your Nerves are all on edge
THE busy mother only too
frequently suffers from wom
and ragged nerves. There is so much to do—with so many interruptions:" The children, if they are healthy, are so full of energy and make such a deal of noise.
Your nerves become strained under the pressure of household duties because the wastage of the nerve cells is not made good by sufficient' restorative nourishment.
"Ovaltine" supplies that restorative material in a concentrated and easily digested form. This delicious beverage is prepared from malt, milk and eggs-Nature's foods which are richest in nourishment. Instead of tea, coffee, etc., drink "Ovaltine" at breakfast, in the middle of the morning, and again before retiring. A rich reserve of vitality and energy will be created.

When Food Makes No Appeal
A failing appetite is one of Nature's danger signals. It is a warning that all is not well with your digestion-that your system is not freeing itself punctually and thorough- ly of its daily waste. It is this condition which Eno's "Fruit Sait" corrects.
Eno simply flushes and effectively cleanses the whole intestinal tract and so prevents the inner sluggishness which leads to poor appetite and indigestion. That is why Eno first thing every morning will stimulate your keenness for meal times and enable you to enjoy every morsel of your food.

"PARASITE" WIVES.! TAFFETAS AND NET.
MODERN MARRIAGE
DISSECTED.
Many men to-day phrink from matrimony because of the way in which childless and idle wives parade their husbands in public, extract the utmost fruit from their work, and give nothing in return. This startling thesis is advanced by Dr. Will Durant, an American philosopher; in "The Mansions of Philosophy" (Ernest Dean, Ltd... 238.), a book which deals with mo- dera problems in a fraak and pro- vocative manner.
Dr. Durant roams through all popular philosophies in 700 pages. "One of the favourite butts of his eynical observation is the "parasite woman who is idle in band, head
and heart." He contends that she is bringing marriage into disre- pute.
"I women wait to-day as never before to have marriage offered them," he writes, "it is in large measure the fault of this parasitic
class. For such a woman offers to her husband very little that he might not just as well secure by short-term investments properly diversified.
Bachelors' View. "Under these circumstances, marriage, to a critical bachelor, ap- pears not as the fullling goal of 2 mature man, but as a civilising and long-drawn-out rendition of a thème dear to Nature in the in- sect world, where the female eats the male, as likely as not, while he is absorbed in the entanglements of love.
A
No wonder that men, seeing the atter unproductiveness of these ladies of the afternoon, inke to their heels at the thought of the golden boads of matrimony. million women waste away in lone- liness because a million wives, hav- ing caught their prey, devour it so publicly, that all bunted souls) retreat into a baccalaureate soli- tude. Here, and not in the bobbed hair or shortened skirts of active youth, lie the immoral monstrosity of our time."
He deseribes the breakdown of marriage:-
If they are poor, the man "re- grets the burdens 'he has nasumed. If they are rich, quarrels about money begin as soon as the delirium of love ubsides. If they are mo- dern, they play at equality: and a tug-of-war ensues till one or the other has established an irritating mastery:
Friends and Jealousy."
"If the woman works, she resents her continned slavery; if she is idle, time hangs heavy on her hands un- til Satar finds something for them to do. If either has friends, the other is jealous of them; if neither has friends, the two are forced back upon themselves into an inescapable) intimacy too dionotonous to be borne.
"The woman finds herself chang- ed from a goddess into a cook un- less, perchance, she has found one of those gentle husbands who change a cook into a goddess. She observes that his attentions become less frequent and thoughtful, that he makes love, if at all, with ab- sent-minded punctuality. He lacks the imagination to see his wife as a stranger secs her, or to see a stranger's wife as she will appear at nine oclock the next morning. Add childlessness or idleness on the part of the woman' and she, too, begins to hunger for some un- familiar face or scene that way restore the charming Batteries of desire.
FOR AFTERNOON AND EVENING WEAR.
Here are a few smart little frocks chosen at random from the ward- robes of "Eve." First for after- noon. There is an attractive dress with a two piece effect of black antin and mimos yellow crepe de chine. The satin is used for the skirt and open coat, the creze de chine for the jumper front. The coat has cuffs of the yellow mate- rial, and the cut of the dress is good. Such froek would carry you through any afternoon Iunction or might be used for restaurant wear. A little more definitely for evening, if you do not like the coat effect of the first frock for that. purpose, is a dress of, blonde laco with a cleverly eut circular skirt with encrusted godet bands of georgette in a slightly deeper shade. The graceful deep wing euffs of the sleeves are also of georgette. Aa- other practical and charming frock is carried out in flowered" ninon printed in nasturtium shades. It has sleeves and is distinguished by a well shaped umbrella skirt.

LEGAL RIGHT TO RECOVER

On children: "It is remarkable how marriage withers when chil- dren stay away, and how it blos soms when they come. The woman, finds in the midst of turmoil, trouble, worry, and pain a strange content that is like a quiet ecstasy each other money or other property "Husband and wife can lend never in her idleness and luxury and recover it again by ordinary was she as happy as in these tasks legal process, but should the money and obligations that develop and be lent for business purposes, as complete her even while seeming to opposed to private purposes, and sacrifice her to the race.

Middle age, says the author, be gins with marriage-"A married man is already five years older the next day and a married woman, too; work and responsibility re- place care-free play, passion sur renders to the limitations of social order, and poetry yields to prose." Mr. Durant relents at times, "Yet with all her ailments," he says, "the woman of our. time re mains sufficiently beautiful to make philosophers grow dizzy as she passes by. Once a woman of forty Was old, decrepit, and trust- worthy; to-day there is nothing se dangerous."
"When a husband allows his wife. with whom he is living, money for housekeeping, any saving she may effect is done as his agent, and the savings belong to him and not to. the wife.'
Property Points.
These are two extracts from Mr. G. F. Emery's book," The Law of Husband and Wife" (Effingham Wilson); which, after thirty years, has been issued in a fresh edition. Mr. Emery points out
It has been held that a hushand has no right to use physical force to keep his wife at home or to compel her to live with him, but (Continued at foot of next column)

CHOICE CHUTNEYS. Appetising whiffs, greet the caller at most Canadian homes in the golden days of September, for the thrifty housewife is busy conserving and pickling the fruits and veget ables of autuma in preparation for the long hard winter to come.
A favourite way of using wind falls of crab-apples is, add one pound of raisins, seeded and chop- ped, and a pint of cider vinegar to every six pounds of crab-apples, cored and chopped.
Cook until soft, and bout ten minutes after removal from the fire add the grated rind and juice of two oranges and á teaspoonful each of cinnamon and ground cloves.
"
If ordinary cooking apples are preferred to the smaller Fruit, delicious chutney can be made from one and one-half pounds apples, one pound onions, and one- half pound raisins, all chopped fine- ly. Cover with two quarts of vine gar and boil for two hours.
When removed from the fire, pour into a bowl and add one pound Demerara sugar, one-quarter pound ground ginger, one and one-half teaspoonfula cayenne pepper, one- half pound mustard seed, and half a teaspoonful salt. Mix all together and put into jars when cold.
Vegetable marrow chutney is as delectable as it is novel. Peel the marrow and cut into small pieces,
removing the seeds. Sprinkle with
salt; leave for twenty-four hours, and then drain through a colander.
To three pounds of this prepared marrow allow one quart vinegar, one-half ounce mustard, one-half ounce turmeric, one-quarter pound sugar, "one or two onions, six cloves and one ounce whole ginger.
Mix the mustard and turmeric to & amooth paste with a little of the vinegar. Put the remainder of the vinegar into a pan with the sugar, the onions (finely shredded), and the cloves and ginger tied in muslin.
Bring to a boil, and after boiling quickly for ten minutes add the marrow and cook until soft and thick. Remove the spice, stiz' in the mustard and turmeric, and cook until thoroughly blended.
If desired chopped apples and raisins may be added to this chut- ney,
Parliament has given the court unlimited power over the property. of a wife who, without good cause, refuses to live with her husband, or who has been divorced by rea- son of her adultery. Thus, where ! a wife has property she can he put under financial pressure, to ensure good behaviour.
He points out that making the joint incomes of husband and wife the basis for taxation has curious effects on morality, since by living together without marriage the in- creased taxation is avoided.
