A SUMMER WRINKLE.

•'"How I love summer," cooed the Romantic One, as she lounged idly in her rattan chair on the creeper-covered porch; "such bright, glad warm, welcome days and calm, balmy nights, such fruits and. flowers, such straw•berries and—

• ''Sour milk," growled the Prosaic Housekeeper, as he knitted busily, her temper somewhat upset by the fact that she had just discovered all her supply was "turned," and there could be no coifee for- supper.

.' ..'"Of course that's a disadvantage," f=aid the Romantic One, brought suddenly to earth. ,Tt is awfully annoying after you've been careful all day to find all -the milk sour by evening, but Aunt Nellie has a good plan for getting over that troubde."

"What is -that ?" said the housekeeper with some awakening interest for Aunt Nellie's housekeeping wrinkles were always worth knowing. The Roman tc One grew' important. "You have heard o<f the Taieri Plain?" she said. It produces the richest milk in New Zealand, arid there, on the banks of the Silvefstfeaim this Taieri' -milk, is condensed by. a new and improved process.; All summer Aunt Nellie keeps her pamtry furnished with this "Sitverstreain Milk" and uses it for cooking purposes! custards, puddings, etc?

"I never thought of Condensed Milk," said the housekeeper. "Perhaps it would be worth while keeping some on hand for emergencies, but I suppose— " (the day's misfortunes were still fresh in her mind)— "it would be too sweet for coffee,"

"Perhaps so," said the Romantic One, "if you don't like it sweet, but Aunt Nellie told- me ofv another kind made by the same Company called 'Lily Evaporated Cream," which contains no sugar, and makes splendid coffee. Even if your grocer doesn't keep it, he. could easily get it for you. n ". The. Housekeeper looked at her guest with dawning respect in her eyes: "Bob is not taking such a risk as 1 thought," she said to herself, "appearances are deceptive." Aloud she only. said "One is always learning and I shall certainly get the grocer to /send up some tins of "Silverstream" to-morrow." . ._
