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.

cases where It does. So cheer up if
you have this disagreeable dream.

The bright spots in my life are when

Summer Salads.
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.
