The Silver Lining
Florence NGdtck Box

The period of depression" has
detoured us from keeping up with
the Joneses" to re-estimating, on
our own, what things are most
worthwhile and what are non-es-
entails, 'simperimenta," as Caesar
calls them in his Gaelic Wars"
Why burden ourselves with those
false standards, carry along all
that excess baggage?
We are learning that many OF
the simplest things of life are the
most beautiful, after all. A fishing
trip in the early morning, when
the dawn is alive with bird songs,
is as pleasurable as an expensive
golf tourney. A rock garden in
ones own back yard, may give
more real satisfaction than a
trip to the Rockies. The babycab in
the home is really more delectable
than a ten cylinder sedan. We still
have fresh air, health, homes,
children, family love, the joy Of
doing for one another and all the
best things of life. What we need
to do is to take a re-appraisal of
our blessings and to change our
tune from "The Jazz Blues" to the
Doxology.

it will be another new delight, an
other spring to plan my small

better knowledge Of gardenry.

Fashions, Fads, Foibles

Good old seersucker is running
rampant in hot weather clothes
for men and women. They are in
line with the mesh indies, lace
gowns and other soft materials
which you do not have to iron.
A wisp of veil is donned by
milady when she wishes to be mys-
terious and teasing. White shoes
in kid, canvas or calf-skin are
hand-painted to harmonic with
the costume with which they are to
be worn.
The thrifty times are doing
something to women's shoes. They
are driving women to buying low
er heeled shoes, for walking, and
to save taxi-fares. They are MAX
ing conservative shoes, and the old
standby, black, more popular.
Tailored styles in clothes for
the tiny tot are favorites with
mothers because they stand hard
play and are easy to wash and
iron. Flags and animal designs
are applied on these play suits.

problem, but is anything lovelier
than the little rose-covered cot
tage, on quiet broad acres where
the milk comes fresh from the
cow, Strawberries fresh from the
vines, and greens fresh from the
garden which Mother and the kids
have tended? 1t is fun-if you
look at it so-to draw your water
from cistern, sit about a kero-
sene lamp, be warmed by wood
stove, sleep far removed from the
all-night roar of passing autos
and be awakened in the morning
by song Of the birds or the crow
of Chandelier.
Many luxuries, which we adopt
ed in the riotous age, may be sluf-
fed off to our benefit! Undertak-
ers tell us that their business, too,
is suffering because people are not
dying in such prosperous numbers.
1t may take bit of heroism to
adjust your mind to it, but when
once you face it courageously,
there is nothing lovelier or more
rich in satisfaction than the good
old fundamentals all of which
are with US still. Thanks be, for
the de-bunking of our ideals and
manner of living, brought about
by the shard times"

Serving Berries

One of the virtues of berries is
that they have distinctive flavor.
They should be served with dishes
which are not strong favored and
which will not outshine the flavor
of the berries: such as angel food
cake or lady-fingers, or blanc
mango. A nice way to extend the
flavor of raspberries and other
delicate fruit is that often used
with crushed pineapple. Crush and
sweeten berries and add them to
diced marshmallows and whipped
cream. Mix the combination some
time before the serving, that the
marshmallows may absorb some of
the excess juice. To serve the ber-
ries with ice-cream is always well
come. Berries served with other
dishes should be covered with
about half their bulk in sugar and
allowed to stand for thirty min
utes until the sweetness has pene-
trated them. Berries are delicious
IN shortcakes. and spread with the
berries, sweetened as above. Whip
ped cream is pleasant addition.
Fruit cobblers are made with ber-
ries in a deep dish, covered with
an extra rich biscuit dough, roll
ed thin and baked. Black berries or
huckleberries may be added to
cake or puddingsormuffin batter.
Berries are excellent for jellies
and jam, but on account of their
lack of Dectin, it is necessary to
nd . little commercial pectin to
make the Jelly firm and keep the
jam from being rummy.

Thoughts For These
ssTimes''

If I have faltered, more or less,
In my great task of happiness;
If have moved among my race
And shown no glorious morning
face;
Il beams from happy human eyes
Have moved me not; if morning
skies,
Cooks and my food; and summer
rain
Knocks on my sullen heart in vain,
Lord, thy most pointed pleasure
take
And stab my spirit broad awake.

Special Papers Are
Dedicated to Parents

Under the sponsorship of the jour-
nalism class "a special edition of the
High School Herald was edited and
dedicated to the parents Nov. 10. A
copy of this issue was given to every
student in high school to take home
to his parents.
The parents edition was an out
growth of Open House, which was
held at the high school Oct. 10. At
Open House the parents followed
their children's schedule and In each
class an outline of the work was CIV
en- to them by the instructor. In this
way they became better acquainted
with their children's school work and
were shown the need of closer rela-
tionship between the home and the
school.
The special edition of the Herald
furthered the idea of the need for
cooperation between the parents and
teachers by encouraging the parents
to participate more in school activities,
A special edition of the Pepette, the
junior high school paper, was dedi-
Gated to the parents. Like the Her
aid it showed that a mutual under
standing between the parents and
teachers was needed. The grade
schools are also planning to edit pa
pers stressing the same idea, In the
near future.

Junior High Pupils
Prepare Scrap-Books

Junior high pupils, under the su-

scrap-books to be given to hospitals
throughout the state. They are do
ing this outside of school hours
These scrap-books, which will con-
tain attractive pictures, will be used
by the hospitals to entertain young
patients. The project will continue
until a large number of books have
been made.
An interesting feature is the fact
that no pictures of food may be in
cluded, as such pictures may make
the patients hungry for things that
they should not have. Each scrap
book will treat certain subject
Some may have collection of pic
lures pertaining to the different sea-
