Too often we hear the complaint from

an increase in salary, etc II my advice
were asked I would say to these girls
that they should look to themselves for
the remedy. They are too content with
mediocrity and in a large city only
those who excel are in demand and can
name their own price. To those who
are starting out I would say learn what
ever you are learning thoroughly. How
many women we meet in business who
only partly are prepared for the post
tons which they hold!
Many girls console themselves with
the assurance that experience is all thai
ranks. What a fallacy, They have not
sufficient foundation on which to builC
the framework OF experience.
There are other girls who have the
education and preparation, but who
after they have secured fairly remuner.
alive positions. are content with theil
lot and consequently after a year OF

WEEKLY COOKING LESSON
FROZEN DESSERTS
By CORNELIA C. BEDFORD.

When there is a good freezer in the
Kitchen and plenty OF ice at hand, frozen
desserts are among the easiest and least
expensive of dishes. This is especially
true with those whose homes are so
situated that they have an abundance
OF either wild or cultivated fruit to be
had for the picking. AS this is the first
OF a short series of talks, we will begin
with methods of freezing.
When coarse salt and finely chopped
ice are mixed together. the salt melts
the Ice, and the melting ice dissolves the
salt. The change calls for a certain
amount of heat, which is obtained from
the can of mixture TO be frozen. Hence,
to obtain necessary results, ice should
be finely broken or crushed The very
best utensils for this purpose are a
wooden mallet and bag Of heavy duck
or canvas
There are various types OF freezers
on the market, and all have their good
points. Some are known as triple-mo-
ton freezers and need to be turned by a
crank. They give speedy results, as,
by a proper attention 10 details, ice
cream can be readily frozen in from
five to ten minutes. Other freezers
need no such application of labor, work
being limited TO two or three STRINGS
of the contents of the freezing can at
Intervals; here the results are equally

Commune Whh the OUersoul

The root Of the idea Of loving people
and placing ourselves. in unison with
them IS the thought that the life IN US
all is but one. We live in a universe.
The life OF the omnIpTesent God per
vades all the earth. and sky. and sea,
and all that in them is.
We are all members Of one body St
Paul used the figure. And we cannot
cut ourselves on from any part OF the
body without impoverisnment. The life
currents are impeded. There is stop
page IN the arteries of God. We lack
some Influx Of power. We lack ex-
preston for our imprisoned powers.
Whenever we open a new Imprisoned
union there is a fresh enrichment. We
have opened a Panama canal. and feel
the oceans meeting. This has been the
story Of civilization and evolution. IL
IS always union. union, union, with
wider oceans, through more numerous
channels. a German was trying 20
compute how much he knew about the
universe. lie took our senses as the
basis. We know as much as they can
tell US. Helen Keller has had them
artihcially made for her, five senses.
When we have developed our sixth and
seventh senses a new heaven and new
earth will be added to our Crta ion.
Yet IL Will not be new. II Will be new
only to US. Hitherto we have been
separated from parts of the universe
10 which we then snail be united. We
shall be jelly fish that have acquired
sight and hearing.
There are spiritual senses as well as
temporal and physical. We speak of
seeing a point in logic as well as in
space. And the tidings Of the spirit
are discerned with the senses of the
spirit. No other senses will do. And
until the spiritual senses are deVeloped
we are cut of from the spiritual world

good, less exertion is necessary. but the
process requires at least two hours to
give a CONCEALED result
No matter what type of freezer is
used, remember that every cog, every
bump or depression, means something
in machinery. The dasher must rest in
a tiny hollow in the bottom of the can.
the can must revOlve smoothly In its
pivot. the crank gearing must be oiled
IN order 10 give satisfactory results.
The proportion of ice and salt to be
used depends upon the mixture 70 be
frozen. When the proportion of salt
IS small the freezing IS slow, but il will
be very smooth and fine grained. For
this reason when freezing ice creams
ana sherbets one part of salt is used to
three OF ice; while such coarse grained
mixtures as frappes need one portion
Of salt to two of ice.
In packing a freezer. first put together
the entire machine ready for action, mix
the finely broken ice and salt-Which
should be coarse, though the grains
should never be as large as a pea.
Put two-inch layer OF this in the
bottom Of the freezer, pound it down
and see that the can reVolves easily.
Continue in this way until within three
inches Of the top Open the can very
carefully. pour in the mixture, replace
the cover, and freeze according to the
type of freezer used Do not let the
water run of as rapidly as II accumu-
lates as 1t aids in freezing; but when
the mixture is frozen, pour of a part
and fill up the tub with more ice and
salt

HOSTS OF FRIENDS
WORLDS BEST BOON

Just think Of what Il means to have
enthusiastic friends always looking out
for our interests, working for us all the
time. saying a good word for US at every
opportunity, supporting US, speaking for
us in our absence when we need a
friend, shielding our sensitive. weak
spots, stopping ISLANDERS, killing lies
which would injure US, correcting false
Impressions, trying to set us right, over
coming the prejudices created by some
mistake or slip, or a first bad impress
sion we made in some silly moment
who are always doing something to give
us a lift or help us along,
What sorry figures many Of US would
cut but for our friendsi What marred
and SCARED regulations most of US would
have but for the cruel blows that have
been warded off by our friends; the
healing balm that they have applied 70
the hurts of the world Many Of us
would have been very much poorer
financially, too, but for the hosts Of
friends who have sent us customers and
clients and business; who have always
turned our way everything they could
on, what boon our friends are to our
weaknesses. our idiosyncrasies and
shortcomings-Our failures generality
How they throw a mantle of charity
over our faults and cover up our defects!
Was there ever such capital for start
ing in business for oneself as plenty of
friends? How many people, who are
now successful, would have given up
the struggle in some great crisis Of their
lives but for the Encouragement Of some
friend which has Uded them over the
critical placei How barren and lean our
lives would be II stripped Of all that our
friends have done for us!-Success.

CoHazs and Ties

There is no one part Of a woman $
costume that so completely enhances or
go quickly detracts from the general eff
feet as does that small piece of linen
a tie. Madam need not be especially
clever with her needle TO make dainty
fixings for herself. and with bit Of
practice she will be able TO turn out
all kinds of pretty neck bows.
A favorite tie to wear with linen col
lars is of fine white lawn about two
inches wide, just long enough to go
around under the collar and tie In front
in a crisp little bow. The ends are fine
" tucked. hemstitched, and edged with
sheer narrow lace. Another model has
the ends adorned with just a suggestion
OF embroidered stitches. A woman with
a little spare time on her hands can buy
the lawn. cut il in two oblong pieces,
one longer than the other. hem and edge
the ends with lace. plat them, and fas-
ten into a fan ended bow shape by
means of a buttoned strap which re
moves TO resolve the bow into two per
fectly straight pieces for laundering.
Almost every woman has old scraps of
muslin and lace, and, with the prevail
ing styles, now Is the time 10 use them
by a transformation into fresh little
bows TO be pinned on the collar Of the
shirt waist.
