nodded. "And the past two winters

I saw her wince at that, and I felt

"Of course," I rattled on, "If I had
found that you loved me, I should

I am free to follow my own sweet

'You're not going. Hon 7" she said.

The new collar band is quite straight

Marvellous ingenuity has boon
shown in ine invention of - -it .i i 1 1 pies
that are re or less local and that
iu a few more years will doubtless
have become absolutely nnkiiow n. In
farming disirieis, where pie is i on
sidei ed a necessary art hie of diet in
at least two out of three als. when
the season nf small trniis lias passed,
housewives have only apples and
dried fruits to fall back upon 'villi
which to make pies. So il is mil
strange ihai some recipes quite un
known to urban families should have
been devised. There, too, in pies as
in preserves, variety is counted of
consequence. In localities where elder
beries arc ni.-ule into jelly and mar
malade tiny are also used for pies.
Kven iu the summer, when oilier more
palatable fruils abound, quantities are
stewed for this purpose. They are
also dried or canned to use in the
same way iu winter or spring.
Pics made of dried apples, slewed
and mashed, arc common in spring
time in various paris nf the I niied
Slates, but. as far as I can learn, it
