some talents that vicissitudes develop.
How many people with an artistic
talent have developed it because they
must nave money and to have it they
must work hard There are others
that nature brings out, like the talent
for being a mother, the talent for
cooking and tor making q home"
These Miss Angel seems to consider
just as important as her own talent

it." She patted her curly chestnut
chair with a small, expressive hand.
1t seems that diet takes no part in
her life. She is concerned more
with adding weight.
Perhaps you can tell me how to
put on weight?" she asked, hurriedly
adding, II won't eat sweets, because
I don't like them, and l can't rest
because there is so much to do" This
is the only drawback SO far that
she has found in developing her

He holds only one tenace. He will in
evitably be the declarer, nevertheless
The correct bidding would be: One
club, one diamond, three no trumps,
all pass.
The play was also slightly individ-
ualiStic. In every case the opening
lead was the jack of spades. After
winning with the ace, some declarers
based their hopes on a diamond split
| They even laid down the ace and
queen, preserving the ace of clubs for
a re-entry into dummy. Alert Vests,
in with the king of diamonds, shifted
to small heart. and the result was
two-trick set for South.
Other Souths gazed with fond pride
at the club suit. They entered dummy
with the ace of clubs and took a dia-
mond finesse on the way back. The
same heart shift defeated them one
trick.
Once West had failed to open
hearts, I should breathe a sight of
relief, and attempt to make three no
trumps without going after six. After
winning the first spade lead with the
ace, would lay down the king, and
| get rid of that bothersome ace of
clubs in the dummy, while I still held
shoppers in hearts and diamonds. That
method of play will bring home four
no trumps in top-card tricks. Mr.
Schultz, at the end table, may make
five by taking the diamond finesse
but I intend to safeguard my con-
tract, no matter what course others
may take
incidentally, two unfortunates stag
gered into five diamond contracts and
were defeated the customary one trick
There is very good play for five dia-
monds, even with the horrible trump
distribution, if the king of clubs is in
the West hand

Everyday Psychology

Diversion.

IF YOU are pessimist you will
= agree with those philosophers who
hold that we take diversion to escape
life. If you are an optimist you will
agree with those philosophers who
hold that we take diversion in order
to get more life.
Why diversion, anyway? We need
it in order to shift the center of
gravitation. Working at one job all
the time makes us sore in the spot
where the burdens of life press con-
stantly. As a child, the one big am
bition was to get off all-fours and
stand erect. That was diversion.
Then came the craving for long
trousers and long skirts, for suspen-
ders and rouge. These make one
feel different, for the center OF mental
gravity shifts to new plane. Put
your feet ON your Office desk and the
heart gets a rest. The center OF
gravity for the blood Is shifted to an
easy flood-plain. Sleep comes about
for the same reason.

get tired Of = one thing because our

Bobby Coon.
~ OBBY COON had gone down
- the Laughing Brook until
finally he reached the upper
IL edge of the Smiling Pool. 1t
was a perfect night in the
late Fall. The Smiling Pool was
flooded with moonlight. Farther up
the Laughing Brook he had met Billy
Mink, and they had done little fish
ing together. At least, they had both
caught fish. Billy Mink in fair chase
and Bobby by scooping out some min

Billy. So Bobby was feeling in fine
spirits as he sat there looking out
over the Smiling Pool.
Jerry Muskrat ought to be out on
such fine night as this" thought
Bobby.
AS if in answer silver line started
out from where the Black Shadows
lay on the farther side of the Smiling
Pool and moved rapidly toward where
Bobby was sitting. In a moment or
two he could see a small brown object
moving along the surface. and he
knew it was the head of Jerry Musk

Hello, Jerry" called Bobby as soon
as the former was near enough.
Jerry stopped swimming and looked
to see who had called to him. Making
sure who it was, he swan to tuSSock

on it. Hello, yourself" said he.
What are you doing down here!"

piled Bobby.
Il didn't expect to see you again

"Vale of Tears" "

THIS phrase, commonly used meta
phorically for the earth and the
trouble of its human occupants, is
said to be a modification of the ex-
preston. Gate of Tears" which is
the name of passage into the Red
Sea so Strewn with rocks as to have
caused endless shipwreckS and giving
rise to this depressing appellation.
However this may be, there is to us
a more logical origin for this express
sion. That is. that the source is IN
the poetical fancy of its author, James
Montgomery, in the poem entitled,
THE Issues Of Life and Death" Here,
we have the actual use of the phrase
in the verse:
Beyond this vale of tears,
There is life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years,
And all that life is love-"

storing unit, where fudge and pop
corn can be made on rainy days, cold
drinks can be made in hot weather,

Sunday night suppers the year round
can be produced as if by magic.
New Kitchen Equipment.
Wooden table ware, including mix
ing bowls, salad trays, sandwich plates,
relish dishes and table service, are
having a wide appeal to housewives.
Some of the ware is composed of diff
ferent kinds of wood Frequently
wood is combined with aluminium.
There is a waffle iron. equipped
with an automatic heat control that
maintains any desired degree of heat
within the entire baking range Be
cause it is Enthusiastically controlled,
it is possible to make a perfect waffle
every time and never make mistake
| The heat control may be set for
| light, tender waffle or for one that is
dark and crisp. An indicator shows
when the appliance has reached the
proper temperature for pouring the
| oatter, which eliminates all gueSswork.
Most waffle irons are now available in
non-tarnishing chrome plate, with

packed, a whole gross in assorted sizes,
in a book box. which prevents mutt
lation. Round coaster pads of alb
sorbent paper also come packed in
boxes and are of various colors.
Gas Stoves, Refrigerators.
The most important development in
gas stoves hinges on round aluminium
burners. These burners have two-in-
one feature, combining full flame
| and a simmer, which reduces the con-
sumption of gas. Under the old sys-
tenn vegetables were boiled in cooking.
Under the new system they are
steamed. The vegetables are brought
to boil. then the high flame is
|
spreading even, controlled heat across
the bottom of the kettle. The food
cooks rapidly and thoroughly without
waste by loss of water The vegetables
do not fall to pieces and the food
value remains intact. Automatic gas
stoves have been developed along two
definite systems, one with an auto
matte clock, the other to be used as
fireless cooker.
Gas-operated refrigerators check up
monthly fuel expense estimated be-
tween go and 70 cents, or thereaboutS.
These boxes constitute one of the most
economical of all means of refrigera-
ton. Experts say that heat of any
kind could operate one of these boxes.
The ice is formed by chemical means,
when heat is applied at the generating
point in the box. Each box is
equipped with a safety device that
shuts off the gas at the box intake,
affording the owner security, should
the city supply of gas be shut of
temporarily and then returned to the
pipes.
Electric Servants.
Any housewife can make her kitchen
al-electric and the last word in beauty
and efficiency. Double convenience
outlets in her electric wiring system,

THE arms of Cheney shown here
= were used by Lord Toddington. Sir
Henry Cheney. and are considered by
Burke to be the original of all the
various shields used by Cheneys.
Another coat of arms more widely
used by different branches of the
family is described Azure, a cross

William Cheney was an early rep
resentative of the family in America
and was a resident in Roxbury, Mass,
as. early as 1899. His brother, John,
was also in Roxbury for a time, but
later moved to Newbury, Mass Lam
bert Cheney, who was born in England
in 1898, arrived in Salem, Mass, in
1880. From there he went to Water
town and in 1885 settled IN Dedham,
Mass.
Cheneys also resided in Pennsyl-
vania near the Susquehanna River
about 1850. They were no doubt de-
scendants Of the New England family
From Pennsylvania, Cheneys moved
southwark and westward. The name
has been spelled CLANCY by some
branches of the family, although an
other family spelled CLANCY is a sep
arate and distinct line
Revolutionary records give a long
list of Chanys, Chaneys, Channys and
Cheneys.
The surname is derived from the
French word "chene," meaning an oak
tree, and "chenaie," meaning a grove
of oaks. The name appeared in Eng
lish records as early as 1866, when
Cheneys undoubtedly followed William
the Norman on his mission of con-
quest.
The Cheney family in England for
long time centered in the manor of
Up Ottery, in Devonshire, England, an
estate acquired by Sir Nicholas Cheney
in 1907.

Modern dining rooms have con-
venient outlets to operate a toaSter,
percolator and waffle iron. The bath
room should be wired for heater and
curling iron, according to the demands
of new home builders Each bed room
should accommodate a heating pad
and a reading lamp.
One of the most novel recent elec-
trical developments is the individual
percolate coffee right in the cup and
ready for use. Thirty seconds after
the percolator is immersed in cold
water the water starts to circulate.
Normal-strength coffee is made in
about four and half minutes. The
water, however, never comes to a boil.
A popular design consists of an i'm
mersion tube with perforated alumni
mum basket to hold ground coffee.
The cover attached to the element
forms top to the coffee basket, while
supporting legs sustain the entire
device.
| An electric casserole, obtainable at
any store dealing in modern household
equipment, is one Of the most impor-
tant aids to housekeeping. Insulated
for flreless cooking, this casserole does
a perfect job on stews, pot roasts,
baked beans and countless other
dishes. 1t can also be packed up
handily for outings.
One of the most outstanding de-
partures from household drudgery to
be found in the modern home today
is the electric dishwaSher, most types
Of which, essential units of the all
electric kitchen, wash all dishes in less
than five minutes without human
hands touching the water. Such de-
vices check the spreading of mouth
born bacteria and save more time in
the home than all other domestic
motor-driven appliances combined
They operate for less than 1 cent a
day. in some cases, and there are sizes
and models for every home.
Perhaps the most amazing adjunct
to housekeeping produced by modern
science is the new f1at-type ironing
machine. With practice, the house
wife can iron every type Of washed
article on this device. Assembled in

THE setting for present-day
Housekeeping efforts forms the
most astonishing contrast
Il with the past that science
is capable of providing. The
old adage, Man works from sun to
sun, but woman's work is never DONE"
has been modified, thanks to modern
science, working in cooperation with
the housewife. One after another,
odious tasks have disappeared from
her daily routine, until today her
methods of keeping house hint of the
magic of an Aladdin's lamp and she
shares with science the credit for the
changes in the process of house
keeping, for many of the improve
ments have resulted from her sugges-
tions.
The housewives general health is
improved by practicable and economi-
cal systems of weather control, pro-
duced by the laboratories of heating
and refrigeration industries and avail
able to her, systems by which humidity
and cleanliness, as well as the tenn
perature of the air in which she
works, are automatically adjusted and
maintained throughout the year.
The modern housewife can add
greatly to her comfort, by INSTALL
ing a new metal sink where the old
one stood, the right height for her
to work at comfortably; supplying a
new automatic control stove, electric
refrigerator, extra drawer and cabi-
net space, new linoleum on the floor
and new asbestos WainScoting which
looks and washes like tile, and by
doing so, make her kitchen a place
where visitors will want to gather.
Automatic and thermostatic control
regulates her fuel consumption to
actual needs, which means savings
in fuel which her predecessors, strug-
Cling firewomen of the past, threw
away.
HumiGifiers, within reach of her
purse, contain extensive air-condi-
tioning equipment. and are replacing
the old-time radiator. Her model
kitchen can be further improved to
include such silent servants as me-
chanical refrigerator, electric or gas
oven regulator, pop-up waste and
spray dishwashing connection, power
dishwasher and dumbwaiter, for
service or fuel
Attic and Basement.
When the housewife wishes to re-
model her home, she has at her dis
posal, in any good store, paint, the
formula of which manufacturers have
changed in recent years in order to
get a professional effect from an
amateurs brush. She simply cannot
60 wrong with such paint, with its
easy spreading qualities and absence
of streaks or brush marks afterward.
She can also enjoy the thrill of
creating lovely and individual effects
in painted furniture, which provides
one of the smartest notes in the
homes of today.
She has learned that she can put
her attic and basement to work, too,
by means of materials quickly and in
expensively obtained in the leading
stores. Insulating boards and paint
can transform any attic into an at
tractive study. The desk and type
writer can be moved to such a study
from the crowded living room, and
with bits of furniture everywhere OBJ
tainable, the attic study is easily
transformed.
Rumpus rooms in Easements are the
very newest things. Science, through
the medium of good stores, provides
an elaborate bit Of machinery for such
