Rubber Articles Return To Homes Rubber gloves, the kind house- wives wear to protect their hands while washing dishes or dyeing clothes, are- now back on the Can- adian retail market in limited quan- tities, and represent another step in the gradual return of the rubber household products so widely used in peacetime, The gloves, like other products finding their way back into the omes, are not made of natural rubber, but of neoprene, one of the synthetics. Pot scrapers, fly swatters, and many other articles are now being manufactured from reclaimed rub- ber, and some of these are already in the retail shops. A dirndl to ensnare HIS heart, Pattern 4653.

You stay on as the Baron de Morpin, here in you Chateau Philibert." "But you, madame--" ""17" The bright eyes danced and sparkled. "Well, 1 have thought of that. "I shall be your housckeeper." "But, madame--" "Stop making objections, This place is like a museum and it's dull as a morgue and it is the mercy of the good God that has caused sonic excitement to happen. It will be good to have these little ones. There is no reason in the world that they should ever know you were the butler, We can have a new man in the morning. I'll phone to Gabriel Follet at once." "But will it not be cruel to de- ceive them, to let them think--" © "No!' screamed madame, "No! No! No! But it would be cruel to have them learn, after being bombed and torpedoed and frozen and starved, that they are very likely to be at least frozen and starved again, my old one. ror» "There!" She lowered her voice as she saw the hurt, the trouble, the defeat in Rudolph's pale blue eyes. After all, he had dreamed of greatness once, of the high places, of ease and opulence. "I did not mean that you would be unable to maintair. them, but three is quite a number and children need . so much! Believe me, too, you will be doing a kndness to a lonely old woman. Not in ycars have I had the prospect of such fun or looked. forward so much to anything. You must do as I tell you, Monsicur le Baron. 1 must begin calling you baron." . Rudolph stared at Madame Fa- bre-Lusignan, comprehension com- ing like a slow dawn into his eyes. "There are no words, madame -- none that 1 know in any language, {0 express--". "There may be some in Siwash,™ eaid the old lady, biting on a roll, "but skip it, Rudi. When do the young ones arrive?" "1 should judge from the little 1 have digested of the press account that they wil" be. here on tonight's train. They know the name of the station, St. Didier des Montagnes." "They speak French? English?" A "I do not know.

HEADACHE POWDERS 1 ISSUE 20-1940 Austrian, with little French or English." "It is well then, They will travel _ in ignorance, even were there any to tell them you do not own the Chateau Philibert." "Some day they'll have to know, madame." "Oh, tell them then you lost it in a poker game. Now I shall talk to that sly lawyer, Gabriel Pollet, on thetelephone and have him send a staff. I'll also tell him that my home is now the house of my guests, the Baron Rudi de Morpin, the young Princess of Gratzen, the royal cousins." : "It sounds like a dream, ma- dame." She smiled up at him over the white telephone, like an old pixy. "I began to live again, Baron. I must also call my nephew, Roger Fabre, and tell him the same story. He would be one to come blunder- ing in and spoil things. 1 take it Rudolph -- Baron -- it would ruin everything if the pretty Meridel knew--" * L » "She would not stay. 1 think," Rudi shook his head. "If she Is ltke--" "Ah!" The black eyes danced. "Al, it was then her mother for whom you vowed to build the gold- en castle." Rudoph nodded slowly. "She was born for a castle." "All women are," said madame, "Though most see theirs in the smoke from the kitchen stove or the steam from the wash tub. Ah, you, Follet, my old spittoon. how goes it I want you to send me some servants at once. I am en- tertaining royalty. Oh, no, my smart friend--not Napoleon; nor am I Cleopatra. You listen to me and keep quiet." St. Didier des Montagnes is only three hours by car from Montreal. Gabriel-Follet who of late had ob- jected little to madame's most ex- travagant whims, sent the requir- ed domestics up to the mountain chateau so quickly that it savored considerably of Aladdin's lamp. * » » The old lady inspected the new cook, maids: and butler. The chauf- feur had already gone to meet the wheezy old train that arrived at St. Didier every other night. The baron, the subdued but stately Ru- dolph, had accompanied - him. These people, madame had stipu- ated, must know nothing of her status at Philibert. She was the housekeeper, Madame Laurin. She had left off the usual ghastly makeup, donned a black silk dress and white cap and looked the part. She was a great actress, madame. Rudolphl's eyes glistened when he saw the way she curtsled in the great entry hall of the chateau as the princess and her little cousins walked up the wide steps. LJ] LJ LJ The new staff gave thelr respect- ful salutations, genuine awe in - their eyes. This was indeed a prin- cess. True, she wore an old tweed Burberry that had seen many storms and a fawn felt hat that was battered and out of shape, but her hair was llké Marguerite's find when she uncovered her head 'the thick braids of it lay coronet fash- fon like things woven of golden sunbeams, and her mouth, though | red and soft, was imperious; the blue of her eyes was deep and fearless. The blond little boy, Pol Martin, stood on one side of her, Rosine with long straw-colored curls and great blue-black eyes, clung to her hand.' They looked about them and suddenly Merldel's mouth twisted and she flung her arms about Ru- dolph's neck and hid her face against his shoulder; the little ones came shyly close to him. They were like nearly exhausted swimmers in a wild sea, mused madame, who have at last reach- ed the safe and solid land. And in that moment she thanked God that she had done this thing. "If it please Your Highness," - sald madame In slow French--*I shall show you and the little ones to your apartments" With a nod she dismissed butler, maids and cook. The chauffeur had entered with the meager luggage. (To.

TABLE TALKS Adapt Recipes To Foods On Hand One of the many problems of the home economists of the Con- sumer Section, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, is developing recipes for available foods and adapting them to toddy's needs, With an eye to "shortcutting" and simplifying they have worked out some new, streamlined combina- tions of familiar foods. Here are some of the new tricks recently discovered by these ex- perts. Macaroni and spaghetti are usaully cooked before mixing with the other ingredients but here is "a modern simplified version.

Six serv- ings. those who have suffered CHRONICLES of Yesterday I was down town and I met many persons who looked happier than I had seen them for some time, That haunted look was gone from their eyes ,.. they want- ed to-stop and talk about where their boys were and what they were vloing ... and possibly for thé 'first time in months they talked without restraint and without fear. It was good to talk with them. * * * Yes. it is easy to, rejoice with those who have reason for rejoic- ing. But what of the others? On the day of victory what can one say to "he widow whose only son was killed when his plane crashed just a few short weeks ago ... or to the father whose ninetcen-year old son-was recently the victim of a sniper's bullet ... or to the family who, as yet, have no knowledge of the whereabouts of their son re- ported to be a prisoner of war in Germany. And zbove all, bow can one find words to sympathise with the young wife and mother, who in the midst of general rejoicing, re- ceives word that her young hus- band has been killed in action? Perhaps these are not very cheerful thoughts -- nevertheless one should remember there are hunireds of such cases in our midst -- and if one remembers, then naturally one takes care that will not be wounded still further by tactless and over-exuberant ce- lebrations if it is in our power to prevent it. : * * * Happily, there is another side to - the picture, The long looked for rex turn of the "five-year" men, Hus- bamis who must learn to court again the girls they married. Fa- thers renewing their acquaintance with the kiddies who were mere toddlers when Daddy went away. And who can match the pride of the father who sees -his son or daughter for the very first time? Some 'of these happy family re- unions are taking place day after day ... and now that 'the war is over. every mother, every wife and _- every sweetheart, whose loved ones have been spared, will feei that at last she can really hope -- GINGER FARM 'greatly i hope without that nameless rlread -- that the time will come, when the boy, or boys, who went away, will be marching home-again, Yes, but we shall need to have patience and fortitude, Wars are not settled overnight, Fighting will cease but there is.still mueh work to be done, and the lads who wear the King's uniform are needal for the job. And there is still Japan! * * * As for us -- particularly for the women who wait -- we 'have our work to do -- there is no room for idleness or relaxation while un- dreamed of distress prevails in Europe -- but we can go forwarl with. hopeful hearts, doing the job that nearest, helping, each in our own small way, to build a new world, making our homes and our communities places 'that our .boys will be glad to_come back to; re- membering always that it depends upon us whether the boys will say upon their return "THIS "was worth fighting for!" o That "Pro" Look Keep an ironing board and iron set up yhile sewing, Each seam should be pressed as soon as it is stitched. This produces neater, more tailored results and gives the . garment -that professional look. Dr.Chase's RADOL oawes BLACK HORSE sreweny
