Walking carefully into her great• aunt'r? room, Helen Blair unloaded her arms of two nosegays of old-fashioned garden flowers, a new book, several Ietters and a dish of strawberries in a cool green nest of leaves, "You're the most popular person in the whole town, Aunt Letty," acre said, as she stooped to kiss her aunt, who sat knitting at the open window, "Everyone is always sending you things, and calling you up on the tele- phone, and you certainly have more visitors than any two girls in town. Flow do you make people like you so? I want to get your recipe." • "It isn't much of a recipe," said Aunt Letty, smiling up into the admiring young eyes. "Perhaps it's only that I've always remembered something my mother told me many years ago when I was about your age." Helen dropped down on the floor at Aunt Letty's feet, and the old lady went on to the accompaniment of her clicking needle.e: "There was a young girl in our vil- lage wfaose father lost all his money through a bank failure, and soon after- wards died. Well, Rose had to sup- port herself somehow, tut about the only thing she could do was to paint. I liked her and wanted to help her. She was a fine girl, but very, very sensitive. "I thought and thought. Finally I decided to ask her to paint a picture of my brother Jack, who was going c.ut. to .Australia to live. Of course I talked it over with Jack first, and he agreed to my plan, which was to be a surprise for mother on her birthday. "The day the picture was finished Rose brought it to our house and we opened it in the parlor, for mother had gone to a sewing -society meeting that afternoon.

She had conte back for her spectacles, and we had been too interested in our secret to hear her, " 'Lefty doesn't like his eyes,' said Rose with a catch in he; voice. '!Well,' my mother said very gently, `if you can make them just a little mare smiling and sweet, I shall feel that I am looking, not at a picture. but at my own son himself' 'That isn't so hard,' said 'hose, smiling at ray mother, 'and i'll do it over until you're satisfied: "-When Rose was gone I didn't say a word to my mother for a minute or two; then I stammered, '1 didn't mean to hurt her feelings. You know I love Rose and want to help her.' " 'Of course you do, my dear,' said my mother.

An Austral- ian paper, after recording the incident, adds: "We are happy to state that she: was able to appear the following evening, in three pieces." O Canada!

No "schooner on a rock" or "flggy duff" concoctions prepared by the u,� 9killecl hands of a "cools o' th' mess" a il.l test their digestions up to,brealting strain, The culinary .department of the Hood speaks the last word' in up-to-date equipment. In fact, it is superior in itl arrangement to that of many or London's great "food palaces." • A'Special Staff of Cooks. From her kitchehe fourteen hundred meals • can be served in teu minutes, all smoking hot and without the neces- sity for hands touching them.. No coal will be used aboard the Hood for any purpose. Even the ranges in her kitchens and the •ovens in her bakeries are oil fired, Ie the kitchens, or "galleys,", as sailors call them, are. three huge ranges each capable of cooking for some five hundred men at one time. Her bakeries can turn out 1,400 lbs. cf bread daily, this being made not by hand but by an eieetricai. ly operated dough=mixing machine. Electricity, in fact does most of the work of the ship's commissariat. It runs the bacon -slicers, the sausage - making machines, the mechanical po- tato -peelers, the "tial. and chips" makers., and the many other automatic appliances with which the "galleys" are fitted. For home-made sausages, fish and chips. and many other delica- cies of a like kind, much 'beloved by sailors, but hitherto uteobtai'nsble at sea, are to be included in the bill of fare.. The old practice was for each mess to have whatever it fancied for dinner, the dishes being p-'epared by one o the men acting as "cook of the roes woe for the day, and taken by him to the galley. But in the Hood's routine the time-honored call of "cooks to the gal- ley" will have no place. The whole' crew are to be supplied from a central restaurant, wherein a staff of fourteen trained cooks will be employed. Providing Pleasure As Well. And instead '01 a great variety of 'tees dishes, prepared to suit individual tastes, there will be one general menu for the whole crew at each meal. In order to ensure each pian getting his proper share, all portions will be - weighed, hnd when dinner is served the food will go from theltitchens to the mess -deck's by means of lifts, so that it reaches the hien "all hot and. tasty." After each meal all plates, dishes, knives, 'forks, etc., will be 'col- lected and sent to a mechanical scul- lery, where' electrically driven wash- ing-up machines will cleanse them and, pack them away in racks in readi- ness for the,next time they are need- ed, In addition to these ultra -modern arrangements, for feeding them, the craw of the Hood will have life made comfortable for them' in other ways. There are recreation -rooms, prevision for cinema shows and ether con- veniences, which, though not absolute nnlievations, are yet carried to. greater perfection in her than iii any. previou ship. As the Hood is. 860 ft. long, and die, places, 45,000, tons, there is plenty of room aboard her for all -these things, The introduction of them is iu keeping with the modern trend for making Jack as cosy as possible whilst at sea, It must he remembered that his ship. is the sailor's. home. -He has to live in. her practically day and night for threo years at a stretch, and must make the best of whatever conditions he fields aboard. The Hood is about to replace the" famous Lion as flagship of Admiral Sir Roger- Keyes, commanding the battle -cruiser squadron, and experience has shown that our bluejackets prove none the less doughty lighters for hav- ing their "stand easy" time nada as pleasant as possible. to them, tretip,• - What Fleshed A young ar'tIst, 6131_013.'11, sketching trip, %�"`'ab ec e sturdy youngster, efeeeling.s ••� id and quite a big catch fot.ftt and for a. consideration induced &Jel to pose fora sketch. ttw minutes there came along a twill whom every sign proclaimed to .,. f€itl#4r of a 1arpily, *oa* 1,;£pit an hour hel stood watching fife #artist .ai t tt•:4, then burst out in admiring ppthusfasnii i.`\S'ell, pile it dist isn't, wonderful! lei is till X aver §i wt" "X.lilrce sine sketch, do you'?" the flat oz'l�clh,artist responded, with 4 pleased blus ' Slcet;ch?
