I am beginning to wonder, We seem to have lost a few somewhere. Or is that what generally happens when one has company? We had visi- tors for three days and then when they returned to Toronto I went with them, intending to visit Daughter and come back on the 6:30 train, But 1 cut things too fine, A delayed street- car added to my troubles so 1 missed my train by about two minutes. The ?nest time I have done such a thing in years. For- tunately Daughter's place is only about 10 minutes ride from the station so 1 went back until it was time to leave for the mid- night train: 1 had too much work waiting at home for me to stay overnight. However, wait- ing for the late train allowed me more time with Davey who was quite happy to have an extra person to play with, Then, too, I was able to get a full eve- ning with television, which I had not done before, .But I can't say I am any more sold on it. Certainly there are programmes that one naturally enjoys but I find the advertising even more annoying on TV than it is on the radio. As for good music I much prefer the radio -- and that goes for newscasts too. However, I did enjoy a presen- tation featuring R. L. Stevenson on the island of Samoa. I sup- pose eventually we shall suc- . comb to mass enthusiasm and get a set of our own but at the moment neither Partner nor I are too enthusiastic. Books, papers, magazines and the radio are about all we can handle at present. We have a little extra work right now -- looking after two stck dogs. What ever ails them I don't know unless it is dis- temper. They both have coughs and look .pretty miserable. Tippy • hasn't eaten anything for three days. As for Honey, she would eat if she were at her last gasp. Afterwards she acts like a horse with the heaves. Tippy is eleven years old and Honey six or seven so they are rather old for dis- temper, especially as they were both inoculated for it as pup- pies. Well, 1 guess the Folk School tor this County is over for an- sther year and I didn't get to it at all. That was quite a dis- appointment—you may remem- ber how much I enjoyed it last rear. However, these days it is Inpossible to fit everything in hat one would like to do. There were also two meetings that Partner would Liked to have Bone to and didn't.. Socially- tninded farm folk can be very busy nowadays. It is never a problem now to know what to do during the long winter eve- nings. The real problem is to find the long, winter evenings Stretchable Synthetic Knits Put Elasticity In The Budget R.Y IIDNA MILES Sizes are the bane of any housewife's shopping excursion. Getting exactly the right sizes in socks, shirts and pajamas for the male members of the family should be easy --but isn't. if the fabric isn't sanforized, there must be allowance for shrinkage. And in the interest of the budget, there frequently must be allowance for growth. Sizes, too, run somewhat differ- ently with merchandise from different manufacturers. All in all, a shopp ng trip can turn into a guessing game. The new, stretchable knitted fabrics in nylon or a combin- ation of nylon and dacron are removing much of the guesswork. One garment stretches to be right: fit for several sixes without sagging or binding. Thus it can span several seasons instead of just a couple of months. Such fabrics are completely washable (by hand or ma- chine), and need little or no ironing. They're done in both plain and ribbed types and in solid colors and stripes. And they're nice as gifts, since the stretch feature practically does away with the size problem. S -t -r -a -t -c -h the budget with children's T-shirts such as these. Both are of same size, but stretchable knit fabric insures fit during several seasons of growth. ... especially with spring in the offing. Spring . . . what a happy thought! I suppose many of you are already planning your work. Whether it be seeding, garden- ing or housecleaning. Early spring brings with it a renewal of f aith in the year ahead. Without it we could not carry on. It is as necessary to our well-being as the air we brerathe. A friend of mine gave a series of talks on that very subject just recently and I was particularly impressed with some of her remarks. 1 think they will appeal to you as well. "There are three levels of faith —faith in God, faith in others and faith in ourselves. They all work together. A strong faith in God makes a strong human being. Then there is faith in others. If you have faith in the people around you, you trust and respect thein. If you lack this faith you mistrust and despite them. • Sometimes an unfortu- nate experience destroys your faith in people. Don't, whatever the provocation, let this happen to you for lack of faith can grow.' like a bad weed and spoil your relationship with all you meet. Then there.is faith in yourself. Without faith in yourself you become inadequate — without vitality and lacking- the power that you should' be using. But you can develop faith in your- self. It is an act of will. You. can have faith or distrust; con- fidence or fear. The possibili- ties are within your mind. You must have this triple faith --- faith in God, faith in others and faith in yourself. You CAN have it: faith can be developed and with it comes an amazing power. Faith is the ingredient which mixed with prayer, gives you direct communication with the Divine." Well, I don't think I need add anything to those remarks — they speak for themselves.

She is now working on another series ---how to develop that faith that she advocates. So many people came to her asking that very question.

Where Women Score What are the ten small but important things which a wo- man can do better than a man? •A romantic but rather cynical Frenchman undertook to find out. Ile studied women for five years, reports a Paris corres- pondent, and then compiled this list of things which, he said, women of all ages can do in- comparably better than mere men: Dress lightly without catching cold. Cry at the right moment. Avoid an argument by a smile. Choose a present. Obtain a special dish for a dog in a restaurant. Write a long tetter and say nothing. Remove a speck of dust from another person's eye. Choose underwear for the op- posite sex without embarrass- ment. Disturb a score of people in a cinerea before finding a seat. Drink very hot drinks without flinching. Well, that's his list. What's yours? Season to taste 1. c. xniziced cooked meat with grated onion, salt, pepper and condiment sauce; moisten slightly with gravy 'or sauce. Sift twice, then sift into a bowl, 2 c. once - sifted pastry flour (or 1% c. once sifted all-purpose flour), 4 tsps. Magic Baking Powder, 31 Isp. salt, 3sde, tsp. dry mus- tard. Cut in finely 5 tbs. chilled shortening. Make a well in dry ingredients and add 3s c. chili sauce and ei c. leek; inix lightly, adding mirk if necessary, to make a soft dough. .Knead for 10 seconds on floured board and divide dough into .2 parts. Pat one part into a greased round 83f cake pan and spread almost to edges with meat mixture; moisten edges of dough with water. Pat second part of dough into an 834' round and place over meat mixture; press lightly around edges to seal; score top layer deeply into 6 pie -shaped wedges. Bake in hon oven, 425*, about 20 mins. Serve hot with brown toinato sauce.
