"A wife comes
to this state by
degrees, and, un-
happily, accepts
it. Especially if
she has years of
marriage behind
her, she clings to the hope of happy
days again, and continues to love
her husband for what he was, and
because he is the father of her
children.
"For several years, my husband
has made no secret of his affair
with a married woman. He spends
all the time he can with her. I
'have come to believe that he really
loves her, or that she has some
hold on him. He is satisfied to live
this way ,and does not want a

Lost Fragrances
Go to, the warm, dry attics of
some country places and you will
meet fine old fragrance, the smell
of drying herbs. Sage, and rose-
mary, and thyme;. garden herbs,
principally, perhaps with the tang
of garlic, the pungence of dill, the
sweetness of lavender. . Thus we
preserve, on a small scale, the .old
arts of the herbalists. But seldom
will you find among those attic
herbs the. old stand-bys • from the
open f ,.gds,, for the old art and the
oldl knowledge of useful wildings

When my . mother - makes Hun-

down the block open their win-
dows wide.- Young' brides, raised
in the American tradition of quick,
simple, light meals, ponder over
the pungent aroma. They sniff -
and sniff -and, wonder why it is
that suddenly one has become so
hungry.
The canned ham• loaf, heating in ,
the oven, guaranteed:by the cook-
book to -please ;any brand riew•,hus-

Mother can't understand; why
everyone thinks her _cooking smells
better, tastes better,.,: and is"better
than anyone else's; Sl&; insists she
doesn't even like to • cook -it just
so happens it's the talent she was
born with and she is obliged to use
it.
Cooking is an art, exactly as
music and painting are arts. There
is. just one great' difference. On a
diet of these, one gets lean; but
on mother's •talent, oiie gets plump
-for :instance, take plum dumplings.
Plum 'Dumplings Top List
We have .never'seen plum dump-
lings anywhere but on our mother's
table. She makes the batter, pits
the plums and spoons the batter
around the. plums. She drops these
into boiling water and they puff up
into spherical, lyrical taste tempters.
You eat one, you eat two, you
eat on and on; and when it is
too late to make any difference you
discover you've made a gourmand
of yourself. And You aren't one bit
ashamed!
Mother has a trick with potatoes,
too. For years the potatoes have
been hiding their unhappy heads.
People shy away from them in
droves because somewhere, some-
time, someone said they were fat-
tening..
Mother heard this, too, but paid
no attention. '
She fills a huge, iron skillet
with sliced, cooked potatoes, then
fries them until they arebeautifully
browned, At this point anyone else
would serve thein -but ` not our
mother! This is just her preliminary
step. She now pours a big :pitcher
of heavy cream over the whole
thing, then rats its simmer till it's.

they throw all their caution under

A Few Hints On
Better ..Kitchen .s
•
Nowadays the labour-saving ad- '
vantages of electrical living are
found just as 'abundantly on Ameri-
ca's 'farms as in the hones of city
dwellers, Milking machines, )milk
coolers, hay dr;ers and dozens of
other pieces of farm equipment art
operated by electricity..
And the farm wife, not to be
outdone, has insisted that electricity
go to work for her in the kitchen.
Electric refrigerators and ranges
are commonplace in the farm kit-
chens of today.
Now the farm wife is learning of
the labour-saving advantages of an-
other electrical appliance -the auto-
matic dish -washer. Faced with a"
job of feeding a hungry family and
farm hands three tinges a day, she
• is quick to see the advantages of
the dish -washer to speed the job
of clean-up alter meals and making .
the work easier.
'One common job on the farm is
washing the milking machine and
the cream. separator. When you
know that these machines have
about 60, separate pieces, you can
see the job can be a tedious one.
Many a farm wife has found that
the automatic . dish -washer can do
the whole job in just a few minutes,
and wash the parts more hygieni-
cally ,clean than she can do by
hand. ` ••
This is' possible because the mod-
ern dish -washer delivers water from
an electrically heated booster tank
at temperatures -up to 170 degrees
,and one dish -washer on the 'market
- does the entire washing and rinsing
job in only 10 minutes.
pots. They sniffed and they sighed
and they tasted!
Looking back, Mother always
Sighed too, arid said they were more
trouble than us poor folks, They
acted as 'though they . never got
anything to eat because all she had
cooking for them was iamb• stew!
And, of course, homemade bread!
Chicken Heads Menu
Mother's idea of a company din-
ner was, and still is, roast, chicken,
mashed potatoes, peas and carrots,
and either pie or cake. Certainly not
lamb stew, (Every man to his
taste.) '
• Som.etinies, at those special -favor
dinners, mother, would be asked to
make oxtails in the way only she
could make them. .People who
shuttled back , and forth to Europe
with no more concern than if they
were buying bus tickets to go down-
town, vied with one another for in-
vitations to dinner, just to eat some
of mother's plain cooking.
Her method of cooking oxtails
is very simple. It just Happens
they turn out a complicated dish.
She puts them in a heavy, iron
Dutch oven at noon, cuts some
onions in with them, then goes
away and crochets an edge around
a handkerchief. She doesn't forget.
entirely about then. Oh, no. Like
children, she keeps an eyeon them.
Occasionally she comes back and
may add a little water. Or she may
not. It all depends. Sometimes she
may -or may not -throw in a little
more salt, pepper, or paprika;. '
When we try to pin, her down
as to exactly how much of this or
that to add, she gets quite an-
noyed at our stupidity. "For good-
ness' sakes," she says, "use your
own judgment. That's what 1 have -
to do "
The oxtails turn out dark brown;
tender, gooey, ant, good! They

but somehow ' you don't mind at

ward.
When mother went off to cook
a special oxtail 'dinner, she knew
the hostess called her guests early
that morning . to reinind them.
Mother believes the guests didn't
eat another bite that day, because
of the quantities they consumed: at
dinner in the evening:
She never could understand their
passion for oxtails. It was a messy
dinner, • eaten • mostly with the fin=
gees. The guests had to keep
wiping the gravy off `their chins
with her homemade bread, but
through the gravy she could see
their beaming faces.
Mother always felt rather guilty.
She thought the ' very least she
could have done for them was to
have made thein a roast chicken
dinner.
She just shook her head and, pon-
dered. Every man to his own taste!

To see hundreds of :scallops the

daintily, sculptured, gaily painted
shells, full of life and grace of mo-
tion, sometimes trailing behind them
plumes of seaweed. Look where
the opening lips show the, fringed
mantle margins. Tliey are as bril-
liantly coloured as the shell. A row
of bright eyes . heads the fringe.
Each eye is an irridescent green
spot, encircled by a .rim of turquoise

ginning. Scallops are abundant on
the coast of Palestine. A member of
the First Crusade starting home
picked up a pretty shell and stuck
it in his hat, or pinned it to his
cloak. He set' the fashion. Whoever
wore the badge was recognized
throughout Christendom as a Cru-
sader; he had been to the Holy
Land. Orders of knighthood grow-

F INDINQ THE' CHRIST
John 1:35.49
IVIemor-• Seid.ion: We have found
the Messlas, which is, being inter-
preted; the Christ. •
John the :Baptist did this work
Well. His mesage had been, "Pre-
pare ye the way of the Lord". The
day after he baptized Jesus he
pointed Him out to two of I -Tis dis-
ciples. They left John and follow- •
ed Jesus. It was 4 p,ni, and' they
remained with Jesus the remainder
of the day, Theywere completely
won by that interview Andrew .
went out and found his brother
Sinton, acclaiming, "W e .have
found the Messias, which is, be-
ing interpreted, the Christ." And
he brought hien to Jesus. Jesus
changed his name to Cephas or
Peter. Peter became a greater
apostle than Andrew, Then Jesus
found Philip and Philip found
N..thanael. Nathaniel hesitated.
Could any illustrous man arise out
of the little rivalvillage of Nazar-
eth, just five miles from his• own
village, Cana. Philip, the realist
(s ie Jn. 6:7, 14,8) said, "Come and
see". Nathanael cam.a'and he hence-
forth became a disciple.
One problem today is that people
are" too busy, to read about Jesus
Christ in The Bible. He will bear
investigation. ":Come and see."
We must get back the New Test-
ament spirit of personal evangelism.
If ,you real!, know Jesus, you will
want others to know Hint, too. Be..
not discouraged because many will
not come,- Some will. T:.ere is no
gr -ter thrill for a Christian thau
that of successfully fringing some
one else to Jesus. In this way the
Kingdom is extended.
No.e that the emohasis of the
lesson is on ,bringing hien to Christ.
Sometimes the true issue is blurred
by some zealot being more con-
cerned about bringing people to his
church than to Christ. Going to
church never saved anyone. 'Many
have been saved through hearing
the message of the Christ in the
church. But we must meet Him. It
must be an acquaintance, person to
person. Only then shall we receive
forgiveness. and partake of His life.
