Your Hands in Winter.

The hands come in for a good deal
Of trouble in Winter-unless you are
careful. For chapped and roughened
ter Affections.
Chapped hands are seldom painful
and perhaps that Is the reason we
are so apathetic about them. MANY
women who are very careful about
their personal appearance allow their
hands TO become chapped.
For one thing, constant washing
does much to chap the hands. If
the hands are left even slightly damp
in cold weather they become rough.
SO the woman who always keeps her
hands Immediately clean is just the
woman who is subject TO chapping.
The answer is to dry the hands
carefully and use soGne agreeable 10
ton to keep the hands soft. This will
probably be the only treatment neces-
sary. But if. in spite of this, the
hands get roughened, then wear
gloves at night. You can buy gloves
specially made for this purpose, or
you can use loose cotton gloves. Rub
the hands gently with any soothing
cream or lotion-vaseline is as good
as anything else-and pull the gloves
on and wear them all night. This
treatment does wonders for even the
most roughened hands.
If your hands are sensitive to cold.
wear loose, warm gloves. If YOU
don't like the feeling of wool next
the skin, then wear q pair Of silk
or kid gloves under wooden gloves
for very cold weather or else wear
fur-lined gloves.

The breakfast bread should be

venerable minister Is pictured as
meditating over the words in his
Bible and has kept his fingers between
the leaves of the Book SO that he
might readily refer to the text. He is
tall, spare and has penetrating eyes,
as if accustomed to looking into the

His own life of priyation, toll and

1t is said that the bishops singing
voice was a decided asset in his work
and that his rejoicing in hymns of

serious obligation to do good and he
believed in abstinence from worldly

Pilfering.

At some stage or other of a child s
growth he begins taking what does
not belong to him. If he is very
young nobody worries about 1t. Every
body knows that he has reached the
acquisitive age, where, like a crow, he
gathers all things into his nest.
Along between and 8, however. he
usually begins to take things because
they mean something to his comfort.
He Graves more sweets than are al
lowed him; he wants to go to more
movies than the schedule calls for: he
wants to be big fellow and swagger
with the older ones; he wants.
The little child has no wants like
that. He was experimenting with the
things about him and he gathered
them just to learn about them. They
meant nothing to him any other way.
But the older child sees personal value
in them. 1t is that thought that
causes indignation and alarm in the
parents breast. He knew what he
was doing; he took something from
somebody else SO he might benefit
though another lost

My Neighbor Says:

Curdled custard may be due
to too long cooking, or to cook
ing over the too hot water, or
to pouring the egg mixture
into hot milk instead of the hot
milk into the egg. or to lack
of stirring either when the milk
is added to the egg or during
the cooking, or to allowing the
custard to remain over the hot
water after the cooking is fin
ished. The container should be
removed from the heat as soon
as the custard coats the spoon.
For starting morning fires
use nut-size kindling charcoal.
1t is excellent in broiling steaks,
lobster or fish.
Cork moistened with turpen-
tine will remove marks from
hearth tiles or white glazed
bricks. and rust spots on metal
will yield speedily to like treat
ment with cork slipped in
paraffin. Brisk rubbing is, of
course. necessary, in all cases.
You should never use small
coal without first dampening it.
If you put it on dry, 1t will fall
through into the ashpan, but if
dampened it will cake into a
hard lump and, in addition to
lasting, will give out a splendid
heat.

conclusion We're it not for the fact
that the color that shares the season s
favors with green Is red-red in sun

tell us, is the favorite color of primi-
tive folk and young children, and a
fondness for it betokens just what
fondness for green does not. Wher-
ever you see we'll dressed women or
women who follow the fashions from
near or little distance you see green

try to make any psychological de-
ductions.
Green has met with especial popu-
larity as a hat color, this despite the
fact that we have always regarded
green hats as rather tying. Only the
woman of rare color1ng could wear
green hats, according to the old
theory.
Light green's seem to be in special
favor still. and a shade that some
people call chartreuse and others
linden-a light green with much vel
low about it-far surpasses the one
time favorite jade.

COSTELLO.
RACIAL ORIGlN-Norman French.
SOURCE-A given name.


Here is a family name that is likely
to puzzle you. Forgetting any par
ticular knowledge you may have of
it, it looks more as though 1t might
be Italian than anything else. But
all those of this name that you have
ever met have probably been Irish.
AS a. matter of fact, the name itself
is Norman-F'rench.
But though the name and the orig
inal blood of the Costellos was Nor
man, they really have more right to
call themselves Irish than any one in
the United States, except the Indian,
has to call himself an American. For
the Costellos began to be Irish long
before any Caucasians, except per-
haps certain Norsemen, began to be
Americans.
The Costello clan in Ireland became
a fixture there in the early days of
the Anglo Norman invasion. 1t de-
rived it's name from one Costello Fitz-
Gilbert, who was the son of Gilbert
de Angule, one Of the first of the in
vaders. AS was the case with many
of these Norman chieftains, they
gathered around them, when they set
tied in either Ireland or Scotland,
many native followers together with
those of their own race, and, falling
into the Gaelic custom, gradually
evolved their own clans, adopting the
Gaelic language and the Gaelic sys-
tenn of names. Thus, those who would
otherwise have been known (under
the Norman system) as "Fitz-Cos-
tello," became instead "O'Costello"
and finally just Costello. But it has
been SO long since the eleventh and
twelfth centuries that it Is a safe
bet that but little of the original
Norman blood remains in the veins of
the average person bearing this name
today.
