cooked in cold water and in double boiler You use a quart and half of cold water to every pint of rice. Pro- portioned this way the. rice absorbs all the water. Of course hot water Is used in the lower boiler. and 1t Is boiled about three hours.
 If you have a white fur rug or a white dog to clean dry plaster of paris or powdered French chalk is the thing. You rub 1t into the fur until every part has been cleaned, then you shake the fur out (the dog will do it for himself). and behold an effect as good as new. This is q valuable hint in cold weather, for 1t is dangerous to wash a toy dog, and 1t certainly is unpleasant to have him running around in 8 smutty state. If you want a spring tailor made now is the time to get it. There are plenty of lightweight winter suits which cam be worn late into the spring. and they are marked down to almost half price.

 William" said the bride after they had returned from the honeymoon they had been lovers from childhood and she had been rummaging around among his effects, what have you locked up in that long box with the brass, padlock?"
 His face flushed and he made an ef- fort to change the subject, but she in- sisted on having an answer.
 -'T want you to give me the key to that box. she said.
 "But-but my dear." he answered, T haven't any key to it. I've ,lOst it."
 Then I'll have the 1ocksmith come and see if he has any that fits it. You have no right to keep secrets that I may not share"
 But, darling, this is something that you wouldn't care to-
 "WiIliam Waddums, do you think I'm a fool? l shant stay under this roof with you another night till l know what's in that box"
 T assure you my dear. it's nothing that you'd be interested in. Honestly T'-
 There's some woman mixed up in it!' she cried. I'm going right home. Don't dare to touch me! Oh-oh--oh."
 She covered her face with her hands. The terrible thought was crushing her. and William Waddums, the wicked, wicked wretch, was afraid the people in the flat below would hear her wild cries of despair So he opened the box and bade her look.
 Then at last she knew what had be- come of all the impossible neckties that she had given to him as Christmas presents.

It is remarkable what fuss some reople make about the slightest things they do. For instance, take the man who is always "so busy" And listen to, what his wife says about him
 why, before Imarried John was scared nearly to death for fear he would break down, he was so rushed and worked to death. He told me he slept about four hours week. not in his bed either, but bumped up in chair. all dressed. As for his meals h'm-well, he merely shrugged his shoulders with blase smile: he hadn't had time to eat one square meal in three days. He was actually so busy the week we were married that was deadly afraid he would miss the cere- nony altogether.

Then We used to have revtvals lasting as Ions as month in warehouses, the attend- ance being SO large, the churches couldn't accommodate the congrega. tions.

 There are more beggars in Mont- gomery now than remember of ever seeing here before. and if you help all of them. 1t amounts to something.

The beggar goes to the proper official, pays his license fee and gets a numbered badge which he Is compelled to wear on his Only those applicants for licenses who are examined by the city physician ss to worthiuess are given license. That procedure keeps all persons who arc not really needy off the streets and pro- tects a generous public. All beggars are allowed to beg once a week and the people of Montreal make it a purpose to change whatever amount of money they wish to give to charity into coins of small denominations and every ap- pIicant for aid Is helped.
 These unfortunates live comfortably throughout the week on that one days work. and persons are not troubled every day of the week by beggars on every street corner.
 Montgomery Is not as large as Mon treal by a great margin and we might use the same system with the exception that two days of the week should be allowed them.
