Morgan Comfort Rules Horne Parties Buffet suppers have increased in popularity because they're so friend- ly and comfortable and easy on both hostess and guests. Men particular- ly enjoy helping themselves and its interesting to watch them dodge the "greenery" as they describe the bits of parsley and cress that garnish. the supper dishes. But men seem to pre- fer hot dishes -- flaky hot biscuits"' and tender scones, and a generous sliceof delicious cake. Matti a hot casserole main dist or a cold plate, cream scones are delic- ious. They're a credit to any cook made from this carefully tested re- cipe:: CREAM SCONES 2 cups sifted cake flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; a/2 teaspoon salt; 2 teaspoons sugare1-3 cup light eream; '1';52e-s,4eilleieilidaMteereor &Tiershorten- ing; 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind; 2 eggs; 3 tablespoons sugar; 1/2 tea- spoon grated lemon rind.

"Two such eases have occurred re- cently," This Week's Winners EUREKA SCALLOP — If your fa- mily have any pet aversion, it is bet- ter to omit that from the "Eureka Scallop," but we like everything ed- ible here, (and plenty of it,) so I in- clude the various vegetables that the larder happens to contain at the par- ticular time which I wish to make a one -dish meal. The only exception I man is in omitting tomatoes, — leave them to combine with other things some other time. The main feature is potatoes: the crumbs, (craeker crumbs are prefer- red, but bread crumbs will answer, and, if necessary, flour may be sub- stituted,) will be required to sprinkle between layers, salt, pepper, bits. of butter, too, will be required between layers, while slices of meat may be placed over the top to re -heat with the rest, though, if preferred, neat slices of cold meat may accompany this dish. To prepare the "Eureka Scallop," butter a baking dish, sprinkle the bot- tom with crumbs, place a layer of potatoes, then crumbs and seasonings and next a layer of sliced carrots, and more crumbs and seasoning; then po- tatoes again, crumbs and seasoning; next say cooked cabbage, and ad on until the baking dish is nearly full — parsnips, diced turnip, beans, peas, just whatever the family will relish. Instead of cooked onions, we seem. to like bits of raw onion clipped amongst the cooked vegetables; usually I have the potatoes at the top, then add the slices of meat arranged neatly, and fill the dish almost full of milk — to hasten the process of cooking, hot milk may be utilized; another way to hasten the preparation is to place the dish in a steamer over hot water till well heated through, then finish by baking. This is frequently our Sunday dish, and is never placed in the oven at all but left in the steamer to re- tain its heat until our return from church. — Mrs. Louise Towrise, of Athens, Ontario.

The French get all kinds of chic into the very simplest of thing's, when it comes to clothes. Here's the popular Princess Elizabeth model. It is full skirt- ed with brief fitted bodice. Its collar has gift gathers—and what e a cute effect. The puffed sleeves are such a darling fashion for chubby arms. This little frock (with its ac- .conapanying knickers) is charm- ing in cotton materials with may- be a contrasting bind or a tiny edging on collarless and sleeveless version, that adds a pocket. The knickers, by the way, are cut up at the sides type, so neat and wearable for small people.. Style No. 2830 is designed for sizes 2, 4 and 6 years. Size 4 requires lyi, yards of 35 -inch material, with 7-8 yard of 35 -inch material for panties and 51/e yards of binding for sleeveless dress; dress with contrasting col- lar requires 2 yards of 39 -inch material with a's yard of 35 -inch contrasting.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The conversion of Zacchaeus and the teaching of the parable that follows, took place during the month of March, A.D. 30; the triumphal entry into Jexusalem occurred on Sunday, April 2, A.D. 30; and the second purification of the temple occurred on the next day, April 3. Place—The city of Jericho wit- nessed the conversion of Zacchaeus and the teaching of the parable of .the ten pounds; the events occurring in the triumphal entry of Christ in- to Jerusalem are to be located on the Mount of Olives and the road leading therefrom to the city of Jerusalem, near which Christ wept for its coming doom. The last four verses of 'the chapter describe events taking place in the temple in the city of Jerusalem. "And he entered and was passing through. Jericho. And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus." The name Zacchaeus means pure. "And he was a chief publican," This is, un- doubtedly, an official title, and means that he was, in our language, a com- missioner of taxes. "And he was rich." The age of Jesus was not the last age in which public officials grew wealthy as servants of the government, nor was the ancient Roman Empire the only sphere in which such was possible, "And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little . of stature." There is in the minds of people, generally, a very great reverence for any eminent servant of God, and, when he makes his appearance in any place, men crowd to hear him, not out of curiosity altogether, but, with a sort of dim desire and hope that he whom God has so blessed to 'others, may also bring some mes- sage to them. "And he ran on before, and climb- ed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way." The tree is probably what is known as a fig -mulberry tree, whose fruit is like the fig and whose leaf is like the mulberry, It is something similar to the English oak, and its shade is most pleasing. "And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said uuto him; Zacchaeus, make haste, and tome down; for today I must abide aoaiebe motiveZacehaeus' which at thy house." Jesus invites himself t sgues hadtspO withthe am, p him to beg Water of the Samaritan woman (John 4 : 7), that he might win his way into the man's heart. "And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully." One can hardly exaggerate ,the as- tonishment, joy, and wonder crowd- ing the heart of Zacchaeus in this' most epochal hour of his life. "And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner." The all is very significant as show- ing how deep-seated was the national feeling, which, because it was un- worthy, our Lord, at the very zenith of his earthly popularity, thus un- flinchingly braved. "And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor." By this, he meant, of course, that one- half of his income he would bestow upon the poor. "And if I have wrong- fully exacted aught of any 'man, I restore fourfold." The restoring of goods falsely obtained in this four- foldway, was almost the extreme penalty imposed by the law, when a man was compelled to make repar- ation for a deliberate act of des- tructive robbery (Ex. 22 : 1; 2 Sam. 12 : 6). "And Jests said unto him, Today is salvation come to this house, for- asmuch as he also is a son of Abra- ham." How low Zacchaeus was in the moral scale and yet how high he rose! "For the Son of man." This is Chist's favorite title for himself, one which he uses about eighty times in the Gospel. It pointed him out as the representative man (1 Cor. 15 45, 47. "Came to seek and to save that which was lost." To be lost is to wander and to miss the true way of human life; to go off the track and get where the true path is no more visible, the consequence being that the true end of human life is not reached. "And he entered into the temple." It is only from the record in I'ilark (II 12-17) that we discover that this second cleansing of the temple (for the first cleansing, see John 2 : 14-22) occurred, not on Sunday, as Luke's narrative would imply, but does not assert, but, rather, on the following day, Monday. "And began to cast out them that sold." Inas- much as every true Jew was expect- ed to come up to Jerusalem at least W.F. once a year to offer sacrifices in the temple,' most of which, being animal sacrifices'were purchased within the temple precincts; or immediate ly near by, and, inasmuch as every Jew over twenty years of age was bound by the law to pay a half - shekel into the treasury vehetnevee the elation was numbered, a tribute that had to be paid in the exact half - shekel, demanding an exchange of money when Jews came from other countries, one can imagine how UR* scrupulous men would take advent - age of loyal Jews, and what an awful din and confusion must have prevail- ed in the temple, making it MOM like a market -place or an office for collecting government taxes than a place where God was to be eeorship- ped. "Saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a howof prayer." Every church, eve, more than the temple, should be consider- ed as the house of God and a house of prayer. "But ye have made it a den of robbers." Literally, a brig- ands' cave, of which our Lord had seen many. "And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief. priesta and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him." A principal man is a man who has great influence and is able to lead others to do what he thinks is right. "And. they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung - upon him, listening," The chapter closes with a most remark- able statement, when it informs ne that all the people, that is, the entire nation as a whole, actually hung upon the words of ,Tesus; hanged on him as the bee doth the flower.
