Yards and a half OF. silk cord and
eight large sized beads, is an ac-
ceptable gift, not difficult to make.
Select cord and beads that harmonic
in color, as, for example, dull gold
and green. Divide the cord into eight
equal parts, and make the first OF the
parts by making one large knot.

Here is a bit Of verse which is worth
reading:
We need the sunshine spirit in the
toiling ways Of life,
n
daily round Of strife.
We want to face the battle
With the sun upon our sword,
AS we march away to service
In this garden Of the Lord.
We hear the morning singing on the
far hills of the light,
And we need the sunshine spirit to
deliver us from night,
We need it in our friendships,
In our troubles and our care;
We need the sunshine spirit,
And we need it everywhere.
None Of us are angels and we don't
wear stain ,ss wings,
But God has lots of patience with the
loving heart that sings.
Through it the sunshine spirit
Has way of spreading round;
And we need it, Oh we need 1t,
On this happy hunting ground.

them directly on the ice for half an
hour or longer to become crisp.
Warm cake and pie pans and rub
the inside with paraffin wax. This is
