About the House
MAIZE A COMFORTABLE LAWN.
SWING,
A sliding bed with a mattress ie
two parts, was discarded as a sleeping
arrangement because something went
wrong with one of the legs, so that
• the bed when stretched out, would not
stand satisfactorily.
Several of the family were for call-
ing the junk man, but a more ingen-
ious member of the group saw possi-
bilities in the old sliding bed.
It was taken apart so that there
were two good stout springs with iron
frames. Stout chains were purchased
and attached, and the hammock swing
suspended from the porch ceiling. The
mattress was covered with cretonne,
with a ruffle on either side, and
• pillows to match made.
The seat was so comfortable that it
was always in dernand. The other part
was taken and turned upside down
so that the erstwhile legs formed four
posts, three sides of which were cover-
ed with stout khaki cloth of tent
weight. This made a back, a head,
and a foot. This part of the mattress
was covered with khaki to match, with
a straight valance in front. Stout
chains hung the swing at the farther
end of the porch, and bright cretonne
cushions finished the article satisfac-
torily, so that it was even better than
the first one.
The expense entailed for the two
verandah swings was a mere trifle,
as cretonne was used which was in
the house, and only the khaki cloth
and heavy chain had to be bought.
True thrift consists in making good
use of what we have, so as to increase
our comfort, well-being and pleasure,
at the same time conserving our re-
sources.
THE ANSWER.
What makes a home? the timber and
the bricks?
Foundations strong? the style of
roof and room?
The furnishings within?. the builder's
tricks
Of making wood so many forms
assume?
Homes are not made of wood or stone
Nor all the things that men can
make thereof;
What makes a home where joy and
faith are known,
Where happiness and peace abide;
is—love!

The girl had many demands upon and something in his manner made
her time. Besides keeping house for Jim Franklin think that his late chief
her invalid father and her three had been doing himself rather well at
dinner. He stopped and bent over
Elsie, saying something with a fatuous
laugh. Jim saw Elsie draw back from;
him, startled. Then he sat up, thrust-
ing his pipe into his pocket. The side
path was deserted save for the girl
and Mr. Manson,
SuddenlyFranklin boundedt
his feet. Mr. Manson had caught Elsie
in his arms and was kissing her, de-
spite her struggles and stifled cries.
"Don't be a little fool!" Jim heard
Mr, Manson say. "There's nobody
about."
Then Mr. Manson felt a strong hand
on the collar of his coat and found
himself being violently shaken.
"That's where you're wrong!" an
angry voice said in his ear, "There is
somebody about, and he's going to
set about you!"
What happened next happened so
suddenly that Mr. Manson, despite his
twelve stones weight, felt himself as
a child in arms. For a few seconds he
had a wild impression of being on the
scenic railway, Then he came to the
conclusion that it was the water -chute,
as he fell with a splash into the lake,
where Jim had flung him.
For a moment Jim watched his vic-
tim as he crawled out, white with rage
and fear, and then he turned to Elsie.
"I didret know we were in the Am-
t Park," he 'd quietly. "Now
shall we go to Burmah or India?"
"Back to the Lucullus, please!"
panted Elsie. "My uncle is there, He
has been t • ' the ffi
agers to dinner. Mr. Manson was
there, but when he met me I didn't
know he was the sort he is. He's a
cad!" She rubbed her lips furiously,
"Let's forget him! What have you
seen this evening'!"
"Canada. I was two hours in Can-
ada."
"You found it so interesting, then?"
"I was waiting for you. You said
you might, be in Canada to -night. Miss
Payne—Elsie—if I went to Canada
really and truly and made good, would
you come out to me?"
She glanced quickly at him and
learnt what she had known all along.
He was very good to look at and he
was desperately in earnest.
"I think I should like Canada very
much," she said softly, "or India, or
Burmah, or any place where you
were!"
It was very late when they reached
the restaurant where Elsie had to
meet her uncle, but the stout, bullet -
headed man, whom Jim recognized as
Mr. Boulter, of the Boulter Line, was
in great good humor.
"Hallo, Elsie! Changed your part-
ner? Evening, sir! You're in the
Freight Department in London, aren't
you?"
Mr. Boulter prided himself on his
memory for faces.
"I was, sir!" •
"Have you left, then? What are you
doing now?"
"Nothing, sir. I haven't had time to
fix up anything yet. You see, I only
got the sack to -day."
"The sack! What on earth for?"
"I'm afraid that I'm no use in the
office, sir!"
"It isn't that at all, uncle," put in
Elsie. "It's just because Mr. Manson
had a down on him, and Mr. Manson
is a cad! Jim threw him in the lake
to -night, and serve him right, too!"
Elsie's cheeks were flaming. Mr.
Boulter's eyes twinkled.
"And who might Jim be?" he asked.,
"Mr. Franklin, then. He's been my
friend ever since you let me be your
secretary. And Mr. Manson is a hor-
rible man; and Jim is going to Can-
ada, and I shall go there, too, later
on, and—and--so there!"
• Elsie's eyes shone defiance at the
chairman of the Boulter Steamship
Line, who chuckled, feeling at peace
with all mankind—all except Mr. Man-
son, who had upset his favorite niece.
"Want to go to Canada, do you?"
he asked Jim. "And so you shall. And
to Burmah and to India and Australia,
as well."
Jim Franklin glanced at the facades
of the buildings before Min and
frowned.
younger brothers she was attending a
nearby ueiversity. The family income
was limited; but so long as the even-
ings were occupied with study and her
days filled with work she could not
earn in any of the usual ways the ex-
tra money that she needed.
In planning her scheme she realized
that she could study at a neighbor's
house as well as at her own—better in
fact, for there she would not have
three high-spirited brothers shouting
over their games or banging the piano.
Moreover, she could be earning some-
thing while she studied.
She wrote notes to all the young
married couples in the neighborhood
who had small children,—to those she
did not know as well as to her friends,
—saying that all her evenings were
free, and that she should be glad to
stay in the house with the baby while
the parents went out, She added that
for that service her charge would be,
fifty cents from seven o'clock until
eleven, and seventy-five cents for a
longer evening.
The plan succeeded from the first.
Most of the young married people in
the community were of modest means
and did not keep a maid. They were
glad to 'find an intelligent and reepon-1 person to stay in the house when
they wished to go out.
"Of course the baby never Wakes
up, but if he should Susan would know
what to do," was the way they ex-
pressed their approval of the scheme.
The business soon grew to satisfy-
ing proportions. The girl's friends
quickly told others of the plan, and in
a short time the project of keeping
house for sleeping babies was bringing
an income of three, four, and some-
times even five, dollars a week.

HANDY PIECE SHELF.
I think that mothers with many
garments to mend will appreciate this:
In my batheoom, over the door is a
foot -wide shelf. On this are three
or four -pound cracker boxes. I like
these best, but any large strong boxes
will do. There are marked on the
front with the kind of pieces they con-
tain, as "White," "Blue," "Plaids,"
"Gray," "Underwear," "Linings,"
"Wool," at. Each kind is rolled and
tied securely before putting away.
Sometimes a box will hold two kinds,
one in each side of the box and the
box has two names on the front, one
under the other.
When I want to patch my blue
apron, or little daughters plaid dress,
the lining of the good man's coat, or
big boy'slrousers, I can find the nec-
essary materials much quicker than
when I kept them in a "pieco-bag,"
and what I wanted invariably seemed
to be at the bottom.—Mrs. M. N.

(The End.)
Why Glued Joints Fail.
Every housekeeper has had the ex-
perience, to her deep regret, of her
furniture loosening up at the joints, due
to changes of temperature and atmos-
pheric conditions. In many eases
valuable furniture has lost its useful-
ness and been discarded for this rea-
son,
Thls con ion, however, is not al-
ways due to the above causes, it would
appear. There are numerous qualities
of glue, or adhesives, as they are
technically called, and the causes of
failure of glued joints may, in many
cases be due to the use of an unsuit-
able grade. The glue may have been
the most expensive procurable, but not
adaptable for the purpose for which it
was used.
This situation has influenced the
Forest Products Laboratories of the
Department of the Interior to conduct
a series et investigations into the
merits of various adhesives for differ-
ent purposes. Some twenty-six com-
mercial adhesives of the hide and caSe-
in classes have been Investigated, the
work including both mechanical and
physical determinations. Ageing tests
to secure information on the perman-
eaineleynof the adhr
esives were also unde
t .
If the Forest Products Laboratorlas
are able to secure results that will re-
lieve the worries of the home linkers
of Canada regarding the coming 00001
of their furniture at the glued joints
they will have earned a full measure
of appreciation and at the same time
will be in a position to supply invalu-
able information to furniture manu-
facturers.
Out in the Fields.
The little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday,
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play;
Among the bowing herds,
The rustling of the trees,
.Among the singing birds,
The humming of the bees,
The fears of what may come to pass,
I cast them all away,
Among the clover -scented grass,
Among tbe new -mown hay,
Among tbe husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod, •
Where ill thoughts die and good ere

Out in the fieldwith God.

We subscribe to a large number of
farm and dairy papers and magaziues.
After reading, my husband files some
of these, and out of others cuts ma-
terial he wishes to save. Then they
are left for me to dispose of.
I ‚save and file various household
articles and recipes for my own use,
and then cut out any large pictures of
animals. I find these in the advertise
ments and in the illustrated articles.
I save pictures of tows and bulls of
the different breeds, poultry, clOgs,
horses and other live stock. Sonia are
in colors, but most of them are not.
They are all put into a box and saved
until needed. Around Christmas time

Turkey Drops Out.

The Treaty of Lausanne set up Tur-
key as an independent republic, the
nations of Western Europe agreeing,
at least for the time being, to subdue
their rivalries at the Gateway of Asia.
Moreover, there Is no longer an ab-
solutist Sultan, but a rather weak
democratic Government, residing in
the hills of Anatolia—a Governmeut
that has trouble enough holding it-
self together without stiffing up for-
eign difficulties-. Even more import-

fact was eomo.,,,trated by the casual
manner ;..z which the Francis Pazila-
ment, called for the purpose of con -
Blearing Premier Herriot's London
agreements, else ratified the Lausanne
Treaty, previously approved by Great
Rain, Italy, and Japan.
Incidentally, it was only a few days
ago that the British Government sub-
mitted to other nations a proposal to
demote the Constantinople embassies
to legations. Sending Ambassadors
out in the hills to little) Angora has
not even been seriouslly considered.
And In Constantinople itself a Minis-
ter is regarded— at least by Britain,
whose interest in the Asian Gateway'
is greater than that of any other na-
tion—as quite sufficient.
Turkey to -day is a sintal and insig-
nificant republic, situated by chance
at the convergence of several of the
world's greatest trade routes, But it
is not strong enough to give trouble,
and may never be again—unless the
big nations go there looking for it.
