During her stay there she collected recipes of native dishes. learned, for instance, how to maze potato soup delicious with a liberal flavoring of chopped parsley. Also that an excellent vegetable, course in tinned asparagus, well drained and sprinkled with melted butter, and then liberally coated with grated cheese. Cook in the oven or under the grill until the cheese has. melted and browned, and the aspar- agus is piping hot. This is best served in the fireproof dish in which it is cooked. FLAVORED WITH SAFFRON Another of my Spanish dishes is made by cooking rice in oil, flavor- ing slightly with saffron, and mixing with pieces of green beans and slic- ed pimento (both from tins). Some- times I add chopped meat, or vary the recipe with different kinds of fish, perhaps oysters, lobster, and white fish. This too is served in the fireproof dish in which it is cooked. An original Spanish way of serv- ing fillets of sole is to poach them in the ordinary way, and then dish with small balls of boiled potato. Half the fish and potato is coated with a well -flavored brown sauce, and the other half with a cream sauce, such as Bechamel. Each guest is served with a piece of brown - and -cream -coated fish, with potatoes to match! Another way of serving sole—put the fried fillets on pieces of fried. eggplant. Eggplants appear in many Spanish dishes, and a mixed grill may well consist of veal and lamb chops, brains and eggplants, all coated and friend to a brown crisp- ness. Veal is the staple meat of Spain. As a roast it is rolled and cut in neat slices. Fillets of veal are coated with breadcrumbs and are spread with pate de foie gras and slices of truffle. Veal chops, which taste almost like pork chops, are fried with breadcrumbs, or may appear smoth- ered with button mushrooms cut in halves. Brains,. I was ,:glad to find, are *Used inOrrtlittleffitedefferY:' Tr?' this recipe from my "diary." Par- boil the brains, breaking into sprig - like pieces, and saute gently in black butter (biller cooked with vinegat in a frying pan until dark) and chopped parsley. Eggs and Pimentoes Eggs very often appear in com- pany with pimentoes. A Spanish omelette is a savory omelette smoth- ered in a sauce made with chopped onion, chopped pimento, and tomato. A good-looking luncheon dish is made by buttering flat fireproof dishes, dropping in two , eggs, and arranging between them various vegetables, such as cooked pimen- toes, cooked tomatoes, and cooked string beans, or pimentoes with mushrooms. Sometimes I follow the Spanish custom and serve a chocolate or spice cake as a sweet at luncheon or dinner. And I must add one more popular "find" of mine—bread fritters. These are bread dipped in milk and egg and then fried. They are served with warm golden syrup or cinna- mon flavored sauce. GOOD COFFEE If you wish to be quite sure that your coffee is perfectly pure, sprinkle a small quantity on the surface of a tumbler of water. Pure coffee floats. The adulterated article sinks to the bottom and dis- eolors the water. This is a simple but effective test. tree a clean pot; scald just be- fore using to remove any stale odors which may impair flavor of the cof- fee. Remove grounds from coffee as soon as it is made. Serve coffee immediately, if pos- sible, or keep hot by placing it on an asbestos mat over a very low heat. Serve freshly made coffee. Re- heated coffee is flavorless:Use fresh- ly made coffee for. iced coffee, too. Scour the coffee pot to keep it clean—not to get it glean. The sedi- ment which collects on the inside of the pot affects the delicate flavor of coffee. Extremely hard and very alkaline waters have an unfavorable effect upon coffee. Glass, stoneware, enamel and other vitrified wares have less in- fluence on coffee flavor than do metals. •HINTS Foil HOME A little salt added to the water when laundering silken garments will set the color. * * Dry Salt and Fruit Stain Sprinkle some dry salt immediate- ly on a fruit stain and it will seldom become permanent. * * * Hair Brush The bristles of the hair brush can be hardened by dipping them in a strong solution of hot water and alum. * * * Asparagus To give a little different and. de- licious flavor to the next pan of as- paragus, try adding a sprinkle of nutmeg.. * * * Blankets If a pair of blankets are not quite long enough for the bed, cut them apart at the fold and insert a strip of outling flannel, the same color as the blankets. This is the part that is tucked in at the foot of the bed and is out of sight. * * * Ironing Soft Collars 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 ba* appearance, and the collars will not crease quickly or soil easily. • * * SofterHands Rub Indian meal on the' hands after soaping them for washing. It will not only cleanse and soften the skin but will also prevent chapping. * * Scalloped Potatoes Wash, pare, and cut four potatoes in one-fourth inch slies. Put a layer in a buttered baking dish, Sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour and dot over with one-half tablespoon of butter. Repeat until all the potatoes are used. A few slices of onion may be added if de- sired. Add hot milk until it may be seen through the top layer; bake one and one-fourth hours or until pota- toes are soft. • * * Cream of Celery Soup Use the coarse stalks and green leaves of the celery, cook with one onion until very tender, first cover- ing with cold water. Force through a coarse wire sieve. Make a thin cream sauce with a tablespoon of butter, one-half tablespoon flour, one pint of milk. Add strained vege- tables and heat to boiling point, sea- son and serve. This soup ean also be made with more tender stalks of celery cooked in water until done, then added to the cream sauce with the water in which it was cooked.

Puffs and large, dark circles may be due to lack of sleep or to some physical ailment. If you have them occasionally, try to get a few more hours rest each night. If they are chronic, better see a doctor at once. In the meantime, here's a simple treatment that will tend to reduce the puffs: First of all, wash both eyes thor- oughly. Incidentally, be careful not to press the rim of the eyecup too hard against your eyes. Now, us- ing clean cotton, make two crescent shaped pads, dip them in cold water, wring dry and saturate with skin tonic. Place the pads directly on the puffy spots, lie down for half an hour and relax, keeping eyes closed. When you get up, pat nourishing cream around the eyes, leave on for five minutes and then remove with soft cleansing tissues. PRINTED LINGERIE SILKS Lingerie silks include a rather surprising number of prints, mostly tiny love -knot wreath and spray ef- fects, spaced on pastel grounds.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time and place.—The passage from Matthew is a part of the Oli- vet discourse delivered on the Tues- day before Christ's crucifixion, April 4, A.D. 30. The two verses from Mark belong to the same day, but were spoken in the city of Jerusa- lem, previous to the Olivet discourse; the passage from Luke records events which occurred at the sepul- chre outside the city wall of Jeru- salem, on Sunday, April 9, A.D. 30. The fourteenth chapter of John is a part of the great farewell discourse of Jesus given on the evening be- fore his crucifixion. The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was written A.D. 59 or A.D. 60. The First Epistle to the Thessalonians, which was the first letter he wrote of which we have record, was writ- ten about six years previously. The Book of Revlation was written by the Apostle John, toward the end of the first century. "But on the first day of the week." This particular phrase is never used in the Bible until after Christ's resurrection (Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2, 9; John 20:1, 19). Therefter it is used twice, and, most significantly, on both occasions is the reference to a day of worship (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2), certainly our Sunday. "At early dawn." At the earliest morning twilight. "They came unto the tomb." Referring to those spoken of in 23:55 (also Mark 16:1). "Bringing the spices which they had prepared." The Greek word here translated 'spices' is the word aroma, the origin of the Eng- lish word aroma. "And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb." Tombs. of rich men like Joseph were frequent- ly spacious rock -hewn chambers with an outer corridor or vestibule, which was separated from the inner space by a large stone. "And. they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesns.", That it had disappeared, all, even the most prejudiced critics of the re - "And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout. They were utterly at a loss to account for and what might be the meaning of the empty tomb. "Behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel." The accounts of the vision of the angels are various, "And as they were affrighted and bowed down their. faces to the earth." They were aware of the presence of supernatural beings. "They said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?" We may literally seek the Living among the dead if we seek Christ in a Christianity, so termed, which de - les the Resurrection. "He is not here, but is risen." This is not the verdict of ome pos- sibly deluded disciple, or dazed and bewildered follower, but of heaven itself. "Remember how he spake un- to ye when he was yet in Galilee." (Matt. 17:22, 23). "Saying that the Son of man must be delivered up intothe hands of sin- ful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." This quota- tion would make the acceptance of the truth of the resurrection of Christ easier, a more reasonable matter, predicted indeed by the one now risen. "And they remembered his words." For words fall idly into the mem- ory, to have their resurection when the Holy Spirit wakes them into their life for us. "And returned from the tomb, parent contradiction in 11/Lar1 1.6:8 obviously one word on the subject to any ane' means that they 'said not except the Apostles to whom they were expressly told to announce it (Matt. 28:7). "Now they were Mary Magda - lam (Matt. 27: 56, 61; 28: 1; Mark 15:40, 47; 16:1,9; Luke 8:2;4,ahn 19;25; 20:11, 11-18). And Joanna" The wife of Chuza, the steward of Herod Antpas; mentioned only in Luke, here and 8:1-3. "And Mary the mother of James (Matt 27:56, 61; 28:1; Mark 15:40, 47; 16:1). And the other women with them." See Luke 8:2,3. "Told these things unto the apostles." Thus is much work of the greatest importance ac- complished by those in the most ob- scure places of life, with the most meagre equipment. "And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk." Literally; 'nonsense". "And they disbelieved them." The imperfect shows per- sistent incredulity. "But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb." For fuller details see John 20:2-9. "And stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves." If the body had been stolen, the cloths would not have been left behind. "And he de- parted to his home, wondering at that which come to pass." The first preachers were men who -were con- vinced in spite of themselves, and in spite of determined, obstinate un- willingness to believe. "Let not your heart be troubled." How easily, how terribly can the human heart be troubled! "Believe in God." An imperative. "Believe also in me." Through Christ we come to know and believe in the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. "In my Fathers house." Many words naturally relate themselves to the idea of father, e.g., love,. care for, provide for, etc., and house or home is surely another one. "Are many mansions." The word, in the Greek, means an abiding -I place, a dwelling, an abode, and con.) sequently a home or eternal per-' manente-. "If it were not. so, kavogild! • 'Art isralter*altii npA confidence in his absolute fairness, which they had ample tine to be as- •• , sured of in their years of fellow- 4. ship with him. "For I go to prepare a place for you." He is our Fore-' 4 4. runner into heaven (Heb. 6:20). , "And if I go and prepare a place: for you, I come again." To what does this coming again refer?

Chrisb himself, without any veil, and with- out any medium, without anything that in our present life interposes' between him and us—that is the pro- foundest desire of the soul. "And whither I go, ye know the t• way." A difficult sentence. Prob- ably Westcott's interpretation is as' near the truth as any: However in -I distinct might be the conception! which the disciples had of the goal to which the Lord was going, they! could at least see the direction in! which he went. "Thomas saith unto him, Lord, wei know not whither thou goest; hes; know we the way?" Thomas was one of those men who always keep well within the limits of their know.. ledge. Some would be silent; some; trying to believe they knew whati Christ said they knew; some doubt- ful, but afraid to confess it. It isi always well to have a Thomas, who. speaks for others bluntly what others would fain express." x Rohrner In the hall we found a groom, who, at Smith's request, fook us to the back of the house, whore he had heard a cry at the time of Sir Crichton's death. "Up there aro the study windows, sir," the groom told Smith. "Over Oast wall is a lane from which the cry came." "What was the cry like?" Smith asked, tensely: "A tort of wail, sir," the frightened groom whispered. "1 never heard anything like it before, and 1 never want to again," •"Wae it like this?" inquired Smith, and uttered a low, wailing cry that made the flesh creop THE ZYAT KISS—A Cry In The Dark.
