Unexpected company Jrom out of town had arrived and mother had to- "piece out" what she had originally planned. She had man aged everything but the dessert and she knew the half of a sponge cake would never serve the whole num ber. . ' - , , . "Mother, let. me make something, taid Harriet Ruth. ' "Oh, my dear," said mother. "Usu ally I'm" glad of your help, but just now I'm afraid I'm in too much of a flurry." J . v Harriet Ruth looked hurt. "You never said that ' before, mother. I thought I really helped you." "You do, dear," mother said, ".but " Mother stopped, then smiled sudden ly., "I have it- just the thing we need." She hesitated a minute. "It's a pretty big job lor a little arm and if you get tiredVyou call me, will you? Let's have strawberry fluff on our sponge cake. It's easy to put together, but it does take time and. strength." "Do you mean that pretty pink stuff we had once, a long time ago, mother? I just love it How shall I make it?" - "Get a large bowl and a wire egg beater. Put into the bowl one egg white, unbeaten, a few grains of salt, one-fourth cup sugar and 14 large strawberries, crushed. Beat steadily, - but' cot vigorously, for 20 minutes. .Why don't you to out on the back porch, where it'a cooler? Mind, now, yon call me if yon get tired." v Co-Operation Mis. Gross will be very glad to receive suggestions for the home economics column or to answer, as far as she is able, any questions that her readers may ask. , "Oh, I won't get tired mother. My arm is real strong." Alter 10 minutes mother slipped out to the porch to see how things were progiessing., Dorothy, the next door neighbor, had come over and the little girls 'took iurns beating the fluff. It was not nearly stiff yet, but had swelled jup. "Is it all right, mother? Will it ever get stiff?" , "Oh, yes, just have patience. It al ways takes the full 20 minutes." Before Harriet Ruth sat down to dinner, she brought the sherbet glasses into the pantry and put a square of sponge cake in each. he had a bowl of slightly crushed and sugared strawberries in the icebox, and a smalt saucedish of large whole berries. She put the bowl of straw berry fluff into the icebox also. ' While mother removed the dishes froni the table before the dessert Har. riet Ruth slipped into the pantry. She put a spoonful of crushed strawberries onto the square of cake in the sherbet glass, theh a heaping spoonful of the strawberry fluff and topped the whole with a large berry. When the company admired the pretty dessert, mother smiled at Har riet Ruth and said, "My small daugh ter prepared it." ' .

Included among tnese are strawberries, raspberries, gooseber ries, blackberries and bananas. Maybe you didn't know that the banana is a berry. But it is at least in botany. It has a pulpy pericarp and, there fore, it is a berry. ' Bananas have been on the market, of course, all winter and are well up in the luxury class, selling around 10 cents a pound, which means 40 cents a dozen, for the kind that used to cost IS cents. ; The high price of ocean freights caused by the war is .

On with the search for charml We all want it; the consciousness that we don't possess it makes each and every non-factinator miserable. The other day I attended a, tea where were gathered together several celebrities,' maculine and feminine, a few ordinary folks and one or two pretty little moving picture actresses. Into the gathering came one of Amer ica's foremost woman writers. She was dressed in a suit that belonged to the past spring not to the com ing winter her haf was of straw in stead of velvet And the woman her self was thoroughly dowdy and unat tractive looking. She was so con scious of her work-a-day clothes and her lack of physical attractiveness, in contrast with the youth and beauty flowering all around her that she was miserable, awkward .and utterly dull. Her really brilliant and charming mind got all clouded over by terrified sejf-consciousness; and the self-consciousness was based on the date of her clothes and the dustiness and general lack of freshness that dis torted her from head to foot. "Oh, I didn't know there were go ing to be a lot of people herd I've come straight from work without brushing or washing, or getting ready for all these folks. I just thought you and I were going to be alone, dear I" she cried to the hostess. And if she reads this article and feels a little hurt at me for writing it that won't hurt, her a bit I Why hc lid any of us go to a friend we i'ovi in dusty, unbrushed clothes or locking so shabby and unattractive that we cannot be gracious to the people we meet in her home? Clothes do play an important part in transforming a stupid, unattractive girl into a beautiful one. Please no tice exactly what the fairy godmother did for Cinderella. Not Vanity. I am not advocating vanity or con ceitboth interfere with charm. I am just advocating the careful groom ing, the sensfJe selection of clothes, the attractive arrangement -of your personal background and atmosphere that cannot be managed in public. Then when you come out ir publi: you know that your hairpins are in placrand your collar is clean and you don't have to spend your whole eve ning thinking about yourself. Who hasn't pitied the self-conscious, unhappy looking man whose brown oxfords and blue serge busi ness suit and green tie stood out in a dinner-coated assembly. If the gentlemen of the oxfords and the green tie is 99 per cent charming he may rise above his clothes; but the chances are that they will swamp him. "The unlit lamp, the ungirt loin," are Browning's symbol of unprepar edness. Well, you have 'to beteady for happiness when it comes ready and waiting or it will pass you by. Charm js partly physical, partly spiritual and partly mental. It is to some extent a gift of the fairies and, in a degree, a thing you actually go out and get a thing you make to or der. Life has a way of slipping by the folks who are colorless, unattractive, stupid, boresonre or so restless .and incapable of staying "put" that when opportunity rings the door bell they re never home to hear the summons. Most of us have a stupid way of thinking that life owes us our desires, so we trot around looking so unat tractive that life mistakes us for flot sam and jetsam instead of for real ships, capable of carrying a cargo. If we don't err in that direction fit may make the blunder of sitting with fold ed hands, waiting for the tide to carry rich cargo right up into the little backwater where e have anchored. It won't. Cultivate Charm. The man or woman who makes up his or her mind what he or she wants and then goes after it gets it. Given someone a strong soul wants to at tract, he or she doesn't talk the be loved to death, doesn't display his or her nature as restless, pleasure-seek- n. : a Simple Simon's Signs.

The Finish Out of that wonderful world where God is, The Lords of Karma the path have whovyi. And given- us lessons to learn in bodies Oh, many the bodies our souls have known 1 In gem, and blossom, and sentient being, In dull cave dweller and thinking man, All things knowing, and feeling, and seeing This is the purpose and this the plan. Forms are fashioned in wide world places From flame. and ether and common clay; While egos wait in the high star spaces 'Till the call shall come, which they must obey. Oh, never a wish or a hope lies hidden Of good or evil in any heart But back to earth shall the soul be bidden To live out its longing, and play its part Grief and pleasure and joy and sorrow, Out of old sowings we gather them all And the seed of today we shall harvest tomorrow, ' When our souls come back at the karmic call. -Over and over the lesson learning, Till, letter perfect, and meaning clear Back on the spiral pathway turning We carry the knowledge we gathered here. The thought of that last journey back to Him , When there is no more longing or desire For anything but God left in my soul, , Shine in the distance like a great white flame I think the way will lead through golden clouds Skirting the shores of seas of amethyst And winding gently upward; past old worlds, Where body after body was outlives; Past hells and heavens, where I had my day With comrade Spirate from the lesser spheres And paid my penalty for every sin ' And reaped reward for every act; Past realms celestial and their singing hosts (Where once I chanted with the cherubim) Out into perfect silence. Suddenly An all enveloping vast consciousness Of long, long journeys finished; one more turn Then glory, glory, glory infinite And selfhood lost in being one with God. The ray once more absorbed into the sun. The cycle done. , ELLA VVHEELER WILCOX. Offerings of Exceptional Interest for SATURDAY We are offering Mea' Suits tomorrow at only $14.75.

Food Value of Pineapple Pineapple is wonderfully5 adaptable in combining with other foods" and is highly recommended by physicians for throat trouble. Many have even found it very helpfuLin stomach trouble..-. In fact, the adaptability's"! the pine aoole as a food is eaual to its de licious flavor. Pineapple may be served as a dessert or salad by it self, or combined with other fruits, will add zest to any fruIF salad. Pine apple fritters are fast becoming pop ular.
