DISHES THAT ARE DIFFERENT.
.Pleasant Surprises a Hostess May Set
Before Her Guests.
There are many times when the
housekeeper who expects company
•wants to set before her guests some-
thing that is a little different, but
Ajwhich she can make herself without
r the apparatus of a professional caterer.
The recipes given below are easy to
make for a person of average knowl-
edge of cookery, and do not require so
much effort that the hostess need tire
herself. They are not too elaborate, j
but depart from those of the cook
books:
Pineapple Eggs—Soak the contents
of half a box of gelatine in water and
■when dissolved add a cupful of grated
pineapple (canned or otherwise), and
the juice of one lemon, a cupful of boil-
ing water, and a cupful of sugar;
Btrain and set away to harden. As
Boon as the hardening process begins,
whip quickly with an eggbeater and j
fold in the whites of five eggs. Mold
In eggshellr and serve in any fanciful
way.
Ice Cream Cake.-^Cre&m two cups
of sugar with one of butter, add a cup-
ful of sweet milk, 3^ cupfuls of flour,
and the whites of nine eggs; stir in
two scant teaspoonfuls of baking pow-
A COURTSHIP BEHIND
WHITE LILACS
By ROSE E. HUBNER
(Copyright, Kord Pub. Co.)
Eleanor Mackey raised her ruffled
parasol to shield her eyes from the
dazzling sun. The day was unusually
warm for early spring. She was the
adopted daughter of the rector; the
pet of the older folks, and the awe-
inspiring idol of the timid Lotharios,
who craned their necks to see her
pass, and turned crimson when the
radiance of her smile fell upon them.
She turned into a broad, quiet resi-
dence filroel and tripped merrily
along.
AH but smothered by an old-fash-
ioned garden, boxwood-bordered and
vine-embowered, stood the cottage of
Mrs. Graham, and toward (Ills hfWP,

how he met. you, lovey; he talked of
little else. I could scarcely get him to
tell me about his illness."
"Has he been sick?"
Eleanor looked anxiously down to
where he sat on the lower step.
"Oh, nothing much; only fever," he
answered.
Both women saw that his hat shook
in his trembling hand.
"Why, Harry, what's the matter?"
exclaimed Mrs. Graham.
With a groan her nephew's head
sank upon his breast and he slid to
the ground unconscious.
"A pusson whut's had 'laria feber
ain't no call to overdid theyseffs," de-
clared Aunt Tillie, as she hastily car-
ried a pail of cold water to bathe I ho
face of "Mars Harry."
CALLKR "LEFT IN A HUFF.
Innocent Thou£ht of Business Man
That Gave Serious Offense.
Two business men had been talking
good naturedly the other day. Their
conversation had reviewed a number of
things, and a remark made by the pro-
prietor as his caller was leaving
brought up the subject of prosperity
In a rather awkward way.
"Business with me has been a little
dull of late. I've had only a few call-
ers," he remarked.
The friend smilingly rejoined:
"You'll have enough of them In a
Bhort time—prosperity's coming right
along. Why," he added, emphatically,
"the uext time I drop around, instead
of being able to chat with you for half
an hour, there'll bo so many people
ahead of me that It'll take me two
hours to get to you—maybe I can't
see you at all."
"I hope so," rejoined the proprietor,
cheering up over the prospects of re-
newed business activity.
His caller literally "stormed" out of
the office, leaving his erstwhile host
In a state of bewilderment as to what
had happened.
INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT.
■grange.
English Tart.—Line a deep pie plate
with a rich crust and fill with goose-
berry preserves, sprinkling a little
flour over the top. When baked cover
•with a maringue or with whipped
cream, sweeten to taste, and set on
Ice
German Dumplings.
Remove the crust from two or three
small stale rolls and cut the crumbs
intr small pieces. Lay the crusts aside.
Put the crumbs into a basin and pour
over them enough boiling milk to near-
ly cover. Soak 10 or 15 minutes, and
then press, to remove superfluous
milk. Put over the lire and stir with
a spoon until hot, but not scorched.
Push back and season with salt and
pepper. Cut a half pound of bacon
Into small pieces and fry with some of
the crusts cut Into dice. When done,
add to the soaked bread, with two
tablespoonfuls of butter cut In small
pieces and enough beaten egg to bind
the mixture without making too soft.
It must be stiff enough to hold its
shape when rolled into dumplings.
Flour the hands freely and make the
dumplings of equal size. Plunge into
a saucepan of boiling water, cover
ihtly, and cook ten minutes without
Icovering. Drain; put ou a hot dish
atil ready to serve.
Meat Pasty for Lunch.
Put one pound of steak into a sauce-
pan with an ounce of suet, and just a
little water, not enough to cover it;
cover closely and gently cook for about
an hour; let It get cold, then cut up
Into small dice and season rather
highly with pepper and salt. Make
some pastry with four ounces of but-
Lter, two ounces of lard, or cold bacon
gripping, and eight ounces of flour;
rub both butter and lard into the
flour, add a teaspoonful of Borwlck's
baking powder, mix with cold water;
roll out rather less than half an Inch
thick, cut into rounds about six inches
across, on one-half put some of the
meat with a little gravy to moisten it;
turn the other half over, press the
edges. Bake in a brisk oven till the
pastry is cooked.
Dry Curry.
Mince four onions; cut fowl or veal
In small pieces, and fry in butter; add
two tablespoonfuls of curry powder,
and put all in a small stewpan. Rinse
out the frying pan with a teacupful of
boiling water, and pour amongst the
curry. Season with salt, cover closely
and stew till tender. Add a table-
Bpoonful of lemon pickle and two of
cream. Stir, and boil five minutes.
Serve with boiled rice round the dish,
•the curry in the center.
Raisine.
To make this famous French mar-
• malade allow an equal weight of
■grapes and pears, cook In a little water
until soft, then press through a col-
ander 'to remove the seeds. Add the
pears,' £ored and sliced, and simmer
until thick, stirring almost constantly.
Whep. thick sweeten to taste, scald,
strain through a colander and can.
A Mexican Dish.
Into a baking dish put a layer of
macaroni (after it has been thoroughly
cooked in salted water), then a few
spoonfuls of gravy from roast beef;
cover with tomato catsup, then an-
other layer of macaroni, gravy and
catsup on top. Set in the oven to
brown.
Sick Room Shade.
In the center of a common pie tin
punch a hole large enough to slip over
the gas jet, and drop in place right
Bide up. It will not interfere in any
way with lighting the gas, and will
be found to shade the patient's eyes
perfectly. It also allows sufficient
light, for nurse to attend to her duties.
Beef and Carrots.
Take one pound of round of beef
and chop coa: sely. Chop three carrots
fine and cook with the meat in water
just to cover until done. Season this
with salt, pepper, butter and an onion
grated. Thicken with a tablespoonful
of flour, rubbed smooth with cold
milk.
Creamed Carrots on Steak.
Wash and Scrape carrots, cook un-
til soft in boiling salt water, pour over
them thin cream sauce, and pour the
whole over a hot broiled steak. Serve
at once. Eac?i adJs to the flavor of

Eleanor's thoughts were checked as
she caught sight of a blossom that
hung high over her.
"I must have that one," she thought.
To reach it from the yard was impossi-
ble, and, after a couple of ineffectual
Jumps, she looked about for assistance.
No one was coming down the deserted
street. "Maybe I can reach it from
the wall. I'll try, anyway," she de-
cided. Grasping the iron pickets, she
succeeded in raising herself to the top
of the wall, and stood face to face
with a young man, who appeared to
rise out of space from behind the
euonymus that hedged the grounds.
"Oh!" gasped Eleanor.
"Ah!" laughed the young man.
"I just wanted to get that lilac,"
stammered the embarrassed girl; "I
didn't know anyone was here."
"Mrs. Graham is away," he replied.
"I know she is, that's the reason I'm
just helping myself—I mean I'm not
exactly just helping myself without
lief. Auntie Graham lets me have, any-
thing I want, and I just want that—
one—there."
The young man raised himself on
tiptoe and loked quizzically over at
Ihe bunch of lilacs that lay beside the
parasol on the. sidewalk, then his
glance went back to the flushed face of
the girl who stood surrounded by the
rustling leaves of the bush.
"Upon my word, I envy the blossom
to be so ardenly longed for by one so
fair."
Again his amused glance went back
to the gathered lilacs.
"Oh, >f you think I've been greedy—
but really I didn't know Auntie Gra-
ham left anyone to keep count of the
lilacs—besides, I've a right, for I've
helped care for these bushes ever
since I was young, and—"
A ringing laugh interrupted her
half angry words.
"I didn't know Aunt Emmie had a
piece—you called her 'Auntie,' I be-
lieve?"
"Aunt Emmie! Is she your aunt?"
"Yes; surely this isn't Eleanor, the
girl Aunt Em has always been writing
about—the one who Aunt Em calls
'Sunbeam'?"
"Yes, Mrs. Graham calls me Sun-
beam, and I've always called her
Auntie. Did you say she was your
aunt?"
"Yes; permit me to introduce my-
self. I am Harry Graham, and you, I
suppose, are Miss Mackey?"
He seemed in no hurry to bring the
unexpected tete-a-tete to an end, but
stood idly flipping the leaves of the
hedge with his thumb and finger.
"Aunt Em's coming home to-night;
she didn't know I was coming here; I
got a telegram this morning telling me
to make myself at home; she'll reach
here at eleven."
The next morning Eleanor was
gathering violets, while the dew still
hung upon the glistening leaves, when
a remembered voice greeted her.
"Are you a flower, that I always
find you among the blossoms?"
Harry Graham, hat in hand, stood
In the walk regarding her with open
admiration.
"Good-morning," she said, as she
shook hands with him across the vio-
let border.
"Won't you come in? The rector Is
at home."
I can't stay now. Aunt Emmie
yvme last night, and she has a bad
headache this morning. I offered to
come for you, as you seem to be the
panacea for all her ills—won't you
come?"
Together they walked through the
quiet coolness of the morning. Elea-
nor, ih her haste to reach her beloved
"adopted aunt," kept just ahead of her
escort; her petite figure moved so
lightly, so gracefully over the moss
lined stones, that she reminded him
of some fairy sprite, some will-o'-the
wisp—always just ahead, just out of
bis reach.
"Really, you needn't run. Aunt
Em's not dangerously ill; in fact, she
said to tell you to come this afternoon
if you were busy, but I forgot that part
®f the message until this minute."
■ He quickened his pace and walked
by her side.
The lilacs nodded a friendly wel
come as they passed between the
rustling bushes. Mrs. Graham stood
on the top Btep waiting.
"How is your head feeling, Auntie,
dear?" asked Eleanor, as sho threw
her arms around the neck of her life-
long friend.
"Better, much better. Harry insist-
ed upon hurrying for you. He told me
A young civil engineer, with all the
enthusiasm and ambition of youth, ho
had entered his profession, only to find
that a plunge from college into tho
woods and swamps was a change too
great for even his strong constitution
to stand. To recuperate from the fever
which followed he went to his aunt's,
where he knew a hearty welcome and
the quiet of a secluded village awulted
him. Now, as he lay in the white,
clean room and looked with conseions
eyes, for the first time in many days,
Into the dimpled face of the little,
nurse, whose gentle fingers soothed
his still throbbing head, he was glad
he came; glad he had fever; glad of
anything that kept her near him.
"I am so thankful you are better,"
Eleanor said; "here comes Auntie with
your broth. The doctor says you are
out of danger now."
The lilacs had withered and gone
and the early roses were scattering
their leaves in tinted flakes over the
grass, before he was strong enough to
walk about the grounds and sit beneath
the arbor and listen to the music of
Eleanor's voice, as she read to him.
Then he was suddenly recalled to his
home, back to his interrupted work.
Eleanor was away when he left.
When Mrs. Graham laid in her hand
his note of farewell, a feeling of unut-
terable loneliness crept into her soul.
She let Mrs. Graham turn her pale
face up to her own and gaze deep into
her eyes. Without a word Eleanor
kissed her, and turning, walked down
the path between the lilac bushes and
down the quiet street.
The summer slipped into autumn;
theu the cold breath of winter held in
check the impulsive spring.
A new sweetness, a womanly loveli-
ness, added a new charm to Eleanor.
That farewell note she kept; no eyes
but hers ever beheld the missive. All
his letters she kept; letters telling of
his perfect health, his ambitions, of
his memory of a beautiful summer
gone by, of his gratitude to her, and
his love for his aunt.
Eleanor reproached herself for the
aching void his letters left In her
heart. Was he not kind to remember
her, to be grateful for the little she
had done to help him master his ill-
ness?
As she approached the cottage one
morning her thoughts were far away.
It was just one year ago that she came
that glorious morning to gather a
bunch of lilacs. She was living over
again the anxious hours of his illness,
the happy hours of his recovery, when,
like a wave fraught with recollections,
a delicious fragrance swept over her.
Lilacs! Yes, they were again in bloom,
the white ones nodding to the purple
ones in the slow moving breeze.
Eleanor took a bloom from the low-
est branch and pressed It against her
cheek as she thoughtfully walked up
the well-known path between the over-
hanging foliage.
"Eleanor!"
Harry Graham, bronzed by wind and
sun, stood in her path.
"Eleanor, I have waited so long;
speak, darling; tell me—tell me, dear
heurt, that 1 have not waited iu vain;
tell me you love mt, for, dearest, I love
you so."
For a moment she stood looking at
him, as one looks at happiness but
once in a lifetime; then over her face
swept a change—the letters! so friend-
ly, only friendly.
"Why—did—you—wait?" she hesi-
tatingly asked.
"Ah, Eleanor, the waiting has bee i
hard. 1 promised Aunt Emmie; she
guessed my secret. I promised her to
wait one year. She thought you too
young to know your own heart. To my
aunt I owe everything. I promised I
would not by word or letter try to win
your love—it was a mad promise! How
I longed to know If you cared for me.
Eleanor, sweetheart, tell me."
He stood close to her. She dropped
her eyes to hide the tell-tale light of
love. Taking her hand, that held the
spray of lilac, he clasped It In his
own.
"The year has passed. To-day my
life is either made happy or ruined.
The lilacs, darling—it was on a throne
of lilacs that I flrBt saw you. Am I to
remember the blossoms always with
pain or joy?"
"I thought," Bhe whispered, "the 11
lacs would never bloom for me agjiin
as they bloomed before. I though'.—"
"Eleanor! you love me—you—yes,
ah, my darling, my own."
In his arms he held her close, crush
Ing the white spray until its fragrance
covered them like an incense.
After Inflammatory Rheumatiim, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores Developed—Only Cutl-
\cura Proved Successful.
/"About four years ago I had a very
severe attack of inflammatory rheuma-
tism. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out in bunches. I also
had three large bed sores on my back.
I did not gain very rapidly, and ray
appetite was very poor. I tried many
'sure cures' but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re-
solvent I had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon I felt
bettor. The bed sores went very soon
after a few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when I used Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
It began to regain its former glossy ap-
pearance. Mrs. Lavlna J. Henderson
