However much the Home Demon- stration approved of that' up-to-date kitchen, it is absolutely certain no Domestic Science teacher could have sanctioned the Labor Day menu, from the standpoint of diabetics, but sea- soned as it was with love and loving Labor Day brought the climax of the summer’s work. The bungalow was complete, even to the screened-in porch. Peter G. was coming out for the week and Jean and Sara, with the boys to help, were to serve a dinner entirely of their own planning and cogking. Granny gave them a famous Hue- andâ€"white linen coverlet that had-Loon woven by her mother and that was to cover the couch on the dining- porch. The kitchen was enough to give joy to the heart of any housewife. Granny insisted upon just one thing, a “com- fy” rocker 'by the sunniest window, cushioned in delicate blue cretvonne, a thing of joy. To Sara and Jean was given the privilege of buying the dishes and all kitchen acces's‘oxies for the bungalow. They devoured several volumes on up-l tavdate household appliances, read all the advertisements and finally calledl in the County Home De-monstration' Agent to help them with the kitchen,‘ (which was to be electrically equipped.

Tell Ime, honest to goodness, Granny! I’v'e got to know!” Fearlessly Granny looked into the previously, he had been dying from this disease when he was accidentally bitten by a pit viper.

Many were the evenings Jean and George joined them while they popped corn and cracked nuts or swapped yarns or took turns reading aloud. Granny was a wonderful hostess and she or Grandfather were always ready with a story or b_ook that just fitted in. Tom slept .in the little room under the eaves where Peter G., not yet dub- bed Peter the Great, had slept and dreamed of future achievements? Tom’s dreams were all of farm Man- agement and Sara’s all of homemak- There was Laughter and discussion, and the old homestead won. They shut up the bungalow. Mary went back to Montreal to make company for Peter G. in the big city home, and Tom and Sara moved over with Grandfather and Granny. Before ahyone ' could speak Sam spoke up, “Well, if Tom stays, I guess I can stay, too, so there!” Thanksgiving evening they were all around the "open fire Therey had been one of those comfol table silences when each is engrossed with thoughts too deep for 'words. Suddenly Tom growled: “I am not going back to townâ€"if Grandfather and Granny will let me stay and work for them this winter! Say! Mayn't I?” So once more preparations were made for a great dinner. This time the celebration was to be at the o-Id farm home and Granny, serene ’and “Spry,” had never enjoyed prepara- tions for a big dinner more than this. The family had planned to go back to town by the first of October but the young folks coax-ed and it was finally decided to stay out until Thanksgiving and then Peter G. could come out for another week and take them all home with him. When the radiant vision of girlhood, who was his once fretful and bored‘ and fashionable city girl, served that noever-to-‘be-forgotten dinner, Peter G. remembered how proud he had been of her when she was a tiny girl and stood on the stair step every evening to “say pieces" before being tucked in bed. And now, when she lightly kissed him on the back of the neck and said: “Isn‘t that chicken simply de-Licious.

Grandfather laughed aloud: “Bulvly for the girl! She has brain's up under those curl-s of hers.” Granny sat still with closed eyes and a Light on her face. Quietly his mother reached over and stroked the hair boyishly flung back from Tom's brow. ‘ am to make the soil make us a living «if she marries me.

Pontooning is employ ‘ Whenever possible for salving sun en ships; the second method is for ships to be pumped and floated, which means that divers must go down, locate holes, and mend them with plates, before thel ship is pumped free rrom water and raised again. In a third method com- pressed air is used to force the water out of the ship at the bottom of the ocean. “Our ownâ€"our very own, Father’s and mine!” the dear old lady was thinking. “The best has come, the last of life for which the firsrt was made.” Mother knew her: Browning. A1 So it happened that the formal open- ing of the bungalow was just a year later than the day on which Peter had come back. This time he came with his Wife, who was his comrade and companion, and his children waitâ€" ed to welcome him. The odd moon must have felt pretty fine that evening when she spied the group on the verandah of the bung- alow and heard their summer plans. More than once she saw Granny wipe away a tear. Granny and Grandfather were on the verandah when they drove up to the bungalow. Radiant and breathless, Sara ruushed up to them and hastily gave each a peck of a kiss and told them to come quick to see the chickâ€" ens. She and Tom were just getting them into‘the broader house. They must see the garden, too! And then the happy family group wandered down to the pasture to see the cows and Tom'threw his arms about the neck of Bess De Kol Aagie while Peter G. silently thanked heaven for the lure of the farm. When garden time came they could hardly wait to plant the seeds and watched almost every hour of every day for the first tiny green shoots to push through the warm earth. Early in the morning, Granny and Sara would garden while the men milked, and as they worked they grew closer in spirit. " Mary would not leave Peter G. until he could leave tooâ€"near the first of July, she wrote, and oh joy! he was making all plans to stay for the sum- mer. » And Tom was forced to be con-tent with that. i So it came on spring and in vain Montreal City called the young: folk. Sara and Tom were to have this “entire charge” of Grandmother’s chicken businessâ€"under supervision! _ They were fearful lest the incubator would not hatch out the chickens for them, and when the fluffy white balls began to come out of the shellls, their ex- citement knew no bounds. Then she lifted the veil that the lad might see and know the sweet story of unspoiled youth. When the story'xvas toLd, Tom reverently kissed her and started tothe village. Minnie opened the door to him that levening and in a flash she knew that her “little girl” was a child no longer and that this ‘boy-man knew it too. “I do like you, Tom,” said Jean 'frankly to him as they sat alone by the fire, “better than anyone I know. But can’t we go on just as we have been and learn to know each other better?” . “I lovedâ€"hi1}: lad, ind Iinever loved anyone else.

Between 8,000 to 10,000 ships, of which nearly 6,000 are British, it is estimated, are lying on the ocean bed. These sunken ships are reckoned to account for about 15,053,786 gross tons, and their estimated value is $1,330,033.750â€"at pre-war shipbuilding rates. With their cargoes, the ships below the sea are WOrth more than five billionâ€"experts put the figures at $6,021,513,400 roughly. There is need for the ships as well as their precious cargoes to be raised, and there is small doubt that the sal- vage engineer will be‘ kept busy for years hence. Michael is the captain general and leader of the heavenly armies. It was he who conquered Satan and drove him with his rebellious legions, out of Heaven. He is understood to have been in command of the band of angels who, in obedience to divine orders, performed the work of constructing the universe. In painting he is repre- sented with a pair of scales, which he will use on the day of judgment to weigh the souls of the ,dead. Gabriel, the angel of the annucit- tion, has in his charge the celestial treasury. Raphael is chief of the guardian angels, whose business it is to look out for the welfare of man- kind. Uriel is the regent of the sun. iJophiel is caretaker of the tree of knowledge; and it was he who drove‘ Adam and Eve out of Eden. Chamuel ‘ was the angel who wrestled with Jac- ob, and it was Zadkiel who stayed the hand of Abraham when about to sacri- i fice his son Isaac. Among all the celestial hosts, only the seven archangels are known as individuals and by name. These, as named in the Bible, are Michael Ga- briel, Raphael, Uriel, Jophiel Channel and Zadkiel sion; and it will be noted that usually they are blondes. But the archangels are invariably represented as of male sex. Fra. Angelica was the first painter who ventured to depict angels of the gentler sex.
