Among the minor tragedies of the
War the degradation which has come
,to the English greenhouse is not to be
overlooked.. The winter gardens of
the privileged gentry and nobility are
confronted with the humiliation of
their long and pampered existence.
The scores and hundreds of varieties
of tropical plants, the orange and the
lemon trees which have maintained a
precarious existence within the small
confines of a simulated hot zone, have
come upon an evil day. No more will
the delicate ferns be nurtured through
an uncertain life in the greeneries.

the contest with the unfriendly fogs
of the North Sea. Their doom is at
hand.
In place of the poinsettia which
yielded its rich reds for the dark win-
ter, in lieu of the fragrant lilies which
threw out thier luxurious redolence
in a region given over to smoke, in-
stead of the gay blossoms which main-
tained the pretense of a southern
clime, the hardy tuber will arise. The
Irish potato, the tough growth of the
poor man's plot or the profitable pro-
duction of the truck farmer, is the

A LETTER
CAN YOU WRITE ONE?
Thirteen Prizes to be Awarded
in a Letter Writing
Competition.
Some years ago the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., of Brockville, Ont„ of-
fered a series of prizes to residents
of Ontario for the best letters des-
cribing cures wrought by the use of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. Hundreds of letters were
submitted in this competition, and
yet there must have been thousands
of other users of the pills who did
not avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to win a prize. To all these
another letter writing competition is
offered. Thousands of cures through
the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
have never been reported. These will
furnish the material for the letter to
be. written in this contest. There is
no demand upon the imagination;
every letter must deal with facts and
facts only.
The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., of
Without indulgence in the false
teeth of looking lightly at serious af-
fairs, surely there is occasion here
for April's tears. Contemplate the
old gardener who has ministered as a
child's nurse to the necessities of a
gossamery orchid. Think of the
skilled florist whose whole life has
been spent upon serving the vagaries
of a filmy flower of the Orient. Can
urgency do worse than condemn him
to the cultivation of early potatoes
with their inevitable bugs and paris
green?
Or, if sympathy for the orchid
nurses fail, consider the young officer
on furlough. Picture his wandering
with the lovely maiden of his desire
into the old conservatory. Where
masses of green leaves rnd luxurious
colors once were wont to create a back-
ground for the eternal young dream
only the practical tubers will appear.
So modern war deals with romance.
Winter Soups.
Some one has said that there are as
many soups as there are days .in the.
'only a vee y small number of tecerit a
pear on. the dining table of ;the avers
age family. Among the following
receipts are some that are little
known, but they are especially ap-
petizing on cold winter. evenings,
when a hot, rich soup seems the most
appropriate beginning for a meal.
French Onion Soup.—Chop two med-
ium-sized onions, and fry them to a
rich brown in two ounces of butter over
a moderate fire, for onions burn quick-
ly. To thein add a quart of boiling
soup stock of any kind, or simply
water or milk, and cubes of lightly
toasted bread. When the soup is
ready to serve, add a little grated
cheese, and season it with salt and
white pepper.
A Flemish Soup.—To two pounds
of washed and picked Brussels sprouts
add ten potatoes, two onions, two
leeks, salt and pepper. Cook all
gently until the vegetables are tender;
then pass them through a sieve. Force
as much of the vegetable pulp through
as possible. Acid one quart of beef
stock and serve the soup very hot.

Pot-au-Feu.—Choose a good-sized
beef bone that has plenty of meat on
it, cover it with water and boil it for
three hours. Remove the bone ands
cut the meat into hits. Let the stock i
mei, then remove the fat, add the meat
to the stock, return it to the fire, add'
one large onion that has had ten whole
cloves inihed.ded in it and has then
been roasted until it is brown, add one I
pint of cooked tomatoes, one half cup-
ful of rice, and one quarter cupful
each of chopped potatoes, carrots:'
and cabbage. Cook the whole until
the vegetables are tender, and add
salt and pepper. Just before you
serve the soup, add one teaspoonful of
white sugar burned to a good brown i
color. That adds to the flavor of the
soup and gives a rich color'.
