womans world by mair m morgan strawberries are in do you remember the oldfashioned strawberry jam that was given to us as children something so dark- colored so rich and sweet that there tks hardly any real strawberry flavor left and a little of that old- fashioned jam went a long way or tlse one got a stomach ache that strawberry jam was made by such longboiling methods that it lost much of its flavor as it depended up on the sugar to make it thick but now strawberry jam may be a thing of beauty both in looks and in taste that gorgeous fresh strawberry flavor is retained because of bottled fruit pectin which calls for such short boiling that even the lovely color and shape of the berries can be retained and as for strawberry jelly our grandmothers would have said straw berry jelly was an impossibility or at least a miracle as strawberry juice couldnt be made to jell wouldnt she be astonished to see and taste the strawberry jelly the modern house wife can make it is one the high

old days looking over some old papers we noticed the report of a wedding 3t vears ago and at that time it was customary to publish a list of the pre sents given to the bride observes the peterborough examiner in the list were two pickle dishes and a kruet stand people do not give kruet stands today and it is not likely the pickle dish is as popular as it was some years ago the pickle dish always stood up straight there was a glass container on a silver base and a handle running up over the top and at the side was a place for a pair of tongs or pincers with a clawlike arrangement at the end the glass container was generally green or pink the pickle dish never got worn out from being used too much it gener ally stood on the sideboard and it was much handier to put the pickles in a dish and spear them with a fork but the kruet dish stand did come in for more use it was like an ele vated cake plate flat on top with places tor a salt and pepper dish and for the vinegar and generally room for another to hold mustard or any such thing when it got put in the centre of th e table it looked as though the table were partly set already but it generally needed a fair amount of shining to keep it from tarnish ing and it made people at the far end of the table do a lot of reaching both the kruet stand and the pickle dish had quite a run in the season ot weddings we dare say a good many homes could produce the kruet stand from the top shelf today they never came in handy for anything else not like a spoon holder the spoon holder could he used for a long time and as there were always spoons to be held the holder was useful then after a spell when the children came the spoon holder was often a good thing to use when came to biting through tile first teeth the child could nut swallow the thing nor could it possibly get the spoon holder down its throat to produce choking and if it fell on the door it would not break probably thats why the spoon holder outlived the kruet stand and the pickle dish if you go on being reactionery long enough you will always find that you have become revolutionary g k chesterton stars of the motion pictures recently presented awards to

recently gave her four point philosophy of life 1 cut out nonessentials dont do things which are no use to you and give neither help or joy to others dont belong to clubs that are of no value to anybody and waste time and energy and make you less effective by blurring your per sonality 2 be natural polish the natural but do not distort it all great souls are natural and simple 3 do not rely completely on any other human being however dear we meet all lifes greatest tests alone 4 live in the present yesterday is gone tomorrow has not arrived live today dont live for today only but in today speaking to the graduating class of ottawa ladies college at a pri vate dinner recently miss macphail said life is a great teacher but so slowly do we learn life is nearly- over before we have found out how- to live that is the best argument i know of the need of a world beyond she urged the girls in deciding what to do in life to follow what the unresting urge suggests yes compels we have many vrges but one which persists and should be obeyed it is the voice of instinct of intuition wiser far than reasoned conclusion the greatest joy in life is deep satisfaction in work a feeling of fulfilment through it the money pay ment is quite secondary if ones iield is well chosen and one is faithful in that field eariier in her address miss mac phail told her audience one of the great tasks of the young is to keep their ideals whole and untarnished as they grapple with life and meet the disillusonment and cynicism of those older new england farmers stub- frank palmer in yankee new

lives regular mealtime bedlime and work hours stifle them as well as community habit or whatever is expected they fit into no known pattern but other wise are hard workers generous and nearly always affectionate however if there is too much pres sure for their own temperamental happiness they store up a tremen dous amount of restless resentment and resentment usually means out breaks and trouble beware critics beware reformers this is analyzing henry not bat tling for him that would undo one of the essentials credited in charac ter building workhabit at least some conformity to routine and co operation must still be our guide to advise anything else is to encourage license and laziness but our true henry is not a bad boy he is a type he has a right to his own nature and usually he can be
