And especially does the country woman feel that she is being consistent when she serves some sort of delicious pie to top her country dinner. So, since puddings and ices have .taken the privilege of dressing up, why not make a pie de luxe? Snow Apple Pie.—Make a short crust of a fine grade of pastry flour, an almost equal quantity of pure lard and just enough water, chilled, to make a paste. A pinch of salt adds to the flavor and some like to use a quarter teaspoonful of baking powder to each two cupfuls of flour, but it is not necessary. Do not reroll the crust; work quickly and have the oven a medium heat—hot enough to bake the bottom crust before it soaks the filling. Then reduce the heat a little if it is a fruit pie or a custard and allow to bake slowly. Choose tart apples and slice thinly.' Lay in the crust, sprinkle with sugar and a little nutmeg and bake slowly without a top. Cool and serve with whipped cream upon each section. Latticed Sponge Pie.—Fill a shell with a carefully made custard in which the yolks have been beaten into the sugar until they are well blended —two eggs to a pie and half a cupful of sugar. Add the flavoring and milk and fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites at the last. Lattice the top with strips of dough and bake slowly. When cool serve with pieces of cur- rant jelly scattered over the top. Double Fruit Pie. --Roll the lower crust as usual, filling the pan only half full of spiced apples. Season with' spices and sugar. Roll another crust' as thin as can be handled; lay .over the top and fill the pie pan up with chopped dates which have marinated -in lemon juice and sugar. Top with a crust and bake slowly after the lower crust has browned. Orange Custard Pie.—Wash the rind of an orange and grate very fine, removing the fine white inside mem- brane. Beat three eggs light with half a cupful of sugar and fold in the grated orange. Add two cupfuls of milk slowly, stirring well, and the juice of half an orange. Bake slowly without top crust. Serve cold. Open -Face Raisin - and - Pineap file Pie.—Dice a cupful and a half, of can- ned pineapple, cut up a cupful of seed- less raisins, cover with half a cupful of sugar and allow to stand an hour. Fill a partly baked pie shell, sprinkling a flour -and -sugar mixture over the fruit to absorb some of the juice. Bake slowly fifteen minutes. Banana Pie.—Bake individual pie shells in neeffin tins and cool. Crush sufficient ripe bananas to make four cupfuls. Fold in two stiffly beaten egg whites, half a cupful of sugar dis- solved in half a cupful of lemon juice and a cupful of stiff whipped cream. Chill and fill the pies when served. Deep -Dish Cocoanut Prune Pie.— Line deep saucers or pie tins with crust. Pill with prunes which have been soaked and cooked until tender. Sprinkle with sugar and spread co- coanut, softened in cream, half an inch over the top. Bake very slowly so the cocoanut will not burn. Serve hot or cold. Fig Pie.—Stew dried figs until ten- der, season with nutmeg and a little strained lemon juice. Fill a pie shell quite thick, top with another crust and bake quickly. Serve with cream. do you may never be asked to "oblige" l again. If you would be popular be gener-; ous. The girl of brilliant accomplish- ments who is generous enough to sink herself in accompanying the efforts of others, who will accord them the centre of the stage while they sing or play, and can acknowledge their achievements with a graceful little compliment, is the girl who will ac -1 quire popularity with other women. She will do this, not only because of her accomplishments, which are un doubtedly a great asset in the social sphere, but because she is •generous enough to acknowledge and bow to the artistry of others. In other words—live and let live. SLEEPING BAG FOR BABY. A sleeping -bag, if warm and pretty, is expensive, but an ingenious mother made one that was charming and cost nothing. The sleeves of a white sweater were so worn that the garment had been cast aside. They were ripped out, the arm holes were crocheted together with white yarn and the bottom closed in the same way. The result was a ,decidedly pretty sleeping -bag and when buttoned up the garment kept the restless little hands from getting uncovered while baby took his after- noon nap on the porch.—L. M. T. A PRACTICAL POPULAR SUIT FOR THE SMALL BOY. LIVE AND LET LIVE. If you want to be popular, don't be too anxious to shine. Step out of the limelight and give somebody else a chance. It is all very well to be the life and soul of a party, but this sort of thing can be overdone. The girl who is in- vited to play and sing, and promptly; seats herself on the piano -stool, is go- ing to overshoot the mark if she stays there for the rest of the evening, to. the exclusion of other guests. This is done quite often, but even' the most brilliant performers are apt; to become boring, especially when 'an' anxious hostess is uncomfortably: aware of other stars in the room who' aro not being allowed a chance to sparkle. By all means do your share towards entertaining; and if you are the poss- essor of pleasing "parlor tricke," do your best without an undue amount of fussing. You owe this to your. hostess, and it also gives you a chance to Ali/ .ie.

An; analysis of thegeneral state- ment of assets and liabilities discloses the strong position in which the Bank has placed itself. Total assets now amount to $583,789,509.

Liquid assets of $278,024,739 are equal to 54.5% of liabilities to the public and the largest gain in them is repre- sented by the increase in the value of the different accounts comprising high grade securities; Dominion and Pro- vincial Government securities now stand at $53,039,825, up from $28,783,- 050; Canadian Municipal securities and British, Foreign and Colonial.

Alan was lying slightly on one side, with his face on his arm, and, though breathing peacefully, seemed uncon- scious; at least, his eyes were closed, his face white, and dank drops stood on his brow. • "Alan, Alan, darling! What has happened? she cried, and at the same 'moment laid her hand to his heart to feel whether it was beating still. Re- assured, and hanging distraught over him, she realized that, alone, she could do nothing for him. She sprang up, then, and began to flee down the sloPe towards The Lees, bursting into the house upon the heavy, middle-aged butler, who was dozing peacefully in an easy -chair in the big, wide hall - place, "Ramsay, is your master in the house? Something has happened to my brother! I have just found him lying unconscious' on the Hill. Come to my help, will you? Is your master in?" "I haven't seen him, miss," cried the man, leaping up in consternation, Where is Mr. Alan, do you say?" "Just at the march dyke. You know the spot. Could you get some of the stable men do you think, and some sort of a stretcher, so that we can carry him home?" - "If he is at the march dyke, Miss Judith, would it not be better to bring him here?" asked Ramsay, pausing cautiously at the door. "No, no. We shall take him home: And is there a lad about the stable that would ride a bicycle or a horse into Ayr for Dr. Sanderson?" "I'll see, miss. But will ye no come in, and I'll tell them -my mistress, I mean, and Miss Lucy?" Judy impatiently shook her head. Somehow she felt she had no use at the moment for any member of the household at The Lees; that all she wanted was some material help. "A drop of brandy from* your cup-" board, Ramsay, if you can get it quiet- ly,' and .I will run back, while you bring as many men as you can. You know how tall and heavy my brother, is, and it is important to get him home I as quickly as possible. What can have' happened to hint I don't know! It is terrible, and mysterious as Well." Ramsay, now thoroughly aroused,' lost no time, and was as efficient and• full of forethought even. as Miss Jud' could, desire. - But after she had sped across th'o lawn with the brandy in her hand, he made it his business to climb the stairs in hot haste to find his mistress and acquaint her with the strange tidings just brought. 4947.

I There stood by his bed his sister' Judy, Christy, the old nurse' and Dr. Sanderson from Ayr. He smiled feeb- ly up into Judy's white, drawn face. "Don't look so desperate, old girl!

"Perhaps now you'll have the good-;, fess to say what pranks you've been' up to on Barrassie Hill?" "Not the first time Barassie has seen a prank of yours and mine, Bob -1 bie," answered Alan. "I suppose I fainted away. Nothing to make a fuss `about.. Who found me? And who' brought, me home?" "I found you; and the men from. The Lees carried you home. But what' did it, Alan?"

' "Bobbie, tell her not to ask any more questions," said Alan, fixing im- ploring eyes on the face of his old'I friend and doctor. "I'll tell her lsyt and by." Bobbie Sanderson looked at Judy Rankine with an expression of kind- liness mixed with reverence. He had been so much with her, ' all these months of the old laird's illness, that he had probed all the depths of her sweet nature. All sorts and conditions of women did Bobbie Sanderson meet in the course of the day's work, and in the little inner sanctuary, where thebest were enshrined, Judy Rankine held high place. As for Judy, she felt towards Bob- bie as a brother, and had often told i im how much he had helped her to turn a bright, brave face to the wea- ther.,_ • - i Obeying the glance from Rankine's eyes, Bobbie turned to her now.

His idea' of professional honor He Was Honest But— was silence as of the grave. He had sometimes, even, been silent when he had the right to speak. "Peter Garvock is difficult to deal with, and I was sometimes vexed, Alan, while you've been away, to find him getting so far in at Stair. You'll excuse me speaking so frankly." "I excuse anything in you, Bobbie, for I know what a friend you are," answered Alan warmly. "It had no- thing to do with Stair this time, and I don't know that I have a right yet to tell you. You see, it concerns a third person." Bobbie nodded; but whether he felt enlightened or not, he made no sign. (To be continued.) Here is a little storythat illustrates the awkward position in which honest. men are sometimes placed through be- ing the innocent possessors of spuri- ous coins. It is told by Mr. William T. Ewens in his Thirty Years at Bow Street—the chief police court of Lon- don. A few yearn ago a Bow Street officer had tea in a shop near Somerset House. He received a check from the waitress, but,. being Iost in thought, 'for he had important business on hand„ he left the place without paying' at the desk. He was standing near the door waiting for a bus vhen the cashier tapped him an the shoulder. "You have not paid for your too,` • s4r." Taking Risks. Dentist—"Don't be afraid. You'll be profoundly unconscious while I'm extracting those teeth." Patient—"That's what troubles me, doe. Isn't there some safe place where I can leave my roll before I side of the march dyke, and would e Peter and I have been in grips." I send some of themen to carry him I home." I "All right. Send them," answered, Peter Garvock as he entered his dressing -room and banged the door. More mystified than ever, for it was strange indeed that his master should I receive the news so callously, Ramsay, made haste out to the stables to see whether they were getting ready. From the window of his dressing - room, where he was getting rid of some of the traces of the tussle, peter Get•voek saw leis own stable men -- "Already?" said Bobbie Sanderson, with uplifted brows. He knew more of the inner affairs of Stair than most men, for being completely trusted by the old laird and„his daughter, he had heard many scraps of conversation, and some di- rect statements, which had consider-' ably enlightened him. But Bobbie Sanderson, who had half the secrets of a county at his finger ends, had. never been known to betray the small-' est confidence, nor turn over a word, he -had heard in the course of his day's gas ?" Above Rubies. "Won't you buy this rose?" said the charming flower vendor at a charity bazaar. "I only ask $2." "I ani sorry," said her victim with a courtly bow, "but the price is a little too high." The lady kissed the flower—"and now," she suggested, "perhaps you will buy it." "Madam," said the courtly one, "the rose is now priceless." • Minard's Liniment for the Grippe. ",Good gracious," said the man from Bow Street. "I quite forgot." And he went back and paid his little account, at the same time making many apolo- gies. On the following night he went to the .same shop and had tea again. He was determined that there should be no mistake this time, On placing half a crown on the cashier's desk he said to the young lady,—the same young lady who had interviewed him on the previous evening, -"I am the .•man.. who tried to do you out of the sixpence last night." "Yes, you are," she said with a smile: as she rang the half crown on the desk. But the smile suddenly vanished, and the owner of the coin was trans- fixed with horror. The half crown was bad, palpably bad. It was in vain that its owner pro- tested his innocence. The young lady looked at him freezingly and turned a deaf ear to all his explanations and apologies. Probably she believes to this day that she was deaing with a swindler. • Temple Rolls In Wind.
