Poppy was silent. _ For a moment her eyes, dark and inscrutable, met Fraser‘s; then she looked away, and in a low voice addressed Flower. "We‘ll be married in New Zealand," he said, softly, "and then we‘ll come back and I‘ll have my own again. Jack told me you were going out on her. Another man has got my craft; he lost the one he had before, and I want to give him a chance for a few months, poor chap, to redeem his character. Besides, it‘ll be a change. _ We shall see the world. _ It‘ll just be a splendid honeymoon." e on No t 4n "I suppose you know best what is to be done," she said, quietly. "You leave it to me," said Flower, in satisfied tones. "I‘m at the wheel." There was a long silence. _ Poppy got up and crossed to the window, and, resting her check on her hand. sat watching the sestless life of the street. The room darkened slowly with the approach of evening. Flower rose and took the seat opposite, and Fraser, who had been feeling in the way for some time, said that he must go. (To be continued). f "I determined to live," repeated Flower, glancing at him defiantly. "I brushed the wet hair from my eyes, and strove to move my chilled limbs. Then I shouted, and anything more dreary than that shout across the waste of water I cannot imagine, but it did me good to hear my own voice, and I shouted again." _ MA Rhubarb Baked in Casserole.â€"Wash and drain a bunch of rhubarb, then cut in oneâ€"inch pieces. _ Put in a casserole and add oneâ€"half a cup of brown sugar.

He paused for breath, and Fraser taking advantage of the pause, got up hurriedly and left the room, muttering something about matches. â€" H "What a terrible experience," and Poppy, as Fraser entered the room again. "Shocking," said the latter. "And now you‘ve got your own ship ajain," said the girl, "weren‘t your crew delighted to see you?" _ _ "I‘ve not seen them yet," said Flowâ€" er, hesitatingly. "I shipped on anâ€" other craft this morning, before the mast." "Fullâ€"rigged ship Golden Cloud, bound for New Zealand," said Flower, slowly, watching the effect of his words; "we‘re to be shipmates." _ Rhubarb Roll.â€"Drain all liquid from enough cooked rhubarb to measâ€" "He doesn‘t like to hear of your sufâ€" ferings," said Poppy. _ _ k "I suppose not," said Flower, whose eloquence had received a chill, "but there is little more to tell.

The spring months bring in an abundance of nature‘s best gifts, the fresh fruits. mast?" OLLS repeated T the The colorings used for this stencil may be varied, such as red and green, pale pink and green;, the coloring will depend upon that of the rest of the room. _ If the stencil is to decorâ€" ate a hanging or cover, and if for dress purposes it will depend upon the general color scheme. Some oil colors will be needed, one or two stenciling brushes, and if the work is to wash well it is wise to buy a bottle of stenciling medium. It is said that Canadian women scarcely know the rudiments of econâ€" omy. Though this may be too strongâ€" ly expressed, it is certainly true that considerable quantitiee of food are wasted imthe average Canadian home. This may be due to ignorance or careâ€" lessness, or both. _ But if the women once grasped the fact that conserving our food supply is, in a very real sense, war work, and a definite duty to the country, more intelligence would be brought to bear on the problem. There is a tendency to put the emphâ€" asis on patriotic work outside the home (1) Loss through poor cooking, (2) cooking in larger quantities than nesâ€" sary, (3) buying materials of small nutritive value, (4) food out of season, (5) buying imported foods, (6) buyâ€" ing staple foods in too small quantiâ€" ties, (7) buying more of some foods than can be used before spoiling, (8) buying cooked foods that could be more cheaply prepared at home, (9) failure to make use of leftâ€"overs, (10) careless seasoning and unattractive serving, (11) too many meat dishes A useful little stencil to purchase is based on the wild rose and is very simple to work out; it can be applied to various articles, such as scarves, covers, curtains, bags, shades, etc.; the stencil is repeated, of course, as often as it is thought desirableâ€"this will depend upon the nature and the size of the article that is to be decorated. Put out on an oil plate or palette, some Alizarin crimson, white, lemon chrome and blue. If the material to be decorated is delicate pin it down with drawing pins on to clean white blotting paper, then pin the stencil in place, The uses to which a stencil can be put are almost too many to montion; all kinds of articles for personal wear can be so treated, such as scarves, dresses, sunshades, bands, etc., and for the home such things as lamp shades, cushion covers, curtains, bags, hangings, table covers, etc. to the neglect of national service which is waiting for us in the kitchen. No appeal has been made for us to undergo hardship in our eating. _ All that is asked of the women is that they serve simple, wholesome meals, eliminating all available waste. This avoidable waste may be summarized as follows: Rhubarb Sauce.â€"One cup rhubarb juice, oneâ€"half cup sugar, one tableâ€" spoonful cornstarch. Cook until clear, usually about five minutes. _ Serve hot or cold. Rhubarb Dumplings.â€"Prepare a dough, using the recipe given for rhuâ€" barb roll. _ Cut after rolling in fourâ€" inch squares. _ Fill the squares with pieces of uncooked rhubarb cut in oneâ€" inch blocks. _ Fold over the dough, then tie in dumpling cloths and boil or steam for twentyâ€"five minutes. Serve with sweet cream sauce. Stenciling is one of the daintiest, yet easiest, method of decoration. ure two cups, then make dough as follows: One cup flour, oneâ€"half teaâ€" spoonful salt, two teaspoonfuls bakâ€" ing powder, two tablespoonfuls shortâ€" ening, Six tablespoonfuls milk or waâ€" ter. _ Sift dry ingredients, then rub in shortening. Mix to dough with milk or water. Roll on floured pastry board oneâ€"quarter inch thick. _ Now spread the drained rhubarb over the dough, leaving a space of one inch all around the edges. _ Now roll like jelly roll and then put in a wellâ€"greased baking pan, pouring over the roll: Oneâ€"half cup rhubarb juice and oneâ€" quarter cup of sugar. Bake in a moderate over for forty minutes. This roll may be eaten hot or cold, wth a sauce made from the rhubarb. Economy A National Duty. 2 and 5 Ib. Cartonsâ€" 10, 20, 50 and 100 lb.

Gilâ€" bert Pearson. Wien completed it is scarcely larger than an English walâ€" nut, and is saddled on a small horizonâ€" tal limb of a tree, often many feet from the ground. It is composed alâ€" most entirely of soft plant fibers, fragments of spiders‘ webs sometimes being used to hold them in shape. The outer sides are thickly studded with bits of lichen, and practiced, indeed, is the eye of man or woman that can disâ€" tinguish it from a knot on a limb. Alâ€" though the humming bird‘s nest is exâ€" ceedingly frail, there is nothing on reâ€" cord to show that any great number of them come to grief during the summer rains, It is, however, not called upon for a long terms of occupation. Withâ€" in a month after the two white eggs are laid the young depart on their tiny pinions. Young birds that require a longer period for growth before leaving the nest are furnished usually with more enduring abiding places. In the case of the bald eagle, the young of which do not fly until they are many weeks old, a most substantial structure is provided. The following day we toured the dock section of London and saw the greatest commercial shipping district in Europe, if not in the world. At all the British ports the most impressive thing was the marvellous shipping acâ€" tivity. Ships big and little, steam and sail, tugboats and liners, rushing through their port operation in order that they might be back at sea. When the war started Great Britain controlled approximately half of the merchant marine of the world; that establishment has now been taken unâ€" der Government control, and by reaâ€" son of transfers to British registry it is quite possible that despite all losses England now possesses a larger proâ€" portion of the world‘s seagoing capaâ€" city than when the war began. Hunâ€" dreds and hundreds of vessels owned in neutral countries have been bought or leased or contracted by the allied Powers. The production of new ships has been interfered with by the reâ€" quirements of the navy, but nevertheâ€" less new ships are being constantly and with incessant rapidity produced. The sailors, of course, are intensely bitter against the submarines. The perils of the sea are ample without beâ€" ing accentuated by such a treacherous foe. Until this war broke down all the rules of civilized conduct the world had gone on for centuries steadily deâ€" veloping means for increasing safety of life and property on the wide waâ€" ters. Now there is no law of the sea save the law of German murder and piracy; but the sailors of England go right on heaving their anchors and sailing to all the ports of the world. It has become a matter of honor with them. A saucer, of milk, a piece of white soap and a piece of white cotton as large as a handkerchief will clean kid gloves and leave them in a soft spotâ€" less condition. Put the soiled, gloves on your hands, dampen a corner of the clean cloth, put over first forefinger of the right hand, rub once or twice on the soap, and then gently stroke the glove from the fingers to a clean place on the cotton frequently. â€" Do not rub the kid both ways but always from the fingers up, ger. With the sailors, indeed, the submarine is humorously treated a« a joke. If it gets your ship, why, you row around in the boats until you are picked up and carried ashore, where you promptly stand up for another voyage in the next boat. emesdaalhwe. PRousrarnar td Though England never since 1848 has attempted to feed herself, yet durâ€" ing this war she has not only fed her own people, but in large part has proâ€" vided the supplies of her allies, The cargo boats have attended to that. They are England‘s pride, they are her mainstay, her backbone, the guarâ€" antee of her ability to make the whole world her ally whether it will or not. In Liverpool Harbor. We saw vessels from literally every quarter of the globe coming and goâ€" ing, bringing and taking every conâ€" ceivable sort of cargo, says a visitor in England. We were assured that Liverpoo! had not known one case of officer or sailor refusing to ship beâ€" cause of submarine or other war danâ€" Despite Submarine Warfare the Proâ€" portion of Seagoing Vessels Is Unchanged. When the story of this war is finally writtenâ€"as of course it never will be â€"the narrative which will contain more of real, quiet, uninspired heroâ€" ism than any other chapter will be that dealing with the work of the mercantile marine.
