The Tell-Tale Hand

The hand is a great. hetrayer Of char acter, equally as it Is practically impos- sibe to alter it's shape or appearance.
 Care and attention will whiten and beautify the. hand and make the nails rosy. and there are little instruments for pnching the tips of the fingers Entil they are prettily pointed: but as a whole the shape of the hand remains unaltered and unalterable.
 Peculiarities in q hand are strongly hereditary. Malformations, such a thing of fingers, crop up in a family again and again. and l know Of one family in which an extraordinarily beautiful and long fingered hand appears at least once in each generation.
 Sometimes the hands of the children are quite unlike those of the parents Tn these cases it is usually found that their characteristics and subsequent careers are different too. When the child has hands just like those of one parent he will he like that one in disposition. too
 About this heredty of hands one very strange thing has been noticed. If wom- an has married more than once, or even more than twice. and has had children by her first husband then in very many cases the children she has by the others resemble that first man in some way, and usually this likeness shows itself in the hands, it is said.

Simplicity in Dispensing
 Hospitality

Perhaps there Is no greater test of strength of character than ones way of offering hospitality, either in accordance with or in excess of ones means. A false pride often impes one to run to extremes, and the housewife who dares maintain a simple standard of giving or of dispensing hospitality is so un- common that she. stapds. as bright and shining light in any community.
 Instead of running into eXtravagance or refusing to entertain at all from fear Of criticism she frankly offers her best and shares with her friends the simple possibilities of her home. She is not abashed by offering a three course din- ner or luncheon, served in a simple man. ner. In doing this she enjoys the com panionship of her friends without robbinp her family or ieopardizing her husband $ financial standing.
 Because of false pride and a lack of courage to be honest. many woman is responsible for the discouragment or fail- ure of the bread-winner
 She joins in social competition and strives to do what others. do. and as a result she reaps disaster
 She matches gift for gift only to pinch in the end it deceives no one.
 Living beyond ones means is an es- pecially ignoble form of dishonesty and in the ned il deceives sno one.
 Never is the old adage. Honesty is the best policy" truer than in this connec- tion. .4.

The Art of Self-EXpression

"If there is one thing that desire for my daughter" said a thoughtful woman, "it is that she may have and exercise the power to express herself. By .ex- pressing herself, mean to make herself understood
 q believe that the lack of this power makes for much unhappiness. I have felt this lack too much in my own life not to realize how important it is to say what one means and at the right time. Oh, I think I have trained myself so that I do not have to worry about the absence of this faculty much as once did But l did not begin this self-train- ing until well after my marriage. 1 in- tend that my daughter shall not wait so long.

 The lingerie pillow, at the other extreme, is of sheer white goods over silk. and is embroidered in fine flower patterns, some times with lace insertions.
 All sorts of flower patterns are common for eolored embroidery on sofa pillows Some designs not quite so usual are pea cock feathers in the natural colors, dragons. butterflies. bamboo shoots and basket weave and arts and crafts pat terms.
 Among new stitches adapted to this kind of work may be mentioned lazy-dazy, broderie villette, hemstitching, Beder- meier and Richelieu.

Shame to Spend the Money


 "Pianissimo. pianssimo,' said the vocal teacher to the student, your voice is too loud. Learn to shade your tones.'
 And the student worked hard to carry out instructions.
 When she went to her next lesson the teacher said; "Better-but still too loud Try again--you will get it after a while" Again the student returned to her room and tried for softer tone. Again the teacher told her it was still too loud
 Now William, the colored butler, with out whom the house would never have gone on properly, had heard and won dered at this gradual diminishing of tone. It did seem a shame to spend the money. He would interview the lady who occupied the room below that of the vocal pupil. What does you think about de voice aboye?,' he asked, pointing to the ceiling.

GINGER SNAP.


 The following is 6 sort of idealized singer snap. It has no molasses or other coarse ingredient in it. and9 only just enough ginger to give it delicate pun gency: Cream the butter with two cup fuls of sugar and add cupful of milk in which three-quarters of teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Then stir the mixture into four cupfuls Of flour sifted with a tablespoonful of ginger. When a smooth batter is formed spread the mix ture to waterlike thnness over the bot tom of broad baking sheet, carefully buttered. Bake it until it is a light brown in a moderate oven. Immediately upon taking from the oven cut it into squares with knife and remove from the pan while hot. It Is impossible to cut the cake into neat squares after cooling, as 1t hardens and will break unevenly, These crisp little squares may be served hot or cold.

 She may not always let it be known, Lut for these seven times seven hun dred years could be heard a tinkling sound within her sleeve, if you listened well, so don't accuse her of NOT being blessed with a genuine Sense of Hu- nor" simply because she doesn't air it on all occasions.
 A woman I know who has stood just about all that is humanly possible for her to stand in the way of unhappiness. said to me the other day:
 "I have arisen triumphant over it all. and guess how? Merely through a Sense of humor. One day I awoke to find that in all the fearful years that I have lived my Sense of. HumDr had folded its little tent and like the Arabs had silently stolen away. I was affct- ed with a fault finding husband and a na gging mother-in-law. Could any tE ing be worse? I had wept and walled over my Fate so long that ] was sur prsed at myself when I sat up and be- gan to take notice. One day I took a mental inventory of things and jotted down humorously to my credit:
 One husband who isn't worth worry ing about;
 Oile ulOlileI-lH-ldW tO Sptlc
 And then l began to laugh, and laughed and laughed at my household pets so fast and furious, that I soon began to like my possessions and saw what a dandy moving picture show I had right before my eyes every second in the day. l recognized right away that my Sense of Humor had turned it's face in my direction.
 . T realized that here I was, a strong, able bodied, sane minded woman, to whom Destiny had dealt hand that vas hard to play but play it l would" continued the woman. Consider your husband a mere joke I heard my Sense of Humor saying repeatedly.

 So l catalogued him as a jolSe--mat- rimonial was the adjective that accom- panied him. Now for the mother-in- law. She hated me like a game bird hates a red dog, and I always looked upon her as one of those sharp beak ed birds of prey that peck at you continu- ally. l had tried to make her like mel nay even to love me---but she just wouldn't. In fact. she loved nobody ex- cept herself and my joke of a husband. Sc with the aid of my Sense of Humor l entered her on the list as just an old hen that pecked continually, and peck away she has done ever since, but en- cased in my Sense of Humor, I have sat back and laughed until I nearly split my sides at her-and now that I am readjusted and on the road to differ ent things. l am the very happiest
