some, talented, high-spirited, was
the admiration Of Roman intellec-
tual society. A young man of
genius, he captivated all by his
eloquence, while his social graces
made him a favorite of the day.
But he ever resisted the entreaties
of his mother who for thirty long
years poured out her soul in vain
tears and prayers for his CONVEX
sion.
God, however, does not resist
mothers, it seems, for. suddenly
Augustine was led to see the light.
Drawn first by a rival orator, Am
brose, Bishop of Milan. to admire
the doctrines Of Christianity, the
great soul of Monica's son seized
upon the grace proffered, and like
another Paul, he threw himself
heartily into the designs of God.
Having tasted the unwholesome
bitterness of all the heresies, Au-
gustine quickly recognized the
fruit Of the true vine. With his
mother he wendell his way back to
Tagaste, his birthplace, leaving an
account of the journey that has
come down to us as a classic Of its
kind.
The wonderful gifts showered
upon him by God and nature were
now turned to the service of his
Creator. Augustine became priest
bishop, leader of Catholic thought
throughout the world, the deepest
controversialist, a man of prodi
gious learning, Of powerful intel
lect and of the loftiest sanctity.i
/ Thus did God reward the pray.

ers of the devoted Monica. For
thirty wearisome years did He
force her to wait for the answer,
but when it came it was exceeding
great. Instead of seeing her son
merely leading pious Christian
life, she beheld him go forward to
the heights whereon he ever has
remained, the terror Of heretics,
the consolation and defense Of the
Church, the model of holiness
among the great. Monica sacrific-
ed herself for years that her son
might see the light; but God easily
Outdoes even His saints in gener-.
osity: and Monica's tears brought
forth a prodigy that surpassed
even the beautiful fruit of physi-
cal travail: a lasting lesson to
mothers and those who yearn for
the return of their loved ones to
a life Of purity and virtue.

THAWING PIPES WITH
ELECTRICITY Is SAFE

Danger of fire, which has always
attended the thawing of frozen
pipes, has been eliminated by the
advent of an electrical thawing
device. This consists of a genera
tor set, complete with switchboard
and rheostat. mounted on a wagon
or automobile truck and connected
with the water pipes by a flexible
copper cable.
For ordinary purposes the pipe
thaWer consumes bout the same
amount of energy as an electric
flatiron and forty feet of three
fourths inch pipe can be thawed in
eight minutes or 500 feet of ten
inch pipe in two hours.
The department of public works
in Spokane. Wash. was the first to
adopt this modern method of pipe
thawing and the machine is gen.
orally regarded as one of the most
valuable pieces of plumbing ap-
paratus for use in the cold season.

VACUUM CL.EANER
TAXES DRUDGE:Ry
FROM HOUSE WORK

The astonishing progress made in
recent years in ali sorts OF devices
to tighten the drudgery in homes
makes it almost impossible to real
lie that the ordinary kitchen
broom was great improvement
in that line only generation or
so ago. The witch's round broom
of fine twigs scratched the floors
l'of log cabins and sod houses only
yesterday; they were a little tidier
than the coarse rakes that dragged
the straw, bones, and litter from
che floors of medieval dining halls.
But only a little.
1t would be interesting to have
one of the old school of New Eng
land housewives come back and
try the vacuum cleaner. She
would probably think that it was
wicked to have her work made so
easy since laziness was a sin; but
she would be sickened to see how
much dirt had been left in her
house after she thought she had
cleaned it from cellar to garrett;
her love of cleanliness would prob
ably overcome her scruples.
One machine on the market has
a revolving spiral bristle brush
which loosens imbedded dirt, chloe
olates dropped by baby and ground
In by fathers shoes for instance,
and sweeps up all lint rawlings,
and surface litter. at the same
time the nozzle can bring to bear
the full power of suction upon
long or short nap rugs, wood
floors, or linoleum. The nozzle is
so tapered that it can get into the
corners of all rooms and stairs.
There are attachments which
reach under heavy pieces of fur
niture which cannot easily be
moved, sweep coLwebs from the
ceiling, brush out draperies, dust
over-stuffed chairs and davenports,
pictures, mouldin6s, mattresses
and books.
Three casters move the machine
easily and harmlessly over the fin
est floors; the dust bag Is easily
removed; a quarter turn unfastens
the bayonet lock and lets the bag
slip out to be emptied. But no
dust can get out until the bag Is
removed, the fabric is too strong.
Using the vacuum cleaner is the
best way to satisfy your conscience,
your husband, and your doctor.

DESSERTS MADE WITH JAMS
AND JELIIES.

Several readers have written to
ask me for recipes calling for jams
and jellies. MY children will not
eat jelly on bread,' say some Of
these letters, 80 / would appre-
ciate recipes that would help me
serve the jelly in an attractive
guise." I believe the following will
be of help:
Jelly Sponge: Turn one glass of
jelly into pint measure ana fill
up the measure with boiling water.
Stir until the jelly is dissolved,
then add to it l tablespoon of
graduated gelatine which has
been softened in a very little cold
water. Sweeten to taste with gram
ulated sugar and turn the mixture
into a mold that has been wet in
side with cold water. Set the filled
mold in a cool place for about one
hour--or until the gelatine has
begun to harden sufficient to ad
here to the sides Of the mold
then beat into ii, with an egg beat
er. one cgg-white which has been
stiffly whipped Now put the mold
back in the cool spot until the
mixture has solidified.
Jelly Geltaine: Follow above
given recipe, but simply omit beat
ing the stiff egg-white into the
hardening gelatine. Serve the gel
atine topped with a sweetened egg
white stiffly beaten. If desired,
apple sauce (about 1 tablespoon
of it) may be whipped into the
stiff egg-white, as well as the SUI
gar; apple sauce, helps the egg
white to hold its shape and also
gives a delicious flavor.

and 2 oranges into a dessert bowl
