Daintiness is an important consid- eration in tempting the appetite of an invalid. For instance, a poach- ed egg served on a plate alone( as I have often seen them served!) has no appeal; where the same egg ser- ved on delicately browned toast- points would attract the 'eye and sfimulate the appetite. Large por- tions are also taboo; if the invalid cares for more of & dish, she can ask for a secand_ helping. Nor should the invalid's dishes be too sweet. The simple fruit, meat and vegetable flavors are most ap- petizing. Try some of the following on the sickroom tray (of course, af- ter they have been pronounced suit- able diet for your particular invalid by the doctor). Orange Albumen: Into a glass jar with a tight-fitting cover, pit one un- cooked and unbeaten egg-white, the Juice of one large orange and either one-tablespoon of sugar syrup or one tabléspoon of powdered sugar. Cover and shake till the ingredients are well mixed but not till the egg- white has become foamy, Lemon Sponge: Soak one teaspoon of granulated gelatine ia one table- spoon of ¢old waiter for a few min- utes, 'then turn this into one-fourth cup of granulated sugar, and one tablespoon of lemon juice, and stir till the sugar is dissolved. Set aside till it begins to congeal (that is, till it begins to cling to the sides of its receptacle) then fold in one-half of a stiffly-whipped egg-white. Beat till smooth and stiff, then heap in a dainty sherbet cup and set on ice till thoroughly told and set. Meat Custard: Dissolve one-half teaspoon of beef extract paste in one-third cup of cold water, then add this to one-half aup of hot sweet milk. Season with salt and "stir in two well-beaten ¢ggs. Turn all into a custard cup, place thé cup in a pan containing. a little ' hot water, and slip the cup and pan into a moderate oven t> bake till the cus- tard is set (that is, till a knife blade, when inserted in the middle will come outclean.)

Her green frock and the kerchief she wore were most attractive and her dances were among the most enjoyable numbers of a splendid programme, Kingston people will hope to have the pleasure of seeing her dance again. That the students are coming back to Queen's this week and once more the dances and gaieties at the Uni- versity will be in full swing. The students add much to the pleasure of the citizens in various ways. The hockey matches, plays and dances are enjoyed, and Queen's is the cen- tre of much social activity as well as a renowned seat of learning. That while we should always be courteous to our fellows, we should reserve for choose our own friends and com- panions. We frequently hear young people, and sometimes their sliders, give as a reason for associating with people who they know are objection- able in many ways say: "Oh! every- one goes to their house; everyone knows them." Not everyone, they will find out if they think a minute, only those who will sell their self- respect Ter what they consider "a good time." We all have a certain responsibility in the upkeep of the social fabric. To keep its standard high, its amusements clean and its conversation free from objectionable gossip. Every person who strength of character enough to make a stand and quietly and court- eously decline to make associates of men and women whose rule of life and conduct does not come up to the standard we know to be a right one, is helping to keep up that standard and to make Canada a safer place for fufiire generations, That the Kingston Historical So- ciety will shortly hold its annual meeting and when plans will be made for this year's work. The so- clety accomplished much in 1925 in the opening of the Murney Tower as a museum for Kingston and Fron- tenac and the members look forward to making the new museum even more interesting in which they will look for the assistance of the people of the city and county.

Thou hast entrusted to 'me th duty of ruling this house and o ministering to this family: let me not fail in it. Guard me from idleness, from foolish indulgence, from harsh exac- tions.

THE ALL-ROUND CANADIAN. One thing that strikes the tra- veller in Canada is that we have no Canadians. If you ask & man what nationality he is, he generally says he is Scotch, or Irish or what- ever the case happens to be. What then, or who is a Canadian ? We have people from all nations o¥/ the world--English, Irish, Scotch, Dutch, * French, Swede, Russian, German, Chinese, Italian and Am- |} ericans but when we speak of the Canadian, we generally mean the Anglo-Saxon Canadian, the English, Irish and Scotch races. A Canadian, among the noted authors, public speakers, and clever college dents. You very seldom hear of a Canadian woman who does not know | li the value of money. They can adopt the Parisian styles to their needs and always look smart. Most Canadian {women are educated and refined, and has {have that soft low voice which I |think it was Solomon who said was|| an excellent thing in a woman, and Solomon should know, as he had elght hundred wives. A good de- scription of the All Round Canadian Woman can be found in the thirty- first chapter of Proverbs: "She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not 'the bread of idleness. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all" The foregoing was written by a member of the Institute at Shawville, Que.
