(Home Chats BEST No. 2$ "Do not hang all your mottoes on the wall. lUng some of them In your heart and In your life." How Would You Like Dessert For Your First Course? M.itiy families In England have their dessert IlraU In fact, "Those people who eat York hlr.> pudding with meat and potatoes are all wrong. Wa eat It always at the beginning of our meal," said the Yorkshire lady from England with nature's real complexion 9f peaches and cream. Then by a strange coincidence ad- vice (oui.-s from Ualtlmore with the i.'inio Instructions. "How would you like your apple pie smothered In Ice creazu first and then finish with beef- iteak smothered In onions?" In China, too, the people start a meal with dessert. Then aftor the sweets have taken the edge off tho ap- petite as much meat and vegetables may be eaten as desired. The Kev. W. A. Crawford of Frost Emmorton, Md., Rector of St. Mary's church, Bays: "I am persuaded tbat this Chinese custom was adopted centuries ago as a food conservation measure, for fami- lies are common and people run Into millions In small areas. These Chinese customs are more rational and less animal than ours, and It Is also more healthful, for when one ends a meal with sweets and acid reaction occurs In the mouth which is bad for the teeth and system gent-rally." Twilight Hour Story Chicks and Other Little Friends Fluffy was a funny pu.ss that day up In the attic, wasn't she?* .She just sat on the floor and wouldn't do anything but sit and pretend she was sleeping. "Can't you guess, Billy boy, what that little (scratching uolse was?" "N'o, I can't guess. Do you know?" laid Hilly, giving up guessing. "Yes, I know," said Mamma Lady. "Fluffy had her kittens and has hid- den them away. I fixed up a ulce box for her to have them In, but, as I told you, she was afraid Hover would come and p<>ko bis nose In the box some time when be was snooping around and she Just wouldn't have that, so thought she'd hide them whore Ilover cmiMn't come." This was wonderful news to Billy to know Fluffy had kittens, and he laughed and laughed. "Oh, Mamma, won't they be cute? Do you think their fur will ID long like hers? Ob, I can hardly wait till we fli:d them." Then he got quite excited, and get ting down on the floor close to puss, he> coaxed, "Fluffy, where are they? Oh, do tell us, please. Fluffy." l!it Fluffy just sat there and purred and put her paws under her body more comfortably and wouldn't tell a thing. They hunted and hunted but couldn't find them. If they went down stairs and listened sometimes they hoard a little scratching uolse. Oh, a very lit- tle noise, but that was all. Well Billy, I believe Fluffy has her kittens away underneath tjie floor. However did she get there? She must havo gone away back In the attic where there is no floor and then walk ed along underneath between the floor and the downstairs ceiling util she got to the chimney. She chose a nice warm spot, didn't she? But how are we going to get them out is the ques- tion," said Mamma Lady, thoughtfully and quite puzzled. "If Daddy were hero he'd soon get them out by tak- ing up tho floor, but he won't be back for three weeks. If we should leave thorn there all that time they would be so shy we couldn't get n-.ir them. We want them tame and cute, don't we?" "I should s.iy we do," he sighed. "What can we do, Mamma? Wo must think up a way." Billy was feeling pretty disappointed. "Why did she go and put thorn away In there?" "Well, you see, Rover Is pretty big looking to Fluffy, and sometimes a lit- tle rough. I guess she remembered how bo used to run after her when she was just little. So now she thought he might hurt her babies." Thoy walked slowly back to the at- tic door loading downstairs and when they looked for Fluffy she wasn't there. Mamma Lady laughed. You see, dear. Fluffy wont to her kittens when we weren't looking. She seems to want to tease us, doesn't she? Now that she U with them, perhaps If we go back we can hear them when she starts washing them all over like Top*y used to do with her* out In the barn. They aro always so glad to see her they begin to meow, which means, 'Hello, Mamma, I'm glad you are back'." So back they hurried for the spot where they though the kittens might bo, and put their cars to the floor and listened.

The Advantage of Co-education Lord I.ytlon In the Nuw Era (Lon- don) : I am a firm believer In the gen- i-r:il principle that boys and girls Kh'.iiM bo educated together as far as possible. Family life U the natural i-nvlronmnt for the child till adolesc- ence. School life Is an Inevitable du- parturo from tho natural, but this de- parture should bo made aa Ilttlo as possible. The segregation of boys and girls In separate boarding-spools pro- din --s conditions which make tho wid- est possible divergence frflm those of the family. The size of tho whole com- inn nil y, tho existence of large num- bers of approximately the same ago, and finally the presence of only one ox, produce an environment which Is wholly unnatural and artificial. If children must be boarded together In order to bo taught, the schools should be kept as small as possible, and should Include children of different ages and both sexes. Britain's Export Trade London Times Trade Supplement: Too many firms have been content to await orders from merchant houses and to make no offorts to keep In touch with changing condi- tions In the> countries where their goods are consumed. The latest and most authoritative warning of the Inevitable result of neglecting to make personal visits to foreign mar- kets has come from the Prince of Wales, and In confirmation of what ho has said Is the fact that during tho prolonged depression of recent years nothing has been more remarkable than that certain businesses which have made a practice of keeping In touch with their foreign markets by frequent visits, paid by Important and responsible members of the firm, havo suffered lss acutely than others. Explorer Finds Vast Field Of Ice in British Columbia Montreal Discovery o! an Im- mense and accessible lce> field of about 350 square miles in the H:M River district of British Columbia la reported by Major F. V. Longstaff. of Victoria, B.C., who, wlht two Swiss guides, explored the region. He believes it will become an Im- portant scenic attraction. In his opinion It surpasses the famed Col- umbia ice field. It provides the source of several large rivers, among them the Squamish, Bridge, Whitewater, Lll- loet, Tohamanil and Southgato. On or near the Ice field the explorers noticed a dozen mountain peaks about 10.000 feet high. The distance from tho nearest point of the motor road In the Bridge River valley to the gravel flat of the main glacier Is forty-five miles by the river trail, the explorer said.

A Windy-Day Task It Is well to select a warm day for washing quilts, and a bit of wind Is helpful In hurrying the drying pro- cess. A generous suds Is made In soft water, or water softened with borai, using a mild soap or soap flakes. The quilt Is Immersed In this soapy bath and allowed to soak for 30 minutes before the washing proper begins. Dip the quilt up and down In the soapy water to force out the loosen- ed dirt, but do not rub, because that loosens the cotton filling and forms lumps In It. The washing machine may be used for the heavy work, and If there are still badly soiled places, they can be removed with a brush dipped In soapy water. Rinsing Is done In two waters, both of the same temperature as the wash water. Then the dripping quilt Is hung outdoors between two lines. Wringing is also to be avoided, since It forms lumps In the cotton filling. Careful squeezing Is allowed If there Is no twisting. When the quilt Is partly dry, beat It llnh'ly with a rattan carpet beat- er, or a small branch stripped of Its leaves. This gentle beating helps to make the cotton filling fluffy. The quilt, when dry, may be pressed with a warm Iron. It will then be Just aa attractive as a new one. .> - A Case in Camera The police officer was put In the wit- ness box.

Water Sterilized by Beads; Harmful Germs Electrocuted Harmful genus In water are elec- trocuted by a storllzlng process de- veloped In England that uses neither chemicals nor filters. Instead the water Is purified by simply Immers- ing specially treated silver beads In It, explains "Popular Mechanic* Magazine." It has long ben known that certain metals. Including silver, gold and palladium, have the prop- erty of ' destroying bacteria, when brought In contact with them, and the sterilizer accelerates what Is call- ed the "ollgo-dyuamlcal" action so that water is mado gormfrea in one or two hours. Water so treated has powerful sterilization properties of Its own and may be used for wash- Ing nursing bottles, cooking utensils and surgical Instruments.

Acts 1: 8. ANALYSIS I. THE PROMISE, Acts 1: 8-12. II. THE PREPARATION, Acts 1: 13, 14. III. THE FULFILMENT, Acts 2: 1-13. INTRODUCTION This week we begin ! a study of early Christianity and iti spread into the Gentile world. The movement was definitely launched in that glowing experience on the day of Pentecost On several pre<-:ous oc- casions the disciples had assurances that their crucified Lord was alive. But these moments of illumination ..ere not long continued, and eventu- ally they ceased altogether. "Jesus was parted from them" at the Ascen- sion. Then, ten days later, came this new experience "The Gift of the Holy Spirit." I. THE PROMISE, Acts 1: 6-12. The disciples were met together foi what turned out to be the Risen Lord's last appearance. Their minds were occupied, not with dreams of the prom- ised Spirit (v. ), but with dreams c,l a restored national independence. Tha kingdom of God which they had in mind was material, national, and to be won by force. Their Master brushed asiue their questioning about this kingdom. The kingdom he was going to establish would not be a Jewish State, but a spiritual kingdom, not na- tional, but universal. They looked for political power; he promised them, in- stead, a Power different from, and greater than, that of which they were dreaming. That power would come when the Holy Spirit came upon them. That is, when the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit ^f God, which 'is the Spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth, would be in them also when their ideas and atti- tudes and purposes would be in har- mony with his ideas, attitudes, and purposes. Then they would possess, not the political power which they had in mind, but a moral, personal, spi'it- ual power. W ; rh their new vision and driving power they would witness for him in Jerusalem and far beyond the boundaries of Palestine. But they still held inadequate ideas of God and his purposes. They sri'.l lacked tat courage necessary "or witnessing. Therefore, until the illumination came, which would reveal him and his plans more truly, until they could upeak with boldness, they were to wsit in Jerusalem. II. THE PREPARATION, Acts 1: 13, 14. The disciples where were in Jeru- salem kept together. They knew that the time must be close at hand when they must face the world as witnesses for their Lord and his kingdom. They realized now that their old idea of that kingdom was wrong, but they felt themselves inadequate to th proclaiming of th<s new. So, with on* accord they pave themselves to prayer and supplication. "With one accord" they were agreed among themselve*. Prayer-meetings to be effective must be made up of people who are on good terms with each other. An atmosphere of symapthy, unity of mind and pur- pose is essential. Thus agreed, they continued in prayer. They placed themselves, mind and heart, unreserv- edly at God's disposal. They had one overwhelming d.sire; to come to fuller knowledge and to the channels through which God's grace and power could flow. In this mood of expect- ancy and consecration they waited for the fulfilment of the promise. III. THE FULFILMENT, Acts 2: 1-13. God does not fail lives so consecrat- ed and expectant. While the believer* were met for piaytr, they experienced a vision a sound like a mighty rush- ing wind, tongues, not of fire, but iiki fire, lighting upon each one present. To the waiting believers theie were impressive and signilcnnt symbols. They were an assurance that the be- liefs to which th^y had been growing concerning their Lord and his king- dom were true. God was indeed speak- ing to thorn, command'njT them to go forth with his message, assuring them of his sustaining power. The signal to launch the evangelistic movement had been given. The believers' joy expressed itself, first, in that exuberant emotional de- monstration "speaking with ton- gues." This was the confused excla- mation of hearts overflowing with sud- den joy and thankfulness and praise, and which, aa yet, had no "language but a cry." See Acts 10: 44-46; 19: 6; 1 Cor. chap. 14. At first these ecstatic utterances and exclamations were so unrestrained that they at- tracted the attention of passora-by. Soon a crowd gathered citizens of Jerusalem and pilgrims from all parts of the Empire who had come to the Holy City for the Feast of Pentecost "Pentecost moans the feast on the fiftieth day after tho offering of th first sheaf of the first grain crop, bar- ley. At the end of that harvest came the Jewish thanksgiving of Pentecost." Some of them thought they were wit- nessing a drunken orgy. These strange occurrences, however, were but the "externals" of the Pente- costal experience. The essential im- portance of Pentecost lay in the fact that these men and women became vividly conscious of God. Their Master was no longer t'.e abse-nt Jc>sus of Na-nrcth. Ho and God were now, aa 'i * .'ores says, merged in one. That One was universal, spiritual, r-><rnt. Th?y know no'V tht ()...,- v/iTi 1 in harmony with him. They hnd on passion to share him witb other*. v
