TORONTO "AN APPLE A DAY—" Apples are a food necessity—not a luxury, and if we consume even more than the proverbial one each day to keep the doctor away, we are only eating for better health.

Here are some which perhaps may be new to you: Delicious Apple Filling for Cake. — 2 medium apples, 1 lemon, 2-3 cup sugar, 1 egg. Pare and core apples, and grate.

Not long ago—before I realized I was using my legs instead of my head while I worked—when I tidied and cleaned each room I made a separate trip to the hall with a boy's cap left on the couch, to the bathroom with a bottle of salve found on the mantel, to the basement with the old newspapers, -and to the seine rooms again and again with other articles out of their places. Now I carry a large basket when I go to the first room to be straightened or cleaned. Into it go the small things belonging elsewhere, and when the room is in order I carry the basket to the next room, leaving anything be- longing there and placing it in the articles to be taken elsewhere. By the time I have returned to the first room after making the one round of all the rooms, the basket is empty and I have been spared the twenty or thirty go- ings and comings that the task would otherwise have required.—Mrs. F.

When Jeff Riddle was twenty-one and went off a distance of three coun- ties from the old home to hire out, he was not)a bit handsomer than he was when he come back two years rater and bought forty acres near his pap's place and started in farmin' for him- self and keepin' bach; and Mary Mac - Morrow was not a bit purtier than she was when he went 'away, though she had grown a little taller and had filled out considerably. But somehow the two years made all the difference in the world to them. When Jeff went away, Mary Mac - Morrow was just. out of shoe -top dresses, and was so shy and bashful that she would blush clean down into the neck of her dress if a feller spoke to her. But that was back in niy own sparkin' days, when a gal's face and the neck of her dress was not so far apart as they are now. Think of a gal these days blushin' from her face to her nearest clothes! The ;blush would have to get its second wind to go that distance, As Jeff had last seen Mary, befo leavin', she was just an ordinary chunk of a gal with brown hair and big brown eyes, and a few freckles sprinkled about over her face, and she' was not purty and she was not ugly; but the first time he saw her after he was back he had a feelin' that give him a start, like somebody had called him sharp and quick when he was not expectin' it. He met Mary in the road a little way from her home.. It was early in June. She was welkin' and he was welkin'. He just stopped square in his tracks right in front of her. "Good mornin', Jeff," Mary said. "1 ain't seen you for a long time." She held out her hand to shake. Her fingers were slim and white, and she had on black half -handers, which made her fingers look all the slimmer and whiter. Her hand squeezed 'up soft and warm in his, and it come to him like a flash that he was gazin' on the purtiest thing, to him, in all creatien. Jeff was mystified at the way she had changed. He saw that she had not only got taller, but she was trim and round, and her lips were red, and her eyebrows was .high and bowed, and her ears was small, and her neck was full and round and white as milk, aed her voice was as sweet as the songs of a whole flock of medder larks in spring. Jeff told me all this, more than once; I'm tryin' to tell it just as I heard it from him. "Where are you goin', Mary " Jeff asked her, and something must have happened to his voice all of a sudden, too, for she .looked at him quick, and then looked down WHAT CLN I DO? I believe we should all study our children, watch closely and observe the things they are particularly inter- ested in or show a special talent for, then amuse them along this line. F.ir instance, if a boy likes to play with tools let him have them and show him how to use them. How much more enjoyment my boy obtained from a' couple of pounds of shingle nails than he would from the same amount of money expended in candy. A block rf wood or board would fairly bristle with ]tacit in a very short time. Teach him to leave the head out a little' ways so he can pull them out and use them over again. Another child I know of would spend a whole half day hunting for bugs of different kinds to show mam- ma. Let him make a collection of them and show,him their pictures in the dictionary or a nature book if possible. Find out what they live upon and he will be very interested, and incidentally learn a whole lot about insects, good and bad. The same idea may be carried out with plants if they are interested in them, also stones. The old saying •that, "First impres- 1 sions last the longest," will be proven when you sce how much of this he will remember when. he grows. up, and the little time spent by us is • well worth the while. Of course, a child should never be driven to do more of this "play" than he wishes, as then it becomes work and the interest in it soon departs.—Mrs. L. M. D. WAYS TO USE CABBAGE. • • Red cabbage is very adaptable to salad. To one small head, use one onion, two small carrots, one green pepper. Put the onion and carrots through a food chopper together with the green pepper. Shred the cabbage and mix all with a salad dressing made of half cup of cream, half cup of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of mus- tard, two tablespoonfuls of hot water, one teaspoonful of salt. Stuffed Cabbage.—Select a medium- sized head of cabbage and wash 'thor- oughly. - Separate the leaves and re- move the centre. Fasten into shape or tie in a piece of cheesecloth and steam or simmer until tender. Fill the centre with cooked hamburg balls and sur- round with tomato sauce. "I'm going to pick dewberries," she answered him. "I want to go with you, Mary," Jeff said. "Come on," Mary said, "but Pll make you do all the pickin'. " TI -IE CENTRE OF 'INTEREST A Little Lesson In Living I enjoyed a great privilege this Summer. I was allowed to sojourn for, a part of my vacation with the artists' colony which every sumnner gathers on the Ox Bow of the Kalama- zoo, river, ner Saugatuck, Michigan.-" I want to pass on to you a tittle les- son in living which I learned- while idling among the busily' happy wor- shippers of beauty who spend their holiday working with brush and pa- lette, amid the endlessly varying From that mornin' dewberries was oharms of light and shadow on the oak Jeff's favorite fruit.

One spring there was a flood that washed away all the fences' on a low part of his farm, and Doc said he would get even with the Lord for doin' him thataway, so he built all the fences back on Sunday. Another time there was a heavy hail in July, and when Doc saw it was beatin' his corn' P Y ed as he spread his oily pigment, tering his canvas as I might butter toast, and evolving from this seeming- ly primitive process a wonder of har- mony in line and color suer. as no mere toast butterer ever dreamed of achieving. Between him and his subject stood another artist at another easel, and my friend had put him in his picture, at the edge of his canvas, looking out toward the edge and away from the group of studio buildings. Presently came by a third member of the colony—one whose ability and attainment had given him the right to comment upon the work of others, and whose criticism was valued as that of the seeing eye and the understanding heart. He stood for a moment watching the palette knife as it spread the color, strengthening a high light, deepening or subduing a shadow; and then he spoke: "So you are trying to do what can't be done!" he said. It was said halt - humorously, but with a kindly posi- tiveness. "But I think it can!" answered my friend. "Yes," continued the critic. "We had a student at the Art Institute last year who thought it could. He took three months to learn ho. was mis- taken." My uninitiated mind became curious to know what was the impossible which my friend had undertaken to prove possible. I wafted eagerly for the argument to disclose the cause of the controversy, unnamed as yet, but evidently understood by both. "You cannot put a figure in your pic- ture, on the edge of your canvas and looking out of it, and preserve its centre of interest. You are dissipating interest," said the critic. "But this and this and this," replied my friend, indicating with his thumb the sweep of line, the massing of light and shadow in the composition of the picture, "all contribute to the interest centre, and I will tone down the figure a bit." • His defense .was in reality an admis- sion, and being 'a very wise man the critic knew it, so he spent no words in further argument. "Very well," he concluded, "go on with your experiment; but it can't be done," and wandered off to speak words of wisdom to some other adven- turer in the enchanted realm of Art. Now being no artist myself, all of this might have meant little or nothing to me were it not for my habit of look- ing for the Iife lesson in such things. But the making of a life is in many ways like the making of a picture; and in this way as much as in any other— if life is to be effective it must have a centre of interest, ,and everything must contribute to it. No life oa.n be really beautiful without such a centre, and its beauty can never appeal and satisfy`:as it should if there he in it rivalling elements which divert and distraot—figures looking out of the canvas as if there lay elsewhere an equally .or more important interest. Many lives are marred in both Jeff said he almost got mad at that, beauty and usefulness by failure to ob. But he loved Mary too much h to get serve this fundamental principle. 'It mad at anybody, especially her pap, is not that there may be only ,one so he told Doe he was not aimin' to do beautiful thing, oneworth while thing any wrong, but he did not feel any in` life, but that there must he one and wheat all to pieces he was so mad that he went out into the yard and stood there bareheaded, defyin' the Almighty, and hollerin' up at the sky: "Peck away, now; just peck away! I ain't afraid of you!" while the big hail stones spatted hint in the face and bounced off of his forehead. Of course, Doc was a mighty misery to Mary and her mother; and on ac- count of his doin's'they t.et'er went to meetin' and did not belong to any church, But Jeff soon found out that Mary stuck up for her pap. "He's good to me and Ma, anyhow," she broke out to him one day, when she was worked up about something some girl had told her when she had been to town to get the newspaper and the letters. "You never aee us workin' round the place, feedin'the stock and choppin' wood and brealcin' our backs hoein', like some wimmen I could men- tion who have mighty pious hus- bands." But Doc's reputation was not troublin' Jeff. Anybody any kin to Mary was plenty good enough for him. And then right in the midst of his good luck, just when him and Mary was thinkin' of breakin' the news to her folks, what do you reckon hap- pened? Doc jined the church! That ought not have caused Jeff any trouble, but it did. A preacher named Maltby, from Baltimore, I think he was, come to preach a week at the'association camp meetin' as they called it, and in a few days everybody was talkin' so about what a great and powerful exhorter he was that Doc -sneaked off one night without sayin' anything to anybody about it, and went to hear him. I never heard him, because at the time I was lar H.OMOGRAMS. Tight shoes and worry are the two worst foes to a wornan's beauty.

It is not always practical to have bright colors as the foundation of our work clothes, which must go through. hard washings, but I have learned that it cheers me to have a touch of brightness on these garments. A splash of red or orange on khaki or dark blue relieves the drabness d an almost makes the stern' outfit smile, 'It takes so, little to put bands on, pockets, a collar and .wristbands, or even pn the lower band of the firers, that we can well afford to buy material of fast color fo: this trimming" And if it attracts the attention of our men -folk, even to the suggestion that we ale getting "pretty gay," there will be a twinkle with it—and twinkles always make a man better to look at. -L..

Doc was no different from what I have noticed lots of people are when they first get religion; he got it so hard he could make no allowance at all for pore, weak,sinful mortals, and was a stickler for makin' every- body toe the scratch. The very next Sunday mornin' when Jeff went to see Mary, as usual, Doc took him out to the barn and told hint he was an un- godly man, lost in sin; and that, as her father, his duty to his Maker would not lethim allow Mary to be in such company. Doc told Jeff he would have to repent of his sins. call jut then to jirie the church.

So as the artist must choose what he will have in his, picture and what he will leave out, you, who would make a life, must choose. First, what is your centre of interest; then, what will contribute to it -so the picture, and so the life, is made. And as I watched these artists, I no, tided this—None of them was taking himself for the centre of interest, but everyonewho showed any sign at all. of painting good pictures was putting himself into his painting; expressing and interpreting himself'in terms bf the world of beauty about him, in terms of the interest to be found in other forms and other faces. And that is also a little lesson in liv- ing which I learned this Summer --a little lesson in beautiful living. For I found that as these artists' had been making their pictures of beauty they had also been making personalities of wonderful charm.—S. J. Duncan -Clark in "Success." Minard's Liniment Heats Cuts.
