I have had six children of which four are living and my youngest is a bon- nie baby boy now eight months old who weighs 23 pounds.

In the case of some slickers it is a very simple matter to clean the mark off for soap and water will do the trick, but with the coat it is an entirely different matter, With both coat and slicker if eucalyp- tus ofl is applied to the collar it will remove all grease spots, 80 many dresses, sweaters, light colored jackets and coats are made impossible to wear becuse of . spiration stains, Even when they are cleansed at the cleaners they are not entirely removed, Try am- monia and water at home to re- move the perspiration stains, .To obtain a brilliant polish on the stove dissolve some blacklead with some methylated spirits and add a little boiling water to make it into a paste.

Rub the oil thoroughly into the shoes, and also where the upper part joins the welt. Never put damp shoes in a cupboard, They should be placed in a warm but not too hot place and mot near the fire.

Both hostesses own lovely silver and furniture but the first one followed every rule oi the dear, dead nineties in the set- ting of her table and the furnish- ing of her drawing room, both of which were dull and uninspiring as Tead. The other framed her treas- ures of the past among the best things of the modern decorative school with a result that ig startle ing. Many modern products are as ugly and stodgy and undesirable as the worst specimens of the mid- Victorian age, but we know about tham all and can distinguish if we want to be modern and well ine formed, The advertisements of the active merchant have taken away much of the heaviness of the past, The linen of Victoria's day was fine and honest and so is much that is sold today---and much more beautiful. Old: food was well-flae voured and nourishing; so is the modern brand---and infinitely cleaner. Old time clothes were sturdy and well-cut and reasonable in price--so are the garments of today--and much less cumbersome, The past is much more useful to us now that we can compare it with the things of today and the best way of doing this is to read the advertisements as a matter of habit and safety.

When the United States Federal Reserve Board shot up the call- money rate to the hitherto-un- known high of 20 per cent, the selling mania which followed struck the two Toronto Exchanges early in the afternoon after a week of highly nervous tension, The orders rolled in so rasc wus Have you ordered any HOT X BUNS?

Stocks listed in Toronto not traded in n New York did not es- cape the general avalanche. Carl ing Brewery, for instance, decline Other stocks suffered similarly. Excitement on the Exchanges was at high pitch, with everybody rushing to get the selling orders through. In the various hrokers' offices, hundreds of clients and traders crowded into the board room scanning the melancholy uews revealed by the ticker and the chalked announcements. An- xious traders, many of them wom- en, fairly swamped thc brokers' offices with telephone calls seek- ing advice and information and putting in their orders. New York, Mar. 27. -- With a roar heard around the world, stocks crashed yesterday in the wmggest market day in history. Nervous and apprehensive over lost profits and quickly mounting losses, spec- ulators of all sorts, from the shoe- string trader with an odd lot to the plunger with thousands of shares, dumped them into the diz- zy. maelstrom as the rate for the use*of call funds on securities mounted from 12 per cent, to 15, then to 17, and finally to 20 per cent, tC RC the Homema Everyday foods will take on a new air when you fry them in deep fat. Here are some recipes for everyday foods cooked In a new way. They will help you to provide variety in the spring diet, To brown easily, foods must either contain a natural supply of fat or protein, or have 'it supplied by coating the surface with a material rich in these elements. For this reason veal (a lean meat) is often dipped in egg and bread crumbs, while pork can be fried to a golden brown without any added substance, Potato cakes brown better if dipped in beaten egg, or even in milk, and fish is some- times merely dipped in cornmeal before putting into the hot fat, French Toast Two eggs, 4 tablesoonsful milk, 3% teaspoonful salt, 5 slices of bread. Beat the eggs slightly and stir in milk and salt. Dip bread quick- ly, one slice at a time, finoto the mixture. Lift from ' the mixture; drain, and drop in deep hot fat (390 deg. F) and fry until a golden brown, Drain and serve with maple syrup or jelly, Croustads Cut slices of stale bread about 2 inches thick. Shape Into rounds with a cookie cutter or simply by cutting off the crusts and corners With a sharp pointed knife dig a hole in the centre, cutting almost through to the bottom. Drop into a kettle of hot fat (375 deg.

Sections of pudding dipped first in fine cake crumbs, then in beaten egg, and again in crumbs make a very appetizing dessert--not at ali resembling a "left-over", If de- sired, the pleces of pudding can be dipped in the batter given for fruit fritters, or, the following recipe can be used. Batter: One cup of flour, 3 teaspoonful salt, 2-3 cup- ful milk or water, 2 egg yolks, % egg whites, 1 tablespoonful melted butter, 2 tablespoonfuls lemon Juice. Mix and sift the flour and salt; add milk gradually beating until smooth. Beat egg yolks until thick and add with butter and lemon juice. Mix well. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter.

A cottage that would face the sea Surrounded by a wall, Where I could see the sunsets And hear the sea gulls call, A garden filled with lovely flowers, With trees, some great, some small, And herbs that own the healing balm x With scents that never pall, If I could only have my wish How happy I would be, With my cottage and geraniums, The sunsets and the sea. --Maude Bowman Hobbs.
