the object of appreciation.

Notes from
A. Woman’s Workshop
BABY-TALK
The other day, Ella came in to report on her annual visit to a mutual
friend. She confessed to being a little disappointed, explaining that the
usually free-and-easy household, had been re-vamped tp meet the rigid
schedule pf the visiting baby-grandson’s day, and that someway she felt
she did not fit in.
Afterwards I was thinking back to the days when babies were not
such a novelty. Every home had one somewhere in the offing. In fact,
no self-respecting family would dream of allowing itself to run out of
such a precious commodity. I do not remember that Baby’s arrival was
looked upon as an economic disaster. He was presented tov the family
as an accomplished fact, Mother made no application for the D.S.O. nor
did Dad sit down to budget for his education. Sufficient unto the day
was the evil thereof. Everybody took a hand in his up-bringing. At
a very tender age he learned that he was the boss and proceeded to
demonstrate his authority On all occasions. He issued his commands in
no uncertain voice, expected “service with a smile” and got it, too, from
whoever happened to be nearest at the moment. Kissed, cuddled, rocked
and rumpled, he survived the transgression; of every known law in the
matter of baby care and in time grew up to be that not-so-bad young
fellow who married you.I do not say that to-day’s “better babies” have not a surer chance
Pf health, but I do think they must miss a good deal of fun.

Fats
A surprisingly large number of
Canadian women have come to use
the much-advertised vegetable
shortenings. As a result, our own
lard has dropped in price. Almost
all vegetable oils have to be im
ported. Peanut, soy bean, maize,
cotton-seed and cocoa butter are
all used and you will see that none
of them are native products. Re
member that every dollar spent
abroad adversely affects our na
tional credit. There is another
side to the question. This year Can
