A Valentine Table.
This refreshment table is a veritable

cooky girls parading about the basket
centerpiece, each holding q wee can
diestfck with a lighted candie---or so
it appears--while about them are
heart and dart goodies. The cake
people can be given festive attire by
using wee candies of many colors as
buttons, neckties, necklaces and trim
mings for costumes. Place them fiat
on the table with outstretched hands
touching.
Heart Candlesticks. .a..
The candlesticks are ingeniously
made from heart shaped cream candy
patties, with hard circular candles
stuck to them with sugar and water
sirup. One circle is fiat on the center
Of the heart or disc, while another Is
upright and touching the rim OF the
fiat one, into the hole OF which a wee
cake candle is stuck. Place candle
sticks so that they seem to be held in
the right hands of the alternate cooky
boys and girls. Just before inviting
the guests to the dining room the
ca ndles should be lighted. A variety
of colors can be used for the cream
natties. which can be homemade of
fondant. The candlestick and handles
must be of hard, firm candies.

are preferred for the sailed nuts.
Brown spoonfuls of meringue in the
oven or under gas and slip one on TO
each cup of chocolate just before serv-
ing. Strawberry ice cream slices cut
into heart shape have whipped cream
darts on top. Use a pastry tube when

Rods for Our Backs.

"I never knew what trouble was
until | had children. Now | know
lots of things / never knew before.
And that is very true. We grow
along bothering our mothers and pes
tering our fathers, having a lovely
time. Mother mends our clothes, SeWs
on our buttons, lays out our dress
clothes, sits up to give us warm
drink when we come in, lives for us.
Father works for us. Now and
then he puts in a cautious word of
counsel. We think him a stodgy old
fellow, kind and all that, but a little
behind the procession. He continues
to save the gravy for us, help us to
our favorite piece of meat or chicken,
and pay our bills that might tncon-
venience us.
Then we are married. And the chill
dren come. They are as a rod to our
backs. In their every action, every
mood, we see ourselves and we begin
to think Of what we must have meant
to our parents all those years. How
did they ever manage to get a whole
nights rest? Or didn't they ever have
one? How in the world did mother
ever manage to keep all the children
clothed and fed and bathed and taught
and disciplined all the time, or
didn't she?
With each phase of a child's growth
we sigh and say well, maybe it will
be easier from now on And it never
is. With childhood comes the troubles
of school and companions and shifting
moods and habits. And with Adde'S
cence comes anxiety renewed. Now
we turn to father and mother, and for
the first time iii all our lives know
what we meant in terms of pain and
fear and anxiety and love and thrills
and smiles and tears. We know now.
We are grown up.
1t is doubtful that without the chill
dren we should have grown up. They
are a graduate course in life.
We review all our growth and renew
it. We see new phases of it, new
threats. We long with great longing
to help the children do more with
themselves and their talents than we
have done. We would have them bet
ter men and women than we are.
SO they become the great disciplin-
ary force in our lives. Whtn we
would lie abed on Sunday morning
we rise to get them off to church and
meet them there. 1t would not do to
set them a poor example. We are
more economical than our natures.
Again we must set an example and
we must provide for their future so
that they will not go out into the
word alone and empty handed.
We refrain from giving and at

genuine ailments.
The essence Of this neurosis is
that almost without exception she
does not know what she is doing,
or even that she is unsatisfied.
The woman who has a full and
adequate life but lacks the one
thing she desires, such as the UNI
divided attention of husband or
child, is just as likely to suffer in
this way as one whose life is
frankly unsatisfied.
She is the helpless victim Of her
own unconscious mind. Very often

tacks the problem from this angle
the worse 1t becomes. The con-
flict may exhaust her entire
energy and make her more liable
TO disease than she was before.
Moreover, she is playing the
enemy's game. for the uncon.
scfous mind knows that the heroic
struggle against i'll health may be
q more effective appeal for sym.
pathy than the i'll health itself.
Few people will believe that
these symptoms are self-induced,
for few have courage to face the
added misery OF nncovering their
own defects of character.
