She wanted him, too, She Ionged
for the comfort OF his presence, but
did not dare meet him. A greater
barrier than ever existed between
them. The dear girl stood there
with her finger on her lips. The
truth could not now be told to Sarle

Whose head must be bowed in sor-

could tell? Somehow she felt that
all hope OF personal happiness with

likelihood of seeing him on deck or
anywhere else. 1t looked cold and
cruel enough to her, that note like
o little knife she was sending him;
but II was a two-edged knife with
which she also wounded herself.
The stewardess brought tea and
toast to her room, and she stayed
there all day. Only in the cool OF
the evening, when every one else
was dining. she crept out for few
moments and leaned upon the ships
rail, drinking in the air and staring
ut the moody line of land ahead
that meant fresh experiences and
trouble on the morrow. She was
afraid to look at the sea.
No farewell concert took place
that night. People whispered to-

Mary, who had been disturbed at
her dinner, gave grunt of dissat-

flights of stairs to fetch down the
heavy ladder. In about Ave minutes
she returned to the room, painting
with her exertions.
"And now" said Mr.. Brown, put
1T up at the end of the table and
climb to the top.
Mary did as she was told, and
when she was at the top Mr.. Brown

DEAR ELIZABETH LArTrkHR:
In these days when everything ossfs
so much, try making your baking pS~-
der by the following recipe:
-Four ounces Of best pastry ffuur-
four ounces Of best baking soda or
saleratus, nine ounces of best cream of

they were excellent-golden brown,

next day they were pale faced. flat,
only fairly Highland how you did
hate to put them on the tatle!
What is the difference? The
temperature of the oven. A wom-
an after many such experiences
learns TO judge her own oven fairly
accurately. But she Is called to her
sick neighbor's kitchen to help out,
and bakes a pie for the family.
That pie almost ruins her reputs-
tton as the best cook in the neigh
borhood. for it is soggy and under
done. Feeling the need Of an apol-
ogy, she says: II do not know
that oven. 1t is hard for me TO
judge one / have not used before"
Would it not be a wiser. more eff
ficient thing to know the tempera-
ture of your oven? Ask your hard
ware merchant for an oven ther-
mometer. If he does not have one
ask him to order one for you. 1t
will soon pay for itself in lessen
ing the waste and improving the
food baked. 1t will help you to
know how long your oven should
be lighted before IT is ready for
