The home economics department of the junior senior high school is anxious to help parents clear up the problems caused by the necessity of packing lunches day in day out during the school term. Miss Orr and Miss Irvine, two dietetic specialists, suggested that variety and wholesomeness should be the first aim of the lunch maker. Foods that carry well, that differ from day to day as much as possible, something to drink and a 'surprise' are four points that any mother would do well to remember, when making lunches.

Sandwiches which do not fall apart readily, and made with a variety of breads are best. Celery or lettuce wrapped separately provide something crisp. Apples are plentiful during the fall and oranges in the spring and these always are welcomed in the lunch box. Winter lunches are made much more pleasant if a thermos of hot soup or cocoa Is included. The 'surprise' is the most important factor of a successful lunch, for a youngster to come across a small packet of raisins or nuts does wonders for the appetite.

When you hear Johnny or Mary exclaim, "Gee, the lunch was good today!" your efforts will have been rewarded.

H. Ward, Tupper street. In My Small Corner O. M. We can remember vividly the thrill of excitement we used to feel as a child whenever we discovered that company was expected.

When we rushed in from the garden some morning to find the spare room being aired and freshened, we were always delighted. We used to hang over the edge of the big bed as it was made up with smooth, lavender scented sheets. We begged to be allowed to help, and raced to bring the clean towels and special guest room soap for the visitor. We haunted the kitchen where savoury smells announced that special company meals were being prepared. We got in everybody's way and revelled in the general atmosphere of welcome that pervaded that house.

We were always full of anxious questions as to how long the guest was staying, and if we could please wear our best socks in honor of the occasion. If we ourself did not know the guest, so much the better. There was always the enchanting possibility that it might turn out to be a lady with lots of pretty dressing gowns, or a gentleman with a supply of good bedtime stories. As the house hummed with preparations we were always to be found lurking in corners, hugging ourself in breathless anticipation of the great event. Long years have passed since then, but things are not so very different today.

This last few weeks our house has been busy with preparations for a prospective guest, and the old rapturous excitement has all come surging back to us. We are still to be found lurking in corners, hugging ourself in breathless anticipation. Our only wish is that this eagerly awaited visitor had some means of letting us know the exact date of arrival. We are usually a patient sort of soul, but the strain of hav PERSONAL Miss Kay Haugh and Miss Molly McLachlan left Sunday to spend two weeks in Vancouver.

The days go by so slowly! We have had our suitcase all packed to go and meet the newcomer for some time now and everything is all in readiness at home. The bed is all made up and waiting for an occupant. (It is a white basket, lined with net and trimmed with pink ribbons.) The towels are all clean and folded in the dresser drawer. (They are small and soft, with pink and blue edges. The special soap is all ready.

(And so is the talcum powder.) Even the wardrobe is all prepared. (It consists largely of a monotonous number of big white squares. We do not know this guest personally, as yet, although we are glad to say that the visit is to be a permanent one. It may turn out to be a lady (in which case we have fancy dressing gowns all ready for her) or It may be a gentleman (in which case we can probably produce some adequate bedtime stories.) Whichever It Is we have a very warm welcome all ready. It may turn out, of course, that this will be a very exacting guest, who will cause a great deal of hard work for us in the house' hold.

Its presence will undoubtedly involve a great deal of extra laun dry. A special diet will have to be provided. The visitor may prove to be a restless sleeper, who will be a bit unreasonable about request ing snacks at two a.m. He or she will require a good deal from both host and hostess in the way of at tention, entertainment, and trans portation. However we hope that we will be able to take all this in our stride and continue to greet you weekly from this small corner even though we will probably have to do so with one hand stir ring the dish of pablum, and a couple of dozen safety pins clench ed firmly in our teeth.
