Many think a nourishing meal must
have meat. But fish. eggs, cheese or
beans can furnish the protein for a
meal and no meat at all appear. Po-
tatoes, rice and macaroni supply
starchy food. Only one at a time
should appear in meal. And the
protective mineral element can be
represented by the lowly carrot, tur-
nip, onion, beet and cabbage, instead
of by artichokes, asparagus or green
peas. Tomatoes are valuable food,
containing mineral salts and the vita
minis A, b and G. But when only hot
house tomatoes are to be had, cabbage
can appear in the menu and supply
mineral salts and vitamins A, b
and c.
No food completely replaces an
other. So variety of foods Is more
likely to furnish health. AS the sea-
sons change different foods appear in
the markets. Nature seems to coax
her children to partake Of her bounty.
Fruits are a necessary part Of the

A robin built her nest low down in
the crotch Of a yellow birch tree.
Helen claimed all the birds in the
garden, and Robert grudgingly gave
way to her. But that did not pre-

quent battle of tongues. The robin
went placidly about her business and
soon there were four eggs in the nest,
and Helen was counting the days until
the family would arrive. Then 1t

There were red squirrels and chip
hunks about, of course. Helen hated
them because they disturbed the
birds, but Robert loved them because

just as bad-that is, a glossy finish
may take ink too freely for your
writing.
Of course, your own penmanship
has much to do with the results you
will obtain on the different kinds Of
paper. A fine penmanship Is best
suited to a glazed paper and heavy
penmanship Is best suited to a rela-
lively rough finish. Other things be-
ing suitable, whether you will have a
bond paper, linen finish or glove or
kid finish, is a matter of personal
choice. Don't forget that if you over
look getting the finish or surface
suited to your penmanship it will re-
act on your correspondence.
White continues to be the most
fashionable color for social stationery.
Delicate shades other than pink and
baby blue are often used by young
girls. Many women have their white
paper bordered by colored band or
two. Dark shades of paper should be
avoided because of the illegibility of
the writing ink on dark backgrounds
Some women use white ink, but the
combination is often displeasing to the
eye and taste.
If you have a seal ring, you may
use that monogram engraved in that
on your paper. Some women prefer a
single letter for the family's surname,
because then the whole family can
use the paper and share the cost. It
is customary to have the monogram
or initial in the upper left-hand cor
ner, so that the right-hand corner
may be used for the date and address.

WROUGHT HIGH FAVOR BOTH IN INDOOR AND
DECORATION.

It Is a great joy to those who are
lovers of fine wrought metal work to
notice the vogue it is now enjoying.
Wrought iron is in high favor, both
inside and outside of a house. Great
gates of marvellous intricacies, garden
seats that will withstand the ravages
of time and weather for ages, tables
that are stanch and stable as well as
of rare workmanship are among the
costly things for out-of-door appoint
ments. Those for indoors are less
expensive, of course. when size is
taken into account, but size is not
everything. Exquisite tracerieS of
bent work, grace of line and form,
delicacy of articles that Is nothing
short of marvellous in the wrought
metal comprise some of the charms of
this present vogue.
Already we are familiar with the
wrought-iron lamps which have be-
come so immensely popular within the
past two or three years. These were
the forerunners of the fashion which
next showed itself in stands for large
crystal bowls filled with water in
which fish disported themselves.
To this particular wrought-iron idea
is now added the home aquarium with
shapely base and open-topped, square
or rectangular glass container or
tank. In such an aquarium sea plants
and quaint Japanese bridges form pic
turesque elements. In line with the
lamp and the aquarium style Of
wroughtiron work come the tall bases
which support copper, brass or pot
terry bowls for plants or cut flowers.
They are so ornamental in themselves

My Neighbor Says:

smoothing the irons.

Bamboo furniture needs slight

time to time in order to prevent
it cracking from excessive dry
ness. 1t should be rubbed reg

a flannel, followed by a brisk
polish with soft rags. Bamboo
furniture should also be exposed
as much as possible to the air
and kept as far away from the
fire as convenient.

Wrought-Iron Furniture.
In actual household furniture
wrought iron is decidedly in evidence
It chimes in with old Italian furniture
to perfection. There are tables with
dark marble tops, benches with tops
of such colors as the Italians delight
in and which add so much beauty to
their homes. There are Roman chairs
in Savanarola style. And there are
scores of hanging wall shelves, some
for books, some for ornaments, some
for both, but all Of them wall decora
tons in themselves.
Old Pieces Renewed.
And now, having given glimpse
of some Of the choice yet not neces.

all home-makers who have any
wrought-iron articles that now Is the
time to give them their proper place in
rooms and in gardens. Many houses
have such things tucked away in store
closets. Even fragments of the iron
work can be used to advantage. A
round or square piece can be turned
into fireplace trivet by having legs
added of iron. A blacksmith could dc
this. Sconces can be made of such
pieces also, or bookends can be fash
toned from them. Whatever you have
be sure to use it now in some way OF

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"AlFs Well That Ends Well"

This is one of the most popular
savings in common speech. No mat
ter what trouble one may have gone
through. what travaille has been eX-
perienced, if everything comes out
all right the suffering can be for
gotten.
There is no more consoling reflec-
ton in such a case than "All's well
that ends we'll"
This is a very old proverb having
it's origin in a work published in
lab called the "Gesta Romanorum,"
the first English version of which
appeared in 1924. In the original
1473 edition we find: Isl fms bonus
est, totum bonum crit Gf the end be
well. all will be well')
The "Gesta Romanorum" is one of
the most popular collections of anec-
dotes of the later Middle Ages. 1t
consists of ISL stories, originally
written in Latin and supposedly
based on episodes in Roman history.
The stories were very short and sim
pie, pointing a moral on the order
of modern juvenile literature. They
were widely read and have been
translated into many languages.

this belief every day with new and

that satisfy every artistic sense as
well as being paragons of convenience

here has been carefully designed with
an eye to dignity and picturesque eff

an illusion of spaciousness and its

OF course, the question of belief in
a Divine Spirit is a matter of faith,
and cannot be proved by a compass
or measuring rule. but the question
want to ask is this:
Is not the question of divinity
proved las well as it can be proved to
finite minds) by the law of compensa-
ton?
In other words, does not the case
of Helen Keller prove the existence OF
a Divine Spirit?
Answer-Helen keller'S phenomenal
case certainly shows that severe limi-
tations react in concentration OF
mind and will which overcomes them.
This process obtains throughout ma
ture, who, prudent and persistent TO
the utmost. no sooner is hlndered IN
one quarter than she doubles ner
energies in another.
To the religious Intelligence these
experiences suggest the control of the
Supreme and Benevolent Mind which
often readjusts human life and COM
penSates its losses. But, as Helen
Keller has told us, the active co-opera-
ton of afflicted people themselves is
a vital factor in the game. Invalid
children and blind adults frequently
manifest amazing cheerfulness. Grip
pies of various ages display inventive
faculties for getting about. One can
call these traits the outcroppings of
divinity If he chooses. l have often
observed them in my pastoral career,
and few contacts have more pro-
foundry moved me. But the word
proof" is too rigid to apply accu-
rately to such indications of higher
divinity. They are acts of trust in
God and in ones self; of the faith
which laughs at impossibilities and
says, "It shall be done" The faith
described by the letter to the Hebrews
as 1.-The assurance of things hoped
for"-a conviction of things not seen.
The philosophy behind Helen Kellers
case and others equally impressive.

I have often wondered why Jesus
chose St. Peter as the chief of the
apostles instead of ST. John, the dis
ciple whom He loved, to whom He
commended His mother from the
cross. Can you cast any light on this
matter?
Answer hesitate to interpret the
motives of the Master in this matter
Yet may not St. Peter have been
chosen because his Lord saw in him
the impulsiveness. frailty, repentance,
generosity and capacity for sacrifice
which erring mortalS welcome in their
fellow men and women.
Perhaps l can illustrate it by the
feelings one has toward two great
poets. However much one reverences
Milton. one can hardly say he loves
him. But there are few who, know
ing Burns. do not love him. despite
his failures. Nor should 1t be for
gotten that Christ's incarnation per-
fectly expressed the humanness which
enlists our response to His Gospel.
1t was His win that the Apostle of
the Rock should lead the infant
Church in a rude and boisterous age.
For this purpose He seems to have
been better fitted than the sublime
mystic, St. John, who was built for
retirement and meditation.
