China Mending Is
Worthwhile Task

Mending china seems to most house
wives an antiquated procedure. It Il
like mending dish towels or saving
grease for soap-something our grand
mothers did rs Q matter Of economy
but q waste Of time In these days. Al
least Il seems 30 many housewives TO be
50. But often it is quite worth while
to mend broken china.
China mending requires patience, but
when you have time to potter over the
work you WIN md It rather an enter
tanning occupation-if the article Is
rather badly broken the work will be
Ike q picture puzzle. One thing, OF
course, Is necessary, and that is that
none OF the pieces are missing and that
edges are not so badly Clipped as To
make impossible smooth juncture.
Select some one Of the reliable C.
ments or other china-mending prepa-
rations that are to be had at the drug
store and read the directions carefully
Whatever you choose, the first STEP
should be to wash the pieces to be
mended in warm water and soap and to
dry them thoroughly. Now piece them
together with your hands Just to see
cement to al broken edges and ct them
carefully together.
A good plan If you have number Of
small pieces that are not inclined to
stay in place Is to stick gunmed paper
over them when once you have them
into position. Later when the piece Is
set you can Scrape this on carefully.
You can bind larger pieces in place
with string or tape while they are set.

are sponsoring the fashion, which has
caught IRE" with amazing rapidity In
this country.
The short fur Jacket is no longer
looked upon with uncertainty. It has
come In earnest and we expect It to
stay at least long enough TO make the
purchase Of one Of these useful, not too
expensive, jackets an excellent invest
ment this season. French dressmakerS
no less notable than Lelong, Vionnet,
Regny and Prenet have sponsored this
fashion.
These fur jackets Of bolero or hip
length are worn, trinity belted at the
normal waistline, with wooden dresses.
Many Of the new coats for Winter wear
are made TO give much the same effect,
since the entire coat about the hip or
waistltne Is made Of fur. with the skirt
made Of cloth. Persian lamb, gray
kidskin and caracul are used In this
way with cloth coats.
Another fashion that has apparently
come In earnest Is the lightweight
wooden dress, made Of material so soft
and light in weight as to overcome the
prejudices Of all who might formerly
have objected to wearing wool over arms
and shoulders. Many Of the snartest
Of these wool dresses are trimmed with
narrow bands Of fur-bands 20 narrow

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER EEDRRn.

Some children and adults are readily
susceptible to irritation because Of
food, and react to 1t in q marked way.
The baby who is overted, has too much
cream in his formula. Is sensitive to
eggs, or 10 fruits Of various sorts, may
react By developing o rash or hives.
If the food is constantly IN the diet
the baby may have the rash for
months (eczema).
Hives are large, Dubious eruptionS
which appear sometimes within few
hours after eating the irritating food.
They are hard, whitish, and look much
like huge mosquito bites. They may
appear all over ones arm or all over
the back Of the neck. or Just on the
legs, and disappear almost as rapidly
as they come. Meanwhile. they Itch

too, and win help prevent the distress

certain that the eruptions are hives.
It is BEST not 10 do any home dosing.
A reader asks this about hives and
food: NY baby Is 10 and one-haf
months old and has hives very badly.
I have taken almost al the water out
Could this be causing the hives? At
what age should start giving whole
milk, and should the sugar be added7"
There are probably several foods In
the baby's menu which are, more ant
to cause hives than the eugar element
Of the formula.
Orange Juice or other fruits may
cause them, In which case try tomato
Juice or the Juice Of green grapes, and
watch baby's reaction. Wheat cereal
may be an offending factor, so sub

barley.

The age ct which babies get whole
milk IL usually one year. However,
this Is somewhat determined by weight
for II your l015 -months-old child
weighs as much as the average year

much milk, 80 ounces. We never give
any baby more than one quart of milk
daily; so that If your child is still tax
ing a night feeding, eight ounces Of
water will have to be added to make
up fifth feeding.
The use Of sugar In any formula Il
necessary to make the cows milk IS
nearly as possible like mothers milk,
which contains more sugar. When q
baby Is getting whole milk, the diet
is so varied and contains so much
carbohydrate and sugar in other ways
that sugar need not be added to the
milk. While there is any dilution, add
at least one tablespoonful Of sugar.

Wedding Cake

In some families there Is q tradition
that the wedding cake must be made by
the bride and her mother. It Is then
made from the traditional family recipe,
usually from two to six months before
the wedding-h there Is that much

In other families part Of each we'd

this Is packed inside o wooden box, 10

Usually, Of course, the wedding cake
Is ordered all packed In individual

But sometimes the bride herself cuts

which Is then cut and packed By serv-

CHI found no friends in the cast

at another time, she would have
found companionable. But now she
simply wanted to be alone and to be
let alone.
The camaraderie Of the theater
w. not proof against her deter
mined isolation, and little by little
the members of the cast ceased
speaking to her, save when neces-
sity required.
She was not unpopular; she was
simply peculiar. and the care-free
folk of the company found too many
things to do to waste time thaw-
ing the reserve of a person who
didn't want to be thawed.

"Sure, its gone" said Bonnie. "I1
1 hadn't run into you here, though
If I'd never seen you again, I'd still
have thought there was something
funny about the whole business
But finding you here, alive and
kicking, when I know that she's
| dead"
Cynthia gripped at the table to
keep from falling.
Eleanor dead" she gaSped.
Don't you never read the pa
pers?" asked Bonnie.
She mutely shook her head. She
hadn't seen paper since she left
New York. She had been afraid
that she would see some reference
to the Careys which would bring
her sorrow, her anguish, more Wv
idly home to her.
Sure" said Bonnie. "She died
three months ago."
But why hadn't Cynthia known?
What had happened to that spirit
ual bond between herself and Flea
nor, that twinship of the soul which
had informed Eleanor when Gym
thia was in danger, and should
have informed Cynthia when Flea
nor was dying?
Away off in the distance Bennie'S
voice sounded thinly:
Say, how come you call her
Eleanor? Hey, what's the matter
with you? Here, waiter"
For Cynthia no longer held her
self under control by gripping the
table; Imply she fell from her
chair.
Urls in the company, forgetful
- in her hour of need that she
had seemed upstage and high-hat,
rushed to her side. She was taken
upstairs and put to bed.
We'll, for crying out loud" said
Bonnie Thompson to himself half
an hour later. This Brown dame

Carey woman is dead. But just the
same she faintS when 1 tell her that
Mrs. Carey has cashed in. And be-
fore she tumbles off her chair she
calls Mrs. Carey Eleanor. Now
what in hell is it all about?"
Cynthia tainted just before the
evening performance on Saturday.
The company was not to move on
until Monday morning, when it left
for Little Rock. During the next
twenty-four hours Bonnie Thomp-
son did a lot of thinking.
This Brown girl had lied to him
when she said she was going home
to Ohio to get married. Anyway,
she'd changed her mind. And the
woman to whom he'd spoken in the
night club in New York had recog-
nized him.
Old man SAWYER had been in a
devil of a stew about Bennie's call
ing up his daughter, hadn't he?
And this girl-he had to come back
to that-had tainted.
Like a jig-saw puzzle" he old
himself. And if I can get the pieces
together, they'd make a picture Of

But how to fit the pieces to-
gether? The task was beyond his
capabilities. But he went back over
the whole affair. He came to his
discharge by Zogbaum.

OUT OUR WAY

CHAPTER THTRTY-NINE Con
tinuedD
She remembered the many thrills
that Times square had given her
How often, in imagination. had she
seen her name in lights above a
theaterl How often had her youth
trembled in response to the eter-
nal youth Of the city!
And she was giving it all up, aye,
giving up more than girlish ambi-
tons. giving up more than the hope
OF achievement. For she knew now
that those m b tons, those
dreamed-of achievements, we're in
considerable things as compared
with loving and being loved.
CYNICS might think that love
~ occupied only a trifling portion
of the life of any one. but she, with
the wisdom of youth, knew better.
Love was everything. She quietly
sobbed herself to sleep on the train
10 the south.
She had no difficulty in MASTER
ing the steps of the dances. One
who had qualified for a Zogbaum
chorus could pick up other stage
dances with one rehearsal.
But she had no interest, much
less enthusiasm. 1t was all a dull
routine. The company was playing
one-night stands. That meant put
ting on street clothes after the per-
Torrance, carrying a suitcase to the
railroad station and sitting around
sometimes until 4 o'clock waiting
for a train.
Frequently there we're no sleep
ing cars. and the company would
snatch what slumber was possible
sitting up in day coaches.
In the morning. or possibly the
late afternoon, there would be the
arrival in some southern city and
the inevitable quest for cheap
rooms. Then the arduouS grind
would begin all over again.

And the time came once more when the witch
doctor no longer doubted the outcome Of the

knew that the jungle-god would slay Numa.
What would then be his own fate at the hands

as the beast sank to rise no more. He saw this
