' How to Preserve a Husband . I Be careful in your selection. Do not choose too young. When once _ selected give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use. , Some insist upon keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly getting them in hot water. This may make them mouldy, hard and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweetend with love and kisses. Wrap them in a mantle of charity. Keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with strawberries and cream. Thus pre- pared they will keep for years. . * * This book is dedicated to the modern home. In our home today, as always, life is centered around our kitchens.
