"You must know what it is to be tired," she said, before he had framed the condolence he was meditating. "You look as if you did. Ali, there is our car! We must not miss it this time!" That "our" and the "we'' came ae naturally as though the acquaintance weremonths old, instead of only days. It was equally natural that they should take place side by side upon the nar- row seat, where the sante business- men of the morning (or their twin- brothers) sat reading the evening paper in place of the early edition and the same shop -girls sat by the half- dozen, only with hair a good deal out of curl, and figures relaxed by the lasa situde of the day. Even the usual woman with the basket was there— only that this time the latter was em- pty. "Where do you get down?" inquir- ed John's companion, in a half -whisp- er. "At the corner of Trongate." "How strange! Just where I have to leave the car." "Do you live in the Trongate?" in- quired John, with a mingling of alarm and pleasure at the thought of a pos- sible proximity. "No—in Grant Street. But I have a—a visit to pay in that quarter—a dressage to take for my aunt. I live with my aunt," she added, a trifle more confidentially. "She has her own house." If the communication of this fact had been intended to impress, the speaker must have felt discouraged. John's face made it doubtful whether he had even heard. The ear.was evidently not the place for conversation. Relinquishing the attempt, she leant back wearily, yet, despite her half-closedeyes, it was she who first spotted their place of des- cent: •'Somewhat to his astonishment, John found himself assisting his new acquaintance to alight. The small, shabbily gloved hand stretched so con- fidingiy towards tum could not have been disregarded by anything but a brute. When they stood upon the pavement among the jostle of passers-by, she pressed, perhaps unconsciously, a lit- tle nearer to "Which is your way?" she asked, in an access of timidity, Which was quite real of its kind. "My street turns off Bolton Street." "Ah. then perhaps you -will not mind letting me stay beside you a bit longer. I have to—that is to say, I can • :quite well pass through Bolton Street on the .way to ray visit; and this part of the town is rather strange to me, and there are so many rough people about." "Certainly you can walk with me," said John bluntly. It did not occur to him'to wonder at her confidence in a stranger. To him- self it seemed that his own harmless- ness must be written broad upon his face. They started off to ether g along the crowded pavement, having to keep close in order to avoid being separ- ated. Yet the stranger's tongue,hav- ing rested in the car, was eqal to { id them the hubbub around i . "Isn't the noise just awful? she asked, with a shrillness necessitated nor protector.

Glitsgow man." "No; I am not. But how do you know?" "Ah, one feels that sort of thing, es- pecially when one is a stranger one- self." "Ah, then you do not belong to this city?" "Qh, dear, no! I only came froth Peebles in autumn. My father was a teacher there. After he died my aunt took me in." "Then you are not quite lonely ?" John said it with a queer little twinge of disappointment whose origin was far too obscure to pursue. • "Oh, yes; 1 am very lonely indeed. My aunt is an invalid and her daugh- ter, my cousin, has no time for any- thing but to look after her. Besides, I am afraid we have not many tastes in common. They are such complete townpeople, you see:'.' "But perhaps youl have friends?" She shook her head. "I don't make friends easily; and among my colleagues at the office I haven't found any congenial spirit, None of them seem to hareany feel- ing for the beauties of Nature, for in. stance." There was a break here, ..caused ' partly by a noisy group on the pave- ment, partly by John's astonishment at the remark. His own love of Na- ture was almost a passion—though he had become aware of it only since hi : exile—but it is probable that he would !rather have died in tortures than put l i lit into word I It was she who picked up the thread ! of tails. "It's bad having no friends—for the Sundays especially. Positively sometimes don'teknow how to spend my Sunday afternoons. My oousi has not time to go out with me --poor thing, and it's rather dull work walk Spring Cleaning. Housecleaning time looms up again and the housewife has visions of change and improvement in the home.' Before the cleaning campaign; be- gins it is well to take stook and see just what are the resources and the poseibilitios' of the home and its furnishings; and right here we would advise the housewife to begin at the front door or, better still, the front gate, and look her home over as if it belonged to another family. We grow so 'acciestomed to our OWTI things that We often fail to see their defects; but not so with the belongings of our neighbor-d'ear me, no! We enter the other person's home with a critical eye and are ready to condemn or approve, benefit or become envious, according to our disposition and the circum- stances. A tour of inspection under- taken in an entirely impersonal mood is sure to bring out some items of in- terest, and the progressive housewife will take note of these, talk them over with her family and make the changes. Sometimes a room is improved by a rearrangement of the furniture. Some- times there is much to be gained by changing the purpose of the robin. Changes which make for conveni- ence and comfort or show improve- ment in taste, are desirable and need not be expensive. Much of the brie - a -brat would be better placed in the attic where it would not need frequent dusting. Many a good frame holds a meaningless picture. It is so easy to get reproductions of the best in art,; that there is little excuse for poor pictures nowadays. If -the iarames are shabby, a little paint will do won- ders. Eliminate the cushion covers which are too good to be used, and re- place them with covers which can be used, and,. washed when necessary. Much time is spent in the kitchen; it should therefore be convenient and sanitary in its arrangement. The stores where housekeeping goods are sold should be visited at frequent in- tervals. There is always something of interest to see. Many, of the de- s vices are really labor-saving, some are not; but the progressive woman will select -those best suited to her regiuire- .nients. Above all, let us see that the boys, rooms are not made a dumping ground 1 for misfits: It is a grave' mistake to imagine that the boy does not care what sort of room he has. No mem- ber of the family will appreciate more highly a pleasant room with suitable I' n ing in the parks by oneself. Beside 'it's sometimes unpleasant," she added casting down her large, white lidde eyes. "People can be ;so.rude. . It' true that I have had escorts offerer me; but I'in afraid I'm rattler well choice about my acquaintances." After another pause, during which she had apparently been waiting for something, and.with a very fair as- sumption of starting a new subject: ..,"How do you spend your Sunday afternoons, Mr.—Mr.—?" "iVly name is M'Donnell. I go to church." "Oh, yes; of course—so do I. Again a tiny pause. And then: "Which church do you go to?" "'To St,. Mary's the Episcopal." "Ah—how nice! That's where I go too. I'm glad you're. not: a Presby- terian. It's. such a—commonreligion, I think. Our church is really quite pretty. But; after the service, when one sees people meeting at the door and setting out for their. Sunday walk, it's a bit sad to have to go off alone. I' have wandered about on the Neci•ci- olis until I know all the monuments Near: - pais ' it r but I've resolved never yheat, yr to go there again, or at least not alone. It only makes one quite melancholy. Oh, is this your way?" as John halted at the entrance of a narrow and badly - lighted side -street, down which she sent a keenly exploring glance. "I am afraid you can't have very good air here; perhaps that is why you have got so thin. I'm sure your landlady doesn't look after you properly. Thank you so much for your protection. It isn't very fax to go now. I hope I shall manage all right." Anyone less socially blunder -head- ed than John would have understood what was expected of him, but the case was altogether too unprecedented in his experience, The rather plain- tive ,"good -night" was therefore an sleeked civilly, but decisively, and the hand stretched timidly towards him just touched by his inexperienced fin- ' furnishings. l The Constituents of Fond. , : The gave principal elements of food necessary -to Maintain health are Pro- teins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Minerals salts, and Water; The source of proteins are meat, milk, cheese, butter, eggs, fish,, grains and legumes. Their chief use is tis- sue building, repairing waste, and making muscle, They also supply the same amount of heat , as starches.. The source of carbohydrates 1s in starches and sugars, and they are. found chiefly in greenvegetables, grains and fruits. They are used to supply energy or power to do work. To a small extent they build tissue. They also furnish heat. The source of fats is in beef, lard chicken, and in olives, corn, peanut and cotton seed oil. Pats in the body furnish a greater amount of heat than starches. They are also used . for building tissue. The source of mineral salts is.. prin- cipally in green vegetables, grains, milk, meats, eggs and fish. Salts are used to regulate the body; they are also needed for the formation of bone and teeth structure and in tissue building. Water is the most necessary of all foods; it forms a part of all tissues and is the important tactor in the blood stream. It is present in. large amount in all body fluids, It 'car;- ries ,nourishment to the blood and re- gulates the bodily process of elimina- tion. gers. It was only in the privacy of his roam that remorse for what struck him suddenly as a grievous want of charity seized upon him. If any -one look in want of protection, less able to cope with the accidents of a crowd, lywas this frail, fair-haired girl. And it was a pleasing discovery, too, to Find that she 'hated the town as much as he did himself. And meanwhile the fair-haired one, looking more tiredthan ever, as well as slightly disappointed, trudged fur- ther on her way, The visit to pay was no more: than a message to it cheap dressznaket patronised by her aunt, and might conveniently have waited till another day. It is safe to ;Assert: that if John TVI Donnell had hap- pened to board another car than just the one he did board, the errand would heves° waited. ('11'i"i' Ii TSI. Next Sunday at 2 p.ln, punctually, John 'W.Iionnell, dressed in a suit which "more nearly approached to gonalne black than the one sported on week—days, and1 with a tall hat two sizes too large 'for his head, stood at S. Mary's door, During the two part days the feeling- bf' remeree had augmeeted rather then diminished, so much so that the idea of an apology Value of Fish as Food. For working people of all classes— these who work with their heads" as well as those who work with their hands--itsh is an economical source"of energy to enable then to carry on their work, and for children and young persons it furnishes the very mater- ials that are needed to enable them to grow healthy and strong. Another very important reason why fish should be generally used is its easy digestibility. In this connec- tion, however, it is important to note that, as in other foods, the digestibil- ity and nutritive value of fish largely depends on the cooking. In buying fresh fish, see that the for his remissness had actually dawn- ed upon his mind, A meeting hi. the tram -car would be the most convenient opportunity. Perhaps it was because no such meeting had taken place in•the interval that he so distinctly remem- bered the stranger having mentioned St. Mary's as her favorite place of worship. As to what might possibly happen after the service he did not al- low himself to think, though uhncleni- ably he had been haunted by the vision of a ;forlorn and fair-haired damsel wandering about alone in the Sunday streets. (To be continued). eyes are bright and prominent, and the flesh firm, not flabby. Fish may be divided into two classes, oily and non -oily. Of the two, oily fish are the most nutritious; they comprise such kinds as salmon, trout, mackerel, herring and eels, and have the oil mingled through the flesh. Haddock, bake, pollock, - and halibut, etc. are non -oily fish; that is, the oil is contained in the liver and is removed when the fish is dressed for cooking. They are thus more suit- able .for invalids, and people of weak digestion, than the oily kinds. • In preparing fish for cooking it should not be allowed to stand in wa- ter for a long time. It spoils the flavor, and the food substances are likely to be dissolved. Hints on Frying Fish:—There are three ways of preparing fish for fry- ing, 1st, dipping it in milk and flout; 2nd, coating it with prepared batter; 3rd, egging and crumt.:ng, Dripping, lard, or Gil can be used and should be smoking hot before the fish is put in, so as to harden'the out side, thus preventing the fat from.' en- tering into the fish, which would spoil the flavor and make it indigestible. Only a small quantity should be fried at a time. As soon as it; is brown onboth sides, drain on paper and place on a hot dish. Allow the fat to cool a little, strain, and put it away for future use. Hints on Boiling Fish:—Clean and wash in plenty of cold water. Add a little salt to the water; this will help' to clean it, and keep the fish firm. Cod, haddock, mackerel, whitefish, salmon, etc., are best suited for boil- ing: Put the fish into warm water with a little salt and vinegar. Al- low ten minutes for each pound of fish, and fifteen minutes over, if large. Boil slowly. When cooked it should have a creamy appearance, and come easily from the bones. Lift out care- fully, let drain; and place on a hot dish. Serve with melted butter, parsley, caper or anchovy sauce. The water in which fish is boiled should not be thrown away, for it can be used for soup stock and fi.;h sauces and stews. . Melted Butter Sauce:—One .and a half ounces of butter melted in a saucepan, stir in one ounce of flour, add gradually 1 pint fish stock, stir and bring gently to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and grated nutmeg. "Don't rip to the bottom." That is what a dear old lady on the next farm to ours said to one of the boys when she served minute pudding with cream and ` maple -sugar sauce. That boy had found out somehow that the biggest grains of sugar lay at the bottom, and he knew- how to get them. But mother knew, too, and she was thinking about the other boys and girls. Sometimes it seems as though' most of us need that same caution. ,,Vire are so apt to -dip. to the bottom to work for -the' very best of every. thing, forgetting that such'a 'cour'se means that others must go without. That dear' old mother wanted her boy to stir the sugar up till all the little folks could have a fair share. She. was right, too. Let's not dip to the bottom! Let's give every man his fair share of the sugar and the cream. • Don't put off saving your money until you are middle-aged.
