Breast of Lamb is Inexpensive But Good„ If you are in the habit of using only lamb)chops and leg of lamb you are missing some economical and delicious meals featuring such inexpensive cuts 4s tete breast and shoulder of lamb. Breast of Lamb. Two and one-ltal.f pounds breast of kunb, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 small onion, a medium sized parsnips, 11/4 cups cooked peas, 2 cups milk, 2 table- spoons butter, 2 tablespoons floor, Separate lamb into pieces for serv- ing and put into a casserole with. boil- ing water to cover, Season with salt and onion, peeled but not cut. Cover and cook in a moderate oven for 45 minutes. Add parsuips which have been scraped and cook 45 minutes longer. Drain from broth and ar- range on a hot platter, putting meat in the centre and making a border of parsnips. Melt butter in sauce pan, stir in flour and when bubbling slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Bring to the boiling point and add peas. Pour over lamb and• parsnips. and serve.

Add a dash of paprika over the macaroni for color and serve. Beefstake Universal Favorite. Beefsteak is the one food that Is knowu the world -round, Say the Eng- lish word and waiters in China, Japan, Germany, France and even Russia will know what you mean and bring you their of it. idea . e Filet mignon is the de luxe edition of this universal dish. When you serve it at hone, take time out to make it a food tit for a king! One glamorous way of fixing mig- non is to serve it on sauted circles of pineapple, garnished with dices of sauted green peppers. have your butcher cut your filet mignon from one and a half inches to two inches thick. If you can't go de lure on it, it is better to serve some- thing else. Steak should be thick! it comes in slices, a,nd when cut thick, one is enough for a serving. To prepare the setting for your steak, put one tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and slowly saute one large alic•ed green pepper, or two small ones. Remove pepper dices, when they are canted, to a brown paper and place in your warming oven, which should be kept hot. Then put another table- spoon of butter into the saucepan, and varefully saute your slices of pineapple with the juice drained off. Brown lightly on. both sides. While this is being done, of course, your steak should be broiling. Wardrobe Secrets. A friend of mine, who is very much in demand at all types of parties, has always amazed me by the well-turned outlook she always has. Yet she is one of the busiest people I know. I questioned her the other day, and her tips of how to keep a small wardrobe fresh and ready for any demand are really worthwhile passing on: Joan says she takes off business clothes, as well as shoes, on reaching home; puts shoes on trees, and hangs up •clothes, leaving them to be well - brushed in the morning. On my quer- ying this, she remarked that any mud - spots removed when dry do not stain the material. Once a week she spends a little time over her day -wear, sponging, pressing, and' where necessary clean- ing with a flannel rag and benzine. Every garment has a hanger, even blouses. Her jumpers, however, are kept in a drawer with a roll" of tissue paper twisted inside the top. A stocking box with compartments is for separating best, second best and very -much -mended stockings. In each compartment also is the silk or skein of mending material to match. Gloves are kept in linen sachets which she makes and tissue paper goes between best pairs. A scent sach- et is sewn in the packet, delicately' perfuming the gloves. She has in- vested in glove trees, as with washing gloves this expenditure is well repaid in time. Instead of sending gloves to the cleaners she now buys washing kinds and does them at home. For her delicate dresses Joan has a big cretonne sheet, and this is wrap- ped around the hangers which hold those most likely to be soiled if touch- ed by darker clothes. .A. scent sachet is attached to each hanger, and this again gives just that faint suggestion of perfume which I noticed clinging about Joan's clothes. Joan also has a box where name- tapes, cotton, elastic, different kinds of buttons, a strong needle and thread for sewing are kept. No wonder she always looks neat, Kitchen Kinks. A lump of sugar added to cold tea used for cleaning black walnut or oak furniture will impart a rich and last- ing gloss to the wood. When frying fish, use clarified drip- ping •or salad oil. Lard. smells, and butter fries a bad color. Make a lin bath: M ce For refreshing bag i' s g of cheese cloth or butter muslin. Put into it a handful of wheat bran, a shred of soap, and an ounce of powd- ered or bruised orris root. 'Use this bag as you would •a sponge. It cleanses, soothes and perfumes. , Instead of scrubbing hearth tiles, rub them with floor or furniture polish. They will look much cleaner and take on a splendid polish. Save tobacco ash and use for clean- ing silver or silver plate. Apply with a damp .cloth, and finish. with a soft, dry one. White turnip, well grated anti mix- ed ixed with a little mustard and vinegar, is an excellent substitute for horse- radish. The hest and quickest way to clean badly" stained medicine bottles is to put in a teaspoonful of vinegar then a few grains of rice, and shake well. When rinsed. the bottle will be quite cleau. The secret of broiling steak just right is to have your oven piping hot when you put the steak in. Light • the oven at ,least 15 minutes before you want to cook your steak. This heat helps to sear your steak quickly, which. keeps the juices n and makes it tender. Slow heat spoils the best streak. When all is ready have your plat- ter piling hot, place the pineapple circles carefully and top earh with a peeve of steak. It is necessary to use a deet ref cayenne pepper over the steak, to add. zest. to the combination that the steak makes with the pine- spple. Place the diced pepper around the pineapple, as a garnish; Vacant -Eyed Youth (effusively): Don't you think to be absent-mind- ed Is a terrible affliction?

THE HEART 'OF A CHILD, Mark 10: 13-16. II. TIIE GREAT CHOICE, Mark 10: 17-22, III. THE WEALTHY CHRISTIAN, Mark 10: 28-27. Introduction—Following the teach- ing of last day's lesson, Jesus empha- sized the strenuous demands of his religion, Mark 9: 44-50. The revo- lutionary character of s teaching g is brought out in his argument with the Pharisees, Mark 10, 1-12. The ideal marriage is a permanent bend. Jesus places the two sexes on an equal foot- ing, a hitherto unheard-of thing in the East, I. THE HEART OF A CHILD, Mark 10: 13-16. He then goes on to set up new stan- dards for admission into the Chris- tian fellowship. The blessing of the children shows the young man of thirty cuddling little babies "in the crook of his arm" (the literal mean- ing of "in Ms arms") . It is a gracious picture. Mothers have him "touch" them—or have them touch him. Ital- ian peasants today bring their chil- dren to receive the blessing of a Car- dinal, or to touch the relic of some saint. The disciples. said, "These young- sters are a nuisance, take them away!" These old -minded young .nen would not think much of "Young Wor- shipers' Leagues." "No," said Jesus. "Let them come. It is to such as these that niy kingdom belongs." It is the outlook of the child that is needed in religion. To a child the unseen realities are very real. Words- worth, in his Intimations of Intntor- tality, writes: ... Trailing clouds of giury do we coxae i Fermi, God, who is our home: Heaven. Hes about us in our infancy!

(naming Refrigeration Achievement May Help Solve Scientific Problogns Berkeley, Calif.-0fiteials of the Uni- versity of California announced last week that the coldest man-made tem- perature yet ettained, 459.1 degrees be- low zero F'ahrenhet, had been reached by experimenters at the university. This achivement of, W. F. Giauque, assisted by C. F. Nelson, mechanician, was accomplished by use of a mag- netic cycle process which Prof, Gieu- quo developed. The mark reached is within .25 degree Centigrade of the absolute absence of heat. Experi- menters generally have held attain- ment of practical zero Is essential to solution of numerous scientific prob- lems. Among theories advanced is that the practical absence of heat is necessary as a preliminary to creation of a per- fect ,,vacunm, that new low tempera- tures can be applied to manufacture of a super -steel and that this research will contribute to the study 'or tied etruoture of the atom. The substance cooled by Proffesol Claque was gadolinium sulfate octan hydrate, a compound of gadolinium, a metallic element discovered in 1%80. By ammonia refrigeration and other customary cooling processes Prof Ciouque reached a temperature of about 300.4 degrees below zero Fab.' renlieit, at which point the magnetic cycle begns.. The heat generated by magnetizing and demagnetizing is drawn out of the substance by liquid helium which surrounds it. The sub. stance then is isolated from the heti lum by a high vacuum, The magnetic field is decreased and this acticx fur- ther cools the substance. " Christ must have the throne in our hearts. Not even money, masterful as it is, may usurp that position. If the rich man cannot get in, what about the rest of es? To accomplish it, says Jesus, will be nothing short of a miracle—a miracle of grace, v. 27. "So opposed to current `-dean was such a thought, that the disciples, ac- customed to think that wealth meant happiness, were amazed. If the same doctrine were proclaimed in any great commercial centre today, it would ex- cite no less astonishment. At least, many Christians and others live as ifthe opposite were true. Wealth possessed, and not trusted in, but used aright, may become a help towards eternal life; but wealth as commonly regarded may be a curse." the suggested alternatives). He wouldn't do the things they do." He could not understand his mother's point of view. He knew only that his friend was a nice, good boy. To him, that was enough. Would Jesus agree with him? The child deals with realities all the time—grown-ups, occasionally. The child "receives" the kingdom. He does not try to buy it, because it never occurs to him that he has "won his own way" to success. Ii. THE GREAT CHOICE, Mark 10: 17-22 The new standard is now discussed in its relation to money. The young man wanted to know how he could get the best kind of life. "Jesus, look- ing upon him, loved hint," that is, was very much taken with hint. He halts the inquirer's enthusiasm by telling him that no one is good but God. Jesus refuses to take credit to himself independently of his Father. A Christian saint might say, "Not I, but Christ; so Jesus says, "Not I, but nay Father." The young man had been . accustom- ed to observe the law, but now, dis- satisfied, he feels that there must be swindling higher. Jesus, putting his finger on his weakness, said, "Sell all you have...." The young man lost the' kingdom because he was not will- ing to lose his property for it. Jesus) wanted him, but he wanted him poor. We can sympathize with the disci- ples who could not understand this! This passage does not mean that every wealthy man must give away his wealth when he becomes a Christian. It may be a much more difficult and Christian thing to administer prop- erty wisely than simply to dispose of it. In this man's • case, the love of money seems to have had such a hold on him that to get rid of it was the only remedy. Jesus had no place among his followers for a man who puts property rights ahead of his re- ligion. The young man made his great choice, and went away sorrowing. M. THE WEALTHY CHRISTIAN, Mark 10: 23-27. Jesus says that it is almost im- possible for a rich man to become part of the brotherhood. He had a haunting dread of the deadening pow- er of money in a man's spiritual life. The making of it does not tend to eultivate the qualities that make for brotherhood. Once made, it erects a barrier. It requires a mighty demon- stration of good will to overcome the undue deference, the' diffidence, or the suspicion with which the world so often looks upon a 'rich man, v. 28. This teaching was quite "beyond" the disciples, v. 24. The more money the worshipper had when he went to Je- rusalem to worship, the more splen- did his part"in it would be. But, Jesus went on, not only will it be difficult for a man who puts his money fret, it will be impossible for him to enter the brotherhood. Verse 25, quoting a current proverbial phrase, is to be taken literally. It does not mean "difficult"; .it means "impossible.'' Man Leaves Position To His Wife by Will A woman is to take her husband's place as chairman of directors of a company of brassfounders. This is the remarkable condition laid down in the will of Frederick Machman Watson of Rotherham, Yorkshire, Eng., a civil engineer, who left estate of the gross value of £69,- 264, 69,264, with net personality £59,017. Mr. ,Watson was chairman and managing director of a Rotherham firm of brassfounders, and in his will he stated that he desired his wife to be in the same position as he (at the time of his death) and that she should, after his death, be appointed chairman of directors of the said company, and that the company should pay to her the same salary as he was receiving from it at the time of his death. Mrs. Watson, for about five years during which Mr. Watson was seri- ously ill, took an active part in the management of the business. Clean Crime Sheet ForChinese Isle Shanghai.—The International Settle- ment at Iiulangau on the island of Amoy, off the coast of Fukien Pro- vince, has established a notable record for peace and order during the past year. The chairman of the Municipal Council, in his annual report, declares: "There has been a total absence of armed robberies, abductions, murders or other serious forms of erime . no industrial disputes have occurred to disturb the peace and good order ot the Settlement." The population of Kulengsu exceeds 32,000, of whom the vast majority are Chinese. H'+ me of Future Designed By Doctor Novel Parisian Edifice Buill of Glass, Steel, and Rubber Paris.—Behind the walls of an old! fashioned mansion in the heart o Paris has been built the "Home o Tomorrow"—a remarkable edifice o glass, steel and rubber with permanm ent sunshine "on top." This is the town house of Dr. Jea?I Dalsaee, a wealthy French sportsma art collector and noted doctor, and; was designed as an experiment by 1Yid Pierre Chareau, a leading architect. Passing through the very normal courtyard portals ,at No. 31 Rue Stt Guillaume, Faubourg St. Germain the unsuspecting visitor comes upon this surprising house. To build this house the architect tore down the three lower storeys of an old mansion; but left the fourth storey to rest upoi' the top of this super -modern home and serve as servants' quarters. The outer alis are composed of thick glass tiles set in steel frames,' giving a net -like effect. These are not transparent but they admit plentgl of light. TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED. Within this "Home of the Year 2000" are vents which shoot currents' of warm air through the floors, the temperature thus obtained being tem,. pered by ventilators in the walls Nevertheless the temperature permits' of the free growth of cactuses, •orch-t ids and other tropical plants. The floors are composed of rabbe tiles which muffle footsteps, yet are; specially - made to permit dancing Levels change gradually so that most staircases are eliminated. There are no interior walls, prop- erly speaking, but mere partitions of steel netting or painted metal. The lighting system is, however, the triumph of the architect. Thisi is provided by six huge reflectors out/ side the building. When the lights are switched on these reflectors throw al strong glaze through the tiles of the walls, giving a perfect illusion of euia1 shine. ji "I fear we are losing our ideals In the mad rush for wealth."
