NEW CLOSET SPACE How to fit new closets in the old houses when they are being reconâ€" ditioned is often a perplexing probâ€" lem which may be solved in a bedâ€" room by building one in each of the two corners in a wall. This forms an alcove in which the head of a bed may be placed, in the French fashâ€" ion. Pastelâ€"hued walls, gray or rose, for example, are appropriate in such a room. Another good place for elosets is the space on either side of a fireplace chimney. it will throw out new shoots and that these shoots will be situated so that they will make a respectable looking plant. But, for those who have the time and who like to do the unâ€" common thing the Chinese method is to be preferred. Rubber plants have a bad habit of growing too tall, but the Chinese have a cure for it. They make a "gooâ€"tee" which is a ball of clay held together by moss or fiber around one of the nodes (or joints). First, the stem is wounded or girdled just beâ€" low a node and then the ball is apâ€" plied. It is kept moist by water seepâ€" ing from a container above, down a soft cord which is wound around the ball, . After a few weeks roots are formed and penetrate the ball of clay. ‘The stem is then cut off just below the ball and the upper part is potted up as a new plant, while the remaining portion of the old plant may be discarded or encourâ€" aged to throw out new shoots down below . Of course a simpler and much less interesting way to shorten the rubber plant is merely to cut it off just above a node and hope that CRACKERS T he And the fireplac YOUR RUBBER PLANT s or other accesscries with alads because they feel that feet â€"salad needs no acâ€" iment.

When needed, cut the roll into halfâ€" inch pieces, and pretty lightâ€"green rosettes will be the result. A pretty way to serve tomatoes as a salad on lettuce is to serve two or three very small ones on each plate, peeled and their tops cut into points, tulip shape, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and covered with mayonnaise An interesting addition to a very plain salad, such as sliced tomaâ€" toes served on lettuce, or lettuce alone, is a small ball of cream cheese which has been rolled in finely chopped parsley. Fish served with the usual egg sauce is an everyday dish, but it can be transformed into something unusual at the very last moment before serving by adding to the sauce some chopped almonds or halved Malaga grapes.

Or the meat slices may be surâ€" rounded with tomatoes which have been stuffed with cottage cheese moistened with cream. Or the decoration may consist of olives, sweet pickles, and celery eurls. Or of olives and cubes of very stiff jelly or gelatine to which was added half a glass of bright red jelly before it began to set.

An ordinary meat loaf will look much more festive if over it, before it is put in the oven, is spread a little canned red pimiento or fresh or canned tomato pulp, to give the top of the loaf a decorative red color. _ It is a good plan, also, to A charming decoration for a platter consists of a few "roses" made from apple parings. Cut a long, thin apple paring, let it stand in the vinegar from pickled beets, or in the red water in which a small peeled and diced beet has been boiled. _ This gives the paring a delicate pink tinge. Then turn the paring wrong side out, and roll it up, roseâ€"fashion. (On each serving plate lay 3 fresh or canned â€" peach halves, hollow side up, in a small circle. Fill each hollow with vanilla or lemon ice cream, and pile ice cream in the middle of the plate. _ Sprinkle all with finely chopped almonds. Put over vanilla iceâ€"cream whipâ€" ped cream which has been tinted green. Garnish with Malaga grapes cut in halves or with greenâ€"tinted cherries, or with maraschino cherâ€" ries, or with nuts. Ice cream, served plain, is always one of the most popular of yearâ€" round desserts. It can gain a great deal in interest, however, if occaâ€" sionally it is served in some unâ€" usual, attractive way. Any good sauce, as chocolate or fudge sauce, gives it a charmingly dressedâ€"up look. Or ice cream may be placed between two slices of white cake and the whole covered with the sauce. Or pour over a dish of plain ice cream a cold, thick syrup made by cooking the strained juice of fruit or berries in an equal quantity of sugar until it spins a thread. Over this arrange a few cubes of the fruit or a few of the berries. A delicious topping for plain ice cream is orange marmalade from which all pieces of rind have been removed, leaving only the soft sauce. Parsnips will add to the charm of any meal if after they have been boiled until tender and then scraped, they are halved, dotted with melted butter, sprinkled with the tiniest posâ€" sible amount of granulated sugar then placed in a pan in the oven.

She tells of fair Prince‘s Lodge on the lovely shoresg of Bedford Basin where the Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria, spent a fortune in creating a country estate, tarough whose winding woodland pathways he wandered with Julie St. Laurent, Baâ€" ronne _ de _ Fortisson, the lovely French woman who was his "more than wife‘ for 30 years; of the old town clock he erected on (Ctadel Hill which has told the time for the good people of Halifax for 134 years; of Windsor, the Acadian Piziquid, from which started the cruel expulsion by Governor Lawrence of those unhap. py people whose unremitting toil had made the land to blossom and rejoice, home too of Canadas first university founded so that youth might receive a "virtuous education, thus diffusing literature, loyalty and good morals among His Majesty‘» subjects in Nova Scotia." The wriier, who is what is known in that part of the world as a "Hali. gonian," starts from the old Garriâ€" son City in her motor car to "disâ€" caver Nova Scotia." In the course of her explorations she accumulates a wealth of anecdote, of legend, of de«criptive _ beauty _ which _ makes her journey well worthwhile. Not only those who hail from what they claim to be the loveliest proâ€" vince of the Dominion, but all who take delight in "memories immortal and the dim farâ€"off things of long ago" will find much of interest, much of charm and a vivid recounting of historic highlights in a book just to hand "Down In Nova Scotia," by Clara Dennis (Ryerson Press),. Nova Scotia Charms place in it before baking, a row of hardâ€"boiled eggs, so that when the loaf is cut, the eggs will show in the center of each slice. TORONTO The change in public opinion reâ€" gard to the fashions in food is well exemplified by the tomato. â€" Not so many years ago the tomato was a. ‘ object of suspicion; today canned toâ€" matoes and tomato products constiâ€" tute the largest of Canada‘s cannery packs. Indeed, the story of the canâ€" ned tomato is one of the epics of Canadian trade. Ten years ago it was one of the least important of the food commodities sent abroad by Canada. By 1927 the export of Canâ€" adian canned tomatoes rose to what is now considered a mere 300,000 pounds. In 1984 nearly 10,000,000 pounds were exported to 31 different countries, 18 of which are British. The British Isles alone took 9,000,000 pounds. Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia are the provinces in which the commercial production of tomaâ€" toes for canning purposes and fresh sale is of greatest importance. The total acreage is approximately 20,000 acres. A~dependable cannery demand, even though this demand varies, is also of importance to those growers producing for the fresh â€" vegetable market." The grower,;: therefore, as pointed out in â€"the Agriculture Situâ€" ation bulletin, issued early this year, is vitally interested in both the domâ€" estic and‘ export demand for canned tomatoes and tomato products, We wouldn‘t lay his motive to any real desire to hurt Bill but rather keep clear himself. But aren‘t there times when a boy. or girl owes certain loyalty to memâ€" bers of his family even when they have done wrong? Every standâ€" patter on ethics will probably rise up and shout, "No! Above all let us have honesty! Everything must be sacrificed to truth." While we don‘t like we dislike still more the the woman or girl, who betray a loved one in â€" righteousness. Sso we would be inclined to lay Jack‘s motives to two things, The prank smacked of crime and he didâ€" n‘t like the responsibility of such a secret. And it may be, too, he wantâ€" ed to keep his own shoes clean, when the truth was discovered and it beâ€" came known he too knew all about it, he might have some explaining to do. Somehow we don‘t think it is the younger brother‘s habit to "squeal" about everything that happens, or this episode would not have upset his mother so much. "Should a boy stand up for his brother when he has done â€" someâ€" thing wrong," a mother writes. ""My oldest boy, Bill, was with a crowd of boys on Halowe‘en. They took the spare tire off a man‘s car and threw it into the river. Bill told Jack his brother, and Jack came straight home to me with the whole story. * "What Bill did doesn‘t bother me so much as Jacks telling it. Jack is in wrong with the boys now. Bill isn‘t a bad boy. On Hallowe‘en they all lost their heads, I think. It isn‘t that I wanted to protect Bill, either, because I think his father did right to punish him. But I hate to think of Jack as a tattleâ€"taleâ€"‘double crosser,‘ the boys call him. Don‘t you think there are times when it‘s better for a boy to keep some of the things he knows to himself. I don‘t know what to say to Jack because if I tell him I‘d rather not have heard it he might thnik I approved of what Bill did. "Don‘t you think a boy ought to be loyal to his brother, no matter what he does* Or do you think he felt it was better for Bill and his dad and myself to know? It certainâ€" ly did make trouble and now the rest of the crowd are annoyed with both Jack and Bill."

Mrs. Dionne has been denied all this pleasant experience. She could not get a cart which would hold the five children, and even if she could she lives in such location that it would not be possible to wheel it about. And so it is that no one stops her on the main street because there is no main street, and no one talks to her about having had quintuplets in their home because there have been no quintuplets in any other home. _ The doctor, the nurses, the man who presented five baby bugâ€" giesâ€"all these people it seems have come in between Mrs. Dionne and the joyous lustre which should have been hers alone. w Take for instance the mother of twins. When it is time for them to go out a bit there is a two-selter' secured and in it the twins are placed. Proudly she wheels the little cart right down the main street, and the people are minded to turn and look. There is almost certain to be some mother or father stop the little parade and say they recall well enâ€" ough when they had twins in their‘ home, and there is a comparing of notes and an interchange of reminâ€"] iscense, all of which causes the mother in question to become conâ€"| vinced that she is recognized in the‘ community. _ She has something to talk about in the evening after supâ€" In recent years Canada has forged to the front in poultry production and is now one of the léading counâ€" tries in quantity and quality of proâ€" duction per unit. This development cannot be attributed definitely to any one factor or group of factors but rather to a general program of Dominion, provincial and institutionâ€" al work, "Scientific Agriculture" points out. The research and experiâ€" mental work â€" along the various branches of the industry have continâ€" ually inclined to lower production costs, removing many of the hazards which confront the poultryman, and have enabled him to carry on, even at lower prices © for his products. The introduction of grading and betâ€" ter organized marketing conditions have further assisted in improving the general situation. Improved qualâ€" ity in the product resulting from advanced knowledge of poultry nuâ€" trition, improved methods of handling and grading of the product have stimulated home consumption until today Canada stands preâ€"eminently the greatest consumer of eggs per capita of any country in the world. In spite of what has already been done in connection with many phases of the poultry industry, many probâ€" lems still remain to be dealt with in placing it on the most satisfactory and successful basis from a comâ€" mercial and economical standpoint.
