The Last, Best Cup Al.

a

Coffee Starts The Day Right

One last cup of coffee, a at the headlines, then he abso- lutely must leave for: work! That last cup is mighty important —

«its the one cup that gives him the enthusiasm he needs as he begins a busy day.

Coffee must be made with en- thusiasm if it is the kind thaf really starts the day right. That is. the coffee you serve should be fresh, hot, strong and delicious.

For the sake of brides-to-be and even brides-that-are, here are*”some simple directions for making the perfect cup. They are guaranteed to win lasting appro- val from husbands and to refresh your memory of how delicious really good coffee can be.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

To make good coffee, its im- portant to start with a clean cof- fee maker, fresh coffee and fresh cold, water. Then comes the all- 4mportant ‘measuring and timing: For each servi of average- strength coffee. use this ratio of wffee to water:

1 standard coffee measure (or

2 level measuring tablespoons

of coffee

™% of a measuring cup (6 oun- ces) of water

following directions for each of coffee maker:

Percolator— percolate over low heat from 6 to 8 minutes, no longer.

Vacuum—hold brewing coffee in upper bowl no. more than 8 minutes.

Drip—pour in boiling water; it should go through the coffee in 4%to 6 minutes: stir before serv- ing. 3

Here are some additional tips on making the perfect cup of cof- fee (1) always use at least three- quarters capacity of your coffee maker. If you want fewer cups, use a smaller maker (2) It is best to serve coffee as soon as it is brewed, but if you must hold it, keep it hot over very low heat. Never reheat it. (3) Brewing too long makes coffee bitter. (4) If you want weaker coffee, dilute with hot water af- ter brewing according to above recipe. This way, the coffee will retain its true flavor.

-MARY HAWORTH

Secretary Is Very Fond Of Her Bachelor Boss

Dear Mary Haworth: I have been secretary for about five years to ‘a bachelor who has come to mean everything to me. I am happy only when I am at the office. Vacations and week- ends mean nothing to me.

This man’s moods are a con- eern of mine. He gets quite de pressed at times and I become infected too, because I feel so sorry for him and want so much te help.

After he talks to me he seems te feel better; but these last years I feel worse for days after- ward. I neter let him know, be- cause I think he has enough trouble battling his own ‘moods.

I am not an extremely gay per- son, but I've never taken myself too -seriously and never used to get depressed. Ed (I'll call him) knows I like him a lot; but he has never admitted to any spe- cia] admiration for me, except in a subtle way, (if I am not mis- interpretinz).

SENSE OF HUMOR He is something of an introvert

| ‘and likes to read. His taste runs

to mystery, tragedy and the oc- cult; and once he remarked that tragedy is beautiful .. Strangely he has a wonderful sense of hu- mor and can be quite a charmer with a kindness and gentleness that I don't find in many men. But in affairs of the heart. he seems to think tt better to have loved and lost, than to love and’ win.

In some ways I think he. con- fides in me more than others, but at times he tells contradictory tales—I think to con’use me. He has suggested vaguely that his\ personality wouldn't: be good for me. I don't know any of his past

history, but imagine it was con-

servative. I wonder, can you de- cipher him?

| I,don’t think there is much help}

for me, as I am lost in his per- sonality. I don’t say this desper- ately, but quite seriously. I would much appreciate your comment. C.D.

STUCK IN THE MIRE

Dear C.D.: You aren’t so much lost in this man’s personality—or “gone”’ on his charms—as you are stuck in the mire of your own dis- couragement, which gets deeper and darker as time goes on. ,

Another aspect of- your diffi- culty is that you just won't face up to the truth, which you know in your bones to be true, namely, the truth that there's nothing here for you, in this bankrupt en- grossment with your bachelor boss

Kh is your renewéd awareness of this unfaced, but self-evident fact, that depresses you for days, after a listening session with the, boss in one of his moods.,_; ADULATION WASTED

As you say,. you waat so much to he'p him, -in the immemorial feminine way, of) investing your- self and veur-sentiaments in a mu- tually significant, mutually con- soiling exchange. Wheras he Plainly couldn't’ care less about you as a person; and regards you

rather as office equipment, al- ways available as a sounding beard, in the event he to unbend and talk a bit.

As you are a stranger to the man’s past history. we must as- sume that he doesn't confide in you % any extent; and that you

a

have widifully magnified the fragments of thought ne has shared with you.

His interest in mystery, tragedy and the occult, as “treading fare, suggests a rather juvenile mixed- up mind, rather thinly educated, that is looking for ‘‘éscapist"’ sol- utions to the problems of life. He p bly ismt a mature or cul- tured character.

DUE TO LONELINESS

About help for yourself: Face reality, and work systematically to make your life situation more fruitful, on the score of human imterchange and\ meaningful re- lationships.

As of now, your life is empty, except for the job: and doubt- Tess the job itself is an automaton sort of routine,“wherein you plod in isolation from humankind, for the most part. Thus your peren- nial round progressively unfits you for making the grade into friendships, loves and marriage— hence, your problem. Your ador- ation of the boss is a by-product of loneliness; and he isn’t worth it. M.H. °

Interesting Topic Is The “Race Prejudice Exposed”

The Mary Miller Auxiliary of the W. M. 8S. of Trinity United

Church, Chariottetown, met _ in the Social Hall Monday evening, February 2, with a good atten- dance. Mrs. G: A. Cairns was in charge of the devotional period, assisted by Mrs. Stanley Walker. The topic was Race Prejudice Exposed. The _ service opened With a call to worship, followed by the hymn, ‘“‘These Things Shall Be.”” Mrs. Cairns led in prayer, and Mrs. Walker read the Scrip ture, Ruth 1:18 and 1417.

Mrs. Cairns gave a comment- ary on the scripture reading. She poirited out that in spite of the bitter prejudice in Israel against alien tribes, Ruth, the ‘‘Moabitish damsel,""’ became the accepted and beloved wife of a highly re- spected Jew, and is proved to be the. great-gra ther of King David. As an aPgument agaipst race prejudice it would seem to be the last word.

The offering was received and ic®ted, andthe service closed

ery Mrs. Cairns was | also in chyrge of the study, Our | Neighbor n Mexico. She was | assisted /by Miss Mary’ Cairns and Miss Beatrice Axworthy. Mexico is a country of contrasts. Most places are teeming with peaple — some living in huts, some in modern homes, and still others in palatial residences. They® seem to be a very happy people, with an amazing zest for living.

Mexico is a majestically beautl- ful country, with magnificent, breath-taking scenery amidst the mountains, of which the inhabi- tants are very proud. In contrast = this lovely environment, there \fs a scarcity of schools, and a crying need for hospitals, due to the lack of initiative of the peo- ple. Evangelistic prospects are very good, but much work re- mains to be done.- More good literature and periodicals are needed. The study period closed with prayer.

The president, Mrs. | Thompson, conducted

i

Stanley the bust- ness meeting. Minutes of the pre- vioys meeting were read, and re- | Ports were received. After some | discussion, ‘it was moved and se- | conded that a joint Thank‘offering | Service be held with the after- |Moon auxiliary, early in April: It | was agreed to have the business meeting ater the thank offering service Mrs. Arthur Coffin is |.fo- represent the Mary Miller Au-

A letter was read from Dr | Mlorence Mur-ay, asking for ‘bandages. She is now working in

a Leper colony. It was decided that the Mary Miller Auxiliary gather bandage material, includ- ing old sheets and pillow slips, and send it to her as soon as pos- sible.

Mrs. Cutcliffe’'s group will be in charge of the program for March 2. The meeting closed with the Mizpah benedictiot, after which a social half-hour was eu- joyed. Mrs. A. Frank MacLean, | as hostess, served a delicious! lunch. Mrs. Keith Kennedy, speak- | ing for the auxiliary, thanked | Mrs. MacLean for her kind hos-| pitality. !

John Martin | Is Special Guest Speaker

The regular monthly meeting of the Central Royalty Home and School Association was held in the school on Tuesday, February 3. It was a large and enthusiastic | meeting with approximately 60 members in attendagce.
