The Houscwms and HER ACTIVITIES

A PRAYER. FOR IIOMEMAKERS.

Dh, Father of all Loveliness, Teach us To understand the Joy of Color, the Harmony of Form, the Beauty of Proportion; To know the Real in Art and Books; To be content with what we have, but not satisfied untilour homes reflect. the Best in ourselves: To appreciate the simple joys of Acquiring and Possessing And To make a House Beautiful out of Four Walls. Elizabeth Bradley Read.

THANKS Think how much we have to be thankful for. Few appreciate the number of every-day blessings. We look on them as trifles; we forget them bzcnuse they are always with us.—Sir J Lui:b:ck HAPPENINGS Not what has happened to my- self today, but what has happened to othrrs through mt.L—shouid be my thought.—F D Blake .

EXCELLENCE We should allow others excer- lences ,to prcscrce a modest opin-

ion of our own.—Barrow.

LOVE

The religion of humanity is love. -—.lVIazIini

DOING WELL The best thing is to do well what one is doing at the moment. ——Pittacus

SHIP I‘-ZTVGINEER

In Queen Victoria's day it would‘ have been considered unusual, to say the least of it, for a woman to encroach on what is usually con- sidered a man's province

Yet there is an interesting wo- man, to whom the late Queen was godmother, who has an interesting record as a ship's eziginer.

Miss Victoria Drummond has served as the third engineer four times on voyages to Australia round the Cape.

she holds a. second engineer's certificate for use anywhere in the world, and is qualified to act us first engineer in home waters.

A MorningSm ile

The little man ordered his meat and waited patiently for it to be served. Halfway through the second course the waiter came quietly to the table.

"Ebtcuse me. sir.“ he whispered. “but I'd advise you not to hurry with your meal!"

"Good gracious!" exclaimed the little man, “why shouldn't 1?"

“Well, sir," said the waiter, "you're sitting on a prize-fighters hat, but he doesn't know it yeti"

The treatment of convicts in a certain prison is remarkably hum- one. A regular visitor inquired rec- ently. regarding an old offender: "Whats wrong with old Bill? He seems to be grouchy."

“No wonder," said Bill's cellmato. “He tried to escape to-day, and now they won't let him go to choir prac- tice!'

THE WOMEN'S CORNER

SHAKE THEM 00'!

Do not leave crumbs in the table cloth or napkins when they are placed in the clothes hamper to wait for wash day. They are apt to attract mice and your linens will be ruined.

NOT T00 1101‘

If paraffin is heated to too great a temperature it has I ten- dency to separate from the sides of the jelly glass. It should be heated slowly and carefully and never allowed to reach the snick- ing stage.

FOR FLAKLEB CRUST

When taking a. pie from the oven, do not. put it on the flat surface of a table to cool, but on a high wire rack. The rack helps to keep the crust crisp so it will not be soggy. Invert the wire dish drainer and use for this pur- pose if you do not have a regular rack. .

EASILY FOUND

How often have you watched a housewife frantically going through the dresser drawer in search of it spoon or fork while smoke arises

from the article being cooked! This would be avoided if the drawer for kitchen cutlery were

partitioned and the various uten- sils sorted and kept in their places

THE COOK CORNER

LEMONADE Pour 3 pints boiling water over 4‘/l pounds white sugar, 2 ounces citric acid, 1 ounce tartaric acid, ‘A ounce Epsom salts.

Stir till dissolved. when oool add grated rind and juice of 3 oranges and 2 lemons.

Let stand over night. Strain and bottle. Use ‘a to 3/. inch in tumbler of ice water. This syrup will keep indefinitely,

A favorite of young and old, is Chocolate Blanc Mange, and here is an extremely nice version of this popular dessert. Rich with chocolate flavor, and of a nice thickness for serving in glasses or unmoulding from individual custard cups, its deliciousness might be enhanced by whipped cream and a sprinkling of grated chocolate or chopped nut- meats. Or if you preferred, the des- sert might be served with pouring cream.

2 cups milk or diluted evaporated milk .

3 squares unsweetened chocolate $4 cup granulated sugar

4 tablespoons cornstarch

‘/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

Place milk in upper pan oL dou- ble boiler over boiling water. Cut up chocolate and add to cold milk. Bring to scald, then beat smooth with rotary beater. -

Combine sugar. cornstarch and salt very thoroughly, then stir in the chocolate mixture. Stir and cook over boiling water until the mixture has thickened smoothly. Cover and cook with occasional stir- ring, until no raw flavor of starch remains. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Cool slightly, then turn into stemmed glasses and chill thor- oughly. Top with lightly-sweetened whipped cream and garnish with a grating of unsweetened chocolata or with chwped nutmesta (touted, if

desired.)

pointed out, however, that the re- ceptions to take the place of the usual Courts have b’:-n arranged, not for the sake 0; simplicity but because of the Court mourning. Not until the first formal Court is announced will the public be sure that His Majesty will express his personality in curtailing the splendor of the British Court. In any event it is not anticipated that whether it be brilliant or simple it will lose none of its dignity or prestige with Edward VIII as man- arch. O 0 0

(By 1". R. 8) to-+o++o+oo+ooo+o++o+¢-0-9

The Eniglish best seller “R.egencY" by D. L. Murray, author of “'I‘rum- petc-rSound."is a long lll5l»0l'l¢8l novel with the pageant of Bright- on—from the eighteenth century un- til the present day-—as its back- ground. The book is divided 11130 four parts. The flrst part, which is the longest and by far the best, tells the story of Regency Daven- port who, from the time of her unconventional christening in 1789, had many adventures, and then became, for a time, the favourite of the Prince Regent. The other three parts deal with several of her descendants—ihe nun-like Then, the Victorian Charlotte, and the modem Carol. In all of these women occasionally it becomes evi- dent that the tumultuous blood of Regency flows.

The bock is somehow rather dis- appointing, there are a great num- ber of disagreeable people in it and a few szartlingly misplaced phrases, but it is without doubt of real.siic and at times very interest- ing account of life in four different generations.

A book which seems to be receiv- ing a lot of prazre is “The Baron- ess" by Ernest Wiechert. He is a widely read German author who has been popular on the continenti for some time .George J. Mcleod of Toronio. Mr. Wiicliert's Canad- ian pliib'iSh€‘l', reports that “The Barones," his most recent work, has aready sold over 100000 copies in Germany and that-—“Canadians are finding in Mr. Wiechert's book a story that is dlf erent in both style and theme, and wi‘l probably become one of the best-selling books in North America published this season."

S. Morgan-Powell of The Mont- real Slar has given “Tlie Enron- css" a very favourable review which he concludes—" . . . the Baroness herself, enigmatic, authoritative, as striking a persona'ity as you will

find in any modern novel. . . . The dean philosophy. the profound understanding of Nature in her

many moods. and the sheer beauty of the writing, combine to make "The Baroness" a book you will read with keen enjoyment and Toy down with deep regret."

"The Drama of the Forest" by the Canadian author and artist Arthur Heming was reissued last month as a companion volume to "The Living Forest." These volumes have very fine illustrations by Heming himself.

The Art Book Museum Inc. is now issuing a series of books about sig- nificant artists. As well as s. oom- prehenslve text on the artist, these

The Heritage Press has plblished a fine new edition of Irving Stone's "Lust For Life" the popular flo- llonived bl0€1‘8«Dhy of Vincent Van Gogh. It is illustrated with one hundred and fifty pictures by Van Gogh, and the striking “vegetable Gardens" has been litliographed on the binding in seven colours. It is caI'ed-“an exciting fusion of three arts-—-painting, writing, and book-making—into one great mas. terpieoe."

"Light Opera and Musical Com- edy” by J. Walker Mcspadden, con- tinued from last week-

The rise of opera in Gemisny was almost coincident with that of Italy. but there was no definite German school of lighter opera. as in Italy and France. \

Teutonic composers, however. fumed naturally to lighter moods. and many of their works, despite the tragedy of their themes, are impregnated with gaiety and rom- ance—for example, Mom:-t.'s "Mu. H888 Of F'38ill‘0" and "The Seraglio" which has been ca.l.‘cd the mm,

real German opera, Weber's "Der Freischutz" and Beethoven's "pm. elio."

In the nineteenth century such names become well known, for their light operatic works, as Lortzlng, Nicolai, Flotow of the immortal “Martha." Von Suppe smetann, whase "The Bartered Bride" has re. ceniiy been produced in New York, and Cornelius.

Johann Strauss (1826-1899) is bet. ter known as the "Waltz King” than as operatic composer. and his "Blue Danube" and many other walgtaes still live while his comic operas. “The Bat" and “The Queen‘; Lace Handkerchief," once populgr in America, have been forgotten.

Richard Straufs (1864). whose ch.ef fame has been in the field of Grand Crpera. and orchestral works, has produced in a lighter vein, -"rue Rose Knight'fl—“the greatest comic opera since “F‘igaro."'

And in recent years a group of Younger men have written many
