The Cornish people have virtually the same ideas in their famous "pasties," or individual meat and vegetable pies. Now why isn't this a good idea for us to follow -one or two days of the week? The chopped soup meat of the dayebefore may be well seasoned and made into individual biscuit pies. Or such inexpensive vegetables as tur- nips, carrots and cabbage may be chopped coarsely, drained and used as filling. Then we 'can have a most nourishing meal with these two dish- es, spup and a pastry accessory, easy to make and most economical, and especially suited to - winter weather. In the making of the pastry such fats as goose grease, rendered suet, chicken fat, etc., may be used, thus saving on :utter and more expensive oils. For children under ten the cream soups are perhaps a wiser choice. These have milk as a basis and the strained pulp of any vegetable. Even with milk at twelve or fifteen cents a quart it is a cheap food, 12ecause one quart of milk. yieldseas much nourish- ment as six eggs, a quart of oysters or a pound of round steak. A. good' strainer, preferably of the stationary type, fastened to the table with a clamp, is necessary. Any canned vege- tables, as peas, corn, `tomato, etc., may be used, as well as -current fresh vege- tables. Children enjoy peanut butter soup, cream of •corn soup, cream of celery, cream of parsnip, etc. The housewife may be too busy to design herself a coat of arms, but.in one of .the panels at least there should be a soup pot!

I laughed all but aloud at this spot in my meditations, as a special vision of Rafael rose suddenly, when he had stated, on a day, his views of the great war. He talked plain language about the Germans. He specified why he considered the nation a disgrace to humanity—most people, not German, agree on the thesis and its specifications. Then the lire of his ancient fighting blood blazed through restraint of manner. He drew up his tall figure, slim -waist- ed, deep -shouldered, every inch elid- ing muscle. "I am too old to go on first call to army," said Rafael. "Zey will not take me. Yes, and on second call. Maybe zird gime. But if time came when army take me—I go. If I may kill four Germans'I Will be con- tent," stated Rafael -concisely. And his warrior forebears would have been proud of him as he stated it. My reflections were disturbed here by the American general at the next table. He was spoken to by his waiter and shot up and left the room, carry- ing, however, his napkin lin his hand so that 1 knew he was due to come back. A half sentence suggested a telephone. I watched the soldierly back with plenty of patriotic pride; this was the sort of warrior my coup. - try turned out now by tens of thou- sands. With that he returned and as I looked up into his face, behold it was Fitzhugh. My chair went banging as I sprang toward him. "Jim!" And the general's calm dignity sud- denly was 'the radiant grin of the boy who had played and gone to school and stolen apples with ane for long bright yearns—the bay lost eight of these list years of his in the army. "Dave! he cried out. "Old Davy Cram!" And his arm went around my shoulder regardless of the public. "My word, but I'm glad!" he sputter- ed And then: "Come and have dinner —finish having it. Come to our table." He stewed me about and presented me to the three others. In a minute I was installed, to the pride of my friend the head waiter, at military headquarters, next to Fitz- hugh and the Frenchman. A sroanpaot resume of peri nal history between Fitzhugh and merself over, I turned to the blue figure on my left hand, Col- onel Raffre of French army. On his broad chest hung thrilling bits of color, not only the bronze war -cross, with its dark -green watered ribbon ibut the blood -red striped with red, ribbon of the "Great Cross" itself— the cross of the Legion of Idonor.

The laying out of grounds, said Wordsworth, may be considered, in sonao sense, fir' liberal .art, like poetry;: and painting. The exercise of the nelfre in the past has been largely for the benefit of royal persons, the aristoc- racy ristoc'racy and the wealthy few. The foun- dation and development of garden suburbs for the common people, where children may play in safety in out- door schools in touch with. beauty and the wholesome influences of nature, where householders may have the op- portunity of growing flowers and vege- tables and have an outdoor home in the not summer months, where . the noise of tr' tffic and the ugliness of in- dustrial life may be banished for a time, where adults uiay indulge their tnates for sports and find common ground for social and intellectual in- terest in the whiter time in club -rooms and community halls—this is a new movement and has for its its piration that better life for the people that has been promised and prophesied ad one of the results of the struggle and sacrifice .of the war. Success in England. The garden suburbs in the Old Country—such as Hampstead -.'are ac- complished facts, and the testimony to their sociological importance is written in a score of books and in thousands of articles. Canada cannot lag behind in this movement and con- tinue to justify its claim to be govern- ed by the people and for the people. A beginning has been made in the capital, city and before the present year has closed substantial progress will have been made with the -develop- ments of two garden suburbs, east and west Qf the city, called Lindenlea and Parkdale. The Ottawa Housing Com- mission has bought two estates of , about twenty acres each, which have been laid out on town planning linen - by Mr. Thomas Adaans, Housing and a Town Planning Adviser to the Conn mission of Conservation. The estates have been bought at a reasonable figure, and lots will be sold to the future residents at from $340 to $GOO. The applications for lots at Linden - lea have exceeded the number avail- able, and there is practical assurance that the sites of the Parkdale estate will all be allotted within a very short 'time. The estates contain many beau- tiful trees which have all been plot- ted, and most of them will be pm - served for the adornment of the new settlements. Encourage Community Spirit. On the Lindenlea property a wind- ing boulevard has been planned to intersect the grounds, which -will com- mand many beautiful views. Pro- vision has been made for" tennis courts, bowling green, children's play. ground and wading pool, sites for com- munity hall and public garage, and the residential streets have been plan- ned -to discourage through traffic, so as to ensure additional safety for - children and pre'lrirve quiet and home- like amenities fpr the householders. No lot will have less than a thirty- foot frontage, and in these oases semi„ detached houses will be encouraged to economize space for garden pur- poses. The houses `will be arranged under Mr. Adams' supervision, with a view to architectural harmony and to agreeable aspect and prospect, and much will be done to encourage a civilized community spirit in the social organization of the estates. o I The development of the garden sub- urb in the capital city will have the obvious advantage that representa- tives from the cities of the Dominion who have frequent occasions to visit Ottawa will be able to study the mode- ment on'the spot, and, thus Lindenlea and Parkdale may serve as object les- sons that will lead to extension of the garden suburb movement over the whole* of Canada. The Most Attcient Egg. . Just before the war began, during excavations in the ancient -IVlbguntia- cum, under the auspices of the Arch- aeological society of. ayen ce, there was found a hen's egg which was es- timated to have lain buried in the earth for something like nineteen can. turies. Moguntiacum was built iy Drusus, the son of tie Roman Emperor,Augusn tus, in. the year 14 B.C. Upon the site of the ancient Roman caatrum or en- campment near the city tbo excaera- tions in question brought to light many inteaesttng�relics, including some water ciserns of Roman make. It was in one of these, which was lo- cated some twenty feet below the sur- face, that a damaged Roman clay -pot was discovered, containing the shell of a broken egg and also a whole egg that had been kept from being smash, ed by a shred of the damaged pot, which Covered it!
