MARCH'S COMPLAINT
It just makes me mad," said
March.
Is that why you behave so out
rageously at times?" asked the Fairy
Queen.
"No, not because of that," said
March: "That is, as a rule, it isn't
my fault that my behavior appears to
be so shocking.
"But I was thinking about some
thing and the more I think about It
the more it makes me mad."
"Perhaps," said the Fairy Queen,
'it would make you feel better if you
told me about It all. Sometimes It Is
a great help to tell a sympathetic
friend what is bothering^ one."
"What is a 'sympathetic friend?''
asked March.
"Poor March," sighed the Fairy
Queen, "that is too bad. You have
been so roughly and unkindly regard
ed that you do not really know w"hat
sympathy means, nor do you know
what a sympathetic friend 1st
"When a person is sympathetic it
means that that person has sympathy
or compassion or pity for another.
And a sympathetic friend is a friend
who doesn't just ?tre for you when
everything is gay and happy but when
one feels as though the tears wtfuld
come and when one's feelings are
hurt."
"Ah," said March, "how very nl#?.
and how much, much better you make
me feel already. Yes, I shall talk to
you, kind Fairy Qu^en."
At that moment there was a great
whistling breeze and then a sudden
) gust of wind.
| "Now, Mr. Wind," said March,
j "please let me have a little talk with
the Fairy Queen. I don't want to
chase about now and I don't feel like
looking on at a frolic between you
and Miss Warm Wind.
'Tor if Miss Warm Wind is win
ning and I encourage her and urge
her on then people say not to pay any
attention to the warm breeze
for I'm so treacherous thnt there
will be a cold gust when least ex
pected. And I'll get the blame for
j your pranks. Let me talk to the
i Fairy Queen first."
"All right," said Mr. Wind, good
naturedly.
t "You see," began March, "I';n in a
j very awkward position. It is most
I extremely awkwartl to be the month
, of March. I can think of nothing elso
I that Is so awkward. Now November
| hasn't the troubles I have.
j "Ifl November It Is expected that
| there will be cold weather and no one
seems to mind In the same way. Then
"?*eri
"Now, Mr. Wind."
if warmer days come people simply
smile and call It Indian Rummer,
but they don't doubt November.
"In October chilly days come but
people call the days bracing and see ra
to be ready for them or prepared for
them, and October is always getting
praise such as this: 'Oh, it's a per
fect October day. The trees are at
their loveliest.'
"Now, I'm not jealous of October,
nor am I jealous of November. But
I call it hard luck. They call me
treacherous. They say, when anyone
remarks that it te a nice day and
that they're going to wear something
light and pretty, 'It's March, remem
ber,' and then they'll all shake their
heads as (hough they were talking
about the worst scoundrel In the
whole world. They need me, too!
Do you wonder I get mad and that I
have my poor feelings hurt?
"They won't praise a good day I
have, and they'll abuse a bad day 'A
regular wretched March day,' they'll
say if It's horrid ; and if It's nice,
'Don't ' be deceived by this nice day,
for March isn't over yet.'
"Every one, almost, complains of
me, abuses me, doubts me, and talks
about me as no other month in the
whole year is talked about.
"Of course I will admit that people
must be careful about changing their
clothes and taking off their - warm
ones for their light ones, but it's not
my fault nor because of treachery.
"The reason Is this : Old Man Win
ter and Mistress Sprin/ are having
their yearly meeting and they spend!
their time telling each other stories
and often acting their stories out 1 1
Somedmes their stories are short,
sometimes long, I never know When
one is going to end and the other be
gin. But it's not. fair 1 to put the
blame on me."
"It's not," said the Fairy Queen,
"i? nd I'll tell your story about It" And

PRIMARY TOPIC? Favorite Story of
the Quarter.
JUNIOR TOPIC? Favorite Lessons of
the Quarter.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC ? Luke's Picture of Jesus.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC ? Lessons From Luke's Gospel.
The method of review must be de
termined by the grade of the class, by
the test of the teachers and by the na
ture of the studies of the quarter.
Three methods are suggested:
(1) Centering in the Topic ? Jesus the
World's Savior. This method is sug
gested by Doctor Crannell.
I. The World's Liberator.
1. From Diseases. Lessons 1, 5.
2. From "Legalism." Lesson 1.
3. From Pride. Lessons 2, 0L .
4. From Selfishness. Lessons 2, 5.

3. About Prayer. Lesson G.
III. The World's Sacrifice.
1. Sacrifice Faced, Accepted. Lesson
10.
2. Sacrifice Rendered. Lesson 11.
(2) Modern Applications of the Les
sons. This scheme calls for reports by
members of the class to whom assign
ments were previously made. This is
taken from Peloubet's Notes.
Lesson I. "What should we keep of
the old-time Sabbath?"
Lesson II. "Why is it hard to be hum
ble today?"

open lo the prodigals?"

church members to give as much as
they should?"
Lesson X. "Things that Christians

cross might be brought to all men In
a generation. "
(3) The Central Teaching of the
Lessons :
Lesson I. There Is no malady of man
connected with soul or body which Je
sus cannot heal.
Lesson II. Unselfishness will move
one to humbly take the lowest place in
llfp, esteeming others better than him
self.
Lesson III. God Is longing and wait
ing to welcome to His bosom the vilest
sinner who conies with contrition of
heart.
Lesson IV. The one who lives only
for this life shall surely suffer agony
and torment in the life to come.
Lesson V. Ingratitude is common to
the natural heart. The Lord expects
those who experience His salvation to
give Him their love.
Lesson VI. Those who pray to God In
the right spirit shall surely get the
blessings sought.
Lesson VII. The supreme purpose of
the coming of Jesus Christ to the
earth, taking upon Himself our hu
manity, and dying on the cross was to
save lost men.
Lesson VIII. Upon those who have
not been faithful in the use of gifts the
Lord shall execute judgment at His
coming.
Lecson IX. We are responsible to
God, but God measures our gifts by the
extent of our ability. -
Lesson X. Bitter agony was suffered
by Christ when He bore our sins.
Lesson XI. In Christ's death a full
price was paid for our sins.
What God Remembers.'
*%" says God, "will remember."
How sweet to think of what God will,
und what He will not, remember! Ha
will remember his own covenant, but
He will not remember His people's
sins. The cross, whfch ratifies the
former, puts away the latter. ? C. H.
Mcintosh. '
God's Offer.
Back of our ignorance and uncer
tainty God stands with His offer of
wisdom and guidance to all who will
ask it.
No ?ruer Picture.
There Is no truer picture of what
history reveals than a crucifix.-? Bet

\ ? .
THE plaited skirt, of silk or -*ool
crepe, has reached tlie point
where It goes without saying that It
Is the favorite style for summer sports
wear. "Sports wear" includes far
more than things for actual sports ?
a world of informal but smart clothes?,
comfortable and pretty, but having
n casual character, are classed under
this title and are seen everywhere and
any time, for all sorts of out-dooring.
The plaited skirt, in white, black,
belge^ tan, midnight blue and In all
sleeves, pockets ond bottom of the
hlouse are bound with white ribbon.
The variety of hats for summer is
endless and greatly varied as to size
and shape. Here is a group of small
hats for summer wear, that man
age to reflect the season as clearly as
their wide-brimmed lacy rivals. The
group includes a tailored model and
four dressy hats.
The tailored hat of satin hair cloth
in beige looks very Frenchy with odd
quill of suede to match, thrust daring
PLAITED 8KIRT FOR SPORTSWEAR
three colors combined with white, will
be found in the company of many over
blouses, jacquettes and sports coats.
It makes a fine background for colors
and nothing has more class than black'
and white in these combinations. An
example of the black and white Idea
appears In the- illustration where a
blouse of black satin, adorned with
white ribbon, is worn with a plaited
skirt of black silk crepe.
Either side plaits or narrow box
plaits are used for the skirts and
they hang from loosely adjusted belts
or are fitted about the hips and are
ly out at one side. Just below it at
the left a taffeta silk hat is wreathed
with an abundance of cherries made
?
.?of the silk. This reflects the season
made in any of the lovely colors In
which plain and changeable taffeta is
shown. A similar hat is shown with
a wreath of raisins made of the silk.
At the right a hair braid hat has a
I collar of narrow velvet ribbons In
three colors, twisted together. There
is an odd flower trim at each side giv
ing it the style of a Dutch bonnet, and
many ends of velvet ribbon fall from
the left side. A draped hat of richly

beltless. These plaited skirts are not
becoming to the average figure unless
they are roomy enough to hang loose
ly, that is, they must not be snug fit
ting else the effect of slenderness is
lost
There is an endless variety In
blouses and jacquettes. Most of them
are of printed silks, plain crepe de
chine or other crepes.. A crepe satin
adjusts Itself smartly as may be
gathered from the picture. This Is a
?lip-over blouse with short sleeves,
neckline high at the back and having
revers at the front opening. The
1
*
embroidered chiffon Is finished at the
edge with a plain satin binding.
Nothing quite equals for elegance
the beautiful black hats that midsum
mer always brings in. One of these
of hair braid, trlnimed with tiers of
malines folds, is a fitting climax to this
group of exquisite millinery. Huge
silk and velvet roses are posed at one
side toward the back.

FOOD FOR THE FAMILY
A .variety for the table is the con
stant aim of the thrifty housewife.
The using of every par
ticle of food with no
waste and serving a va
riety Is a study and
needs the closest atten
tion of the housewife.
The following Is some
thing out of the ordinary
and may be used for, a
company dish :
Stuffed Olives in Aspic. ? Stone
large-sized green olives and till the
cavities with green butter. Place
small molds in a pan of ice water and
pour In the aspic jelly mixture one
fourth-inch deep. When firm put an
olive in each mold and add aspic by
spoonfuls until the mold is filled. Chill
thoroughly, remove from the mold and
garnish with strips of red pepper. For
the green butter, mix the yolk of hard
cooked egg with softened butter, a
Bprlg of minced parsley and one of
tarragon, one small shallot, anchovy
paste and a few capers with one tea
spoonful of chopped gerkins or pickles.
Pound in a mortar, then put through
a sieve. Season with salt, pepper and
a few drops of vinegar.
Stuffed Prunes. ? Take the large
sized prunes, wash, soak and simmer
until tender. Pit them a^l fill some
with creamed cheese and chopped
olives; others with fondant and a
blanched almond for center. Seeded

allspice and nutmeg to fondant. Form
hi a roll and inclose in the prune.

mashed potato into a frying pan. Add
salt, pepper and a little milk and some

white, then In cracker crumbs and

burned In streaks. When liked ccisp
and dry. remove the fat when It li
still cooking, tip the frying pan to
drain off further surplus faf and the
bacon .will be crisp and dry.
