this or that style that 1 was describing,

the meaning of what was saying but
had put down mechanical signs in her

she never remembered a word of what
she had written the next day.
Now why did this girl act like that
when she would spend her lunch hours
wandering around the dress depart
ments of the big stores seeing what the
new styles were?
The reason is simple. She had wanted
to be a dressmaker. But she thought
being a stenographer more genteel.
Very silly. But not so unusual. Well,
she resented having to work in an
office; so she built wall around her
self when she was in the Office and
never let any Office interest reach her
over that wall.
On the other hand she was never able
to climb that wall herself and make any
progress She remained a stenographer

Needless to say, this is far from salts

urgent need of her money.
When relatives wish to borrow, their
only collateral is customarily their word.
Had they any real collateral to offer, a
bank could probably have been found
to make the loan. OF course, it is all
right to accept the word of an honor

substantial to furnish the wherewithal

ancy between what one is willing to pay
and what one Is able to pay.
In the general run of cases, relatives
turn to us for money when banks and
calculating business men have sat in
Judgment on them. After weighing the
facts, they have come to the conclusion
that money loaned would be subject to
an undue risk When that is the case,
it is worse than folly for us to assume
risks which more able capitalists have

There are occasional cases in which
money loaned to relatives has repaid

Aside from the fact that the boy felt
no pain from the surgical treatment
(snd had no anesthetic), it was remark
able that he retained full consciousness
and unimpaired mental function, al
though a considerable part Of the
cerebrum was destroyed.
Recent surgical observation h a e
proved that the whole of the right
cerebral hemisphere may be removed
withou: disturbance of mentality; this
has been done repeatedly for the re-
moval of large brain tumor.
Both right and left frontal lobes Of
the brain may be removed without dis
turbing the patients mentality. The
patient remains perfectly oriented as 10
time, place and person; the memory is
unimpaired: reading, writing and
mathematical calculation are still done
accurately; conversation is normal.
In other cases the left occipital lobe
and the lower third of the left temporal
lobe have been removed without appar-
ent effect on mentality.
The intellect, therefore, is seated
somewhere in the remaining portion of
the left cerebral hemisphere and is
probably closely associated with the
speech mechanism center.
legation tying Off the anterior
cerebral artery on the left side destroys
consciousness; legation Of the same ar
terry on the right side has no such effect.
The impunity with which large por-
tons of the cerebrum may be destroyed
or removed will suggest different ideas
to different people. To my mind it
suggests the physiological truth l have

thriftiest way to make the chowder is to
use the head of a good sized fish, such
as cod.
The foundation for any OF these
chowderS consists of diced salt pork
fried out in the fish kettle over very
low fire If the family prefer butter, II
can be used instead of the salt pork, but
it lacks the zest of the pork. In this
fry sliced cnion Add little flour and
the liquor of clans. or water for other
chowders. If fish chowder is made
the fish is prepared by boiling and
shredding If clans are the shell fish
used, remove shells and heat the chop
ped CLAIMS in their own liquor. ii
lobster or crabs are used shred the
meat. Potatoes are always used in
chowders, and milk forms the chief
liquid.
Corn kernels will give substance TO a
corn chowder. Rolled crackers are apt
to be put into clam chowder A chow
der is best when slightly thickcned
either with flour or crackers. 1t should
not be heavy like creamed dishes.
The old-fashioned soup plates are re-
turning to favor. They are particularly
good to use for chowderS which are so
hearty that they deserve such con-
tainers. For bouillons and thin soups
the bouillion cups are best.
