"We could easy get a hoose wi' mair conveniences," Mrs. M'Ck)sh reminded her. She laid down the tray again and stood with her hands on her hips and her head on one side, deeply inter- ested. "Thae wee new villas in the Langhope Road are a fair treat, wi' a pantry aff the dining-room an' hot and cold everywhere." "VUloH," said Jean â€" "hateful new villas ! What are conveniences com- pared to old thick walls and queer windows and little funny stairs? Be- sides, The Rigs has a .soul." "Oh, mercy!" said Mrs. M'Cosh, picking up the tray and moving at last to the door, "that's fair heathen- ish!" Jean laughed as the door shut on their retainer, and perched herself on the end of the big old-fashioned sofa drawn up at one side of the fire. She wore a loose stockinette brown dress and looked rather like a wood elf of sorts with her golden-brown hair and eyes Use enough Thm £11 tha lab luUf fall with lukewiroi wuer. roar Iht Ibrck xwp tola- not) lata your tub aod whis op the tail u oaam.

"But you're not rich," said Jock. "No," said Jean ruefully. "Isn't it odd that no one ever leaves us a legacy? But I needn't say that, for It would be much odder if anyone did. I don't think there is a single human being in the world entitled to leave us a penny piece. We are destitute of relations. . . . Oh, well, I daresay we'll get on without a legacy, but for your comfort I'll read to you about the sort of house wo would have if some kind creature did leave us one." She dived for a copy of "Country Life" that was lying on the .sofa, and turned to the advertisements of houses to let and sell. "It is food of Mrs. Jowett letting us have this every week, it's a great support to me. I wonder if anyone ever does buy these houses, or if they are merely there to tantalize poor folk? Will this do? 'A finely timbered ttporting estate â€" seventeen bed- rooms ' " "Too small," said Jock from his evening to her boy who was going out into the world. Never had she felt .so inadequate. Ought .she to say things! to him? Warn him against lurking evils? (Jean who knew about as much of evil as a committed linnet!) But David was such a wise boy and sol caref ut It always pinched Jean's 1 heart to see him dole out his slender] stock of money, for there never was ' a Jardine born who did not love to' be generous. She looked at him fondly. "I do hope you won' find it too much of a pinch, David. The worst of it is, you will be with people who have heaps of money, and I'm afraid you'll hate to feel shabby." "It's no crime to be poor," said David stoutly. "I'll manage all right. Don't you worry. What I hate is thinking you are scrimping to give me every spare pennyâ€" but I'll work my hardest" "I know you'll do that, but play too every minute you can spare. I don't want you to shut yourself up among books. Try and get all the good of Oxford. Remember, Sonny, this is your youth, and whatever you may get later you can never get that back." She leaned back and gave a great sigh. "How I wish I could malte this a splendid time for you, but I can't my dear, I can't. . . . Anyway, no- body will have better china.

"If these country men and women would learn that there are better spring tonics in their meadows and fields than can be found in any drug .store, they would be better off," a physician once told me. Many house- wives would consider some of our "noxious weeds" delicious if they were sold on the market as early green succulent foods. But when these same plants may be had for the picking they are scorned. These early greens are wonderful blood purifiers and should make a large part of our spring diet There are many elaborate salads, etc., in which dandelions and other spring greens play an important part, but to most of us the old-fashioned "boiled greens" are the best. A simple and reliable way to cook them is to boil till tender in salted water, with a good ham bone, or lacking this, slices of bacon or salt pork may be used. When tender, drain and cut across several times with a very sharp knife. Pour ham, bacon or pork fry- ings, or, melted butter, over them and servo hot If any are left, they may be reserved by molding in tiny cups and French dressing added just be- fore serving. Never be careless in cleaning the greens. Each leaf should be washed separately, and on each side. Purslane may be cooked alone or with other greens. It makes a deli- cious addition to stews and soups, and is a member of the Portulace family. It is one of the few greens that, is good when served either hot or cold. Long before our garden greens are ready for use â€" and soTnetimes before they are planted â€" the sour dock is ^ady for use. We consider it super- ior to cither kale or spinach, and al- though some people object to using it because of the acid contents, there is in reality not enough acid in the plant to be in the least injurious. "These same people eat rhubarb without a thought of dangwr from the acid, and yet there is more acid in a single stalk of rhubarb than in enough sour dock for an entire meal. This plant will furnish greens until there are plenty of others to take its place. Lambs' quarter is not liked by some people becau.se of its flat taste, but when used with mustard, or some other leaf with a sharp taste, is deli- cious. Wild Borrel is good as greens, and also makes a delicious and unusual soup when boiled very gently in rich beef stock. Be vei-y cireful that it does not boil to pieces. When tender, serve with buttered toast. Of course, evcryon; is famili.iv with dandelions, but .some people do not know that it is the best plant known for the liver. Cowslips arc one of the best greens known, and are usually quite plentiful in low, marshy land. Of all greens, wild mustard is the favorite in our family. It is fine cook- ed with other greens or by itself. It is easy to pick and easy to clean, and makes a good substitute for lettuce. The young tender sprouts of milk- weed make an excellent substitute for asparagus. It is cooked the same and served the same. When the leaves are larger they make good greens. Greens are ready to use before the garden vegetables and fruits are reariy to be canned, and as the house- wife is not usually so busy then as she is later in the season, it is a good plan to can some for winter.â€" N. P. stay clean much longer too. Windows may be cleaned when the sun is shin- ing on them or in freezing weather, and in half the time ordinarily used. There are no window cloths to wash, which is another consideration. If windows are very dusty on out- side, wipe off with a dry cloth or crumpled paper. I also use this meth- od for cleaning pictures, mirrors, and the like.
