There is a legend told of a knight who in boyhood. left liis home to go and search for the Holy Grail: he travelled in far countries, he fought with pagans, until old and wounded and weary, he turned home heartbroken, because his quest had been in vain. While he was away his lands had been stolen from him, liis castle destroyed. lmt instinct drew him, a. penniless beggar, to the old gates of his home. And as he stood there, outside the gate, two angels appeared inside it holding out to him the Iloly Grail lie had spent his life seeking Aijen’t some women rather like that knight ? The home is such an obvious place they think—the place women have always occupied, therefore they must seek the meaning of life outside it. Tint is there any meaning in Life, for a woman, without a home and a man and babies ? I don’t say she should not develop brains and ust* them for work outside tin* homo. Do all you can—he a doctor, a writer, a business woman if you will, hut: make a home your background and put into it: your very best work. High ambitions to help the world, held, by so many young girls to-day. are rather like that: old ('rusa.ler’s quest, unless (lu- home is one’s anchor. The women who will make a home enshrining in it the Grail of Dove and Gentleness and Service, are few and far between. Don’t wait to iind this out too late ! Sl‘-AS 11> E FDIRTATJ OXS 1 h<_> dc'or of the cage is opening— We’re out, tree and off! Wo have to pack a whole eternity in to a single Pa t.:light—if we don’t wliat happens? The precious fortnight shrinks to a minute. Now. a second’s attention Lo a nolle, ot warning while you are ill the train ! It is no use your scolfinjg. You are going i<, make the acquaintance of a certain someone. He flits- the occasion .surprisingly well. He is jiitt night, liis manner is gay and carefree, his smile is friendly nothing . is any trouble- to him. There in vor wore arms so willing. lie’ll fetch and carry anything for you. His humour is per'oet. Just the holiday humour! You like tile pressure l of his hand, light and friendly, with jurt a sort of soe-you-to-morrow intimacy mboufc it. He,iv we have the ideal holiday companion. AVonldn.’t it- he a. pity if we -spoilt it all by taking it Ot-d hhn too-

seriiiiLj y Y If there is & danger in ike holiday Hirtatiuoii it lies thereDon’t forgOD it is a. holiday. La.st year there was someone else —gome other dream-inaid; some other dieainliiaii. For a. holiday is a. dream or should be—a happy dream. A dream crystallised intoi a Tittle gem of reality! You and be are or should be, like the bees going from dower to dower sipping holiday honey. He’s regarding you like that aid the time. There was a, line on his brow when he came for his holidaydark dings under his eyes. Your eyes and brow have those dark rings a/Dld that line too. With the magic of that holiday spirit that is abroad in you you make those traces °f wiw'kaday ca re Vo away form him ■with 1 lie same light airy touch ho docs the same for you. That is something to have done for one another. "When the- holiday is over a.nd you go hack you must not,,fls some girts do, think of him in. the same way as you did when you wore holiday making, dream-malcmg, winging yo'ur wav out of yourself for the sweet, brief spell before you. Remember holiday love-maki-ug should have no more substance than a dream. I *c lit have the illusion, ef reality if you like, but at your peril lot it have more sway with you than a dream. The seaside Holiday should be n thing of delight f«r ever, not a mein--0.1 V '’full of distress, a- a-egfot table ma-ter. Only light-hearted flirtations —light as the foam of the *ca. a- i, were-—should he entertained | by the seaside.—F.Al.R., in the Glas- ’ gow Weekly Herald. | RHUBARB GI^AMPAGNE <Ub of rhubarb stalks to every gallon of cold water. Crush the stalks an l add water: stand for two or three days, stirring daily. Strain, and to every gallon of juice allow 411, of sugar and the rind ot* one lemon (thinly peeled). Allow to ferment for five days covered with a blanket As soon as the hissing noise subsides draw or strain liquor into cask or jars and add loz of isinglass (dissolved in a little warm water). Fill to the top and bung tightly. Leave for six months. Bottle and seal. Leave another three months, when it will bo ready to use. A luin lful of raisins can l>o added to assist fermentation if it is a little slow. This should lie a nice amber colour, clear and crystal looking.

Strain off the juice next day and lioil it up with tin* rest of the sugar. Add the rhubarb and lioil for MO or 40 minutes. then add the tigs, cut up, and boil for another half-hour or until it sets. It can be dime without put' ting it over-niglit, just boiling the rhubarb and sugar together as in any other conserve and then adding the cut-up tigs half and hour before it is done. WHAT MAKES THE PERFECT WIFE 't Wliat makes the perfect wife? Mos T men would, agree in their hearty that ,the iper’leiLic wife is .one >vlio rules her husband by conceding liis superiority, who give's- him deep affection while always keeping him as the suitor, who declares her belief in him when her soul is sick with dckih-ts, who him peace though the cook has burned the steak, who, gives him praise though the world thinks him nobody, and who keeps herself pretty even when his eye sees nothing but* the distant golf links . If, in addition toi all this she will think of him as the perfect husband, who will deny tlia.D here is the perfect wife?
