Shades Must Be
Carefully Cleaned

Always have on hand a soft brush
to clean your silk shades. They need
constant cleaning to keep the dust out,
and they are not properly cleaned with
cloth. A little brush, kept just for
that purpose, Is best, as it brushes the
dust out without crushing or wearing
out the silk. If shade becomes really
soiled, the only thing for it is to have
1t cleaned by a professional cleaner.
You may also wash your shade by
preparing a tubful of warm water thick
with suds of pure white soap. Then
immerse the shade and agitate it in the
water until 1t seems clean. Then get
q fresh tubful Of clear, lukewarm water
and rinse it thoroughly. Dry In q fair
" warm place-or at least dry rather
quickly. Any trimming that water
might harm should be removed before
this cleansing.

Spring Means Clothes.

A French fashion reporter observes
that Spring is, Of all seasons, the most
important to the woman who Is inter-
ested in clothes. since new dresses and
new hats have the power to rejuvenate
women Just as nature rejuvenates the
trees and fields and countryside. No
woman can really feel the spirit of
Spring without feeling a desire for
clothes that set of her own beauty or
good looks to best advantage.

BEAUTY CHATS
Scalp Treatments.

If you have dry or itchy scalp, split
hair or falling hair, know of no
treatment more helpful than hot oil
rub. Take a small amount Of olive oil
and add to it a few drops Of oil of
pine or oil of tar. Or make a mixture
of one-third crude oil to two-thirds
olive oil. Crude oil Is thick, like vase
line, and comes in little tin tubes.
Heat this oil in some small container
and keep It in a pan of very hot water
to maintain the heat. Part the hair in
the middle: rub the oil on just as hot
as you can stand it. Part the hair again
and rub on more oil. Do this until
you have completely covered the scalp;
then give the whole scalp a thorough
massage with the fingers. Incidentally
since the oil stains the nails. would
advise you to buy a pair of rubber
gloves, cut off the fingers and slip these
rubber fingers over yours before using
the oil
Having rubbed the oil in thoroughly
heat a Turkish towel and roll it hot
around the head. When it cools, heat
it again and wrap it around the head
The heat opens the pores Of the scalp
so that more of the oil is absorbed II
you have no time for this, sit and work
as near a hot fire as possible, so the
head can be kept thoroughly warm.
The oil should stay on the scalp a
couple of hours; but even half an hour
would be beneficial. II you shampoo
your hair yourself, you will have to
beat an egg, rub it over the scalp and

Everyday Psychology

Indexed.

This question is asked: Does not
every one have sort of private mental
index of himself, very much after the
fashion of business filing system?"
This question is just another way Of
raising the old problem of the sense Of
self.
A yes or no answer to this question
can be wrong and misleading Human
nature Is so variable under ordinary
life situations that it does not easily
yield to tabulation and bookkeeping,
even of a mental sort.
I think have noticed among young
people, however, a rather consistent
tendency to formulate mental index
of their abilities and what they hope TO
make of them. have also noticed that
they frequently change their minds
about the supposed verities of their
self-created estimations. A high school
girl wanted to be missionary, poetess,
or a nurse! Account for these vacilla-
tons and you account for the feelings of
inadequacy which come in the teens.
Explain these feelings and you account
for the vocational bafhementS which
arise between the ages of Is and 20.
Most vocational pursuits come pretty
close to being accidental. Life-planS
frequently hinge on very small con-
facts.
It's pretty hard today, when the
average human being really comes to a
full understanding of himself. AS one
man puts it: "A man has to be 40 be-
fore he is old enough to have sense
enough to know that he has no sense"
Psychological investigation has in
recent years made two important con-
tributionS to the psychology of the
sense of self. The most important fact
so far discovered is that the private in
dex or the sense of self is a semi-con-
scious sort of mental rating. The other
outstanding fact is that If it Is blocked
in one direction 1t easily finds sub
stitute. For example. young man who
found it impossible to finish medical
course turned out to be an oculist in a
State where the laws for such practice
were very lax.

Best Ways to Use Enamel Cloth
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

of just the coating. From this time on
the term enamel has gradually become
applicable to a variety of things. Teeth,
for instance, are said to have natural
enamel in The hard polished coating
OVERLAPPING them A very hard FURNISHED
varnish or lacquer finish given to leath-
er. cloth or paper comes under the detl-
milton of enamel. And finally there
comes a cloth with a finish that is i'm
pervious to water and which is pressed
onto textile whether it stiffens the tex
tile or permits 1t to remain flexible ana
whether it has glossy surface or not.
This is termed enamel cloth.
Enamel cloth is a direct descendant
from oil cloth which in England was and
still is sometimes, even today, called floor
cloth. This is because it was originally
intended for a durable floor covering,
with pattern, that could be used in
stead of carpet and be less costly. In
1847 a man by the name of Michael
Marin of England conceived the idea OF
mixing oil and cork fibre together with
various other less important ingredients
in such way that it could be applied
to canvas by certain process to make
superior and more durable floor cover
ing than the textile finish minus the
cork Various improvements have been
made over this initial process, but the
principle remains the same, though the
names of the finished products are d.
verse.
When this finish minus the cork was
so adapted and modified that it could be
made thin enough to be used as a water
proof finish for textile to be used for
other purposes than a floor covering, it
went by the name of table oilcloth. 1t
was stiff AMI would crack.
Today it can be had so flexible that
unless actually creased 1t does not crack
nor does it have to have glossy surface,
necessarily. This. the highest grade, is
termed enamel cloth. 1t is a labor-sav-
ing textile fo- kitchens and bathrooms
especially.
The uses to which this enamel cloth
is put are endless 1t is wonderfully
well adapted to covers for tables. It
has been utilized for kitchens and bath
room curtains It is a substitute for
leather, and in this form it is excellent
for the binding of cook books. To at
tempt to enumerate its uses would be i'm
possible in this article. 1t Is distinctly a
practical material and should be
esteemed for this reason, not because it
attempts to enter into competition with
fine textiles minus the finish. 1t now
comes in endless attractive patterns
even in damask designs, although its
correct use as a substitute for damask
pertains only to kitchen, cottage, and
camp requirements.
As will be seen enamel cloth is a SUI
perlor grade Of kitchen oilcloth, and it
is frequently called by this latter name,

A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN R. GUM.

There came wise men from the east
to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that
is born King of the Jews? For we have
seen his star in the east and are come
to worship Him. . And 10, the
star, which they saw in the east, went
before them, till it came and stood
where the young child was. When they
saw the star they rejoiced with exceed
ing great JOY" Matthew, iii, Q, 9, IL.
However men may explain the APP
pearance of the star these wise men
saw in the east and which led them to
Bethlehem's manger, there are many
stars in the heavens Of mans spiritual
sky which will lead to Christ all who
seek Him.
There is the star of prophecy. We
see it shining in the heaven Of the Old
Testament, and as We follow it we see
it move onward through the centuries
of Israels spiritual experience until at
last it stands over the cradle of Jesus,
in whom all the law and the prophets
are brought to divine fulflment. Ear
nest souls who follow this star will soon
be found worShiping at the manger Of
the Christ child, as did the Magi.
There is the star of spiritual aspi-
ration. It shines in the sky of a mans
life whenever his soul yearns for God
and truth and good Often it may be
hidden behind the clouds of sin and
unbelief, but presently it breaks through
and shines forth again. However often
1t may be obscured, somehow it is a
star that will not be quenched. Let a
man follow it and it will bring him into
the presence of Christ, in whom alone
the heart can find peace and satisfac-
ton.
And then there are all the stars of
Christian testimony and experience.
The firmamen% of the Church's history
is filled with an innumerable host of
these stars, and how clearly do they
light the way to Bethlehem. If seeking

WINTER
BY d. C. PEATTIE.
Shooting Stars.

This Winter was one of the shoot
ing-star years." and all through the
cold, clear nights astronomers have
been watching for members of the
swarm of meteors through which we
are passing. They want to estimate
their number and general direction
of flight. Certainly 1 cannot ever
remember having seen so many, but as
for counting, I soon gave up, and they
seem to me to fly in every direction.
Even among veteran nature lovers
there is a confusion in the use of
the words comet, meteor, meteorite
and meteorology Meteorology is the
study of the weather and comets are
rare self-luminous masses of matter in
a gaseous state with or without the
famous "tail'') which describe immense
elliptical orbits around the sun and
make practicable appearances, more or
less.
The difference between meteors and
meteorites is partly one of size, meteors
being smaller, meteorites larger. Both,
however, are chips or bits of celestial
metal flying through the air, which, on
striking our atmosphere, ignite from
friction. Meteorites often fall to earth
with terrific violence. I once knew a
man who spent great fortune hauling
tons Of these fragments to his private
collection in Chicago.
But meteorites are rare and solitary
and irregular and make tremendous
light in the sky, sometimes accom-
panied by roaring, while the swarms
of meteors through which we are travel
ing now go about in schools. like fishes,
and burn up into nothing so swiftly that
they are gone before a man may say:
Behold" Noiseless, minute, modest,
they are all ephemeral beauty. as we
see them from the earth. Their pecul-
lar fascination lies in the theory that
they are old comets which have split
or broken up into tiny fragments, for
they seem to travel in the orbits of
some of the "lost comets" that come
no more where they we're expected.
