It all comes of this feminine passion for dressing-up making a play, refusing-in a life into word-to face facts.

Craving for Adventures.
But these are exceptions; most women enjoy dramatising the most ordinary events till they begin to look like incidents out of an Edgar Wallace play. It is a bit hard on their husbands, who never did care much for charades, and especially not when they are dead tired after a long day's work. Of course, there are excuses for women. For one thing, they are made like that, and

AN APPLE A DAY.
FIG AND APPLE PIE-WITH SAUSAGES-AND A
SPICED DISH.
Apples conjure up all sorts of delicious dainties in which they are the chief Ingredient, from the sim- ple baked apple to the more am- bitions culinary creations which insist upon instant consumption.
This fruit is plentiful and inex pensive, and there is no reason why every housewife should not try ber skill on one or all of the following recipes. The family will rise from the table and call her blessed.
First, let her try fig and apple pie. For this she will require eight cooking apples and fourteen dried figs, the grated rind of half a lemon, three-quarters of a cup of cold water, the same of brown sugar, three tablespoonfuls of but- ter, one tablespoonful of other. shortening. one cup of flour, half A teaspoonful of salt, and water to mix the pastry in the usual way.
With Whipped Cream, Pare, care, and cut the apples into sixteen slices each. Cover the bottom of the dish with one-half of the apples; chop, the figs and place these over them, placing the re- on top of all. maining apples Pour one-half cup of water over the whole, cover, and allow to bake for thirty minutes in, n hot oven. Dissolve the sugar in a quarter cup of water, and pour over the con- tents of the pie dish when the fruit has been removed from the oven. adding the grated lemon rind. Cover with pastry, and return to oven until brown. Serve warm with whipped cream.
A Luncheon Dish. Another way of bringing "apples into the menu is to pare and cut in small pieces six cooking apples." Take six bananas and do the same with them. Put the apples and bananas in a baking pan not too shallow, and over this mixture. stirred well together, place pitk sausages which have been cut ht ap, with skin side uppermost.
Enough sausages should be used
to allow them to overlap, as the heat of the oven causes them to shrivel. Se in a moderate oven," and bake for thirty minutes.
Raisins and Spice.
As a variation for another day, take six large, juicy apples, pre- ferably a little tort: pare and core them, and place in a buttered bak- ing dish, leaving ample space for jnice.
Fill the holes left after removing the cares with a little sugar, tiny pieces of butter, a few raisins and a segment of orange, sprinkling a little nutmeg and cinnamon over each apple.
Into warm not hot-water, suffi cient to fill the dish one inch, put three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a teaspoonful of vanilla, and half a teaspoonful of almond essence.
Pour this around the apples, being careful not to disturb the sugar coating on them. Add to the raisina, liquid in the dish more. segments of orange, lemon peel, a little butter, nutmeg, and cinna mon.
The skull cap and nose veil combined.
Meringue. "Bake in a moderate oven until the fruit is cooked, busting fre- quently. When the fruit is done the syrup should be cooked down to a rich consistency.
Prepare a meringue by whipping together the white of one egg, B. -tablespoonful of icing sugar, and
the grated rind of one lemon.
Spread the mixture lightly.over the apples which have been-removed from the oven, and return the dish long enough to set the eggs but not to brown the meringue, since

There are few things more fas- cinating to most women than pot- tering about with a paint brush. A touch of paint here and there freshens things up wonderfully, the bathroom taps may require re- enamelling, or the floors, where most of the tread falls, demand res-1 taining.
