VARYING THE MENU WITH LAMB DISHES "What shall we have for dinner tonight?" is the question housewiv- es must ask themselves every day of the year. Sometimes the answer is quite simple, but often the point is reached where there seems noth- ing left to choose. For just such times as that, there is no meat that offers such a range of delectable variations as fresh lamb. Lamb is available at all times of the year, but is more plentiful and more economical at this time of year than at any other season; and there are enough cuts that can be included in the family menu without danger of monotony. 'The leg of lamb is the best known lamb roast, usually weighing about six or seven pounds. It is the ideal roast for the company dinner or for the good-sized family dinner. A .small roast, and still a very choice one, is the shoulder which may be roasted as is, or it may be boned and stuffed. A still smaller roast, suitable for the family or two or three, is the breast of lamb, which may also be boned and rolled or stuffed. Then there are the lamb chops, loin, rib, and shoulder, which are quickly and easily prepared by (broiling. The neck of lamb is a nicely flavored cut to choose for stewing or braising and is very economical. The lamb shanks or breast are al- so very often cut for stew, and what a tasty dish they make! The flavor of lamb combines well with practi- cally all vegetables, so stews made with lamb need never lack variety. Ground lamb makes an excellent meat loaf, one which has a flavor a little out of the ordinary. Season- ings such as onion, tomato juice, ketchup, a bit of bay -leaf, or mint may all be used in making a tasty lamb loaf. Ground lamb balls cooked in toma- to sauce, and patties wrapped with • bacon and broiled are still other ways to use ground lamb to ad- vantage. * * * ATTRACTIVE MEALS The plainer and more inexpensive your meal is, the more pains you ought to take to make it look pretty. One of the easiest way to improve the appearance of the ordinary meat - and -potato meal is to arrange the potatoes or their substitute in the form of a border with the meat in the centre and the other vegetables as a garnish on the outside. The. border niay be made of Irish or sweet potatoes, mashed squash or well cooked rice. Greens, cabbage and sauerkraut, present a more inviting appearance when served either in a molded form or in the form of a border. Arrange in a ring and fill the centre with fluffy mashed potato piled high in irregular contour. Surround the bord- er with brown sausage cakes or crisp link sausage. This saves dish- washing, too; because one serving dish does the work of three. Preparing Mashed Potatoes To make a mashed potato border, rice or thoroughly mash potatoes. Then for each two cups of mashed potato add 4 tablespoons milk or cream, i/z teaspoon salt and 2 table- spoons melted butter. More milk niay be needed to make the potatoes the right consistency and, of course, the more milk you can•beat into the potatoes the more nourishing they are. Beat with a slotted spoon until light. Butter a deep pan or bowl on the outside and place it in the centre of a hot platter or chop plate. Press a mound of prepared potatoes around the bowl. Then remove bowl and fill depression with meat or fish or a creamed vegetable. Macaroni, spaghetti and noodles make rice borders, too.- Fricasseed chicken in a border of noodles with a garnish of candied sweet potatoes is inviting. Stuffed tomatoes, stuffed peppers, glaced and buttered onions, beet marbles and grilled tomatoes add beauty to any hot main dish. * * �+1�iGER WAVIWG 'NOV A.b_, DIFFICULT AS IT SEEMS If she has the right equipment and a good deal of patience, it is possible for any woman to care for ber hair at home. She can very easily give her scalp a hot oil treat- ment once a week. Nightly brushing, is simple. If she wants to take the time and trouble to learn the tech- nique, even finger waving is pos- sible. To set your own hair, you ought to have a really good waveset lotion and a comb with fine teeth. After a thorough shampoo, followed. by sev- eral careful rinsings, part your hair, comb it until not a tangle remains and, using a cotton pad, saturate it lightly with wave -set lotion that has 'been mixed with a clash of plain water or your favorite hair tonic. Now, grasping the comb firmly., pull the hair forward just above the spot where you want the first wave to be. Hold this ridge with the left hand, forcing the hair below it backward with the comb, held in the right hand. This makes one wave which should be pinned securely before you go on to the next. Incidentally, hold. it in place while you form the next one. Repeat to the ends and finish there either with a backward swirl or ringlet curls. • Ringlet curls are no trouble at all ant, whether yon master the finger waving procedure or not, may be used between visits to the hairdress- er to freshen up the coiffure he ar= ranged and to give your head a neat, well-groomed look.

But those of us who have struggled with black -spot, cankers and other rose ills, will demand of our nurserymen: "Which are your most vigorous and strong -growing bushes?" "Which have the healthiest foliage?" "Which Tull their flower color best, etc?" It.' is , best, to • plant roses of the hardy climbing and hybrid perpetual types in the fall, also the hybyid teas, where the winters are not 'too severe. They can be planted from October to December, depending on the location, but they should be placed in the ground before freezing weather. There are times when we have a long, warm fall, in which the newly -planted roses begin to grow Quiet Weddings Are Preference of British Girls --- Only One Arks F'or "Grand Slam." London.

"And No Jazz Band—" Miss Vera Greenwood, a reception- ist, of St. Mark's crescent, Regent's Park — "I wouldn't have a public wedding if they offered me West- rinster Abbey — and all its choir. "I want a quiet wedding, friends and relatives only. • A church, a white wedding gown, and a happy but short reception, and NO jazz band or special wedding song. "The words my husband whispers will be enough..." Miss Thelma Kirk, mannequin at Whiteley's, takes another point of view: "I was green with envy when I saw the Daily Sketch pictures, So many people to give the happy bride and bridegroom their blessings! "Yes, I think I want a 'grand slam' wedding. After all, It only conies once in a 1ife;tlme, and I think I would enjoy the floodlights for one day." "No One Beyond the Family" Miss P.

The trouble with many who ought to be true watchmen in that they are'not close enough to the Lord to hear his word or their ears, are not sensitive to his voice, and, consequently, they have nothing to give, "When I say unto the wicked, 0 'U MANCHU Nayland Smith and 1 were in Inspector Weymouth's room at Scotland Yard whither I had hurried from Daiec- five Cadby'sroom.

But By Sax Roluner •1 wicked man, thou shalt surely die, and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand." How many ministers today are real- ly warning wicked men of the ter- rible punishment in store for those who refuse obedience.to God and re- ject his son, the Lord Jesus Christ? The only way in which God can speak to the wicked and warn him is through a yielded prophet who will hear the Word of God, and be- lieve the Word of God, and will com- municate the Word of God. "Say unto them, As I live, said! the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure! in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way an4' live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil; ways; for why will ye die, 0 house, of Israel?" A yearning tenderness' here manifests itself, still seeking„ notwithstanding all that has taken` place, the return of those who sures vived in the way of peace. "And thou, son of man, say unto; the children of thy people, They righteousness of the righteous shall) not deliver hint in the day of transgression; and as for the wick-' edness of the wicked, he shall not; fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither` shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that hal sinnetb." It is too true that the, evil of man's past prolongs itself- into the future, and that sin Cannot - at once be done with. Yet we be- lieve in the forgiveness ofand sin; desires to teach his children over- whelmed with the. thought of their own evil past. "When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his righteousness, and commit in.1 iquity, none of his righteous deeds.' shall be remembered; but in his in- iquity that be hath committed, therein shall he die." Cf. 3 : 20; 18 24. It was a wide -spread delusion,' among the Jews that they possessed' an hereditary righteousness that,. whatever they might be themselves,: yet the righteousness of their right.; eous fathers, from Abraham down,• would avail them, and, if they ex -k perienced the contrary in their mis- fortunes, they held themselves justi- fied in murmuring against God. "Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul." It is clear that God never promises that all the wicked faithfully "warned by his messengers will actually turn from their sins. "And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?" The calamities of their country were un- paralleled and equally unparalleled must have been their guilt (Lasa, 1 : 9-14; 2 : 13; 4 : 13; 5 7). And their calamities seemed final, their sin was expiable only by their com- plete destruction. Again, when I say unto the wick- ed, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right. If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk! in the statutes of life, committing. no iniquity; he shall surely live, hell shall not die." Cf. 3 : 18; 18 : 27.1 For instances of a return to right-; eousness on the part of the wicked,. see 18 : 7; Ex, 22 : 1,e4; Num. 5 : 6, 7. "None of his sins that he halls committed shall be remembered. against him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; be shall sure ly live." The bad past may be fora, sakes. The grace of Christ will help, us to break loose from the tyranny, of habit. The bad past may be for-, given. THE SEVERED FINGER—A Flight and A Promise.
