A shroud may not be altogether a pleasant thing to see In one's dreams, but It Is accounted by nearly all the soothsayers to be a favorable omen to dream of that grue some object. For one thing such a dream signifies that you are to Inherit some money. It Is true, though, say the wise ones, that seeing a shroud In a dream Is a warning to the dreamer to take better care of his health or he will have a fit of illness which will In terfere with his business. IJut It Is merely a tendency to Illness which Is predicted and not Illness itself. If you nre careful of your health your business will prosper and your fortune Increase. If you dream that you see a shroud removed from a dead person you might wake up with affright at the ghastly sight. Put really there would be no evil omen In the dream which would call for any worrying. The worst that It could mean would be that you are going to have some little strife and contention with a person with whom you least expected to have trouble. Put the difficulty will he of short du ration ; you will get the best of the argument and all will be smooth sail ing again. In looking over many hun dreds, or rather thousands, of dream Interpretations which have been hand ed down from generation to generation It Is found that the saying “ Dreams go by- contraries” does not apply so fre quently as Is generally supposed. Put the dream of a shroud is one of the cases where It does. So cheer up if you have this disagreeable dream. Think of the coming legacy and the flourishing of your business. (C opyright.)

The bright spots in my life are when the servnnt quits the place, Although that grim disturbance brings a frown on Nellie’s face; The week between the old girl’s reign and entry of the new Is one that’s filled with happiness and comfort through and through. The charm of living’s back again—a charm that servants rob— I like the home, I like the meals, when Nellie's on the job. çJ g -v jV C r ■opyright^ Rann-dom Reels TIIE SL E E P IN G POIICII HE sleeping porch Is something which Is added to a house In order to provide more room for fresh air and feet.

With head lettuce in every garden and an abundance of the leaf lettuce, peas, onions, nnd other crisp flavor vegetables, one need never want for salad material. A salad bow-1 of crisp fresh lettuce served with French, mayohnaise, Thousand Islnnd dressing, or even the common variety of boiled dressing, makes a palatable salad. A small bed of mustard (the small black-seeded variety) makes a most excellent salad plant and a fine dish of greens. The lenves may be picked nnd served alone with salad dressing or mixed with lettuce. The pungent taste and good flavor is most appetiz ing. Added finely minced to any vege table salad from potatoes to peas, it adds to the flavor. • Salads rich with mayonnaise will be sufficiently nourishing to serve as a main dish at luncheon.

Think not that I’d deny her help or grudge the servant’s pay, When one departs we try to get an other right away.
