Honey Molds—Molsten three even tablespoons of cornstarch with one- quarter cup of cold milk, and stir it into two cups of boiilng milk; add a pinch of salt, bring to a boil and let boil for ten minutes, stirring the while; then add one-half cup of honey, mix well and pour in wet molds. When cold turn out and serve with cream or plain, or with ground nuts sprinkled on top. Celery Soup—Cut up three stalks of celery, leaves and all; cook until ten- der, always keeping three pints of wa- ter over the celery. When thoroughly cooked, rub through a colander, using all the water; season to taste. Place finely rolled cracker crumbs in each plate before pouring over the soup. This resembles oyster soup. Banana Omelet—Put two tablespoons sugar in & small pan and shake it about so as to cover the entire bottom; cut one large banana in slices and put these on the sugar; heat up gently so as to caramelize the sugar (but not to burn it) and fry the bananas. Turn these and cook until almost melted. Put one-half teaspoon of butter around them. then add the yolks of two eggs well beaten, and let it cook slightly before adding the whites, which first should be beaten until quite stiff;” as soon as the latter are added, fold the omelet, because when the whites cook they puff up so much that the yellow part will not cover them, and the two parts cannot be served without being scrambled. This, of course, does not affect the taste, but only the appear- ance of the omelet.

A From her window she could see a number of well kept farms and neat farmhouses and what just then most interested her, in the bu%/s:d of each house swung a well filled line.of clothes, drylng in the crisp morning breeze. . M “Oh, dear!” she sighed, *all my neighbors have their wash out already and I don’t feel able even to begin mine. They will all think that I am This particular Monday morning Mrs. especially Seavey was t-eung blue and discouraged. jome weeks previously her doctor had advised her to move to the country, hoping that the out of door life and purer air would benefit her lungs, weakened by several severe attacks of bronchitis. Mr, Seavey after some time spent in looking for a place, had at last bought a small farm some distance out from the city, but near enough so that he could drive in each morning to his avork. They had moved the week before and with the moving and settling Mrs, Seavey had caught a bad coid, and this morning she was hardly able to dra herself around to get her husband ol to work and the children ready for school. But now that Dick and Mary bad gone with their books and dinner pails (the schoolhouse was nearly a mile distant) and the baby -was playing with his blocks on the floor, she felt that she could take the time to rest for awhile, especially as she really felt too weak to keep on her feet any longer. The expemse incurred in buying the place and in moving had taken all their savings and left them somewhat in debt, and she hardly felt able to af- ford to hire anyone to help her, so. It was no wonder that she felt blue as she looked out over her unknown neighbors' yards and saw that trey had already accomplished what she wanted to, needed te, but could mnot do. A fit of coughing and the clock as it struck nine prevented her from hear- ing a rap at her kitchen door, so she started in surprise as the door was | ‘unceremoniously opened and a tall wo- man, gowned in calico, and with a shawl over her head, stepped into the Toom. “Good morning, Mrs. Seavey,” said the newcomer. Tm Mrs. Blake, the third house down the road. Your lit- tle girl just told me that you were not feeling well, so as I some button- holes to make In these blouses for my boy, I just brought them over to do while we get acquainted. Have you got your wash done yet? I had mine out an hour ago.” “No,’ ’answered Mrs. Seavey. I felt so poorly this morning that I haven't even begun it yet. Indeed, I think I'll have to let it go for a few days until I feel better. “Now that's too bad,” rejoined Mrs. Blake. “Such a lovely drying day as it is, too, and youll probably need the children’s clothes before you can do them. [Ill tell you—you do these buttonholes for me, and I'll dGo your washing. No, don’t object. If you'll only do the buttonholes (I hate them) I'll be only too glad to wash. It tookk but a few minutes to put water on the stove to Heat, and to fill the tubs. “Now,” sald Mrs, Blake, “tell me where the clothes are, and I'll sort them while the water heats. Do you boil your clothes? I don't and I'm no particular friend to Aunty Drudge either. Any good soap used right will do, I say. Just get out the dirt and the sun will do the rest.” Mrs. Seavey’s fingers flew nimbly as she worked at the buttonholes, for she liked to sew, and Mrs. Blake worked no less vigorously at the tub, so it was not long before both tasks were finished. ve all hung out” A “I must run home and get dinner ready. The clothes will be dry by night an then your chil- dren can bring them in.” How can I ever thank you,” began Mrs, Seavey, but Mrs. Blake inter- rupted her. o “Don’t try to.

Now that Xmas is again approach- ing, I think those puzzled at the gift question can solve it easily for fifteen women friends as follows: Purchase one-half yard good quality linen; 83c; 1 spool No. 200 white thread 5 cents; 4 bead needles, 2c; 1 bunch each sky blue, yellow and silvered glass beads, at 5 cents a bunch, 15c; a to- tal outlay of 5sc—rendering cost of each jabot at less than ic. Cut the linen into pieces measuring 6 inches long by 3 inches wide. Fold the strip through the center lengih- wise. With. sharp sciseors snip off the corner from the bottom, this mak- ing a point. Now taper towards the top, leaving the cloth still folded, so that both sides will be identical. I then turn in about 1-4 inch hem, the linen being stiff it will not be nec sary to stitch the hem, pressing hard exactly with the finger sufficiently indicating | tance of about | the hem. Now at a di 3-4 inch apart T sew silvered glass beads, the beads forming a double pu pose, first, ‘a dainty border; second, holding the hem. Now for the forget-me-knot design. The flowers are formed so simply the work progresses very rapidly, as a jabot can be easily completed in ten minutes. With the knot of the thread on the wrong -side of the jabot take eight pale blue beads on the needle. Push needle back through the cloth at point at which it came through—the beads will thus form a small blue circle of themselves. Tack the circle with a stitch or two to hold in place. In the center of circle sew a yellow bead— when, lo! and behold! a flower is formed. Eilther grouped or separately scat- tered, the effect is stunningly pretty. STENOGRAPHER. A WORD FROM PAPA’S BOY.

GOOD ADVICE FROM BILLIE, Dear Editor and Sisters: Sweet Six | teen, since you are Married and Hap- | Py according to Betsey Bobbett, I truly hope you will obey your Billie. | Has anyone read Barnabetta, by Helen R. Maytin? It is now running in Smith’s Magazine. I began it the other night and often I laughed until tears gathered In my eyes. Other books | by same author are Tillie, A Menonite Maid, and The Crossways are very good. Have read The Winning of Barbara Worth, and liked 1t very well. But think Barbara was slow of g when found on the desert and four years old. Have just finished For the Sake of Her Soul, by Reginald Wright Kaufman. I am safe in rec- ommending this book to any mother or voung girl. It shows how a girl of the right spirit can go unscathed through the trials which beset her. Blanche: Do I understand that you begin your wash at 1 a. m. or 1 p. m. nd leave your clothes out over night, I.et us hope it is the latter hour, Some people rush themselves just to be ahead. I hope my article on Conser- vation o Energy is remuembered, How many people fail to regard that. How many women do rise from their beds at an unseemly hour to get thelr washing out on the line. I had a friend who was of this turn of mind who strove to be first In that line. Would wash in the morning and iron in the afternoon and some- times as late as ten o'clock. Begin housecleaning in March when the wind is raw and cold with sleeves rolled up above the elbows, then re- joice in saying: am all, through,” when the rest of us _had hardly be- gun. There came a time when this woman wanted that energy, but it was gone and could not return; her nerves were | shatiered and at the age of 44 her | mind and she died. It was to me. 1 hope we will ever remember that the conservation of a woman in the thirties makes the strong woman in the forties and fif- tles. Not long ago one of my friends, who |is on the shady side of fifty, was ask- “ml her age (the inquirer apologizing | for the same) and when told, the in- | quirer could hardly_believe it, and | suid, “Wonderful! ~No wrinkles, not | even crow feet } I laughed and said: “Tt must be | with our friend like the ol man whao saw the statue of Diana, looked it | over and turned away saving: | No corn, bunions!

Ao T RURAL DELIVERY SECONDS CRIM- SON RAMELER. | | Dear Editor and Friends: { Crimson Ramblers’ advice to young { women was fine, every word of it be- |ing true. Every girl who contemplates | marriage should Tead it over and over \again. and keep it in her dressing | room for future reference. How many pure and true girls have lived a miserable life with the young man who sald he could take a social glass or let it alone. If she had re- membered the lines we used to hear when young, “The lips that touch wine shali never touch mine,” what . dif- ferent life she wouid have l'ved! Yes, it is very true a young man who cares more for a social slass of intoxicating drink than Zor the love of some gcod and pure girl is not worthy of her, and such a young man should live a single life. There are a great many causes of trouble In this world, and the “king” of them all is Intoxi- cating liquor, which has put many a noble man behind prison b: and the electric chair has cla.\medmny of its victims. The young man who will decelve a pure girl or woman with his easy and polite manners after taking his social glass of the destroyer of hoth bod: and soul should stop and ponder Ang ask himself: “Am I doing my duty to myself and the noble girl before me?” There are very few drunkards com- pared with those who take their daily drinks, The man who is crazed by a few slasses causes mors trouble than the drunkard who sleeps by his miserable life away. The common drunkard was once good hearted young man and thought it no harm to take a glass now and then for manners. This is where that fellow with horns steps in and says: “Take another glass and have a good time with the boys. Never mind what mother says, or your best ;- drink and be hep: ld‘t_ apron- string folks control you! Perhaps some may I Xknow these things by experlence, but guch is not the case, as I do not use liquors or tobacco, and have been able to know how, to use my fellow man. (I hear someone say he is blowing his own horn, but truth will out). I know these things by observation in city and country. -The man who never takes the first glass will make & better husband, fatber and neighbor than the man who will tell you he can drink or let it alone. The only safe way to deal with deadly poison is to let it alone. Yes, girls, remember Crimson Ram- bler's edvice and when Charlie, Johnu- nie or Jimmie comes to see you with evidences of having taken the social glass, just draw the line and say to them: “No one is allowed on this side who has perfume in his mouth to take away the scent of what would destroy happy lives and comfortable homes. homes.* : ‘While it may be hard to give up a voung man of your choice, in after years you would say: “Thank God, I remembered the advice I_received in the Social Corner of The Bulletin, and hope others have listened to the mov- ing words.” I wish to thank Potlatch for the fine card she sent me while in Vancouver, B.

Dear Editor and Sisters: T want to say a few words about our scheols— couniry schools, especially. This is to the teachers, for T am sure there are teachers among us, and more who read this page. Do you, teachers, know what is go ing on on your school grounds during the recesses? Not long ago my little girl was tell- ing me something that had happened A WORD COUNTRY tat school. i “Why,” I asked, “does the teacher al- i { } I think | { low the boys to swear?” “She wouldn’t if she heard them, but she stays in the schoolhouse,” G— an- swered. It seems to me tha teacher is néeded as much on the playground as | she is ir the schoolroom. She should | be ready to direct the children's plays, to teach them simple, wholesome games. She should know what Is be- ing said, as well as what is being done. so that there will be no need for any child to run in to “teacher” and “tell on” some other child. I used to attend a country school, and T know that the most successful of our teachers, those who had the best | government an@ who won both the love | | and respect of the childien, were the ones who joined us in our ames, out- doors if pleasant, indoors If stormy, and who took care to teach us by ex ample quite as much during the Te- cesses as during the study hours, AUNT SERENA.
