So in matrimony, men and women
can fit themselves to each others pc
culiarities until they become SO accus-
toned to them that they don't even see
them. They can endure each other s
eccentricities until they cease to notice
them. They can endure their disap-
pointments in each other until they
forget it ever existed, and make habit
forge bond of between them that is
even more binding than love.
But II Time is the consoler and the
adjuster, il is also the acid test of things
/, and only the worth while survive. It j:
the house built from squares of solic
stone that stands. The flimsy shanty
goes. 1t is the great pictures, the grea'
statues, the furniture made by crafts
men that grow more valuable with age
The shoddy work of ehoddy men il
thrown on the dust heap.
And il is the genuine qualities II
people that Time makes finer and better
The woman who has only pretty fac'
loses love when her beauty fades. TIL,
woman Of heart and soul is loved bette
as the years 40 by. The man who ha
a surface brilliancc may win prefermen
by trickery, but he is soon unmaske'
and forgotten. II is the man OF serlin
principle hnd upright character WHOM
Time crowns with imperishable laurels
Its one of life's little ironies that ther
is nothing in life that Time will not iro
out If we give Time time enough.

Mrs. Twinkle-eyes jumped and ran 70

'Up here" answered Ninble, running
along rafter and looking down az
his mother and father with sleepy eyes,
and then Mrs. Twinkle-eyes and her
husband saw six little heads pop up
from snug corners and six sleepy look

vex our puny human intelligence, and
that we find it so hard TO realize that,
at last, Time binds up our broken spirits
and bodies, even as it does those OF a
great battlefield.
Do we grieve2 Time is the great coun-
seller. 1t is Time that takes you to its
breast and rocks you in its arms and
comforts you as q mother comforts a
child who wceps. Tears can not always
flow. No wound can always bleed. Time
lays its gentle hand upon US, and some
how the smiles chase away the tears,
and the wound heals.
Death robs us Of those who were the
very core of our hearts. II seems i'm
possible that we should go on living
without them. At first every minute OF
every day stabs us with fresh sense OF
loss. There is no place TO which we can
fly from our desolation; no way in which
we can throttle the memories that tor
ture Us. There is no help for us but in
time, the one anodyne for sorrow.
1t breathes upon us and slowly, slowly
the pain is eased. We grow accustomed
to the loneliness; the sharp edges Of los.
are dulled; and even memory is blurred
until those that were once the most
vital things in existence become to Vi
like the dim shspeAof angels seen in oul
dreams.
And Time is the great and infAlliblt
adjuster Of our problems. How often We
borrow trouble worrying over the future
What shall we do if this or that difficulty
occurs? How shall We manage If some
catastrophe we fear overtakes us2
Foolish and vain speculations with
which We fill sleepless nights! The thing
we most dread seldom happen to US
and if they do, Time gives us small
choice in the manner of dealing will
them. We settle them as best We ma,
at the moment, and if we are patient
Time rectifes our mistakes.
1t is true that Time does not give u
all We want in Life, but it does the mex
best thing. 1t dulls the sharp edge o
desire, and reconciles us to our failures
Millions of us have to thank Heavel
. that we missed getting the thing w

Looking down the long term Of the years
we see how worthless are the tinse
crowns men strive for, and are conten
to have no part in the scramble 70
empty honors, OF fortunes that bea

the only school in which we may lear
philosophic content 1t is only those VIII

Nobody thinks of trying Time as

WHAT LILLIAN TOLD KATIE TO

As Lillian, with her never-failing,
prompt tfeaction to an emergency, obeyed
my command TO turn the light up

CHOOSING THE RIGHT
SOUP FOR DINNER

In choosing soup for dinner, the
housekeeper should keep. one thing in
mind A "clear soup is used with a
dinner which contains creamed vege-
table or a rich sauce or gravy; and a
cream soup may accompany dinner
which does not contain these starchy
sauces: The following menu is of the
latter variety:
Cream Of Pea Soup
Liver Smothered with Onions
Boiled Potatoes
Coffee Prune Whip
Cream of Pea Soup: Drain the con-
tents Of one can OF peas from their
liquor and put these drained peas into
saucepan with two cups of cold water
and two teaspoons Of sugar; bring to a
boil, then let simmer for 20 minutes
Press the mixture through sieve, re-
heat, and thicken with two tablespoons
of -four creamed with two tablespoons
Of butter. Now scald two cups of sweet
milk in another pan and season it with
one teaspoon of salt, pinch o. pepper
and one-half teaspoon of onion juice
Add this hot milk to the reheated peas
let boil up minute, and serve.
Liver Smothered with Onions: Poul
two tablespoons OF olive oil into your
frying pan and add a piece of butter
the size Of an egg; when these fats are
hot, put into the pan six large onion:
peeled and finely sliced, and one pound
of liver which you have cut up into
small pieces. Stir all together anC
