OF course Peter promised. He and

ing, will somehow find q way to make
an art event out of so prosaic a thing
as darning stockings.
Mixture" Hose.
Will it surprise you to know that
one such person is not satisfied nor
will attempt to make a darn in q
mixture" stocking without coming as
near as possible TO matching the
threads of the darning cotton to the
varied shades in the stocking? If one
has a we'll stocked darning bag this
is not difficult. Three or four spools
are tried with the threads united in
one strand and held to the stocking.
With such care 1t becomes NOSE de-
ceiving, where the stocking begins
and the darn leaves off.
When Hole Threatens.
It would be quite deplorable, and to
be reckoned among the minor TRACE
dies of life, If one went forth conf
IDENTIFY to an interview with the pecu-
liar employer, thinking ones heels
well polished and ones stockings in
excellent condition, and then have a
hole in the heel come after the stock
ing was put on and at just that no.
ticeable spot above the shoe top.
Embarrassment is often saved If one
watches this vulnerable spot in a
stocking heel when the bag is brought
out for the contents to be mended.
Any thinness there should be taken
with as much seriousness, If not with
quite as much darning cotton, as a
hole.
Footing" to Mend.
Another vulnerable spot In stockings
of silk is where the thin goods join
the heavier toe section on the forward
part of the foot. There seems to be
a tendency for the more delicate
threads to give way there. 1t has
been found effective and easy to sew
a small piece Of footing Ia most ap-
propriate name) across the stocking,
just at this place Of joining. The foot
goes in the stocking, and the foot is
invisible.
Catching run"
A crochet needle and a darning
needle may seem to have very little in
common, but it has been proven that
where q darning needle may fail a
crochet needle has proved successful.
It was a very handsome pair OF costly
silk stockings in which a run in a
prominent place had appeared that
was the cause of the experiment.
Painstakingly, with tiny crochet
hook, the thread that had slipped was
caught and crocheted, loop by loop,
into place along the length of the
run. Only on a very fine stocking
should this method be practiced, and
then only when the run is Kery ap-
parent. as it is a delicate job. which
calls for keen eyesight. But there
are occasions when it pays. of which
the above mentioned was one. Match
your stockings to darning materials
by the color it looks to be when one
thickness Of it is over your hand.
Always select thread slightly lighter,
as the darn will be heavier in texture
than the stocking, and 50 look darker
than the rest of the stocking unless
this precaution is taken.

HOW TT STARTED
"Poet Laureate.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

From our school days most of US
have sensed romance In the title of
poet laureate" which is conferred
upon only one poet In England, TO be
held by him until his death. when
the next poet laureate is chosen.
The term laureate" comes from
laurel" and the reference is to the
old custom at the English universe
ties of presenting those receiving de-
Grees in poetry and rhetoric with a
wreath of laurel. This was an an
cient custom, the Greeks being known
to have so crowned their popular
poets.
The title was first conferred in
1870. The early poet laureate was an
officer in the greatly beloved king 8
household, whose business it was to
compose an ode for the kings birth
day and other important occasions.
The modern title, however, is purely
honorary.

Nutrition NUGGETS.

- In estimating the nutritive value Of
a food we sometimes do not take into
consideration a really important fac
tor. This quality is that of satisfying
hunger. In other words, it is quite
possible theoretically to feed the body
and yet an individual may be con
scious Of a feeling OF hunger. II Is
probable that fat is the element which
gives to a food it's satisfying quality.
When we consider the degree 10
which different food elements are alb
sorbed into the blood we find the com
mon foodstuffs in the following order:
Meat and fish. eggs. dairy foods.
cereals. dried vegetables. sugar and
starch, fresh vegetables, fruits.
Complete absorption Of a foodstuff
is not always to be desired. To know
which leaves r slight residue is more
all-round satisfactory, since the bulk
furnished By this residue helps both
the stomach and the bowels in their
several functions.
If it is temporarily impossible to pro-
cure beef for making beef juice for
invalids try favoring the white Of egg
with a commercial meat extract. This
combination makes a very good tenn
porary substitute.

1t was 20 minutes to G when she
left the house in taxi. She said to
Danes mother: Il may not be home
till after s. Ellen will put Sonny to

The older woman gave her a sharp,
disappearing look and waited for some
explanation.
Nora Lee said: 'I have an an
polntment in town at 6 o'clock. Good.

She had taken the letter with her
Natalie's revealing confession. Dane

Even thinking of this, her lips
moved pathetically; her thought went
blind with anguish. She prayed for
courage and poise-for but the grace
to say the trenchant word.
When she stepped from the elevator
this floor, she went in the opposite
direction, fighting TO steady herself ;
mastering a quiet poise. Better not to
plead. No! She would merely say:
Il have only come to tell you. Dane,

that you have considered her plea and

She leaned against the wall, biting
her lips, feeling it a wretched treason
even for moment to suppose he was
TO yield. Then she went on with this
valiant speech: why, then, / want
you to know that am no longer your
wife and Sonny is MINE! Not be-

She wiped her face-dusted her face
with powder. He would see she was
overweight. No matter!
She glided to the door, knocked soft

THE WAIT.
Nora Lee closed the door after the
old woman and sank in chair at
his desk. There were neat stacks OF
papers there-all orderly with cards
Of directions. On his memorandum
was notation for the head
draughtsman and a long note for
Harrison, the engineer. Everything
was left precisely and as though he
were not TO return.
But he said he would work to the
last minute and make a dash for
the train. The train wouldn't leave
for two hours.
So she waited, telling herself:
He'll GOMEZ" and glancing to the
door.
Half an hour passed. She felt her
heart swelling and humping at her
throat. The warm moisture stole
over her forehead and chilled. He
was gone. He wasn't coming back.
He didn't have to work to the last

She tried to prevent these fears
from crowding on her. But suddenly
a crazed notion seized her. He had

He was giving his answer-An adj

ARREST TWO MEN
IN RURAL THEFTS

With two men in Jail and a third
to be arrested in North Texas town,
police believe they have broken up
the gang that for the past two months
has been terrorizing rural garages and
country storekeepers, Friday.
Sheriff Newbauer of Guadalupe
county uncovered the key to the gangs
activities with the arrest of a man in
Seguin. Information obtained follow
ing his arrest led to the arrest of a
second member in San Antonio by
city. detectives and the recovery of a
small part of the loot.
Packing boxes. knives and other
articles found in shack in the Mex
lean quarter were identified by Shec-
if Newbauer as those stolen from
Seguin.
Goods valued at between $4,000 and
$4,000 chiefly of which was tires,
were stolen from establishments at
Marion. Schertz, Kirby, Seguin and
other nearby towns.
Police are of the opinion that the
gang disposed of their loot in North
Texas cities.
