future and it is not your place to inter-
fere with his plans. You might do
what the girls in novels and the movies

man and jealousy may awaken him to
the fact that after all you are the girl
he loves. Since a hasty marriage has

probably be too late to do any good.

PREPARE DOLLS FOR INDIAN
SCHOOL.

Instead of meeting in fortnightly
session in the home of some member,
the Kate Hill Mission society girls of
the United Presbyterian church, last
evening went to Long View park for an
outing, each carrying with her a
beautifully dressed doll. The dolls,
however, were not taken along for the
purpose of play, but were taken to be
given to Miss Kate Hill who will take
them with her upon her return to
Sangla Hill, India, for gifts to the
children in her school. Each of the
members has dressed d pretty doll as
a gift for some child in far-off India.
The Junior association of the church
has likewise dressed dolls and today
will present them to Miss Hill for the
same purpose. After enjoying a de-
licious picnic supper the young wom-
en- adjourned to the home of Miss
Cora McKown close TO the park where
they spent the remainder Of the even
ing very pleasantly.

Place Pieces of Macaroni upright in
holes of the top crust of a berry pie,
TO allow steam to escape and prevent
pie from running over.
To Clean Windows which are smoked
or grimy looking, rub them with a
cloth moistened in wood alcohol, then
polish with another cloth. This is
much better than water.
When Making Sash Curtains, sew
Battenberg rings at the top, placing
them at equal distances, to run the rod
through. The rings look so much
