ward, "as much Of house as you see
from the hall. The arrangement aS to
flooring, doors, windows and staircase
was of kind unknown to US. A white
Persian cat in the picture walked down
the stairs. The picture lasted long, and
I made several changes in the lighting
of the room. When I drew down the

Mr.. Balfour had never seen Miss
Goodrich-Freer. He never had seen
her house. He had no idea she had
cat, or, if she did possess one, of what
particular breed 1t was.
Not long afterward Mr.. Lang met
Miss Goodrich-Freer and told her what
his friend had seen in the crystal ball.
MY housed" she exclaimed excitedly;
my Persian cat!"
Mr.. Lang, who never had seen the
lady's house, decided that he should
make a further confirmation Of the
facts. He visited the place, and found
Mr.. Balfour's description fitted it in
every particular.
THE Persian cat was out" concludes
Mr.. Lang rather a-nusingly, leaving us
to infer that the animal had gone shop

call. His existence, however, Ia amply

That great English statesman, Earl
Balfour, who has just died, was deeply
interested in all psychic phenomena
OF course, his interest had strong ac-
compartment of scientific curiosity.
He had several strange experiences
in crystal gazing. Once crystal had
been loaned to his sister, Miss Balfour,
by Andrew Lang. the distinguished
critic, essayist, historian and poet. On
the particular occasion of its transfer,
which took place at the Balfour home
in st. Andrews, Miss Balfour gazed in
it, but saw only a piece of old-tash-
Toned furniture.
Mr.. Balfour at that period seems TO
have been a bit Skeptical of such pne-
nomena. At any rate, he chuckled in
amusement over his sisters failure to
"see something marvellous" However,
he was interested. He took the ball
into his study.
In little while he returned, looking
puzzled and surprised.
What did you see?" his companions
asked.
'"Why, a person whom I know sit
ting under a lamp"
It was then 5 pm. of q Sunday.
Noting this fact, Mr.. Balfour said that
he expected on the following Tuesday
to see the person revealed to him in
the crystal. He would then ascertain
If his vision" had been correct.
On Tuesday at a dance in Edin-
burgh, Mr.. Balfour spoke to friend, a
Miss Grant.
ION Sunday, ut o'clock" he said,
you were seated under standard lamp
making tea. A man in blue serge was
beside you; his back was toward me.
1 saw the tip of his moustache. You
wore q dress that I have never seen
you wearing dress of"-and here he
gave a minute description of the gown.
Miss Grant looked at him in aston
ishment.
"Heaven!" she exclaimed. Were the
blinds up?"
II don't know" rejoined Mr.. Balfour.
IT was at st. Andrews at the time"
He described the incident of the
crystal ball. Miss Grant agreed that
what he had seen had actually taken
place.
On another occasion Mr. Balfour
llinched with Andrew Lang after a
session on the golf links. While they
were on the links they had discussed
between plays, a certain lady, Miss
Goodrich Freer, who had been expert
menting along lines of interest to both
Mr.. Balfour and Mr.. Lang. After
lunch, while they we're seated in Mr.
Lang's study, Mr.. Balfour, who was
smoking, gazed into q glass bowl Of
water.

The duck shown today is in correct
size to be traced off and used as q
pattern for the attractive carriage robe
pictured and described last Monday
AS full directions for making this robe
were given then, it is necessary merely
TO mention it when giving this motif
Is promised. There are various other
uses to which this duck can be put, and
as these also were promised, they will
be given in detail.
A pinafore trimmed with duck pock-
cts viii delight little tots. A green,
brown, cedar or blue play suit or sun
suit would look equally as attractive
with these duck pockets. Cut the ducks
from yellow material and bind with the
same color. Position on the pinafore or
suit and stitch around sides and lower
end, leaving the top open. Or the edges
can be blanket stitched or finished with
plain crochet with the stitches taken
through the textile. and then the pock-
cts can be appliqued in position. If
blanket stitches are used. they can be
rather close and be taken through the
apron or suit along all edges except
the top, which must be embroidered
separately. BY this method the stitch
cry Immediately secures the pocket in
position.
A smart trimming for o wee frock or
pinafore is made with o row OF ducks
cut half size or less and appliqued as
Q border around the top Of the hem.
Use the full size duck pockets.
Little cuddle-toys can be made by en-
1arging the duck. Cut two ducks from
the textile, seam together except for a
short distance along the lower edge
Stuff with cotton batting or any soft
filling. Seam the opening. Sew small
round pieces of felt In place for eyes
Extra large ducks made in this same
way can be used for combination toys
and nursery pillows or cushions. Or
small ducks can be used to ornament
square. round or oblong cushion tops.
Make French knots for eyes.
Little ducks can be stuffed with wool
or hair and be made into kitchen pin
cushions or nursery pincushions. Out
line the seams with pins, II these are
to be used as gifts or sold at fairs, and
% have them ready Immediately for
use.
Individual egg cozies can be made by
lining the inside portions with flannel
and leaving the lower part of the two
wadded and lined duck portions open.
Such a stuffed duck" with eyes of
beads or French knots, is just the thing
to use as hot-teapot handle holder.
The opening must be long enough to
slip about the handle readily.
Duck bean bags will delight young
stsrs. Cut two portions from yellow
denim or some other stout textile
Partly seam and fill loosely with beans
Complete the seam and the bean bag

SUB ROSA
Change the Bite.

The dentist may md it necessary TO
change the bite Of the Jaws when the
front teeth tend to wear each other
down. He throws the grinding back
on the large double teeth where 1t be-
longs and the central teeth are saved.
But it's up to the dentist to work that
trick.
For ourselves, we have to make
changes in other things than teeth, in
other operations than that of mastica-
ton. Our bite, our style, our attitude
may be such that we are wearing our
selves out and spelling all sorts of
chances because of faulty technique.
A girl who thinks the ONCE or store
is sort of gum-chewing parlor ought
to understand that she is working her
Jaws the wrong way, so that a change
Of bite will do her good.
If she imagines that all the vitaminS
are to be found in fudge and pastry,
her teeth, to say nothing of her stom-
ach, are going to call out for a change
of diet, so that her dental and digestive
apparatus can have a chance to do
some real work.
A shift is often q good thing with o
girl who has tied herself down to GER
tain persons who cramp her style and
keep her away from self-improvement.
When friends are too intimate for COM
fort and encroach upon us, change
Of some sort Is the best thing.
When it's . case of boy friend and
you've chewed away on one little line
Of conversation and narrowed your
young life down to just one man,
change Of molars Is the best thing in
sight.
OF course, there will come a time in
the life of girl when she knows that
she has experienced love. Then
change of bite is out of the question.
1t Is easy to get into habits, fall into
rllts and engage in q narrow way Of
chewing at life. When the dentist finds
that there has been too much grinding
In one place, he'll have to do a lot of
fancy work to readjust your jaw.
Nature fits us out with q set of
small teeth when we are children, and
then equips us with 80 larger ones when
we grow up. It's our business to make
the most complete Use of the ivory
outfit.
In the same way, nature gives us
variety of tastes and talents, so that
we are foolish to limit ourselves to just
q few of our natural resources When
We change the bite, we do no more
than try to get the best out Of what we
have.

Your Baby and Mine


Much of the tiredness and weakness"
from which nursing mothers feel them
selves suffering is purely q mental con-
dition. OF course, when mothers first
begin to do housework after the baby
Is born they become tired and nervous
because of their physical condition and
because the baby is a big care. Nursing
does tend to make one have a back
ache, as most young mothers discover,
but it isn't a weakening process-the
mother isn't losing" any strength that
she would otherwise have II she didn't
nurse the baby, for at this time the milk
Ii a natural secretion. AS so many
mothers seem to imagine, nursing
doesn't take something away from them,
because something Is added to what they
already have.
A good wholesome diet which keeps
the mother in good health will likewise
provide the baby with sufficient milk, II
the breasts are stimulated regularly.
The mother doesn't need to deny her
self foods that she enjoys. Anything
which agrees with her will agree with
baby. One has to view this period as a
natural one The mother can pity her
self until she feels all dragged down
and weak. or she can eat heartily, keep
the baby to regular hours, get out, enjoy
herself and forget she Is nursing a baby,
A reader says some more pertinent
things on this subject. She writes:
MY sister-in-law put her baby on q
bottle, though she had enough milk for
it. It makes my heart ache to see this
baby deprived of breast milk. The
doctor advised her to nurse 1t, too. But
she thinks she needs her strength.
Isn't she taking q terrible chance?
Don't bottle babies develop illness more
easily than breast-fed babies? How can
mother risk an innocent baby's life
because she Is selfish enough to want to
eat everything? Even II nursing does
take mothers strength, isn't she better
able to stand this than the baby? I
think an article by you would help
many mothers"
We do try to say very, very frequently
the same things that have been said
over and over for years. The percentage
of bottle-fed babies who die the first
year Is far in advance of the number
of breast-fed ones. There Is no artificial
food equal to mothers milk. There
can't be. Nor Is there any way OF feed
ing a baby by bottle that can equal the
natural exercise he gets when nursing
Statistics have been gathered which
tend to prove that nursing baby, be-
cause of the natural manner in which
he obtains food, develops more quickly
mentally than the bottle-fed child.
All of these things we know What
mothers do not seem to know is that
they need not deny themselves food.
They need not even deny themselves
recreation if they manage to regularize
the baby's day.
You are quite right that artificial
food for the young baby IL real risk,
and especially in the Summer. 1t Is
too bad the mother is so ready to take
things in her own hands against the
advice of the doctor. who has the baby's
and her best interests at heart.

So-called clear soup is often
cloudy because every trace of fat
has not been removed from the
stock. Allow the stock TO become
cold and solid then remove all
the grease.
To remove a fresh grease spot
on a rug, cover the spot with
blottirg paper, then press with a
hot flatiron. Cover the spot with
magnesia, let it remain for "a
hours, then brush Of.
When making rnarmalade or
jam, cut rounds Of tissue paper
the size Of the jars. Soak each
separately in vinegar and lay
close over the top of the pre-
serve. Then cover the top in the
usual way. This will prevent its
becoming mouldy.

A Sermon for Today
Where God Meets Us.
BY REV. JOHN r. QUINN.

"I being in the way, the Lord led
me to the house of my masters breth-
rem. Cen. xxiv.27.
"I being in the way" What way is
that? Not the way of our own choos-
ing, but the way God has chosen for
us. 1t Is only as we walk In His way
that we have any right to expect His
guidance and help. II being In the
way, the Lord met me and led me to
my destination"
The man who has willingly taken
the bit between his teeth, and is choos-
ing his own road in the world, Is not
the man to whom God comes to direct
his footsteps and lead him to his de-
sired end.
God may meet us on paths Of our
own choosing, but it will be with q
sword in His hand to turn us back.
1t we desire His friendly presence and
blessing, we must conf1ne ourselves to
the paths in which He has before or
dained that we should walk in them"
Heavens guardian angels accompany
us only as we walk In Gods appointed
way. They do not haunt the roads
that we make for ourselves. / have
no ground upon which to expect any
assistance from God If choose to 60
my own willful way without regard TO
His purpose and plan for my life.
But let me make sure that / am
in the path of His choosing, then ! can
be sure that He will come to me. walk
with me, and direct my every step, so
that in the consciousness Of the sum-
cheney of His presence and help, I will
be able to say, II being in the way,
the Lord met me-"
In His way-there is where God
meets us.
