A goodly share in the present high
cost Of living is veritably the cost of
convenience. You buy in handy pack
ages pretty much everything, particu-
larry everything cereal. Take oatmeal,
for example. Bought in bulk, you get
three to four times as much for your
money.
Cornmeal, II 1t can be had fresh and
un-kiln dried, is cheap, hearty, palatable
and easy to cook.
Buy a peck OF raw wheat-the
plumper and bigger of grain the better.
Take several cupfuls, according to your
need, wash it in tepid water until the
water runs clear, then cover 1t with
cold water-rainwater if possible-and
let stand overnight where 1t is neither
hot nor cold. Put on to boil in plenty
Of water the first thing In the morning.
Boil up quickly, then set the pot where
IL will barely simmer. Cook till the
grain mashes readily between the

ward the end of the cooking. Take

at first it hardens the grain. Add more
hot water as the pot boils down, stir
carefully. so there shall be no scorch-

takes a longer time. At the last let 1t

COAT TO SUIT THE FIGURE.

Stout and Slender Alike.
A pleasant feature of the spring
suit is that the coat lengths accommo-
date the figure. The stout woman is
not left In despair and a short coat.
and the slender woman can have a
hip length jacket which becomes her.
The hipless figure continues. There is
a gradual return Of the normal waist
line. The sleeves are three-quarter
and full length and usually set in
plain at the armholes. There is a
slight increase in skirt width, but the
straight line continues.
A great many tailored suits are semi
tailored. There is a use OF fabric trim
ming In form Of self covered cords and
folds. silk, particularly t%affeta. is
largely used for these demitailored
models.
In plain tailored suits the regulation
coat sleeve is seen almost entirely.

at play, and as she grows older a lar

Of Interest to the Children
EXPERT TOP SPINNERS.
South Sea islanders Can Keep Them
Going a Long Time.

OOdhH eva teian6cFb van NC0R tUSUt
Going a Long Time.
The Murray islanders, In the south
seas, are given TO top spinning con
tests that might well excite the envy
of civilized schoolboys anywhere. Top
spinning is a favorite pastime among
the Murray island natives. for often 1t
is the opening feature of a funeral
feast, say an exchange.
There will be perhaps thirty tops
spinning at the same time. The men
sing songs, cheering on a top that
threatens to stop and shouting when
one is toppled over. When a top Is
dying" great care is taken to shelter
II from the wind In order that Its life
may be prolonged a few seconds. For
eigners who have timed the tops assert
that they spin for upward Of twenty
five minutes.
The Murray ISLANDERS tops are made
Of a fine grained volcanic ash and have
the shape Of a split pea with the fat
surface up. The diameter Is from four
10 six inches. The stem Is a long pen
il Of palm wood. The fat surface is
decorated sometimes with common OBJ
iects painted in colors. sometimes with
legends symbolically depicted
The top is spun by repeated slow,
steady. sliding movements of the out
stretched palms. To give a smoother
bearing surface bits of shell or pieces
Of broken crockery or the under sur
face Of a cup is put beneath the top.
Men Of all ages in the Murray islands
engage in these contests. Usually one
section Of the island is pitted against
another. Top spinning in these islands
becomes at times a debauch, the men
negiecttng their work to such an extent
that Il becomes necessary for the ma
moose, or chief, to order them back to
khetr tasks.

FOR THE YOUNG MAGICIAN.
Picking Up a Coin From the Table
Without Touching II.

Pick up a coin on the table without
touching either the coin or the table.
To perform the feat place your hand
half open at a little distance from the
border of the table near which the
coin is placed.
BLOW suddenly On the table about
two inches from the coin. The air,
compressed on the lungs, will go be-
meath the coin and make 1t jump up
from the table into your hand. so that
by a quick action you can catch 1t.
A little practice will make this simple
trick seem a very difficult matter to
one not acquainted with the art.

the previous month. but 1t showed a
