To clean linoleum, melt a quarter of a pound of beeswax with a pint of turpentine. Mix together, and put on the floor with. a, sponge. Rub in viitb a piece of velvet. In order to remove splash marks of soap on Frenoh. polished warhstand, saturate a piece of flannel or cotton wool with methy- lated spirits, and gently. dab the parts affected, allowing the spirit to dry each time. Do not rub when the marks have quite dis- appeared. but leave till next day. Then rub with a little linseed oil. Custard Sauce Half a pint of milk, one egg, sugar, vanilla. Beat up the egg, sweeten the milk. stir these ingredients well together, and flavour with vanilla. Put the mixture into a small jug, place the jug in a saucepan of hot water, and gtir the sauce one way until it thickens. Serve in a tureen with the pudding. Vegetarian Pie I One pound of potatoes, a pound of onions, do email cupful of cooked lentils. half a, pound of butter, a little milk. Butter a piedish and fill it with layers of potatoes and onion, sprinkle each layer with salt, pepper, and a few cooked lentils; the top layer miiut ba potatoes.

Rice Custard Without Eggs I One-half pound of rice, two quarts of new milk; one-fourth pound of bugar and dessertspoonful of butter. Wash, the rice through two boiling waters, then rinse in oold water. This takes away the raw, musty taste that, is disguised w hen eggs are used.

It will melt and eprea-d evenly over the custard and prevent the wn that forms over milk custards and pud- dings. Bake in a slow, etcady oven. Slow, Steady heat gradually cooks the gra-ins of rice and thickens the milk to a delicious ous- ka-d. Flavour with lemon, nutmeg, cr .van-ilia. Marrying Younger Men I It is a generally accepted idea that a, maai Should be older than the woman he marries, and just because it is the general tiiong-ht. and because so many defy the custom and reverse this order of things, always is this snbjeat discussed with vigour. Ka&h season of brides shows Ruch a falling- off in the age <n the bridegrooms that in time it might be believed there will neror be any of those unions between May and December. The old man's darling-the girl in her teens wedding the man who has passed his ptrim-c-is but seldom seen now, •whilst the marriage of the woman at thirty with the man of twenty-live, which was at ore time a rare exception, is now almost unnoticed. It really matters little what age either man or wife if their marriage leads to happiinesis, and nowadays happiness appears to be dealt out tar more generously in those ca-.es where the woman is slightly older than her husband than when the man is much the senior. Probably it is that woman is more adap- table than her husband. At thirty-five or iorty she is far more able to adapt herself to the customs, tastes, and daily routine of her husband's life than the man of forty could break off his habits to enter into those natural to the girl of twenty-five. The woman who marries a younger man tries to keep young for his sake, and enjoys IL far longer period of youth than if wedded to an older man who is beginning to live in the p-a?t instead of revelling in the present, .md looking forward to the future. Disparity in agea usually makes both the' man and the woman consider well before they take the final plunge. They are not so tempted to take the ridk, even when they know their love for each other is sincere, without having thought out all the pros. and eons; and once having made up her mind to ma-rry this young man the woman who is his senior will then study to keep his love and interest. A young girl often forgets this deans much in married happiness.
