Off the kitchen on one sido• was a tiny bathroom; on the other side a dark bedroom with a double couch and a single bed In it sor"ed as merely a wide passage to the third and last room, where there were a couch, a radio, a phonograph, tapestry cushions, Nottingham lace curtains, and other evidences testi- fying to it's character as the por- for, of tate suite. Mary Carscadden, now cooking din- ner, had, in defiance of all theories of housing, budgeting, and the bear- ing of young, brought seven children into the world in these dark three rooms and had raised five of them. How it had been done, how she had weathered widowhood, the children's illnesses, poverty, cold, ignorance; from whence their thousand • sand heals apiece per annum had come, she knew as little as the mice that hid behind her woodbox, or the dirty dotes that came 'to her sooty fire - escape for crumbs every morning. Her anxieties had rarely gone ahead farther than the next meal, the next month's twenty-seven and a half dol- lars for rent. - During the war the rent had jumped to forty-two dollars, and Joe and Margaret, ;mere children, had gone stanchly to work to help Ma- rna. But now the rent was lower than it had ever been, and Margaret and the second son, Neely, were both married, and times were different. The broad, flushed face that was turned with a smile to welcome Sheila 'had no wrinkles in it, the teeth were still white. "It's a terrible night, isn't it?" she said. "Awful!' Sheila agreed. Her nothe. made the tut -tutting sound that was her contribution to every conversation, soon or late. Cheerful and brave; she yet found much in life to deplore. She Turned back to the stove. A. black -haired young man was buried in a newspaper at the table. Sheila's brother .J"oo She addressed him: "Aren't yogi ilome early, Joe?" Her mother caught her attention. by p waving hand, signaled silence. "Leave him bel" her Ups said soundlessly. Sheila raised her dark eyebrow, • With no further weld', but with an elaborately ' bewildered expression, went into the Middle room, added her hat and coat to the general conges- tion there, and returned to the kit- chen, moving her tired forehead and her silky hair with ten firmly press- ed fingers. She sank into a chair 'at the table. Plates, pepper and salt, spoons and forks had been languidly distributed here and there; the mother •lone- diately put on a large teapot. But- ter appeared, and cream,' thick and yellow, occupying two thirds of a crusted and streaked bottle, "Como on, Joe!" Sheila said sud- denly; "let's eat!" Her sister Angela, seventeen and delicate, came limping in just before they began, and smiled at Sheila as she slipped into her chair. Angela had been a "pcsthuntious" child, ac- cording to her mother; she had been born in the very centre of the infan- tile paralysis panic, war clouds had gathered about her fatherless little downy head. But Angela radiated sweetness, happiness, content. "I've been over at. Mrs, Burke's" she explained to Sheila. "Expectin' company!" the mother added, with deep significance, and a warning glance at the absorbed Joe. "Already!" Sheila exclaimed, pour ing tea. "I thought it wasn't until next month. Poor thing . . " Joe put aside his paper, was Laud denly with then. His face was dark. "Joe," Angela said, pushing his cup toward him, "why don't you try Ragan's again? They liked you, when you substituted there threeyears ago." "Ragan's shut dawn; I was 'mind there this 'afternoon," Joe answered. Nobody ever spoke roughly to Ange la, but he spoke surlily enough, with- out looking up. Sheila sent a wide-eyed glance about the circle, nodded; Joe had been fired, eh? Joe—the incomparable one "What do you know?' she asked, "I was fired this afternon,e too!" Sud- denly she didn't care. Let the skies fall! (To be Continued) The Versatile Egg Everyone knows that eggs are one of the most nourishing of foods, but how many cooks- serve then, over and over, in the same uninspired ways! Boiled, fried and scrambled, eggs are set before us again and again— which is a pity because there are so many less common and far more tempting ways of preparing then. The three egg ,dishes for which re- cipes are given today are equally suitable for breakfast, luncheon or informal suppers. Little Egg Dish For Two 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon flour, 3-4 cup milk, 1-2 cup cheese, 2 eggs. In a saucepan melt the butter, add the flour then blend in the milk. Adel salt and pepper to taste. Next add the cheese cut in quite s,nall pieces and stir until the cheese has 'completely melted. Put this rich, crearny sauce in well -buttered ramekins or individual baking dishes. Carefully drop 1 egg in each dish in the centre of the sauce, being sure not to break the yolk. Set the dish in a moderate oven and bake for about 5 minutes, until the egg has set. This little dish is excellent for a simple luncheon. Scramble Egg Soubise for Two 1-2 cup minced onion, 2 eggs, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 18 teaspoon pepper, 1-i cup milk, 1 tablespoon butter. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and fry to a golden yellow. Add the milk and then the well -beaten eggs, the salt and pep- per. Be sure the fire is low, cook, stirring with a fork until the eggs have set. Serve at once. Very, very good. After all, this is nothing but scrambled eggs with onion. "Sou- bise" on a menu means that the dish contains onions. Scrambled Eggs With Mushrooms 1-2 cup undiluted mushroom soup, 1-4 cup warm water, 4 eggs, bacon. Blend the mushroom soup the (the canned variety is fine for this) with the warn water. Add the 4 eggs beaten until they are light. Add pep- per and salt. Serve with crisp slices of bacon. TI -IIS WEEK'S WINNERS Date and Raisin Cake 1 cup raisins, 1 cup dates, 1 tea- spoon soda, over this pour 1 cup boil- ing water and let cool. Make a bat- ter of 2 eggs, 1 cup white sugar, 1-2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon baking pow- der, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 cups flour. Add all together and bake. — Mrs. Sam Croft, Flesherton, Ont. ATTENTION !

Trine of the United States Army and his bride of a week, both of Syracuse, N.Y., sailed yesterday for Little Talbot, uninhabited island off the northeastern Florida coast, where they plan to "go native' 'for 10 days. Undaunted by tales of snakes and bears on the island, they pointed to a ` pistol among their equipment, which included only bare necssities, Mrs. Prime said the adventure was her idea. "Just think of it," she said, "Ten days on a lone island without having to worry whether or not a war will break out in Europe, what the stock market is doing or anything else." Child Learned To Speak To Empty Seats WINNIPEG, — An interview in the Tribune with Miss Beatrice 13rigden, unsucessful Co-operative Common- wealth Federation candidate for Win- nipeg in the Manitoba election, snows that in Napinka. where she lived as a child, she beau public speaking early. The Brigdens lived across the road from the little village church. Beatrice went there week -days and declaimed to the empty pews crammed tight with listeners in her mind's eye. "Now when I've had to address empty ben- ehes in campaign meets, it doesn't dis-, Curb me." The family moved east for, a time, the girls going- to Albert College, in Belleville, the Methodist institution where Beatrice took an art course. At Brandon Ciii.ege, for her B. A. degree, history and English became Miss Brig - den's two specialties. But sociology and political economy she chose, too, because she then knew what she had wanted tt do with her life. Social ser- vice study at Toronto followed while she was officially enrolled as a stud- ent at the .Toronto Conservatory of Public Expression.

The whole world has heard of the reindeer trek from the Napak- tolik mountains in Kotzebue Sound region. in Alaska to Kiittigazui, on the east bank of the Mackenzie River. It is generally known, however, that Erling Porsild, now a naturar- ized Canadian, carried out grazing surveys in the North West' Terri- terries which established the feasi- bility of the drive. When it was initiated he was placed in charge of what has been termed one of the most remarkable Arctic sagas yet known. Modest and unassuming he received recognition that is dearer to the heart' of - the scientist than gold when he was called upon to address the Royal Geographical Society in London, His subject was "A Four -Year Trail from Alaska to the Mackenzie Delta." It is a plain unvarnished tale which through its sheer simplicity com- mands attention and respect especial- ly 'from those who even have faint pretensions to inclusions in the Arc- tic brotherhood. Ten years ago the writer was af- forded an opportunity that pernaps comes only once in a lifetime. He was selected to accompany a Can- adian Government Arctic Expedition as historian. Godhaven was the first port of call. While the proverbial Hospitality of the Danish residents was being ex- tended he had the pleasure of meet- ing Dr. Porsild and members of his family. He -remembers vividly the grave kindly gentleman with the graying hair and beard who is affec- tionately known through North Greenland as "Dad" and to the Es- kimo as "Naussohssiortoq"—the gatherer of plants. With the Canadian Expedition as 'botanist was the• late Dr. M. 0. Melte, of Ottawa, life-long friend of Dr. Porsild. Long before leaving the Dominion the distinguished Geo- logical Survey official had planned details of the reunion and it is doubtful if anyone could have enjoy- ed the meeting more, Today the great-hearted Dr. Malte is doubtless gathering specimens of plants and flowers in some sought-after Valhal- la of the botonist, for a future world which restricted his activities as a collector and classifier would be un- bearable. One of the highlights of a Green- land visit was a journey to the sta- tion established by Dr. Porsild. The nnain building is a two-storey frame structure (they are rare in this Arc- tic Utopia). It, contained an Arctic library of 15,000 volumes, a large and well-equipped laboratory and a unique Arctic herbarium numbering 11 over 50;000 sheets of plants. An astrtinomical and a seismographical observatory is also provided. Issue No. 39 -- '36 D-2 Why did Dr. Porsild go to such an out-of-the-way spot to carry out his life work? The answer is that he. was the first to realize the possibilities the Danish colony held as the setting for an Arctic laboratory for scien- tific purposes. In Greenland today conditions pre vail similar to those that existed in: North America and Europe during' the great ice age. Covering an area' of 800,000 square miles Greenland is the largest island in the world but of this area but one-seventh is free of ice while the remaining six-. sevenths are covered by an ice -cap which in places is thought to be 4,000 feet thick. en Poko©S Clog and arrl tate Bladder, Flush Thec-n Out For 35 Cents Go to your druggist to -clay and get this safe, swift and harmless diuretic; and stimulant — ask for Gold Med'ali Haarlem Oil Capsules and start at once to flush kidneys of waste matter sat- urated with acids and poisons.
