Here is a recipe sent directly, from England, the home of this delicious , pudding; Ingredients Four ounces of flour, 1 or 2 eggs, 14 tPaspoon salt, IA pint of milk or a Mixture of milk and water. Put the flour into a basin with the salt.:'Beat the eggs' and 'add the Milk, to eggs. Make a well in the centre of the of the flour and addegraduala ly Half the eggs and „milk mixture. Beat for about 5agninutes, then add the remainder of eggs and milk. Stir. this in „graduMiyf,but -do not beat t again—Allow this to stand two hours. Melt some dripping in a bak. ing 'tin and when batteeand bake.. for thirty minutes in a hot oven. The secret seems to be in letting the. mixture stand for an hour or two after being mixed. Also some cooks contend that milk and water makes a lighter pudding than. , all milk. One eggs is used as a rule— Iwo if an "extra special" is wanted. . These quantities are sufficient for four or live persons. * POUPS This is the season when a steam- ing hot bowl of soup before the main course of a meal; • is highly ap- preciated by the family.

Stir constantly until the cheese is thor- oughly melted and well blended with the soup. Remove from the heat. Add one-fourth teaspoonful of paprika and one eggs lightly beaten. Stir well for a few minutes and serve hot on crackers or toast. * * * • CELERY. PASTE SALAD 1.1 ! This is a very healthful. salad.

Make a paste from this mixture, combin- ed with minced dates, raisins, cream cheese' or•-eVeii apple butter, and fill the grooves of celery stalks .with the paste, 'Serve • one filled stalk on a crisp lettuce leaf, to each person, adding a mound of home-made jelly on the side, if you wish. * * * PEACH UPSIDE DOWN CAKE 114 cups sifted cake flour 134 teaspoons double-acting bak- ing powder Ya teaspoon salt % cup granulated sugar 4 tablespoons softened butter or other shortening 1 eggs, well beaten Y2 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 4 tablespoons butter cup brown sugar, firmly pack- ed 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned) Sift flour once, measure, add bak- ing powder, salt, and sugar, and sift together three times.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) 50 minutes, or until done. Loosen cake from, sides cif pan with -spattula. Serve upside down on dish with peaches on top. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. * * * WASHING DAY HINTS Use a strawberry basket or other shallow, light basket to hold your pegs on washing day. Pass the clothes -line through the handle of the basket, and when hanging clothes slide the basket containing the pegs to wherever you want it. Not only will this save a consider able. amount of stooping, but your pegs will keep cleaner. • Woollen garments and undercloth- es will dry more quickly if, after hanging on the line, the legs and sleeves are stuffed with crumpled paper. The paper absorbs the water, and also prevents shinking by keep- ing the garments open. When ironing soft collars, take an old serviette, starch well, and dry thoroughly. Place this on the iron- ing blanket and iron all the collars on it. This gives them quite a new appearance, andthe collars will not crease quickly pr, sell easily. When making starch, add a little borax; this gives a gloss to articles when ironed. After the starch is made, stir in a little cold water: this will prevent the formation of skin on the top: When washing new socks or wool- lens of any description, add a few drops of olive oil to the final rinsing water. This makes them delightfully soft and comfortable to wear, and helps to prevent shrinking.. Nit.) ri AND JEFF— IJER.

Immaculate in All Detz.iis To treasure the present and enjoy its gifts in season is the secret of success in living. To one and all of us it has been written: "Do not miss the flowers at your feet by looking over the dist- ance." If we are wise we will take heed of it. The young girl will not waste her youth in striving to possess the charm that belong to later years. The older woman will not spoil all the good that remains by repining for things that have vanished. Both will turn their attention to what is hap- pening now and make the most of it, Guard Your Looks H you are young guard your looks. Do those things that make for health. Sensible feeding, plenty of fresh fruit and salads, deep breathing—just a few long breaths in front of an open window each morning—as much fresh air as possible and exercise. It is eas- ier to keep the body slim and in good fettle than to refashion it once it has gotten out .of condition, - Take care of your skin, It is so very simple. A young skin does not need much in the way of cosmetics. Thor- ough cleansing with a refined soap and water, or, if the skin is dry with cream, followed by a nourishing skin food, is all that is necessary. Do not let the fact that you skin is clear and radiant betray you- into neglecting either of these essentials. It may be tempting when you are tired to drop into bed without pro- perly cleansing the face. But do not give way to it, for this it is that clogs the skin and results in open pores a little later on. A. little nourishing cream massaged gently in will keep the skin smooth and prevent lines from developing. Always massage up and out with a rotary movement The Older Woman The older woman will have to give more thought to her appearance, She lutist replace the gay inconsequence of youth, its untouched freshness, with the more subtle attractions that have heir root and being in .good' grooming, Just as her clothes must be better cut, more carefully consid- ered so must her looks have more thoughtful attention, To the cleansing cream, and skin food must be added a. good tonic to tone the skin. This should be patted in immediately after cleansing. If the muscles show signs of sagging an astringent should be used to brace them up. These astringents are made in the varying strengths, and are wonder- fully refreshing and invigorating. Bleaching creams and face packs are both useful for improving a skin that is looking lifeless. Foundation creams are rarely nee- essary for the young girl but as one grows older they are excellent for gi- ring a smooth and finished swear- ance. They should be chosen with care, and the woman whose skin is inclined to be dry will do well to select one with a slightly oily base. This not only goes on to better ad- vantage but definitely helps to pre- vent wrinkles. An occasional visit to a beauty salon for a face treatment is advis- able for the woman who wants to look her best. People are under the impresson that these treatments are expensive, but this is by no means always the case, and they are well worth the money spent on them. For apart from the good they do at the time they assist one in caring for the skin at home,. Hair is something else which should be given extra care as one grows older, The, careless coiffure permis- sible • to youth is unbecoming in later years. Color may made but this is un- important, if the hair is brushed to a sheen and immaculately dressed. Grey hair in. particular can look wonderfully distinguished if it is well set and worn with dignity. Make up should be ohosen to go with it and there are ranges of colors specially designed for its enhancement. It is by paying attention to small details such as these that the °Merl woman achieves the poise that comes in the place of youth. When she can no longer be young she can always be "soignee."

Golden Text—Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ Is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat oveth him also that is begotten of him. 1 John 5 : 1, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—St. Jahn, who was probably the youngest of the apostles, outliv- ed them all, his life extending to beyond ninety years and closing near the end of the first century. This letter was probably written near the end of his long life, perhaps A.D. 9-0. Place—Ephesus, John being the head of the church in that leading city of Asia Minor. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God." This thought is found in I John 4 : 2,7; John 1 : 12, 13; 14 : 1, 9, 10; 15 : 23. Born of God" is one of John's favorite thoughts. It means that one's spirit springs from God's Spirit, that one is the son of God, loving him and obeying him as a true son would "And whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of hini." Love to God and love to man are insepar- able. "Hereby we know that we love God and do his commandments," Whenever our love to God is clear, and issues in active obedience to his will, we know by this that our love to his children is real. "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments." We find this true in our human relationships. If a child does not obey his parents, we are sure that he does not love them. "And his commandments are t are not grievous." John is laying down no difficult rule; he is only , , stating the natural, the inevitable tuGh)outhome of true love and true obedi- the c_ e which is joy. "For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world," Victory is promised to the church universal, All that is born of God conquereth the world. "And this is .the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith," This is one of the great- est sentences in the Bible. Our faith must mean everything to us, if it is to be victorious. "And who is he that overcometh the world,'•but h'e that believeth that Jesus is the San of God?" The world, the flesh, and the devil are too much for any Man. But if we have faith in Jesus Christ, and are linked with him, and- Christ is formed in us, the hope of glory—then it is we get the victory over every enemy, Urges Women To Take Up Public Work Urging women to take up public work, Dame Beatrix Lyall told the National Women's Citizens Associa- tion, of London England, at a lunch- eon that the Care Committees of Eng- land are 2,600 workers short of the number needed. She was appalled, she said, when she thought of all the women who Sat about in hotels and in boarding houses doing their best to kill time, "This is he that came by water and blood, even -Jesus Christ." There may be a reference here to the blood and water which flowed from Christ's side when it was pierced by the spear after his death on the Cross (John 19 : 34), but the simple est interpretation is that whieh re. fers water to the baptism, of water to which he himself submitted. "Not with (margin, in) the water enly, but with (in) the water and with (in) the blood. The water signifies right- eousness, whether the reference be to Christ's baptism or to the pierced side or to Christian baptism. "And it is the Spirit that beareth. witness, because the Spirit is the truth." The idea of witnessing is characteristic of St. John, You may count almost eighty instances of it in his writings. "For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one." By the very constitution of aur minds we perceive the demand for unity in Gad. Apart from this there can be no universe, no rational life at .all. "If we receive the witness of men, the Witness of God is greater." Human witness is constantly accept- ed, in law courts and in common conversation, as establishing facts. All science is built upon human wit- ness. All commerce is founded -upon a general belief in human integrity. The witness of men is received. Any message that clearly conies from God is to be accepted by us with a readiness infinitely greater than in the case of mere human. testimony. "For the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son." The entire Bible, in all its sixty-six Books, bears evidence con- cerning Jesus Christ. Human ex- perience, in all the ups and downs of history, is testimony to the Son of God. "He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him." All that God is is revealed i'- the man God -born, God -possessed, Good -in - dwelt. "He that believeth not God bath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son." The enormous insult to God that is the sin of every infidel is here plain- ly set forth. The infidel must be- lieve, either that God did not send his Son into the world, when he has given us such manifold evidence that he did; or that Jesus Christ was not the San of God, when all the evidence relates to and terminates upon him; or that he sent his San to deceive the world, and to lead it into error and misery. "And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." John began this letter with a strong statement that he had himself known this Eternal Life, which was manifested in the Son of God (1 John 1 : 2); and he had heard Christ say with equal emphasis, As the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he the Son also to have life in himself, (John 5 : 26), "He that hath the Son hath the life." The life of which John has been speaking eternal life, life in Christ, the only kind of life worth mentioning. "He that hath not the San of God hath not the life." The converse of what John has just said, but a converse very necessary to be noted. If your life is fruitless and dead, if it lacks joy and abounding vitality, there is only one reason; it lacks Jesus Christ. Because there is a demand for wool and because there is pasturage for two milion sheep in Austria, Austrians are being begged by Gov- ernment to eat mutton, which they despise; it is considered a luxury in Portugal and a delicacy in Italy. During the Irish potato famine, thousands of people starved to death rather than eat the maize poured in. from Ameriea. All over the world you will find the same queer anti- pathies to wholesome but unaccus- tomed food. In the Southern United States not even a Negro will eat rab- bit. In Scotland hares are so little thought of that in Dundee and other big cities blue hares sell during the season at 12c and 18c .apiece the same animals fetch 60c or 75c in Lon- don.
