I certainly sympathize with you, Wallflower. What is so heart- breaking as to feel that you are out _ of things. From what you tell me, I am sure that your appearance is _ all that can be desired. You say that you are naturally quiet. That is a _ very good trait in these days; but don't carry it too far. Those six girls that you like are just bubbling Over with fun and life. So don't be! you are. Make an effort to be just as pleasant and jolly as possible; and don't get the idea that you are differ-| ent from the others.

I am just learn- ing to cook; and still in the infant class at that. But so far I have _ fooled Ben with dishes produced -™ainly from cans. I have also _ gerved pretty home-made cakes fresh from the corner bakery) and he has thought I was a wonderful cook. But alas! the inlaws have spilt the beans -- suggested right _ before Ben that I get some capable woman to teach me to cook and ce tie fell in love with me.

However, I really think that your friend. She has lived near him for years and has regarded him as a sort of brother. But now that she sees Please tell us what to do. Sincerely yours, ce PAT and PEG. ry Answer:--Well! Pat and Peg, your Peg is over-rating her feeling for how happy you are to have him for a lover she feels that she has never appreciated him; and--hbecause she has right when her real sweetheart comes along, and she will be able to laugh about this episode. She would do well to avoid your company when you are with your boy friend. But at other times you could enjoy each other's so- ciety as usual. Our closest friendships are formed in youth, so it is a pity to break with an old school friend. Do not think of giving up your boy friend, Pat. It is not your fault. It is he who has the privilege of choosing and he has chosen you. I hope you will let me kn ow how you get along, and that Peg will cheer up and make u p her Answer--Neyver mind, Una.

The whole ob- jectof soup it seems to me, is using the leftover vegetables and white sauce, the little bit of buttery juice from carrots or peas, and the water in which the potatoes, rice or macar- oni were cooked, even the bit of egg- yolk, cereal or grated cheese.

Already we are having sufficiently hot days to make one feel that sum- mer precautions are necessary in the care of babies, and these suggestions are quoted from the baby book issued by the Ontario Department of Health: Bathing--Bathe the baby morning and evening, and on very hot days give a sponge bath in the middle of the day. Keep the skin dry, and well powdered. If he is suffering from prickly heat, sponge with a solution of baking soda (1 teaspoon to 1 pint of water) sev- eral times a day. Clothing--The clothing should be very light; a thin diaper and muslin dress are sufficient. Sleeping -- Put him out of doors in the shade during the daytime, cov- er him with white mosquita netting; do not use a heavy covering as it ex- cludes the air.
