It was for the sakedof his work itself that she pro- tested, she assured him. As for her own' "laims, she did not wish to put them: forward, though it was rather lonely sometimes of an evening, and tiresdme too, to have to wait dinner at leasf four times a week. * Once or twice 'she had hazarded a gently re- £0 remark in Which the word ct" had been playfully inter- polated; but he had looked at Vor with ive an astonishment that per- orcd she held her tongue. And this blindhess of his held good with regard to others of her wishes. Theoretical- she had of course been aware of gxistence of all these humbly sit- ed blood relations, but had not doubfed that they could be "kept in theif place" by judicious treatment. Andiso they could have been, if only Joh would hear reason. As matters g, they acted as a dead-weight to soarings of social aspirations. The eighborhood of the quarries was in i@elf a grievous trial. What was the 'good of carefully avoiding every refeflence to them, when John on all gle occasions plumped out with § reminscence of his own work- lays? "And that ubiquitous slate- , from which there was no get- tingdaway, in the shape of doorsteps and eats, and even queer, irregular gs, just as though it took a kl pleasure in provoking Ella by thders of the sore subject! If John, on his side, was ous indis- tinctly aware of somethin, his mar- riage which fell short poy ba expecta- tions, it was principally because the marriage itself had never been to him the event which it had been to Ella. If gradually he dropped out of the habit of discussing his work with his wife,» wham he found generally too much occupied with domestic "im. his devoting. himself to. his! bys but did his duty demand of | e { Plovements® to lend him an undivid- #4 agiention, this was no great Reticence was far more natural | f ally answered. ther Harel I fo "him than expansion, which had, in ct, been only a ing phase, artifi- ash provoked. Wi scarcely a pang a he returned to his former exclusive|li self-communions. Occasionally, ads he viewed the "im- provements" Ella ssured him were essential, a mild bewilderment would come over him. The white cap and apron which the maid-of-all-work was rigorously compelled to don before opening the door, the dessert plates and the finger-bowls (out of which he had began by trying to drink)-- I'there were things so strange to him|to s to be almost disquieting. Gently,| to but firmly, he had been trained to change his coat every evening, and ;| had got used to the silk blouse in which Ella sat opposite to him as she dispensed the roast mutton, without quite realising that the increased | smartness of her appearance belonged to the process known as "dressing for dinner," Though unable fo see the necessity of these things--and even at moments uneasily aware of something that jarred between them with his private conception of his life-task--he never actively resisted them, partly because they did not seem to him of enough importance, and partly because rebellion would have appeared to him ungrateful. ~ Could he, in justice, 're- roach Ella with wanting to beautify fer home and his--with striving to minister to what she took to be his bodily wants? ' Because, personally, he happened to be a born ascetic, supremely independent of creature comforts, could he therefore fail to be touched by her efforts to do things which she evidently considered \ought to please him? At the end of that year the situation might have been summed up as a mutual but not yet acute disappoint- ment, conscious on one side, subcons- cious on the other, and here still veil- ed by the concentration of mind on what had remained the chief object right through the episode of marriage. To say that Ella had entirely cooled towards her husband would be unfair. Her admiration for! his person per- sisted, but of her enthusiasm for his work "there remained but the ashes. The social drawbacks of her surround- ings © hopelessly outweighed the de- lights she had expected to draw from their picturesque elements. The very picturesqueness was not of the sort which - appealed "to her, except in theory. All that rugged grandeur was too high and broad--in one word, too big for her personality, whether of mind or body. The peevish twitch of the lips began to predominate, betraying a growing fretfulness. - Theexcursions in the mental balloon afore-mentioned had likewise been resumed.

Easily said, thinks the.mother, but how does one make it? Or, worse still, she doesn't think at all and hurries home to cook up something that is far from the healthful thing the doctor' intended. Here are a few recipes for foods fre- quently used in caring for the children. Barley Water.--Two tablespoonfuls of pearl barley, one quart of water. Boil continuously for six hours; as the water boils away, add more, keep- ing the quantity one quart. Strain through coarse muslin. It is well to soak the barley before cooking it.

Oatmeal Watar.--One tablespoonful of 'oatmeal blended with one table- spoonful of cold water, Add speck of salt." Stir iri"one quart of boiling water. Boil three hours, adding water, as it boils away. Strain through fine sieve or cheese-cloth. After the sixth month, either barley or oatmeal water may be used in preparing the infant's food, instead of plain water. Barley water is to be used when there is looseness of the'bowels, and the oat- meal when the tendency is toward con- stipation. Barley Gruel.--Blend two table spoonfuls of barley flour with a little cold milk, and stir into one quart of scalded milk. Cook in double boiler two hours. Add a little salt and sug- ar.

Canadian women have long regard- ed cheese merely as an accessory to the diet, and not as a staple supply- ing real food value. - In fact, most women believe cheese, when 'used in large quantities is indigestible and harmful. Experts of the Department of Agri) culture have found-that cheese issel-: dom a cause of physiological distur- bances, and may easily be nzed as the chief source of nitrogefieous food. - When cheese ig served as a "sib- stitute for meat or other stapl and this has beén done very sucéessfu ny ; pap vl should regul oe. : fully the Other part of the s: as they' % dhe SE ig of he ae 4) accord- ing to the meat they intend to have, as green peas with lamb, 'With cheese etisp, resh' vegetal ce, |. celery (and water eress, sh be usec with or without dressing.
