Avoid Needless Work by Planning 
Saving a Scorched Kettle—More of “The Broad Highway” 
N EVER make yourself needless work 
by being careless,” a wise friend 
often told me. “Very often a little care 
and a five-cent funnel will save an un¬ 
pleasant cleaning-up. Some women spend 
more time ‘cleaning-up’ after their work 
than they spent at the actual task. 
It takes but a minute to tie a paper bag 
over the mouth of the food-chopper before 
making dried bread or crackers into 
crumbs, and there is not a scattered par¬ 
ticle to pick up afterward. 
A ten-eent enameled can-filler will save 
countless spillings, all of which must be 
cleared away. Use it for turning either 
dry or liquid supplies into jars. 
A tiny funnel for filling salt and pepper 
shakers saves as much time as it does 
annoyance. Filling the shakers is never 
so trying as wiping up the scatterings of 
gritty salt and sneezy pepper. 
An enameled funnel is best to use for 
filling vinegar cruets and placing any 
liquid in bottles. If there is none at hand, 
a small pitcher saves spilling. For dry 
ingredients time is saved by improvising 
a funnel of stiff paper. 
Keep the old sugar scoop for putting 
soil into the flower pots. 
Learning not to scatter saves an aston¬ 
ishing amount of work.— Alice Marga¬ 
ret Ashton. _ 
April Days 
The trees, new-robed in dainty green, 
A miracle appear. 
As frosty Winter quits the scene 
And April days are here. 
The air is filled with joyous song, 
F The fields are bright in hue. 
And silver cloudlets drift along 
A sky of radiant blue.

If Vegetables Scorch 
W HEN the vegetable kettle boils dry 
it seems instinctive to dash in a 
quantity of water. Nothing could be 
worse, since this carries the scorched 
flavor throughout the contents of the 
kettle and it is all spoiled. 
Instead, remove the kettle from the 
fire as quickly as possible and set it into 
another vessel containing cold water. If 
the scorching has been slight, it is often 
possible to turn out the contents after a 
short time perfectly free from any un¬ 
pleasant flavor. Place in a clean kettle 
and continue cooking if necessary. Never 
use the same kettle until it has been 
thoroughly cleaned and scoured to remove 
the scorched taste.

self and two voices; and the first voice I 
will call Pro. and the other Contra. 
Myself. May the devil take that 
“Gabbling Dick”! 
Pro. He probably will. 
Myself. Had he not told of the man 
who looked at my Virgil—over her 
shoulder— 
Pro. Or had you not listened. 
Myself. Ah, yes!—but that he spoke 
the truth is beyond all doubt; the mis¬ 
placed Virgil proves that. However, it is 
certain that I can remain no longer in the 
Hollow. 
Contra. Well, there is excellent ac¬ 
commodation at “The Bull.” 
Pro. And, pray, why leave the Hollow? 
Myself. Because she is a woman— 
Pro. And you love her! 
Myself. To my sorrow. 
Pro. Being a mad, jealous fool— 
Myself. As you will. 
Pro. —who has condemned her un¬ 
heard—with no chance of justification. 
Myself. Women are deceitful by na¬ 
ture; at least so I have read in my books— 
Pro. Do you remember how willingly 
she worked for you with those slender, 
capable hands of hers—? 
Myself. Why remind me of this? 
Pro. You must needs miss her pres¬ 
ence sorely; her footstep, that was always 
so quick and light— 
Myself. Truly wonderful in one so 
nobly formed! 
Pro. —and the way she had of sing¬ 
ing softly tp herself. 
Myself. A beautiful voice— 
Pro. With a caress in it! And then, 
her habit of looking at you over her 
shoulder. 
Myself. Ah, yes!—her lashes a little 
drooping, her lips a little parted. 
Contra. A comfortable inn is “The 
Bull.” 
Myself (hastily). Yes, yes—certainly. 
Pro. Ah! the scarlet witchery of her 
lips! A mutinous mouth, with its sudden, 
bewildering changes! You never quite 
knew which to watch oftenest—her eyes 
or her lips— - 
Contra (hoarsely). Excellent cook¬ 
ing at “The Bull”! 
Pro. And how she would berate you 
and scoff at your Master Epictetus, and 
dry-as-dust philosophers! 
l Myself. I have sometimes wondered 
at her pronounced antipathy to Epictetus. 
Pro. And she called you a “creature.” 
Myself. The meaning of which I 
never quite fathomed. 
Pro. And, frequently, a “pedant.” 
Myself. I think not more than four 
times. 
Pro. On such occasions, you will re¬ 
member, she had a petulant way of twitch¬ 
ing her shoulder towards you and frown¬ 
ing, and, occasionally, stamping her foot; 
and, deep within you, you loved it all, you 
know you did. 
Contra. But that is all over and you 
are going to “The Bull.” 
Myself (hurriedly). To be sure—“The 
Bull.” 
Pro. And, lastly, you cannot have for¬ 
gotten—you never will forget- — the tender 
bosom that pillowed your battered head— 
the pity of her hands—those great, scald¬ 
ing tears, the sudden, swift caress of her 
lips, and the thrill in her voice when she 
said— 
Myself (hastily). Stop! that is all for¬ 
gotten. 
Pro. You lie! You have dreamed of it 
ever since, working at your anvil, or lying 
upon your bed; you have loved her from 
the beginning! 
Myself. And I did not know it; I was 
very blind. The wonder is that she did 
not discover my love long ago, for, not 
knowing it was there, how should I trv 
to hide it? 
Contra. O Blind, and more than blind! 
Didn’t she once say that she could read 
you like a book? 
Myself. She did. 
Contra. And have you not often sur- 
prised a smile upon her lips, and w ondered? 
Myself. Many times. 
Contra. Have you not beheld a thin- 
veiled mockery in her look? Why, poor 
fool, has she not mocked you from the 
first? Were not her smiles but coquetry 
and derision? 
But why should she deride 
Myself. 
me? 
Contra. 
cence. 
Myself. 
Contra. 
For your youth and — inno- 
My youth! my innocence! 
Didn’t she call you boy! 
boy!—and laugh at you? 
Myself. Well—even so— 
Contra (with bitter scorn). O Boy! 
O Innocent of the innocent! Go to, for a 
bookish fool! Forget thy pure Sir 
THE STORY SO FAR 
P ETER is sure that Charmian has 
deceived him. He suspects that 
in his absence at his forge, where he 
must work doubly hard because 
George, the owner, has disappeared, 
Charmian is meeting a villainous 
gallant from whom Peter once pro¬ 
tected her. A meeting with George 
has resulted in a fight Peter strove to 
avoid, and the blacksmith’s fist 
knocks him unconscious. In spite of 
Charmian’s sympathy and help, 
Peter lets a malevolent pedler poison 
his mind against her. 
Galahads, thy meek and lowly lovers serv¬ 
ing their ladies on bended knee; open 
thine eyes, learn that women to-day love 
only the strong hand, the bold eye, the 
ready tongue. Thy tongue hath not the 
trick, nor thy mind the nimbleness for the 
wanning of a fair and lovely lady. When 
Lothario comes, must she not run to meet 
him with arms outstretched? 
“To-morrow,” said I, clenching my fists, 
“to-morrow I will go away!” 
Being now come to the Hollow', I turned 
aside to the brook, and, kneeling down, I 
gazed at myself in the dark, still water of 
the pool; and I saw that the night had, 
indeed, set its mark upon me. 
“To-morrow,” said I again, nodding to 
the wild face below, “ to-morrow I will go 
far hence.” 
Now I heard a sudden gasp behind me 
and, turning, beheld Charmian. 
“Peter! is it you?” she whispered. 
“Who else, Charmian? Did I startle 
you? 
“Yes—oh, Peter!” 
“Are you afraid of me?” 
“You are like one w T ho has w'alked with 
—death!” 
I rose to my feet, and stood looking 
down at her. 
“Are you afraid of me, Charmian? 
“No, Peter.” 
“I am glad of that,” said I, “becauseI 
w'ant to ask you—to marry me, Charmian.
