The wall space to be devoted to this piece of furniture is one thing to be considered. The kind of furniture the bookcase is to go with is another of vital importance. Not on!v should the style be congenial but the wood also. Should the books be of ordinary caliber of bindings and contents, an open case of shelves is quite suitable. It can be an unobtrusive bit of furni- ture dependent upon the colorful books to supply decorative elements In an apartment where space is de- cidedly iimited, many things must be considered. No large library could be housed in such a dwelling, but where books are numerous and the owner feels too attached to them mot to be surrounded by them, lining the walls with open shelf cases seems to be the one real solution.. The room will be made consistently smaller as all sides will be slightly diminished. The back- ground effect keeps the walls decora- tive. The old-time secretary in which a bookcase forms the upper compart- ment with desk and drawers beneath is again in style. It can afford bureau drawers, as well as desk and bookcase for & room whith must have the duplex use of living and bed ropm. This is the answer to the question 6f how to house a limited number of volumes in An apartment where there appears to be no available space for books. (Copyrixht, 1952.) Giving & Dinner. If one woman must be cook, waitress and hostess for & company dinner, a supply of double boflers will make the work much easier. Half an hour or longer before the guests are expeled, finish the cooking of each article to be served hot and leave it over boiling water. Soup and vegetables seem to improve by this process.

HO has not been delighted by the sight of a group of little wild crabapple trees huddled together like so many chil- dren? The rose - colored, spicy-scented blossoms reach out side- wise from under the forest trees, as if eager to greet You on your first early Spring walk. In the Winter the twigs are crooked and crablike in appearance, and this is the source of the name, but when the sflvery young foliage covers them in eariy April and the coral flow- er buds spread among the leaves, then through May the whole tree seems to burst into rose-colored bloom and all you see i a mass of flowers. There is a fragrance about these spicy flowers you can never forget. Before fruit trees were so plentiful, the ploneers gathered the little flat- tened yellow fruit and made it into jelly and preserves, There is a deli- clous wild taste in the jelly and the flavor is far superior to the cultivated apple. The fruit is not eatable, how- ever. Now, when you find these trees in bloom, you may break off an armful of the blossoming twigs and bring them home with you. The tree will not be injured and the fruit is rarely used for jeilies any more, except by those few who know its delectable flavor. There is little danger of the tree becoming extinct, as there is a wild crabapple tree for every region in the United States. Planted in groups in the corner in the meadow they are lovely. They do not look well nor are they happly alone. The tree is really a bush, not over 30 feet high. The bark is reddish brown, rather scaly. The wood is heavy, fine grained, but weak. The buds are small, bright, red and blunt, velvety beneath. The flowers are perfect and turn from white to & deep pink. They are spicy and very nt. These trees prefer the upland woods and flourish in moist, rich sofl. They are found practically all over the United States and Ontario. The tree refused to be domesticated, in spite of all the efforts of horticulturists. They dearly love to grow in thickets and on the edges of woods. You may transplant them with ease and do not have to bother about them. I know of nothing better to hide ugly places than a group of the friendly yet re- mote little trees. A few, planted, will soen have a group of their. children about them and the bees will swarm to the lovely flowers. There will be a bit of Spring in the group of trees the very first Spring days and blossoms, too, to bring indoors! What more can & tree offer than this? (Copyright, 1932.)

The date of Alice’s wedding was get- ting closer and closer. Nearly all her friends had entertalned for her before Lois was able to invite them to her home. So she was rather “put to it” to think of a new sort of shower. Nancy had given a “check” shower. The invi- tations were sent out on the squared paper. The tablecloths and napkins were of checked gingham and the games had been the sort that required & check and double check. The gifts had been checks of $2 each. With these Alice was able to buy one piece of furniture. The guests were relieved of the bother of hunting some small and sensible gift within the amount of money they planned to spend. And when the checkerboard sandwiches and checkerboard cake came in they voted Nancy the cleverest person ever. _Now Lois had to live up to & shower like that. She decided to put the stress on practicality, as Nancy had. But she never hoped to equal the originality. While she was reaching up to the pantry shelf to get a can of peas she had her idea. She would give a can- ned goods shower, another name Her invitations were soon written and in the mails. And then she was kept busy answering the telephone while her {.x’n:;lnel(bguanu asked k;ler just what was y & “canny” shower. t to be Scotch lndylhrlny? bt Would commercially canned goods put up in tin do?

AOCORD!NO to divorce statistics, women ask for the severance of the marriage bond far oftener than men do. This would seem to indi- cate that men fail as husbands more than women fail as wives, but this inference is probably not corréct becalise it has become a common gesture of gallantry in men to let their wives get the divorce no matter which one of them was in the wrong. I have known of several cases in which a husband permitted an un- falthful wife, to whom he had been kindness itself, to divorce him on the ground of cruelty in order not to publish her shame to thy world and to keep from branding his children with the stigma. WHEN we speak of & marrisge being & failure, it does not necessarily mean one that ends in divorce. Every marriage is a failure when the husband and wife do not love each other and find joy in companion- ship. Some of the worst faflures in marriafe in the world are made by men and women who continue to live together. Sometimes & man wrecks his matriage by his coldness and indiffer- ence to his wife. After he is married he absorbs himself in his business and he never shows her any affection or tenderness. He never does any- for her happiness or makes her feel that she {s anything to him but a household convenience. Sometimes a man wrecks his home by his stinginess or by his grouchiness or by his fault-finding by making himself a person who is impossible to live with. And many men wreck thelr mar- riages by philandering. M ANY women make failures of their marriages by their extravagance, by their high tempers, by their petty tyrannies, by their nagging. by their slouchiness, by their bad housel eeEm(, by their letting themselves get dull and unattractive, by their absorbing themselves in their children and taking it for granted that their husbands will be faithful to them like dogs, no matter how they treat them. As to which one has the most trials to bear in marriage, I think the woman has the harder part because, in the average family of moderate circumstances, she has just as much work to do and anxiety to bear as her husband has and in addition she has to undergo the agony of child- bearing and the slavery of baby-rearing.

We never know when thoughtless deed swer, for, of course, she didn't under- stand him, and she couldn't have an- swered if she had. She merely crept forward & few steps and in her big eyes, big for her size, anyway, was that same look of pleading and fright. Farmer Brown's Boy put the stick SATURDAY, MARCH 19, May hurt a friend, or serve his need —Farmer Brown's Boy. T took a lot of wood to keep the fire going under the big evaporator in the sugar house and one of the jobs of Farmer Brown's Boy was| to keep a supply always at hand. Outside was a great pile cut and ready for use, and this he would take inside by the armful. Most of it was sound. dry wood, but now and then there would be a stick that was hollow. It was one of these hollow sticks that Farmer Brown's Boy pulled from the pile to take in the fire. As he picked it up he had s fleeting glimpse of a Jittle brownish form darting in fright over the edge of the woodpile where it disappeared. He chuckled. “Gave you a fright, d‘dn't I, Whitefoot?" said he. "You must have been hiding in among those sticks. Well, there is no harm done. I didn't mean to frighten you. By this time you ought to know that you hnve nothing whatever to fear from me.” He went into the house with his arm- ful of wood and added it to the pile beside the evaporator. Then he looked to see if the fire needed more wood and finding that it did he picked up the hollow stick to thrust it into lhe“ blaze. As he did so he nocicecd;‘ a small hole midway of it. The stick was of good size and solid at both ends. But for that hole and the weight he would not have known that the stick was | hoflow. It was ay and wel(hev-i beaten, part of a long dead tree that| had been chopped down during the Winter and then cut up for firewood. Farmer Brown's Boy paused to loo) ot that hole before throwing the stick | on the fire. “Downy the Woodpecker must have cut this,” thought he. “It is just about his size and some time or other he made his home in here.” He prepared to toss the stick on the fire, but just then a slight movement near the door ceught his attention. He discovered & Mouse creeping in with big eyes fixed on him with such & pleading expression mingled with fright, that he paused with the stick still in his hands. It was Mrs. White- foot the Wood Mouse. In a flash he recalled the glimpse he had had of the frightened Mouse on the woodpile outside. This must be the same one. But why, when she was plainly trem- bling with fear, should she now be venturing in here when she might be safely hidden in a snug retreat? Then he thougm of the hole in the stick he still held, “I wonder!” he exclaimed aloud, -nd, Mrs. Whitefoot darted out in fright, only to reappear an instant later. | He put & finger in the hole and felt soft material in there.

Then as if mustering all her courage she darted to that stick and in that hole. Farmer Brown's Boy waited. He forgot the fire needed wood. He forgot that he had other work to do. Presently a pretty little head ap- peared and those pleading eyes gazed up at him. Then the head was with- drawn. Farmer Brown's Boy emitted a sigh, & deep sigh. It was a sigh of thank- fulness. “As sure as I live she has babies in there!” he exclaimed softly. “And In one second more I would have thrown that stick on the fire.” ‘There were babies in that hollow stick, six of them, and had not mother love been strong enough to overcome fear and bring Mrs. Whitefoot into that house in search of them they would have been burned to death.

Nearly all Spring vege tables have a high water content, but to be most beneficial, these liquids should be kept moving. When allowed to remain in the system they do not contribute to health. Chlorine is the agent which keeps the liquids of the body active. It drives them through and around the cells and takes from them the Waste materials. ‘The most available chlorine foods are raw cabbage, onions, spinach, raw ear- rots, cucumbers, radishes. There are many other foods rich in chlorine, but because of their solid content, they are unsuitable for our cleansing plan, since the cells cannot cleanse themselves if forced to take care of proteins and carbon solids. A systematic cleansing diet, to be most effective, must be limited to the cleansing foods. In addition to the chlorine group, there should be mag- nesium for laxation, sulphur to purify, potassium to correct acids and cleanse muscle tissue, sodium and iron for in- dividual cell and blood cleansing.
