Many women regard a hammer as an alien article, capable of usefulness only in masculine hands. How wrong they are! Screws have a way of seeming to| shrink away from the holes made for | them in the past. In reality the hole| has become enlarged. Many an ironing | board slips from its “moorings” because the screw hole is in this condition, A | remedy for this is to put a match, toothpick or splinter of wood in the| side of the hole before replacing the| screw. When the screw is put in now | it will hold.

CH ATEAU—created by a small Canadian dairy for a famous Canadian hotel—once was known DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX DEAR Miss Dix: Have my friends the right to impose on me? Certain of them continually borrow money from me that they never TEpAy. I find that much of this borrowed money is used to entertain others, and I have gone without things myself to give them the money they wasted. At first T accommodated them because I felt I couldn’t hurt their feelings, ‘and now when I refuse them they accuse me of not being a tm(:m!;lend AN Answer.—There is no truer proverb, Jean, than the old one thay warns us that when we lend to a #riend we lose both our money and our friend. Why people should resent paying a“debt to a friend more than they do to a stranger, or consider it a less binding obligntion, no one knows. They simply do, that's all. And there is no surer way of allenating friends than by trying to collect the money you have let them have in some time of need Everybody has had thie sort of experience. Lend John $50 and he will consider you a Shylock if you ever mention the matter to him again Lend Tom your automobile and if he breaks & spring he will never like you again if you send him a bill for the repairs. Perhaps this is because mo many people regard friendship as only & graft. They have no conception of friendship as an unselfish affection which asks nothing in return. but affection and companionship, which gives rather than takes, and which finds its happiness in adding to the happiness of another. That kind of friendship, the friendship that comes to us openhanded in our hour of need, that pours out its sympathy upon us and rejoices and weeps with us, that gives us mental and spiritual substance, is one of the most beautiful and satisfying relationships in the world.. None of us has lived in vain if we have that kind of frienid. None of us can ever be lonely if we are blessed with friendship like that Tea punch of a good flavor can be| made in the following way: Infuse| | about four teaspoonfuls of tea with two | pints of water, which is freshly boiled. | Let stand for about four minutes, then | pour over five ounces of sugar and let cool. Put into a Funnh bowl and add a lump of ice, half a cupful of lemon juice and three cupfuls of grape juice. Put two or three fresh befries of any kind on top, a little mint, and serve very cold DEERFOOT FARM SAUSAGE Economical meals are easy to plan "round this famous sausage only to those who paid $14 or more a day to stay and to eat at that hotel.

Serve it with crackers " Bordens ONE OF BORDEN’S But that sort of friendship is far different from the greedy. grasping friendship that makes of out friendship a tool wherewith to “work' the friendship that takes advantage of our affection, that makes it hai to favors asked of us, that imposes upon us because we cai not defend ourselves from our fricnds &s we can from our enemies. to say “no Then there is the friendship whose principal function eonsists in are the friends who make you do their enter- ng some guest of theirs {o your dinner party or hunt up jobs for their.sons or their passing the buck.
