QUEiRY`
Don't say that even now there creep
Long shadows on the. lawn--,
It seems bat one rose -scented hour
Since Birdsong woke thie dawn.
I meant to do a host of things:
A little frock to hem,
And baby socks• to fold and darn --
A dainty, heap of them.
I planned to sweep and dust to -day
And bake a cherry pie.
I only briefly watched" the thrush
That taught her young tto fly.
The pansies looking up at me
Deserved a weed or two,
And there were tenders vines to train
Before a high wind blew.
The yellow -vested honey bee
Delayed me with its song,
And buds were opening in scores--
Yet
cores—Yet did I tarry long?
The far, blue heavens lifted up
My very heart at dawn,
.A.nd I have 'been so glad, but yet
Where 'hat the sweet day gone?

1 QUESTION
Yesterday I stopped to stare
Myself right in the face.
I asked myself this question,
"Have you been in disgrace?"
1 found myself replying
In words both firm and true,
"Yes, you've been a long, long way
Fom whet you often do.
You've let a lot of foolishness
Besmear your once clean name,
And things you've done could never
Bring anybody fame.
I asked myself .for counsel,
,And found it clear and bright,
"Just turn around and .start again,
Do 'everything a -right:"
So now I'm on the uphill trail,
Which may seem hard to me,
For I'm a long way where I am,
From what I ought to be.

AREN'T WE ALL?
"I saw you talking with that man,"
Said one chap to his neighbor,
"I would have warned you, if I could,
To note his strange. behaviour;
You see, he's just a trifle queer,
Not serious or ailing,
But in some things his mental grasp
It seems is surely, failing."
The other smiled and anwered, "Well,
That proves lit is our brother;
Are we not all a trifle `;queer
In one way or another?
Some things you do seem queer to me
And look a trifle foolish,
While I, no doubt, at times appear
To you a bit too muleish.
"Some ,folks: have queer religious

OLD HORSES
Louise Darcy
Old horses turned out in the sun
Make me feel so content
Because someone took care to see
How their last ',days were spent.p
Somehow I think they •like to see
A roof of summer sky,
Green trees that spread their cool
green arms
Full as •lunch as I. '
How peacefully they crop at grass
Or roll in scented clover,
Remembering good days of work
That now in age are over.
I want to find a meadow, too,
When busy days are done,
And fill my hours with miracle
Of wind and sky and. sun.
THINK RIGHT
Think smiles, and amilea shall be;
Think doubt, and hope will flee.
Think love, and love will grow;
Think hate, end hate you'll know.
Think good, and good Is here;
Think vice — its jaws appear,
Think joy, and joy ne'er ends;
Think gloom, and dusk descends
Think faith, and faith's at hand;
Think ill, it !stalks the land,
Think peace, sublime and sweet,
And you that peace will Meet.
Think fear, with brooding mind,
And failure's close behind.
Think this; "I'm going to wins" •
Think not of what has been,
Think "Victory'; and think "I cant"
Then you are a winning man!.

HOW TO KEEP BUTTER ,
FRESH IN THE HOME
No matter how good butter may
be when purchased, care should be
taken to retain its sweet, delicious
flavour.' Butter should be stored in
a cool, dry place away front Any
foods which have a distinct odour
or flavour as it readily absorbs for-
eign flavours, It should he kept. in
a covered -container or be left in the.
parchment paper in which it is
purchased.
The best place to keep butter is
in the refrigerator. If one is not
available the butter should be stored
in, as cool a place as possible. Butter
melts quickly at .high temperature
and during the hot weather, in the
absence of a refrigerator, the sug-
gestion is given ter tie a cord secur-
ely around each print of wrapped
butter to keep the wrapper in place.
Then put the saints in a crock or
ether container and cover with a
plate, weighed down with, a stone or
brick. The next step is to make a
brine of salt and water, used in the
proportion of 2 cups. salt. to 1 gal-
lon of boiling water; Cover the but-
ter with the cold 'brine and place
the crook in a cool room. Add more
brine, if necessary from time ' to
time, to keep the butter covered with
the salt solution. - Another sugges-
tion for storing a few prints of but-
ter, for a short time is to wrap the
paper -covered prints' in cloths wrung
out ea a, salt and water solution and
keep the butter in a cool place. But-
ter may be storedsatisfactorily by
packing it in .a well -scalded crock or
jars covering the better with a clean
white cloth wrung out of boiling
water, then spreading a thin layer
of salt over the cloth,
SERVING SPINACH RAW.:—Raw
spinach makes delicious sandwiches.

STEAMING IN DOUBLE BOILER
rias any busy mother put her pud-
ding to steam right into the well -

the remains can be put in the boiler
again the next day and re -heated.

REHEATING PUDDINGS. --When
wanting to use a-: pudding, such as
cottage pudding, a second day, re-
heat it by taking a paper bag, . pour-
ing water on it and wetting on all
sides, then after emptying out the
water but the pudding in the bag,
place on a pie tin and put in the
oven. This -wiII steam the pudding
as though it were fresh.

When preparing a chicken for roast-

EGG LORE,—Cracked eggs may
be boiled if wrapped in a screw of
paper. Lightly tap the widest end of
an egg when breaking to cook, There
will never be a broken yoke.
If only the white of an egg is
needed, puncture- the shell letting
the white pour out, then seal egg
with wax paper. If kept in a cold
place the yolk will stay fresh and
moist for days.
To coql hard-boiled egg .-,quickly,
place in" cold water, crack shells,
then remove shells altogether.

We are sure you will find this
jam a real treat in months to come

There is no long boiling time to

Bottled fruit pectin does away with
all that and insures you of a jam

If it's not looking too far ahead

NOT BUIL
SOFTER SHADOWS
Baby's blanket on the lawn is a,flne reflector. Note the eoft, pleating light
effect it produces here. Use such a reflector when yen can, especially when
taking informal portraits. .
pr we compare a picture of a snow
scene with almost any summer
picture, we observe a marked d!f-
Terence in the shadows. In the sum-
mer picture, shadows tend to be
strong and black. In the winter pic-
ture, shadows possess 'beautiful
clearness and transparency, and the
effect tends to be quite pleasing,'
The reason for this difference is
thatsnowon the ground is a flue
reflector, which casts light into all
shadow areas, and brightens them.
Iu sunvner, green grass does not
have this same reflecting power, and
therefore, shadows are darker.
However,oven in summer we can
brighten the shadows or a subject if,
we use somesort of improvised re-
flector. A book or newspaper held in
a person's lap will often serve is,
such a reflector, helping illuminate
the Rice and soften shadows there.
If a subject Is placed near a wall of
a white house, and stands so that the
wall refects light to the shadow side
of his face, a more pleasing picture
may be obtained. The baby's blanket
on the lawn is an excellent reflector,
which softonssliadows in the child's,
face and clothing.
Soft, transparent shadows are
generally desirable in an informal
portrait, especially if wo want a
truthful likeness of our subject.
Open shade—as on the shady side of
a house—often provides a suitable
lighting, Time subject in open shade
ie illuminated by light reflected from
the slcy, instead of direct sunlight.
Naturally, since this light is weaker,
exposure should be increased to
