THE STRATFORD MIRROR | =. CUPID'S -- POEM FOR TODAY. It matters so much if we smile; It makes the whole day more worth while. It matters so much if we sing; It makes a whole life worth so much The slow, Sweet, loved remembering Of gentle words and kindly touch, Of peace and love and lifting up To singing lips love's holy cup. | a ee --F. McK. Dear Miss St. John: 3 I am a young girl five feet six inch- | es tall, light brown curly hair, blue eyes and am considered good-looking. I am rather gay and like a good time. I have a proposition on my mind that ~*~ Address all letters to Miss Ina St. John, Mirror Office. [ Answers will appear the week following your enquiry. work. However, my bank account is box factory or debts. What do you is bothering me, My boy friend is quiet and does not like me running Dear Miss St. John: - I have a_ splendid business educa- tion with five years' experience at office work. But it is impossible to find a positon of that kind just now. | My uncle owns a box factory in an- other city. He has offered me employ- ment there. The work is light and clean. I am very strong so I would not mind the comparatively long hours. But my friends say I am lowering my ! standard of living by taking such almost down to zero so it is a case of think I should do? ELVA, Answer: } In these days anyone who is out of ! around much. He does not like me to work yet turns down employment that go with any other boys but he can't | get off only once or twice a week at ish. nights and he can't get Sundays off | as he works at a Service Station. Do) you think I should be a little quieter | | friends. and not go out with other boys or not? TROUBLED, Answer: It seems to me that your friend is rather selfish Troubled. He really has no right to dictate to you as to how you spend your time when he is working. But probably it is because he is fond of you and he is afraid that he will lose your friendship if you go out with other boys. However, unless you value the young mans friendship | above everything else, a girl as young as you should enjoy yourself with the other boys and girls when your spec~ ial friend is working. (If you were older and engaged it would be a diff- _ erent situation). A young girl how- ever, should not be "running around" every night. As to being gay or quiet--just be natural, and as long as you conduct | "yourself as a lady you will be all right. Ina St. John. * * & : Dear Miss St. John: I am all but engaged to a lovely girl. Last week a cousin of hers came to visit at her home. She is a most dazzling girl--locks like a doll, and ~ dances like a fairy. She seems to be wild about me and I know I will soon be crazy over her, But here is my problem, I fear she will forget me when she returns to her home in Buff- alo. In that case I would be losing both girls. She leaves here next week. What is the wisest thing for me to do? ; RED. Answer: ag You would be very foolish to allow a passing stranger to vamp you away from your girl friend, Red. Rest . as- sured that she is not a reliable person despite her fascinating appearance, or she would not be trying to win you away from the cousin.who is enter- taining her. In all likelihood she will promptly forget your existence when she leaves this city. So I would urge to you to stick to your lovely girl friend and leave the stranger alone. they are able to do is worse than fool- By all means accept your uncle's , offer until you secure something in. your own line.. The friends who cen- : sure you for it are not worth calling Ina St. John, * * * Dear Miss St. John: 'I have become overweight by many pounds. But I am very fond of cake.

Thanking you in ad- vance, | CLEOPATA. | Answer: Honey may be used instead of sugar or molasses, and it makes a more de- licately flavoured product. When used | jin place of molasses less soda is re-, quired (about 1-2 the amount). One cup of honey corresponds to 11-4 cups : of sugar. Honey cake made without butter will keep fresh for months and , improve with flavor. - Ina St. John. , ASBESPHALT ASBESTOS & ASPHALT This can be applied right over your old roof, and adheres per- manently; makes a heavy veneer over the entire surface of any roof and proof against rain, sleet, snow and the insidious ac- | -ion of ice.

The path of duty leads not where the sound Of rippling waters soothe the aching breast And lulls the tired spirit into peaceful rest-- It is where blows are felt, and many a smarting wound, Remember Christ, thy pattern and thy stay, He trod the selfsame path of stone dross; By cruel suffering He has led the way-- Then follow Him, and, like Him, bear the loss; Look high above thee where the sun's clear ray Reveals thy crown when you hast borne the cross. --Joseph Thornton. a a There is no doubt that paint is the shining way toward economical home beauty. If I needed further confirma- tion of this opinion I have received it from my friends, Elizabeth and Bill, who, with only $300, and through the magic medium of paint and an intel- ligent and harmonious use of colors, have made their apartment a place of beauty. "I suppose Bill and I were rather foolish to get married before we had anything saved up," said Elizabeth, as she proudly showed be about her little place; "but it is great fun keeping house together. All we had for furn- ishing was $300. Dad gave he $200 and a lot of good advice, and Bill sold his old car for $100." I found it difficult to believe that the beautiful furnishings could have been purchased for so little, but Eliz- abeth told me the price of each art- icle and yard of material, and figures cannot be gainsaid. Of course, no value was put upon the work involved in painting, making curtains and cushions, and as this was regarded as a labor of love, it cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Elizabeth as- sures me that the satisfaction of see- ing the result of the work of their hands has amply repaid them. She says that after painting the first piece of furniture which turned out satis- factorily, she found the work perfectly fascinating, and could hardly be drag- ged from it to eat or sleep. a * * JELLIED STRAWBERIRES Crush and sweeten one box of strawberries and place in a bowl. After the fruit has stood for an hour or so remove all the juice possible, and add to it enough water to make one pint. Add 1% tablespoons gelatine softened in a little cold water after the pint of juice has been heated. Stir well, pour the mixture over the sweet- ened strawberries, and place in a wet mould. Set in a cool, dry place to be- come firm. Turn on to a platter de- corated with crisp lettuce leaves, Place a border of large strawberries all around mould. Slice as cake, and serve with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored. B & cd A BEDROOM TO PLEASE MASCU- LINE TASTE When a man's preferences alone are | to be considered, they fall usually in the direction of rich rather than deli- cate coloring, to accord with furniture of substantial character and comfort- | able habits. | Walls of a warm biscuit tone with |a ceiling of ivory, would give suffic- |iently light treatment, to which weight | might be added by the use of oil stain |on the wood trim and for the floor. Furniture of mellow dark walnut is ;}a favorite masculine choice, and since iit must seem to rest upon a solid foundation, a pile rug in soft brown would be very suitable.
