Clues to Character
Easily Influenced.
By J. O. ABERSETHY

If you can see the nose of person
you can render a pretty good verdict
of the mentality an dthe disposition
of the individual. No art of decep-
ton can avail the forehead may be
covered by hat, the eyes closed, but
the nose stands out and refuses to
be ignored.
The nose is the sun Of the face and
reveals, at first glance. more than
any other part of the physiognomy
1t gives us the most interior secrets
of both the mind and body, and in
simultaneously reveals a mans capac-
ity for thought and action.
The will faculties, to be worth
while. should be neither too strong
nor too weak. When too strong, they
are short-sighted, and when too weak,
the character is vacillating and mega
tive.
Extremely selfish wills indicate
stupidity The fact that selfishness
is dominant in the mentality is the
proof of an obtuse mind. But de-
ficient will power is also a personal
and vocational deterrent
Greatly depressed noses, thin and
narrow between the eyes are signs OF
too little will or determination. Those
who wear them are deficient in muscle
all over the body; hence, there is lack
of force and they can be easily in
fiuenced, swerved and nodded by
strong-willed persons

stitches in at fairly regular intervals.
Continue to increase for a few rows,
then crochet two or three rows with.
out increasing, and then decrease to
make the curved and turned.up brim.
If the front is wanted wider than the
back. stop crocheting entirely
around the brim and crochet back and
forth in gradually shorter rows
wherever you want the width to be
most. Finish the last stitch by
drawing the" end of the silk through
the last loop on the needle and weave
the end of the silk through several
stitches until 1T is lost from sight. A
brim can be made the same width all
around the hat and be turned up and
shaped to fit the head. just as is done
when the hat is of felt.
Raffia Hats.
Raffla can be used as the medium
instead of either silk or mercerized
crochet cotton. Use a coarse medium
and it will work up fast Sew the
handmade ornament in position or
embroider it where it will show to ad-
vantage.
Color and Cost.
These crocheted hats are apt to be
made of white or cream colored me-
dunn, though other colors are also
used. Trimmings are gay. The hats
will fold fiat and are ideal to pack
in a suitcase when going off on a
vacation. They will emerge as spic
and span and wrinkleless as when put
in. These smart hats are practical,
and If homemade cost. but a trifiing
sum of money and little expenditure
of time.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects loom

You are independent in thought and

Flower-Loving Ants.

One of the cur1osities of certain
tropical countries is the way ants
adore some kinds of plants. especially
some of the large acacias. They take
up their abode on the plant, swarm
ing over 1t from top to bottom, and
even boring holes In the leaf stalks
and living there. UnlIcky the bird
that alights on its bougfts! They
protect the plant against every en-
emy or intruder of any sort. so that
the plant gets it's benefit out of the
association. while the insects are
provided with food and shelter. 1t

Crocheted sport hats are vogue
They are so easy to make that one
can be fashioned in a very little while
and at small cost. If made of crochet
silk the price will be more than as If
merceriZed crochet cotton were the
medium, but the former is. much
richer in appearance. The trimming
fcan be of crocheted flowers or motifs,
be merely cord of twisted silk with
tasselled ends that tie in a nifty bow
with short ends, or be or croSs-stitch
or other embroidery, according to the
preference of the wearer.
No directions are necessary, except
general ones, for the making. There
are several types any one of which
will be found becoming and simple
to form. To start one of the hats
make a chain of few stitches, five
or seven. Join the ends. Single cro-
chet into the center to form larger
fat circle. Join each row with a slip
stitch. DO not crochet round and
round. but start each row separately
Increase the size of rows by making
two stitches in one stitch of the pre-
'Vious row occa sionally, and so avoid
abrupt "cupping." 1t is the cupping.
however, that gives the shape to the
hat crown; so do not try to keep the

rows.

My Neighbor Says:

A scrub-brush with stiff hris-
ties is invaluable when washing
badly soiled collar bands, mud
splashed hens or other stains
on white clothes. Lay the cloth
smoothly on the washboard,
wet the brush, rub it across a
bar of soap, then scrub the gar
ment with strokes of the brush.
In covering an ironing board
tack your sheet on wet and dry
it gradually. The result will be
an absolutely tight and smooth
covering.
To make cake richer always
beat eggs, butter and sugar to-
gether before adding the -four.
Always keep salads on ice un-
til it is time to serve them. This
keeps the lettuce crisp and the
fruits or vegetables do not lose
their flavor as they are likely to
when exposed to heat.
To make nice gloss on linen
when ironing, cover a piece of
beeswax with flannel and rub
over the surface of the iron.
Apple, potato and most other
stains may be removed from the
hands by rubbing them with
oatmeal moistened with lemon
juice or vinegar. Never use
soap before removing the stain
or it will be more difficult to re-
move.

WHICH ne fCCelVeBs
Middletown, n. Y.
What is meant by the saying of
Jesus in Matthew xi.30, my yoke is
easy?
Answer-The symbol of yoke as
typifying bondage was a very COM
mon one among both Jews and
Greeks. The Greek proverb. ITO pull
under the same yoke" corresponded
to our saying, ITO be in the same
boat
It also was q frequent symbol in
rabbinical literature for the require
ments and obligations of the Jewish
law. Jesus used IL to denote the new
law of love which He imposed on men.
The root meaning Of the Greek
word here translated, easy" is
"serviceable' or kindly" The sig
nificance of the saying is that when
the law Of love becomes the law OF
human life It is completely furnished
for the doing Of Gods will. His COM
mands and mems desires then make,
as Dante said, one flowing current.

/ notice that certain ministers give
series OF Sunday night talks on vari-
Gus prominent playwrights, such as
Ibsen, Shakespeare and other literary
celebrities and discuss their respec-

is right for ministers to devote their
evening services to such topics? Is
there not altogether too much window
dressing indulged in by clergymen in
order to obtain Sunday night audi
ences? I should be glad Of your opin-
ion with respect to these matters.
