What fine letters we receive, all to set thoughts I-roving) A recent one was from I woman. come now to her sunset years. She grows old gracefully. young at. heart. interesting and interested. She has retired from active work to bits of needle-craft. her books and writing. her Church and her memories. In girlhood. undoubt- edly attractive she "could have married but didn't" being some- what reluctant to leap chasm between her prosperous home to one where many of those comforts would have to be fore- gone in the initial stages of build- ing another. And has been. we be-

lieve, a little lonely ever since. though hers has been a busy life. devoted to the service of family.

and friends. James is of the cpin-.3 ion though possibly only in theory, that it is a very wise girl who stops to oonslder the financial as- pects of a suitcr. "Dont let heart dim your sight" we heard him advise a sweet young thing only recently. "But never mind that" we countered "it all depends on the man. If he is ambitious and willing, of good habits and kind. given that yqu like him. sup- posing that he hasn't much of this world: goods. marry him!" And James laughed and said "That would work out fine, if folks did- n't need to be fed and clothed. There's where the rub comes in. This sentiment of living cn love is pleasant to ocntemplate, but if a person were hungry . . .well 'When want comes in the door. love files out the window” not but what there seems to be 'bread and work 'for all nowadays." O O C C

And one of our letters quite put us to shame -we that walk with- out efftrt and under James insis- tence on occasion, run to head some foot-lcose animal, but never-

iheless sometimes grumble in mind if not aloud over the cares of our round. This Island woman

She describes a trip she had taken by car, back to revisit scenes she had known well an a girl. The out- ing. all the better for being un- expected, began on a Saturday morning last Novembef which took her, a. son. a. daughter-in-law and two grandchildren to Borden on the first lap of a journey to New York. "We stayed at Ray- mond's (a son) in Flushing and on our way to the big city we were able to view the United Na- tiona' Buildings. some of our party had never been to New York be- fore so they must see the Wool- worth and Empire State Buildings, the Presbyterian Hospital which covers eight city blocks, and other places of interest, then we drove through Central Park across the George Washington Bridge New Jersey. I wanted much to visit the beautiful Palisades Park. one of my favorite holiday spots in days gone by. 0

So we drove through every hit of it and I found it even more beau- tiful than I remembered. One day returning from the city we had a splendid view of the Queen Eliza- beth. which had docked only a few hours before.

Salads

If you are serving molded salads don't try to place it on top of lettuce leaves in a precarious posi- tion. it is better to place the mold on the salad plate first and then arrange the leaves of lettuce around it.

Gold-Decorated China

Wash the gold-decorated china in lukewarm water containing soap flakes in moderation. Never rub directly upon the gold. as it will dull it and eventually cause it to rub off.

Leather Gloves

Unwashable leather gloves may be cleaned perfectly with a flannel cloth which has been soaked in milk, squeezed nearly dry, and then ruibbed on a bar of soap.

IT may take some mighty astute thinking. some ardoit manipula- tion. and unswerving purpose in order to get around rather diffi- cult and challenging situations on this day. While it may be unwise to attempt the side-stepping of sordid shares, and setbacks. at the same time it might be as well to have the course well-charted and planned as to detail. conduct. etc.. for possible emergencies or under- mining oppositions.

Those whose birthday it is, are urged lo have II weilniapped course of action for the year ahead, since there may. be sudden recliarting. radical change of ideas. with shrewd management of emergencies or sudden change of objectives. Hard work. manip- ulation with a sound purpose of hewirig to the line is recommend- ed. even when things seem to be going awry.

Breck had told the truth. He felt no fear whatsoever as he stepped into the pii-ogiue and squatted. down In If. and his self-confidence was wholly Justified. A sense of power .and freedom swept over him. and with the awareness of these came a return of the triumphant con- viction iiha-t he could not only res- cue Drew but win Celeste. in spite of every obstacle. Above the sound of the river he seemed to hear her singing - not the ”Ave" which had mystified mm. but those lilt- mg songs of love whose meaning she guessed only by instinct.

Still exalted. still confident and triumphant, he paddled up through the easier water along the levee. listening intently to the sound that the river made. If he could see. through the darkness. the out- line of the slice of oaks leading to the house. he could follow it. He felt the current catch him, and sweep him back, faster than he could battle against it. But at the same instant he saw the out- line of the house, itself. He knew he could not be far from the quar- ters then. and he believed he could force his way to them. Feel- in-g himself in the grip of the cui-- rent, he still did not fear it. He had kept the pirog-ue on an even keel so far. The water was chok- ed with flotsam that went hurt- ling by him in the darkness. poles and planks to judge by the half- carught glimpses. He could feel the slackeni , of the current. Soon he would be through the worst of it. The rest would be easy. it was only I matter of minutes before he would reacih. Drew.

He could not understand what it was that suddenly caught him across the chest. His -legs were free. they had shot ahead of him as the pirogue slid out from under him. But his body was first pinion- ed and then entangled. All at once he remembered. The new barbed wire. which. in thinking of every- thing else. he had forgotten until then. The pirogue had slipped be- tween the lower strand of it and the upper and then sped on. But he himself was ensnared by it. In the same instant that he knew this. the prayer which all day had elud- ed him come clearly to him at last: "God. give me one more oi-iI.n.ce!” It was the prayer that was still on his lips as he fell back- ward inio the water.
