Imitation Stones.

If you ever bought an imitation
stone. and paid the price of real one,
you probably have decided views on
the subject Of imitation stones. But if
you'll repress your prejudice, you'll
admire them on costumes, on stage
settings, or even on q hat. Imitation
stones are what we make them, and
what we make of them.
Imitation stones are made as other
glass is made. Powdered quartz, po-
tassium carbonate and lead give d.
fairly good brilliance to the imitation.
That's the way rhinestones are made.
The quality Of the imitation stone de-
pends usually on the quality Of glass
used
Traces of metallic oxides are used to
obtain he correctly colored limitations
of the ruby, amethyst, and so forth.
For the ruby, for example, the parts
used are 1000 parts glass, 40 parts
oxide of antimony, l part purple of
cassius. and l part gold; the sapphire,
1000 parts glass, % parts oxide of
cobalt, etc. The mixture is put into a
crucible and heated for about 80
hours. AS the heat is gradually low
cred the melted glass solidifies.
The imitation stones are cut and
polished in the same way as the real
polish the limitations because the sur
faces are much softer, and hence steel
instruments can be used. This fact
indicates the chief difficulty connected
with the manufacture of imitation
stones. 1t is hard to get glass that g
hard enough to stand knocks and
rough usage. Usually the harder the
glass the less brilliance the stone.
1t is easy to test an imitation stone.
A piece of flint will scratch the hard
est paste known. but it has no effect
on the ruby, sapphire and others.
Imitation coral is usually made from
gypsum of celluloid, and amber. too. is
usually initiated in celluloid. A fame
will ignite the imitation but will not
harm the real.
Imitation pearls, on the other hand,
may be made so perfectly that they
are much more durable than real
pearls. The customary way is to take

idea was to put as much distance as

If you rinse a plate with cold

difficulty in beating them to a

To remove fat from hot soup
pour the soup through a cloth

When milk has boiled over,

"Yowler seems a little put out, nv

will have TO watch for him more
sharply than ever. 1t will be best for

SO the young Beavers brought sticks
which they cut from alders on the
very edge Of the water. and Paddy
placed them carefully in the dam, ali
the time keeping eyes and ears and
nose at work to give him warning
should Yowler try to creep back and

Fay a drink from his flask and
she had refused. he shrugged his
shoulders. and, filing the little cup
tossed it Off Then he poured himself
another, saying as he did so:
Sorry you won't join me.

"I think we know each other quite

they first see 1t, but that is rather
in its favor. Most of the hats that
have won out in the race for fashion
able favor have met with ridicule
scorn or disapproval when they made
their debut. The important thing
about RebouX's Gigolo is that the
crown is crushed down in front and it
is higher in front than In back More
over, it is soft felt shape left un-
trimmed, usually, save for a bit of a
band and a bow. And this is inter
esting. Milliners, you know, and
many women whose interest in hats
is in the wearing of 'em, have been
trying to establish revived vogu=
for trimmed hats. For several seasons
now we have heard the proclamation
that untrimmed hats We're going out
of style-or that they actually We're
pasSee. CuriouSly enough those in
favor of the untrimmed hat have al
ways managed to outvote those who
are opposed. And now we have the in
teresting situation that the new hat
which we are told is taking fashion

begun to make it's triumphal way

fashion in this country-is a s severe

realize those creases and ridges are
most carefully studied. You pay for
them in quite as real sense as You
pay for the felt of the hat itself.
Already milliners are making silk
and velvet hats with this same Gigolo
shape. There may be Gigolos in straw

suitable gifts. 1t is in the hope Of
helping them that I make the sugges-
tions today. They may appeal to
older folk as gifts they would like to
make as we'll as receive.
The first suggestion is for a hot
water bottle cover made of knitted or
crocheted wool or yarn. If the
former, cast on so stitches and knit
a strip, plain. ribbed or in a checker
design, made OF plain and purled
stitches. If the strip is ribbed, make
The purls lengthWise of the work. not
across 1t. Knit a strip as long as the
hot water bottle. Then bind off 6, S
or 10 stitches in the center Of the row,
and finish the row. In the next row
east on stitches equal to those bound
off. This leaves a space through
which to slip the protruding end of
the bottle, which comes at the lower
end. Complete the strip, SO that the
length is twice that of the bottle. Sew
up each side, row for row, to keep
the work even and insure the hole
coming exactly at the bottom of the
cover.
Make a row Of filet stitches about
the top Of the bag and finish the top
OF this filet work with scallops. Run
a tape or ribbon through the fiet
spaces. and the bag is complete. The
bag can be made without the opening
at the lower end, and be just a strip
of plain knitting or croCheting sewed
up each side to form a bag. A row
of chainstitch loops at the top will
serve for the drawstring to run
through. A finer worsted should be
used for crocheted than knitted bags.
Such a bag makes a welcome gift,

Once. long ago. there lived a miller
who was SO proud of his accomplished
daughter that he told the king she
could spin gold thread from straw or
silver from hemp.
So the king called the daughter to
him and demanded that she spin a
great heap of straw into gold that
night. When he went away, she wept.
for she thought her fathers foolish
boast would cost her her life
Suddenly the door opened and a
droll little dwarf entered the room.
What will you give me if I spin
the straw into gold for your" he
asked.
The maiden was so glad that she
took off her necklace, saying. Here,
l will give you this
So the manikin sat down and spun
all the straw into gold. The king was
greatly pleased the next morning, but
being a greedy man, he soon set the
millers daughter to new task.

hair and pink cheeks. She is wearing
pink slip and her stockings and

ing, saw the water spreading farther
and farther through the swamp. 1t
came over Peter that he had run
through q large part of that swamp
for the very last time. There would be
no more running through 1t, because l.
would always be under water. unless
that dam was destroyed some time.
He knew that after a while all those
trees and bushes would die. would be
drowned. He had seen 1t happen be-
fore in the place where Paddy'S old
pond now was. 1t meant that Long
bill the Woodcock and Mrs. Longbill
would have to look for a new nesting
place next spring. SO it was with
something of Il feeling of sadness that
Peter watched that pond grow.
But Peter was not the only one con-
cerned. His cousin, Jumper the Hare,
had used that swamp q great deal. 1t
always had been a very fine place in
which to fool enemies on his trail.
Now it would not be so easy to get rid
of enemies.
Lightfoot the Deer always had liked
that swamp. 1t seemed to him pity
that it was to be destroyed. But he
didn't feel as badly about it as Jumper
did. He krew that in time there might
he water Eiies there and this would
mean many a feast. SO he might
have felt a lot worse than he did.
Yowler the Bob Cat objected because
he objects to anything new. Then,
too, this particular swamp had long
been a favorite hunting ground of his
and he didn't like the idea of losing it.
No, sir. he didn't like that idea Il bit.
He didn't hesitate to say SO. He
snarled at Paddy as the latter worked
just beyond his reach, and told him
that he had no right to build that dam.
Paddy grinned at him. DO you
own this swamp" he asked politely.
mo, don't own this swamp, but
neither do you," snarled Yowler.

Clues to Character
Cheerful Disposition.
BY ]. O. ABERNETHY.

Actors express anger, scorn. fear.
love, and all the other emotions by
calling upon the mentality to direct
the facial expressions.
Permanent expression Of the face
is made by the conscious or uncon-
scious action Of the mind. Lines upon
the face are caused by the constant in
f1uence of the emotions, desires, pur-
poses and activities of the mentality.
II the lines are arched on the fore
head. forming many parallel bows be.
tween the temples, they are indexes
to an idle. vacant mind. Irregular
lines. neither straight, horizontal nor
upright, reveal erratic natures, often
untractable and impulsive.
If the disposition is pessimistic, there
will be lines extending downward
from the corners of the eyes and
mouth. But the person with a cheer
full disposition will have mirthfulness
and buoyancy written in every line,
as they will all have tendency to
curve upward instead Of downward.
