Green Pea Soup. Braised Steak. Cabbage, Feathered Potatoes. Banana Cake Pudding. Green Pea Soup.—-Shell l£lb fresh green peas. Cook in water to cover with a sprig of mint and 1 teaspoon sugar. When tender and soft, remove mint and force peas through a sieve. Measure and add sufficient milk to make 4 to 5 cups. Heat to boiling point, add a little butter, salt and pepper to taste.

Make a foot-long sausage of soft material, with a cord loop at each end. Hitch the loops over each door-handle, and i you won*t jump to your feet murmuring vengeance on whoever it was left ,the door open. Things you can also save are last year's rubber hot water bottles and bathing aaps. Buy a small tin of rubber solution, and you will never be able to find an end to its uses. Fix round half-crown-size pieces on the underneaths of trays, on the backs of chairs that get pushed by youthful hands against the wall, larger pieces on the shoulders of brooms and ' brushes'where they knock the furniture, and oihers on the handles where they fall asd knock the wall. ASM AT PEACE. Go around the window catches and door locks with the small oil-can from your sewing machine. Keep two or three rubber5 window wedges for the nights when autumn gales rattle every window .that was ever made,
