For generations the menu has been plan- ned to end triumphantly with the dessert course. They should add a touch of festivity and glamour 19 the meal. Choose your dessert course wisely for it can mean the difference be- tween pleasure and dissatisfaction. Your success and reputation as a cook depend largely upon the des- serts you serve. Since desserts are served when the appetite has been partially ap- peased, they must be attractive in appearance. Colour, texture and shape all play a part in this appeal, si the dish in which they are serv- ed. Always remember the _ dessert course should go hand-in-glove with the main course--the one compli- ments the other. If the main course has been heavy, then serve a des- sert which is light in texture, with a fresh, tart flavour. On the other hand, if the main course has been light, it gives the homemaker ample scope to use her rich steam ,pud- dings, or sweet heavy desserts. The home economists of the Con- sumer Section, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, suggest that you serve some hot and some cold as an antidote to monotony.

THE REAL POWER (Halifax Herald) In the course of a debate in the British House of Commons recently, Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin asked: "Where does the power to make law actually rest?" And he proceeded to answer his own ques- tion: "It is not even in this House of Commons; it is certainly not in the executive; it is in the votes of the people. They are the sovereign authority." That is democracy. It is upon record that Queen Victoria once thought it necessary to remind Mr. Gladstone, then prime minister, "You forget, Mr. Gladstone, that I am the Queen of England." "Yes, Your Maj- esty," replied Gladstone, "but I am England--the People." It might nat be amiss for some of our parliamen- tarians at Ottawa to ponder this im- cident and the words of Mr. Bevin. The authority of government--exec- utive and parliamentary--is derived and received from the people.

THE STRATFORD MIRROR A PROUD HERITAGE Dear Miss St. John: When I was quite small I had a lovely mother as well as my good old. Dad. She died before I grew up. She taught me that it is wrong and very unkind to make fun of anyone. Dad has always told me to "Give the underdog a hand". These two rules have become definite "musts" in my life. I am seventeen now and last night my best girl friend gave me a talk- ing to. She says I'm okay only for my silly ideas. She explained that when one of our gang makes a fun- ny crack about someone, I spoil the fun by looking glum. Often I even make them feel cheap by saying something nice about the one who the joke is on. Then she thinks 'm are not popular with anyone to come to my parties, and then pledge the rest to see that they have a good time. Do you think it is selfish of me to impose my ideas on my friends? I have only tried to live up to my parents' code. Please give me your honest opin- ion Daisy Belle. Answer: It is a pleasure to meet a person who has the courage of her convictions, Daisy Belle--a pleasure that is as rare as it is uplifting. It seems to me that your "code of life" is very near perfection. Certainly your friends must feel a jolt when they are brought up short in their sport of enjoying themselves at the expense of others, but they will recover. They may feel reluctant to spare a few minutes of a gay party of their best friends to interest themselves in a dull, un- attractive or shy "outsider",. but will live through it! They may even catch some of the glow from your shining example. Deep in their hearts your friends will love and respect you for your way of life. It has been said that one bad ap- ple can spoil a barrel of good ones. It is not equally true that a tiny candle can dispel the terrors of dark- ness! Stick to you guns, Daisy Belle. You will have nothing to regret. Ina St. John. A STUDENT BOY FRIEND Dear Miss St. John: I like to read the letters in the Mirror. Now I am going to tell you my troubles. My boy friend is nearly twenty. school now. It will be years before he gets the degree he wants. We are not engaged but we do have an understanding. .I believe). he'd marry me now if he knew Id be willing to go on working until he is through. I would not be a burden to his people as they are not well off. Do you think it would be all right for me to let him know how I feel about it? Hoping to see your answer real soon, I'll sign, Patsy. Answer: Well, Patsy, if your stu- dent boy griend wants to marry you now, he will let you know. Why not wait until he decides to ask you? After all, it is the man's privilege. You are young to marry. Wouldn't it be better to leave the boy free EEO) -- OE) -- >) 1) ( } g Just Among Ourselves | A regular department conducted for Mirror readers \ by Ina St. John. a >> ----0--- to study?

My hus- band has a white collar job and we live in his Dad's house--rent free. My folks furnished it. Everyone seems to think we are getting along fine. The fact is we have a big time keeping out of debt. He is getting a very small salary and no chance of a raise. My dad could pay him well to work for him. He would have to wear working Glothes and start at hard work but after he learns the business he would do well. His peo- ple urge him to keep on where he is. They say he is no labourer. Do you think I should urge him to go to the new work? He really wants to only for what people will say. Mary. Answer: This is a matter for you and your husband to decide. One thing is certain. False pride never yet kept a family in comfort. Ina St. John. Little Johnny, aged seven, had been taken to the zoo to see the an- imals. He stood before the spotted leop- ard's cage for.a few minutes, staring intently. Then, turning to his moth- er, he asked: "Say, ma, is that the Dotted Lion that everybody wants Dad to sign on?"
