Middle place on my cast, and it was
vital point. But Rafael liked to tel
a story, and had come by now to a
confidence in my liking to hear him
He flashed a glance to gather up my
attention, and cleared his throat and
began: "Dat was one time—I go 0

Rafael's chuckle was an amen to his
saga, and at once, with one of his
lightning chana'es, he was austere.
"M'cieur go need beeg trout to-

In the making of the pastry such fats

For children under ten the cream
soups are perhaps a miser 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, because one
quart of milk yields as 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-

thesis and its specifications. Then
the fire of his ancient fighting blood
blazed through restraint of manner,
He drew up his tall figure, slim -waist-
ed, deep -shouldered, every inch slid-
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 time. But if time
come 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 in his hand
so that I 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 coun-
try turned out now by tens of thou-
sands. With that he returned and as
I looked up into his face, behold it

"Dave!" he cried out, "Old Davy

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 clewed me about and presented me
to the three others. ,
In a minute I was installed, to the
pride of my friend the head waiter,

movement and has for its Inspiration
that better life for the people that
has been promised and prophesied as
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 an.
oomplislied 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•
Untie 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 of 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 lines
by Mr. Thomas Adams, Housing and
Town Planning Adviser to the Com-
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 $600.
The applications for lots at Linden -
lea have exceeded the number avail-
able, and there is practical atstuance
that the sites of the Purkclale estate
will all be allotted within a very short
time. Tho estates contain many beau-
tiful trees which have all been plot-
ted. and most of them will be pre-
served for the adornment of the new
settlements.
Encourage Community Spirit.
On the Lindenlen property a wind.
1g boulevard has been planned to
tersest the grounds, which will cotn-
mend many beautiful views. Pro
ision has been made for tpnnle
ourts, bowling green, chilth•en's play -
round and wading pool, sites for cam -
unity hall and public garage, and. --
e residential streets have been plan-
ed. to discourage through traffic, so
s to ensure additional safety tot'
Waren and preserve quiet and home-
ke amenities for the householders.
No lot will have less than a thirty-
otfrontage, and In these cases sentl-
etached houses will be encouraged
economize space for garden pur-
ses, The 'rouses Will be arranged
der Mr, Adapts' supervision, with a
ew to architectural harmony and to
r'eeable aspect and prospect, and
itch will be done to encourage a
vilized community spirit lot the social
ganization of the estates.
The development of the garden Bub-
b in the capital City will have the''
vious advantage that represonta-
yes from the cities of the Dominion
leo have frequent occasions to visit
