For the thrifty housewife this is a gav- ing worth mentioning and is worth spending a longer time finding the grey down pillows, oose feathers, of the best grade, which will have some down mixed in, make an excellent pillow, They will be found to be soft yet firm. These are usually two or three dol- lars less per pillow than the all down, In this case again the grey feathers are cheaper than the white. Chicken and duck feathers are priced around three dollars a. pillow, and while they are quite ard and heavy, they make an excellent pillow for children to take away to camp, and for the small boy to take away to boarding school, Kapok is used chiefly for pillows such as sofa' cushions, baby carriage and boudoir accesory pillows, A kapok bed pillow is not worth buy- ing for steady use, for while it is de- lightfully soft and puffy at first, the soft fibre of the floss quickly breaks and soon the pillow is not filled with long silky fibres but with a kind of dust, The cost is slight being in the neighborhood of three dollars but for long and hard use that is an expen- sive pillow, It would mean discard- ing the old kapok filled pillows very often, whereas the down or feather filled pillow lasts twice as long, Although the hair pillow is hard it is an excellent one for hot weather for it sternly repulses any tendency on the part of the sleeper to sleep within its depths, Hair pillows of a better quality are priced from three to six dollars, which you may casily see is not expensive as pillows go. For the baby's bed there should always be several fluffy little pillows with small embroidered designs on their cases, The baby, however, should not be allowed to sleep on these, Until the child is several years old he will sleep with no pillow at all in warm weather and only the thinnest little cotton pillow in the winter, the smallest pad, to keep his neck warm, These delightful little pillows should be used .to decorate the bed when the baby is out of it. Another thing, never use a feather illow as a mattress in his carriage ecausc it is far too soft and warm and will overheat the baby's body. -- elpful ints For arassed ousewives kitchen cut i half, These sheets will save work in cleaning the stove, catching vegetable peeligs, wiping a burn from the bottle of the kettle or spilled food from the stove or sink. .

In fact, ome physi cian who has never signed a peun- monia death report, attributes his success to the onion poultice, Here are his directons for making it: Chop fine six to ten onions, ac- cording to their size. Put them into a large frying pan over a hot tire, adding about the same quan- tity of rye meal and sufficient vin- egar to form a stiff paste, Stir well and simmer from five to ten minutes, Put into a cotton bag of the required size and apply as hot as the patient can stand it. An plon poultice should be changed pvery ten minutes, » LJ Both lemons and orauges give more juice if heated before squeez- ing. % x » Keep a pile of newspapers in the H An excellent way to prepare ham is by baking a slice of ham for half an hour. Drain off fat, Pour on 1-2 cup of pineapple juice, Cov- er ham with slices of canned pine- apple. Baste frequently until ham is one. Turn pineapple to allow both sies to brown. When ham is baked cover it with a layer of marshmallows and put back in oven until they puff and brown, Do not put too many mafshmallows as they are likely to make it too rich. * LJ Ld When beds in the home are of several sizes it is often hard to pick from the freshly laundered sheets the size to fit the particular bed. A time saver is to letter or number small sheets "one" or "a"; three-quarter sheets "two" or "b" and full-sized sheets "three" or "e,"" Put in one upper corner, these identifications can be easily seen.

Graham Recalls Wedding Festival Which Lasted Nearly Three Days Perhaps the modern The Dansant had its origin on the: banks of the Saskatchewan, Recalling memories of her life when a young girl Mrs, ohn' Graham, daughter of Senator ichard Hardisty, (Chief factor then at Edmonton) said in Calgary re- cently: "Some of those old-time fiddlers were wonderful, they played mostly jigs and reels and square dances, Sometimes we would are very late, then go to bed and the next afternoon have what we called a 'Kettle Drum,' another dance "ii the afternoon to finish the party, "Every woman had a new dress to wear New Year's day. If she did- n't, she felt very poor indeed and unhappy, They made them of bright colored cashmere from the com- pany's store, with as many as six widths in the skirts that were trimmed with bands of black velvet. The ices were perfectly plain and close fitting and they wore col- ored silk handkerchiefs around their necks very like the ones we wear now with sport costumes, I remem- ber one very pretty dark young wo- man who had a dress of raspberry pink cashmere, The skin was very full and she had trimmed it with graduated bands of velvet in tones shading from a wide band of deep crimson at the bottom to a quarter inch band in the same pink as the dress at the top, They were very fond of purples, blues and reds. They certainly looked pretty dan- cing the Red River jigs and reels." Mrs, Graham recalls a wedding that united two of the oldest native families in Edmonton which com- menced with the ceremony at 12 o'clock noon, The wedding break- fast and dance that followed contin- ued until evening when the wedding party took a long sleigh ride' over the moonlit snow, returning to dance all night, all the next day and until noon the following day. Such a pro- longing of festivities might test the powers of even the jazz endurance competitors of 1928, WISHES TO BANISH "BOYISH FIGURES" Theatrical Producer Sesks Chorus Girls Fattening Looks London, Feb, 19.--C. B, Coch- ran, noted British theatri-al pro- ducer, has inaugurated a plan for feeding chorus girls fattening meals during rehearsals for his revues with a view toward bringing back the "billowy lines" of some years aro and ban'shing the present tend- ency toward the "boyish figure." Within the ranks of chorus gir's, at least, the new menn met with immediate approval. 'The members of Cochran's new revue were en- thusiastic about the announcement that they would get cream soup and honey among other items of the menu. . The menu yesterday Included cream soup, omelette, cheese, milk wholemeal bread, butter, salad, fruit and honey. "I have been torn between two schools of thoneht," said Cochran in discussing the new plan. "One .'. Social and Personal - - 'The Times invites the contributing or telephone 35.

To my mind the pre- sent straight line of the modern girls is nothing like so artistic ae the natural lines of the women of yesterday, "To my mind, the ideal figure was expressed in the paintings of Rossetti, There you have natural curves, I think most people will agree with me. We are al] getting tired of these slender, wraith-like young women," Cochran said he had discovered the plump girls could dance just as well ag the slim ones, and further- more, had more stamina. TELL HER SO Amid the cares of married life, In spite of toil and business strife, If you value your sweet wife Tell her so! Prove to her you don't forget The bond to which your seal is set; She's of life's sweet the sweetest yet-- Tell her so! ; When days are dark and deeply blue, She has her troubles same as you; Show her that your love is trug-- Tell her so! Don't act as if she' passed her prime, As though to please her was a crime; If eer you loved her, now's the time; Tell her so! Never let her heart grow cold, Richer beauties will unfold; She is worth her weight in gold! Tell her so!

Koreans are eager to hear the Gospel message and the speaker told of the many sac- rifices they made that they might have a church where they could meet and worship, It is a custom of Korean women to wear two wedding rings and two of these were shown, which had belongen to a Korean woman but which were sold so that the owner might have some money to give toward the building of the church, There are no empty seats im the Korean Church. There is always an over- flow congregation and every avails able space at the door and win- dows is occupied during a service, Miss Scruton's message made deep impression on all present and many registered a firm resolution not only to appreciate more the blessings which the Gospel briugs in this land but to do all in their power to belp spread this message in foreign lands, GET RID OF OTT BW™ Cuticurs vey vy vv ve vy PNY YT YTV YY YY YY YY YY DANDRUFF BY USING Cuticura Soap ASSISTED BY Cuticura Ointment SOLD EVERYWHERE Soap 25¢, Ointment 25c, and 50c, Talons 25¢, Sample each free.
