STRENGTH OF WILL '
Strength of Will is the quality
:most needing cultivation in man-
kind. Will is the central force
which gives strength and great-
ness to character. We overstf-
mate the value of Talent, because
it dazzles up; and we are apt to
underrate the importance of Will,
because its works are less chin-
ing. Talent gracefully adorns life;
but it is Will which carries us
vlctoriolfsly through the struggle.
Intellect is the.torch which lights
us on our way; Will, the strong
arm which rough-hews the path
for us.-George Henry Lewes.
WORK
All work and no rest takes the
spring and bound out of the most
vigorous life.-Time spent in
judicious resting is not time wast-
ed, but time gained.

NATIONAL MOURNING
Mourning, we were told, was out
of fasdon. Many women. had
av‘wed with emphasis their inten-
tion never to wear it, even for their
dearest friends.
Yet. w‘lthln a day or two of King
Georges passing the Edinburgh
pavements were crowded with vio-
men, almost without exception
wearing black or very sober
colours. Very many of them were
entirely clothed in black. Nearly
everyone wore a black hat.
In the restaurants the waitesses
wore bows of purple and black-
BLACK, WHITE, AND PURPLE
EVERYWHERE
Strange has been the transforma-
tion in our Edinburgh shops, not
only in Prince Street, but over ali
the city.
Nearly every shop has associated
itself will. the national mourning
by its drapery of blaipk or purple,
or its bringing into t e foreground
a portrait of the King. Chocolate
boxes have tied themselves up with
mauve-coloured ribbons, perfume
bottles are adorned with purple
bows and black and grey handbags
have effectively ousted colour. The
effect is a wonderful one and not a
little impressive even in its sadness.
SHE MATERIALS WORN
Ideas regarding mourning have
changed greatly since the death of
King Edward V11., even as regards
the materials to be worn. Formerly
velvet was not regarded as mourn-
ing. New velvet with dull surfaces
is admitted, and will be greatly
worn uas evening gowns immediate-
ly. New dull satlns are also admit-
ted as mourning. Materials with a
shiny urafce are not correct- D1
wools, duvetyn and soft loose
weaves resembling lace are
favoured.
As regards furs, "grey" furs are
now admitted in mourning
gchemes, the favorite being silver
oxes
77-IE COOK 'S
CORNER
“POTATOES AU GRATIN"
We have an interesting addition
to make to our series of 'special
potato recipes this week-the pota-
toes flavored with cheese and a
slight touch of onion; this gives us
one of the most savory ways of
serving this vegetable. It is a pleas-
ant variation _from the ordinary
creamed potatoes-and decidedly
unlike the other casserole dish we
suggesied last week, when we scal-
loped our vegetable.
2 cups diced cooked potatoes '
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1-6 teaspoon pepper
2 cups hot rich milk
Bcraped onion to taste
Grated cheese
Cut the cooked potatoes in neat
cubes. Melt the butter and care-
fully blcnd in the mixed flour, salt
and pepper- Slowly stir in the hot
milk and stir and cook until the
mixture thlckens smoothly and no
raw flavor of flour remains. Add
scraped onion. Remove from heat
and add the potatoes. (If desired,
add 'A to if cup grated sharp cheese
to the mixture and combine very
lightly, tcber;revent breaking up the
potato cu ).
Turn the creamed potato mix-
ture into a. deep greased baking
dish and sprinkle generously with
grated cheese. Add a light dusting
of paprika, if desired. Place i.n a

“We New Yorkers do feel au-

thinking, "Dear Lord in heaven,
what have I to feel superior
about? I, a tramp. A nobody. A

a rambling brick -house with
an avenue of trees leading to lt.

"It's frurny," Ruth answered,

John McNeill said.

she took, hoping she was not too

offered her. Elaine, she felt,

stances.

remarked, “you were the limpst

if I ever saw one." _
“What a way to enter your life
after an eight-year absence!"
Ruth mourned. “At my very
worst."
At your very most impres-
sive," he disagreed. "I've met
several hundred perfctly tuméd
out girls in my day, and promptly
forget 'em. I never before picked
up one that looked like a wet
dish-rag fallen off the line. and,
five minutes later. saw 'her t1n'l1

"Did you realize who I was?"
Ruth asked curiously.
He said. “Until Penny started
calling you ‘Miss Elaine' it never
entered my head that you were

ing to find a dry spot."
“Oh-" said Ruth. “These elms
are gorgeous. Like- like New

“Have you forgotten this is the

"Your ancestors and mine who

But they didn‘t crack up. John
was an excellent driver, and pres-
ently he turned the car _around
and drove home. As they tumed
into the driveway he said, "I.

a few dozen questions about this

"Who?" asked Ruth blankly.
