There are schools for parlor maids ladies maids, nurse maids, and ever places where a butler is taught to "buttle" properly.
 Millinery and dressmaking classes while "atheltics" of all kinds and de- scriptions are taught
 "Pantomine and Folk Dancing" as well as Athletic and Modern Dancing are classed under the same head prac- tically, for it certainly takes an ath- letlc turn of mind to enable one to be- come light of foot
 Of course, as might be expected there are many "fads. among the num- Der one which happened to hear of -recently being a School for Develop ing Personality" This is particularly appealing as most of us are conceited enough to believe that we have much latent ability which only needs to be called out and cultivated in order to make US either famous of self satisfied.

Pork Cake

You will probably tell me that the recipe l inclose is clean out of season. But We are fond of pork cake, the recipe for which l inherited from my English grandmother and one cold, rainy day last week when we had to have a fire in the grate of the living room in our cottage in the woods we enjoyed it so much that l send it in for the benefit of other camp CTS in uncertain weather: One cup of fat pork, cut fine or chopped; two eggs, one cup of sultana raisins. two cups of brown sugar, half cup of buttermilk one spoon of soda, two cups of flour. one spoon of cinnamon. Bake in a loaf in a moderate oven. M B.
 In our climate of sudden and extreme variations it is not safe to say that any dish Is out of season. In the middle states, for instance. the thermometer on the longest day of the year (June H-the summer Solstice) dropped to 52 degrees Fahrenheit and stood there for 12 hours Your pork cake would have wrought a little needed carbon into the chilled sys- tenn of one family at least. Hot chocolate was more seasonable than iced sherbet that week.

 Father Benson cleverly gives as the reason for the torrent of words. which nothing could check or still, that the woman only said out loud what other people thought. Every one, he adds, has foolish and inconsequent trains of thought but not every one manifests them.
 There are some of the new fads and schools which our friends and relatives have taken up that are harder to bear with than others, and I feel that it is only necessary, In order to explain jusr what l mean by this, to quote the old Italian proyerb which l am sure will strike a sympathetic chord in many a comprehending heart. which saysl

In Need of Clothing

T wrote to you a while ago of a desti- ute woman. Several people brought her household furniture. She finds it impos- sihle to get steady work. She has two children dependent upon her She could set house work if she would remain over night. So she asks if any charitable or ganization could place the children in the country for the summer or if some farmer would take them and give her a chance to make a little money during the sum- mer. The girl is 13 and the boy '. They are in great need the mother especially, of clothing. GRACE D."
 The pitiful case is laid before compass sionate members as the friend of the des- titute family set 1t down. Whatever is done for the sufferers should be done at once; the summer is flying fast. There are dozens of fresh air societies that con template the relief of children pent up within city walls and benevolent farmers who may come to the rescue. l hold the writer's address.

You may remember the Majorie L., who asked for a wheel chair. 1 got into communication with her at once and re- ceiyed a charming letter, in which she informed me that her dear brother was well and back at work l rejoiced with her. and I now will try the other address you sent to me for a wheel chair. do hope to have the extreme pleasure of helping you to a small degree in the good work.

a-s~ taught nowadays, not only tC the young, the willing and the unwil- ling benehciaries. or victims of ori educational system, but also to any one else who may crave instructions?
 We are, as rule, a people desirous of obtaining knowledge.
 A great deal of it is intended for the head and stays there. but at present a great deal more seems to be adapted to and practiced by our toes and heels
 Whatever we learn, or even partly understand, appears to fill us with q desire to impart some of the knowl- edge to another. and we are quite like ly to look about for pupils.
 Teaching something to somebody is really a new and highly contagious disease; it's area is ever widening and no one knows today whether he may or may not by tomorrow be taking lessons in knitting or practicing the newest and most up-to-date step in dancing.
 It has interested me to look up few of the things which are being taught as what we might call extras" or post graduate studies, and before enumerating them, I may say en pas sant, that am entirely in sympathy believe in the wisdom of anybody learn ing anything he wishes and has time to perfect.
