Nancy was sure that her young son Peter had inherited his fond neas for sweets from his father. Her husband never seemed to get enough cookies. candies nor pud- dings. But just because he liked them and ate them was no reason for indulging him nor his son in too rich sweets.
 Accordingly Nancy had worked out some recipes for cookies which were satisfying but not cloy- ingly rich. She might have called some of her recipes "health" reel pes. But she knew there was no surer way of making her family dislike foods than to label them ir that fashion or to urge them to eat them because "they were good for them."
 A recipe for a rolled oats cookie was one which was almost worn out from constant use. Nancy usu- ally baked large batch of these and kept them in the cooky jar. She made some at Christmas time and gave them to her young son in place of some of the richer and more traditional Christm $ cookies.

 But Sue was more interested in the man who followed her. He was Jimmy Hayden. Jimmy who was married to Grace.
 Jack and Sue exchanged swift glances.
 Jimmy look slightly embar- rassed as he saw the party. He spoke and passed on. There was a low humble of voices and 6 It, tie laughter from the corner booth where he and Mrs Webber established themselves.
 They were still there when the other party left.

She sifted two cups flour with two teaspoons soda, one half tea spoon salt and one half teaspoon each of grated nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. She creamed one half cup butter substitute with three quarters cup butter and added two cups brown sugar. Then she put in four eggs, well beaten. and one half cup milk. To this she added the flour and spices and two cups raisins and two cups chopped nuts. She dropped the mixture by spoon fuls on a greased cookie sheet. putting the drops about two inches apart.
 Nancy used butter and milk be- cause the cookies were for chil- dren. She might have used all but. ter substitute, used water in place of milk had she been making them for adults. She could well have omitted the nuts, since these cookies were for children.

 School hours are officially. from one-thirty to four. Unofficially they last from the time a child leaves home in the morning until he is through with his home work at night.
 Time off for lunch, recess and trips back and forth to school must be included in school time, be- cause, although a child Is getting exercise and certain social con tacts, 1t all rotates around school and school experience. He cannot use that time for anything else.
 Then he takes home five or ten problems to do, @ page in history and a page in geography to mem orize, English to be done--a theme. a lot of diagramming, or 8 list of verbs to conjugate; a spelling les son to learn, and an extra book or two in which he must do "out- side' reading on which he will be examined later.
 If he is smaller he will have less work, if he is older he will have more. but most children have home work.
 The real truth is that for five days a week most children are either actually studying or carrying about with them the complex of study ing every minute of the day. The short interval between desk and the study table at home Is not a free time mentally because ahead are all those lessons to do. Always a task ahead!
 Opposed to Home Work
 Personally, I believe, I have be- lieved for years, that there is too much home work. l have written 1t, preached itI But mine is mere ly one voice crying in the wilder ness. All about us the curricula of schools are changing in this re- spect of extra work and for the worse, not the better. as a rule.
 There will have to be another change somewhere, sometime In the other direction. What Is the answer? Parents blame the teach CTS. Let us look past the teachers at the grade books showing each teacher at the beginning of the term precisely what work must" be covered by her pupils in so many months, weeks and days, on which they will be examined and on which her position depends.
 She looks the grade over ana does some division then she counts the hours on her clock. There VIII not be enough time to cover half the required work in school. Home must do the rest-the children will have to have home work and !ot of it if they are to get over the grade and pass the examinations at the end of the term, examina- tions she has no hand in making. Don't blame the teachesr. out side reading is an excellent thing but when it is imperative and un- the flat angle of examinations 1t Is interesting and approached from only a bore and @ burden.

As soon as Jack and Joe Beck ley had passed Sue slipped away from the man with whom she had been talking. She didn't know his name. It didn't matter. She hur- ried to the door and got there just as Jack came along.
 She told him the others had left, and was starting away with him when a voice interrupted.
 "I'm sorry to intrude, Mrs Thornton, but I saw you talking to Ruth Bradley a while ago. Do you know, by any chance, whats happened to herr"
 "Oh yes," Sue answered. She's gone along on a party to get some
 "she has! But she came with mel" Possessiveness, not liking to be deprived of whatever 1t had possessed.

 "I brought Ruth" The young doctor answered.
 Good! Then como along with us!" Jacks voice was hearty.
 Thanks. Mind if I do?"
 We would all like it."
 Sue knew that she had succeed ed before the evening was oyer. Ruth had q happy glow in her eyes. She didn't seem afraid to be herself.
 It wasn't very late. The group talked on. The coffee vas hot and golden. So were the waffles.
 Ruth had relaxed and was en- toying herself. She told some funny incidents of her hospital days pr Raynor backed them up and matched them. Miles Roberts. not quite understanding the .ap- pearance of the other man. had accepted him with enough grace. and entered into the swing Of the thing.

 The International Uniform Sun. day School Lesson for Dec 13. Johns Vision on Patmos. Rev 1:4-18.
 By VIM F. GILROY, D. D.
 Editor of the Congregationalist
 From the stirring career of Paul we turn In this single lesson to consider the new religion through the eyes of Q great prophet and poet.
 The writer of this vision, out of the richness and fullness of which he addresses the seven churches of Asia, Is spoken of as John, and he is usually identified with John the apostle and the beloved disciple.
 Our lesson constitutes little more than the introduction to the VI sion. Jesus Christ Is the faithful witness who has loved us and who has washed us from our sins in his own blood. He has made us kings and priests unto God his Father, bringing into human life the high est dignity and glory conceivable.
 ITO him." therefore cries this writer at the outset of his vision, "be glory and dominion for ever ana ever. w IldC u uODlo bOHB oA praise, framed in the atmosphere of the highest and holiest and in terms of sublimity, do we find in the first three verses that intro- duce our lesson with their appro- priate Amen"
 The writer of the vision goes on then to speak of the supremacy of this eternal spiritual Christ who is the Alpha and Omega. the be- gining and the ending. From this lofty place he comes down to earth to remind those to whom he Is writing that he is their brother and companion in tribulation. He tells how he was on the island call- ed Patmos with the Christian mis- sion of preaching the word of truth and bearing witness for Jesus Christ, and being in the spirit on the Lords Day he heard a great voice like 0 trumpet saying, T am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last," and giving him mes- sages that he was to send to the churches of Asia.
 It Is a fanciful picture.
 Was it something that had ap- peared to him in a real vision,

GETS GOOD WIFE
BY IN
THE HOME PAPER

Hickory-Not all newspaper rornances are
fiction.
Here's the story of one right here in Hick-
DRY that proves it pays to advertise-pro-
viding one does it judiciously.
William Hefner, a respected Longview Cit
izen, was living alone and decided there must
be some good women somewhere who would
make life happier and whom he could make
happy.
In order that he might get acquainted with
some women of about his own age, Mr.. Hef-
ner advertised in The Record, stating frank
ly what his purpose was.
More than thirty replies came to him. The
address was to a Record box and Mr.. Hef-
ner picked out the one that he considered
most likely suited to him as a life mate.
That woman was Mrs. Clara Holler, at
the eastern edge of the Highland section.
TIL two got acquainted and MIR. FTefner
courted Mrs. Holler for about a year.
The two decided that they could make no
mistake by casting their lot together-so
they were married by the Rev. C. X. Wise
of Good Hope church. The happy couple
now resides in Mr.. Hefner's old home in
Longview.
The bride has five grown children-four
daughters and one son-all residents of this
vicinity.
The groom has six children, five daughters
and one son-all residents of Kansas and the
southwest.
81 think l got the best woman l could
have found in forty-eight states, The Record
helped me to locate her," Mr.. Hefner de-
clared smilingly, when he called at the Jews
paper office to prove that not all mail-order
courtships are dangerous.
cit all depends upon the people and wheth-
er or not they are Serious Mr.. Hefner con-
cluded.
