June, which is the month of class days, weddings and many other festiv- ities, brings out such delightful occa- slons as the serving of ice cream be- neath the moon, the wedding break- fast that may come as late as dinner and other such reversals of routine that demand the unusual to meet them adequately. The ice cream and eake which so often terminate, and in good style, the Sunday dinner, seem not AMONG MOUSSE ROLLS ARE quite elaborate enough to cope with | the situation. The question that should be asked and answered is, “What can I serve Il be different and more deli- Haven't you often felt the impulse to uproot wildflowers, come upon in lonely leafy places, and transplant them to the home garden plot? Here are a few hints to help you do this successfully: Select the heartler varieties, such as Jack-in-the-Pulpit, showy ladyslipper and meadow lily. All of these need plenty of moisture, but will do well in fairly sunny places. In taking up the plants secure as much soil as possible with the roots. Wet them well and wrap in moss and then in newspaper for carrying. After they are in their new loca- tlon a light mulch of half-rotted leaves will help them get started. They will not thrive in soil containing any lime, and leaf mold from under evergreens, oaks or chestnut trees must be avoided. Bistory of Pour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. | STRYKER VARIATION—Striker. RACIAL ORIGIN—Danish. SOURCE—AnN occupation. A closer form to the original of this family name would be “Striger.” It is a family name formed under English influence from .a Danish source. Its meaning is not what you Elghl suppose, one who strikes or ts. The Danish word “strige” meant to roam, or to wander, or to travel, and 50 the “striker” was a_more or less adventuresome wanderer on the face of the globe. In a freer descriptive sense it came to mean a traveling workman. And this glves you a clearer un- derstanding of the way in which such a name spread into England and the United States. The east coast of Eng- land is in rather familiar intercourse with Denmark. It has always been so, off and on, down through the ages, since the Teutons of the Baltic shores, known as the Angles and the Saxons. first invaded England and firove back the original Britons into Wales, Corn- wall and certain other sections of the western part of that island. Both from the invasions of the Danes in centu- ries past, and from more recent com- munication with Denmark, the dia- lects of the northeastern coast of Eng- land have been subject more or less to Danish influence and contain many Danish_words. FOR SKINTORTURES Zemo, the Clean, Antiseptic Liquid, Just What You Need Don’'t worry about Eczema or other skin troubles. You can have a clear, healthy skin by using Zemo. Zemo generally removes Pimples, Blackheads, Blotches, Eczema and Ringworm and makes the skin clear and healthy. Zemo is a clean, pene- trating, antiseptic liquid, that does clous?” Imagination gets to work, and perhaps it lands one at the ca- terer's Inquiring the prices of their fancy ices. Then perhaps ingenuity sets to work. Think of the fun of having fancy ices for the same price as plain ones, and also the satisfaction of making them yourself. Today let us find out how to conjure up so delectable a dish as a mousse roll, which costs so much to buy and vet can be made at home without much extra effort or money. It is a veritable fairy ring, for one roll when cut across makes many servings and looks as artistic as a magic ring should. Until you know the secret it is more perplexing than a cross-word puzzle to know how to get the raspberry water ice, or pistachio ice cream, in a .eat circle around the raisin or chocate center. But there are ways of doing it which can be carried out at hnme. and with no more elaborate utensils than tin cans, such as coffee, crackers and baking powder frequently come in. There must be two sizes, so that when the smaller can is set inside the larger there will be a ring left of about three-fourths inch between them. One color of cream (or sherbet) is used as a ring and the center is filled with a contrasting mousse, or ice cream. Chocolate Mousse. First we will suppose that it is to be a chocolate mousse surrounded with water ice. The larger can is lined with the sherbet or water ice, already frozen. A layer of water ice is put around the edge and held there by means of the small can being placed inside. It may be necessary to put the cans with the water ice in salted ice to insure hardness before remov- ing the center can preparatory to fill- ing the area with chocolate.” If the inner can threatens to stick before be- ing removed it should be swabbed on the inside with a hot cloth just enough to loosen it and permit the can to be taken out. The water ice, now being solid and held in position around the edge of the larger can, the next proc- ess is to put in the chocolate, which can be pressed in easily. Care should be taken to keep the outer rim of wa- ter ice intact. It should not get mixed with the center filling. After the can mold is filled and tightly covered it should be packed in Ited ice until time to serve. Then remove the top, wrap & hot cloth about the can and let the mousse roll slip onto an ice cream platter. Cut into even slices that vary in.thickness according to the size of the mold. There should be sufficient for a good serving in each slice. The center will be encircled with the ring of contrfasting color. Various Rolls. Whatever kind of cream is used, the process is of course the same. It is interesting to consider some of the color effects and possible ways of serving. A very rich cream is one which has as a basis vanilla, but which is made heavy with fruits and nuts. The fruit is generally the can- died variety which should be cut into pieces, and mixed with raisins, the flavoring is compounded of vanilla and almond, of which only a very small proportion is the latter. This cream may be surrounded with any one of a number of flavors, but choc- olate is recommended, or some kind of water ice, such as raspberry or strawberry. French Mousse Rolls. A very attractive and practical way of serving mousse rolls combines the serving of them with the serving of the cake. The combination we call French mousse roll. To many house- wives, called upon to entertain on a larger scale than that to which they are accustomed, the matter of econ- omizing dishes is quite essential, not only because of the dishwashing, but also because the supply is not inex- haustible. Ice cream and cake may therefore be served as part of the same dish. The cake is cut the size of the mousse roll and the mousse roll placed on top of it. A sauce of fresh strawberries, chocolate whipped cream of any desired flavor, when poured over it, makes a dish fit for the gods—as -well as for guests of a graduation, wedding breakfast or any function at which ice cream is to be served. Only one dish to the person is required, and nothing is sacrificed that could add to the style of service. Indeed, it is among the most desirable methods of serving ice cream, and far removed from the commonplace. You will ngfshow and may be applied day or nig.'.

For he had seen the Princess Buddir al Baddoor, the daughter of the Sultan and the most beautiful princess in the whole world. ‘“Unless 1 can marry her I no longer wish to live,” he said. He begged and entreated his mother to go to the palace and ask the Sultan to give the princess to him. “I shall send him a gift of the fruit I have brought from the magic garden,” he said. For Aladdin had discovered that it was not fruit at all, but most won- derful and precious jewels that he had. Placing them on a dish he cov- ered them with a fine napkin and his mother set off for the palace. This is the gown the mother wore. Make it green with a gold band down the front and around the bottom. (Copyright, 1925.) Coffee Sponge.

He takes me to all sorts of places of amusement. He glves me pretty presents. He enjoys my society, but never once has he said a word of love to me, or asked me to marry him. “Life without this man is cinders, ashes and dust to me. I must have him. How.can I win his love? How can I make him ask me to be his wife' As to winning his love, I do not believe that any woman can stir a man’s lukewarm affection up into a burning, sizzling passion. If there is not something in her that rouses a thrill in his breast and makes him desire her for his own when he first knows her he is immune to palpitations, so far as she is concerned, to the end of the chapter, and he cheerfully acts as best man at her wedding instead of t:'uvlng the leading role. A woman has a far better chance of capturing the heart of a stranger than she has that of a man she has known a long time. To the stranger she has the elements of surprise, of mystery, the chance of being the inexpressible she of every man's seeking. But the old acquaintance is familiar with her whole bag of tricks. They have been tried out on him in vain. None of them awakened more than a mild interest in him, and for him_she has no conjure left, no wand of enchantment by which to lead him on. . e e UT of the congenlality of tastes, and long assoclation, and comradeship a very close and tender friendship may result, but this is no more love than skim milk is cream or home brew Is vintage champagne. It lacks the glory and the circling wings of romance, for the man's feeling for the woman is brotherly, not loverly, and no woman Is so ignorant as not to know the difference or 8o poor a creature as to be satisfled with the substitute. No woman can make the man who merely likes her fall ardently in love with her, but it does not follow that she cannot marry him. On the contrary, thousands of women turn the trick every day and inveigle unwilling bride- grooms to the altar who never had the slightest intention of approaching that fatal spot with their present companions. To his dying day, many a man never knows how it was that he happened to marry his Maria. He liked her, of course, and appreciated all of her many good qualities. They were corking good friends. She was always so interested in all he was trying to do and so sympathetic about it, but she wasn't the type of woman that fired his fancy; not in any way his ideal of the dream woman he wanted for a wife. Why, he never even thought of such a thing as falling in love with her! Still less, of marrying her! Yet he did it, and he puts in many a long hour puzzling over how it came about, without ever finding the answer to the conundrum. Mr. Bernard Shaw says that the woman always marries the man. Mr. Thackeray said long ago that any woman who didn’'t have an actual hump on her back could marry any man she chose. That's as may be. Actual experience shows that marrying a man who doesn’t want to be married takes quite a bit of doing, as the English say, and whether it can be accomplished or not depends upon whether the man is soft or hard boiled, and how wary and bridal-shy he is. < e e . "THERE are men who can be subtly and artfully led up to the proposing point and then pushed over the brink so adroitly that they never even suspect that they were propelied from behind by an. irresistible force, but always believe that they took the leap of their own accord. And there are other men who scent danger from afar, who neatly side- step every matrimonial trap set for their feet and who can neither be cajoled nor finessed into popping the question. Of course, the woman who is determined to have a man in spite of himself has to adapt her technique to the Individual man. Different individuals require different methods. There are men who can be hunted down and driven into the matrimonial fold through sheer exhaustion. But the most successful method is for the woman to let the man see how much she loves him, and to make him feel that he would break her heart if he leaves her. That hits a man in his most vulnerable spot, his vanity. Many a man who has tried to break away from a woman for whom he did not care, and who saw she was beginning to care too much for him, has stayed to marry her because she wept at losing him and he could not bear to deprive her of such a good thing. Also, to know that a woman loves him calls out a man's chivalry, and many a man has married a woman he did not love and did got want for a wife because he lacked the courage to tear away the clinging hands that hung on to him with a death grip. Oh, yes, a woman can very often marry a man who does not really want to marry her, but she cannot change liking into love. But why does she want to do it? What happiness can she promise herself in such a marriage? DOROTHY DIX.

DON'T YOU SEE THOSE LITTLE SCAMPS RIGHT HERE?” in, Jumper the Hare, through the Green Forest until he was beginning to get a little tired. Then quite sud- denly they came upon Mrs. Jumper, and close to her, nibbling at this and that tender young plant, were four little Jumpers. “Cousin Peter came over to the Green Forest to tell me that he has six of the most beautiful babfes that ever lived, born over in the dear Old Briar Patch two days ago. As they are the same age as our bables, I thought he would like to see ours. What _do you think of them, Cousin Peter?” said Jumper. Peter stared all around him. He was looking for an answer. ‘“Where are they?” he asked after a bit. “Where are they?" echoed Jumper. “Where are your eyes? Don't you see those little scamps right here?” “Yes, I see those,” replied Peter. “But where are the babies, the little teeny, weeny, new-born babies?" “Well, we haven't had any since day before yesterday,” replied Mrs. Jumper. “There they are, hopping about as good, healthy babies should be doing. Don’t you think Jumper and I have a fine-looking family?” Peter stared very hard at Mrs. Jumper. Then he stared very hard at the four lively little Jumpers. “But my bables are helpless,” he cried. ‘My babies haven't opened their eyes vet. My bables haven't any fur “Fancy!"” exclaimed Mrs. Jumper. “Fancy a baby without a fur coat. 1 can't imagine such a thing. What homely little tikes they must be if they have no fur coats.” “No such thing,” replied Peter. “They are the most beautiful babies | in all the Great World. Mrs. Peter says so. Weren't your babies born without fur coats?” “ BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “I should say not,” replied Mrs Jumper. “They were just as you see them now. Goodness, 1 wouldn't know what to do with babies as help- less as all that. Do you mean to say, Peter Rabbit, that your babies can't help themselves at all?” Peter was obliged to confess that this was the case. All the time he kept his eyes on those four little Hares. He just couldn’t believe that they were only two days old, the very same age as his own bables He couldn’t believe it and he didn’t want to belleve it, because he real- ized now how foolish his boasting of his handsome babies must have seemed to Jumper. Of course there was no comparison between these little squirming, helpless baby Rab- bits and these pretty, lively baby Hares, although they were the same age. Peter just couldn't keep his eves off those voungsters. Mrs. Jumper noticed this. “Well,” said she, “how do these bables compare with yours?”’ “Now, my dear, you shouldn’t ask Peter such a question as that,” in- terrupted Jumper. “It's all right,” sald Peter. “It's perfectly all right, Mrs. Jumper. If my bables ever get to be as pretty and as cunning as these babies of I shall be perfes satisfied. My goodness, I hope they'll hurry up and get some fur coat.
