PRESS ScoFFs AT OFFER
Under the heading "The Great Peace
Offensive" the Evening Standard this after
noon says:
1T dhe Pope's appeal shows that Ger
many is working with might and main to
get peace before the full weight of the
United States is felt on the battlefield
The Pope must be gingularly ill-informed
as to the state Of public feeling among the
Allies"
The Westminster Gazette deprecates the
hasty assumption that the POpes appeal
Is the result Of German intrigue, but points
out the futility Of such proposals so long
as Germany approves Of the Kaiser's dec
laration to former Ambassador Gerard that
there is mo longer any international law"
The Pail Mall Gazette asks: What se-
curty are the Allies to receive of the full
fllment OF st6h terms mentioned by the
Pope so long as Germany retains the power
to break treaties and her long series Of
crimes go unpunished?'

Ancient Marrlaae Custom.

Westermarck, in his History of HUI
man Marriage" says: " There is not
a shred of genuine evidence for the no
ton" that general polygamy ever
formed real stage in the history Of
mankind. "MOnOgamy is by far the
most common form of human marriage.
1t was so among the ancient people Of
whom we have any direct knowledge"
And another authority states: 'It
seems probable that from the first hui
man mating has tended toward
monogamic unions" AS for marriage
laws, there is little doubt that religious
sanctions are older than legal. In
Christian countries the marriage laws
are generally derived from the law
established by the Christian church in
the middle ages, which in turn drew
many Of it's rules regarding marriage
from the Roman civil law, and was also
influenced to some extent by Teutonic
ideals. 1t is worthy of note that the
Greeks and Romans, in their history,
show little or no trace of pOlygamy.

In the kitchen of an old monastery

all of good education, are cooking and
scrubbing and washing up all day long,
and they have been doing it for many
months. The way they cook potatoes
is a thing to write poetry about and
the French soldiers who have eaten
them will tell you that they want to
go back TO that monastery, which Is
now a hospital, because the food is so
good Not only do those women cooks
of the educated classes cook well, but
they are economical
Another English woman, who before
the war knew nothing about cooking,
is a past mistress in the art Of making
apple dumplings, as many an English
soldier, as weIl as a few English sail
ors, will bear witness. When asked
how she learned, she said that a
French friend of hers had lent her her
cook for "a hours, and during that
time she had made rapid progress in
many things. Then there was the
handy man about the canteen, an Eng
1ishman, who had lived in France for
many years. He taught her a great
deal. But as to the tarts and the APP
pie dumplings, she must have learned
to make those by instinct, for no one
has taught her how to make the paste
or keep the apples dry.

made. The coloring will depend upon
the choice of the worker; If the back
ground is cream or white, the flowers
should be stenciled a pretty pink and
the leaves a delicate green.
Leave all to dry, then, if liked, the
jars can be vanished with clear var
nish. In many cases the natural jar
can be left without being covered, and
a pattern just put on.
Very pretty effects can be got by
covering the Jars with very pretty
wallpaper; this must be done with
care; then, when the paste is dry, var
nish all over.
Really beautiful vases can be made
by covering cream pots with cigar
bands. These ornaments look most
costly affairs, the colOrs are so beau
tiful and rich.
Thus from odd Jars lying about can
pretty and useful articles be made,
suitable for the home, for bazaars, or
gifts to friends; the cost Is very trivial
and the work is easy and interesting.

But he Is always prefgurlng future

whether that time viii come early

No man ever saved penny In the fu-

temptation TO spend a handful OF pen

year that ne does not resist weakens
his ability TO resist.
This spending business Is as much
a matter OF habit as tlppllng. 1t Is
within the knowledge Of everybody
who has the ordinary circle Of per

the limit Of his income-which, about

If he can realize by thirty that he
