For instance, the other day 'a I got word from a local mail-order P^ office that an express parcel was /V there waiting for us. "Express?" I »aid in surprise. "I don't remem- ber ordering anything." "Didn't you order a sun-cot a few weeks ago?" the sales cleric an- •wered. "And didn't they say they were sold out but would fill your order with their next shipment?" A »un-cot? â€" VVhy, yes, so I did. • . That was when the thermom- T «ter was hovering around the eighty /-* mark, A sun-cot would have been â€" ^ -welcome then. But now, with the ^daytime high not much over fifty, «nd I cold wind blowing ... the »un-cot had arriyedl So you see â- ^ why I laughed. However, there is T * chance it may get hot and humid A, again, so we accepted delivery of t^ the iun-cot â€" and it does give one ^ a sort of warm feeling just to look at it and visualize a time when •omething like that may be very welcome â€" if only one can find leisure to 6se it. Inclination will not b« hard to find, but leisure â€" that's another story. We have had several httle show- «ri during this last week, but still there ii no growth â€" except in the Srain fields. How the wheat and oats keep growing i* a mystery. It won't be long before the wheat is oat in head, but the hay and pasture â€" we ire almost afraid to look at them. Partner finally turned the •ows out but they will make short work of the grass in the field where they arc pastured. Ai for the gar- den, everything is standing still â€" •nd I did want a good garden for the folk we arc looking forward to aa visitors to us this summer. Speaking of visitors â€" we were â- ot expecting any more for another two weeks so I was making use of the interval to fix up another bed- room especially as to work was the oaly way to keep warm â€" it seemed too warm with the furnace going, and too cold without it. So I was busy at this room. ... I had got the wdrst part done and was paint- ing the furniture, and of course the npstairs was anything but tidy â€" •cept for the little spare room. Then came Sunday morning â€" a * taxi; dogs barking: doorbell ring- ^ lag â€" and there on the doorstep ^ was Partner's brother from Ot- A tawa, come to stay until Monday. A Later we had another gentleman ^"visitor, ust for dinner. But I didn't . mind â€" when a woman is alone men are much easier to have '' around. They gang up together '^ and one doesn't have to worry â€" '^ MSt so long as there is enough food A.in the house to make a few good /^meals. My brother-in-law wasn't ^at all bothered because there were 0, boxes, rugs and who knows what . piled up in the hall belonging to â- A the room that was in the process ^ of being redecorated. ^ And by the way, in that same * bedroom I was doing some more y- axperimenting with roller painting; ♦ and this time I was making a much Av b«tttr job of it. Yes, in spite of the 9- iact that I quit in the middle of A things and went to Gu«lph. Walls ^ will wait but invitations won't! ^ How would you like to know the .' Ingredients of that water paint 1 *- Ju»t let a few drops dry on the K focr and even a scraper won't lift ^ them. I • think the mixture must pjvutXy be some kind of plaster of ^ ^ris. I wonder what experience ♦ > A. otiiers have had in roller paintingf The first time I smeared ceiling paint on the walls and wall paint on the ceiling by trying to get too close to the edges with the roller. Next time I did the edges first, using a brush for the purpose. But that wasn't too satisfactory either.* So this time I just went ahead with the roller and finished up with a brush. That seemed to work better, ' although a bona fide painter told me that painters usually finish up as they go. But then I'm not a painter â€" so, being just an amateur I have to learn the hard way and do w hichever brings the best results. .^nd here's a hint that may help someone â€" although it is more than likely your may have had the same bright idea yourself â€" but just in case you haven't. . . . For an inexpensive border buy a roll of paper with a flowered strip running through it. Cut out your strip â€" or strips â€" and there's your border. Stripes or conventional designs look very, well too, but for plain painted walls a flowered border seems to give it colour and finsh. Another idea â€" if you like tinted ceiling take a quart of white paint ai!d mix with it a pint of whatever colour you intend doing your walls. The result is rather pleasing â€" inci- dentally any accidental smears don't show up as plainly. Or am I the only one who gets paint where it shouldn't be, 'Bye for now . , . it's back to the paint-pots for me. And I think until I'm finished I'll put a quarantine notice on the door.

New addition to the already-large and ever-growing list of book.- on cookery is the recently published "Secrets of SouBern Cooking" by Ethel Fanner Hunter. It's publ- ished in New York anil I'm rn certain if it's aTailable here ia Canada as yet. Besides many interesting recipes, Mrs, Hunter gives many valuable hints. Unc oi these is along the lines of something I wrote a column or so ago. "Never "cheat' on a recipe" the author cautions, "if you expect perfect results, use neither too little or too much. " Cake making rules must be re- spected. For uniform browning, Mrs. Hunter notes, layer cake pans should be so placed in the uven that they do not touch each other, nor the o\ ell wal -s. A cake is baked, she explains, when it begins leaving the sides of the pan. And here's a recipe borrowed from the book, which I think you will find both different and very enjoyable too. It's , Atlanta Bachelor's Spaghetti. 2 cans of spaghetti, with tomato and cheese sauce 1 large Bermuda onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon butter 1 No. 2 can tomatoes 2 tablespoons Parmesan ch««e« 5-2 pound ground steak 1 teaspoon salt 5^4 teaspoon red pepper 1 bay leaf y^ pound snappy eheese, aliced Method â€" Place spaghetti with tomato and cheese sauce in casser- ole. Slightly brown chopped onion and green pepper in butter. .-Vdd to- niati'c-. Parmesan cheese, ground steak and seasonings. Cook mixture lor about 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Four sauce over spaghetti and cover with slicss of afaecse. Balte in o5U- degree oven for 45 to 00 min- ates. .\mong Ontario fauiiUct of Gar- man descent a favorite dish has always been potato pancake*. They're quite different irom the Norwegian kind, in which mashed cooked potatoes arc used. Ia these you start with raw, grated ipuus, which -mparts a really distinctiye potato tasts. Potato Pancakes 6 large raw potatoes, grated 2 eggs, shghtly beaten 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons flour 5^ teaspoon baking powder yi cup cream Method â€" Vary the amount of flour, depending upon whether you like a thick or thin batter. Some add a little sugar, to make the cakes browner. Cook as you would any other sort of pancakes. From 'way over in Nebraska conies this next one â€" a "<iuick bread" recipe which makes a 3% by 10;/i loaf with a flavor all its own. .\ny other kind of chopped nuts can replace the walnuts â€" or you can leave them out altogether of you prefer.
