SEWING

Crochet large brass ring (used for
fancy work) with silk. Take three
lengths of ribbon, eight or ten inches
long, having the piece in the center
the longest. Sew on ring. Then at
the other end of each ribbon fasten
a crochet ring (same size as used
above), and through each ring put
three safety pins. To each pin faSten
a waist or two In this way you can
take care of nine or more waists with
out taking up much room.
1t is a waste of money to ever buy
a cheap embroidery silk. Too much
time and nerve is put on even a COM
paratively simple piece of work to run
the risk of having it ruined at the
first washing. A silk that runs is an
abomination, and most of the cheaper
silks are liable to that defect. Do
without embroidery if you will, but
never economize on the materials of
which it is made. To do so shows
anything but thrifty management.
A quick, neat, easy way to apply
lace insertion is as follows: Stitch
the insertion to the material on both
sides without cutting goods. When
this is done, turn and slit the material
down through the middle, being care
full not to cut the lace. Turn back
close to the stitching and press down
tight; or baSte, if necessary. Stitch
again right over first stitching, and
then trim away material close. Some
very neat people hem down this ma
teral instead of cutting it away, but
when finished the garment does not
look nearly so neat as when cut close,
and is no more secure.

LOS ANGELES
CoURTSHIPS

1t is a difficult thing to determine
straightway which is the most con-
ducive to happiness-a long courtship
or a short one. There Is a saying that
most of us know, "Happy's the WOO
ing that's not long a-doing," and
there is yet another old adage that
says, Marry in haste and repent at
leisure"
These two seem to contradict each
other somewhat, or it may be, per-
chance, that the author was one and
the same, and repented of his haste"
when it was too late.
After all, the length of the court
ship must depend, like everything
else, on circumstances. 1t is desirable,
however, that it should be of sufficient
length to enable the parties to ascer-
tain the temper, disposition, principle
and habits of each other-at least, as
far as these can be ascertained during
courtship.
AS a rule, when people are engaged,
they are for the most part on the best
of terms with themselves and each
other, and a display of temper or an
exhibition of the many little faults
each no doubt possesses can be scarce
ly expected.
1t is most generally the man who
is in favor of a short engagement;
l
naturally wishes to prolong the time
during which she is a person of so
much consequence; being courted and
made much of is certainly very agree
able. The stern realities come after
marriage; before marriage is the
girls day, and who can blame her if
she makes the most of it?
There's magic in the very word
courting! 1t carries back even the
hna n1H fn nj
youth, hope and love, annihilating in
a moment time and space, obliterating
from the memory long years of sor-
row and suffering and conjuring up
delightful visions of the past.
Small wonder that she makes the
most of her courtship and engagement
Husbands are very well, but before
nearly every girls eyes there is some
example of a husband not being quite
the same man he was before his mar
riage. Marriage is bound to knock a
good deal of the romance out of one,
especially men.
"Man's love is of mans life a thing
apart" 1t certainly is. He has mar
ried the girl of his heart, and he con-
siders that she should be quite salts
fed that this is sufficient proof of his
devotion, without his making love
to her afterward.
No woman ever tires of hearing the
man she loves tell her she is still the
same to him and that she is the most
beautiful woman in the world to him.
There are a few Darby and Joan
couples one meets occasionally, and
it does ones heart good to see them
The question of a long or short en-
gagement can only be settled by the
interested ones, but a little word of
advice can be given.
Do not rush headlong into matri-
mony with man you know little or
nothing of. 1t has been known to
answer well, but it is far more likely
to turn out badly. A year is quite
short enough. Why hurry and cut
short the best time of your life? 1t
will always be something to look back
upon, and whatever the years may
hold in store for you, there will still
be the remembrance of your counting
days. and of the time when you built
castles in the air together.

REPoLIsHINe OLD FURNITURE

mo one gets the full measure of joy
out of a find who does not set it up in
a bare work room in some sunny angle
of his house and there, for himself coax
it back to beauty" says Edith Stow
in the Womans Home Companion for
November. "Redressing old furniture
is necessarily slow work; but being
done, as it is, step by step, with periods
of time intervening, it is admirably
suited to one who now and then
snatches an hour for his hobby. The
ten processes given below are those
employed by an expert cabinet maker
Il. Having purchased a cabinet
makers steel scraper, wrap the blunt
end, which fits into the palm OF the
hand, in a piece of soft cloth and
scrape carefully the surface to be re-
dressed, following always the grain of
the wood. This comes from a steady,
forward pressure upon the scraper; a
downward weight from the palm is
liable to make a wound in the fiber
For ones peace of mind it is well to ex-
pertinent first upon furniture that is
not valued too highly.
"2. With a piece of sandpaper,
medium coarse, smooth down the wood,
drawing the paper straight along the
grain.
3. Snellac Jne surface, using
painters brush one and one-fourth to
one and one-half inches wide, and ap-
plying it with the grain of the wood.
1t takes about twenty minutes for a
coat of shellac to harden.
"a. Sandpaper again as in process
2, only this time use the finest grade
of paper.
IS. Sandpaper as in step 4.
~. Apply a coating of hard oil, still
working with the grain. This should
be dried in a room with the tempera-
ment at 80 degrees and allowed to set
for at least eight hours.
49, Rub down with bunch of curled
hair. This is done with a circular
movement and without regard to the
grain of the wood.
"9. Repeat the hard-oil coating as
described in process 7.
10 Rub down with a mixture of
ground pumice stone and pain. .er's hard
oil.
1.-The result will be a clear polish,
through which all the beauties of the
rich, old seasoned wood stand per-
fectly revealed"

FRICASSE OF CHICKEN

Dress a chicken and cut it in pieces
the proper size for serving. Season
with salt and pepper, roll in flour and
fry in hot butter until Drowned. Add
four cups boiling water, one medium
sized onion chopped fine, one-fourth
pound salted pork cut in strips ready
for serving. Let this come to a boil
and then stir into it four tablespoons
flour which has been mixed smooth
with cold water Let this preparation
boil b,is kly for twenty minutes, and
then put in the fireless cooker kettle
and cook until tender, which will take
at least two hours. Better plan on a
longer time, as the chicken will not
be spoiled by being left over time.

TO RENDER FAT OF GOOSE

Cut the fat into small pieces and put
in a deep iron kettle and cover with
cold water. Place on the stove un-
covered. When the water has nearly
evaporated set the kettle on the back
of the stove and let the fat try out
slowly. When the scraps are shriveled
and at the bottom of the kettle strain
the fat through a cloth into stone
jar and set it away in a cool place.
Some cooks do not use water in trying
out fat, but put the pieces of fat on
the stove in the iron kettle and follow
the other directions given.

RABBIT FRIcASSE

Dress and disjoint the rabbit and
put it into a saucepan with just
enough water to cover it and let it
simmer for fifteen minutes. Remove
the meat, skim the liquor in which it
was boiled and set it aside. Wipe
each piece of the meat, roll it in egg
and cracker crumbs which have been
salted and peppered to taste. Fry the
meat in hot butter until it is tender.
To one cup of the water in which it
was boiled add a quarter of a cup
of Drowned flour and tablespoon of
butter and boil until it is thick. Put
the meat on a platter and pour this
sauce over it.

Judge Murfin heard arguments. FRI
day morning. for new trial OF the
case of Lillian Burden. the Flat Rock
school teacher, against Albert Carter,
a prominent merchant OF the same
village.
Several months ago Miss Burdens
name figured in scandal, Deing
coupled with that OF one OF her boy
pupils. The story caused no end OF
gossip I'm the village, and as a result
Miss Burden lost her position and has
been unable to get school since.
Carter Is alleged to have made state
ments which reflected on her char
acter, and the young woman brought
suit for damages. Carter did not
deny the charge, but sought to show
his statement was founded on fact.
In this he was unsuccessful. the jury
returning a substantial verdict for the
plaintiff.
Carter, through his attorneys, Har-
~ Dryer and James A. Murtha, pre-
scented a batch OF affidavits TO the
Judge, containing great many
charges against the girl. and she
came back with larger bunch OF
affidavits claiming that the new
charges are untrue.
Judge Murfn took the matter under
advisement.
