"A portion of a moment. It is all done by a spark, I think. The fire is lighted from that spark. Sometimes, most often in fact, the fire needs to be nursed and replenished; sometimes—and here I speak of great loves—the fire, untended and unfed except by dreams, burns on alt through one's life."

"Then you cannot fail, Meridel." * 5 * The too -short, holidays and the great feast of New Year's passed on into the steady merciless cokl of the iron months of January and February. Life went on evenly enough at Phillbert. Although Roger had gone, Meridel and the children did not return to the city when vacation ended, and Ru- dolph spent most of his time at the mansion that be had, from long pre- tense of ownership, conte to look upon rather as the place where he belonged. Meridel stayed because -- madame needed her now and the children could have good schooling from Miss Carrick and the other teachers whom the government had provided. * Roger was still in England. Nev- er a great one to write letters, he contented himself now with the odd cable, a verbal message entrusted to some homing associate in the Air Force, a few lines on a post- card, a letter or two to Merideh One she received in February said. "I hope to be with you soon.

Clarke • • • • That big event of the season in every farm woman's life has come and gone—at least the first halt of it has. I mean the threshing. You know, it's a funny tiling, you would think one threshing would be much like another—ibnt it isn't. The troubles you get into last time don't happen this time, but, as sure as anything some new troubles arise that you had never even thought of. That's the way it was with me last Wednesday. With niece Betty to help I thought I need have no worry at all, in fact I was so confident that I of- fered to serve supper for a bach- elor neighbour's threshing which followed our own. Everything was coming along fine that morning. The meat was already cooked from the night before; there were scal- loped potatoes babbling away in the oilstove oyen; pies all made and ail the other little extras ar- ranged for. I•Iowever, when I began thinking about supper I was a little afraid there Wright not be enough cold meat left over to go around, and, it being early closing day I was afraid to take any chances. So Betty and I took our- selves to town for supplementary moat supplies. * w It was eleven -thirty when we returned -and the oil -stove had burnt itself out! Yes, completely burnt out, even though I had fill- ed the reservoir the night betore, Our burners use specially treated wicks and 17 by some uuluclty chance the stove runs dry it is an awfully long time before they can 'be persuaded to burn ,properly again. It just seems impossible to hurry them. I was just about tram tic. The potatoes were cooked but not browned. The tea kettle wasn't even hot. I tried trimming the wicks—one decided to light up, the other two wouldn't. Had I any 4858 SIZES 14-20 32-42 You'll be so nice to conte honk to in this simple -to -sew frock.

Size, Name, Address, Styfe Number, new wicks in the house? For the life of me I couldn't remember. A hurried search revealed just one. I yanked one old one out and put the new one In. And:then the darn thing wouldn't turn up. At long last I won out. And then Bob came along and said the men wouldn't be in until twelve -thirty. It was like a reprieve. I gave a great sigh of thanksgiving and relaxed. Five minutes later Betty came in from the barn and said the men bad changed their minds — they were not going to finish the mow and would be in at 110011. They came . . . dinner was actually ready ... they ate and were filled —I hope . they retired — and left me as limp as a fresh wet wash. • 5 Sapper wasn't too bad except for the fact that, with the threshing machine across tete road I had no means of knowing when it stop- ped . . and the amen arrived for supper ten minutes ahead of time. More rush! .After supper, just about the time we were clearing the table, Betty took a violent headache.- probably from the dust when rho visited the barn, So I sent her to beet and did the dishes myself. At nine-thiry I shortened the table, collected the towels and table- cloths, and called it a day. And of course it was not only I who was tired. The men were not only tired but they were red- eye(' and coughing as well—and another threshing in view for the next day. However. as I said before, tho- threshing is all over again until next time—and we will worry about that when we have to—but I can aastuee yon that when we do thresh again I shall be making suvo my oil stove doesn't ram dry again. And speaking of oilstoves—are you one of the many who has trouble in baking with a coaloil oven? Do your pies and cookies burn on the bottom and refuse to get brown on the top? That is what I have been up against for years, even though l have the top of tate oven well covered with cat- alogues. A few weeks I tried an- other stunt: 7 took a large piece of asbestos, doubted it, and then laid it across the bottom of the oven leaving enough room at eith- er end for the heat to circulate. The result was better even than 1 had hoped for. Pies no longer burs on the bottom and I can now leave them in long enough to get nicely browned on the top. Well, out little loam Tippy thinks I have 'been writing long enough. He just came along and put both paws on my shoulders indicating he has an idea it is just about supper time for him. Poor Tippy Betty tools: film for a tramp in the bush this afternoon and his ears, neck and tail are all stuck u'P with burrs. "Alli- right then, Tippy . . come on, we'll go and hunt you some supper." "Fill 'er Up"! A motorist drove info a filling station and exultantly told an at- tendant to "fill 'er up," The attendant complied, As the motorist drove away,, the .hill gas tank, unused to the strain, dropped to the pavcinent. THE POCK C TO ACC How Can 1? ely Anne Ashley Q. How can I make a substitute cedar closet? A, If there is no cedar closet/ in the house, wipe the shelves and the woodwork of the clothes closet with cedar oil when cleaning. This process should be repeated from time to time. Q. H.av can I test the healthful part of mushrooms? A. By stirring while cooking with a silver spoon. If there is any foreign substance in the mush- rooms, the silver will turn. Q. What can I use as a snbsti- tute for vinegar, for salad dress- ing? A. Try using the vinegar from preserved pickles, instead of ordi- nary vinegar, for salad dressing; it gives a delicious flavor. Lemon juice is also an excellent substitute for vinegar. Q. How can I give a nice gloss to straw matting? A. Apply a thin coat of colorless varnish and it will add life to the straw matting.
