and One-half cups of flour with one
half teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon
of baking powder. Add One-half cup
of the flour to the first mixture and
beat thoroughly, then add the rest of
the -four and One-half cup of milk, al

a square of chocolate into the batter

Sauce-Beat two eggs until very

ers sugar and one cup of thick cream.
Beat until the whole is the consistency
of whipped cream.

for custard pudding is this: Beat
until very light the yOlks of six eggs
and seven tablespoons of sugar. Pour
slowly ON them a quart of hot milk,
in which is a small pinch of salt; fill
butter'ed custard cups with the
mixture, set in pan of hot water and

above all things, do not forget that

Often-told story in the eyes of the
women who are her friends, and every
reading hardens his heart against her.
That she could think these things
might be fOrgivable But that she
should dare to tell them! She, the
woman of all women to him. And
there is nothing so hard as the hard
ness that can take hold of a loving
heart.
And she who is a woman feels the
story in the altered manner of the
men who are her husbands friends
and her pride comes forth and encases
her heart in an armOr of steel, and
there is no getting through it.
Silence! Wise is the woman who
takes it for her shield. 1t is better
than the sharp tongue that is indeed a
sword Instead of wOrd-thrust for
word thrust, the wise woman slips
quietly behind the shield of silence and
the battle is thing of the past.
Hard? But why? Would not there
have been much more if she had drawn
her ready sword? Is it nObler to say
a hard word back than it is simply to
be still?
There is a time to speak, and duty
calls for words that are not always
pleasant to hear But the wise woman
knows that this time has not come to
her if anger is alive in the heart of
her hearer. Argument is of no avail
unless it grows out of honest truth
seeking. a silver-tongued orator could
never convince an angry man of the
simplest truth. The best thing to do
is to leave the man alone. He who
is angry is POSSESSED of a devil. IN

come healing. for your charity will
fill the troubled heart. This is one of
the miracles of love.
Whatever may be the nature of the

can the story go if nobody tells it?
And if it is not good story. though
indeed it may be a true one. it is better
that is should not go abroad Is the
world better for all the pouring out
upon it the vile details of crime? Is
your daughter safer, your son nObler,

The Dignity of Silence.

We have found such a timely article
in the Security of Silence, in the May
issue of the Ladies' World, that we
want our readers to have the benefit
of it. Every word penned is of vital
Importance to our women, hence the
timeliness of same The writer says
There are times when the minds
about us are warning one with another
There is a misunderstanding in the
neighbOrhoOd, trouble in the church
discord in the family. Unless one is
sure of bringing forth the word in sea
son. there is nothing like the calm Sc
curity of silence. 1t is a refuge in q
time of trouble. Just being quiet. Bu1
this is not the timid silence of coward
ice. nor the stubborn. silence of anger
1t is the golden silence of right think
ing. The calm-center of the storm.
We all think vastly well of Oul
spoken word. We set high value up
on what we have said. A thought en-
bodied in a sound we regard as thing
of Importance. Just a simple un-
spoken thought we may be willing to
give up. since nobody will know that
we found ourselves mistaken. But
our word, That is another matter. If
we don't stick to it and stand up fOr
it we are indeed poor creatures, and
who Will? We must live up to ou1
spoken word.
We may be sorry: forgiveness. re-
pentance, a full knowledge of the truth
may enlighten us. but we said it and
we cannot take it back We gave ouI
version of the story. we spoke our
mind in the quarrel. We remember
how clear we made it all when we

a willing listener. We recollect how
we reasoned it out so that the veriest
fool might ste our wisdom and our
friends folly. We became Interested
Intensely interested, and made point
OF going carefully into it all.
And now that it is all past. how
when the storm has cleared and we see
objections, that were distorted. in the
direct, simple light of truth: now that
the beam of unrighteous Judgment has
fallen from our eyes so that we see
naturally, now we want to forgive and
forget, but we have provided against
the comfort of forgetting We must
live up to our Indignation.
If only we had taken refuge i'm tbe

promoted by sleep of the right kind
while broken and insufficient sleep will
tend to produce the very opposite

Wakefulness is a habit which can

collapse.

ist, if. when sleep or the desire for it |

mechanically and a certain number of |
times.
