SERIOUSNESS IN
 DUTY

To do ones duty is an excellent thing, but it is hardly enough. When one does the duty in ones way, es- pecially when it is particularly hard, it does seem too bad not to get full credit for it.
 A person who merely does his duty and does not add the true grace of the giyer is generally not liked, and his deed is not fully appreciated You all know folks like that You your- self say about them, T do think the Jones certainly do their duty, but everybody knows it, and I'd rather not have to be the object of their duty!"
 The person who gives raciousIy and willingly when he sees his duty lies in the way of giving always real- izes that it is far more blessed to give than to receive. The receiver gives you his love As well as his es- teem. There is no merit in simply giving because you feel you must Give cheerfu1ly because you feel it will do a great deal of good, and because you are able to do that bit of good in a "naUghty world"
 If children, parents and church members would only make the doing of their duty more beautiful in the sight of others, how much more would they be appreciated, and copied. Goodness, when it is at tractive, will find imitators

DAY NURSERY IS HAPPY HOME
 FOR KIDDIES
Many Visitors Delighted With Cheerful Surroundings of Excellent Home.

School children are assisting in the annual financial drive of the Asso- ciated Charities, and in order to make the work more enthusiastic a sort of contest has been started among the schools of the city, each child trying to raise as much as possible. To the two pupils, one boy and one girl, who will bring in the largest amount of contributions, two prizes will be given by the members of the execu- tive board. The prizes will be at tractive and useful and worth the children's efforts in trying to obtain them.
 Everywhere the workers of the va rious teams covering the city, are
 meeting with enthusiastic response. Generous contributions are coming in and the work is progressing rapidly. The women who are engaged on the various teams and the members of the executive committee will hold a

 first reports of the weeks work will be made.
 Many visitors are welcomed at the Day Nursery each day where the small children form the main attrac- tions. The nursery, with it's tiny tables, chairs and numerous play
 things is exceedingly attractive and Q revelation to the guests. The whiteness, cleanliness, wholesome ness and cheerful surroundings of the Interior form a most happy back ground for the little kiddies.

 course of the day, when the children gather around her to hear fairy tales l and learn nursery rhymes. There is always an atmosphere of happiness surrounding the children, and con- sidering the fact that they do not see their parents during the entire day, It is astonishing, yet gratifying, to see the cheerful baby faces, ready to

SUGAR IS NO ! NEEDED FOR
 CANNING

Don't let surplus fruit go TO waste because you cannot obtain sugar to use for preserving purposes. Fruit can be successfully canned without 1t and it can be sweetened when served next winter, or syrup can be used in place of sugar to sweeten it now.
 To can without sugar, simply fill the jars containing the fruit with clean hot water. instead of the usual syrup, and process the jars in a hot water baJh- The fruit will not spoil, but it will not have quite as fine a flavor and color as that which is packed in syrup.
 Directions for canning by the s'cooked-in-rhe-ca method should be carefully followed to can success fully without sugar, the United States Department of Agriculture suggests.
 Fruits canned without sugar are especially good in salads, desserts, pie filings, ices and in fruit punches. They can also be made into jams and JnarmaIades when sugar is obtain able. Fruit juices take no sugar and their uses are just as varied during the winter season as are the fruits put up unsweetened- These fruit juices are also available for jelly at Q future time when sugar is more plentiful Vegeta bles need no sugar, and plenty of canned vegetables are always acceptable during the winter months
 Fruit and vegetables may be high and sugar scarce, but the margin of difference in price between the home canned and the commercially canned product is likely to be as great as when both fresh fruit and vegetable and canned goods were lower in price. The wise are still practising home caSlning, sugar or no sugar.

Woman Who Spurned
 Chas. Dickens Love

A poor Fleet street scribbIer once raised his eyes to the fair and com fortably lowered daughter of a city banker. All that the latter did how ever, when she heard his piteous tale of love was to inform him that she would not have him if he brought her all the jewels in Asia.
 The humble scribe took this rejec- ton very much to heart, but the day came round, and that in the space of only a few years, when his name had become famous throughout the length and breadth of the land, for he was no other than Charles Dick ems.
 Years afterwards, the girl who had once scorned his affection actually went to him for financial assistance A strange reversal of fortunei The author of "Pickwick'' was not over joyed at the sight of her as readers of his biography need not be re- minded. q left her a lily found her a peony," was Dickens caustic observation on this in-considered visit.
 That she lived deeply to rue the day she had rejected the rhapsodical addresses of the great Victorian nov elist is a matter of common knowI- edge.

Of chiffon velvet is this stunning ly handsome suit dress. It has the fur of the smartly dressed about the neck and sleeves. The only other bit of applied trimming is the little tri- angle of self-color braiding on vel vet.
 But the smart point of observation value lies in the way the skirt and little jacket are finished about the bottom. The velvet is simply cut in to straps at intervals and they fold under to inclose a straight fold of the velvet. No pattern is needed for that, merely wits and common copy ing ability. The jacket is plain one and the skirt is simply an or dinary two-piece skirt, rather mar row, of course, but gathered on to the belt. Bind all the edges of the lit tie straps with self material to fin ish them.
