I was staying there alone wait- ing. Partner had brought me there; stayed a couple of days and then had to return to our tempor- ary home fifty miles west of the city. f can see the boarding house now piano crosswise in the living - Toone; big square window with a lovely window seat and lots of anagazines. .An archway led to the dining -room and a hall -way to the kitchen; behind the curtain was rrv,tat, I believe, is known as a con- tinental bed—one that could be tipped up sideways and fastened to *The wall for daytime convenience. l`''&snny things one remembers. I forget the name of the land -lady, and the other guests who were there and yet I remember these little de- tails in connection with the house— . I suppose because they were differ- •ent from anything I had seen at :house. 1 also remember standing around in the hall about twelve o'clock ene night waiting for a taxi do take me to the hospital. 1 t not come . . and it didn't comet Finally my landladly phoned again .. a es, a laxi would be there in a few minutes, they had sent one be- fore but it had got into heavy snow cin a side -street and lost a wheel. Was I glad• T was not in the taxi When the wheel came offs ! finally reached the hospital •sei bout mishap. It was a small private hospital owned and operated by two sisters, one a nurse and the mother a frilly qualified dietitian. Everything was very nice, very ef- ficient and the meals and service just grand. I was able to be around the next day and soon discovered there were only a few other patients, mime with babies; some waiting. i felt rather friendless and alone —as indeed I was, a stranger .in a WILLIE WEATHER Says: Jack Frost has been painting the window Panes again, I often wonder how he can get around so bast—no mat- ter where you go, he's been.

From her hospital bed— which didn't look like a hospital bed at all, but a couch among a bower of flowers—anyway, from it she held court. There were many visit- ors and peals of laughter drifted in- to my little back room. She was de- finitely the glamour girl of the hospital, even to the nurses. Per- haps I envied her a little ... I don't know. If 1 did it wasn't for long, The next day a baby was born to each of us. Daughter was just about 'perfect—,fust as any normal baby is to its mother. But Lady Blue Satin . . her baby was born dead. That is a terrible thing to happen in any language but this girl was apparently a spoilt darling and re- acted accorlingly. Before the baby as born there bad been kidney complications. She had been put on a strict diet and yet had per- suaded her friends to bring her in some of the very things she wasn't supposed to eat. Nature plays no favourites but has a way of catch - Mg up with spoilt darlings. But for all that 1 felt awfully sorry for. Lady Blue Satin. When I was going out of the hospital she called me in and asked to see the baby. She looked at her and said nothing. My lady was still wearing blue sa- tin, her room still bedecked with flowers—but the glamour was gone. I never did know who she was. The hospital, as 1 said before, was just about tops for efficiency and comfort, and vet, a month after I left it was closed by order of the Health authorties. Several mothers had died from blood poisoning, others were seriously ill — and all through infection getting into the hospital from an unsuspected source. Why do I think of all this just now? Because this is the eve of Daughter's birthday. It is only natural to look back and think how much we have, to be thankful for. And I wonder what happened to Lady Blue Satin! And T wonder, is there a "pull" towards the district where one was born? Both our babies were born out West: when we came East it was largely on their account—to give them, as we thought, a better chance in life.

And for many's the long year the problem of school lunches has bothered countless mothers. So today I thought you might welcome a few suggestions along this line—most of which have the endorsement of the Saskatchewan Department of Public Health, which nzade a special study of the subject. So here goes. The Lunch Pall What kind? Metal is best because it must be washed—and scalded— regularly. There should be air holes .for ventilation and, of coarse, a handle for easy carrying, How To Pack Line pail with was paper or paper napkin. Wrap each food separately. Put the heavier foods on the bot- tom—the easily crushed sort on top. What's a Good Lunch? One that contains enough food —and the right kind of food. MILK. —tor bones and teeth. A VEGEsa TABLE or a FRUIT, •preferably both, - BREAD — whole grain or Canada Approved. PROTEIN — -such as meat; fish. cheese. eggs or peanut butter. I -IO')' FOOD— such as soups, cocoa or scalloped dishes. Now, just a word about these hot foods. Every school should have facilities for reheating food, and these are easy to make. just a large kettle of hot water—a canner serves the purpose very well. It is neces- sary to have a rack in the bottom to keep the jars off the direct heat: This may be made of wire, or may be just a piece of hoard, about :;i of an inch thick, with holes bored in it to allow the water, to conte up around the jars. Each child carries a jar bi food in its lurch kit. If put on the stove to heat during morning recess, the food will be piping hot by noon. Jars should be taken home to be washed, and refilled for the follow- ing day. What Foods for the Jar? There are plenty that are suitable. Baked beans, milk pudding, shep- herd's pie, vegetable stew, creamed chicken, vegetable chowder, spaghetti and meal with tonnhioes, macaroni and cheese. creamed car- rots or other vegetables, scalloped I potatoes, liver or salmon loaf, creamed eggs, soup. cocoa n it)h n1!11<.
