Ills mq(her looked up proudly at him. "1 know that. dear. But it's dread ful to think of you—working." "Not at ail." said Alaric. "I'm just tingling all over at the thought of it. The ouly reason 1 haven't so far is Iteeause I've never had to. But now that 1 have I'll just buckle on my nrmor, so to speak, aud astonish you all." Again came that deadly, cold un sympathetic "Ha!" from Ethel. "Please don't laugh in that cheerless way, Ethel. It all down my spine. Jerry's always telling me I ought to do something—that the world is for the worker—aud all .that. He's right, aud I'm going to show him." He suddenly picked up the paper and look ►T Wj i X | " 'I v ( ■' ■ 1 : ' ■ : : | ~ ! i ■., J fj | Alaric Drew Himself to His Full Height. cd at the date. "What's today—the l&t?

He's the cove to 1 turn to in a case like this." Jarvis. a white haired, dignified but ter. who had served the family man and boy. came in at this juncture with a visiting card on a salver. Alaric picked it tip aud glanced at it. He gave an expression of disgust and flung the card back on the salver. ; "Christian Brent." I For the first time Ethel showed more than a passing gleam of Inter est. She stopped strumming the piano and stood no. very erect and verv still. Mrs. Chichester rose too "I can t 9ee any one." she wild Imperatively. "Nor I." added Alaric. "I'm all strung up." He turned to Jarvis. "Tell Mr Brent we're very sorry, but"— "I'll see him." Interrupted Ethel, al : most animatedly. "Bring Mr. Brent here, Jarvis " As Jarvis went In search of Mr. Brent Mrs. Chichester went up the great stairs. "My bead is throbbing. I'll go to my room." "Don't you worry, mater." consoled Alaric. "Leave everything to Lie. I'll thrash the whole thing out" As Mrs. Chichester disappeared Alar ic turned to his calm sister, who, strangely enough, wus showing some signs of life nnd Interest "Really going to teach?" "Yes." "Right! I'll And something, too very likely a doctor. We'll pull through somehow." Ethel made a motion toward the door I .is though to stop any further conver ! satton. | "Mr. Brent's coming," she said, al : must Impatiently. Alaric starred for the window lead ing Into the garden. "Jolly good uf yon to let him bore you. I hate the sight of the beggar myself. Always looks to me like the first conspirator Ht a play." The door ufiened. nnd Jarrts entered and ushered In "Mr. Brent" Alario hurried Into the garden. A few words of description of Chris tian Brent might be of interest sine* lie represents a type that society *l - baa with It They begin by deceiving others) they end by deceiving tbomiwlvtis. Christian Brent wns a dark, tana*, eager, scholarly looking uinn of twen ty-eight years of agn. Bit career at a diplomatist wns halted at Its ontaet by an early marriseu with tb# only daugh ter of a prospermia manufacturer. Brent wns moderately Independent In his own right, but the addition of bis wife's dowry seemed to destroy all am bition. He no longer found Interest In carrying messages to the various lega tions or embassies of Europe or in Oil ing a routine position as some one's ' secretary. From belhg an Intensely eager mau of affairs he drifted Into a social louuger-tbe lapdog of the draw ing room— where the close breath of some rare perfume meant more than the clash of Interests and the conquest of s woman greater than tiiut of a na tion. .Inst at this period Ethel Chichester was the especial object of his adora tion. Her beauty appealed to blm. Her absolute Indifference to him stung blm as a lash. It seemed to be little his powers of attraction. Const*- , quentiy he redoubled bis efforts. Ethel showed ueither tike nor dislike —Just a form of toleration. Brent ac- ; cepted this, as n dog a crumb. In the hope of sometbtng more substantial to follow He had come that morn- 1 Ing with a fixed resolve. His man ner was determined. His voice wooed as a caress. He went tenderly to Ethel the momeut the door closed on Jarvis. "How are you?" he asked, and there was a note of subdued passion tn his tone. "Fair," replied Ethel without even looking at him "Where Is your mother?" suggesting that much depended on the answer. "Lying down," answered Ethel truth fully and without any feeling. "And Alaric?" "In the garden." "Then we have a moment or two alone?" Brent put a world of mean ing Into the suggestion. "Very likely." said Ethel, picking up a score of "Boheme" and looking at It as If she saw it for the first time, all the while watching him through her half closed eyes. Brent went to her. "(.{lad to see me?" he asked. "Why not?" "I am glad to see you"—be bent over ber— "more than glad." "Really?" He sat beside ber. "Ethel," be whis pered intensely, "I am at the cross roads." "Oil!" commenced Ethel,.without any interest. "It came last night" "Did It?" "This is the end—between Sibyl and myself.'" "Is It?" "Yes—the end. Ifs been horrible from the first—horrible There's uot a word of mine—not an action—she doesn't misunderstand." "Hojv boring!" said Ethel blandly. "She would see harm even In this!" "Why?" "She'd think I was here to—to"— He stopped. "What?" Innocently Inquired Ethel. "Make love to you." Aud be looked earnestly Into her eyes. She met his look quite frankly and astonished him with the question. "Well, aren't you?" He rose anxiously. "Ethel!" "Don't you always?" persisted Ethel "Has It seemed like that to you?" "Yes." she answered candidly, "by Insinuation, never straightforwardly." "Has It offended you?" "Then vo" if" To Be Continued T \ THE I'.'
