Page Twelve THE CAEOLINA UNION FARMER ] Thursday, February 13, 1913. Country Home Department. Conducted by Mrs. E. D. Nall, Sanford, N. C., to Whom all Mat ter for this Department Should be Sent. THE UNFAILING CRUSE. Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? Raise and share it with another And through all the years of famine it shall serve thee and thy brother. Love divine will fill thy storehouse, or thy handful still renew; Scanty fare for one will often make a royal feast for two. For the heart grows rich in giving; all its wealth is living grain; Seeds which mildew in the garner, scattered, fill with, gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy steps drag wearily? Help to bear thy brother’s burden; God will bear both it and thee. Numb and weary on the mountains, wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow? Chafe that frozen form beside thee, and together both shall glow. Art thou stricken in life’s battle? Many wounded round thee moan; Lavish on their wounds thy balsams, and that balm shall heal thine own. Is thy heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill; Nothing but a ceaseless fountain can its ceaseless longings still. Is the heart a living power? Self-entwined its strength sinks low; It can only live in loving, and by serving, love will grow. —Mrs. Charles. SOCIAL CUSTOMS FOR ST. VAL ENTINE. This is an ideal time to announce an engagement. Cut from white or red cards two hearts of the same size, decorate them in any appropri ate way or simply print on them the names of the bride and groom to be This may be done in red ink if the cards are white, or in gold. Tie the two cards together with red ribbons or gold cord. Put in a suitable en velope and mail to friends. A charming invitation may be made by a girl clever with her brush and pencil. Cut from color paper a desirable shape and size, decorate with a cupld or padlock and key. Nicely lettered in gold or colors to match the deco rations is the invitation: “Meet the Mystic Circle at 39 Flower Street, at 8 o’clock on February 14th, to un lock the secret of love.’’ More formal affairs require a more dignified invitation. For dinner parties, invitations should be in the name of both hus band and wife. > The invitation may be either writ ten, printed or engraved. If it is written, the names and dates must be written distinctly, and in all other re spects care must be taken. A formal invitation is written in the third person. The name of the hostess only is used for all occasions except wed dings and dinners. The invitation should be sent long enough beforehand to Insure the timely receipt of it. A formal af fair requires two weeks, one week for less formal. pound; chicken, 30 minutes for each yound; turkey, 20 minutes for each pound; goose, 20 minutes for each pound; duck, 1 hour; small birds, 30 minutes; fish, small, 30 minutes; fish, large, 45 minutes. Pitch, Wheel Grease, Tar Stains. Soften the stains with lard, then soak in turpentine. Scrape carefully with knife all the loose surface dirt; sponge clean with turpentine and rub gently till dry. Soot Stains.—Rub the spots with dry corn-meal, before sending the clothes to the wash, and for vaseline stains saturate the spot with ether and lay a cup over it to prevent evap oration until the stain is removed. Use the ether with very great care. Mrs. Smithers will not think much of them; pies, gowns and papers have been spoiled by what Mrs. Smithers heard that Mrs. Judkins said about her. And when we hear of a compli ment a certain person has paid us, doesn’t that person’s stock soar sky ward in our eyes? Therefore if you truly want to be honest and fair in your estimates of people, be very thorough in searching to see if any hurt self-love or any fiattered self-esteem mingles in your conclusion. It is essential to correct judgment of a man that you should be acquaint ed with him in his work. Here his serious, deliberate self comes out. Most of us have two natures, a work-self and a play-self. Watch a man playing golf, or fishing or chat ting with friends on the front porch of a summer evening; and then visit his office and see him handling his affairs; and often you will find it dif ficult to believe it is one and the same man. Also you must know him at play. Here often the secret fiaw in his char- acted comes out. I knew a man of the utmost probity in business, the superintendent of a great public con cern, who was honest to the penny in his work affairs, but he would cheat at whist. If you want to keep a high opinion of an author you love to read, of a statesman you admire and follow, or of your pastor, it is well not to be come too well acquainted. People in authority or high posi tion run great risks when they de scend to play nad be off guard with those whom they are to guide or com mand. The crowd is so sensitive, fic kle and often unjust that public func tionaries are not to blame for main taining reserve.—Woman’s World. AGENTS f Wake up. Get busy. Send $10. oiu « . Get new36lb.

Here are a few hints: To judge men correctly you have to like them. You can never rely upon your estimate of any one you dislike. If, therefore, a certain per son Irritates, angers, or disgusts you, be careful to form no judgment at all of him, for it is sure to be wrong. This is a very vital point. There is no insight into character without love. Just learn that truth by heart, please; because it is about the truest truth there is. To judge men justly you must be Independent of them. Your opinion of any one from whom yoii expect favors or fear harm, Is not worth a cent. Vanity, pride, egotism and all such forms of sensitiveness of self, are fa tal to correct judgment.- Take three or four people that you despise. Examine your record hon estly, and in every case almost you can trace your hard feeling back to something these persons said about you that wounded you. If Mrs. Smithers bears that Mrs. Judkins said that she was an unat tractive woman with a commonplace mind, or that she’d better look after her children a little more carefully, or that her house showed very bad taste, the chances are twenty to one that Mrs. Smithers will have a bad opinion of Mrs. Judkins and of all her works. Mrs. Judkins may bake the most marvelous lemon pies, wear the hand^mest of gowns, and read the clchreregt of papers at the woman's clubs, but you may rest assured that The preparations for this party are few and simple. It should be held on the afternoon of the 14th of Feb- bruary, if the children invited are very young. As is the case with every child’s party, care should be I taken to keep everything as simple as possible, using no elaborate deco rations and only very easily prepared refreshments. Pink-and-whlte makes a very pret ty color scheme for decoration. The needful materials are easily procured in these colors, and it is quite appro priate that Saint Valentine should imbue the festivities with a rose- colored atmosphere. Quantities of pink and white hearts may be quickly strung about the rooms on baby ribbon, small pink hearts may be pinned to the curtains, and all the old valentines left over from former years may be used for the purpose of wall decorations The indivations sent out should be written upon tiny pink hearts, and enclosed in envelopes of the usual size. For the accustomed formal wording some appropriate jingle may be substituted, slch as: The London Veterinary Correspondence School Loodon» Ontario^ Ca^^i CABBAGE PLANTS u obtainable. thouSnd a specialty. $1.00 per F.
