THOUGHTS
I spent some time, an hoar or maybe
two,
My thoughts, well, may I pass thein
on to you.
We live and move according to our
mind,
Our lives are happy if our thoughts
are kind.
My thoughts were all of letters sent
to me
From far and near, many from o'er
the sea.
To some of them I could not make
reply,
They dared, they died, brave pilots of
the .sky.
Some came from soldiers, soldiers in
the ]fns
Listening the while to shells and
bullets whine.
Some from sailor boys, searching the
ocean,
Ever alert, and ever in motion.
Letters from nurses, letters from
mothers, for
Anxious for sons, for husbands,
brothers,
Letters I treasure, each one seems a
prayer,
All saying—I thank you for "He Does
Care."
What of today, after paying the price,
What of tomorrow, will they "load the
dice."
What are the thoughts of the big four
today. — will they
The world is trembling
find The Way. •

CONSTANCE
SHOWER HELD FOR
MISS CATHERINE GREENE
A very pleasant evening was
spent at the home of Miss Ada Mae
McLellan, 'Egmondville, on Thurs-
day evening when some friends and
neighbors gathered to honour her
prior to her marriage. After some
community singing and contests
were enjoyed, also a poem ''The
Flowery Romance” was read by Ma's.
Art Little. Kate was then asked to
take the chair which was beautifully
decorated with pink and white
streamers. The following address
was read by Ada Mae McLellan,
After the address was read Mrs. Art
Little and Nylle Doig presented her
with a decorated basket full of
lovely gifts, Kate then made a very
suitable reply thanking them for
their kindness and generosity. After,
singing "For she's a jolly good fel-
low" a delicious lunch was served.
This brought a very enjoyable even-
ing to a close.
Dear Kate; Your girl friends and
neighbors of Egmondville and Sea -
forth have gathered here to -night to
wish you all that one can wish an-
other. We understand that you have
undertaken the serious business of
looking after a man. We would like
to give you a recipe on how to cook
for a husband. A good many hus-
bands are entirely spoiled by mis-
management in cooking and so are
not tender and good. Some women
keep them constantly in hot water,
others freeze them, others put them
in a stew, others roast them, others
keep them constantly in a pickle. It
cannot be supposed that any hus-
band will be good and tender man-'
aged in this way, but they are really.
delicious when properly treated. Be
sure and select him yourself as tastes
differ. Do not go to the market for
him as those brought to the door area
always best. It is far better to have
none, than not to learn how to cook'
him properly. It does not make so
much difference what you cook him
in, as how you cook him. Do not keep
him in a kettle by force, as he will
stay there himself if proper care
taken. If he splutters or fizzes, do
not be anxious, some husbands do
this. Add a little sugar in the foram
of what confectioners call kisses
with no vinegar or pepper on any
account. A little spice improves them
but it must be used with judgment.
Do not try him with anything sharp
to see if he is becoming tender. Stir
gently the while lest he stay too long
in the kettle and become flat and
tasteless. If thus treated you will
find him very digestible, agreeing
nicely with you and he will keep a
long time. This if properly done, we
feel sure will give you wonderful
Now we ask you Kate, to accept
