Varying the Menu. What an easy time we "overwork- ed" housekeepers have as compared with our grandmothers and mothers. Yes, and even with the days of our oldest sisters, to -day's housekeeping is eomparmtively, easy, when it comes • to getting meals. Ai thohght of it. the outer day whhn,>r: discovered that of +mo• the thirty o1 re cans •in the fruit locker still 'filled: with "something" only four contained fruit.' At first it was .rather .. disconcerting to think that home-grown strawberries are still several weeks away, oranges eighty cents to one dollar a dozen, depending on the grocer's "nerve," *roil apples six to ten cents apiece, -also depending on the same price basis. Then came the comfortable thought, "Oh, well; the children like gelatine, .and the price of that As fixed:" So gelatine it will be till' straw- berry time. We 'can buy it with' the freit flavor' and serve it without ad- ditions if we like, or if we want to add the fruit, oneoiange will go a long way when used only to give flavor, It doesn't need to be oranges either, for, any fruit goes with this dessert. Or, for the matter of that, any vege- table or left over meat, if it isn't dessert we are trying to. extend. A favorite mixture contains only sweet fruits, a few raisins, figs chopped or cut 'in small pieces, and a date or two. This gives a better balanced dish than the gelatine alone, since the jelly, being a meat extractive, is an acid producer, while the fruits etre base producers—that is, they give alkali in reaction. There are so many ways in which the prepared jelly powders win be used that one could not give a tenth of the recipes in one article. Suppose. you have a little cold chicken, not enough to put on the table in the. present. condition, a hit of breast, the neck and wings, maybe a piece of the back. You shred the meat from the bones, prepare your jelly powder ac- cording to directions on the package, flavor with celery salt, m,ii✓it, kitchen; bouquet or any good flavor that goes well with meat, and the minced thick- et?, and pour into a mold, empty bak- ing powder outs or tin coffee cans do - very nicely. Lacking even these, your bread tins make nicely formed molds. Set the mold away on the, cellar floor until the jelly hardens,' turn out on a platter garnished with parsley, 'watercress, lettuce cut In ribbons, even celery tops or carrot) tops, and you 'have a dainty platter of jellied chicken, Two or three chopped olives mixed with the meat. acid to the flavor of the dish and the beauty as well. So much for your meat. A. salad is as easily made with the left -over vegetables. Bits of cold carrots and beets diced, cold canned peas, lima - hears, any vegetable your family likes: will . bo relished if added to gelatine as you do fruit and served with your own salad dressing, To- mato jolly is made by using hafting strained tomatoes instead of the boiling water called for.

If you haven't the individual molds, use teacups of uni- form size. Before using molds, fill with cold water, pour out the water and immediately fill with the jelly. The mold will then turn out:easily after it hardens. 'To your meat and salad now_ add your dessert. Yon probably have your own favorite recipe, but'nere is one "discovered" by 'a farm woman which is a prime favorite in her com- munity. For the amount of water called for in the directions given with a ten -cent package, substitute the juice from a pint can of strawberries. If there is not enough liquid, add enough boiling' water to make it up. Just before the jelly sets, carefully stir in the bermes, and a half a ban- ana sliced. Allow to harden, turn out in your prettiest glass dish, slice a banana on top, and pile thick with sweetened whipped creams, Loganberry jelly is always liked. Combined with dates it makes a deli- eious and nutritive dish. Dates are high in carbohydrates, sugar, the dried dates as we get thein contain- ing on' the average 1,605 calories to the pound. A dessert pleasing to the eye as well as the palate is made by placing 'halves of stoned dates around the edge of a mold at two-inch intervals, then filling the mold with loganberry jelly. Allow to harden, the out on a glass or china plate, cover with whipped cream and on top arrange a .cifcle of dates. Pile cream high within this circle and lay one- half a date in the centre. A mixture of vegetables .in jelly will sound better if you call it a "Macedoine," for macedoine, while it means simply: mixture, sounds differ- ent. Lemon jelly is the best flavor for these vegetable mixtures, and looks well garnished with beets cut in orange section shapes. To get your beets to stay in place, pour just' a little jelly in your mold and Tet it harden, place the beets in position, then pour do the rest of the macedoine and let harden. When emptied on the serv- ing dish the beets are on the outside as a garnish.

"Don'ts" In 1i4e_..Use of the Sewin* Machine. Don't forget to oil :he sewing ma- chine frequently. The treadle and pitman should be oiled in their bear- ings almost as often as the working parts above the table. Don't allow the machin to stand uncovered when not in use, as it collects dust and lint. The working parfs below the cloth plate should be dusted' and lint removed frequently with a small camel's hair brush. The parts above the cloth plate should be wiped often with cheesecloth. Don't run the machine while it is threaded without a piece of material under the foot, as this causes the thread to knot around the bobbin and makes a big, ugly hunch of threhd on the under side of the work. when stitching is begun. There is often a tendency ,on the .part of the oper- ator to stitch several inches after the end omf the seam has been reached. This is 0 had practice. Don't ,pull the material while it is being stitched; as this causes a stretched, tight, ugly stitch and very often' blunts or breaks the needle. The feed will take care of this unas- sisted and will push the material through as fast as the maghine can take care of it. Learn First Aid. The small son of the house pinched Isis finger the other day and later an infection developed. Pus formed and oozed out beneath the nail, I applied the good old remedy, flax -seed poul- tice, but the infection spread and the finger grew worse and worse. A doctor charged me four dollars to tell me that I should have first paint- ed the finger with iodine—then made a solution of one teaspoon of ,boracie acid to a half pint of boiling water, covered the linger with a pad of antiseptic gauze soaked in this, and 1 !sept the pad soaked day and night. A. cot of antiseptic gauze will keep the pad in position and the whole t thing is to have the solution poured over it at frequent intervals to keep the pad wet. This treatment cured the (infection in less than a week.

"Hut dad -dad was a Wield And he asked ti's to come again. Again! Good Heavena! As if I'd go through that again; It was so much worse there . than at home. But I'm glad ho didn't put her in mother's chair, I don't think even I could have stood that --to- day!" "Well, that's over," murmured Helen complacently, as they turned into the public sidewalk,—"and well over! Still, I didn't enjoy myself so very much, and I don't believe you did either," she laughed, "else you wouldn't have been ,in such a taking to get away. There was no answer. Helen, how- ever, evidently sure of her.ground did not seem to notice. She yawned pleasantly, "Guess 'I'nt sleepy. Ate too much 'Twas a good dinner; and, just 'as I told your" father; things always - taste especially good when you don't get much at home. I said it on purpose. I thought maybe 'twotild make him think.. Still silence. ' Helen turned sharply and peered into her husband's face, "What's the natter?" site demand- ed 'suspiciously. "Why are you so glum'?" Burke, instantly alert to the dan- ger df having another scene such as had followed Gleason's first visit, desperately ran to cover. "Nothing, nothing!" He essayed a gay smile, and succeeded. "I'm stu- pid, that's all, Maybe I'm sleepy myself." "It can't be you're put out 'cause we came away so early! You sug- gested it yourself." Her eyes were still suspiciously bent' upon him: "Not a bit of it! , I wanted to come.'' She relaxed and took her gaze off his face. The unmistakable sincer- ity in his voice this last time had carried conviction, "Tim -m• I thought you did," she murmured contentedly again. "Still, I Was kind of seared when you pro- posed it. I didn't suppose 'twas proper to eat and run. Mother al- ways said so. Do you think he minded it—your father?" "Not a bit!" Burke, ,!n his thank- fulness to have escaped the threaten- ed scene, was enabled to 'speak light- ly, almost gayly. "lam -m. Well, I'm glad, I would- n't have wanted him to mind. I tried to be 'specially nice to him, didn't I?„ "You did, certainly," Burke's lips came together a little grimly; but Helen's eyes were turned away; and after a moment's pause she changed the subject --to her husband's ' in- finite relief.• , R CHAPTER IX. Burke Denby did not attempt to deceive himself after that Sunday dinner.. His marriage had been a mistake, and be knew it. He was dis- appointed, ashamed, and angry. He told himself that he was heartbroken; that he still loved Helen dearly— only he did not like to bo with her now. She made hint nervous, and rubbed hint the wrong way. Her mood never seemed to fit in -with his. She had so many little evays— Sometimes he told himself irritab- ly that he believed that, if it were a big thing like a. crime that Helen had committed, he could be heroic and fdrgiving, and glory ,in it. But for- ever to battle against a succession of never-ending lirritatvons, always !to encounter the friction of antagonistic aims and ideals—it was maddening. He was ashamed of himself, of course. He was ashamed of lots of things that he said and did. But he could not help an explosion now and then. He felt as if somewhere, within him, was an irresistible force driving him to it. And the pity of it! Was he not, indeed, to be pitied? What had he not given Op? As if it were his fault that he was now so disillusioned! Ile had supposed that' marriage with Helen would be a fresh joy every morning, a .new delight every even- ing; an unbelievable glory of happi- ness—just beings together, Now --he did not want to be to- gether. He did not want to go home to fretfulness, fault-finding, slovenli- ness, and perpetual criticism. He wanted to go home to peace and har- nony, big, quiet rooms, servants that chew their business, and—dad. And that was another thing—dad. Dad had been right, He himself had been wrong. But that did not mean that it was easy to own .up that he had been wrong. Sometimes he hard- ly knew which out the deeper: that be had been proved wrong, . thus los- ing his happiness, or that his father had been proved night, thus placing rim in a position to hear the hated 'I told you so." That Helen could never make him happy Burke was convinced now. Never bad he realized this so fully as since seeing her at his father's table that Sunday.' Never had her "ways" so irritated hint. Never had he so poignantly realized the signifi- cance of what he had lost—and won. Never had he been so ashamed—or so ashamed because he was ashamed —as on that day. Never, he vowed, would he be placed in the same po- sition again, As to Helen's side of the matter— Burke quite forgot that there was such a thing, When one is so very sorry for ono's self, one forgets to ,e sorry for anybody else, Ancl Burke was, indeed, very sorry for himself. Having never been in the habit of eking disagreeable medicine, ]ie did not know hots to take it now. Having seen always accustomed to consider only himself, he considered only el •Thati Self now. 'Helen ton, might be disappointed and disillusioned never occurred to him. It was perhaps a month later that another invitatiien to dinner came front John Beeby, This time Burke did not stutter out a ,joyous, ineoher- ant acceptance, He declined sp promptly and emphatically that Mi rte forgot his inamlers, far the mos nerd, and had to attach to the sacci of hls refusal a hurried and /hor t- ual"It'-ithank, you; you are very kind, Z',m.taurel"' Ha' looked tie then and met his father's eyes. But in staidly his gale ch'opped. "Er—ah-.-Helen is not well' at al dad" he still furthee'edded, nervous ly, "Of course I'll speak to her, But I don't think we earl• come;' There was a•moment's pause. Then, very gravely, John Denby said; "Olt, I am sorry, son," Bunce, with a sudden tightening of his throat, turned mind walked away "IIe didn't laugh, he didn't sneer, ho didn't look anyhow, only just plain sorry," choked the young mail to himself. "And he had such a mag- nificent chance to do—all of them. But he just—understood." Burke "apoke to Helen" that night. "Father asked u$ to dinner next Sunday; but—I said I didn't think we could go, I told him you weren't feeling well. I didn't think you'd want to go; and—I didn't want to go myHelenself."- frowned apd pouted. '"Well, I've got my opinion of folks who refuse an invitation without even asking 'em if' they want to go," she bridled. "Not that I mind much in th,i's- ease, though,—if it's just a dinner. I thought once, maybe he meant something—that he was giv- ing in, you know. But I haven't seen any signs of that, And as for just going, to dinner—I can't say .I am 'specially anxious for that—mean as I feel now." "No, I thought not," said Burke. And there the matter ended. As the summer passed, Burke fell into the way of going often to see his father, though never at meal -time. He went alone, Helen said sho did not care to go, and that she did not see what fun Burke could find in it anyway. To Burke, these hours that he spent with his father chatting and smoking in the dint old library, or on the vine - shaded verandah, were like a breeze blowing across the desert of existence —like water in a thirsty land. From day to day he planned these visits. From hour to hour he live, upon them. To all appearances John Denby and his son had picked up their old com- radeship exactly where the marriage had severed it. Even to Burke's watchful, sensitive eyee the "wall" seemed quite gone. There was, how- ever, one difference; mother Was never mentioned. John Denby never spoke of her note, (To be continued.) VOLUNTEERS FROM S. AMERICA. Nearly 1,000 Have Paid the Sacrifice Out of 12,000 Brltishers. Vessels bound for South America nowadays carry among theirpassen- gees large numbers of bronzed and !tardy young men, some whole and sound, others bearing scars and losses of conflict, but all displaying upon their breasts a special military badge, the "B.V.L,A.," or British Volunteers of Latin America, says a London des- patch. These men are returning to one or another of the Latin republics, where when tear broke out they were en- gaged on railways, cattle ranches, plantations or mines or in banks and commercial houses established years ago by British enterprise and capital. _ Twelve thousand of these men on the declaration 02 war left their posi- tions and hurried across many thou- sands of miles•of sea in answem'to the call of the mother country. From Ar- gentine alone, where British interests are markedly strong, it is estimated that some 7,000 volunteers set out. Withdrawal of these men from South American industries and euter- Prise has been of no light concern, for British interests havo suffered and development has been checked. Not all of those who set out so gallantly are returning. Nearly 1,000 were kill- ed or cried of wounds, while others are too seriously disabled to return to active life. Dat this is certain,, that wherever these Anglo -South American volun- teers have gone they have carried in- spiring accounts of Latin America with them. Little has been known of these contingents, because, like the British volunteers from the United States and other parts, they carne across the Atlantic on their own re- sponsibility and enlisted in whatever regiment was convenient. Committees have' been formed for the purpose of rounding them up, with a London headquarters. Where all necessary information regarding pas- sage money and demobilization call be obtained.

Australian, they told each other, waif a fine fellow physically, and had a countenance -which would look well on an old Roman coin, there being about hint a suggestion of bleaked nose and ancient imperialism. The Canadian, an the other hand, was more English in his traits, olid but fo"r a certain breadth of feature might make an ex- cellent. Cockney. As for the New Zea- lander, one of the two observers had carried away an impression of slight- er and more `agile make, with a -richer colq,'ing, both in face acid eyes, than either the Australian or the Canadian. The second titan denied that New Zea- land had evolved a type; but, as he happened to he a New Zealander him- self, it night "be argued that his per- ception was obscured by familiarity, Missed Chance to Gather Data. Professor.Keitlt, the eminent anthro- pologist, who has recently been giving us such interesting lessons from the human skull, was asked whether this empirical theory of types was soundly based. Though sympathetic, he was not reassuring, being inclined to think that if Englishmen and their overseas brethren were mingled in equal pro- portions, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish between then. Climatic conditions produced superficial differences, The Now Zea- lander's color, for example, might be ascribed to the atmospherical sur- roundings of his life at home; to the sante causes, indeed, which impart the tinge to the Englishman's cheek, and to which the English girl owes her coIlplexlon. But science is so far from being dog- matic on the question that it regrets the opportunity afforded by the mass- ed presence of so many members of the British family in England has been lost owing to the immediate necessities of war. Htstructive data might have been obtained if authority had not been, compelled to fix its at- tention on more urgent matters, Even now there remains a chance of secur- ing details, of the kind of which science can pay attention, before the great battalions are broken up for- ever. Meanwhile, from the scientific point of view, we must be cautious of talking of types, lest we be misled by the multitude of details which are apt to lead observation astray.
