The quarrel had started from such an insignificant thing as her new hair -do. Now, here she was sitting alone, the slam of the front door still ring- ing in her ears. Bob had gone out alone, and on a Thursday night, too. That was what really hurt most, because Thursday nights were such special nights. The stores were all open and after the dishes were done, Bob and Peg always went window sh.p-- ping. Thet never was a lot of money to spend. Sometimes they did buy one or two little things, and it was always such fun! Peg thought for a moment about how Bob used to tuck her hand un- der his arm and say, "Sone day, honey, I'll give you all the things you want." And she had always said: "But I have what I really want .. you, And, what we share has no price, it can't be measured in terms of dollars and cents!" It was true, Peg reflected. You can't, put a price on the magic of contentment and love and under- standing. Und_rstanding! It was something of a shock to disc. er that Bob could be so critical ... and so stub- born. And, he hadn't understood, at all. Bob ' d been tired ... but even so, all she had done was to say, "Ydu haven't e, en noticed my new hair -dol" He said grumpily, "I don't kn..w why you spent all afternoon getting that done, you look like you're getting ready to tak bath!" Tears smarted Peg's eyes. Her words rushed out. "You'd look F -t - ter with a hair -cut yourself!" "I know it," Bob admitted, "but 1 hurried home so we could go ahoppi g." There seemed to be a broom han- dle stiffening in Peg's back. "I don't think I care to go shopping to - tonight," she answered slowly. When the dishes were done, Bob turned to her, "Are you ready?" Peg answered stubbornly, "I'm not going." Bob had been equally as stub- born, though. "I won't beg you to come, Peg. I'll go alone." And he had gone, just like that. Darkness crept over the room, but Peg didn't turn on a light. She dropped her head on her arms and remembered other Thursday nights. Bob, helping her to choose a slip, saying critically, "That looks too big for you, you're so little." Bob, being amused ... "Those little pink things with the bows are sure cute!" But, tonight, he was ; lone . . he had wanted it that way . what was he thinking? Did he feel the same loneliness? Silly? No, Peg reflected, maybe it wasn't silly, after all. Maybe it was really very important. Maybe the little things were, after all, Important to real understand. Maybe ... it was up to her, too, to be as Bob wanted her to be. Quickly, her hair came tumbling down. When Bob came home she would say the things that were in her heart; he'd understand. The sound of the door opening quietly, reached her, "Peg" Bob called, "I-Ierc," she said softly. He walked over to the lounge. "Why are you sitting in the dark? I was worried, I thought ... want a fight f" "No," •4he answered quietly. Bob cleared hi throat. "Here .. I brought you a little present." He thrust the small package into her hands. "Wait a minute, I'll turn on the light." The light shone down on her head as Psg undid the folds of tissue, It made little colored beams dance up from the two tiny jeweled combs. She turned to Bob, and all the things s' c wanted to say rushed to her lips, but Bob was staring at her hair tt'mbliug to her shoulders. Then he took her in his arms and held her tight.

Clart:c Back to standard time and no one in this house seems to know how to take advantage of it—no one, that is, except myself. For two weeks I had been looking forward to that extra hour on Sunday morn- ing. But did I get it? Not exactly as I had planned anyway. But as I said to myself afterwards— If you can sleep when all the world is waking, If you can dream when other folk are working, If you can doze when roosters start a -crowing, If you can rest when sun begins a -shining, If you can stand the noise and light and chatter— And take it all—and not disturb your slumber— Sleep on, my dear—let naught your -'dreams encumber. * * Yes, that's how it was on Sun- day—everybody wanting to get up but me. Oh well, this standard time just takes getting used to, I thought. Tomprrow will benormal, I Normal . that's where laugh. Bob is on a job that stays on fast time, so on Monday he was up at 4.45 standard time and got his own breakfast. Then at 5.90 Partner was all set to get up. "For goodness sake go to sleep", I scolded, "the alarm hasn't gone off yet—it isn't six o'clock." "But it's daylight," "It's moonlight," I answered. For a while all was quiet, then about ten to six I heard John come down stairs, "The dickens," I ex- claimed, "I might as well be up!" So up I got and I have been run- ning around in circles ever since. Bob, working on fast time, was to be in to dinner at eleven o'clock standard time. The rest of us na- turally would have our meal at noon. Bob's dinner was on the table and the tea made when he came in, looked at the table and said—"I don't need my dinner yet —we have knocked off on account of rain!" Is it any wonder mothers turn grey? * * * Ask any housewife and she will tell you nothing throws her off schedule so easily as irregular meals. But should one be five min- utes late—then, if looks would kill, there are times when one wouldn't be alive to dish up the dinner. Let me see—there was something funny I wanted to tell you—what was it? Oh yes ... "Mike" was in to buy chickens; Tippy was bark- ing furiously at his heels and Mike wasn't liking it a bit. I tried to reassure him. "Don't worry about the dog, Mike—he wont hurt you." "Im not worrying 'bout the dog," answered Mike, "Im worrying about ME!" Last Saturday was the clay of our local fair. It was beautiful wea- ther—bright sunshine and the air just comfortably warm. There was a capacity crowd at the Fair and the exhibits were good except for the fruits and vegetables which were almost conspicuous by their absence. There is this much to be said for local fairs as compared with the Exhibition—nearly every- one knows something about the ex- hibitors.

Stir slowly into boiling juice. Place drained fruit in a deep bak- ing dish. Pour thickened syrup over fruit. Dot with fat. Roll out plain pastry to Vs" thickness. Make several slits in the centre. Fit pastry over the fruit; press down well over the edges of the baking dish. Cut and flute the edges. Bake 30 minutes in a hot oven, 425 degrees F. Six servings. Apple Meringue Pie Pastry 2 large apples, sliced 2 egg yolks 1-3 cup sugar 1 cup milk 2 egg whites 2 tablespoons sugar Line a 9" pie plate with the paste. Peel, core and slice apples and place in the pie shell. Beat egg yolks, add sugar and milk. Pour this mixture over apples. Bake in hot oven, 425 degrees F., for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325 degree, F., and bake 30 minutes longer. Top with me- ringue made from the 2 egg whites and the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Return to moderate oven, 325 de- grees F., to brown meringue. Hybrid Onion Peeling onions will not be the tearful job it is now, once a new hybrid onion strain originated by Dr. Glen N. Davis comes into more general cultivation, says Science Service. Dr. Davis has eliminated a 1 rge part of the pun- gent, volatile compound that. affects housewives' eyes.
