Last Chance
By
JOHN T. KSIERAN
One a more chance to play his
old role! One more chance to put
on the only thing left of the days
when he was hailed as the World's
Greatest Clow, as Arssd, the Chil-
dren's delight.
In a flan' Arse( thought of what
was in his trunk, lot front his shab-
by tenement room he could bear
the little fellow downstairs be-
wailing his fate. The circus, par.
;Mel And it was passing a block
down, just far enough away that
he could hat sec it, but near en-
ouGb that he could hear the thrill-
ing rumble of wagon wheels and
the delighted shouts of the other
children. But to share 'in the feast
of joy was denied the little fellow.
A few days before an errant truck
had crushed his leg, and there he
lay, imprisoned in a heavy cast.
* *
To \rsel the .rumble of wheels
brought back :memories. Again the
smell of sawdust was in his nost-
rils. The stirring musk of the cir-
cus rang in his ears. He saw the
big tent, the prancing horses, the
th. u'ausl, of people laughing at
his antics, shouting his name—

By Gwendoline P, Clarke
Now let's think about Christ-
mas, shall we? Christmas, you say?
Well, why not? Fall fairs are over,
Thanksgiving is past, we have bad
our Indian summer, we are back
on standard time, so why shouldn't
we think of, and plan for, the last
big event of the year? To tell
you the truth I have had it in mind
for several weeks and have already
purchased a box of Christmas
cards and a couple of Christmas
gifts. T have a feeling that ordin-
ary, esrryday presents are going
to be Lard) to conte by at reason-
able prices later On. Daughter is
also Christmas -minded and her
knitting needles are busy all the
time. She was here for Thanks-
giving as were also other friends
from a distance. These from a
distance carte unexpectedly so that
on Sunday our dining -table looked
more as if it were set for a thresh-
ing gang,
* * *
On Monday some of us took
a trip up the road to take a look
at our new highway that is still
under construction—and that is
putting it mildly. We never know
when we start out from this end
what we shall find at the other—
or whether we shall get through at
all. This time we found a steam
shovel at work chewing its way
He wondered again what made
him feel so strange. ilut then as
he looked at himself in the dingy
mirror he forgot everything. Ile
was Arses, the Children's Delight.
Suddenly he almost collapsed.
The flare of strength that had
buoyed him up puffed out.
Suddenly a sound re -aroused
his flagged mind. Incredulously
he listened. Was it just a partof
this strangeness that had come
over hint? Or was it really a cir-
cus band? Just out,:idc1 They
were pitying his march. The Cir-
cusmen's March!
Ile relaxed, happily. The boy
was getting his circus after all.
Shouts of joy were coming front
him. For the little fellow was
looking out the window. almost
crying again he was so excited
and thrilled.
"I wanua dance," he exclaimed,
looking down at his cast. He saw
one of the bandsmen conte into
the house. In a minute or two he
came out again and the halal stop-
ped playing. He said something
to the others and then they started
playing again.
The boy looked puzzled. He
listened attentively for a moment.
Then:
"That first piece was so preff st
made you ?sutra dance of sometime.
But this one is different. Gee! It
sounds like somebuddv was dead."
Good Measure
"I always believe in weighing any
words before speaking," said Mrs.
Hopkins.
And you don't give short weight
either," replied her husband.

clear across the road preparatory
to laying a culvert. We went as
far as we could go, then turned
tail, and approached the job by
way of a detour to find out what
was going on. We found plenty of
activity. The machinery was work-
ing at a spot where they had
struck quicksand. Tile had been
laid along one side 01 the road
and all kinds of fill—dirt and
gravel—had been dumped on the
road. But still the road -bed was
like a sponge to walk on. It really
gave one the queerest feeling. I
was almost afraid to lift one foot
after the other—that is until I
remembered that heavy machinery
was continually passing over the
spot, and since each piece of
equipment must weigh a good
many tons I thought there was
just a chance the road -bed would
not give under my weight! Any-
way daughter and I took a chance
as we wanted to watch the big
bulldozer at work—the men were
off at another place watching
some other machine. The bulldozer
was going up and down a huge
hank. pushing dirt ahead of it on
to the road for more fill. It looked
as if it must surely take a nose-
dive but of course we knew it
wouldn't — the caterpillar treads
,ole care of that.
1raven't we been having the
most wonderful weather and isn't
the country lovely these clays? I
think we should all take a little
time off some time and take ad-
vantage of every chance we get
to see a little of our own native
scenery. Maybe it isn't necesary to
go very far afield — sometimes no
further than our own backdoor.
The stain thing is to have "seeing"
eyes. - -

Ansi speaking of scenery—if yon
get the connection—what do my
readers think of the Battle of the
Skirts? Of course we will leave
the sten 0111 of this little discus-
si'irt--what I want to know is
what the ladies think of it. Per-
sonally, I am all in favor of the
longer Item-line—if it doesn't go
to extremes. Dresses the way they
were may be all right for five-
footers—all they have to do is
shorten them to snit themselves,
but take women like myself ---five
feet eight --we never find anything
long enough. Now it will at least
give us a little Leeway whether
we finally decide to have thein
long or short, And after all, ladies,
you -will admit that the longer
hem -line will cover up a few nuts
and such like in these days of
dearer stockings. But, of course, if

TABLE TALKS
..411 About Honey
Honey is lcnolvn as Nature's sweet.
The ancient- Greeks who used
looney, called it "nectar of the
Gods."
The color and favor of honey
vary greatly according to the type of
flower from which the nectar has
been collected Tastes, vary greatly,
. some like mild delicate honey while
others prefer that with a pronounced
flavor.
All honey (except thatpacked in
glass containers) shipped from one
province of Canada to another is
required to be classified as to color
and graded as to quality, The larger
portion of honey sold locally is also
graded.,
The color classes for honey are:—
white, golden, amber and dark, Color
does not affect the grade. Color is
however, an indication of flavor, for,
as a general rule the darker the
honey the stronger the flavor.
Honey is sold in both granulated
and liquid form.
"Pasteurized" honey, which is of
creamy texture, has been treated by
the controlled application of heat to
a point. where all yeasts responsible
for fermentation are destroyed. For
this reason, it will keep indefinitely.
It is packed in plants registered
with, and operating under the
supervision of the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture.
When honey is graded, the grade
and the color classification must be
shown on the container, Pasteurized
honey is labelled as such.
No. 1 grade of good flavor, free
from foreign material and with good
keeping is the best grade for table
use.
No. 2 grade honey may have traces
of pollen or wax. The keeping
quality is not as good as No. 1 but
it is of good flavor,
No. 3 grade ntaY not be of such
good flavor as higher grades and
may have some pollen or wax. It has
poor keeping qualities and is not so
good for table use but is excellent
for baking.
