Best Way to Do Overcasting
BIZ LYDIA LE BARON WALKER.

the goods at slight slant. This Will
bring the slanting stitch on the other
side of the seam. When hemming nap
xins this is desirable type of top
stitching to use, as it gives hemming
stitch on the right side Of the napkin.
To hem thus make an extremely mar
row first turning and narrow second
turning. Then crease the napkin back
along the line where the turned-back
edge falls against the napkin. Hold
the work as IL two SelvedgeS came to-
gether and overcast in fine stitches,
When the sewing Is done, open out the
seam by pressing with the thumb nail.
This is the easiest way to hem napkins.
If a slaIiting stitch Is wanted for the
top Stitchery, the needle should go
straight through both edges of the
goods being Sewed together. This will
cause the thread to lie at asslant across
the goods, and bring straight stitch
on the other side of the seam. This is
desirable when setting In q patch in
stitches on the right side of the ma
terial will follow the lines of the weave,
and SO show least.
The expert needlewoman who over
casts, or top-seams long seam, works
first from one end Of the seam and
then from the other with alternate
needlefuls of thread. Should there be
any tendency to hold one edge looser
than the other such reversal of work
will take care Of slight discrepancies
and the final needleful in the center
Of the seam viii meet the preceding one
exactly.
It should be remembered that there
Is always tendency to hold the goods
that are toward the worker just trifle
loosen than those parts away from her.
Therefore never hold the goods over
the fingers, but always grasp the edges
between thumb and forefinger and
slacken the back edge a mere trifie.
OvercaSting and top-seaming are
worked from right to left.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
"a STORY OF A COURTEZAN.
BY ANATOLE FRANCE.

critic. novelist and satir.st,: author Of THE
aois & Is. g 2nssfs sse Island
Once upcn tins there lived q cour-
texan Of great beauty. She resided ct
. Mathoura, In Bengal, India. Her name
was Vasavadatta. For her beauty she
! was famed far and wide, and people
everywhere talked OF her and the fiann-
ing Life she led.
Now TINS courtezau vasavadatta had
Happened to meet the young son OF q
wealthy merchant. SO handsome was
this young man that she immediately
fell paSsionately In love with him.
This mans name was Oupagoupta. sSss4
~ Because Of her love, Vasavadatta sent
one Of her servants with q message to
Oupagoupta. advising him in the sweet
est and most unnaistaksble language
that II he would come to- see her, she
would receive him with the greatest Of
delight.
But oupagoupta did not obey the
summons. For he was kind and filled
with pity for the foibles and failings
of mankind. He was q scholar, pos
sessed with the knowledge that makes
for sympathetic understanding. As q
citizen he was law-abiding, and he lived
according to the highest moral pre-
cepts of Buddha, to whom all the NOR
alists of all the world owe much. That
was why Oupago1pta appeared to spurn
the love of the beautiful Vasavadatta.
It came to pass, not long after this
episode, that Vasavadatta committed a
terrible crime. Only a terrible punish
ment could sufficiently atone for this
heinous deed. She was tried, found
guilty and sentenced to the most hor-
rible death that could be imagined for
. woman whose body was so beautiful
that It was famed far and wide.
Vasavadatta was condemned to have
her hands cut of. Not only her hands,
but her feet were to be cut OF, too,
and her nose and ears as well. She
was led to the cemetery. In the ceme-
terry this dreadful manning was to take
place, 50 that she might atone for her
horrible crime committed against the
society which now condemned her to
20 horrible an expiation. There, when
the sentence was carried out, this lovely
courtezan-this once lovely woman-lay
upon the spot where she suffered the
torture, pitiful piece of human flesh
without legs, without arms, without ears
without q nose-still living, but slowly
lying.
One Of her servants stayed with her
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-03

| and kept the flies away by tanning her.
| The servant wanted her mistress to die
| In peace. And while the servant was
performing this merciful task, she saw
| approaching young man.
The youth did not appear to be q
curiosity-seeker. He advanced as though
he were plunged In meditation. He
was dressed like visitor, and he showed
every sign Of Difference. In fact, q
child was holding parasol over his
head.
The servant girl had no difficulty in
recognizing Oupagoupta. Immediately,
acting on sound simpulse, the servant
picked up the scattered members of her
poor mistress and put them away out Of
sight.
As the merchants SON approached
vasavadatta, he stopped and contem-
plated her In silence. He looked upon
her whose beauty had but recently been
the brightest Of pearls in the court
Meanwhile, the courtezan recognized
with her dying eyes the man whom she
had loved In vain. She spoke:
"Oupagouptal Oupagouptai It Is
you! When my form was adorned with
rings Of the purest gold and with silk
Of the finest texture, and was as sweet
as the flower of the lotus, waited for
you to come-in vain. Then I. was as
miserable as / am now. When I then
could have inspired love, however, you
only horror and disgust, you come to
look upon me. Why?" asAsv
And Oupagoupta,s answer came In a
voice full Of soothing tenderness:
SISTER VaSavadatta-for choose to

deceived by the vain appearance Of your
form in the days when you were beau
tiful for the eyes of sensuous man to
look upon. Even then I saw you with
| the eye of meditation, as also look
upon you today. ] knew then that YOUR
body was deformed-fOr 1t was only q
vessel of corruption, Of wickednesS and
of the darkest evil.
"And 7 say to you, Vasavadatta, In
all sincerity and truth, that for him
who sees and knows and understands,
you have lost nothing. To such q one
you are still VasavadattA. Dosnot re-
gret. Have no remorse that you have
been so punished. Shed no tears for
the specters Of joy and pleasure which
are always fleeing from you-let the
! evil dream Of life fade away into moth
ingness.
Say 70 yourSeiI, veSaVauatta, That all
| the pleasures Of the world are no more
than the reflection Of q pale moon In
the water. You sorrow, you despair,
because you desired too much. Let it
pass. resire nothing more-be kind to
yourself, and you viii be on par with
the gods.
wish no longer for life, vasavadatta,
for it is the viii to live which is keeping
suffering. You know, sister of mine,
that life is evil Believe it when i say
that ! love you-I love you truly not
for your physical beauty that was, but
because Of the woman you era. Vasa-
yadatta. Be content Rest In peace. =, !. 4
Oupagoupta finished speaking. Vasa-
vadatta heard his words. She knew
that every word he spoke was true. So
this courtezan died then, without de-
sire, and departed Ia pious peace from
| this world Of Illusions.

Autointoxication Can't Happen.

Now I have had enough experience
trying to teach health-not disease, but
health to the layman-to know that
lay audience will never get my point
or will never accept It as the simple
truth until certain universal morbid
decisions or fancies are disposed Of. So
let Us dispose Of these obstacles right
now.
One very popular delusion that Is
cultivated for profit by numerous sub
sidized health authorities Is that this
and that item of diet is binding in
effect. This is absolutely untrue. Moth
ing that is At to eat Is binding or con-
stipating. Some foods or combinations
OF foods are more laxative than others,
but none Is binding-and there is no
earnestly assure you that one should
never avoid q wholesome article Of food
on the silly ground that 1t may prove
constipating. All food Is more or less
laxative. We cannot devote more time
to this now, but please remember the
unqualified fact have asserted
namely, that no one can blame any
food or mixture OF foods for coStive-
ness or constipation or the physic-
taking habit.
Next I must dispose Of another very
morbid and nowadays. I fear, much too
popular delusion. This one, too, Is cul-
tivated by all sorts Of fake healers. ]
refer to the characterization obsession.
Simply worded, autointoxication means
some kind Of poisoning of the body from
the absorption Of waste matter Of one
kind or another from the intestines.
Such thing absolutely does not hap
pen, except In rare instances Of COM
plete intestinal obstruction, which de-
mands immediate surgical Intervention

tons, that Is your misfortune. Even
If certain nlustrious members Of my

Common garden variety OF deception
was considered naive. A joke 70 De q
Joke had to possess q punch" strategy
was invoked and fabrication became an
instrument Of the perpetrator.
The wife Of an honorable cltizen
would receive letter addressed to her
husband In feminine handwriting. "A
trusting wife became suspicious when
her husband opened the missiye. He
naturally tried to conceal the letter
and his own asontishment. Usually the
wife saw the letter, which said: Dear
est: Be sure to meet me at the old
bridge at midnight. Lovingly, Mae"
Who was Mae?
The effect of the so-called joke was
sleepless nights for the good wife. 1t
was she who suffered more than the
unfortunate husband, the intended
victim.
We know of several instances where
this occurred, causing illness. Putting
tack on ones chair was painless to
the victim compared with the former
trick. Luckily, the world Is growing
more sane.
What causes giggling at an inappro-
pirate time? During serious per-
Torrance the other night a number in
the audience chuckled audibly. Was
it overacting on the part OF the actress
or hysteria?
We never knew giggling girl who
retained her popularity with the boy
friends. In restaurant recently a
serious young fellow was telling his
female companion something about his
ambitions. He was studying diligently
to obtain an education and then pro-
fession would follow. The young woman
giggled.
He told her Of trip he had taken
to South America. The girl giggled
again.
He asked her whether she would have
ice cream or pie, and again his COM
panion emitted q series of giggles.
Easter Sunday morning soloist stood
in a choir loft and sang. His render
ing Of the sacred number was excel
lent. As he neared the end his voice
broke for a second. Several young

shake with other giggles.
