The appearance and preparation oi sauces are of the highest importance. Brown sauces should not be as thick as white and should possess a decided character. so that whether sweet rr sharp. plain or savory, they should beur out their names. Care is also to he taken that they blend and harmonize with the various dishes they are to no- company.

When your nerves are out of order your whole health is on the verge of a breakâ€"down. .Sudden sounds startle you; your muscles twitch and your hands tremble; your self-control is shattered; your will-power gone. Your head aches; your feet are often cold and your face flushed. Your heart jumps and thumps at the least excitement; you are restless at night and tired when you wake. Your temper is irritable and you feel utterly down-hearted. And the whole trouble is because your blood is too thin and watery to keep the nerves/strong. There is only one way to have strong, healthy nerves -â€" feed them with the rich, red blood that only Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills can make â€"-â€" and do make. Mr. Fred Forth, 17 Sul< livan street, Toronto, sayszâ€"“I was a complete wreck with nervous prostra- tion, but Dr. V'tilliams' Pink Pills have made a new man of me. I had been nervous for years; the least noise would startle me, and the least exertion would leave me utterly prostrated. I lost in weight, and physically I was almost a. wreck. I had not taken the pills long when I found they were helping me; my appetite improved, my nerves began tc grow steady, and day by day I gain- ed until I was again a well man. My weight increased twenty-five pounds while I was using the pills. To any who suffer as I did, I can say that it Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills are given a fair trial, a cure will be sure to follow." Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills restored Mr. I’orth, simply because they made the rich, pure blood which properly nourish- es the nerves and keeps them strong.

Usually the time oc- cupied by his journey was given over to his invention. but toâ€"night a new thought chased the other away. “Break- ing a woman's heart!” What absurd nonsense! Why, Maggie was just as eager as himself. There would be no need to stint the housekeeping when his idea was taken up and every ship in Liverpool carried Leslie’s steering gear.

They had loved each other dvarly, but something had come between them. It was the thing that. occupied the table in the front parlor. and at which Ronald worked in all his'leisure. Ronald was going away for the “feel:- end to see some shipowner in Glasgow about his gear.

Margaret was a good w0~ manâ€"rebellion did not come easily to her; a prayer broke from her now. “Help me not to hate him," she mur- mured; “help me not to blame him for this!" Ronald’s visit to Glasgow had been, as usual, a futile effort. The shipown- er had accorded him a five minutes’ in- terview, and had told him that his idea. was no good. He had come home raging against the stupidity of men and money. The grumble was an old one. For oncu Margaret had met it with indifference, almost with disdain. This idea of his that he was a‘ genius with an invention that would revolutionize the world of ships driven by steam was the curse of their lives. Ronald Leslie was no geni- us, merely a level-headed, plodding man who despised the only ladder that would enable him to rise in the worldâ€" the monotonous daily grind. 3i He came in from his work now and slood at'the door of the room, still in his brow overalls, {vearlng his fitters cap on his head. “Better?” he asked.
