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 aniong those attic
herbs the,- old stand-bys, front the
,Open &ids, for the oldart and tlip
'oldl knowledge of useful vvildings
fades away or vanishes in the
laboratory.
Who gathers yarrow today to
dry and steep for a stimulating ton-
ic? Who ,dries hoarhound to brew
a tonic tea? Boneset once provided
a hot infusion relied upon to break
up a cold or ease malarial fever,
Boneset still grows in every. open
field, but as a weed, now not a herb.
The wild cherry can be 1,,,Ind in
• most woodlands, but almost no
• one gathers its bark to dry and
steep for a mild sedative. Penny-
royal once provided a -remedy for
colic. Who uses it now. fresh from
the field? An,' dittanv-once it was
said to cure "anythin- in .anyone." "
Dittany nrw is all but forgotten as
a herbal remedy.
Unknowing, we get some of the
more effective of the old herbs
from the drug sore now, under
new names and with new odors.
Science catches up with 'the old
arts; even though it leave some
of the trappings behind. And there
is no doubt that science makes even
the best of the old herbalists look
like fakers. But what swee:-scent-
ed memories can be roused by a
shot of penicillin? There was a
tirile when ev. the smell of bone -
set tea would cure a mild cold. Can,
the' smell of antihistr. inc do that?
Never!

TABLE TALKS
ciamArativals
When my mother makes Hun-
garian Goulash, petiole -up , and
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 sci,
hungry.
The canned hani loaf, •heating in
the •oven, guaranteed by the cook-
book to 'please any brand new, bus -
band, suddenly seem i inadequate.
Mother can't understand. :why
everyone thinks her cooking smells'
better, tastes better and is bs-ft:O.,
than anyone elSe's. She: insists
doesn't even like to cook -it ',Inst.
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, one gets plump
-for inatance, 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 them
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 are beautifully
browned. At this point anyone else
would serve them -but not our
mother! This is jiist her preliminary
step. She now pours a big pitcher
of heavy cream over the whole
thing, then i:ts its simmer till it's
a creamy, dreamy mass.
Throw Caution Away
People who never touch potatoes
take a mere spoonful just td be
mannerly, then, -after the first bite,
they throw all their caution under
the table and chorus happily, "Pass
the potatoes, please!"
Mother makes a lanib stew that
is famous in our town. 111 her
younger days mother cooked it once
for one of our first families. She
made such an impression that after-
ward, through the years as a very
special favour, she went back now
and then just to make them her
lamb stew dinner. For old times'
sake!
• 'When mother got back home,
after ane of these special -favour
dinners, we would sit wide-eyed
while se told us all about it. Then
we'd gasp as she told how the
hostess pushed the butler to one
side, and greeted her guests at
the door, versonally. She drew them'
into the house with both hands
and whispered excitedly, "Gtiess
who's in the kitchen!"
Her guests shouted back, "Not"
They ignored the hors d'oeuvres
and in their 'dinner jackets and long
dresses marched straight into the
kitchen where they bothered Mother
tie, end. They peeked into all the
pots. They sniffed and they sighed
and they tasted!
Looking back, Mother always
sighed too, and 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 lamb 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)

itnetty 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
t 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 them. Oh, no. Like
children, she keeps an eye. on them.
•Occasionally she conies back and
may add a.little water. Or she may
not. It all dependa. 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 stupid:ty. "For good-
ness' sakes," she says, "use your
own judgment. That's what I have
to do."
The oxtails turn out dark brown,
tender, gooey, and good! They
leave their mark from ear to ear -
but somehow you don't mind at
all. You just eat your fill and more
-then you go take an oath after-
ward,
• When mother went off to cook
a special oxtail 'dinner, she knew
the hostess called her guests early
that morning to remind 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-
gers. The guests had to keep
wiping the gravy off their chins
with her hotnemade bread, but
through the1-"ravy 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 them a roast chicken
dinner.
She just shook her head and pon-
dered. Every man to his own tastel
KEEP HER .HOME
In a 'bus was a dignified man
carrying a pair of women's shoes.
He had evidently collected them
from the repair shop, and was tak-
ing them home to his wife, But he
had not been supplied with packing
material.
• A man opposite was interested.
Finally *he leaned over, tapped the
dignified one on the knee, and said,
with a knOwing wink: 'That's right.

A Few Hints On
Better Kitchens
Nowadays the labour-saving. ad- '
vantages of electrical are
found just as abundantly on Ameri- ,
ca's farms as in the homes of • city
dwellers. Milking machines, :milk
„elisokvta, hay dr:erS and dozens of
!,;:ttliett
pieces of farm equipment are
operated by electricity.
And the farm wife, not tohe
outdone, has insisted that electricity
go to work for • her in the kitchen.
Electric refrigerators and ranges
are commonplace in the Jam Idt
chens of ,today.
Now the farm wife is learning of
the labour-saving advantages of an-
other electrical appliance -the auto-
matic dish -washer. Paced with a
job of feeding a hungry family and
farm hands three times a day, she
is qiiick to see the advantages of
the dish -washer to speed the job:
of clean-up after meals and; mad*
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 slig,,,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.
Lively Scallops
To see 1-nindreds of scallops the
size of a silver dime flitting through
the shallows on' a bright summer
day will certainly convince you that
even mollusks can express the joy of
living as plainly as a flock of black-
birds or a troop of boys bound for
"the old swimmin' hole." .
No creature that lives in,the vasty
deep can be prettier than these
daintily, sculptured, gailypainted
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. They 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
blue.
The 'Pilgrim Scallop' wears a halo
of romantie'interest. No other Mol-
lusk' enjoys such distinction .: -Its .re -7
knownhad a very commonplace be -
•=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-
ing out of the Holy Wars incor-
porated the "St. James scallop" in
their ensigns. -Froin "The She'll
Book," by Julie Ellen Rogers.

,,John the Baptist did his work
His mesage had been, "Pre-
tiareye the way of the Lord". The
day' 'after he baptized Jesus , he
pointed Him out to two of His dis-
ciples. They left John and follow-
ed Jesus.. It was 4 p.m, and they

he brought him to Jesus. Jesus
changed his name to Cephas or
Peter. Peter became a • greater
apostle than Andrew, Then Tesus
found Philip • and Philip found
N-thanael. • Nathanzel hesitated.
Could any illustrous man arise out
of the little' rival. village of Nazar-
eth, just five miles from his. own
village, Cana. Philio; the realist
(s.:e Jn. 6:7, 14:8) said, "Come and
see". Nathanael can, and he hence-
forth became a *chile.
One problem today is that people
are too busy to read about Jesus
Christ in The Bible. He will bear
investigatio'i. "Come and 'see."
• We*must get back the New Test-
ament spirit of personal evangelisth.
If you reall, know Jesus, you will
want others to know Him, too. Be
not discouraged because many will
not come. Some will. T:.ere is no.
gr.. ter thrill for a Christian than
that of successfully fringing some
.one else to Jesus. In this way the
Kingdom is extended.
No',.e that the emphasis. of the
lesson is on bringing men 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 Hisalife.
