Hundreds .of 'la- tent engaged people will make June tingle with wedding bells. Now is the time to fete the bride, and show. ars are 'more popular than ever. Linen and kitchen showers give the bride a few more lovely, interesting things for her home. The kitchen shower gives the professional touch for her new career and a convenient diling box for recipes is always smart. Instead of autographs, each guest brings a favorite recipe for the box— food for remembrance," Fresh new vegetables give the luncheon shower hostess an oppor- tunity to combine color and flavor in a springtime fashion. Cream of mushroom or watercress soup, fol. lowed with chicken timbales and fresh asparagus, give a delicately balanced meal. Instead of bread or rolls, these new muffins are delicious. 1 3-4 cups cake flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 4 tablespoons butter or other short- ening, 1/2 teimpoort salt. 4 tablespoons sugar, 3-4 cup milk. 1 egg, well beaten. Sift flour once, measure, add bak- ing powder and salt, and sift again. Cream butter, add sugar, and cream together thoroughly. Add egg, then flour, alternately with milk, a small amount at a time.

Makes 13 small muffins, Little cakes, in rainbow frostings— 'petits fours"—add much to Ahe„dec- 'metre touches at luncheon and tea. They are perfect for "bride -y" par- ties, and not diffienit to make from "this recipe.

For pink strawberry frosting, use 1 tableepoon lenlon dr -strawberry jelly Lowder and 3 tablespoons fresh straw- berry juice.

Add 1 tablespoon ,melted butter, .dash of salt, and 1 2-3 cups confectioners' sugar. Proceed as with orange frosting. These "petit fours" have a smooth glossy appearance and the icing is of aplendid flavor—not that -thick sugary type. EGG "LEFT -OVERS" When you have whites of eggs left over don't forget to make them iuto meringues or macaroons. This can be done whenever you have the time and both of them will keep in an air -tight tin for some time. If you want to use egg-whites and not the yolks, remember that the yolks will keep for a/little -while if they are left in cold water. NON -STICKING CAKES To prevent cake from sticking to the tins after baking, grease the tins with unsalted fat and then dust lightly with our. Shake out all flour that has not stuck to the grease and pour in the batter, The cake will come out beautifully clear. LINE THE POCKETS The pockets on children's sweaters are always the first things to go and if mother will just put a lining of strong cloth. in the pockets when the sweater is new, they will not stretch out of shape or wear out until the entire sweater is beginning to go. MINT There's a bed of mint in the corner of the garden and we watch eagerly for the first sprigs, Although for se long, mint has been associated with lamb as if they were blood brothers, the flavorsome sprig may be used in many other combinations with equal success. Why not, for instance, try mint and new cabbage? One tablespoon minced mint leaves added to one cup crisped shredded cabbage and the whole dressed with oil and lemon juice makes an unusual and delicious salad, or you may stuff tomatoes with the combination. Cucumbers sprinkled with fresh minced mint leaves are appetizing and novel, MINT IN FRUIT CUPS All fruit cups are given au a.litir- ing and seasonal touch 'when, mint is among the assembled ingredients. Sometimes merely bruising mint leaves in the bowl in which a fruit salad or fruit cup is mixed gives as much mint flavor as is wanted. Or the minced mint leaves may be pre- ferred mixed with the fruit for a definite suint flavor. It's a good idea to make up mint syrup to keep on hand for fruit cups and what not. You may bottle the syrup and keep it for use when mint is not in season, This syrup may be used to make jelly and ice and makes a delicious drink coni - bitted with lemon juice and ginger ale. MINT SYRUP Two cups minced mint leaves, 2 cups sugar, 1 3-4 cups vinegar, 1 3-4 cups water, % teaspoon salt. When you make this up to use immediately for fruit cups omit the vinegar and add lemon juice as you use it. Mince leaves, cover with sugar a11.4 pound- with- a - wooden potato masher. Add salt, vinegar and water and bring to the boiling 'Mint. Let sim- mer about fifteen minutes, until the mixture is syrupy. Pour into steril- ized jars and seal, MINT JELLY Mint jelly is preferred by many persons to mint sauce to serve with lamb. An attractive • way to serve it is to mould it in tiny individual moulds and turn out each on a slice of orange. Be sure to wash the orange before cutting it M slices. Three-fourths cup minced mint leaves, 1-3 cup sugar, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 1-4 teaspoon paprika, % cup hot vinegar, 3-4 cup' water, 1 tablespoon granulated gelatiee. Ivit Jr!

THE LAST JUDGMENT.—Matthew 25 : 31-46. GOLDEN TEXT.—We must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Christ. -2 Cor. 5:10. TIME—Tuesday, April 4, A.D., 30, three days before the crucifixion. PLACE—The Mount of Olives. PARALLEL PASSAGE—There is none. "But when the Son of man shall come in his glory." What a contrast to the lowly guise in which the Son of man first presented himself to the world. "And all the angels with him." The vast host of his messengers, re- splendent and beautiful, singing his praises. "Then shall he sit on the throne of his glory." The kingdoms of the world, falsely promised him by Satan in the temptation, will then in- deed belong to him, and the king- dom of heaven as well. "And before hien shall be gathered all the nations," In the last hour of his earthly ministry, Jeusu of Naz- areth commands the view of an im- measurable horizon. "And he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separ- ateth the sheep from the goat,." The Scriptures often employ sheep to de- note those who trust in God, and so the goats or kids are here naturally taken to represent the worst side. "And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on hiSleft.' The first lesson we learn from this parable is then, that we shall all be julged when we die by the Son of man and the second, that we ought to be very glad that we shall be judged, and judged by him. -"Then shall the Xing say unto them PROfttStft Murr, WANT MY PACe 3eer., Go bowls The FooNsbRy ANT) Ger A DC-R%tctc: VOW urete 'Yee) 1)0 foR m\of CHIWS AU.

Christ has rep- resented himself as a shepherd; and now he represents himself as a king then shall he sit on the throne of his going back to his opening sentence, glory. "Come ye blessed of my Fath- er." Our Lord in the last judgement will be acting as the agent of his Fa- ther, and will bestow his award of blessing only upon those whom his Father hold blessed. "Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." The plan of salvation has its roots from the dawn of time. "For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat." He lived on the grateful gifts of those to whom he had ministered, those to whom he had given new life. 1, was thirsty, and ye gave me to "We have one instance, the Sa- maritan woman, at Jacob's well from whom he begged a drink of water. "I was a stranger and ye took me in." Remember our Lord's pathetic say- ing about the foxes that had holes and birds that had nests, while the son of man had not where to lay his head. "Naked and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in pri- son, and ye came unto Ve enter the kingdom of heaven, not by say- ing, Lord, Lord, but by doing his will, not by repeatisg prayers in his name so much as by feeding the hungry clothing the naked, visiting the sick, and the imprisoned, "Then shall the righteous answer him, sayirg, Lord, when saw we thee hungry and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? This homely excel- leace, thus sublimely rewarded, is of an uncounted and unconscious kind. They who have it ere surprised at a praise, which they never thought of, and feel:that there must be sone mis- take about it. 'And when saw we thee a stranger, etc," There is some mistake, they feel and they will not take advantage of a mistake, even to gain entrance into the kingdom of heaven. They will not enter -under the cloak of some one eise's good deeds. They are far too honest for that. "And the Xing shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you." The principle is so important that it receives one of Christ's char- acteristics emphases, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one ef these my breth- ren, evca these least, yet did it unto me."

The "Early To Bed" Rule • 77777'="4 Children Require All the Sleep They Can Get and Parents Should See to it That the Bed -Time Hour Is Strictly OlDserved When a child is very tired he's just ten or twelve need this after school like any one else, Nerve weariness ae- eorupanies museular weariness and when this happens, he is no More re- sponsible for his conduct than we are under like conditions. Observe the good child at the end of the day. Muck bad behaviour were after the sun gets toward the west, There is a difference between bad conduct -and tired conduct, but too few parents realize it. The child taken shopping is anoth- er example. He, or she, will very like- ly be a regular Fauntleroy, or little Eva, during the first half of the ex- eursion. Then when he is both phy- eically and nervously tried, he is likely to put on a performance that shocks and embarrasses his mother Perhaps he only whines or gets ob- streperous, but scarcely a mother lives who hasn't had some experience of the kind. NEED OF RELAXATION Children need sleep all they can get, and, if it is possible a rest dur- ing the day. They don't need to nap neeessarily, but just to lie down quietly for a little while and rest the bones. How long this is kept up de- pends upon the condition of the child cause with that of the lowest of his followers. "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand.'' Here followss per- haps the most terrible of all words spoken by Christ. "Depart from me ye cursed, into the eterreel fire with is prepared for the devil and his an- gels. Eternal fire is a vivid picture of the endless consequences of unre- pented and unforgiven sin. "For I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat, etc Sins of commission are as deadly as sins of commission, "Then shall they also answer, say- ing, Lord, when saw we thee hungry,' These also, like those on e right hand of Christ, declare unconscious- ness; but they declare falsely, while the first declare truthfully. "Then shall he answer them." In terms such as he used for those on his right, but how fearfully changed by that one word; 'not'. "Verily, I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me." Nothing great required of them, only ministrations to "one of these least." They had not been ask- ed to go beyond their easy powers and simple resources. But if they had done what they could, they would would have been doing it to Christ they would have won thereby the et- ernal life. "And these shall go away into eter- nal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life," God is not only benevolent, he is righteous and holy and true; and if his truth and holi- ness require the everlasting punish- ment of sin, his benevolence will not prevent it. Wedding Costumes Gayer For Bride New York—Wedding costumes are getting gayer, not only for the brides- maids, but for the brides. This is partly because it is spring, but also because brides of today want a wider choice than the traditional satin and orange blossoms. Satin is still being worn, but or- gandy and other cotton fabrics are being seen in weding gowns. Veils are shorter and he4a.d.dresses more varied: As for bridesmaids, they are going in for color in a big way. Red velvet, navy blue, cloth of silver, and other unlikely fabrics and colors are suc- ceeding, to the baby blue and spring green of other years. One 'Wedding gown of modernistic severity sqggests a nurse's uniferm. It :is made of heavy white crepe, with a ,high neck that swathes the throat, long sleeves, and a draped bodice. The off-the-faee cap is rather like a nurse's, but the lavish tulle veil and the formal bouquet remind :one that the bride is no nurse, NO 'Bur z liammeR, MN so wat4T TIG NOTIc.di); oucK; r bo NikT TIAtNk `‘00 t<N,IMAJ YOVZ BustNEVSZ \• relaxation, if only for half an hour./ Children are strenuous. Some are el& power gives them a hundred times mere. endurance than their elders: But even so they are a hundred times more active, as a rule. The matter we must give serious attention to is that they are growing and growth means building up surplus each day that goes into poundage. If he uses up this' extra strength and material as he goes along, and is constantly on the reverse line or below it, he will be tired most of the time. This is why he needs sleep, the great builder, and meals varied and -wholesome. FORCE EARLY RETIREMENT Parents may safely be tyrants in one direction, and that is about s',eep, Bed -time should be early and no break -overs. There should be no ex- citement, or worry, either before bed- time A little fun is all right, but the emotionally excited child will lie a- wake for a long time. The worried cn. unhappy child will, too. Downstairs the rest of the family will do well to make a certain sacri- fice and dispense with high jinks or noise, unless the house is arranged so that the radio or the piano won't re- mind the lonely one of all he is,,miss- ing. Be will get accustomed to cer- tain house noises, and street noises, but there is a ihnit. Outdoor air and play induce sleep. Oxygen is the friend of Morpheus. if he cannot sleep, after everything has been done to encourage it the doctor may find the reason. Or if the parents suspect unhappiness they should go about discovering the cause and try to remove it, Sleep is the ally of good conduct, It knits the ravelled sleeve of care, and it also builds up what goes into the sleeve, ihe arms, the legs, and the body and brain. Vegetarian Dishes Are Suggested Pie and Cutlets Offer Solace to Hunger for Sturdy Food To those on a strict vegetariar, diet, there comes a definite hurt- , ger for something sturdier; the cook- ing of the vegetables in baked loaves or pies, or as cutlets will usually give the much hungered -for flavor. For example this pie: Two onions, two carrots, one table- spoon tapioca, one teaspoon flour pepper and salt to taste, one stalk of celery; one half cup mushrooms, one half cup string beans; one half cup peas, one tablespoon butter. Cut all the vegetables in small pieces; nook them and all the other ingredients in enough salted water to cover, until the vegetables are soft. Then pour the mixture into a pie dish. Cover with rich pie crust and bake in a hot oven 400 degrees until the pastry is &lie. Serve hot. BREAD AND NUT CUTLETS One tablespoon butter; one tea- spoon flour, one cup milk; two cups dried bread crumbs; one cup of wal- nut meats "chopped; one teaspoon of chopped onion; pepper and salt; one egg; deep fat for the frying. Blend the butter and flour together in a deep saucepan. Then add the Mix together the crumbs, nuts. onions, and seasonings and put there' slowly through the meat grinder: Stir them slowly into the milk and cook for ten minutes. Then add the egg, well beaten. Turn the mixturt into a dish. When cool form into-cro quettes, put them in the coldest part of the refrigerator ri9 behome stiff. Roll them in egg and plIttelfer crumbs and fry in deep hot fat. The popularity of the Dutch onion, exported from Holland to the var ions countries of Europe, is due in no small measure .to the, efficient grad- ing established by the Netherlands government. • , By BUD FISHER rt\te.-atiER.
