June of the East.

-. ■ { lam tired of , you and yo ; ur burnitog deep' eyes, With jurie-of-the-East, Q too beautiful Ju.nu! I am sick 111110 death of your smother* in# kikses, Child, of the changeless morisoon.

lam fired you and tlie miusjc you. make, Slow-sweeping the strings' of your tropical seas; It is melody too full of languor and. sweetness, Too full of dreaming and ease.

I am tired °f you arid your, cloying embrace. The scarlet sweet curve; of yqur passionate lips.'; And. I swoqn with the ’scent of the blossoming I'Otas , Cruslied on your hot finger-tips.

I am thinking of June that I loved in the North, Who dreams by the lake, on ‘ the, shadowy sands; Her- voice is the wind/hu the pines and the fir fronds Twine in her slender,, fc'ool hands.

She is deer-eyed, and virginal, to her my heart Turns always, for a fiivay/s I love her the best; 0 ! take your stror jg l speTjl from me Asian enchar (tress, Loose mq and le me have rest!

AUTjUMN IDEAS. With February at hand one begfx lS to think of / mtunui gowns, ensembles, and suits. * Hi sj * Wool georgette, wool, or s;ilk and wool marocaisie make charming frocks for, anyr 'occasion. For the street a fl aired j skirt with slightly

unevejp. hem is always atrac,tive. For the house afternoon frccks of ring velvet, panne velvet, or embossed georgette with points or flared tiers from shoulders to ankle are graceful and! becoming to the slim figure. The,sc gowns have square or rounded necks, with a low V,at the back. Flat silken flowers are being worn at. the back, arranged at angles ta give diagonal lines' on the; fairly tight bodice.

Fine worsted tweed tailored* coats lined and trimmed with- a heavy silken material—either plain or floral—arg still in vogue, only they are slightly lopger this season,. Fine Kasha cloth in fciege tonings atep makes very effective ensembles.

Tailored tweed skirts with jumpers of angora woollen fabric make smart walking or sports suits. Angora material has only recently been made; in attractive shades, but France is now producing it in a number of really exclusive new tqningp.

The jumper appliqued with fine leather in pastel shades to tone gives a distinctive air to the wearer. A short leather or suede jacket to wear with this, suit would be both serviceable and smart.

Paris papers tell us that the ( smartest women are no,w choosing British terriers in preference to the poms, and pekinese of yesterday. Th-q carrying of dolls was only a phase yvhicli lasted but a few weeks. The papers do not state whether gowns are chosen to match the terrier or, the dog to match the gown, but it has been noticed that they invariably do.

SUMMER DISHESi.

APRICOT cereal chops.

Make a stiff from 1% cups of boiling salted water and % cup of oatmeal. Pour into a wet pan and cool. Cut intel thick slices and shape to resemble chops, roll in crumbs and bnqwn in a frying pan. A small piece of unc.ooked macaroni, may be inserted at one end to represent bone. Heat a small tin of preserved apricots. Arrange chops and fruit on a hot serving dish and! serve with the; hot syrup from the FRUIT CHARLOTTE RUSSE. Cut a spepge cake into squares and split each square. On each layer place slices of preserved fruit. Dot the fruit with whipped, c.rqam and serve very cold. A pleasing colour effect is obtained by using pale pink sponge cake and golden peaches or apricots. t» * » * Few people realise what a delicious entreq or vegetable the despised maize makes. All that is, necessary is to boil the cobs from I's to 20 minutes, smear with butter, season with pepper and salt, and serve ve?r hbt. Like asparagus, it eaten with one’s, fingers. A QUICK MAYONNAISE. One eggi % teaspopin salt, % teaspoon dry mustard, 1 tablespogn lepton juice o : r vinegar, 2 tea cups olive oil.
