Granny amd Grandfather were on
the verandah when they drove up to
eaessetastereselateseaseastaeseeesestassnessel the•bungalow. Radiant and breatlelese,
Sara rushed up to them and hastily
ga,ve each a peckof a kies and told
them to come quick to see the chick-
ens. She and Torn were just getting
them into the brooder house. They
must eee the garden, too!
And then the happy family group
vrandered dawn to the Pasture to see
the cows and Tom threw his alms
about the neck -of Bess De Roa .Aagie
while Peter G, silently thanked heaven
for the lure of the farm,
The old moon must have felt pretty
fine that evening when she spied, the
group on the verandah of the beng-
slow and heard their summer plans.
More than once she saw Greanny wipe
awa.y a tear.
"Our own—one very own, Father's
and mine!" the dear old lady was
thinking, "The best has come, the last
of life for which the first was made."
Mother knew her Browning.
There 'was nothing much more left
to be discussed, Saxe was saying; they
had bhoroughly covered everything
that needed the consideration of the
family. But at this point Tom cleared
his throat and after a gulp OT two:
"Well, there are a few things left.
Jean has promised to be my wife. On
one consideration. She laves me but I
am to rnak-e the ,soil make us a living
if she marries me. She absoletely will
not marry a man who gets his money
front his father. And she's no ctityite.
There you have it—and I want to say -
right here that I intend to marry- her!"
Peter G. got up and with his beck
to them walked to the edge of the ver-
andah. He felt Eke "Peter the Great"
for the first time in his succesaful life.
Grandfather laughed aloud!: "Bully for
the girl! She has brains up un.der
those curls of hems." Gnasmarsat still
with closed eyes and a light on her
face. Quietly Ma mother reached. over
and stroked the hair boyishly flung
back from Tom's brow.
"Well, lad, we could give the money
away,- I suppose, if it is going to be
any hindrance to you," Peter G. said,
rening the group. "I should surely
like to see you get the girl. She is
just eight!"
"Well, folks, I have been thinking
alt, though I have not said anything
about it—for really I had no right to
say anything before, for Jean only
made me her little speech last night.
But here it is: If Grandfather would
and you would, Dad, I should like to
have Grandfather have me partner
with him, that is, if you would stake
nae, Dad, for my share. I'll pay- beck,
honest, I will!"
It was too much for Granny. She
fairly ran over to Peter G. and crump-
led up in his arms.
"Not no! I am not going to faint!"
she cried., gurgling between tears and
laughter. "I never did suchne thing
in my life land I do not inrbend to begin
now. My cup of happiness is full.
Don't anyone say anthing more to-
night. I can't stand it! I wanted all
our folks on the farm and—I've got
'em!"
But Sara had one more word to add:
"We could give them this bungalow
for a wedding present, couldn't we
Dad, and then we could build another
one for ourselves over on the other
side of Granny, you know. I em so
glad we had that tremendous fireplace
put in. I thought there'd be plans
and aren't they glorious ones?"

Mrs. Beane insisted upon en

ged for a pantry "just like Granny's."
Under Grandfather's skilful raid -
urea the bungalow sprung up as if
- by magic. They were all determined
it should be formally dedicated by
Labor Day. Sara and her Mother
were Graney's aseistants in cooking
for the carpenters and Sara rapidly
learned Granny's eulinary secrets.
When Toen was not helping with the
bungalaw or the work in the fields, he
was devouring farm papere and coW
pedigrees. Bess De Kol A.agie, the
cow et national fame, was Tom's
especial delight. One day Grandfather

'Lad, the eow is yours," but the time

'but the binder needed study, and a
proud boy was he, during oats harvest,
when one never -to -be -forgotten day,
he drove the binder to cut ten acres
of oats. It beat the city and its white
lights all to nothing!
A deep friendship 'sprung up be-
tween Sara and Tom and Minnie's
thatiren, George and Jean Reid, anti.
rriany were the pienies and rides and
homey comfortable times they had at
CDC house or the other
To Sara and Jean was given the
privilege of buying the dishes and all
litchen accesetnies for the bungalow.
They devoured several volumes on wal-
la -date household appliances,read all
the advertisements and finally caned
to the County Home Demonstration
Agent to help them with the kitchen,
whieh was to be eleetrically equipped.
Minn'e happened to hear of a set

elle captured the coveted prize.
Granny gave them a famous blue -
and -white Helen coverlet that had beeni
woven by her mother and that was to
egiVC-T the couch on the dining porch..
The kitchen was enough to give joy
to the heart. of any housewife. Granny
insisted upon just one thing, a "coni -
rocker by the sunniest window,
euQtioned in delleate blue cretonne, a
• thing .of joy.
Laber Day brought the climax of
*he summer's work. The bungalow
was complete, even to the screened -in
perela Peter G. was eoming out for
the week and Jean and Sara, with the
keys to help, were to serve a dinner
.entirely of tl:eir own planning- and
making.
However much the Home Demon.-
stration approved of that up-to-date
kitchen, it is absolutely certainno
Domestic Science teacher could, have
sanctioned the Leber Day menu, from
the standpoint of dieteties, but sea-
soned as it .was with love and loving
service, it troubled no one. They were
eating angels' food!
When, the radiant vision Of girlhood,
who was his °Dee fretful ani bored
and fashionable city girl, served that
. tever-to-be-forgotten.dinner, Peter G.
remembered how proud he had been of
her .ehen she was a tiny girl and
steed on the stair etep every evening
to. "say pieces" before being tuelced
. in bed. And now, when she lightly
kissed hire on the auk of the neck
and said: "Isn't that chickensirnply
de-licious, Daddy dear?" he felt the
lame emotions that he had felt them
orseeteretalee!'"'s.
The family had planned to go beak
to town by the first of October bat the
young folks coa-xecli and it was finadly
derided to ,stay out until Thanksgrving
and then Peter G. could come out for
another week and take thean all home
with lam.
So once more preparations were
-made for a great dinner. This time
the eelebration was to be at the old
foam home and Granny, serene and
"spry," had never enjoyed prepara-
tions for a big diluter niore than this.
Thanksgiving evening they *ere all
around the open fire. There had been
one of those comfortable silene,es when
eaeh is engrossed with thoughts -too
deep for words. Suddenly Toni
growled: "I am not going back to
town—if Grandfather and Granny will
let me stay and work for them this
winter! Say! Mayn't I?"
Before anyone could speak Sara
spoke up, "Well, if Tom stays, I guess
I can stay, too, so there!"
There was Laughter and discussion,
and the old homeste.a.d won. They shut
up the bungalow. Mary went back to
Montreal to make company for Pete!
G. in the big city home, and Tom and
Sara moved over with Grandfather
and Granny.
Tom slept in the little room under
s the eaves where Peter G., not yet dub-
bed Peter the Great, had slept and
dreamed of future achievements.
TOM'S the2MS were all of farm man-
agement and Sara's all of homemak-
ing.
Many were the evenings Jean and
George joined them while they popped
corn and cracked nuts or swapped
yarns or took turns reading aloud.
Granny was a wonderful hostess and
she or Grandfather were always ready
with a story or book that just fitted in.
Many an evening also did Tom and
Sara spen•d. in. Minnie's home and if
Granny noticed as the winter wore on
that Tom's letters to a tertain girl in
Montreal were growing fewer in num-
ber, she said no word.
One morning Tom came from the
been and dropped down in Granny's
kitehen rocker and blurted out: "Gran-
ny, how did you 'mow that Grand-
father, out of the whole world, was
the one man you wanted to marry—
and that you would never get tired of
him? Tell me, honest to goodness,
Granny! I've got to know!"
Fearlessly Granny looked into the
questioning eyes of young manhood.
"I loved him lad, and. I never loved
anyone else. And he loved me and no
one else."
Then she lifted the veil that the lad
might see and 'mow the sweet story of
unspoiled youth_ When the story was
told, Tom reverently ldssed her and
started to the village.
Minnia opened the door to him that
evening and in a. flash she knew that
her "little girl" was a child no lon•ger
and that this boy -man knew it foe.
"I do like you, Tom," mid Jean
frankly to him as they sat alone by
the fire, "better than anyone I know.
But can't we go on just as we have
been and learn to kidow each other
better?" -
And Tom was forced to he content
with that

Salving Sunken Ships.
Between 8,000 to 10,000 ships, of
which nearly 6,000 are British; it is
estimated, are lying on the ocean bed.
These sunken ships are reckoned to
account for about 15,053,786 gross
tons, and their A estimated value is
$1,330,033,750—at pre-war shipbuilding
rates. With their cargoes, the ships
below the sea are worth more than
five billion—experts put the figures at
$6,021,513,400 roughly. -
There is need for the ships as well
as their precious cargoes to be raised,
and there is small down that the sal-
vage engineer will be kept busy for
years hence,
Ships of no less than 2,000 tons can
usually be raised bodily by means of
pontoons; ships above such a mark
require often more ingenious handling.
Pontooning is employed whenever
possible for salving sunken ships; the
second method ie for ships to be

A. Perfect Kitchen,
When -a woman has a well-planned,
well -fitted -kitchen, where she can ac-
complieli a great deal of work with
the least podsible effort, she has time
and strength left for other activities
of home and community,
The "efficieut" kitchen should faaa
south and east or south and west.
Then sunlight, absolutely necessary
to sanitation, can enter the kitchen at
all hours of the day. Since the kit-
ehen is the room where the. food is
prepared for the table, it should be
the most eanitary YOODI in the house.
The pathway to other rooms should
not lead threugh the kitchen. This
reduces cleaning A serviee perch
should ,connect the kitchen and the
back hall. Where such proaision
made, not more than two 'doors will
be needed.
It is beet for the 'window ledge to be
above the working surface of the
oinks and tables as this leaves the
wall -space for furniture. The win-
dows should reach to the ceiling and
be open full width or arranged to be
lowered from the top and raised from
the hotten). to allow the quick escape
of hot air. Hot, moist air exhausts
the one who has to work in it. A
hood over the range will aid in re-
moving heat,- entoke and odors.
° The size of the kitchen depends on
the number of workers and the use to
which the kitchen must be put. A
small kitchen with every inch of wall
space given to cupboards or working
surfaces, saves effort and time. .An
alcove dining space built in a small
kitchen evill save many steps.
A kitchen cannot be sanitary unless
the walls are washable. Light paint
is best, but varnished wall paper, imi-
tation tile_paper, or oilcloth are good.
Linoleum is the best floor covering
because it saves time and strength
and reduces the jar in walking.
If the equipment used in preparing
meals is kept together, also the
equipment for clearing away meals,
much time will be saved. The most
used utensils may well be permanent-
ly grouped on a few shelves over the
.kitchen table, the sink, or near the
stove.
The refrigerator, which should be
near the work table, should be built
so that it can be filled from the porch.
Most sinks are too low. They should
be of such a height that stooping will
not be necessary. 'The sink should
have good light and have the draM
board placed at th-e- left.
Built-in cupboard space insures "a
place for everything". The upper
parts of the cupboards can be used
for storage space if they have sep-
arate doors. Supply cupboards which
have narrow shelves are more easily
kept in order than. if the shelves are
wide. A cleaning closet eliminates an
unsightly array of brooms or other
cleaning materials and utensils.
If supplies are kept in the base-
ment, a dumb -waiter is a great con-
venience. The dunib-waiter may be
made into a refrigerator by digging
and cementing a pit into .which it is
lowered.
Any kitchen can be improved by re-
arrangement hut the best type is the
one planned to suit the work and the
workers.
The Housewife's Exchange.
A valuable hint to those still -using
kerosene lamps is to soak new, dry
wicks in vinegar, and dry before us-
ing. Or, as I slid „recently, take the
wicks out of the lainps you are now
using, and wipe them as dry as pose
sible with waste cloth, then wash in
hot soapy• water, and beta Dry, soak
in vinegar for at least fifteen minutes,
dry again, and then they are ready
for use. The result will be a clear,
bright light, with no odor, and last,
but not least, a 'smokeless chimney,
even whenthe:light is turned high.

I want to tell you how I made two
Pretty serviceoble comforts with very
little work and no expense at all. I
had 'several half -worn gingham and
chambray "house deestes, an old lieen
skirt, an old sateen petticoat, e green
poplin dress, ElOrtlii Tartly worn Shirts,
and a few new pieces—all to good
to throw away, end not good enough
to make over. I ripped these up,
pressed them, and from the best parts
cut out large blocks fourteen inches
equttre, and Mall ones over seven
inches square. 1 pieced one top en-
tirely out of small squares), one of
alternate block a of Tette one and
four small Mies pieced into a block.
The linings were both made entirely of
large squares. '
I did all the sewing on the machine,
se it did not take long. I used twine
taken out of flour sacks to tie them
with.
When I had the covers made I took
two ()Id 'comforts that were too badly
torn to use and removed the old
covers. I laid the new linings on my
clean floor, then an old comfort on
each, and on top a new cover. The
covers were pinned evenly to the com-
forts all around, and tacked. This is
soenueh quicker than using a freeire.
My comforts are large and pretty,
and the material is better than I could
afford to buy.—F. S.
The Afternoon Change.
A change of dress is as good as a
nap, It refreshes, it brightens, it
calms the nerves and gives a new im-
petus to the work in band. Not only
is it beneficial to the wearer, but also
to those whemust see her as well.
Yet countless women—iarm women
especially—never put on a fresh dress
after dinner unless company is expect-
ed or they are going to town.
A dress worn from daybreak until
bedthne settles by late 'afternoon into
weary lines that tell of fatigue and
even worry. To the husband, tired
from aday of hard labor in the fields,
there is nothing refreshing and rest-
ful in the sight of his wife bustling
around M her morning work clothes.
Neither does a feeling fpeace and
quiet steal over them in the evening
when the wife sits down to sew or
mend in her crumpledwork-lined
gown.
"What's the use," these women gen-
erally ask, "of changing my dress in
the afternoon? There's no one to
see me but my own folk.'
True, but the "own forks" count for
Something, do they not? And so, too,
do you youteelf. If a change into a
fresh gown, with its accompanying
washirig of face, arms, and neck, and
"smoothing up" at least of the hair,
will refredh you, brighten you, make
you a more cheerful companion to '
husband and children, the few min-
utes required for the changewill be
time well -spent. The dress need not
be elaborate—far from it! Elabor-
ateness and farm chores de not go
hand M hand. The dress may even
be twin sister to the morning go-wn,
but that does not matter. It is the
freshness that -counts, that absence
in it of those weary, telltale lines of
a hard day's -work.
How Plate Glass is Made.
The cast plate -glass of which mir-
rors, shop windows, and such things
are made, is prepaxed from the
whitest sand, broken plate -glass, soda,
a small proportion of lime, and a much
smaller amount of maganese.,and co-
balt oxides.
The glass, when perfectly melted;
is poured upon an iron table of the
size required, and the thickness is re-
gulated by a strip of iran placed dov.rn
each of the four aides of the table.
Immediately after it is poured out, the
molteri substance is flattened. down
by an iron roller, which lowers the
glass -Le the thickness of the strips at
the sides, It is then annealed, or tem-
pered, for several days, after which it
is ground perfectly level, and polished
to transparent brilliancy. '
The first plateglass was made in
1688, at St. Picardy, in France, where
the process was found out by .an acci-
dent, as so ma.ny other important
methods in manufacture have been
discovered, where there were eyes to
see the accidents and minds to apply
theta, or the lessons they taught, to
the advance of art or industry,.
