••â- I \ Woman's World By Mair M. Morgan Around this time <:>t the year hot diiihes full of spice and tang are al- •vvTjya very well received by most mem- bers of tfie family. Here Is a new re- cipe for those who like their curry. The Ingredients â€" 2 tablespoons chut- ney, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 2 onions, 1 apple, 1 tablespoon golden eyrup, 1 teaspoon salt, Vi cup sultana raisins, 2 cupe stock, salad oil and cold cooked meat, such as rabbit or chicken cut Into dice. Slice the onions thinly and cook until brown in tJie ealad oil, add the chopped apple and the other ingredients. Simmer gently tor 3 hours, then serve with boiled rice. Chinese Onion Omelet This is a tasty variation of the ever popular omelet. Ingredients â€" 3 cups chopped raw onion, '^4 cup salad oil, 1-S teaspoon pepper, *4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons golden syrup, 3 table- spoons corn starch, 4 eggs. Cook the onion with the salad oil and' syrup un- til yellow and tender, stirring often. Add the pepper, the salt and the corn starch. Pour the onion mixture into the well-beaten eggs and fry by spoon- ful, like pancakes, in a slightly oiled pan. Use salad oil tor the frying-pan or griddle. White Fruit Cake The proof of a good cake is in the eating and the rapidity with which it disappears. Try the following. â€" In- gredients: 1 pound white sultana rais- ins, Vi pound candied or preserved pineapple, 1 cup salad oil, ^ cup corn syrup. % teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon salt.'i; cup shredded citron peel, 1 cup chopped, blanched almonds, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 egg whites. Cream the salad oil and sugar and add syrup with lemon juice. Sitt flour with salt, soda and cream of tartar. Alternate sifted dr>- in- gredients with the stiffly beaten whites of eggs and then stir in the fruits and nuts which have been waslj- ed, dried and rolled in flour. Steam the cake for 4 hours and then bake in a slow oven for half an hour. Many cooks add the prepared fruit to the mixed dry ingredients in the sifter and simply sift the flour into the hat- ter, adding the fruit at the end. Winter Salads Although wlntfer time brings us a wealth of fruits and vegetables with which to compose salads, we are prone to drop into a rut and serve head lettuce with a dressing for meal after meal. A crisp salad accompanying a meal composed of hearty winter foods â- brings with it more than just its ap- peal of color and taste. It also brings in such a pleasant way the health-giv- ing minerals and vitamins which we ai'e constantly striving to get into our meals. The following salads are very Inex- pensive but are inviting and easy to make. Cabbage and Raisin Salad Two cups finely shredded cabbage. 2 red apples, \^ cup seedless raisins, 1 teaspoon sugar, y^ teaspoon salt, 1-S teaspoon pepper, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 tablespoons salad oil. Mis sugar, salt and pepper with lemon juice. Slowly add oil, beating it in with a fork or a beater. Beat until smooth. Wash apples, cut into quarters and remove cores. Cut in dicQ without peeling and drop at once into the dressing to prevent discolora- tion. Add cabbage and raisins and toss lightly with a fork until thorough- ly blended. Serves four to six per- sons. Baked Beans and Bacon This makes a hearty dish for a family luncheon. Two cups baked beans, 4 thin slices of bacon, 4 tablesixwns minced sour pickle, 1-3 cup tomato catsup, French dressing. If beans are not dry, drain thorough- ly. Cook bacon until crisp and cut in small dice. Combine beaus, bacon and pickle with catsup and serve on a ted of crisp curly endive. Pass French dressing. Serves tour. Lima Beant and Celery Another nourishing salad for win- j Sunday School \ Lesson ler luncheons en famille Is found in lima bean and celery salad. Two cups lima beans (eanned or carefully cooked dried ones), 1 cup diced celery, 1 tablespoon minced onion, 2 tablespoons shredded green pepper, 2 tablespoons grated cheese. French dressing. The green pepper, of course, may be omitted, but it gives a pleasing touch of color. A vivid yellow cheese is attractive, too, if available. Mix beans, celery, onion and pep- per, tossing lightly to avoid crushing beans. Pour on French dressing and arrange on crisp romaine. GarniA with grated cheese and serve more French dressing in a separate sauce boat. A good raw vegetable salad uses equal parts of minced green pepper, finely shredded cabbage and grated raw carrot. Each vegetable is mixed with enough mayonnaise to bind, and they are then arranged in layers on a lettuce leaf, making the last layer of pepper. Serve with a French dress- ing to which 4 tablespoons catsup have been added. Parsnip Patty Cakes Six parsnips. Vi teaspoon salt, 1-S teaspoon white pepper, 1 teaspoon sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, cracker crumbs, 1 egg. Boil i)arsnips in slightly salted boil- ing water. When tender drain and plunge into cold water. Slip skins. Mash and season with salt, pepper, sugar and butter. Make into small flat cakes and roll in cracker crumbs. Dip in egg slightly beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water and roll again in crumbs. Saute in butter and bacon fat until a delicata brown. Squash Croquettes This is an excellent way to serve squash when the cook has spent an ai'lernoon away from the house. All the preparation except the deep fat frying may be done eaxlier in the day. One medium sized squash. 1 cup nut meats, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 table- spoons cream. ^ teaspoon salt. 1-S teaspoon pepper. 1 egg, dried bread crumbs. Cut squash in halves and scrape out seeds. Bake until tender. Scrape from shell and rub pulp through a ricer. Mix with butter, salt, pepper, nuts and cream to make moist enough to handle. Form into small balls and let stand until cold and firm. Roll in crumbs, dip in egg slightly beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water and roll again in crumbs. Fry three minutes in deep hot fat and drain on crumbled paper. The fat should be hot enough to brown an inch cube of bread in 40 seconds or 3S5 degrees F. Meat in Cabbage Leaves Take some cabbage leaves and boil them lor five miuutes in salted water; theu take them out and drain them. Now make a mixture of minced cold meat, chopped onion, two tablespoons chopped suet, salt, pepper, and a pinch of allspice. Shape the mixture, moist- ening it if necessary with a little stock or gravy, into pieces about the size of an egg, and wrap each in a cabbage leaf. Tie these up and ar- range them as closely as possible in a long fireproof dish, cover them with stock or gravy and with a piece of buttered paper and cook them in the oven for halt an hour or so. If preferred, they could be braised on a bed of vegetables, but in this case it would be better to use raw meat. Year's Taxes Omitted By Village in Virginia Hamilton, Va.^ â€" Cities ha%nng trou- ble with their municipal financing might take a few lessons from the village of Haaiilton. Last year citizens paid no town ta.xes. Costs of sidewalks, electric lights and other a unicipal expens«si were paid out of a surplus built up by the council for that purose. If there's any destitution among the 500 re.-ii- dents of tho community, it's kept quiet. No help has been asked from any relief agency. Town taxes will be collected this year, but the rate is only 35c per |100 valuation of pro- perty. Lesion VIII. â€" February 25. â€" The Twelve Sent Forth â€" Matt. 9:35â€" 10:8; 10:32, 33. Golden Text.â€" The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are ^ew. Pray y« therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.â€" Matt, 9:37, 38. TI.MEâ€" Winter of .A..D. 29, the be- ^nning of the third year of Christ's m.inistry. PLACEâ€" Galilee. PARALLEL PAS.SAGES â€" Mark 6: 6-13; Luke 9: 1-6. "And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages." Galilee was a very populous province, crowded with cities and villages. "Teaching in their syn- agogues." All of which would be open to him, the synagogue "rulers," or committee of lay managers, gladly in- viting the distinguished visitor to speak his message. "And preaching the gospel of the kingdom." The good news that the reigii of God had been set up on the earth. "And healing all manner of disease and all m.anner of sickness." Our Lord was no special- ist, Confining himself to one form of human misery. All bodily â- wretched- ness met his ready sympathy and his all-powerful healing. "But when he saw the multitudes." He was always attended by a crowd. "He was moved with compassion lor them." Compassion is a com'T-raiicn of sorrow, sympathy and love. "Be- cause they were distressed and scat- tered, as sheep not having a shep- herd." The Jews of Christ's time were led by religious teachers whose only gospel was dead formalism. The Good Shepherd grieved when he saw his sheep left to the wolves. "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few." It is the love of Christ and the love of men that alone can send us out to gamer souls for him. "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest." It is only in the spirit of prayer, the spirit of commun- ion 'with Christ, that we can really join in this w>rk and get others to join in it. "And he calleil ur.to him his twelve disciples." Twelve, in thought of the twelve tribes of Israel. Disciples means learners; apostles, as they were called when evangelizing, means men sent forth. "And gave them author- ity over unclean spirits, to cast them out." Named first among their low- ers of miracle-working, as dealing with the mysterious agencies of Satan, then especially violent and prevalent in the world. "And to heal all man- ner of disease and all manner of sick- ness." We have in the Gospels only glimpses of this healing power of tho Twelve, for the four evangelists were wholly occupied with setting forth the supreme character and life of the Saviour; we sej more of it in the Acts, after the Lord had left them to work alone. "NoiV\ the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter." He was a fish- erman of Bethsaida, then living in Capernaum. "And .\ndrew his bro- ther." Both Andrew and Peter were sons of a John or Jonah, probably dead at this time. Andrew had one specialty. He was an expert in the irentle art of bringing other people to Jesus. "James the son of Zebedee." Also a fi.?herman, as were all of the fii-st four named; for Christ found his helpers among the poor and lowly, being poor and humble himself. ".-Vnd John his brother." The writer of the gi-eatest book in tiie world, the Fourth Gospel. He referred to himself in hii Gospel only ..s the disciple whom Jesus loved. Tradition says that John was the youngest of the Twelve. "Philip." This apostle is seldom mentioned, but he was the one who found Xathanael and led him to Jesus. "And Bartholomew." The son of Tol- mai. He was manifestly a devout Jew, ;^ student of the written Word, a man c. thoughtful disposition and prayer- ful habits. "Thomas." He does no' deserve to be called doubting Thomas in tho usual sens<.- of the phrase; he was desponding, slow to believe what he ardently desired (as he had been ready to believe the worst, John 11: lG),"but when ^o:ivinced. uttering the noblest Cv>nfession in the Gospels, John 20: 28. ".A.nd Matthew the publican." lyevi the tax-gatherer for the Romans, th. writer of the (jospei we are study- ing, whose conversion and great feast we have already discussed this quar- ter. "James the son of Alphseus. ' Janie.^ the Less, as he is often called. ".\nd Thaddseus." Probably the same as the lycbba?us tnd Jude of the other lists, and probably tho writer of the Epistle of Jude. "Simon the Cai?iisean." The C.m- .iiia'a'i.. or Zealot â-  were a party of fierre Jewish nationaliita, bitterly hating the R^mians and striving to throw off their yoke. ".A.nd Judas iscariot, who also betrayed him.' Jud;i& of Kerioth in Judah, the only disciple, probably, who was not a Galilean. Jesus said of him the most terrible thing that could be said of any man â€" "It had I)een good for that man if he had not been bom." "These twelve Jesus sent forth." They were promoted by that act from discipleship to apostleship. "KnA ci.arged them, saying. Go not into any ay of the Gentiles." They were not, for instance, to turn northward to Syria, pi^eaching i.. Tyre and Sidon. The time was .lot ripe for it and they were nut experienced enough. "And enter not into any cicy of the Samar- itans." Not because Christ shared the common Jewish antipathy to the h:Ji-foreign people who inhabited cen- tral Palestine, -or we know he was far from this, and Samaria was expressly included in the apoetoiic field by Christ's tinal instructions (.^cta 1:8); but Galilee would be all they could manage at the time. "But go rather to the lost sheep of the 'aouse of Israel." Thoug'h lost, they could meet easily be reclaimed. ".\nd as we ^o, preach, saying. The kingdom of heaven is at hand." By the kingdom <.f heaven our Lord meant the reign of universal right- eousness, love and peace, which he came to earth to establish. "Heal the sick, raise the dead, ckanse the lepers, cast out demons." Christ gave them his own superna- tural power, which tJiey were to use as proof that they were from the Mossiah. "Freely ye received, freely give." This ioes not mean that any of the Twelve had been miraculously healed. It means that the power to heal was given them for nothing, and that they must not take paj-ment for healing. "Every one therefore who shall con- fess me "before men." Discipleship in the service and kingdom of Jesus Christ asks a men to profess nothing about himself. But it does ask him to confess a grtat deal about the name, the law, and service of bis Mas ter. "Him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven." What an eternal joy if one can hear Christ say on the great day of judgmeat. "fills soul is mine forever." "But whosoever shall deny me be- fore men." By repudiating Christ's spiritual authoritj-, by denying his di- vine Sonship, by refusing to accept the atonement he made for sin, by li\-ing a life contrarj- to his teachings. "Him will I also deny before my Father who is In heaven." Tbis is no threat, no angry condem.^ation, it is the sorrowful assertion of an inevit- able consequence. All-Occasions Dress By HELEN WILLIAMS, lUuitrated Drea»makin.g Le$*un Fur- nithed With Evry Pattern Husband Not Forced To Pay Rent to Wife Ever Did Any Male Judge Frown on a Wife's Generosity? New York. â€" Justice Henry G. Wen- zel, Jr., denied in the Supreme Court, Queens, an application by Alvin M. Dunham, receiver of rents for a dwel- ling, for an order directing Ralph Ri- cardi, whose wife owtis the property, to pay $150 a month rent for the house. "The house in which a maai and wife live," said Justice Weiizel. "is. in addition to being a dwelling, a home. The house may belong to either bu,t as long as love and amity pre- vail, the house belongs to both. "I am quite awai-e that a similar motion has been granted by one of my learned brothers whose opinions are worthy of the deepest considera- tion. His determination of the matter rested upon the duty of the husband to provide food and shelter for his wife. This has been a natural law since the cave man seized a wife and carried her to his cave. In these en- lightened days many wives furnish shelter for their husbands, and where they have the means and inclination to do so the law d<.>es not frown upon their generosity.'' Blind Niece of Truro • Woman in Movies Mrs. A. S. Murphy, of Truix", N.S. has received word that her niece, pretty Mary Flinn, aged 23, of Pres- cott, Arizona, blind siiK-e she was twj years of age, has gone to Pasadena California, where she has an import- ant ivle in a theatrical production now being rehearsed in which the en- tire cast of seven is sightless. Her selection as a member of the unique cast followed a reply to a newspajvr advertisement for "the prettiest blind girl in California who docs not wear glasses." It's an exceedingly simple littie modelâ€" a moulded bodice with draped neck and a straight skirt. Inverted plaits at the front lend ample freedom to the hem. The panel etfect wU! give you that smart height you want so much. .A.nd aren't the sleeves intei-est- ing? Today's pattern is generally becom- ing. It is equally lovely carried out in siilk or lightweight woolen. Huckleberry blue rough crepe silk inspired the original model. Style No. 3'271 is designed for sizes 14. 16, IS, 20 years, 36, 38 and 40 inches bust. Size 16 requires 3*5 yards of 39- inch nvateriai. HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS. Write your name and address plain- ly, giving number and size of such patterns as you want. Enclose 15c in stamps or coin (coin preferred; wrap it carefully) for each number, and address your order to Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West .Adelaide St., Toronto. Grouchiness In Families Call the Members of Your Household Together for a Council and Discuss the State of AiSaiira M«jmbers of ilie avera^u family aren't always nice to each other. Sa often it happeiui that father, mothei and children seem to be vaiting tern someone's hat to drop, or the chip Oi fall oil a shoulder, or the fat lo ]uini Into the Are. This habit of 6rouchin«*s in lamt lies grows so subtly and so swiftly that no cm* iuspects it.

Wealth, culture, or social pogitioa .makes little difference. The familj in which the habit ot quarreling tiat taken root will go about it in its ow« way. One may go into a house a«. quietly serene, seemingly, as a dewj del! on a May morning yet feel iw stanlly the brittle strain of unfriend- liness in every word and gesture. This irritability and impatience it growing rapidly in a numbe.' of home*. It was almost inevitable for this t€ happen as individual interests har« drifted apart with the years.
