ELLEN INTERPRETERS
BY VIRGINIA KLINE ;
@tA 49,


Ellen Day sat by the sunny window
upstairs edging Maisie Days beaui-
full wedding veil with delicate, fairy
like stitch. Her head was full of
thoughts of the great church wedding
tomorrow, her heart of sorrow for
the parting with her only close rela-
tive, the little sister, eight years
younger than herself and mothered
by her from orphaned babyhood.
The sour-faced aunt who had looked
after both had passed ON to her faith
ers long ago. The two girls with
their modest home and scant income
weathered life as best thew could
with Eilen's added earnings.
A sob sounded from Maisie's room.
Ellen was up in an instant, hurrying
70 investigate.
Maisle, with her fluffy fair hair
streaming, had thrown herself in
childish abandon upon the bed,
erumpling her dainty frock without a
qualm,
"Maisierchild-what In the
world"
Ellen gathered Maisie in her ten
der arms.
I'm so appy-so-unhappy
Tell 1t to sister" said Ellen.
And presently Maisie did

Your wedding rehearsal?"
Yes. I could hardly go through
it. All the girls and boys were there
and-all his peeple-and everyone"
What happened?" Ellen's lips
pursed severely. Her face whitened.
She looked suddenly old.
"He-he was SO erosion the way
up; so irritable over every single
thing. Nothing Ibid or said pleased
him. He's always scolding me-"
"Why-he's nothing but a kid out
of college How dare he2"
He's always had everything his

Useful Household Hints

Many an old bureau or dresser
which has a disfgured top or a
hideous piece of marble may be made
attractive and up-to-date by being
covered with piece Of thick glass,
preferably plate, cut just the size and
with the outline of the top.
If the old marble, which it is to re-
place, was thicker than the glass 1t
will be desirable, in some instances,
to put an under layer of wood to get
the necessary thickness.
Place a lace or embroidered cover
under the glass and arrange the sill
yer or other toilet articles on top.
Chintz or eretonne is also pretty un-
der glass tops
Old white marble table and bureau
tops make excellent molding boards
for bread and pie crust
They should be thoroughly cleaned,
of course, and may be repolished by
rubbing with small piece of marble,
used like a scrubbing brush, with
plenty of water on the surfaee.-Pat-
erson Press.

Hot Water on the Continent

A convenience that should not be
omitted from the trunk of the woman
who is going abroad, is small aleo-
hol stove for heating water quickly
Piping hot water is luxury not
always obtainable in continental ho-
tells without some trouble, and in case
of illness or an attack of indigestion
mot unusual when foreign cooking is
eoncerned-a cup of hot water in
hurry will be worth any price.
Convenient alcohol stoves for travel
ing are in the form of pint cups in
which the stove fits compaetly A
folding handle turns the cup into a
saucepan and a cover fits securely
down over the saucepan. The whole
may be tucked into cor
ner of the travelling bag.

To Cure Dandruff

Dear MISS Doom.
have just returned from my va
cation and l find that my head is
covered with dandruff. I never had
1t before and am deeply distressed
as many of my friends tell me that
it cannot be cured,
Will you please publish some way
by which I can cure it. or would
you suggest going to some place
and having 1t treated?
ANNETTE L.
think that you can cure your
scalp at home. You can be safe in
using the petroleum jelly 10 rub
into your scalp lightly and not get
more on the hair than you can help.
The brushing of the hair to start
the blood circulating is really what
does the hair most good. The roots
of the hair is where the trouble lies
and that is all there is to it. You
need to have your scalp massaged,
or moved, until you feel that the
blood is circulating and 1t looks
pink and feels warm. That is the
best way to get good results in the
scalp. The brushing of the hair and
scalp removes the dandruff and
clears the scalp and gently starts
the circulation. Old-fashioned peo-
pie had big heads of hair and they
brushed so many strokes with a
good brush every night, so why not
take the old way for while? 1t
can do no harm and may do you
great deal Of good.
The less you worry the better
your hair will be anyway, so don't
fret about 1T. Do 1t up loosely and
let 1t hang when you can. This will
help to keep 1t in healthy condition.
1t needs air, for it has to breathe,
yon know, and the fretting affects
your brain and the hair indirectly.

Embroidery Hints

Strikingly pretty are the new en-
broideries worked in solid and eyelet
stitches on linen and appllaued on
lace or net and though used most
frequently on such household linens
as centrepieces, table runners, and
scarfs for sideboard or dresser, they
are also employed effectively on bou-
doir and baby pillows. pincushion tops
and handkerchief.
After the design has been stamped
on the linen, the particular parts that
are to be undertake with net must be
marked off. The net is basted care
fully to the back of the article to be
embroidered and the embroidery is
worked through the net and linen.
Then the linen is cut away from the
spots marked off, the solid embroidery
standing out in relief from the back
ground of net.

You say that you do not want to

take the tube train to cortlandt
street.: take the downtown sub
way train marked Brooklyn and go
to the end of the line. Then change
to Long Island train marked
Rockaway. The fare from the tube
