Is it now considered proper for one to light one's own cigar- ette before that of a companion, so as to avoid the taste of sulphur in that person's cigarette? A. No; this taste is in evidence only during the first flaring of the match. Light your match, and if you wish, wait just a second before applying it to your friend's cigar- ette—then light your own. , Q. If a woman is wearing a cor- sage pinned on her coat when entering a restaurant, what does she do with it? A. She takes it off and pine it on her dress where it will show off to much better advantage, Q. Is it proper to have ushers, when having no bridesmaids, at a church wedding where about 100 guests are expected? A. This is not only proper, but necessary. Q. How does a young married woman introduce her mother to another person? A. She must be sure to give her mother's name, saying. 'This is my mother, Mrs. Jones," so that the other person will know what to call her in speaking to her. Q. What refreshments should be served at a reception that follows the christening of a child? A. The menu is the usual one for an afternoon informal tea, with refreshments served in buffet style. Q. Is a girl ever privileged to announce her own engagement? A. Only to her family and close friends. Public announcement is made by her parents or closest relatives. Q. Should a birthday greeting card received from a friend who Lives ata distance be acknowledged in any way? A. Most certainly. Thank the friend for remembering your birth- day in a note, written promptly. Q. Is it considered improper for a bridegroom to see his bride on the wedding day before the ceremony? A, There is nothing improper about it. There is merely an old superstition that this is bad luck. Q. When giving a formai dinner, should the carving be done at the table? A. No; it should be done in the kitchen. At an informal dinner, the carving may be done at the table. Q. May a young man invite a young girl to a week -end party in his home? A, The invitation to a young girl who is a friend of the aon of the family must always come from the mother, or from his sister, Squelch We all know the man who is too, too resolutely the life and soul of the party.

JJNlY SCOL LESSON By The Rev. R. Barclay Warren THE FI GHT FOR CHRISTIAN FREEDOM Acta 15: 1-6, 22.29; Gal, 2: 16 Golden Text: Stand fast therefore let the liberty, wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage— Gal, 5:1, What we learn in eitildiood, sticks. The customs of childhood tend to gather a halo about them, which in later life we conte to re- vere. So, with many. of the Jews who became Christians, it was diffi- ault to turn aside from the ceremon- ial laws of Moses. Paul was a notable exception. He saw with per- fect clearness the relation of the law to the gospel of Christ. To the Galatians who were beginning to trust in their works to save then!, he wrote, "Before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed, Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith, But after that faith is come, we are no longer under the schoolmaster," Gal, 3: 23-25. Once Sadhu Sunder Singh enter- ed into conversation with a Hindu "holy man" lying on a bed of spikes. For eighteen months' the Hindu had been torturing his body that he might crush the desires of self. He admitted, "I have not yet gained my object, nor is it possible to do so in so short a time.

We can do nothing to merit salva- tion. Joining the church, paying money, trying to live a moral life; none of these will bring God's peace to the soul. We are saved by faith and faith alone, It is not what we can do but faith in what Jesus has done, "Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe— Sin has left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow." The Church owes mach to Paul for preserving the purity of the Gospel. "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your- selves; it is the . gift of God." Eph, 2:8. Real Heroes February 3 marked the seventh anniversary of one of the Second World Ye'ar's greatest disasters and greatest acts of heroism. On that tragic day in 1943 the United States Army transport Dorchester was heading for England, and was about 600 miles south of Greenland when a German submarine made a direct hit on the transport, despite several escorting vessels which surrounded the precious cargo of men, In that catastrophe 850 men gave their lives, including four chaplains, who sacri- ficed their lives so that four other men, regardless of their race, color or religion, could be saved. These four chaplains, two Protestant min- isters, a Catholic priest and a Jewish rabbi, are 'a credit to humanity. Their names were Clark Poling, John F, Washington, Alexander D. Goode and George L. Fox, • No Steaming In very cold weather, glass will not steam over when it comes in contact with .warm or hot air if it is rubbed over on both sides with wet soap. Do not wash the soap off, but polish it with tissue paper until it is sparkling clear. This process is partkrtlarly good for windshields. H'svo$'s9 wL s IN ERF Y (:•uo.tldotirt.e. P Ctoa:he We had a houseful again this week -end and the fun and chatter that went on was a welcome change from a week of considering prob- lems that were concerned only with falling farm prices and the eccen- tricities of the weather. Daughter was home and in great forth—quite well pleased with her housing venture, but still wondering how she can cope with the various things that need to be done—all of which cost money. But, as she says, even if she doesn't make a fortune, at least she Inas a comfortable home. The young couple, friends of Daughter's, who occupy the ground floor rooms have been helping with some of the decorating. "Just wait until you see my • Bubble Room," says Daughter, "It's swell." "Bubble Room," I echoed in be- wildered surprise. "Yes, that's what we call it;" laughed Daughter. "You see, we got a bargain price on some real good wallpaper but when it came to put- ting it on, it was so heavy that it wouldn't hold the paste properly. So, because of the various places where the paper didn't stick, we called it `The Bubble Room'," Electric wiring has been another of her worries. The house, being old, has insufficient circuits. "So," said Daughter, "until I discovered the trouble, we spent most of our time blowing fuses." Partner has already nicknamed her "time Land- lady" and before starting back on her trip to Toronto yesterday, Daughter proved the title was welt deserved. It so happened the wind had got up, and it was also getting quite a bit colder. "Oh, the dickens!" says Daughter, as an extra heavy gust hit our house; "I hope that wind dies down—it's going to be hard on my oil furnace!"

Apropos of that gathering, I like the headline to Lotta Dempsey's column toclay—"You can't tell an editor from a farmer at 'the Falls." After all, what does an editor, or a farmer, look like? I am not going to stick my neck out by giv- ing you my idea of a typical editor, but 1 do know that some folks' idea of a typical farmer is a man in overalls, pant legs rolled over rub- ber boots; wearing a smock or windbreaker; cap puled down over his ears and a' beard admittedly a little on the fuzzy side. Yes, and you can find this type in any small tow0 in an agricultural area; be- cause naturally, each man must dress according to his trade or pro- fession, 11 the farmer had to shave and change his clothes before going to town — and then change back again before starting his chores or going out to the field, then he would sure lose a lot of time. nut when the farmer is through with his work for tete day and ire. tends going out; or wean business or pleasure takes Lint to the city, then, as Lotta Dempsey says --"Yon ean't tell all editor from a farmer', —the editor also having sited hie workday clothes; and given his roll. stained fingers a bit of extra scrub- bing.
