waist line to ankle, and they have
little understands which are much
tighter.

Bad Temper Shortens Life

Ill-temper is contagious. So, by the
same token, Is kindness; and either
may become habitual. The child may
acquire the habit of pouting, frown-
ing, stamping its foot, crying or CIV
ing expression to unkind and angry
words when reprimanded or when
things go wrong, says DR.. Albert s.
Barnes in the Mothers Magazine.
His mental irritability unfavorably
affects his vasomotor system, and his
blood vessels, being overworked, be-
come prematurely aged. The same
child may, with wise teaching and q
real desire for elf-improvement, ac-
quire the habit of smiling self-control
under the same distressing provoca-
tions. In this case his vascular sys-
tenn is protected from overstrain and
longer time After awhile the be-
havior becomes very largely matter
of habit.
This subject is as important for chill
dren in the home and at school as for
their elders in the home and bust
ness and social worlds. A sunny tenn
per will penetrate the knotty prob
lens of arithmetic as we'll as those of
the woodpile, and will untangle the
intr1cac1eS or foreign language or
transform a disordered kitchen, bet
ter than a sullen one. The CHEEKY
disposition is likely to be part of the
victorious character. Popularity may
not be a very high recommendation,
but, other things being equal, it is
better to be popular than grouchy.
The grouchy person Is most wofully
handicapped, and must needs have
many excellent qualities before he can
hope to rise to equally high esteem
with his less gifted but more cheer
full comrades.
Real politeness is the kindly express
sion of kindly intent. Immature and
politeness are antagonistic and can
not dwell together for long in the
same Individual. Politeness in its
genuine essence contributes toward
the well-being of all, even to long life,
while impoliteness and irascible tenn
per may shorten life.

Davie eyed Henry with interest.
Does ii ache very much?" he
wanted to know, remembering the
time he had had a toothache, when
grandmother Dear had heated a lit
tie salt bag and put 1t on his face
when it was entirely too hot and
raised a blister.

up his hands and rolled his eyes sky

clared.
IT bet you never got scared,

and was inside of the stable. "Did

Henry lifted his head proudly.
you're right there, young man.
Nothin' ever did scare me very
much.' He removed an enormous
piece of tobacco from the side of
his mouth. explaining that he merely
chewed it because it was good for
the toothache. There want nothin'
as could scare me, though / must
say. I've seen things what had

tobacco from his back pocket and
laboriously cutting off a piece with
his big jackknife.
Davie watched the process with
interest

asked
Henry nodded.
eff I didn't have this here ter
baccy," he declared, putting the
piece in his mouth and beginning
to chew with vigor-"if I didn't
have it I'd run amuck, as sure as
fate; SILVER my timbers!"
Henry said "shiver my timbers"
very often, perhaps In order to keep
folks from forgetting that he had
been sailor on the briny ocean.

THE BRIDES OWN STORY

That's really the most economical
the food in water not quite so hot
about 40 degrees Fahrenheit-and
then you find that your meat or vege-
table Is very tasty, and yet the water
is so strongly favored that you get
delicious, wholesome gravy as well.
Slowing is done rapidly at first, then
long and slowly to make the meat
tender; and you can use cheap cuts
! to make even the best stew.
Broiling is another wholesome way
of cooking small portions of meats.
Broiling is simply cooking directly
over glowing Goals or gas. II must be
very, very hot at first so that the out
side of the meat is drawn together
or Scared" That keeps the Juices
inside. Then less heat is used SO that
the food is thoroughly cooked and
yet is not burned. You can broil In
fifteen minutes what 1t would take
an hour to roast.
But roasting does the same thing to
food that broiling does-keeps the
! juices within the food; but YOU broil
only small portions; larger ones are
too unwieldy to broil, and are bet
| ter done inside the oven by what we
| call roasting.
| I thought that when you put a bit
of fat on the saucepan you fried your
| chop, but that is really sauteing.
Frying means immersing food in deep
| fat, very hot, about 800 degrees Fab
renheit. If you first saute and then
| stew food you've a fricasee; and IL
you stew your meat and then bake
1t It's called braising.
| Baking is cooking by radiated hot
air inside the oven, and here is where
You must watch temperature care
fully, if your bread or cake is to be a
success. If the recipe says a "slow
oven" it means 27O to $50 degrees; a
moderate oven," $50 to 400 degrees,
and quick oven," 400 to 4S0 degrees.
Aunt Juliette consults her Their
mometer on baking day as often as
old DIR. Benton did when he watched
lis sick kldd!es at home.

WHAT is COOKING 9y


Cooking can't be very dull affair
when there are ten different methods
of using your stove-not to speak of
the millions of ways In which you can
prepare the article to be cooked.
l used to think that cooking meant
boiling or baking or frying, but I
find there's lots more, and now WON
der why some of the experienced
housekeepers l know never vary their
cooking method. They're eternally
giving you fried chops or pot roast,
and no matter what expensive meats
they buy they always seem to taste
just the same. Aunt Ju cite is most
economical soul, but she gets the most
astonishing variety in her cooking,
and she says she does 1t simply by
varying the method of using the
stove, as much as varying the food
itself She described accurately all
the ways In which she cooks.
First, there's boiling. That means
putting the food right in boiling hot
water (212 degrees Fahrenheit, to be
exact). This sort of treatment breaks
down all the cells in your vegetables
and meats, and dissolves their juices
in the water. Consequently, when
you boil turnips you get very nu-
tritious juice, but the turnips them
selves are just flbers. That is why
boiling is very wasteful If you throw
away the juice.
If you don't intend to use the juice
it's much better to steam vegetables.
You can steam food by putting it in
a colander or wire holder and plac-
ing 1t that way within a kettle of
boiling water, but high enough to
prevent the food from being touched
by the water. Then 1t gets cooked
in the steam, and all its nutritious
Juices are kept in the solid food. You
don't waste thing. There are spe-
cially made steam cookers which can
be bought IL you prefer.
Now. II you want to get a good
nutritious juice or sauce, as we'll as
to keep some of the nutritious Juice in
the food itself, you can stew It.

INTERESTING BIT OF LINGERIE

To make the combination requires
pa yards of 36-inch batiste, nainsook,

of the material, but for the shoulder
strap, front and back yoke the goods
may be folded, section (B) being laid
on the lengthwise fold.
Now close the leg seam as notched.
If desired drawn in at lower edge, in
sert a tape and draw in the required
size; if preferred to hang free, simply
finish with a hem or a dainty en-
broidered scallop.
For the straight, one-piece yoke
sew yoke to upper edge of front and
back, centres and notches even,
leaving edges free forward of single
large 20" perforation in front sec
ton; fold the yoke through the CEN
ire, fell remaining edge over seams,
insert ribbon through opening al
centre-front and tie in a dainty bow
Fold the shoulder strap through
centre and stitch notched edges to-
gether. Sew to upper edge of yoke
matching single small, double small
and single large 20" perforations
Lap right back on left, centres ever
for opening; centre-back indicated
by line of double 100" perforations.
If desired with shaped yoke, close

back edges even; large 20" perfora-
tons in back yoke.

A Sanitary Bag

If you wish really sanitary work
bag use a fancy guest towel.
Double the towel so that the ends
come together and seam the two
sides.
This will form a bag. When the
towel is doubled it is doubled with
the right side of the towel in. When
the seams at the sides are made, the
resulting bag is turned with the right
side out and the seams In, says an
exchange. Buttonholes or eyeleta
are made all about the top of the
bag, and through these is run the
double drawstring ribbon.
1t is well to have several of these
little bags, so that one may always
have fresh one when the one in use
becomes soiled.
