m House WIFE and HER ACHWTTES

GOD HEARS PIAYII If radio's slim fingers Can pluck a melody Prom night and toss it over A continent or sea;

It petalled white notes Of a violin

Are blown across the mountains Or a city's din;

If songs, like crimson roses. Are culled from thin, blue air; Why should mortals wonder If God hears prayer? —M.issionary Monthly

Safety is an offspring of caution.

Many quarrelsome people l" nercly tired people.

The public never knows what it Ilnts until it Bets it.

A highway robber is more to bi preferred than a sneak thief.

Women dres for men to look at and other women to talk about.

Some people map a straight course—i.hen run around in 01r6l¢5~

A brave man is often a desper- ado, but a bully is always I 00W‘ ard.

It is more profitable to reckon up our defects than to boast of our attainments.

When a man's wife gets so she cm read him like a book it's time for him to tum over a new leaf.

Glory is bought at the cost of happiness, pleasure at the 605B 0f health. and favors at the cost of independence.

A Damp Chimney

If a chimney is damp a fire will not burn readily. when this is the case, roll up a piece of news- paper lightly, light it and allow it to blaze as it goes up the chim- ney, just as the fire is lighted.

Cause of _ Poor Drafts

insufficient height of a. chimney is the common cause of poor drafts and dsad fireso Chimneys should be of sufficient height so that the air currents are not cut off by the roof of the building, or by adjoining and near-by build- 11185- ' _ Laying Bricks

The standard size brick is 2%" x 3%" x 8". Laid flat four and one-half bricks will cover one square foot of floor area. Whm laid 0n edge. seven bricks are re- quired for a square foot. This allows for quarter-inch joints which should be filled with a cement grout.

Ducbcsefs Music-ail Party

Since his return from holiday the Prince of Wales has been tell- ing his friends of the delight he took in the l-fugarian gypsy music and dancing, which made his stay in Budapest so pleasant (says the Daily Telegraph.) Ari attempt was made to broadcast from Hungary one of these entertainments. but the transmission was not perfect. So now a special troupe of dancers, and a violinist the Prince greatly admired, have arrived for one month. ‘

The Duchess of York, who is recognized as the most musical member of the Royal Family is also keenly interested in this Hun- garian music. and is making ar- rangements to hear it at an early date. l-ler Royal Highness greatly admires the playing of Colombo, the violinist. formerly cf the Royal Court of St. Petersburg. who is the leader of all this Hungarian music in London. He has had the honor of being invited frequently to her Piccadilly home, where he will again play to her Royal High- ness and her guests this autumn.

“A REAL GEORGE"

“He's a real George." This was the comment last week of the few people privileged to visit the new

his resemblance to his father.

George. I learn from official sources, is among the probable names of this latest member of the Royal family: Nicholas is an- other. A third name may be David. afmr ..his uncle, the Prince of Wales.

Plans for the chi-‘stening are al- ready being made (says the Daily Telegraph.) The middle of Novem- ber. shortly after the Duke of‘ Gloucester-s wedding, is suggested. The ceremony is expected to take place in the private chapel of Buckingham Palace.

Flowers arrived literally by van- l6ads for the Duchess. 'I‘wo vans were unloaded outside her house. They contained quantities of magniflcant roses, dark red and yellow. White flowers included lilies and chi, anthemums, and among the blue and mauve flowers

Bouquets were also brought by chauffeurs in private cars. There was a long continued ya ion of blooms.

All the colours gave the effect of a rainbow against the all-white walls qt the Duchesss bedroom. The task or arranging the flowers was a lengthy onc-

Cuahion for Lady Alice Scott

A beautifully hand-quilted cushion in pale rose belge,.which has been accepted by the Queen as a wedding present for the Duke of (“oucestcr and Lady Alice Scott is at present on view at the Cale- donian Station Hotel, Edinburgh, where an exhibition of hand-quilt- ing done by women in the dis- tressed mining areas of South Wales and the North of England.

The exhibits are mostly in pastel colours, pale pink and blue and green, with white and beige being those most in favour. An ex- quisite bed-quilt in green lined with pink has been chosen by the Duchess of York, while the Queen of Spain has chosen a white one. Quilted velvet dressing-gowns look charming as well as cosy; motor rugs, pram covers, and quilted cushions are also on sale, a favor- ite design being the Tudor rose.

Mrs. Shields. along with Lady Carey, has arranged the exhibi- tion.

The Winter Coat

When buying the winter coat, do not think that the weight of the coat determines its warmth. A light-weight fluffy material is often-times warmer than a much heavier garment.

Pancakes Rub the griddle with a small bag of salt instead of using grease and the cakes will be cooked with- out smoke or odor.

Gram Stains Grass stains can often be re- moved by soonging the spots with wood alcohol.

HELPFUL HINTS To have a smooth ironing board tack the cover on while its is wet. It will dry- gradually and be per- fectly even.

Soak a few sheets of paper in lukewarm water in which several drops of ammonia have been added. squeeze out thoroughly and scatter freely over your rugs. Then sweep. The ‘paper collects the dust and holds it instead of scattering it over furniture and walls.

When knitting babies‘ wooly coats, bind the neck with ribbon. This prevents the stretching which happens with frequent washing.

Boll the new clothesline for a half-hour before using. It pre- vents stretching, and it will last longer andwill not tangle.

Chamois leather is the very best lining for tea cosies. as it is a better retainer of heat than any other material. If you have any pieces use them up this way. You wi‘l find your pot to tea. will keep hot throughout the meal. -

A knife dipped into hot water will cut the meringue of the pie without marring it.

SUCCESSFUL BREAD-MAKING Always sift the flour before measuring and measure accurately. Keep flour in a warm place for some time before using, so that it won't chill the dough.

HINTS FOR

Scald milk and cool before using. Never add water which is

warmer than tepid to yeast.

Do not allow dough to become chilled or overheated-

Never try to hurry or force raising of dough, and 0n the other hand do not allow it to stand too long between kneadlngs.

To ‘make an attractive, lustrous crust, brush over the surface of the loaf with melted butter just before putting in the oven, or just after removing the baked loaf. Do not add more flour than absolutely necessary during knead- ing. Keep dough soft.

Do not cover broad aft/er baking. Allow to cool s'owly, exposed to air.

Kneading the dough is an essen-

tial part of the break-making pro- cess. It helps to distribute the cells uniformly throughout the dough, so that the holes will be small and evenly spaced instead ct large in one part of the bread and small in another. Baking is always started in a hot oven. This temperature is kept until the bread reaches its maxi- mum size, then it is reduced in order to bake the interior thoroughly and brown‘ the crust slowly.

Contrary to previous reports, mil- itary uniforms and court dress will be required for the wedding of the Duke of Gloucester and Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas-Boott, it has been cmcislly announced. The cere- mony is to take place Nov. 6 in the chapel of Buckingbamyalace. It was announced earlier that ' all elaborate ceremony would be dis- pense’ with, because of mourning for the recent death of the father of the brlde-to-be, the Duke of Buccleuch. The Duke of Glouces- ter, fourth son of the King, will wear the uniform of captain of the 10th Royal Hussars. Lady Alice will go from her residence on Grosvenor Place to Buckingham Palace in a glass-covered coach drawn by four bays. After the ceremony the royal couple will proceed to St. Pancras station in an open, four-horse coach, if time permits. They will be escorted by a detachment of cavalry. It was announced origin- ally all school children would be given a. holiday to attend the cere- mony but the subsequent mourning arrangements called for a quiet ceremony. The King has insisted, however, that a'l school children throughout the country should get their holiday.

While the Princess Royal and the Duchess of York have long since set their seal upon blue as their favorite colour, and one gathers that it also holds a highplaoe in the mchess of Kent's affections, though she gave hcr name to Mar- ina. green, it seems not unlikely. judging from her choice of her wedding dress and hcr selection of lingerie, that “Lady Alice Pink" will soon have agreat vogue. The pale pink tint i): the material chosen for Lady Alice's wedding dress is described as "like the in- side lining of ‘a deep-sea shall."

"The Funeral March of a Mar- ionette" by Susan Buchan (Lady Tweedsmuir) was advertised for October publication by longmans, Green and Company, Toronto. It is a. historical novel-the story of Charlotte Stuart. Duchess of Al- bany and a daughter of Charles Edward, the “YOilng Pretender.’ it is based on new material in the form o1 letters which Charlotte Stuart wrote to her mother from Home where she had gone to live with her father. The book pre- sents a new and interesting picture of lifc in the eighteenth century.

In the opinion of the London Times Literary Supplement, "There are two essayists who stand alone among modern wrlters—-Alice Mey- nell. whose essays Bacon would have approved. and Virginia Woolf, - who, if she were in any need of a patron, could invite the shade of Laurence Sterne."

The following works of Virginia Woolf have been published in Can-
