Something important you should know about your husband You know him better than anyone else in the world. You know his bad points as well as his good ones. But one of his best points may have escaped your notice. You know that he doesn’t do many of- the things he’d like to do with his money — because the family income will only go so far. And you know that he might reasonably spend money freely now — without a thought for your future. But he doesn’t. Regularly, he puts aside money to give you the protection of life insurance. True, he may gain benefit from that insurance during his own life, but that isn’t why he owns it. The real reason can be found in his concern for your welfare. x Right now, it’s more important than ever to save money.

Indeed, her part in the train ing of our new queen was by no means insignificant. Hex' life, spotted with grief, has been a full one and it would seem to give her a moment’s recognition for her great service. As soon as a new monarch comes into power, the old con sort seems forgotten immediate ly. It might also be fitting to think of Elizabeth, the new mo ther queen, who accomplished a most amazing thing in making the royal family a unit and bond ing it with gentle love and un derstanding.* i« « « Just think of the changes that must be made now that we have a queen.

We are reminded toa-that the Lad ies’ League is just four weeks away from the play-offs.* * * * And The Pantry Here are a few odd bits about homemade soup. 1. A little fresh beef, fowl or beef bones simmered fqy their stock gives excellent flavour to soups. 2, If you add any liquid to soup, make sure it is hot; cold li quid added will destroy some of the flavour. 3. Add salt when the meat is cooked, not before. It helps to bring scum to the top for easier removal. 4. Grated carrots give added fla vour and improve the color of soup. All this is for a clear soup and here’s an old recipe for onion and potato soup. Onion and Potato Creamed Soup 1 cup onions chopped coarsley 1 cup potatoes in thin slices 1 tbsp, butter 1% tbsp, flour % cup water % cup milk Simmer potatoes and onions in water slowly until cooked.
