Women find that their heads show
to better advantage with hair parted
at the side than in the middle. One
reason is perhaps because the middle
of the head has been parted so often

MAKING BREAD IN MIXER.

Sift four cupfuls of flour into the
bread mixer, add two teaspoonfuls of
salt and two ~teaspoonfuls of sugar.
Mix one yeast cake with one teaspoon
full of sugar and a cupful of tepid
water, then put 1t in a warm place to
rise for a few minutes. If 1t does not
rise the yeast is unfit for use. Pour 1t
into the centre of the flour, mix a
little, then gradually add three lcupfuls
of lukewarm water; If the water is too
hot it will kill the yeast, which Is Il
living vegetable substance and which
must multiply in the bread. Mix we'll
cover and place in a moderately warm
place out of d%raughts. Leave till the
batter is covered with bubbles.
Work in four or five cupfuls of flour.
adding two heaping tab1espoonfuls of
lard during the mixing. Brush the top
of the dough over with melted butter,
and allow 1t to rise until 1t has ex-
banded to about twice its original size.
Mix for five minutes, then cut the
dough in pieces. Make into neat loaves,
place them in slightly-warmed buttered
pans, allow to rise once more to fill the
tins. Brush over with milk. Bake in
a hot wen till ready.

A Wife's Complaint.

Dear Miss Poynter:
1 hav been married just a year and
am beginning to grow unhappy, because
when my husband comes home src-,.
business he never wants to take me
out. When I suggest going any place
he always says he is too tired and
would rather stay at home and rest.
Otherwise he Is very considerate of me.
Now, Miss Poynter, do you think he is
losing his love for me and doesn't en-
joy going out with me?
A WORRIED WIFE.
No, I don't think he Is losing his love
for you just because he prefers his
own comfortable home and the luxury
of a negligee to mingling with crowds
and meeting strange people. Do you
know the absolute need Of relaxation,
the longing of both brain and body for
rest that follows the grind of a long,
hot business day? And it's the rest to
be gained from ar easy chair, a pipe
and the company of 'the one" a rest
that alone will fit the man to meet
the next days worries and cares. The
very fact that he finds quiet and peace
In your society Is the highest compli-
men to you, the surest proof of his
love. Would 1t please you to think
that you bored him; that he found no
enjoyment in your presence? Con-
tinue to make his home what 1t evil
IDENTIFY Is for him nova place to for
get the outside world, the only place
he a find perfect happiness. When
the weather's hottest, when his work
has been hardest, DOM ever suggest
your sort of rest, but cheerfully make
his yours. Then when the time comes
he'll be ready to sacrifice his comfort
for you some night, and go out with
you-not a wailing captive, but a will
ing martyr, thankful for the c~onsidera-
ton that has been meted out to him.

Household Hints

When canning 1t is well to know that
all pr%eservatives are dangerous. Any
thing that will overcome the gases
tending to spoil canned fruit is liable
to prevent their digestion. and so Is
not advisable.
Cold water is preferable to warm for
%scrubbing floors, because it does not
sink into the wood and so dries
quickly.
Better results are obtained from the
use of the scrubbing-brush by moving
1t In the direction in which the grain
of the wood runs, instead Of GRO 1t.
Sponges should be washed free of
soapsuds each time they are used and
hung up to dry. As often as possible
scald them In soda water and hang
them in the sunshine.
To frost over a window without
darkening the room dissolve Epson
salts In hot water and paint over the
window while the water is hot, then
