A Funny Way To Eat

of these little sticks, as it would for
you to use a fork or spoon. Suppose
you were eating rice, do you think
you could chase a grain around until
it was firmly g%rasped, and then get
1t to your mouth? The people who
use chop-sticks, hold both sticks in
n hand, as seen in the picture, and
by long practice, and not knowing any
other way of transferring food from
the plate to the mouth, have become
so expert in their use, that they could
almost pick up a grain Of rice with
their eyes shut. When they have
meat of any kind, 1t is cut up into
small cubes before it is served, so all
they have to do is to pick it up
canary bird fashion. Wonder If they
did not get the idea in the first place
from seeing birds eat? Now, it is not
impossible but that way back when
people were eating with their fingers.

IL You Would Be a Trickster

the medium or mind reader Bert,
you will have to be very careful TO
bear your part in min First of all,
May will have to go out of the room,
and after the door has closed behind
her you must ask someone in the au-
dlenee to touch or name some object
in the room. When this has been
done call May back and begin to ques-
ton her. First you must have ar
ranged that she should say mo- to all
of your questions up to the seventh
one-or whatever number you think
is the easiest to remember-but to the
seventh question she should say yes.
For instance, If the object touched or
named was the piano, you would say
to her when she comes into the room:
Did we touch the chaIr?'"
And I'd say NO! Wouldn't I,
Daddy?" interrupted May.
Exactly. So to each question until
the seventh which would be: Did we
touch the %plano?' you would answer
no. but yes to the seventh question.
There are other ways of performing
this trick. Bert could point to the differ
ent objects instead of naming them. He
might use my cane. grasped tightly in
his hand. and pointing to the objects
say: is his it?' When the stick Is
thus grasped the answer should be
mo-; but when the cane is held be-
tween the thumb and forefnger, only,
the answer should be yes. Still
another way to do this same trick
would be to have 1t arranged before
hand that the object named should be
the first mentioned after reference to
a four-legged object. If Bert should

What Shall We Make 2

~ OW many of you are asking this
~ question now2 Surely. nearly
everybody would rather receive a
q gift that you. yourself have made
with loving care and thoughtfulness.
Here are a few suggestions that you
can easily and ine~xpensively follow:
Fol Dad
Fold a piece of plotting paper to-
gether in book form, the size of a
sheet of note paper. Bind it all
around with narrow ribbon, and tie a
bunch of bowknots at the back. Let
ter the words MY Impressions" on
the outside of the cover n lay a
quire OF note paper inside. This
makes a pretty memorandum pad.
For Mother
Take q pretty piece Of material
twelve inches long and five n a half
inches wide. Sew the short ends to-
gether. Make a hem along IN of the
Ions sides and put in draw strings for
the tor. Cut another pfece OF ma
terial twenty-four inches long and a
little over three inches wide. Sew the
two short ends together and make a
on one Of the long sides. This
is to be Used for pockets around the
other strip which forms the bag. Lay
pocket strip around the other.
placing the lower part of each to-
gether. These are to be gathered
about a circular piece of material two
and a half inches in diameter. Place
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-11-30

this round piece so the right side will
be on the outside and gather the two
strips so the stitches will be inside the
bag. Run a line of stitches from the
bottom of the bag through the two
pieces of material to@the top of the
pocket strip at intervals of three
inches. These stitches form the
pockets, eight in number around the
bag. White thread can be put in the
pockets and colored threads or silk
inside the bag, which makes a very
pretty and useful spool bag for mother
to keep handy when she sews.
For Brother
A napkin ring of linen makes a
lovely gift. Fold double a piece of
fine white linen, making a width of
about three inches. the length to be
determined by the size napkins you
use. Embroider his Initial on the
linen. Make a buttonhole on one end
which should be pointed. and place
a button on the other end. After. the
ring has been worked, it should be
starched stiff and buttoned.
For Sister.
Especially il sister goes to boarding
school or college, will she appreciate
a cover to lay over the contents of her
suitcase. A piece of linen should be
cut the desired size and the edges
may be bound or hemstitched. A
monogram may be embroidered in the
center but this Is not necessary.

but he has mastered the difficult art
of sitting down and rising up. and
accomplish it with a flowing motion,
that leaves nothing to be desired.
