bottom of a buttered baking dish and 
over it a layer of boiled oyster plant cut 
in small pieces. Season with salt and pep¬

THE LAMP IN THE WEST. 
Venus has lit her silver lamp 
Low in the purple West, 
Breathing: a soft and mellow light 
Upon the sea’s full breast: 
It is the hour when velvet winds 
Tremble the alder’s crest. 
Far out, far out the restless bar 
Starts from a troubled sleep. 
Where roaring through the narrow straits 
The meeting waters leap: 
But still that shining pathway leads 
Across the lonely deep. 
When I sail out the narrow straits 
Where unknown dangers be. 
And cross the troubled, moaning bar 
To the mysterious sea— 
Dear (tod. wilt Thou not set a lamp 
Low in the West for me? 
—Ella lligginson, in New York Mail.

Sour cream makes a delicious salad 
dressing for cucumbers. Chill a cupful 
of rich sour cream until very cold, then 
beat well for five minutes, adding, while 
beating, a tablespoonful of powdered 
sugar and a half teaspoonful of lemon 
juice. Slice chilled cucumbers very thin, 
and serve with this dressing.

Peacock feathers, real and imitation,

them is past. Some are very pretty, and 
some very freaky, especially in the old

in millinery. We have never seen so many tinue unti] a]1 are used . Have the top

There are several vegetarian restaur¬ 
ants in this city, which make a pleasant 
change from the monotonous round of 
ordinary “quick lunch” places, even where 
one is not disposed to adopt their ideas 
entirely. Recent and repeated revelations 
or assertions concerning diseased meat 
and abominable packing-house conditions 
will undoubtedly add a new argument to 
the vegetarian battery, and give addi¬ 
tional force to one of these hostelries, 
where they proudly head the bill of fare 
with this assertion: “Nothing that ever 
squealed.” But we wish, every time we 
go to an anti-meat restaurant, that they 
would cook their vegetables better. The 
soups are really very good, but there is a 
monotony about most of the other dishes 
that makes them taste like imitation food. 
This lack of savor does not seem due to 
the absence of meat; we think that the 
vegetarian cook is lacking in imagination. 
At one time we kept house on a vegetar¬ 
ian basis for half a year, during Autumn 
and Winter; milk and butter were per¬ 
mitted, and the use of such herbs as sage, 
parsley, thyme and marjoram gave flavor, is cut in sizes for girls of 14 to 16 years

System Spells 
Success 
A quitter never gets 
started except down 
stream. For him a log 
to drift on and over the 
falls. 
A light - weight can 
never do anything but 
paddle a canoe with a 
pretty girl in it on a 
backwater. For him 
stick in the mud on the 
bank. 
A fool you can never 
count on. He may dive 
over the falls in despair 
or rock the canoe, for 
fun, get tangled in the 
bow line and drown in 
shallow water. 
But if you are a real 
man, or a real woman, 
young or old, there is a 
secure place for you, on 
a sincere, serious, system¬ 
atized sales staff that 
simply won't let you fall 
out or fail — the sales

One man made $1950, com¬ 
missions, bonuses and prizes, in 
three months recently. A woman

hard to earn it as most men do to 
get less. 
How did they do it ? System — 
sober, earnest, sincere, determined 
system. They were working with 
us on a basis of sincerity and system 
and, being a real man and a real 
woman, they just couldn’t fail. 
We can’t afford to let good human 
material go to waste. We believed 
in them. We helped them. And 
they just had to succeed.
