No Getting Away From
Dehlement of Pitch

When a man with a hitherto good
character gets mixed up with some
scandal, or allows his name to be as
ISOLATED with shady transaction, it
is often said, "You can't touch pitch
without being defiled." Pitch is one
Of those singularly adhesive things
which, touch it ever so lightly, leaves,
if not a stain, at least an odor.
The correct quotation is, "He that
toucheth pitch shall be defiled there
with" and many people would be in
clined to look for it in the book of
Proverbs. 1t is not in the authorized
version of the Scriptures, but forms
the verse of Chapter XIII of the book
of Ecclesiasticus, one of the books of
the Apocrypha-those sacred writings
which are not included in the canon
Of Scripture.

furniture can be fumigated to get rid

Simple Frocks Are Liked
~ By Julia Bottomley ~

Speaking of the family sewing,
why not get 1t out of the way? That
familiar adage, "make hay while the
sun Shines" loses it's appeal as far
as being housed in with sewing ma
chine is concerned on a spring day,
when all out-of-dOOrs\ coaxes and
leases to come out into the sunlit
open. Rather does 1t seem wiser to
sew and sew while the snow flies
and all the landscape looks dreary
and uninviting. For then, and then
only, can one experience that grand
and glorious feeling of having the
family sewing out of the way, in time
to yield to the persuasions of budding,
blossoming spring.
So taking it for granted that the
wise-minded have at this moment the
household sewing campaign well I'M
der way, few suggestions in regard
to new washable fabrics for children's
dresses for instance. 1t seems from
all indications that printed pique is to
prove one of the most popular ma
terials.
Imagine anything in the way of a
child's ensemble so clever as a frOck
of printed pique with coat of solid
colored pique. Well, that is just one
of the many happy thoughts for
spring.
Printed pique and printed dimity
are charming for school frOcks. Make
them up very simple like the one in
the picture. Most of the patterns
call for unbelted straight effects from
shoulder to hem, as shown here. Very
short, too, continues to be the rule.
The use for contrasting materials
is apparent in the styles coming in
for spring and summer. A favorite
idea is to combine piques, ging-
hams and such with dainty organ
die. You have no idea how pretty
the effect until you have tried it, Of

Eggs Served With
Vegetables

Fry half cupful of finely sliced
onion slowly in butter until brown,
then add one pint of canned tomatoes
and simmer for a while. A pinch or
two of salt, a teaspoonful of sugar
and little pepper will add to the
flavor, or rather bring out the flavor.
Break four or more eggs carefully in
to saucer and slip each one gently
into the mixture, taking care not to
let the eggs touch each other. Take
from the fire and put into hot oven
until the eggs are cooked. When done
remove-.and place the eggs on hot
toast, pouring the sauce over the
top.
