It is not necessary that a house-
wife should be a housewife and
-nothing more, not in this age.
In the 'old days in this young.

her own family circle. John's meals)
the childrens' feeding and clothing,
the managing of the house, -the spin-
ning and weaving of the cloth which
•• went into the making of the clothing
Tor her family and the sewing and
making and mending took up a wee
man's time to the exclusion . of al-
most everything else.
But in those old days there was
little else to take up a woman's
time and' attention. Her world was
very small, it consisted of the little
community in which she lived, her
own family and a few other famil-
ies. What was happening twenty.
five miles distant didn't interest her
for she seldom heard anything a-
bout' it. Daily newspapers were un-
known,
nknown, they had therm in the cities,
of course, but they never came to
the outlying districts. An occasion-
al family took a weekly, which
brought news from faraway points,
but even these were not the general
rule.
The rest of the world seemed very
far away and no particular interest
was taken in it. If matters went a-
long all right in ones own commun-
ity one was perfectly satisfied, and
the attention to such ,public affairs
as needed attention was left to the
men folk. Women attended strictly
to the home and its affairs.
But things are different now.
Scarcely a family but takes a daily
newspaper and women read these as

chance of learning the news of the

Oven Poached Fillets
Oven -poached fish fillets make a
very tasty dish, and, what's more, a
dish that is simple and easy to pre-
pare. here's the way to make it, as
outlined by the cookery specialist of
the Dominion Department of Fisher,
ies:
Take from one to two pounds of
fillets, which maybe cut into portions
of three to the pound or left in the
strip as desired, and place them in an
oiled glass or earthenware oven dish.
Sprinkle salt and pepper and two
tablespoons of lemon juice over the
fillets and put dots of butter on top.
Then put the dish into a medium ov-
en, 350 degrees, and allow the fish to
poach gently for from fifteen to
twenty minutes, according to the
thickness of the fillets. Then the fish
is ready for the table—tasty, easily
digested, healthful, healthful both
because it is so easily digested and
because fish foods contain vitamins
and other substances which the hu-
man body needs,
Oven -poaching is really oven -
steaming and it has this advantage,
among others, that it involves no
waste of the flavouring juices of the
fish such as oceans when steaming is
done over a kettle of boiling water.
The juices flow out into the cooking
dish and make a gravy in which the
fillets may be served, or the gravy
may be used in making a 'fish sauce.

Hcllandaire Sauce
Hollandaire Sauce is popular with
fish dishes, Here's a good recipe:
1-2 cup of butter, 2 tbsps. of flour,
t pint of boiling water, 8 egg yolks.
Lemon juice to taste.
(Melt half the butter. Sift in the
Dour. Stir and cook together, adding
pint of boiling water and whisking
until very smooth. Begin adding the
butter, a small piece at a time,
whisking each piece in before adding
another until all the butter is incor-
porated. Draw aside from, the fire
and• edd the beaten egg yolks just un-
der: the boiling point, whisking 'the,
sauce as it thickens.. Do not place it
where it can boil again or the sauce
will curdle. Add lemon juice to taste.
This sauce should be a thick yellow
sauce like a custard with slight acid-
ity but not sour, There are many
other methods ,of tnalcing this sauee,
but this is the most simple and :suc-
cessful one for the housewife to fol-
substances themselves. low.

HOMESICK
Weary am I of the constant grind,
Of struggle day by day;
I want to go back to a quiet spot
And live in a quiet way;
Back to a garden quaint and old;
Where flowers grow and bloom,
And on the twilight, breezes spill
A breath ,of sweet perfume;
Where bird to bird sings unafraid
Beneath the sheltering leaves;
For sun and moon and stars and
night
By lonesome spirit grieves.
Give him who wills the crowded' way;
Give me the dew -kissed sod.
The crowd to me means. restlessness;
The garden—rest—and God.

Of yonder lake; a half-moon hangs

A low, grey fence; by pools the

And in the reeds the blue mists rise;

"Nothing truer was ever said than that you can't get more
out of food than you put into it, so I always feel that
you're cheating yourself in some way when you try to get

"We always use Five Roses Flour at home . , , for cakes,
pastry, bread, and everything else , . and I ant quite con-
vinced it means economy in the long run, for it always
gives good results and such a satisfying and appetizing
flavour to foods that everyone enjoys them.
"Five Roses gives a bigger yield per bag, too, than
ordinary flours, so I treat my fatnily to the best and save
money at the same time."
