They were like sweethearts at their first parting â€" they were sweethearts. Actually tiiore were tears in Phil- ippa's blue eyes; two days were so long. _ "Tell Gnsndmums not to mind growinsr olJ -tell her she can lean on us; the deur!" "Lean noth.ng!

Phil, darlins?, aren't you Koinij to let me kiss you good-bye?" His deatirvation provc<l to be a de- lightful little hamlet of fine oil white houses set amonij many trees. In one of those houses lived poor declining Grandmums and Luther inquired of the station master which houje. "Ma;' Moody â€" .Vnfielina Moody, f-ou mean?

You sec her go past, didn't you, Alf?" To Lutl'.cr'.s mystification the an- swer of .\!f was delivered in the form of an open wink followed by a dirtintt and cari-ying thuokie. 'fhe station m/xster laughed enjoyin^'ly. "That's ri-ht â€" -he's over to Til- den. You'll find her over theri>, mis- ter. Tilden's our county town; court's settin' over there. Anxelina'll be at the court houseâ€" she had busi- ness over to court, didn't she, .A!f?" A,"ra'n the wink, again the chuckle. Luther beg<:in to fe-I wrathful â€" like doubling up his fists and piti'hing into these two grinnors, in defen«e of .Angelina Moody who was indubit- ably Crand'munK-. Hut the station masters next lenjark delivered in tones of admiring pride saved the station master. ".She's great, An- gelina is! She'll get the best of them!" "Is Tiltl'an far from here? Can I get conveyance there?" ".Sure you can. miKter. I'll take you over myself - only two mile.s by the Mill n/ad. .\!f, you slay around till the six o'clock, wi!l ye? An' .«ny, you can deliver Lh-em two expresses over to .Angelina's while 'you're wait'ng." All tiie way over the Mill road the station ma.iter was pleasantly eommunicative but only his fir?t re- mark remained in Llither'.^ mind. Re- mained? It took hold violeiitly, winke<l and grir.ned at him. "Yes, sir. everybody our way was pleased as Punch 'n' JjJy when Iha old lady was took up for breaking the speed limits.

As long s.^ he lived that pirture would live on the walls of Luther's memory: A big b«re room; d.i.st and cobwel>s and Kiii'fhine; the .ledge and Angelina. All the 'rthcrs were mere background to (hose two. - Not for an instant had Luther been in doubt of its being Orandmum'i.

Johnny and .llmniy were at a party, and, heiiiB away in a corner at sup- i per-tlmo, iliey were not lookoil after j very well. They managed to got soma Jelly and bread-and butter, but no spoons. : "How shall wc eat our Jolly?" ask- ed Jimmy. "Balance It on our bread and but- ter," said Johnny. "1 tried that," retorted Tommy, "but it won'8 stay on; it's loo nervous." Things Worth While. 1 have been thinkin.? a great deal lately about things rsally worth while. Kver since the y ung mother wrote and asked the help of some old reader.! in planning her work so as to gel everything done, I've been speculating on how many of us really plan to do the most important thing.?. Of course, none of us ever get everything done, whether we are hou.?ekeepers or farmers, or clerks. One woman tells me she never sees a day that she doesn't plan to do just four times as much as any one per- son could do, and while that seems like rather pretentiouj planning, man.v of us never see a day that wc couldn't' find at least four times as much work waiting for us a.-, v/o ever get done. I have been wonder- ing about that feature of it, the amount of work we sec and our state of mind concerning it. Don't some of us con.-^cientious housekeepers see too much? Isn't that what tires us? Honestly, is it the quantity of work you have done t'mt keeps you toss- ing about nights, or tlie worrying over what you should have done, and didn't do? Doesn't it tire you more! to think aliout what you should do,' than actually to do the ragular day's I tasks. I .Aren't housekeepers as a rule' especially if there are children, troubled with the overwork habit? Don't they spend too much time at hard la!)or and not enough at play? No one knows better than 1 that you \ could work every hour of the twenty-' four and still not get everything done. But on the other hand, haven't you found when you did plan to get a little play spell that you worked all the better for it? You could, work with a better spirit while pre-' paring for the holiday, and after it' you came back with quickened wits j and a nev." zest for the ordinary, I humdiTJm duties. It has been some time since I was a country school teacher, but I still have a jjleasant memory of one home in which I lived a year. And the memory is not because of the won- derful coolicry or perfect liouse- kcepin.g. though no one could find fault with them. It was a busy farm home, with three active chil- dren, and we all know that spells work. But every day, rain or shine, haying, harvest, or slack time, there was a half hour for a "sing." Every- one got around the little fiv»-octave organ and someone pla.ved while every one sang. There were no Carusos nor Melbas in the group, but the singing pleased us all the better; because we did it ourselves and we! all felt it. We sang because we liked! to and the words had a definite meaning to us. No jazz nor. "Ha- i waiian Dreisms," in fact, no ragtime of any sort. So you tee it was quite a while ago. For the most part we sang gospel hymns with an occa- .»ional patriotic song. Possibly we sang off key, I know one of us did, and perhaps no impresario would have slopped in the road to listen, hut anyhow we enjoyed the brief rest from work and we got some- thing which took us through another day in better spirit. You may not care for the "sing." But isn't the idea of taking a half- hour off worth something? Perhaps you would rather read, or get out- doors and walk, or sil down and rock I and crochet. Or it may be a nap is| what you need. If you are one of I those uncounted women who has| socrctl.v, pined to do some special! thing and never found the time, why not take ^ half-hour daily for your "fad"? It is surprising how much! you can accomplish in thirty min-| utes daily. That means three hours a week, nearly a half-day. We lay too much stress on what we term necessities. Many of the necessities are so only in name. We could get along without quite a num- ber of them. .And we pay too little attention to the really worth-while things of the mind and soul. Re- solve to give yourself a daily play spell, and you will find the hours spent at hard labor will be easier. until stiff, the cheese and gelatin dissolved in hot water and cooled.

For years I worked in a large kit- chenâ€"in a kitchen which was even larger than our dining room. It was used for almost everythingâ€" as a meeting place for the men who were waiting for their meals, as well as for a laundry. When we had saved up enough to fix over our house, I determined that I would have the kitchen the way I wanted it. It would be my worl:- shop and not a place to do general chores. I decided to adopt the effi- ciency measures used in business. If time and energy could be saved by routing work in an orderly and sys- tematic manner in factories, why not ill my kitchen? My new kitchen should be ari'anged so that steps would not have to be retraced. So now my huoband has an office where the men wait for meals, and the laundry work is done in a sep- arate room provided for that pur- pose. Both the men and I find this arrangement much more pleasant. I use my kitchen now almost ex- clusively for the work for which it was intended â€" the preparin;; and clearing away of meals. In the ar- rangement I followed a plan re.?om- mended by a domestic science spec- ialist whom I know, and I have found it a great time and step saver. In preparing a meal the raw food and utensils arep laced to the left of the stove. The serving table used for assembling the dishes for the dining room is to the right of the stove. The soiled dishes are brought from the dining room to the right side of the sink, where they are washed. They are drair.ed on the left side of the s.ink. The cupboard] for the china is near the dining room women of my age â- would be equally happy in doing the same thing. « PRINCE 18 A GOOD LANDLORD. Heir to Throne Interests Himself in Duchy of Cornwall Tenants. Since his return to London the Prince ot Wales has displayed the greatest peirsonal interest in the Lon- don tenants on the Duchy of Cornwall estate. He has expressed his inten- tion to become acquainted with them all, and, following a visit to them re- cently he, aecompanied by Princess Mary, spent another iifternoon with them at the Old Tenants' Hostel. Tin Prince remained a long time with each tenant, all of whom had had relations serving in the forces, and in- I quired particularly into their e.\- ; periences. One ot the tenants with j whom he chatted is s^id to be the old- I est living clown in England; though , 79 years of age, he appeared at Drury Lane Theatre this year, i Important schemes for the develop- J ment of the Duchy estates are under : consideration, and will be carried out ' >«1\en a return to normal conditions ' permits. Tho liousing schema upon the London property ot the Duchy, which : was interrupted by tho war. will be I resumed, and in the meantime many , of the larger houses are being con- I verted into tenements. I In Cornwall the natural resources of the Duchy estate arc to be explored ' and developed. A diamond drill is to \ bo set up in connection with the wol- fram mines, and, where mineral re- sources aro found, full investigation will be made to ascortain whether by the application of modern scientilic methods they can be worked with profit. The oyster fisheries, near Fal- mouth, revived during the war, having proved very s.iccessful, are to be much extended. On the land a co-partner- ship scheme is to bo tried, the workers on the largo farms being given a fixed wage and a share of the profits, while for those who prefer to be more inde- pendent small holdings are to be es- tablished. It is proposed to plant trees on the eastern side of Dartmoor upon about 230 acres each year, and it is hoped by establishing small holdings nearby to provide work in the winter for small holders. Nothing can bo done at pre- sent owing to the difficulty of provid- ing the necessary buildings, but when the small holdings are established they will be offered to the people of Dart- moor, knowledge of local conditions being regarded as essential to success in thid district LADIES TO DO NEEDLEWORK WiirK at liom«. liocid |).iy.

The woodwork should be plain and flat, without panels. In clioosin.g the color for the walls the housewife I sliould be guided by the position of the room. A north room needs ai warmer tint than a south room. The' best floor covering is hardwood or linoleum, which should be varnished once a year, and oftener if there is much wear.
