A Sermon for Today
Patriotic Citizen.
BIZ REV. JOIN R. GUM.

Rejoice We with Jerusalem. and be
glad for her, all ye that love her.
Is, lxvi10.
These were the words of one who
loved his native land. Isaiah was true
patriot. He loved Jerusalem and the
beautiful land of Palestine. Love OF
ones country is a natural sentiment.
Lives there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself has said,
This is my own, my native land
The love of ones own country does
not require a feeling of antagoniSm to-
ward any other nation. To be patriotic
does not mean that we shall ignore the
rights and privileges of other peoples.
1t does not forbid our cooperation with
other nations in any movement Tor the
good of all.
In America, our ideal Of patriotism is
a patriotism which Is founded on great
principles and supported by great viz
tues, and which shares not only the
privileges of citizenship but the duties
of citizenship-duties which arise, not
only in connection with the domestic
relations of the citizen Of his country,
but in connection with all that concerns
the attitude and action Of the country
toward foreign countries.
In this ideal there is no place Tor that
narrow, provincial type OF patriotism
which thinks it is patriotic because 1t
sneers at every other nation but its
own, which cannot see anything good
elsewhere, and which cannot conceive OF
benefit to ones country without injury
to another. But, while there is nothing
selfish or exclusive in this ideal, it does
involve giving the first preference to
our beloved America.
We hear these days much about world
citizenship. The citizen who is truest to
America is the truest world citizen. II
American citizenship should fail, 1t
would mean the failure Of any mission
of good that we might bring to the rest
of the world. The best way for us to
serve other nations Is to be true
American patriots.
It is not 1.-The man without c9un-
try but the man with country who
belongs most truly to the world and
serves the world the best.

Wrinkled Hands.

Dear Miss Leeds-Will you please tell
me what to use for my hands for deep
lines and wrinkles? What causes the
dryneSs Of my handsP 1t seems that
they are getting more wrinkled since
they became so dry.
Could use the same cream for my
hands which use for my face?
Y. T. L.
Answer-without doubt, the dryness
of your hands is what Is causing them
to wrinkle. A dry skin always wrinkles
more readily than one which Is suffi-
GENTLY fabricated. For that reason any
one with such skin must be sure to
supply the skin with oil which Is lack
ing.
One Of the most frequent causes for
dryneSs of the hands Is too frequent
washing and the use Of hard water.
Try not to wash your hands too often
during the day and when you do wash
them soften the water (unless the water
Is soft by the addition of little corn
meal or oatmeal. Dry hands thoroughly
after washing ard after drying apply
a little hand lotion made from equal
parts Of rosewater and glycerin.
Yes, you may use your facial tissue
cream for your hands If you wish, but
If you want to make a special massage
OIL 10 IuprlcaCe The SKIN OF the hanoS
and help eradicate those wrinkles you
win find the following oily lotion partic-
ularly effective: One ounce glycerin;
one-half ounce spirits of camphor; five
drops tincture of mvrrh. After cleansing
the hands at bedtime apply some of
this cream and massage from the finger
tips dow to the wrist-about three
minutes massage for each hand is
enough-and leave the cream on over.

THE ovER-MANTEL PANEL MATCHES THE WINDOW HANGrNes

Since wall hangings are in such high
favor, 1t is interesting to note how some
OF them are made so that the home
decorator can, herself, fashion various
kinds. One of the smartest Of these
hangings employed by one expert deco
rator consists of motifs cut from fig
ured textiles forming elements in the
scheme Of the room furnishings. Only
those motifs can be used which are suf1i-
GENTLY large and perfect to be appliqued
to a plain background OF generous pro-
portions and form q complete orna-
ment of sufficient interest to lend deco
ration to the panel.
This decorator not only uses rich and
rare brocades wrought in many colors,
but also gay chintz. hand blocked linen
and cretonne motifs. The first are ap-
rlidued onto backgrounds of satin or
&1lvet The others are against plain
textiles of their same kind, natural col
ored linen, or other fat tone5A linens OF
brighter hues which accent the notes
desired in q color scheme of room. Or
they are appliqued to entirely different,
but eminently suitable, background tex
tiles of which there are endless styles
TO be found in the shops.
There are two ways of making these
applique panels. One Is to cut close to
the outlines of the motif to be APP
pliqued and glue the entire figure onto
the tightly stretched background tex
tile This is quick and good method
provided the worker is deft enough not
to let any least suggestion of the glue
get on the background left exposed
after the work is done.
1t is essential that the motif be abso-
IuteIy correctly conferred on the back
ground. For this reason it Is advisable
to mark the background in enough
places when the cut-out motif Is cor
rectly placed upon 1t so that these
marks form outlines into which the
motif Is fitted again when it has its
background covered with glue. Or the
whole motif can be lightly outlined by
tracing around it on the background
and the portion of the background in
side the outline be brushed with glue
and the motif be fitted into place

this stage until the following Spring.
AS babies they have very thin,
white skin. You can see the food they
have eaten through 1t. They have
brown heads, six prominent legs and
strong biting mouth parts. They have
the uncanny habit of lying on their
backs to eat their food. Instead Of
using their legs to get about, they move
by means of ridges on their backs.
After spending their full time as grubs
in the earth, they await a rainy spell
and push their way out.
They have few enemies. The wasp
is one Of them and birds are ever ready
ready to follow the pillow or harrow
When the furrow is turned and the
soft, juicy grub Is exposed to view, the

Household Methods
By BETSY cALLIsrEn.

1t is possible to buy for 10 cents
glass jars with shaker tops much larger
than salt shakers and intended to con-
tain powdered sugar. Four or i've of
these may be useful to you in your
kitchen or pantry. One containing
flour is useful to have on hand when
greasing cake tins. You know that If
you always shake -four over the tin
after it is creased you never have the
some such shaker device 1t is impoSsi-
BILE to sift the -four evenly on the
cake tin.
In one shaker-top Jar you might put
q mixture OF cinnamon and sugar in
just the proportions that you win need
In making cinnamon toast A mixture
of cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar is use
full in seasoning apples for baking
Many women find 1t convenient to
compound their own securing mixtures.
Some women even use finely sifted wood
ashes for securing tins and knives.
Very fine sand proves useful in some
sorts of cleaning, and all these things
may be used much more conveniently
If they are contained In a jar with
sitter top.
In labelling Jars of this sort It is
better not to use pasted paper labels,
as these become looSened with the
moisture and heat and cannot be
washed. The best plan is to paint the
label on in oil paint with fairly fine
brush. Any sort of dark oil paint or
stain will answer the purpose, and,
though this can be rubbed OF, it will
stand any reasonable amount OF ordi-
nary washing.
It is always q good idea to have
salt for kitchen use in a shaker-top-
ped container, as well as the usual
covered box. When Sprinkled over
meat or other solids, it can be better
scattered In this way than If measured
and scattered with a spoon.

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.

"HIS writing is particularly in
teresting in its suggestion OF re-
preston. The slant indicates a
desire to be a friendly person,
who is unrestrained with others.
The manner in which the i" is
formed, however, reveals a great deal
about her inability for true self-expres-
sion. Notice the way in which TINS
letter recrosses itself at the base. 1t
seems almost as though the writer
might be afraid really to '1et go" and
be her real SELF She probably feels
she must hold herself back for fear
of becoming conspicuous. If she could
reveal her own personality to her
friends and acQuaintances, they would
undoubtedly be surprised. It would be
almost like the brilliant moth coming
from the plain cocoon.
Part of her difficulty in adjusting
herself properly in life may lie in the
fact that she is easily discouraged. The
manner in which she crosses her It's
NTH a decided down stroke would sug-
gest this characteristic and also tend
ency to dependency. 1t may be that
her aims and ambitions in life have
been very high Because of her fall
ure to achieve these aims she may feel
that she has been complete failure.
She should realize, however that it is
only a few who reach the top.
For her, the successful completion OF
everyday tasks will lay the foundation
Of an interesting future.

retorted Mrs. Stubtail with a little

nately. IF he were he would have killed

"All the time he took the greatest
care to see that was not hurt In any

while the glue is still wet, enough to
hold it in position.
Another method is to cut out the
motif, allowing for small seam, to turn
back when the ornament is hemmed
down to the background. This is the
classic style of applique.
The background, unless very heavy.
is lined to supply body. Whether lined
or not, the edge Is finished with gimp,
gold preferably.
These wall hangings are effectively
used as over-mantel panels, especially
when the motif makes wide hanging
This shape is also excellent to use over
console tables, sofas and in wide wall
spaces. The long panels are well-suited
to between window spaces and other
long wall spaces.
The motifs best for these decorative
wall panels are large floral and fruit
designs of the French, Italian and
Spanish patterned goods. Occasionally
there are motifs with animals and
birds, which can be transferred to
panels as described.
A charming scheme for the living
room is to have the motif for the panel
cut from the same material as the win
dow draperies. Or in bedroom the
spread and accessories can be of glazed
chintz linen or cretonne with panel
to match.

beetle makes no effort to con-
IL ceal her presence. She Is
headed for the newly rfpened
fruit or vegetable and cares not who
knows about it. She has queer looking
children who spend as much as four
years In the ground growing up. They
destroy our corn roots and any root
which takes their fancy. Hidden from

The parents live in the ground dur
ing the Winter and in the Spring they
climb out of their burrow and seek
the trees at night. They eat the
foliage and the leaves of plants. They
marry. At the first streak Of dawn
they make hurried rush to their
burrow. Again at night, they steal
forth and have grand feast on our
food plants. Many are brown In color
or a biackish brown, while some Of them
are q bronze green.
The mother lays lovely, pearly white
eggs, several inches below the surface
Of the ground. They are placed in

where plants nave been cultivated. In
three weeks they are baby grubs and
they live on the roots and underground
parts of the plants until Spring. When
the soil is warmed by the Spring sun,
the grubs move up toward the plant

feeding, they again seek the deep soil

Embroidery Emphasizes Revers
By MARY MARSHALL.

Never were revers so important, unless
In the directoire period in France. II
you can recall street coats and dresses
for both men and women you win re-
member that some Of them seemed TO be
all rever.
This year it Is fashionable to look top
heavy. And the rever is part Of this
fashion.
A further emphasis is given TO revers
ny embroidery. Fortunately they are not
fr1ned and furbelowed. There is nothing
IuSsy about them. But they are en-
oroioered sometimes quite deliberately.
sometimes the embroidery occurs on
The collar section, sometimes on the wide
points OF the rever. sometimes on the tie
part OF the scarf that goes with them.
The embroidery may be of self color
or OF contrasting color-an the colors
OF the fashion rainbow, and they are
many, may be used For bright color
Is one Of the smart details OF this years
fashion.
Revers are usually double. In that
case the embroidery is done before the
TWO thicknesses of material are put to-
getner. The embroidery can then be
pressed from the wrong side. And the
lining or facing of the rever covers the
ugly under-side of the work and makes
smooth, attractive finish.
