"BRUNCH" Every once in awhile we come across some mourner for "the beauti- ful and open-handed hospitality- of other days," and right:then and there we begin to do battle, For we prefer the: modern brand of hospitality, It may not be, in fact, we suppose it isn't, as picturesque as. the'old. The great hearths and groaning bonds that we picture on. our Christmas cards are no more, 'tis true, But as far as the housewife is concerned, they are well gone if in return she may continue to enjoy today's ad: 'juncts to - gracious entertaining -- electric grills, percolators and toast- ers that make it possible for a hostess to take care of unlimited guests with ease, A late leisurely breakfast which combines breakfast and lunch and has come to be known -as "brunch" offers a delightful 'way to entertain informally guests of all ages while the new gadgets minimize the work to an- incredible degree. Table Cooking Simple Take the electric toaster which automatically prevents too-brown toast and insures the piping-hot; non- goggy variety at any moment which jou may put on a tray all equipped signed to hold - marmalade, butler, cheese, relishes, and savories, The technique of table cookery is simple but exacting. - First of all, in using any piece of table equipment. be it toaster, waffle iron, grill 'or chafing dish, he sure that the food to be cooked on it or in it is ready and that all other utensils are at hand. ; : If there is to pe a first course be- fore the electric appliance is needed, let the toaster or iron heat while the first course is being eaten. Then the first pieces of bread may be slip ped into the toaster just as the course is finished so that there will be neo awkward waiting. This menu for brunch may be changed, of course, to suit individual needs and tastes. Wedges of iced honeydew melon, scrambled eggs- with crisp . broiled bacon, toast, cheese, marmalade, date bread, coffee. - ' A mild cheese such as Edam or cream is delicious with either toast or date bread and adds an original touch to the breakfast. : And here's the recipe for bread: : One cup bran, 11% cups pastry flour, 1% cups whole wheat flour, b teaspoons baking: powder, 1 tea- spoon salt, 1 cup chopped pitted dates, 1 cup broken 'nut meats,' 1 egg, 1% cups milk, 1 cup strained honey, 2 tablespoons melted short: ening. ros Mix and sift--pastry.. flour with salt and baking powder. Add "bran and graham flour and mix well. Add dates and nuts. Mix. Add egg wel beaten with milk and honey, Beat well and stir in melted shortening.

At the Hugh John MacDonald com- munity centre, Winnipeg, a dress for a two-year-old girl was composed of 64 pieces of cloth, It was made by a woman of the community. A pair of blue pants for a little shaver was made from 86 odd scraps. The origin of both were well disguised and dit not. resemble Jacob's coat of many colorss BEAUTY ASSETS In these days of low decolletages a beautiful back, smooth shoulders and snow-white arms and elbows are as important to a woman's beauty as a perfect complexion and pearly teeth, No evening gown can do justice if your good grooming habits are applied only to face and neck. Remember that the daily bath is the first, and certainly the most im- portant, step to daintiness and beauty. For instance, there's the lit- tle matter of -a bath brush. There should be oné'in every woman's bath- room, and she should use it every day. If you don't own a brush, invest in one of the new, long-handled varieties with uniform bristles that are fine and soft and which will not irritate the skin. : When you've 'thoroughly cleaned and. massaged: your back and shoul- ders, remove the brush from the handle (modern brushes are made that way, you know), and scrub arms, elbows, knees and feet. Notice how the, vigorous brushing removes dis- coloration and scaliness, Incidentally, daily massaging of the back stimulat- es circulation and will clear up small time... ae After your thorough bath, pat neck, arms, back, shoulders and legs with a body lotion or oil. Col- ogne or toilet water are easy to use and actually will keep the skin smooth and beautiful. VINEGAR AIDS Many and various are the virtues that lurk within the vinegar bottle. Wart vinegar ¢ffectively removes heat marks or stains from mahogany and, if one is willing to use a modi- cum of elbow-grease, acts as a polish tco. Lacquer tables also respond to the same treatment, but the vinegar, though it cleans, is apt to dull the surface. A rub with a soft cloth and a spot of paraffin successfully com- bats this. Neglected paint brushes (saving those with hairs glued in) may be fitted for work again by sim- mering in boiling vinegar for about half an hour. Follow by a good wash in soap-suds. Fire grates assume a cheerful brightness with 'a fraction of the ordinary labor, if vinegar is used to moisten the stove polish, while cur- tain rings and hooks, rusty and dirty with age, regain self-respect after a prolonged boil in vinegar and water. The subsequent polish whilst hot secures a brillant shine. Wash-day anxieties are lessened considerably by its aid, for, added to the water used for rinsing colored clothes, vinegar will help to set the colors without injuring the fabric. Moreover, its * magic will success fully rejuvenate ancient-looking black lace, Soak the material in a solution of vinegar and water in the proport- ions of two tablespoonfuls to a pint. Afterward: rinse in cold coffee, and iron, still damp, between two pads of woollen material. Tiresome culinary operations may often be accomplished more easily and quickly with vinegar's kindly aid; for instance; a cracked egg will boil quite well if a little vinegar is added to the water, while the flesh of fish may be kept firm and white during cooking by adding vinegar to the liquid in which it is being boiled.

HINTS FOR HIKERS Clean your pots and forks by sprinkling them with wood ash from the fire and rubbing them with a bundle of leaves or grass. Dig kni- ves into the ground to clean them. If soft soap is rubbed on the back of a pan before cooking it can be wiped oft afterwards and the soot collected will go with it. Stamp out your fire, taking par- ticular care to see that the ends of charred sticks are: not alight. Throw any hot pieces into a bog or pond, and, if possible, water the site or spread over with a layer of wet "earth 'or sand. HINTS If you have made your frosting -a bit too soft and the layer cake is in: clined to slip off unevenly, run a few tooth-picks through the layers, hold- ing them in place until the icing hardens.

Place -- The uJninhabited southwest of Jerusalem, "But 'an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip." Philip had been doing angelic work, and it is not strange that an angel was sent to direct him further. God rewards faithful work with more work. "Saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza." Down because Jerusalem is on high ground, while Gaza is on tiie coastal plain, "The same is desert." This was added to the direct- ion "in order that Philip might dis- tinguish between the two roads which joined Jerusalem and Gaza. "And he arose and went." A long journey of sixty or seventy miles stretched out before him. "And be- hold, a man of Ethiopia." A great country south of Egypt, now called Nubia and Abyssinia. "A eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians." The Candace, a name for the queens of Meroe, the northern kingdom of Ethiopia, just as Pharaoh was the name of the kings of Egypt. "Who was over all her treasure." Her chancelldr of the exchequer, or secretary of the treas- ury--one of the most important of- ficials of the kingdom. "Who had come to Jerusalem to worhip." There were many Jews in Egypt. Discover ies made within the last few years show that in the fifth century B.C. there was a colony of Jews settled already for a long time on the south- ern frontier of Egypt where it bord- ers on Ethiopia. "And he was returning and sitting in his chariot." The ancient chariot was a horse-drawn vehicle, usually with only two wheels. "And was read- ing the prophet Isaiah." Much of our success in life, much of the fulness of our preparation for the next life, depends on our choice of books. "And the Spirit said unto Philip." Were not the Holy Spirit and the angel of the Lord who had sent Philip on this errand, one and the same Person? "Go near, and join thyself to this chariot." The lines are closing in. The light is breaking on Philip's mind. He begins to see why God has sent him down this desert road. "And Philip ran to him." His run- ning showed his obedient. eagerness. "And heard him reading Isaiah the prophet." The custom of reading aloud was (and is) universal in the East. "And said, Understandest thou what thou readest?' It is in this country spirit that the Christian worker, in |] the Sunday school or elsewhere, will seek to throw light on the Word of God. "And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me?" In these days of universal.Bible-study a man is occasionally met with who insists on getting along without "helps"; the Bible itself is enough for him; commentaries would only hamper and confuse him: But the part of wisdom is to take advantage of every possible assistance in getting at the true meaning of the Scriptures. "And he besought Philip to come up and sil with him.". He did not hesitate to make a friend out of the travel-worn stranger, and to admit his own need of instruction. "Now tne passage of the scripture which he was reading was this." The verses quoted here are Isa. 653: 7; 8. "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter." The prophet speaks of the Messiah, and his sacrificial death for the sins of the world. "And as a 'lamb before his shearer is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth." This prophecy was fulfilled by Christ's refusal to plead his cause before his judges. . "In his humiliation his judgment was taken away." In the violence and injustice done to him his judgment, i.e.; the fair trial due to him, was withheld, "His generation who shall declare? for his life is taken from the earth. Who shall tell the wicked- ness and the violence of the men 'of that generation which rejected and slew him?" -- Dean C. J. Vaughan. "And the eunuch answered Philip." He answered Philip's inquiry as to the special difficulty which he found in Isaiah's words. "And said, T pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself. or some other?" This is the question still put to us by modern scholars. The (treasurer's question went to the heart of the matter of prophecy, its reality, its authenticity, its part in the prov- idence of God. "And Philip opened his mouth." A phrase introducing momentous utter- ance, see Acts 10 : 34; Matt. 5:2. "And beginning from this scripture." This is the way to start any person on the Christian life: begin with him where you find him, go on from there. "Preached unto him Jesus." The sor- rows of Christ's crucifixion were not thé end. The life which had thus end- ed in shame had begun again in glory: the cross had led on to the crown. "And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water." All the while St. Philip was talking, they had been driving on across the desert; and at last they came to where a stretch of water lay cool. "And the eunuch said, Behold, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" It is evident from this question that Philip had not only preached Jesus as the Christ, but had also spoken of the individual's re- lation to his kindgdom, other things of baptism. "And Philip said, If thou believ. est with all thy heart, thou mayest] Ard he answered and saul. I helieve that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." As is well known, the answer to the eunnch's question is wanting in awuthoritative manuscripts, The in- sertion may have been due to the creeping into the text of a marginal note, "And he commanded the chariot to stand still." He was a busy man, but he was wise enough to see that no business was so important as to obey | and among the word of God. "And they both. went down into thé water, both. Philip and the eunuch." The Lord! Chancellor and the humble messenger of the cross become Christian brothers in that hour of true fellowship. "And | he baptized him." The rite of baptism, | solemnly commanded by our Lord, is the most fitting entrance into the Christian life, "And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the caught away Philip; and the eunuch ed suddenly, for he would have his work stand in the power of the Lord and not in his own power. "For he went on his way rejoicing." The in- cident is a most inspiring example of the benefits which flow from Bible- reading, when the heart is tender and true and the life is quick in obedience. Six Pointers On 'How to Drive Ab Jenkins, Holder of Num- erous Records, Has Never Had An Accident. Ab Jenkins, the man, who holds more American Automobile Associa- tion records for distance, speed and driver -- and has never had an ac- cident--gives six practical suggest- ions for safe driving in the current Yotarian Magazine, They are: _ 1. Keep both hands on the wheel, hands." 2. Keep the best tives on the front wheels, "The front-wheel blow-out is by far the more dangerous. When blow-outs do happen, danger can be averted by clinging stoutly to the steering wheel." 3. Always test your brakes. "During the first hundred yards of giving, I always test my brakes by pushing down the pedal. The brakes may have frozen, they may be greasy, or need adjustment." 4. Be extremely careful at twilight. "Your have three times the ac: cident" hazard at twilight that you have at 8 a.m. Defective visibility is, of course, the reason. Remember, too, that nizht-time crashes have a forty-two per cent. higher fatality than daylight accidents." 5. Don't use brakes in a skid. "To come out of a skid throw out vour clutch and manoeuvre the steer- ing wheel so that the front wheels are in alignment with the rear ones. Braking is ineffectual. Your main con- cern is to equalize traction on all four wheels, which you do by throwing out vour clutch; your next move is to get all your wheels in line. "As soon as vou feel the skid weakening, let in the clutch, 'gun' the motor, and re- sume forward progress." 6. Study the road. : "Always reduce speed when pass- ing from one type of road to another. Your right wheel should be approxi- mately one and one-half feet from the outer edge of the highway. Run- ning off the road is common. Thirty- one per cent. of accidents are due to speeding, while thirty-four per cent. are caused by cars going off the road." Beware of saying or doing any: thing foolishly or rashly in opposit- ion to powerful persons.--Cicero, Clever children, we are told, are often spoilt by their parents. Which just shows the power of mind over mater.

Finds Pua i eri Lomdon.--Why are womeh bored by repetition work . than men? leas are The question, which has been* wor, rying poychologists, is claimed to have been answered by Dr. Sibyl Hor. ner, medical inspector of the factory department of the British Home Of- fice, in a section of-the annual report issued by the chief inspector of fac, tories, © Dr. Horner says that women and girls can undertake repetition work and enjoy it because they are ca. pable, as men and boys are not, of maintaining "a nice balance between | In effect, a prescription for the pre- vention of boredom," Women, she infers, can remain "fancy _free," giving, with true fem. inine adaptability, half their thought to the work in hand while allowing the remainder to roam where it wills, whereas men, employed in the same way, give their whole attention to the one thing and, slaves to their machine, irk under its bondage, But the woman's ability to live two lives has its drawbacks, Dr. Hor, ner ssays that the discipline and in. terest of factory routine are good for women, and getting better; that the provision of good and regular meals gives them a better standard of health and that the certainty of wages insures for them a higher stan. dard of living all round, But, unfortunately, factory work does not constitute the whole of a woman's working day, When a man quits the factory he is usually free to amuse himself. When a woman quits, she has, in nine cases out ot ten, to start a second day's work where the first left oft--the cares of home life descending upon her. This, says Dr. Horner, is undoubtedly the drawback of being too adaptable, In Great Britain, the main indus. trial field, for women are the tex i tile, the pottery and the tailoring and Pdressmaking trades, in each ot which they outnumber men, More and more they are being employed on the lights er machine processes of all industries and in repetition work, Since they re. present relatively cheap labor, and, in many cases, are capable of a high degree of manual skill. There are, at the present time, 1, 835,686 women and girls employed in factory work, of whom 1,391,193 are over 18 years ol age. Medicine and Human Progress George Glasgow in The Contem- porary Review observes: If there is one activity of science which more unequivocally than another depends for its justification upon whe saving or the comforting of human life in its physical operations, that activity is medical science. Yet medical sei- ence also is enrolled for the purposes of war, for the destruction, not the saving, of life. The "bug-merchant," who in his cleverness plans the bae- terial processes to overcome disease lends himself also to the opposite cause of planning them for the pro- pagation of disease in war time, for war purposes, The scientific aspect of modern politics is an increasingly re- levant aspect of the problem. In its crudest form the problem is how to make the world safe for human be- ings despite the scientists and the politicians. Tt is not a problem that is likely to be solved in 1925 any more than it was in 1922, 1927 or 1930.
