melon.
Who does not bail with delight
the watermelon season? So many
dainty ways them are in which the
fruit may be served, that perhaps a
few well chosen recipes would not
be amiss, says the New Idea Wo-
man’s Magazine for August.
Watermelons should lie on the ice

are eaten. Wipe the melon clean
when removed from the ice, cut oil
a slice at each end of the water-

stand on end on platter, and slice
down, allowing each slice a part of
the center of the heart.
For frozen watermelon, take two
quarts of rich cream and two tea-

of broken - down republicans.
While I am a partisan, and read-

cratic party, and I will offer my
