Nor +lid they remember it when Dr. BigeIns returned a second time that day. The cause of his visit was Godfrey. Mrs. Hammond had felt uneasy about him all evening. He looked feverish and re -ail i'!, aI- though he kept assuring her that he' was quite ail right. There was no thing, of course, that he could tell; her about the cause of his misery.' She did not even know that a ser tain stationer in the town had a lore ly daughter Mary. who sometimes, deigned to exchange magazines for small coins when her father was out or busy; nor would she have under-! stood had she known. What she! thought of was bronchitis, and when she finally called the nurse to take the boy's temperature the little ther-' mometer gave such an alarming re -1 port that the doctor was summoned, at onee. He talked vaguely of acute: gastritis or a little cold, and finally j admitted that he couldn't be sure; until morning, But outside of the sick roam het wondered to Mrs. Hammond whether he might have had some set of an upset. "Upset stomach?" inquired Mrs.! Hammond. "Something he'.=. eaten?" "Well, that, of course," said Dr.' Biggins; "but I was wondering if he might have had --might have had---' some sort of emotional shock," Mrs. Hammond stopped being Ivor ried long enough to laugh. "Well, his college report gave his' father and Tee an emotional shock! i But it didn't give him one! And his tire bill, too, Indeed, 1 wish that had: upset luim a little." j So he gave his order:; to the nurse,) and the convalescent little Ilam-' mends were left that night to the care of nursemaid and governess,) while Muggins was officially in+til-1 led in Godfrey's room, to which a! cot had been brought for her use. But she sat Op a little while to keep 1 an eye on him, for he was tossing: feverishly upon his bed. Shading the: drop light so that it would not dis- turb the patient, she took up her leather writing pad and the letter she had started that afternoon to her Meter. She looked up from her paper at the end of each line ur so, to make sure that the patient did not need her. The letter progressed rapidly. for she found herself able to think more clearly, in this immense midnight , tillnese e)l the hoarse,w - h"- had dolt(+ •'esterdav with all the aisle y noon's distractions about her. "I cannot see," she wrote, "that there is more motley in it than in nursing." Sho paused and stared dreamily into spare. After all, whet was there- to gain by the change?

But I will come out and look it over. because if it pays better I want to go into it. I think 'it would be easier, on the whole." Then she asked about the children, and told about some twelve and a half cent initial handkerchiefs she had bought at a sale, and signed her- self. "Four affectionate sister." And then, be,ause her patent: seemed quiet, she turned out the light and lay down or her cot. Lying there. she thought about her shoes that needed half -soling; and she wan- dered Whether wh:n she was fifty she'd still !,e n•,:: g or still he keep- ing. a roc ming house; and then site reminded her=elf that she'd better rot order arty new uni;orns until she :leeided— "Mary!" cried the voice .tn .int the i.e.i.

"What did. you want me to say?" she asked him in her conciliatory. Voice. "You might at least say, 'Fes,' dear.' „ For Muggins it was like a sudden plunge into ice-cold water, making her gasp.

"I do care," she declared truth- fully. i— He sought her hand again, and' clung to it satisfied, Canning Time. Stammer (emit. so quirk'.;; to us In Ontario this year that canning time was upon us al.me4t before the far. Vaca fires were out, But. of callrse, we mast (an. Our war lessers show- ed us the desirability of taking care- d our surplus fruit :ld vegetables,' auul if we lived in a oection fortunate enough to have a home :mint er a visit from a specialist We have had cienienstrat0a to us the sul:eriority of home -canned stair to that put up by commercial canneries. Of course, you teamed your rhub- arb by the cold water method. That is, you peeled and cut the rhubarb, packed it into sterilized ;ars, filled tile jars to overowulg with cell water,: using new rubbers, and settled tight- ly. Do not forget that gooseberries; may he canned in the sante way,! saving boeh time and sugar. And next fall if you want to experiment; with cranberries the:. too, may be' done by cold water method. When you open these fruits pour off; the water and cook down to half the, original quantity. Then add the fruit and cook until of the desired con-, sistency, sweetening just before re- moving from the fre. A pinch of soda added while the fruit is cooking will neutralize some of the acid and lessen the amount of sugar needed.: Now as to cold pack. Since the armistice has been signed and we feel we can speak our mind freely, I have heard a number of housekeepers say; they were rot thoroughly convinced; as to the superiority of this method; for everything,. These were women. who have been canning for years with', good luck. The girls of the canning: clubs and the younger women are, of course, strongly in favor of the new method. The others, while admitting it is best for vegetables, yet main lain that many fruits are just as well, done the old open settle way. And many maintain that the old way is much Ices work, Berries, however, keep their shape better and look better if done the cold pack way. To make the syrup for berries allow two quarts of water for every three pounds of sugar and boil five :chinutes, This makes a med- ium thin syrup. Wash and hull ber- ries, pack in jar, of course, jars and tots and'ru-ohers must be boiled up in water, adjust rubber. aril put on tops, turning down until the edge just touches the rubber. Then set in water which is boiling and boil ten minutes, Remove ;ars, tighten tops. invert to see if they do not leak, and store. 13 a: dark place. A good way is to save all your paper bags and slip each: can 111 a bag. This helps to keep the' color. Raspberries are apt to settle; a great -deal, To get around this let them stance fifteen minutes after the syrup has been added, when you will find they have settled enough so that you may add more berries. The fav, rite method of canning strawberries in our household is the. following: Use only fresh, firm, ripe and sound berries. Prepare berries,, Add eight ounces of sugar and two tablespoons of water for every quart; of berries. Boil slowly for fifteen minutes in an enameled or acid -proof: kettle, covered with a well -fitted cov-; er while boiling. Allow berries to' cool and remain over night .in cover -I ed kettle. Pack cold berries in glass! jars. Put rubber and cap in position,i not tight. Sterilize for ten minutes i in hot water bath outfit; if using al water -seal outfit or a five -pound) steam -pressure outfit, sterilize six, minutes; or if using an aluminum' pressure -cooker outfit sterilize for' four minutes. Remove jars. Tighten! covers, Invert and cool to test the joint. Wrap jars with paper to pre- vent bleaching, and store. Of course, you are going to make ,c:me of your berries into 500 pre- ncrves. • There are several ways of d1'ng (Inc• Hese is e1c, Pick the berries early in the morning, choos- ing weather which 'promises to be hot and dry for two or three days. Wash and hull berries and weigh. Allow equal quantities of sugar and berries. Place the berries on a shal- low platter. Make a.thick syrup of the sugar moistened with just enough water or berry juice to dissolve the sugar, Pour syrup over berries, cover berries with a glass end set in the sun until the berries are soft and the syrup has jellied. The time de- pends upon weather conditions. Then• store in fruit' jars and simpler for ten minutes in hot water bath. A second method calls for boiling the berries before placing in the sun, Equal quantities of fruit and sugar are used. Make a syrup by allowing two cups of water for every three pounds of sugar and boiling until it threads. Add the berries and cook fifteen minutes. Then spread on platters and put in the sun until syrup jellies. This may then be stor- ed as jelly, covering the top with paraffin. Raspberries, cherries and peaches may be preserved by the sun method. The cherries should be pitted before weighing, and the peaches pared and cut in eighths or quarters, according to size. Cherries are especially good. Use the juice of the cherries to moist- en the sugar for the syrup. One woman always stores some strawberries uncooked and preserved simply with sugar. This takes a great deal of sugar, a pounce and a quarter for every pound of fruit, but the re- sult is more than satisfying when The draws around. TI e fruit should be mixed with the dry sugar and every berry crushed, A wooden po- tato masher is a good "weapon" to use for crushing the fruit. Berries of all kinds, and currants may be kept in this way. The jars should be filled to overflowing and law rubbers used. 'Of (nurse, jars,. tope and rubbers must be sterilized. If you Have quantities of straw- berries bottle some juice to combine later with apple juice for jelly. Strawberry juice itself is lacking in pectin and will not make jelly. But mixed with two parts of apple juice it makes a pretty and delicious jelly. For raspberry jelly use equal parts of raspberry and apple juice. Contributed Recipes.

It sounds incongruous, but after one has spent an hour in Captain Derwent Wood's studio et the 3rd London General Hos- WWI, all sense of incongruity dime. pears, says London Answers. Isere it is that Captain Derwent Wood, A.R.A., R.1,M.C. (T), takes up the task where it las been left by the surgeon, and if ire does not heal ELS the surgeon has done before him, at least he ameliorates the lot of those who have suffered facial disfigure- ments through wounds, and makes life again possible. In the picture gallery you may see photos of these sufferers, before and atter—the former often terrible; the latter, at the worst, odd -nu more. Then there are the rows of plaster casts showing the nature of tl.a in- juries even more vividly. The task is to hide these injuries artifictlly and the modus Operandi is somewhat as follows: The patient on coming to the artist -surgeon, is al- ready heated of iris wounds. First, a plaster cast is taken, upon which the artist works with plasticine, moulding the damaged features anew. From this cast a mast: is made of copper- plate; this is fitted and then silvered. After this comes the enamelling of the mask. and this is where the art conies in. Several coats are applied to the metal surface, and fnally it is carefully and skillfully colored to re- semble the complexion of the wearer. At 0 little distance the features en - pear perfectly natural, and the decep- tion is complete at ten yards or so. Most of these masks are held in position by means of spectacles. which incidentally further aid in the decep- tion, and add to the comfort of 111e wearer. In this wary 114(0 Rosea, eyes, fore- heads, cheeks and jaws aro fashioned, and the patient, is able to go once more among his fellows without the fear in his heart that ho will he either an object of horror or of compassion.
