Try shredded wheat or toasted corn

MRS. WM. w, o.
Aluminium paint always darkens after
the oven is heated. Sealing Is due to
the fact that tho grease ana rust were
not entirely removed as directed. All

The Butterfly Man"

Every one who has spent even day
In the country knows the beauty of iri-
descent colors which flash from the
wings of the butterflies but II remained
ize that the insects had value and he
could dispose Of them to advantage.
Fulda didn't chance across the idea in
a haphaZard or chance manner. 1t came
to him as the natural result OF years
spent in the study of butterflies. their
customs and their colorngs. Even then,
when he came to the conclusion that
articles decorated with butterflies ought
to find a ready sale; 1t took many
of using the gorgeous trappings of ma
ture without inJurlng the delicate wings
of the insects
Finally. however, he discovered that
by treating the butterflies with a solu-
strictly to himself-and then placing
them under n protective covering of
glass. he could turn out number of
beautiful and artistic bits of unusual
trays jewel boxes and the like. Even
parasol handles could be made with one
OF the smaller varieties of the insects.
while the more gorgeous blue and purple
ones made exceptionally attractive pins
and other articles of personal jewelry.
Determined that he would not have to
depend upon any one for his stock in
trade, Fulda installed n "cocoon-incu
| tor" where he raises hundreds or dell
| cate iridescent moths and watches them
| grow TO their full beauty.
1.-The butterfly industry" says Fulda,
| us, OF course, unique, but years ago ]
| determined to find a field where the
competition was not great and where
would be independent ! think I've dis

WHAT'S WHAT
Nv HELEN DECIE

Women who like to wear what used
to be called common sense" shoes, that
is. shoes with broad toes and low heels,
are apt to criticize those who prefer
high heels, especially when French heels
are worn, incorrectly. with athletic
clothes. Yet some Of the critics err In
the other direction, when, with elaborate
afternoon gowns designed for indoor
functions. they wear fiat shoes intended
for morning wear, or for golf. tennis or
hiking" at any hour of the day,
Thus the young woman illustrated has
destroyed the effect Of her exquisite
georgette gown by wearing shoes built
for hard outdoor exercise.
