Dear Miss St. John: Not long ago a bride wrote to your "Corner" asking if she should try to hold her husband's love by keeping him guessing as to the state of her own affections. Now, if that fellow is anything like me.he married to get a loving companion. He considers his wife to be far too good to think of be- ing untrue to him in word or deed. So she will not gain anything by trying to ruin his faith in her. A man wants to be as sure of his wife as he is of his Maker. John Jones. --Ans.: Youare quite right, Mr. Jones. And may I add that the rule works both ways. Really loving couples are always sure of each other. : Ina St. John., * * me Dear Miss St. John: A short time ago I read an interest- ing way of foretelling one's future husband's appearance. I cannot re-' . collect just where I read it. Did you ever print such rules in Cupid's Cor- ner? Georgette. Ans.: No, such "rules" were never printed in the Corner, Georgette.

H. Smith. In St. Marys, which is in Mr. Smith's inspectorate, there have been abvut four appeals. The Strat- ford appeals will be considered the last week in August by the local entrance board, composed of In- spector Smith, W. L. Sprung, prin- cipal of the Collegiate Institute, and D. S. Fuller. In St. Marys, the entrance board rs : -------- is composed of Inspector Smith, A. D. Lamont, principal of the Col- legiate, and M. McLeisch, principal of the Central School. There are many grounds upon which unsuccessful students base their appeals. Sometimes it is on the grounds that they went below the mark in one subject but that their total was sufficient. MIllness, advanced age for public schoo! at- tendance, and financial inability of parents to keep the children go- ing to public school any longer are sometimes advanced as reasons for considering appeals. The minimum on one subject at the entrance examinations is forty per cent., and the total must be sixty per cent.

Breathing deeply at critical moments does more to make one master of the situation than all the clever plans put together, because it makes one clear-headed and sulve.

Then try a few deep breaths ting out the breath. Then slowly take ! all your troubles, real or fancied! To achieve good health and good spirits, however, deep breathing must be persisted in regularly. One needs to breathe often as deeply as one does when running. and the consequent ability to expand the chest, a simple, easy way is to stand a few inches away from a cur- tain and try to blow it with all the air possible sent from one's mouth. Keep standing further away from the cur- tain until the point is reached where blowing barely moves the Measure the distance of this point from the curtain, and then try each day to get results when standing fur- ther away. In this way one can see if lung power is gained. BEEF A LA FRANCAISE Cut % pound of cooked beef into very thin slices. Cream together two tablespoons butter, one tablespoon minced parsley, salt and pepper. Add slowly one tablespoon lemon _ juice. Spread some of this mixture over each slice of beef. Arrange slices carefully in a well-greased baking dish, add five tablespoons hot water or gravy, and sprinkle fine bread crumbs over all.
