through their veins. The earth and
all that is on or round about it is the
slave of youth. No wonder the yOunr
save having a jolly time while the
dear old season lasts. My seamstress
(whOse daughter is working in a de-
partment stOre) recently complained
TO me: 81 don't like winter, but my
daughter Jennie does. She's scarcely
home one evening all winter long.
These are the engagements she has for
next week: Monday she's going skat-
ing with a crowd of young folks; Tues
day she's going to mistletOe party
At the home of q girl friend; Wednes-
fay night to q dance; Thursday to the
movies Friday to a mOlasses candy
pull; Saturday night, sleighing, and
Sunday, Cod willing, I'll see that she
goes to church. Each and every week
that follows is crowded with some sort
of entertainment"
Young folks have the time of their
lives in winter. 1t is at such affairs
as these that people become acquaint-
ed. Girls may go to these places by
themselves, and so may boys. There
intrOductiOns take place. They dance,
dine, chat and make merry. Each
young man plays the gallant-selects
some girl to take home If he has
struck the fancy OF the girl and she
likes him as well as anyone she has
met, she may invite him to call. Thus
rOmances begin. He accompanies her
to few dances, takes her out skating
and sleighing a few times. 1t is then
the eudaciOuS youth comes boldly for
ward to the parents. announcing that
the daughter cares for him. He asks
permission to pay court to her, with
a view to matrimOny. Summer love
affairs, rOmances, hang on indefinitely
Winter love affairs eliminate in
speedy marriages. What's the rea-
son?
Well, l don't know, unless it's in the
air. Instead of bewailing the great
number of festivities that crowd into
the lives of the young, one should be
glad that they can crowd so much en-
jOyment into winter evenings. Youth,
JOY. love and laughter are their due
They traverse youths pathway but
once in lifetime. Those who have
not had a happy youth-time thus far,
should start in at once to make up for
lost time. One cannot have too much
rational enjoyment while time is
young.

Stale Bread.

An interesting study has just been
made of how and why bread grows
stale. Contrary to popular impression,
Staleness in bread is not merely a
drying out. Bread will grow stale if
kept in a damp box. The stating is
due to the fact that the starch grains
in the bread harden and dry, even if
the air is moist, the moisture going
over to the grains of gluten. The nu-
tritive constituents of the starch are
changed from a soluble condition to a
more inSoluble one. All this is the
exact opposite of the process that goes
on in baking. AS result of the char
acter of the baking process bread may
be kept perfectly fresh for "a hours
by keeping it at temperature of 10S
degrees Fahrenheit. The digestibility
of stale bread is due to the fact that it
has to be thoroughly chewed before it
can be swallowed.

1t is well for lOyer and his lass to
be sure of their affection for each 9TH

before the public their great fOndness
for each other. Haven't you seen the
silly pair of lovers holding hands in
the theater, blind to the knowledge
that people were observing them and
tittering? Many n summer lover is a
nuisance. He persists in putting his
arm behind her seat when he takes
his girl trolleyridng. The winter
beau makes himself quite as conspieu-

closely claSped in his arms in the

the fond words he whispers to her.
He fOrgetS other people have sharp

sentimental love ditty. He sings di-
rectly ut the girl he cares for, bliss
fully unconscious that anyone else Is
listening.
If the girl is quite as responsive, en-
couraging him in his lovemaking be-
fore others, they make a sorry pair.

would not make fit mother, knowing
little or nothing about children. The
girl who makes her own living in q
good home of others is fitting herself
day by day to care for home of her
own when she gets one. The study Of
the married life of young couple is
worth something to her. Above ALL
the study of child-life is the greatest
lesson a young woman can learn and
profit by later on. She sees how to
care for the infant, the fodder and
the older ones, what is for their we'll
being or dangerous for them. 1t is
brought to her attention what they
thrive on or what they may sicken
under. She learns the value of home
cooking, the greatest knowledge on
earth. The careful mother of a grow
ing family teaches her economy in
running a home. Such a girl soon be-
comes fitted to be the ablest kind of
aid to poor man who might wed her.
He could well intrust his savings into
her hands and see ahead future pros
perity and happy home."-C. B. E.
All girls should have a knowledge
of .houSework and home life.

| on my way now to see if the Brownies
and Gnomes aren't feeling like q good
old-fashioned frolic in all this delicious
slush"
1.-THE very thing wanted to do too"
said Mr.. Giant, and his voice was so
loud that from all around the GnomeS
and the Brownies kept appearing.
Hello, Mr.. Giant" they shouted.
"Hello, Witty Witch, are you going
to tell us stOries?"
mo" said Witty Witch, "there are
to be no stories until evening. We've
come to ask you to have a frolic. The
slush is Sc NICE"
"It's wonderful" said the Brownies
and Gnomes.
And they then began to play! Such
games as they had. They made houses
and castles and palaces, for the slushy
snow stuck together so well. Then
they threw snowballs and they all got
so wet And trying to dodge the
snowballs, of course, they fell down in
the Slush.
They laughed so hard and they kept
getting more soaked and more drench-
ed all the time, but how they loved it'll
eve only get slush at just this time
of year." said the Brownies.
''Well, we'll have a good deal more
of it before the next few weeks are
over WITH" said Witty Witch.
'That's good" said Mr.. Giant.
"Hurrah," said the Gnomes.
II shall now bring on the Animals
of Giant-land," said Mr.. Giant.
"Ah," said Witty Witch, mo wonder
you wanted q frolfc today" For all
knew that Mr.. Giant had some very
finely trained Animals that were only
known to the Giant World, and to the
little Gnomes and Brownies because
they are such friends of Mr.. Giant.
The procession started with a num-
Der Of dogs who looked like Chinese
Chow Dogs, carrying in their mouths
the flag of Giant-land. 1t is a large
yellow flag and on it is picture made
in black silk of Mr.. Giant in his top
boots.
Then came some Birds who flew back
wards. If they had not been little
above the Animals they certainly
would have bumped back and forth,
for they flew backwards no matter
which way the Chow Dogs turned. And
the Dogs kept turning back too, for
most of the Animals walked backwards
and for those who didn't, the elbows
would sometimes have to go on
straight ahead.
There were the Squirrels who rode
on the backs of the little black Ponies.
The Squirrels are great friends of Mr..
Giant, and the Ponies play around Mr..
Giants Cave and prance up his legs
TO eat sugar out of his hands.
Mr.. Giant has little Zoo, all his
own, for he keeps it for his friends
the Brownies and Gnomes, and Witty
Witch talks to the Animals and gets
stories from them to tell to the little
Creatures of the Woods.
The Animals enjoyed the Slush too,
but when the procession was over, ev-
eryone marched back to Witty Witch's
Cave, where a roaring fire, dry clothes
and good hot supper was awaiting
them.
