a great big stump. There he would
sit down. You See, down between the
roots OF that stump was a hole-a hole
big enough for Peter to dodge down
INTO In case of danger and in which
to feel quite safe. Almost always he
was joined by Jumper the Hare, and
of course the one thing they talked
about was that nest which couldn't be
found. You see, Jumper had become
almost as curious as Peter.
1T is mystery where that nest is,
declared Peter. But it is almost as
much OF mystery what becomes of
Mrs. Buzzard when she disappears in
The treetops over here. She ALWAYS
disappears at the same place and

'All right said Jumper good ma

Vinegar and yeast should
never be kept in stone jars.
They possess an acid that at
tacks the glazing, and causes a
chemical change which renders
the vinegar or yeast harmful.
When making jam rub the
bottom of the preserving pan
with a little oil. 1t prevents
burning and leaves no disagree
able taste.
Apples that are to be baked
should be pricked with fork
before being placed in the oven.
If YOU do this you will find they
will not break while cooking.
To cool an oven while baking
keep the door shut, put in the
damper of the oven f1ue, and If
the oven is still too hot, remove
one of the rings of the hot plate.
This will reduce the tempera-
ture quickly without admitting
cold air to the oven.
Dark rooms bring depression

There are other women, of fashion
who occasionally appear in long
skirts-and they invariably cause
more comment than the women who
so to the other extreme and wear
skirts of the shortest.
A sort of compromise between the
very short skirt and the long skirts
is seen occasionally this Autumn in
skirts that are very short at one place
and trailing at another. These trained
frocks depart from all the conventions
that chung to the trained skirt 20
years ago. Then trains had 10 be
exactly in the middle of the back and
quite symmetrical, and the rest of the
skirt had to be floor length. To Wear
trained frock that rose even two
inches from the floor in front was
dreadfully dowdy 1t was one of the
things that fashion just wouldn't put
up with.
One simnle way of making the up
to-date train is by means of a wide
sash allowed 10 hang long enough on
side TO trail the floor. Sometimes this
trailing sash is gathered to a point at
its lower edge and weighted down
with a long silk or metal tassel.
Sometimes the end Is left square and
bordered with panel of heavy velvet
flowers in a shade darker than the
frock.
Another interesting variety of the
up-to-date train hangs directly down
the back of an otherwise ort-skirted
frock-the train hanging down from
Just beneath the hustle puff at the
back A French froct of mauve and
gold brocaded velvet has a hustle and
train of deep plum color.
Let US rejoice i'll the fact that thus
far trains have appeared only on
evening frocks and rather elaborate
negligees.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Libra.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
not propitious during the early part
of the day. They, however, undergo
a radical change an hour or so after
noon and become favorable, radiat-
ing hope and encouragement and slim
ulating effort and courage. The morn
ing therefore, Is an occasion for care
full thought and deliberation, but IS
not suitable for real constructive
work. Once the plans for whatever
project you may have in mind are
matured. the afternoon Is the time for
their execution. If they do not de-
pend for their outcome on speculative
risks, there is a strong probability that
they will be favored by the ausplcious
influences that prevail.
Children born under the planetary
aspects OF tomorrow will vary, both
physically and morally. according TO
their sex. A boy will be strong,
healthy and vigorous and will at no
time during his boyhood or youth
cause any anxiety from physical
standpoint His character will not
give all the satisfaction or content
ment that may be desired. He will
be wayward, self-willed and averse TO
everything that Savors OF study.
strong hand will be needed in order
to make him realize the need OF con
forming TO the desires Oh tnOSe WHO
have his welfare most at heart. a
girl will. during her early years, be
ailing and weak. Exercise and good
nutrition will overcome all these con
sritutional weaknesses. Her dlSpoSl-
ton will be winsome and attractive.
She will always strive to please, but
in doing so will not sacrifice any con
victions that she may have.
IL tomorrow is your birthday. YOU
are always trying TO convince others
of your callousness, Indifference and
stoicism whereas, at heart, you are
considerate, emotional and generous
to a fault. You. however, are under
the impression that revelation OF
your real characteristics would be
sign of weakness instead OF proof
of humanity. Your actions invariably
belle your impulses. Your words
brusoue and unsympathetic- = hide
your real thoughts. 1t is said that
kind words can never die, and II
is potently true that unlfind words
have an unfortunate knack of never
being forgotten.
You are ruggedly honest. except in
wilfully endeavoring to deceive peo-
pie about your real personality. You
have a reputation for probity that Is
uneXcelled and perseverance that al
ways conquers.
In your home life you are happy. as

suited to her particular build. For
instance, very stout girl frequently
looks ridiculous If dressed in too child
ish models.
In the first place, such girls must
be provided with clothes that are in
conspicuous, and which consequently
allow the girls to forget themselves
Their manner is thus made easier, and
so the whole appearance improved.
The large girl needs to wear lines
which make her appear thinner. For
this reason. all ruffies, gathers, loose
pleats and horizontal trimmings must
be avoided klmono sleeves are less
pleasing than the set-in kind. and par
ticularly, IL the figure tends to ac-
cumulate flesh across the back of the
shoulders. the kimono style will ac-
centuate this fault. A yoke across
the back of waist broadens the fig
ure and the same thing applies to
wearing a sailor collar.
F'laring skirts and bouffant hip lines
are not for the stout girl and no mat
ter how much she may want the
crisp standout taffetas, with their
shirred lines and wired skirts. in which
her petite playmates shine. she must
be denied. Rather close fitting.
straight skirts are best for her.
A MILDLY blouse gives rather a broad
ciect. Dut Slice HOtnlnB can take
the place of a MILDLY to wear with a
separate skirt, the chief thing to
notice about their becomingness for
the large girl is their fit. Generally
she will look smaller and better In
one that laces at the throat than
one with "a large. fiarinS tie. The
only exception is when she wears q
tie of subdued color and soft ma
terial, which is inclined To cling softly
to the figure. Checks, plaids and all
large stripes or Patterns of course
make ones size more apparent, as do
certain colors.
A very important thing about the
big girls dresses is the length. A
girl may be very young, but if she
Is plump her skirts cannot be real
short. 1t must be remembered that
a stout girl often has unattractive
calves, and the skirts must be long
enough TO keep her from looking CON
spicuous on that account. On the
other hand, they should not be so
long as 10 appear dowdy, or to rob her
clothes of all style. A medium length h
is most becoming, and at the same
time gives her all the youth which
is consistent with her size.

trodon, developed for use IN connec-
ton with Neutrodyne circuits. This
type Is shown in Fig. 3.
In this type of condenser two pieces
of bus bar are placed in line but are
separated by a short space so that
there IS no contact between them, as
shown at a and Il in Fig 4. These
two wires are inserted in glass tube,
as shown in the section diagram by c.
Another tube slightly larger than
the glass tube. but made of brass, is
then fitted over the glass tube, as
shown at d This tube can be moved
from one end to the other over the
glass tube.
Condenser Capacity Explained.
The effect of this arrangement is
to produce two condenserS, connected
in series. One condenser is formed
by the dielectric between wire A and
the brass tube through the dielec
tric the brass tube through the
glass dielectric, while the other con
denser is formed by the wire 3 anC
the brass tube through the glass
dielectric. AS the brass tube is moved
| from one end to the other the ca
pacity OF one of the small condensers
is increased, while that Of the other
| is decreased. However, the increase
in one does not make UP for the de
crease in the other condenser, because
according TO the principle which gov
erns condensers connected in series
| the total capacity in the set is less
than the capacity of the smallest one
| in the set.
In still another type of small ca
| pacity condenser a greater variation
| is obtained bv making the capacity
| of both condenserS decrease as the
| adjustable element is moved The

gether two pieces of insulated wire, as
shown in Fig. 2. In that case the
wires act as the plates of the con
denser and the insulation acts as the
dielectric. TO increase the capacity
all that is necessary is to give the
wires a few more turns. thus bring
ing more area of the wires in play.
To decrease the capacity you can un-
wind "a few turns or just clip off part
of the twisted portion. Care should
be taken to see that the wires do not
make contact.
The most popular form of variable
small CAPACITY condenser is the Neu
