And then she saw that she had come to the er.d of the road. Her lover did not remember her, but he remembered Paula.

But Paulawas a reality to hint, and no doubt it was the aPula whom he had loved when he had married her— not the Paula he had ceased t0 love. The doctor had said that he would re- gain his memory.

PLANNING THE LAYETTE. My three young sons have necessi- tated my obtaining considerable mis- cellaneous information concerning a layette. I have always preferred a simple, practical outfit, as it is less wearing on the mother to prepare it, and is so quickly outgrown. The money saved: this way can be much more advantageously used for a skillful doctor and nurse, a two weeks' complete rest for the mother, and the advice of a food specialist for ` the baby's feeding if the mother is un- able to successfully feed her baby. The baby's life and future health are too important to neglect giving him the best possible start, Three of each of the following articles are necessary, four would be She looked at the clock on the mantelpiece and saw that :it was five minutes past nine, She would have to decide quickly if she was still to save something out of the ruins of her life.l Paula would have to be sent for in any case.

Surely it would be better to return' now—go back to her husband, just as if nothing had happened: That might be possible, but only with the help of Treht rn.

And look- ing after verandah furniture is just one more task: That is why hinged furnishings, especially for the side`or. back verandah, prove so convenient. They also save space. A table hinged to•the-wall makes a handy place to do sitting -down kitchen tasks or to hold the sewing materials in the afternoon. It is well to have it - large enough to hold Sunday -night lunches. - 'Seats at either end of the verandah that let down are generally handier than stationary benches, as they are out of the way when not needed and shed 4rain and snow better than bench- es. Another advantage of hinged furnishings is that they are always ready for use—no storing away in the HID fall until spring conies. CAN GREENS FOR WINTER USE, To can kale or greens for winter use, one should be rather careful with every detail as a very poisonous bac- teria forms sometimes. To prepare the greens for canning, wash them carefully in cold water and blanch 4 to 5 minutes in boiling water. Tis allows them toshrink so that they may be packed very easily in the jars. The jars should be well filled, but not too 'firmly - packed , as they may not be thoroughly sterilized in the centre of the can if the mass is too firm. "To each quart jar add one teaspoon salt and what other seasoning desired, chipped beef or other meat; then ad- just rubbers in position and take one turn back. Process them three hours in hot water bath, or 60 minutes under 10 lbs. of steam pressure.
