Sho's chosen a quick-to-mix pudding.

HERE are times in every household when meals are apt to be edged out of the daily schedule. Perhaps it's spring cleaning time, or mother has to go but, or maybe the painters are in.

Whatever the reason, there are occasions when meals must take up as little time as possible yet atil be nourishing and austaining. For mother knows that there must be no question of scamping meals.

Here are a few save-time recipes which I and always meet with approval.

YOUR FEET

{

N these busy times, with changeable weather an addi- IN

tional factor, our feet are apt to let us down. Often the subject of jest, feet ailments deserve more sympathy than they get.

The range of shoe sizes available being now what it is, there is little excuse for the cause of most complaints-wearing shoes that do not fit and are uncomfortable. But certain troubles are constitutional and require constant attention.

If there is the suspicion of a chilblain paint it with iodine-never if the skin is broken, when boracic ointment should be used and a doctor consulted if it is bad.

Hard patches or callouses on the soles of the feet can be re- moved by rubbing them regularly with a soaped pumice stone. Apply some lanolin to soothe the spot afterwards.

you worth marrying

By A MODERN MAN

THE above query may

seem most impertinent; it is, but I assure you lots of eligible young men are asking themselves this ques- tlon when considering mar- ringe.

I am not one of those “stodgy in the self-reliant, competent old things" who can see no good Miss of the present age. Most of them are amusing to talk to, easy going, and not at all the bad mannered hussies many of their critics make them out to be.

But, speaking from w man's point of view, are they really worth marrying?

We hear quite lot these days about women's changed piaco in the scheme of things-how she in no longer just a decortation, "but man's equal-and lots of other claims of a similar kind.

Modern Girls a Luxury

In reality, I am inclined to think that many modern girls aro much more of à luxury than most Victorian wives, who would never have dreamt of taking on the job of running a home with no real knowledge of how this should be done.

Girls were brought up then to undersland domestic things. They wero taught how to make their own clothes, cook, and look after children.

By no means scientific in management, they wero much more competent than the girl of to-day who spends her grown-up Ilfe, if she requires to earn her own living, in a shop of office.

Recently I overheard a dainty little Miss boasting that she was not Interested in cooking or any other household affairs." As she left, I noticed she was wearing an engagement ring.

It seemed strange, but by no means unusual these days, that a girl who was within a month or two of getting married should be ao little interested in what was going to be her future career.

Yet this girl is the kind of person who drifts through lifo waiting for someone to marry her. Is she worth marrying? When accepting a proposal of marriage, she must have thought it a worth- while offer. Sho had good looks, was well groomed, and beautifully turned out, but what had she to offer as her side of the bargain? Entertaining as the Star Attraction
