CEity. Ono fecls shc would llke to hav:
tei palra of eycs so as to sco ovcry
Ihlng, tcn uairs of oars so as to hcar
cvorything. When I slt down at
tablo bcsldc an Amcrican woman of
Parls, sho lmmcdlately nska me:
'Havc you sccn such and such a play?
Have you bccn to such and such an
pvt oxhibltlon? What do you thlnk of
tbls novel or of that book recently
publlshed?' And I am forced to admlt
that I havc not sccn thc latcst play,
that for- morc than ten years I havo
not set my foot lnslde tho annual
'salons' that I read slowly and carc
lly, and am thercforo forccd to
Pad but few books. And I know my
Amcrican nelghbor hns grcat dis
datn for my lnculturc. I havo lnflnlte
sympathy for her charmlng and uni-
versal intellectual curlostty, only long
p.vnnrlence has taucht mc that man's
hoad cannot contaln too many ldeas
-
ai oncc.
"There ls, consequently, an abys9
hctwecn tho way most Amcrican
womcn I havo met concelvc Intellect
ual culturo and my own way. Far
from me to pretend that I am rlght.
But lf I had tho honor of belng pro
fcssor of Frcnch to young Amcrican
girls, I would bcgln wlth thc follow
lng truthful anecdote:
"A compatriot of thelrs, speaklng
to the poet, Francois Coppce, asked,
'Do you speak Englsh, Monsicur?'
And ho answcred, modestly, Non,
Mndame, I am stlll learnlng Frcnch'."
There ls Just a touch of concclt ln
Monslcur Prevost's laudatlon of hls
cvtn way, thc laudatlon bclng all the
morc palnfully apparent for hls at
tempt to vell lt wlth the self-depreci-atory,
"Far be lt from mo to pretend
that I am rlght." But, serlously, ho
speaks truth when ho Intlmates that
many women aro surfaco cultured
and, therefore, their intellectuallty ls
shallow and feeble for lack of nour
lahment. It is an alarming tendency
of tho ambitlous society woman and,
of other women, who deslre to know
many things, to skim ovcr thc sur
face of the toplcs of yesterday and
today and tomorrow, extracting a
morsel of knowlcdge here and one
there, passlng on to the next "latest
thing" beforo they have firmly grasp
od the idea of the last. A woman of
that klrid Is not'a pleasant companlo'n
for the thoughtful or serious man or
woman who lives for a purpose. She
is a spfcnnid master of the art of
"small talk," an art whlch has cour
tesy behlnd it, now and then, in
conceallng, among the great njass of
fllppant utteranccs of the ton&ue, the
scantincss of intellect wlth whlch
souie of the occupants of tho draw
ing room havc bcen endowcd, but you
cannot pin her down on any subject
in whlch you are interested and of
whlch you woud caro to know more.
She never trusts you to open the
conversation. Sho scans her mental
list of cliglble toplcs and beglns,
"Don't yoji dote on Browning? Wo hau
a Browning olub at homo and " You
listen patiently and then inqulre what
she thlnks the poet meant when he
sald thus and so. Shc looks at you
blankly. "0," she says, "I don't Just
recall that quotation, you know, but
I was speaklng of the general char
ncteristics of hlo works." And one
has to bo satisflcd with that from the
disciplc of ono who said, "Better have
falled in tho hlgh alm, as I, than
vulgarly ln tho low alm succecd, As,
God be thanked, I do not," a quota
tion whlch shc credited to Words
worth, by tho way, earlier ln tho con
versation. But sho is not daunted.
"I seo that dlsagreeablo Balllnger
and Pinchot controversy has becn
settled," she says, conveylng the lm
presslon that sho Is "up" on polltlcs,
also you Intlmato that thero may bo
other dovelopments whlch were born
ol this problem and . ask her whlch
slde sho favored.
"O, you know," she smilcs, "I only
read tho headlines and I really don't
rcmcmber what they quarreled
about." Shades of knowledge.
And yesterday sho lnformed mo that
Mlss So-and-So was a dreadfully "un-
culturcd person. ' A good creaturo

My Browning friend ls not cul

And I would suEgest to evi" mnn

ually and moraUy cuturcd to cxtract
at east onc toplc from tho, assort
lncnt of small talk and dlgcst that

nerves so repcatedly by quotlng varl
ous blts of wlsdom and crcdlHng

ls morc unjust to tho poet hlmself,
nothing morc grating upon tho nerves
of thellterary man or woman who
knows whcreof ho spcaks, than to
hcar sonio surface sklmmcr nttempt
to analy.o or crltlclzo a passage
whlch ho inlslnterprets through ignor-
ance of tho subject. And If one con
verses wlth n poct or an author or
a muslclan or an artlst or a sdentist
of achlevement, lt woud be the part
of wlsdom not to seek to dlsplay
one's owu knowlcdgc of the sub-
Ject but to listen, intelllgently. Good
listencrs aro at a premlum. If you
cannot draw your acqualntanco out,
talk about somethlng of whlch you
are sure. Tho klnd of culturo that
won't bcar soundlng isn't culture at
all. It's hypocrisy. And that is what
the common person whom the falsely
cultured term "a creaturo" or "a per
son" east upon society. It Is shallow
he says, a hollow mockery, valn pre
tense. It judges man by hls ralnmcnt
instead of his attalnmeat. You can't
corner lt and makc it talk your flll of
things worth whlle. It chatters llke
a monkey or a parrot and wisdom Is
frowned upon or serious subjccts
whlch confront cvery man and wo
man for solution, aro glanced at and
waved aside. There ls lnjustlcc In
that argument but there ls also
mountains of truth.
Surface culture is decayed at thc
corc, but true, honest culture may bo
found, oftimcs, as the thinkers of all
tlmes have polntcd out, in overalls
and jumpers or in kitchen dresses, lu
the shops, behlnd tho countcrs, nest
llng in tho words of the ungrammal
ical as often as in the speech of the
professor, lt is, moreover, truc that
culture is not only of books and
muslc and art r.nd knowledge, but of
kindllness of heart, and virtuo, and
sympathy.
There is a world ot meaning In
that Coppee utterance whlch Monsl
cur Prevost tells about.
"Do you speak English, Monsi-
eur?
"Non, Madamc, I am stlll learnlng
French."
An exchange says:
Probably nothing puzzlcs thc
young and lnexpcrlenced house
keeper so 111 uch as to know what to
do wlth the remnants. Thero wlll
often bo left on the table a blt of
mcat that doesn't seem largo enough
for any practlcal purpose, and yet it
is so nlce that her conscience won't
or shouldn't let her throw it away.
What can be dbne with lt?
Well, thero aro ways in plenty. A
certain young housekeeper ono dny
evolved a partlcularly nlce aish out
of her ingenulty and some remnants.
At lunchcon her husband pralsed
it and asked what It was made from.
"Chlafly from my bralns," was thc
laughing reply.
"Well," said tho appreciatlvo fel-
low, "I always know you had bralns
in plenty, but I never beforo rcallzed
how dellcately flavorcd they were."
"Picked-up dlnncrs," as they nre
called in blunt English, aro oy no
mcans an unlmportant featuro In tho
economles of housekeeplng. If you
want to call them by a moro attrac
tlve name, you can speak of them as
rechauffes, and whllo pracjtlcally tho
same thing, it doesn't sound quito so
makeshlfty.
I said "practically" the same thlrig,
but in reality there ls a difference.
And tho difference is bctween golng
along on tho samo dull level of dolng
things, or llving up to an ldeal whlch
demands conscientlous care and
thought, wlth tho deslro aways to do
fore. Say what you wlll, thero ls
a bit better than you dld the tlme be
"somethlng in a name," and you wlU
acept wlth better grace a "rechauffo
of beef" than "beef warmcd in tts
gravy."
Tho tendency of tho averago Amcr
ican to waste, especially in the mat-
tor of food, has been a great deal
commented upon, and thero ls enough
truth in lt to carry tho crtlclsm
along, Instead of lettlng lt bo de
cently buried.
Ono rcason for this waste ls that,
until quito recently, sufflcicnt atten
tion has not been paid to cookery as
eltlier a scicnco or an art, and that
vory many housekeopers do not know
how to mako tho best of tho materials
whlch they hnvo on hand, so they can
ncither uso them themsolved, nor
teach others their possibllitles,
Then, ngaln, wo Amorlcans havo ra
ther lavish notlons ln regard to pro
vldlng, and aro apt to assort that "tho
best Is nono too good for us; wo don't
want warmcd-ovor stuff; things first
hand for us, if you peasol"
If you should ask mo whaf, from
my standpolnt, I consldor tho undor-
lylng principlo of successful "mado"
dlshes, I should reply wlthout hesl
tation: Soasonlng flrst, seasonlng

Thero aro ccrtaln things whlch
should always bo found in a wcll
stockcd pantry. It ls not enough to
provldo tho ufal list of "four sca-
sons," the salj Jepper, vincgar and

else, herbs, sage, savory, marjoram.
thyme, basil, ruo and bay.
With this 11st of seasonlnga you
can cook nll tho year through and
have somethlng varled ln tho way of
flavor.
For those who havo not tho facll
ltles of ralsing their own herbs, I
would ndvlso buylng them in bunchca
or packages from tho drugglst, ra
ther than trust to tho ground herbs,
put up ln boxes. Aso buy your bay
leaves at tho drugglst's. Only a small
quantlty will bo nceded at a tlmc, us
you wlll probably never be cnlled up
on for more than ono leaf in a dlsh
for an averagc-sizo family.
I wonder how many of you undcr
stand thc valuo whlch tho onlon hau
in dellcatc, palatablo cooklng? Itcally
lt Is nccded In nlmost cvery mado
dlsh. Llke all other flavors, this
should bo qulte unobtruslve, so sub
tlo that It cannot be nnalyzed; but
lt ls one of tho most lmportant factor;
ln seasonlng that can be used, and lt
forms a basls for all tho other sea
sonlngs. You may know that you have ach
lcved a dlstlnct success ln cooklng
when someonc tells you that thc dlsh
whlch you have prepared is perfcctly
dellclous, but that the particular sea
sonlng cannot be detected or doflned.
Then, indced, you know that you havo
reached tho acmc of rechauffe prep
nration, an absolutt-ly correct pro
portion of flavors, glving a raro
"composlte," a perfcction of season
lng, when none can be distlnguished
aliove another, but all are blended in
to a perfect whole.
Flrst of all, tomato sauce is a fav
orlte, as it is a commonly used sauce,
wlth those persons who havc a well
traincd taste ln food, and ono of the
most useful bits o cullnary knowl
edge ls understanding how to mako
lt. And it ls not a difficult task, eithpr,
but lt requlres, as all successful
cooklng does, tlme, carc and patience.
Now gct your ingredients together.
You wlll use, for every half can of
tomatoes, one cupful of water,- two
cloves, two allspice berries, two pcp
percorns, one teaspoonful of mlxtd
herbs sage, marjoram, savory and a
bay leaf two sprlgs of parslcy, one
tablespoonful of chopped onlon, 0110,
tablcspoonful of butter, one heaping
tabespoonful of cornstnrch, half a
teaspoonful of salt and half a salt
spoonful of white pepper. Pilt tho to
mato, water, spiccs, herbs and pars
ley to boll ln a saucepan. Fry thc
onlon in the buttcr until yellow,
taking carc not to brown it or let lt
scorch, add the cornstarch to it, stlr
until the mlxturo of flavored buttcr
and cornstarch is perfcctly 'iimooth.
then add it to the bolling tomnto,
stirring all tho tlme until it ls well
mlxed. Simmer for ten mlnutes, add
the salt and pcppcr and a dash of
paprlka; then straln, and lt is ready.
In cold ft'cather this sauce will
kcep a week or ten days, so whlle
you aro about lt you mlght mako an
entiro can of tomato doubling your
ingredients then what you do nol
wish to uso immedlately you can
bottle. You wlll use this sauce for
breaded mutton or vcal chops, for
brolled fish, and to season your cur
ries and other mndo dlshes. It is
convcnlent to havo lt on hand, and
It is easily hcated for use.
Whenevcr you open a can of toma
toes, lf you aro to use only half the
contents, pour tho othor half at once
lnto an earthen dlsh, as tho harm
that comes to car.ned tomatoes is
from leaving thcm in thc tln, exposcd
to the actlon of tho alr. Tnklng from
tho can Just tho moment it is opened
will usually insura good tomatoes,
with all thc flavor of tho fresh frult.

Tho word "winked" lu our text ls

that God took no notice of. pald uo

At flrst glancc this is perplexing.
Not understanding the Dlvine Plan wo

uuder the chastlslng, scourglng, in

Note. for Instance. that St. Paul's

Tho Justice of the Wink.
Thc Almlghty lnforms us that Jus

Ueallngs. He canuot be less than just,
although through Chrlst ho has pro
vlded to bc more than just that is,
lovlng and tnerclful. There must havo
bcen a justice ln this wlnklng tueu
tloned by thc Apostle. What was itV
The Apostle cxplalns that owlng to

And nothing that thoy could do would

So long us that dcath sentcnce restcd

With tho Jow lt was dlffcreut. God
instructcd tlmt natlon through thc

Ings for thclr wrong doings, and thus

tage would there he ln a resurrectiou
of tho dead lf thcrowlth all were to
bo placed back just wherc they arc

would be no advantago In such a res

could rcsult from merely uwakcnlng
them from thc sleep ot death? Would
It not be wlser und better everyway
to let thcm perish llke the brute beast?
We answcr that God's Word reveals
a very grand outcomo to bls I'lau of

mlght redccm Adam aud tiis racc. for
the very purpose of glvlug thcm lu
