Beth's Little Method.

Beth laughs at the girls who yearn
to be invited to dances or theaters
but neysro seem tquiee able to make
the grade.
They may have plenty of boy
friends, but somehow the young gem
tlemen simply don't ask them out to
the things they would really enjoy
and Beth says it's all the girls fault
She herself never has to sit at home
single night, she tells me com.
placently. For the boys love to take
her out. She sees to that. She does
1t in some such way as this: y
There's big Onlea Yamnas dance
over at the club next week, isn't
there, Dud?"
''Uh-huh, guess so. Heard some
Of the fellows talking about it."
Gee, I'll bet it's going to be great.
! always love those dances. Wonder
IL I'm going this year"
"Why not? You usually get asked,
don't you? Never thought you
"Oh. Dud, how perfectly sweet or
you. I wondered whether you were
going to ask me or not
And Beth's method doesn't stop
just there. She maintains that lots
of girls have nerve enough to &C
through with dialogue like the fore
going, but they haven't the courage to
follow it up.
The next day when Beth meets Dud
on the golf links she says: "We,ll
have to start early next Saturday,
you know" And IL Dud, who has
hoped that she will have forgotten
her brainstorm Of the night before,
looks family puzzled, she reminds him
archly of his Invitation" w
Dud never has a chance. He gets
taken to that dance in spite OF HIM
self. and whether he has a good time
or not doesn't interest his lady friend
she has the time of her life.
Well, more power to Beth, il she
has the brass to go through with
such a performance-but let her re-
member that all she's getting for
herself is invitations.
She insn't winning real man friends
with this brilliant method. Even the
dumbest boy will wake UP to find
himself being forced into invitations
he doesn't want to make-and will
resent It keenly.
If Beth continues her cute little
scheme for getting asked everywhere
in the world. she'll acquire reputa.
ton that will frighten away the most
courageous man In the vicinity.
No boy will go playing around with
a girl, who's apt to misconstrue pur-
posely his slightest word.
Why, a fellow hardly feels safe with
a girl who may at any minute inter.
rupt some perfectly casual remark
with the exclamation: why, I'd just
love to go to the Frolic with you.
How kind of you to ask me-"
Beth's method works three times at
the outside, and what are three forced
invitations compared to the value OF
one real friendship?
Don't be silly, girls, and throw away
your real chances by using silly, un-
fair methods with the boys.

Patchwork has been constantly
growing in favor for several years
until today we find It is put to an
astonishing variety of uses. No
longer is it confined to bed quilts. 1t
is seen in dress accessories, hats,
cushion, bags, scarfs, chair and otto.
man seats, etc. 1t enters into schemes
for interior decoration and costuming
1t makes trimming among other
things.
Both applique and patches scanned
together are employed in modern
patchwork. The first is pictorial, the
second is ingenious. The first is a
modern conception of patchwork.
While it does use small bits of ma
terial which we designate as patches,
these patches are generally cut from
goods for the purpose, and which con.
form to the color and kind of stuff a
design calls for 1t harks back to
old work, but in the past this was
generally known as applique. 1t was
used for decorative schemes rather
than for any purpose of thriftiness.
1t lends itself charmingly to a wide
variety Of uses, and because of it We
can widen our modern scope and con-
ception of patchwork.
In Olden Days.
The ordinary patchwork has always
meant precisely what the combined
words in it convey, When you realize
that it was devised for the sole object
of making CLOTH" it is delightful in
its ingenuity. We examine the work
of our ancestors with genuine pride.
These women had artistic ability, and
one avenue of expression was a quilt.
Through its medium they wrought
real beauty both in color combinations
and in multiplicity OF intricate de-
signs. The modern needlewoman uses
these patchwork patterns with keen
joy---and adds her own conceptions
to them. A.se 49, - k

Salient Points OF the Play.
Fried Onions.

Remove the outer skin and slice the
onions very thin. Dip the slices in q
thin batter made Of one cupful OF
flour, one cupful of milk. one egg and
one.fourth teaspoonful of salt. Allow
the onions to drain well after they are
dipped in the batter. Use lard or other
cooking fat for the frying. Have a
frying kettle about half full of hot fat.
Be careful that the fat is not so hot
that it smokes. Drop a small piece OF
bread into the fat. IL it browns IN
about one minute, the fat is just right
for the onions. Put the slices of onions
in a wire basket or sieve so that they
can be easily removed from the fat.
Lower the sieve or basket into the hot
fat and let the onions fry until they
are a golden brown. Drain the basket.
Place the onions on absorbent paper.
Onions prepared this way are very
good with steak. They will be crisp
for several days.

Peter gave a start. He sat up and
he looked all about. He couldn't see
any one that that voice fitted. You
know, voices do fit sometimes. What
did you say?" inquired Peter in very
polite voice.
II asked If / heard some one men

harsh voice.
Still Peter stared. He couldn't seem
to tell just where that voice came
from. 1t gave him a queer feeling.
"If you please" said he. II don't know
who you are or where you are
THAT is queer" said the voice.
''You mentioned me by name and now
you say you don't know who am.
It's wonder you don't say you don't

the voice. II am fisherman. Yes,
sir, 1 am a fisherman. And here

There was a sudden motion just
across from where Peter was sitting.
1t was so quick that it was all Peter
could do to follow it. A head at the
end of long leck, and having long,
sharp bill, darted forward and down
and back again. And then Peter saw
Longlegs the Heron. He saw him toss
little fish and take it head down.
Then he saw that little fish go down
that long throat. / don't mean that
he actually saw the fish go down the
throat, for of courses he couldn't see
inside the throat of Longlegs, but he
saw a series of queer movements in
that long neck as Longlegs swallow@d
"Oh" cried Peter. II am so glad to
see you, Longlegs! Why didn't | see
you before?"
''I don't know" replied Longlegs. "I
was right here. l saw you. There was
no reason why you shouldn't have
seen me-"
You and I know why Peter didn't
see Longlegs. Longlegs had remained
motionless, and so, though Peter had
looked right at him dozen times, it
was just as If he had not been there
at all. 1t was only when he moved
that Peter saw him.

Conventional motifs can be appli,

this is desirable when the patches are
used to form a sort Of border or COM
bination motif for a pillow cover.
Cair Seats.
1t is quite the thing now to make
patchwork sets for chairs, for stools
and for ottomans. These must be
used in old fashioned rooms or those
decorated in this style. They are
excellent to use for porch furniture.
for there is simplicity about such
furnishings that reminds one of older
decorative periods, where simplicity
was the keynote. Willow furniture
calls for cushioned seats and cush-
ions also, and upholstery is not so
appropriate for out-of-door purposes
as are the cushioned seats and cush-
ion backs.
Accessories.
In accessories, when piece patch
work Is let into foundations for
borders or ornamental trimming, ap-
plique motifs are used. 1t is when
these appliqued motifs are in accord
with the scheme of piece patchwork
that they can be classed as patch
work decoration.

Complexion
By WILMA BANKY !
Don't gamble with your
skin. Use only a true
cOn7DIexiOr1 Soap

CKIN cleanliness is the modern
= basis of beauty. The rule for
that schoolgirl complexion is never
to leave powder, makeup or rouge
on your face over night.
Now beauty experts urge careful
washing with soap and water, regu-
1arly, each night.
But be sure you use only true
complexion soap. Be sure it is
beauty soap, one made for that pur-
pose and no other. For otherwise
you risk much.
Palmolive Soap has changed the
worlds conception of what beauty
soap should be. Before its creation
all soaps were adjudged too harsh
for women's faces.

an adverse Spade bid, which, il let in
by a low bid, might result in game for

unless his partner could bid four over

Trick l. West is assured that his
partner holds the Ace OF Clubs, be-
cause South could have no object in
holding it up, with the Jack In Dummy
twice guarded. He is also assured
that South still holds the nine of

would have played it, rather than the
