Sometimes, most often in fact, the fire needs to be nursed and replenished; sometimes--and here I speak of great loves--the fire, untended and upfed except by dreams, burns on all through one's life." "You mean I shall always--al- ways remember him?" "You will keep what you have of him," said madame gently. 'That is woman's burden, To carry with her things that can only hurt her, burn her, bring her misery. But she cannot be rid of them and she is so made that I doubt she would rid herself of them- if she could." "Are we such poor things then, madame?" "I'm afraid we are, my child."

Life went on evenly 'enougit at Phillbert. Although Roger had gone, Meridel and the children did not return to the city when vacation ended, and Ru- dolph spent most of his time at the mansion that he had, from long pre- tense of ownership, come to look. upon rather as the place where he : belonged. Meridel stayed because "heaven, "Roger." "your maddnie' needed her now and the children could have good schooling from Miss Carrick and the other teachers whom the government had provided. $ «= Roger was still in England. Nev- er a great one to write letters, he contented himself now with the odd' cable, a verbal message entrusted to some homing associate in the Air Force, a few' lines on a post- card, a Ictter or two to Meridel. One she received in February said, "I hope to be with you soon, In the long weeks that have passed since we said goodby at Phili- bert, I have often wondered if I did not dream all the lovely things that happened there--as well as those unlovely, You are still mine Meri- del?

That's the way it was with me last Wednesday. With niece Betty to help 1 thought I need have no worry at all, in fact I was so confident that I of fored to serve supper for a bach olor neighbour's threshing which followed our own. Everything was coming along fine that - morning. The meat was already cooked trom tlie night before; there were scal- loped potatoes bubbling away in the oilstove oven; ples all made and all the other little exlras ar - ranged for. However, when I began thinking about supper I was a little afraid there might not be anough told meat left over to go around, and, it being early closing day I was afraid to take any chances. So Belty and I took our- solves to town for supplemeunlary meat suppliey, . > It was eleven-thirty when wae returned--and the oil-stove had burnt itself out! Yes, completely burnt out, even though I had fill: -- ed the reservoir the night before. Our burners use #pecially treated - wicks and if by some unlucky chance the stove runs dry it Is an awfully long time before they can be persuaded (o burn properly again. It just seems impossible to hurry them. I was just about fran- tle. The potatoes were cooked but not browned.

It was like a reprieve, I gave a great sigh of thanksgiving and relaxed. Five minutes later Betty came in from the barn and said the men had changed: their minds ---- they wera not going to finish the mow and would be In at noon. They came , dinner was actually ready . , . they ate and wera filled --I hope . . . they retired --- and left ma as limp as a fresh wet wash. ° ° Supper wasn't too bad except for the fact that, with the threshing machine across the road 1 had no means of knowing when it satop- ped . . . and the men arrived for supper ten minutes ahead of time. More rush! After supper, Just about the time we were clearing the table, Betty took a' violent headache -- probably from the dust when she visited the barn. So I sent her to hed and did the dishes mysell. At nine-thiry 1 shortened the table, collected the towels and table- cloths, and called it a day. And of course It was not only J who was tired. The men were "not only tired but théy were red: eyed and coughlng as well--and another threshing In view for the next day. Howéver, as I said before, the threshing is all over again until next tlme--and we will worry about that when we have to--but I can aBsure you that when we do thresh' again I shall be making sure my oil stove doesn't run dry again, ® ° And speaking of oilstoves --are you one of the many who has trouble in *baking with a coaloll oven? Do your pies and cookies burn on the bottom and refuse to got brown on the top? That 1s what I have been up against for years, even though I have the top of the oven well covered with cat- alogubs. A few weeka I tried an- other stunt. IT took a large piece of asbestos, doubled it, .and then laid it across the bottoin .of the oven leaving enough room at elth- or. end for the heat to circulate. The result was better even than I had hoped for. Plas no longer burn on the bottom and I can now leave tliom In long enough to get nicely browned on the top. . . ° Well, our little dog Tippy thinks [ have been writing long enough.

What is the correct salutation for a woman to use when tele- phoning to another waqman of her own social position? 5. Should the coffee spoon ever be left standing in the cup? 6.

Sometimes the knife is held closely to the plate with the right hand. 2.
