The Art of Carving How many young husbands view the first "bird" waiting for the carving knife with a troubled and doubtful eye? A great number, I'll wager. The following instructions a -re well worth cutting out and keeping 'for future re- ference: First of all, the platter should be large enough so that there will be plenty of room to carve and the knife should be carefully sharpened and the choice of the knife considered. Three sets of carvers are almost a necessity. A small pair for fowl or steak, longer and larger for roasts and a fish set, this preferably of silver. Fish For baked haddock, cut down centre. from backbone, lifting off small por- tions to prevent breaking. For sal- mon, slide fish knife down the back from the bone and lift off in square pieces. Turkey, etc. Insert carving fork firmly across breastbone; cut through skin at leg, bend leg and cut at joints, cut off wing. Cut breast meat in thin slices, carving one side of bird at time; cut leg meat in small portions. Duck, Goose, etc. Cut meat horizontally at each side, cut off wings and legs, carving• latter, For partridge or quail, etc.,' cut down the breastbone, lifting meat off; serve one-half to each person. For pigeon, 'Ste., serve one bird to each person. Candy Pie Cut rhubarb into tiny pieces, cover with sugar and cook slowly in the oven. Line a flat tin with pastry and fill with cooked rhubarb. Cook in quick oven. When clone, cover thickly with brown sugar and also place clots of butter on top. Return to oven and allow sugar and -butter to thicken. Serve very hot. Economical Recipe for Lemon Pie Lemon pie is always, a popular des- sert and can be varied in so many ways that it may be served often with- out becoming monotonous. It's a par- ticularly happy choice just at this sea- son of the year when pie "timber" begins to be scarce and you may want a change from spicy steamed pud- dings. - Lemon meringue pie is a universal favorite and very easy to make. If an extra thick meringue is liked use two •eggs in place of one as suggested in the recipe. Lemon Meringue Pie One cup granulated sugar, 134 cups boiling water, 4 tablespoons - corn- starch, 1-8 teaspoon salt, 1 lemon, 1 egg, baked pie shell. Mix and sift sugar salt and corn- starch. Be sure the corn -starch is completely blended with the sugar. Add grated rind of lemon. Add boil- ing water, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture is clear. Add lemon juice and yolk of egg. Beat well and remove from fire. Let cool and turn into a baked pie shell. Beat white of egg with 2 teaspoons water and a few grains of salt until stiff but not dry. Fold in 3 tablespoons sifted granulated sugar and spread roughly Woman's World By Mair M. Morgan over lemon filling. Put in a cool oven for fifteen minutes to puff and color the meringue, Serve cold. The meringue will not "weep" if the filling is cool before covering. Lubricate Dry Skin Body oils and foot creams have the same beneficial effects on your feet and body as nourishing creams have on your neck and face. They help to lubricate a dry condition of the skin. If you haven't a foot cream, try us- ing your tissue cream on your feet once a week. You'll be surprised at the difference in the way they feel af- ter about three or four such treat- ments. When your feet have been bathed and scrubbed with plenty of soap suds and a small brush, dry them thorough- ly. Then, with foot cream or tissue cream in the palms of your hands, massage the cream into your feet from the tips of the toes up to the ankles. If there are little callouses on the backs of your heels, rub in a bit of extra cream on those places. When you have finished, wipe off the surplus cream and go to bed. Body oils usually are slightly scent- ed. When you have taken your bath and dried yourself with a rough towel, massage body oil into your skin. It will eliminate that rough, uncomfort- able feeling which dry skins have af- ter they have been washed with soap and water. Modern bath oils are a far cry from the oils with which the ancient Greeks and Romans used to annolnt them- selves, but the result is about the same. Oils do help dry skin, For Thin,, Faces If your face is'long and thin try put- ting a little rouge on the cuter cheek bones and on the chin. This will make it appear broader and shorter. Don't wear a high crown or large brimmed hat. A round beret -shape or small brim suits you better. The up -to -the -throat fashion is flat- tering to thin necks and faces. Al- ways choose a round neckline in pre- ference to the V-shape. -To Clean White Fur Trimmings of white fur on frocks, hats, or children's garments may be most successfully cleaned with pow- dered starch without troubling to re- move the fur from the articles. If the fur trims a black garment, such as velvet, the surrounding material should be well protected before begin- ning the cleaning process. Sprinkle the starch over the fur and rub it in lightly. Leave on for a time and then shake out thoroughly. This cleaning method will be found most effective. Household Hints Lettuce will keep best in the elec- tric refrigerator if it is washed, dried, then placed in a wide-mouthed jar with the lid screwed on securely and kept there until ready for use. Pour boiling water into the bowl, let stand for a few minutes, then pour out. Now put the butter and' sugar that are to be creamed together into this heated bowl. You will be sur- prised how quickly they will blend. British Train Alien Airmen London.—Britain's "air university" —the big flying school at Hamble, on Southampton water—set new records in 1933. Flying hours accomplished b, the' fleet of 21 aeroplanes aggre- gated 6,428 (equivalent to some 600,- 000 miles flown), compared with 4,380 in 1932. In one month alone—August —1,046 hours were logged. AIR CAREERS. The aeroplanes i+. the school fleet range from the light training 'plane to amphibious craft and a multi - engined airliner. Nationals of 12 countries made up the 87 civilians and officers of foreign air forces who at- tended the school during the year: Austria, Canada, Denmark, Great Britain, India, Iraq; the Irish Free btate, Norway, Peru, South Africa, Sweden and the United States. Twenty of the 40 civilian pupils under training at the end of the year were "long course" students who in- tend to make their career in aviation and whose stay at the school will last three or four .years. Lovely Lines For Matrons By HELEN WILLIAMS. Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur- nished With Every Pattern A glance at this effective dress and its "just rightness" for matrons or heavier figures is immediately real- ized. This very charming model shown for today's pattern is in printed crepe silk in navy and white with navy bodice and sleeves. The flattering cowl neck is accented by a white gar- denia. The soft neckline, V bodice lines and skirt panels are very slender- izing. While extremely attractive carried out in contrasting effects, in one ma- terial as, for instance, in either plain or in a printed crepe, it is also lovely. Style No. 2544 is designed for sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 inches bust. Size 36 requires 2% yards of 39 - inch print with 1% yards of 39 -inch plain material and ee yard of 35 -inch lining: HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS.

Enclose 15c in stamps or coin (coin preferred; wrap it carefully) for each number, and address your order to Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto. High Honor Conferred On Anne Lindbergh Washington. — The National Aero- nautic Association of the United States has conferred its highest honor — honorary membership —on Anne Lindbergh. Mrs. Lindbergh, "because of unusual and outstanding contribu- tions to aviation," becomes the eighth living member of this select group of flyers. The honor places her along with Or- ville Wright, her husband, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Dr. Hugo Ecltner, Harold Gat- ty, Wiley Post and Amelia Earhart. Sweeping Generalities. Never Applicable Washington. — Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who says women must keep right on proving they are practical until the world believes it, is going to help find new occupations for mem- bers of the sex. Mrs. Roosevelt said that time and again she had heard people say that "no woman can do" some special thing that a woman probably has been doing successfully for years. "There are still people who feel you can generalize about women, or about men," she said. She contended that there's no such thing as a sweep- ing generality on either of those sub- jects. Sunday School Lesson 11-0•11-0-0. Lesson XI.—March 18. Jesus Re- eponds to Faith.—Matt. 16:21-31. Golden Text. ---Ask and it Shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you,—Matt. 7:7. TIME—Sprint, and summer of A.D. 2ist9,ry. the third year of Christ's min- PLACE—The Sea of Galilee and its northern shores on both sides. The region of Tyre and Sidon in Phoenicia. PARALLEL PASSAGE—Mark 6: „,47; 8: 21, Matt, 15: 21. "And Jesus went out thence." Matthew speaks of him as in the land of Gennesaret northwest of the Sea of Galilee, a region which gave to the sea one of its four names (Matt. 14: 34) . "And withdrew." Again•he sought rest from the crowds. "Into the parts of Tyre and Sidon." This was Christ's only excursion into heathen territory (except that he was taken to Egypt when an infant). "And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders." Sonie of the ancient Canaanites had been driven northward into Phoenicia, and this woman was of that stock. Mark calls her -"a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race," Phoenicia being part of Syria. "And cried, saying, Ha•ie. mercy on me, 0 Lord, thou Son of David." The fame of the miracles of Jesus—especially his expulsion of de- mons—had gone far and wide, "My daughter is grievously vexed with a demon." The mother, as a mother wopld, made her child's case her own, and prayed the Lord, "Have mercy on me." "But he answered her i,ot a word." Whosoever would trust God must trust' his silence. "And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us." Probably they meant, Send her away with her desire granted and her daughter healed, so that she may cease bothering us with her clarnor. "But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." It is that he antici- pated a ministry that should be wider than these Jewish limits. And one of the events that makes this clear is the event we are now studying. "But she came and worshipped hint, saying, Lord, help me." She had not heard Christ's parable of the impor- tunate widow, but she proved its uni- versality of truth by acting it out in a heathen land. "And he answered and said." This was the third test of the mother's faith, and the most severe test of all, unless, as was very likely the case, it was mollified and interpreted to her by a loving smile on the Saviour's Countenance. "It is not meet to take the children's bread." Christ's mir- acle -working power that should be re- served for the children of Israel, God's chosen people. "And cast it to the dogs:;; . To the miserable, half-starved, filthy; dogs that prowled masterless, around the streets of Eastern towns and were a synonym for all that was despicable. "But she said, Yea, Lord." With a mother's ready wit, with the quick- ness of despair, she seized Christ's. words and tossed then back at him, winning an argument out of his very denial. "For even the dogs" Christ had used the word "little dogs," the diminutive, and she appropriated it as signifying the household dogs, the family pets. "Eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." The pieces of bread which were broken off, and, in the absence of napkins, were used to wipe the bands, and then thrown under the table to be appro- priated by the dogs. The poor woman might be only a Gentile dog. Very well; she asked only for a dog's por- tion for her child. "Then Jesus answered and said unto her." She had shown the quality which always won his most ardent admiration: "0 woman, great is thy faith." Christ marvelled also at the great faith of another Gentile, the centurion of Capernaum (Matt. 8:10). He does not say Great is thy love. He says Great is th • faith. "Be it done unto thee even as thou wilt." Faith is the opportunity of God; our faith enables him to do for us wisely what his love is longing to do. "And her daughter was healed from that hour." Another case of our Lord's healing from a distance. "And Jesus departed thence." Once more our Lord's desire for rest and for quiet converse with his disciples was frustrated. "And came night unto the sea of Galilee." On which side? According to Mark (7: 31), the east- ern, approached by a circuitous jour- ney through Sidon and Decapolis. 'And he went up into the mountain." Rather, the mountain country, the high land, as distinguished from the low lend, which he had left. "And sat there." He sat down to teach, as be- fore the Sermon on the Mount; but the address in this; ease is not., rec- orded. "And there came unto him great multitudes." They had tracked him from Phoenicia, publishing his fame by the. way. "Having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, an., many others." Some take the work trans- lated "maimed" as meaning those who had lost limbs, which Christ restored; but there is no definite account of such a miracle. "And they cast them down at his feet." very strong word, flung thern down, not carelessly, but in haste, because so many were coining on the same errand. "And he healed them." That was what they wanted. "Insomuch that the multitude won- dered." What must it have been to be an eye -witness of such a scene of healing and of worship. "When they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed v hole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing." When thy saw applies to the entire scene. "And they glori- fied the God of Israel." This expres- sion may indicate a heathen crowd on the eastern side of the lake. They knew that there was some special re- lationship between God and the chil- dren of Israel. Someone Due Credit Yeast or Bread Maker? Inverness.—On Feb. 9th the morn- ing Homer Fisher's home was burn- ed. Mrs. Fisher had mixed .some bread leaving it beside the stove to rise. When fire was discovered, among the articles that was carried to a nearby shed was this bread mixer: On Feb. 16th just one week later, Mr, and Mrs. Fisher moved back to a temporary home prepared for them, Mrs. Fisher thought she must get this dough out of the ,pan so placed it near the heat to thaw out, (as it was frozen as hard as stone) as it began to thaw, it began to rise. Curious as to the result, when it had risen sufficiently, she put it in pans and cooked as usual. The bread was as light as any she had ever baked, and she is one of the best bread makers in the valley. Police Broadcasting The police commission has recom- mended the adoption ,of a system which has been employed for some years past in many cities and found to be of great advantage to the police forces in the apprehension of crimin- als, especially at the moment when crime is committed or discovered, ob- serves the Hamilton Herald. It is the radio broadcasting system which en- ables the central police station to com- municate at once to the police cars touring the city throughout its area and thus puts officers in possession of information which may be of the ut- most immediate value in assisting them in the arrest of criminals. Fairbanks Divorce Delay Indicated London.—The divorce suit of Lord Ashley against his actress wife, the former Sylvia Hawkes', may be de- layed until summer or probably autumn, it was indicated last week. Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., screen star, is named co-respondent Lord Ashley's solicitors, Gordon Dadds & Co., consented to the appli- cation of an extension of time in w8iicli Fairbanks and Lady Ashley legally are entitled "to file answer" to the suit. .. 200 Golfers Out On Calgary Course Calgary.—Believed 'to have set a record for high February tempera- tures, the mercury reached 58 above here recently, Mora than 200 golf- ers made their appearance at the Municipal course. Oh, That We Could All Pay Our Bills In the Sorel Way Famous Actress, Sent a Sign- ed Photograph Instead of a Signed Cheque to Beauty Surgeon Paris, -11111e, Cecil Sorel, 62 -year- old scintillating star of the Casino de Paris, was haled into court by a facial surgeon who claims the fam- ous actress forgot to pay her 10,000 francs for removing some wrinkles from around the eyes, the lips, the nose. The surgeon,, Helene Asdery, testi- fied that the famous star, sent her a signed photograph instead of a sign- ed 'cheque for w'Mt would amount to $645 in Canadian honey. After Meme. Asdery's testimony, the suit was adjourned :br a week, Couple Devise New Marriage. Laws Do Not Believe in Taking Vows They May Not be Able to Fulfill Per- manently Ann Arbor, Mich.—Brides have been known to delete the word "obey"I from their marriage vows, but Mrs. R. E. Buxton, University of Michigan co-ed, went a step further and devised a brand new ceremony. Mrs, Buxton and her husband, who also is a student at the University) returned to their classes here Wednes-' day. The Buxtons explained that•' their wedding ceremony embodied' their own ideas of what modern wee lock should be. The phrases. "toy obey" and "till death do us part" were: among those eliminated from the con-' ventional service. Rev. Charles DJ Allen of Detroit officiated, reading the regular Methodist marriage ser -1 vice which was supplemented by the v 1 by`dthe se eche tie brid e. The service opened with a short out -i line of the duties and responsibilities' of marriage, read by Mr. Allen, which' included, among other things, the' assertion that "marriage is no real union established by a vow." "Marriage," the service continued, "is a' relationship between two por- conalities 4 -motioning together in pro-' gressive i ergration" "It ° i`s ilerely that Rex and I do not believd' we should take any vows we'might not be able to fulfill perman. ently," Mrs. Buxton explained. Women in Business Must Be Twice As Efficient As Men That is to Have an Equal Chance, Says Mrs. Celine MacDonald Bowman New York. — Teaching, nursing, library work and office work are the occupations most overcrowded for wo- men; a study made by the national federation of business and profession- al women's clubs in the United States has revealed. Medicine, retail neer- chandising, credit management and the executive side of social work ars the least crowded. Mrs. Geline Macdonald Bowman of Richmond, Va., president of the fed- eration, announced the results of the' survey. Mrs. Bowman said women were sometimes prejudiced against their own sex in business and the pixy fessions. "Women must realize," she said, "that the value they put on them- selves is the value the world puts on them. Today, particularly, in order to have an equal chance, a woman must be twice as good as a man, and other women need rot doubt her skill," 65,000 Rat Traps But No Cheese New York.—Because New York City has 65,000 rat traps but no money for cheese, one of the most ingenious of the federal relief projects faces defeat. That project was to at- tack with cheese baited traps the mil- lions of rats on Riker's Island, in the East River. Previous attempts to rout them by police dogs and chem- icals have failed ignominiously. Thee are reputed to be—though no one has counted them -12,000,000 rats. This Hen Is A Steady Provider The cackle of an Iowa State Col- lege Rhode Island Red hen9 was heard 305 times last year, and each caclde meant somebody's breakfast, accord ing to poultry specialists at the in. stitution. The specialists said that althoug this is not a record, it is something "decidedly unusual." The average Iowa farm hen lays from 9.0 to 10( eggs per year.
