This means a long dreary inter- val spent sitting in the car or buggy, if there is no rest room, which do- tracts very considerably from any pleasure which the outing has for the women. Many farm women say they had rather stay st home than stand around. Even if one is lucky enough to own an auto, the rest room is none the less valuable, " even in an auto one gets pretty well blown about on a windy day, and after battling with the elements for even a comparatively short distance, one appreciates being able to get one's hat on straight once more and the stray ends of one's hair pinned up. It is also nice to have a place where one can meet one's friends and have a chat, instead of having to stand in the street, or in some store. Undoubtedly women will come is greatly ttttity Th; ' I-Lm-nb ,. What is the value of a rest room in the nearest town or village to the farm women in the neighboring com- munities? It would be diNeult to estimate, but I have not the slightest doubt that women who already enjoy these privileges would not part with them for the world. All state they have many times been repaid for the time and money spent in their estab- lishment. The country woman, especially the woman who has young children, knows what it is to get them nicely dressed, all looking spick end span, ready for a drive of anywhere from six to fifteen miles, to the near est town to do her shopping. The day is hot, the roads are dusty, and when they arrive at their destination, the children are all mussed up, and the mother feels tired, blown about and untidy. How nice it is to know that they can go straight to their rest room, have s wash and tidy up gen- erally, rest s little while, and per- haps make a cup of tea, before they start out to do their shopping and to meet their friends. They passed through the pleasant rooms, making new discoveries It every turn; the tea wagon that send so many steps between stove and din- ner able. the shiny white enameled kitchen cabinet with its marvelous bins and cupboards.

I had the veranda screened in, a flower box built at the east end and a Japanese screen hung at the west end. Clematis and honeysuckle climb- ed up the netting in front. With a hook high enough on the screen door to keep little fingers from unlasten- ing it, I could put the three little tots out there to play with their toys and know that no harm could come to them. Later I added a long strip of matting, porch pillows, a hammock and a veranda table. The summer that the veranda was screened in I noticed that our living room was nearly deserted. I took my sewing out on the front veranda, my husband read his paper while he rest- ed in the hammock; the hired girl found the screened veranda the cool- est place to shell peas and beans Jn the morning and to crochet in the after- noon; in the evening guests always said: "Let'g sit on the veranda, it's so cool and pleasant here." When it came my turn to entertain the missionary society they voted to have the meeting on the big front veranda. When I needed three rooms for entertaining a large crowd one summer evening the screened veranda made the third and was the moat pop- ulnr of the three. Ranked with flowers and green branches " both ends, it certainly did look Inviting. be put up, or two or three empty orange boxes might be put together draped with muslin and made to serve the purpose of holding a library.

The old-fashioned house in which I once lived had a long front verarvia facing the north. But it was little comfort we derived from it, for com tinually we had to watch to keep the babies from rolling off of it.

The majority of domesticated ani. mals are Asiatic in/origin, such as horses, dogs, mules, donkeys, sheep. goats, honey bees, chickens, ducks. ete., and this alone shows that domes- tic man had his tirgt kingdom in Asia. Yet it is strange that the countries with the longest human histories are to-day the least advanced. A vegetable club sandwich makes a splendid emergency luncheon. Toast two slices of bread for each person and broil one slice of bacon. Have ready lettuce, tomatoes, and cucum- bers sliced. Put on half the slices It large leaf of lettuce, tomatoes, then the bacon and cover with cucumbers and more lettuce. Add a spoonful of mayonnaise and the second slice of toast and serve at once.

Interesting points regarding mater mony are raised by a clause in the will of a London magnate. Much of his property is leit in trust for his child- ren, the income trom their shares to be paid to their mother until each child attains the age ot twenty-seven. The maker ot the will expressed an “earnest with and desire" that no child should marry until that age was reached, Imnd'l Nttiategtt Guru humour“. Another sandwich that is popular with the masculine side of the family is an onion sandwich. Cut the onions into very thin slices and let them stand for some' time in cold salted water to extract some of their strength. Spread thin slices of brown bread with butter and a thin coating of mustard. Season with paprika and salt. A very good sweet sandwich is made by mashing 1,tirt:t,yioeod'"h,ar,t' and entrants should be coo ed a bit, sweet- ening them and spreading between slices of white bread at.en cool. Unusual sandwiches for a garden party can be made by picking nastur- tium, clover or rose blooms and pack- ing them about both the bread and butter to be used in an tir tight tin box the night before. Wrap the but- ter in a cloth. When the sandwiches are made they will have the fltwor and odor of the flowers used. Serve on sandwich plates garnished withaRhe flowers. cut very thin, and either brown or white breed is used. A particularly dainty and delicious andvrlch for a refreshment sandwich is’mnde from cucumbers. Try to pick them all about the same size. Peel and crisp on the ice. Cut small circles of bread, a little larger than the slices and put one slice between, covered with a bit of mayonnaise. If n more substantial sandwich ls desired, a supper sandwich for ex. ample, make a potato salad with chop. ped chives, cut large slices of brown bread, spread with butter, put a let- tuce leaf on each slice and fill with the "lad.
