Eggs that are sold on the King- ston market must he dp to stan- dard which has been adopted by the Dominion Government, On Satur- dey morning a dominion govern.' ment egg inspector made an exami- nation of the eggs which were of- fered for sale. A Kingston dealer who suspected that a basket of eggs which he bought were not just right had the inspector look them over. It was found that the basket con- tained six dozen and eight eggs that could be sold as firsts. Eight eggs were rated as seconds and could be used but must be sold for less money, and nine were rotten. The inspector ordered the" man who gold the eggs to refund the money which were paid for the rotten ones, It is stated that at this time of year some sellers have a habit of trying to work off packed egge for strictly fresh ones, If is the intention of the inspector to see that eggs are 0.K., so people who figure on slipping in a féw packed eggs had better be on guard.

After much observation [I have come to the conclusion that the houseworker does more worrying than the office worker. I have been my business-women friends with my house-keeping friends and fihd that the latter are the more inclined to "cross brides" which often never materialize, Per- haps the reason for this is that the office worker is surrounded by other workers, whereas the housekeeper generally has long hours alone about the house while her husband, chil- dren, or other members of the fam- ily are out. And being alone is conducive to introspection. Now I do not mean that I think housework unhealthful, On the other hand, I believe it is the best and most normal kind of work for a woman. There is a deep-rooted domesticity in every one of us which finds expreéesion and satisfac- tion in housework, Also our hours spent working alone should be made beneficial by some real interest which we may think about, rather than let our mind turn to brooding analysis of our problems, To illustrate my point I am going to tell you a true story: A woman living in a small town was an in- v . WOMAN'S INSTITUTE. ° Beeley's Bay. On Thanksgiving evening, Mon- day, Nov. 10th, a play entitled "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party," was presented by members of the Insti- tute and othér local talent, The musical part of the programme in- cluded a musical comedy, 'Ten OW Maids," by girls of the village and a solo, by Maurice Murphy. The hall was well filled and the financial results were very gratify- ing to the ladies, whose alm was to raise funds for the mainténatice of the street lights. Sunbury. The meeting of the Sunbury branch of the Woman's Institute met at the home of Mrs. George Rit- chie on' Wednesday evening, Nov. 26th. There were twenty-five mem- bers and a large number of visitors prsent. After the usual opening exercises a discussion arose as to what kind of cupboards and tables were needed for the kitchen of our new hall, and Mrs, Sharp kindly gave us a long table which was suitable and saved expense of buy- ing one. Mrs. Farry Shannon and Mrs. F. Fisher reported purchasing a sink of white enamel for the kit- chen for the sum of $7.50. The la- dies also decided that they would oil the floor in the hall. Mrs. Sharpe was appointed to purchase oil and George Ritchie engaged to put oll on. The committee to purchase cur- tain reported that they have im- terviewed the carpenters about ine stalling the curtdin and fixtures. The council purchased the rod. Another discussion arose as to the opening of the new hall, The ladies have de- cided to open it with dedication ce- femonies and special music and an interesting programme, lunch to be served at the conclusion. The idea of having a play was withdrawn. It was decided that it would be better to withdraw the December meeting and the January meeting is to held at the home of Mrs, Harvey was listenéd to with, much enjoy- | ment and much valuable informa- tion was given. A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Anglin by Mrs. Dixon, seconded by Mrs. Miss Lee favored us with a charm- recitation, Mrs. William Coop- cessant worrier, She wore a con- stant, unnecessary and unbecoming wrinkle by pulling her eyebrows together over possible; "bridges" ahead. Sometimes these bridges were expenses which she feared that she and her husband could not meet; sometimes they were little temptations which she pictured her children encountering -- and suc- cumbing to. Then one day she decided to let her will conquer her fears and she refused to worry. She had never been a great reader, but she now found that it helped her to keep an exciting novel or detective story on hand to pick up for a few mo- ments when her worries won the battle with her will. Finally she succeeded in getting out of the worry habit, for worry is a habit which grows and grows and grows upon ome' just like any other habit. This little battle of will against tears was waged ten years ago. To- day she and her husband stand debt-free, the owners of an unmort- gaged~home, with a tidy sum saved up against the futufe; her children, now young men and women,: are upright, good church attendants, re- ¢pected by everyone. I need not glad she did not spend the past ten years in needless anxiety which would have added years to her looks. And other housekeepers who "cross bridges" can do just as she has done. i All Inquiries adaressed to Mis Kirkman in care of the "Ificiex flousekeeping" departmeni. will he inswere4 {n these columns in tb~'r turn.
