Through a
Woran's Eues
"Of Days.
BY JEAN NEWTON

Do you have of days" when the
family tell you you got out on the
wrong side Of the bed?
Are there times when everybody
seems to be trcading on your toes, ir-
ritatins you, imposing upon you? And
when you let them know it do they tell
you you are cranky or cussed?
Then ten to one you are dissatisfied
with yourself. there is something you
have done or omitted to do that is on
your mind. For. as Nine. Roche says.
Sometimes We take vengeance for our
evil thoughts or actions by tyrannizing
those around us
w course we do not know II. But
underneath our 'cussedness' is the
feeling that the trouble is with our.
selves-and this exasperates us so much
more against the victim we have selected
Tor the occasion.
when .daug htcr is ''scrappy wHh
mother in the morning. criticiaing
everything from the coffee to the water
in the bathroom that wouldn't run
simply because she oversight and is
late again. or because she let Tom
take her home last night instead of
Harry. Only way down in her heart.
she knows somehow that she is un.
just, and that makes her still more
angry with mother.
Nor does father understand, when
he mathematics the dinner and strikes
fear into the hearts of Bobby and May
that il is because through his own
oversight he lost that important con-
tract. Bobby is deprived Of the use
of his bicycle for week and poor little
May her favorite dessert because father
is angry at himself--and mother has
her evening spoiled.
Mother may never have heard the
quotation from Nine. Roche. but She
knows. Whether il is daughter or
father. she can just about guess what
the trouble is. So she smiles in the way
hat mothers have and tries TO smooth
the rrffled hairs.
Bur Bobby and MAXWELL for them
its just one Of he cruel things in n
hard, hard world.

Can You Tell?
By X. J. and A. W. Bodmey
Who Invented the Piano

The first real piano was made by
Bartolomeo Chrstifori. an Italian. He
invented the little hammers which strike
The strings and give a clear tone. in
stead of the scratching sound which all
nrevious instruments produced. II took
200 years 10 discover the value of these
little hammers in making clearer notes.
The name pianoforto comes from two
Italian words meaning hard and soft
and is accurately descriptive. as the
notes can at will be made loud or soft E.
II is development Of the simplest
form Of making regular sound vibra-
tions by swapping or hammering a
string which is stretched tight and
fastened at both ends. In other words.
it is n stringed instrument. and we
must go far back into history to find
the earliest traces Of stringcd instru-
ments and even then We do not know
when or where they originated.
There is a legend that the Roman
god Mercury. walking along tho Nile
after the river had overhOwed it's banks
and the land had become dry again.
stubbed his toe on the shell of dead
tortoise He picked II up to cast aside
and accidentally touched some of the
strings of sinew with his finger. These
strings were all that remained Of the
body of the live tortoise. Mercury heard
a musical sound and after almost vainly
searching for its cause. he twanged the
string again and discovered the music
in tightly stretched strings. He set about
making musical instrument using tn"
tortoise shell for sound box and
stretching number Of strings of sinew
across il. This is all said to be
legendary. of course, but If we examine
the musical instrument of the early
Greeks. the Tyre. We find representa- o
ton Of the tortoise upon it.

THE problem of utilizing leftovcrs is
L always vexing TO the housewife.
and frequently because she is unable to
think of other methods the roast will
come to the table two and often three
times as a cold cut. The English
housewife is real adept at making
savory dishes from leftover meats.
Beef Sav0ry
The dish is made from leftover boiled
or roast beef. Pick meat free from
the bones and remove all fat; put this
meat through the food chopper. adding
Four branches of parsley,
One onion.
Now place in skillet three tablespoons
of bacon drippings, and when hot add

Simmer slowly for ten minutes. and
then lift to thick slice of buttpred
toast. and cover with a little melted
cheese.

melted bacon drlppings and bake in
moderate oven for forty minutes.
Meat Roll
Any leftover meat, boiled ham,
chicken or beef. veal or pork may be
utilized in making this dish. In the
summer do not plan to serve potatoes
with it. Place the leftover meat through
the food chopper, adding
TWO green peppers,
Fire branches Of parsley,
TWO onions.
There should be two cups OF the
chopped meat,
Prepare II pastry as for the Derby
