Dandelion in Salad Gather the early tender plant .of • dandelion: It is best when just show- ing on top' of the ground, The whiter and more blanched it is the more deli - nate is the flavor. Sometimes it grows up long, blanched and delicious under fallen boards or around and un- der stones. 'Sometimes you may find it in a freshly plowed field. Andyou may be sure the farmer will be only too glad to see you come and gather all you can take away for it is an un- desirable weed to him except when he uses it on his table, if he has also grown to like its slightly bitter taste. Cut off the roots as you gather it and keep ate free from grass as pos- sible as you go along. Rut it all in a large dishpan (it takes a lot of dande- lion to make a good sized dish full for it goes together a good bit), 'cover well with warm salty water, wash through a number of waters to remove allthe sand, then cut a few slices of bacon into dice and fry brown in large frying pan. Add e, to % cup white wine vinegar not too strong, 1 tblsp. sugar more or less according to taste, salt and pepper. When it is. boiling add the dandelion. Turn it over and over with a spoon to get it 'well mixed until it is wilted, but do not boil or cook It, Put it into a salad bowl and cover with sliced hard boiled eggs. This tastes very good with a ham and eggs dinner. Many people eat It every day in the•spring if they have time to gather it until the dandelion grows too old.

Twilight Hour Story—Chapter 18 About Wee Chickies and Other Little Friends I told you last week that when their first brought Fluffy, the persian pussy, home, Rover didn't caro about it very mach. 01 rouse he wouldn't hurt her because he knew Fluffy belonged to the house just as much as he did, but one day just shortly after Fluffy came she was outside enjoying a sun bath, Llamma and Billy were up town and Rover thought it would be fun to make Fluffy run and he actually chased her up a tree. She was go sur- prises to think he'd run after her, but oho found rhe could climb a tree al- t .ost as easily as wanting.. But even when she was high above Rover she was so frightened that she kept on climbing up and up. Then When she was away up there and looked down she was so high up she was afraid to come down. I tell you Fluffy was glad when she saw Mamma Lady and Billy. coming home just then. It happened a little -neighbor boy saw Rover chase' Fluffy, so he came over and said, "Rover chased Fluffy up the tree. I saw him." Mamma Lady looked hard at Rover and said, "Rover, did you chase Fluffy up there? Shame! I didn't think you'd do that." And Rover hung his head and came over slowly; then when he got to Mamma Lady he put up his paw to shako hands. That was his way of saying he was sorry. But Mamma Lady had to punish him for doing that so he wouldn't do it again, and she took his head in her hand and slapped the side of his nose a few times, Not very hard, for, dM you know, you don't often' need to punish animals very. hard to make them mind. But then you mustn't let them off altogether, either, for they must know what is right and what is wrong just the same as little boys'and girls must'ehe taught. Don't you think so? Well, Fluffy' was away up in the tree seeing alibis, and when Mamma Lady looked up at her and called her, she was so excited and delighted she couldn't stand still : Site called her again, and' do you know what Fluffy did? She didn't climb down tide time but she jumped down all the way, It may be she lost her balance, for the branch was so little away up there and she wasn't used to climbing yet. Anyway she jumped down all that way, and what do you think? She landed right ou her paws. Kitties always fall on their paws if they slip; did you ever' know that? They never fall on their sides where it would hurt like every thing, the way 'we , would most likely. fail. No, they never do. Well, when she plunked down right beside Mamma Lady she didn't run either, No, she knew ' Rover wouldn't run "after her again if Mamma Lady was there, se she: Just waited until. Mamma Lady picked her up, and took her into the house. But Fluffy got back at Rover after a few days for running after her like that. She wasn't quite so afraid 01 him now when he'd come in the house, This is what she did: You see, when Rover is glad he wags his big tall, which is his way of Baying he is hap- py. Well, when he came in one day feeling awfully good and wagging his brushy tall like a good fellow, Fluffy was behind him and she started to play with it. Ho was so surprised and stopped and looked -round at her, But Fluffy knew he 'couldn't come after her with Billy around. She just. hid until he stopped- looking: at -her and as soon as he wagged it again she grab- bed it again, and the only way he could keep Fluffy from pulling at his long stair was to keep it real still, and such a funny look came into his brown. eyos, Ile didn't like standing still when' he was feeling glad and not be able to wag his tail. Do you know, he had to ga off in a corner if he wanted to wag his tail in comfort. Fluffy was pretty smart that time, don't you think? But . -I wonder what Jimmie Chick and the three little chick sis- ters have been doing all this time. We're going to find out next issue. • Mrs, Brown: "You used to call me your turtle dove."

THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN, 18: 9-14, I, THE PARABLE OP THE UNJUST JUDGE, 18: 1-8, The point of the parable is to show that Christians are to pray "at, all times" (that is, even when their prey - ere" seem rayere'seenm not to be answered) and not to faint .or give up in despair. The j"dge in the story is perhaps a local magistrate, or me of the two regular polipe-court magistrates in Jerusalem, who, because they sat continuously, wore paid out of the Temple treasury. There are various references to the "ignorance, arbitrariness and covet- ousness" of such incur In v. 6 a very strong expressi, n is used, "lest in she end she come and give me a black eye, but perhaps this is not meant literally.: For some reason or other the un- just judge does not want to right, the woman's wrong, bat in the end be- cause of her importunity he listens to her, thinking it will on the whole he less bother to him to be rid of her. We must not understand by the par- able that God, who otherwise would not trouble to answer our prayers, will in the end answer them if we bother him enough. God does not an - ewer our prayers because of our im- portunity, but we are to go on asking him without even despairing, because we know he will answer our prayers: This is another instance of the "how much more" argument which Jesus so often employed in his teaching.. about God; if 'even an unjust judge in the end will listen to prayers, how mu'h more shall God, who loves his children. in the end (in his own good time) an- swer their prayers! By "avenging his elect" we are pre- sumably to understand she deliver- ance, vindication and justification of those who have been faithful through trial and persecution. The parable, as we have it, seems to deal in gen- eral with the questio-t of prayers that seem to be .unanswered, and in par- ticular with the sufferings and trials of the -Church between the death of Jesus and his eagerly expected re- turn. Let the persecuted Church take heart: God will speedily "avenge his elect," It is not clear whether the secund part of v. 8 is a saying of Jesus or a comment by the evangelist. "When the So., of Mau comes, will he find" (not "faith" but) "the faith on elle earth?/e The words "the faith" seem naturally to mean "true Christianity," and it is perhaps right to suppose that the words are the comment of some disheartened Church leader, who does not doubt hat soon Christ will come, but who is gravely discdieted about tL state of the Church. In any case, the point of the parable seems to be this: your prayers for deliverance seem not to be -answered; you are doubting whether God will do his Dart, but the real question is whether you will do yours; of course God will vindicate his elect, hut aro you sure that you will be found numbered among the elect? II. THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN, 18: 9-14, Self-righteousness is the subject of this story. The public and official worship of the Temple was almost ex - elusively sacrificial; but the Temple c iurts, it would seem, were also used for private, prayer. It is difficult to see how far the "prayer" of the Pharisee may properly be called a prayer a`• all; he gives thanks to God for the blessedness >f his condition, tut the impression is left with us that the Pharisee is not so much grateful to God for the gifts of God's grace as he is boasting before God of itis own attainments. He as -lone more than the Law requires; he has fasted on Mondays and Thursday (the Chris- tians, to be different, chose Wednes- days and Fridays for their fasts) ; he has paid tithes, no: only on his pro- duce; as the Law required. but on the whole of his income; he has avoided the open sins of the worldling. A. not dissimilar prayer of a rabbi has come clown to us: "I thank thee, 0 Lord my (lou, that thou hast put my part with those who sit in the Academy, and not with those who (like money -changers n.nri traders) sit at the corners. For I rise eerie!. and they Hee early: I flee early to the words of fhe Law, and they to vain things; T labor and they labor: I labor and receive a reward: they labor and receive no reward; I rein and they run; I run to the life of the world to come, and they to the pit on my desk. ..What New York.

What is meant by saying that die publican is justified rather than the other? "Justified" is strictly a term taken from the law courts and means "acquitted." It applies here that all then are sinful in God's eyes, and all must pray, "forgive us our tres- passes," but that "a broken and con - rite heart" is more acceptable to God than a proud and self-satisfied right- ecusness. Humility is the right atti- tude of man before God, and the son - ship to which we are called is not an easy and lighthearted cotnpaniolsitip and familiarity.

Short Hours and One Job Offered As Solution Berlin—The commission appointed by the Chancellor, Dr, Heinrich Bruning, to study Germany's unem- ployment problem, suggested two -partial solutions—general shortening of working hours and prohibition of civil servants engaging in side jobs. The commission headed by the former Minister of Labor, Heinrich Brauns, believed that shortening of working hours would afford an 09- portuuity for at least part time work to many who now are without jobs. The commission recommended that where Industries proved recalcitrant to the plan the Government be em- powered to fix the itours of work. Tito commission urged also that alt civil servants be prohibited from accepting remunerative jobs outside , their regular civil service. Waiter: "And how did. you 1114 t to beef, eir?"

Of the house where she was born she had little to say save that James Iiarris, a clergyman who had received his training at one of the English universities, hat many "books, She remembered these books and an atmosphere of beauty, but the details of the picture were gone. There were memories of the high hedges that bordered the road the men wito doffed their caps, tits women with high -crowned hats worn over showy kerchiefs who curtsied as Grandmother Harris passed by.

A dash of rale against the window always brought back the picture in atter- life, and for her little daughter, Elizabeth re. constructed the scene. She described herself sitting en the windowseat, struggling with foul sticky and refractory needles with which site must knit ten rounds on her stocking. The long room with the dark paneling on its walls, the flreplace where the rain falling down the chimney throat softly spat on the glowing coals, the three windows with the rain -blurred panes, were the background for her grandmother's figure in the arm -chair, a tall woman, 'made taller still by her towering cap. Mrs. Harris, Elizabeth ex- plained to the child, looped with dis- favor on the changing fashions of the Regency, holding that their sugges tions of the actual female figure were signs of that unrestraint which had brought France to ruin, and she not only wore full skirts and cross- ed kerchief herself, but she dressed her granddaughters in volumiuous defiance of a licentious age.
