Us
Teens
By Vol

BOBBINS BOBBIN'-The fast
shutting being performed by bob
bins on family sewing machines
may be laid to Teens who are
busily stitching to get back to
school. Right when you think you
don't need a thing" it suddenly
occurs to you that all your clothes
will look horrible when compared
with the perfection artists who'll
return to school when you do. A
stitch in time will save nine later.
Summer style patterns you
have on hand look marvelously
chic and transformed in dark
winter cottons. You can make
nothing but skirts if you wish,
buy blouses and sweaters and have
an abundance of outfits-pencil-
slim gabardines. with or without
Sits: the new beautiful plaids in
wool, draped, straight or full.
Straight-skirt jumpers and suits
with French collars are seW-proj-
ects among Teens.

FALL COTTONS - Crease-re-
Sistant cotton is Teens favorite
fall choice for many reasons &.
Material comes with classic bor-
ders where horses, for instance,
will show up prancing about your
skirt hem. PaStels are disap-
pearing and in their place are
the cotton plaids, bright reds, dark
blues and greens. IrideScent cloth
will get its play in school clothes.
GLORIFY-your plain black
pumps for evening wear by getting
two long suede or kid laceS to go
under your instep, cross over it.
then cross behind your heel, then
back again to tie. There are doz-
ems of ways to lace them up the
ankle. and they give that Grecian
look to your feet.

GOT A STAMP?-Prepare for
the pests at school. Remember the
boy who can never be bothered to
buy postage, but writes dozens OF
letters to girls in his home town?
He just smilingly asks for stamps
day after day from the same pals.
They finally ganged up on him and
refused to give him any. Worst
pests are money borrowers, Gig
arctic scroungers. Boys and girls
who carry cigarettes say that some
fierce smokers never even expect
to buy any all year! They sys-
tematically make the rounds.

and in spite of being permanent
finish they hung Imply at the
windows a week after being put
up. I followed laundry directions
carefully but they didn't stay
stiff. Has any one been success
full in laundering such curtains
so that they stay stiff? If so. in
what manner? Was starch added?
What about the new plastic starch
for organdy? Any suggestions for
speeding up the lengthy ironing
process will be appreciated.

DRIED STRING BEANS.
From Mrs. A. H. O., BethesdaJ
To Mrs. C. v. E., Washington:
So you, too, remember mama's bag
of dried beans. I grew up on
farm down in the Shenandoah
Valley and that bag of dried string
beans is one of my fond recollec-
tions. This is the way we did
them. String and break as you
would to cook, then they were
spread very thin on paper on the
attic floor and left there till they
were quite dry. We did not cook
or even wash them before drying.
Washing would cause them to mil
dew if any water was left on them.
They were thoroughly washed and
then put to soak in warm water
over night. Removed from this
water they were ready to cook.
Write to me in care of RICH if you
would like to know more about
them.

 "Heaven?" queries the worn working man, Give me my own business, my own salary, my own hours, and whole gang to boss, and I'll call it real heaven"
 Eternal health!" "Eternal youth" Eternal freedom" These must be heaven!" cry the sick. the aged, the persecuted. Surely we all have our own ideas of what heaven should be. And just as surely those ideas, how ever extravagant. can never ap- proach the peace, happiness, joy, and bliss of mans reunion with his Maker in heaven.

 HIGH SCHOOL
 On Dec. g, 1917, British expe- ditionary force led by General AL lenby advanced from Egypt into Palestine. He was joined by an Arab army and defeated the Turks. The city of Jerusalem was captured without a battle.
 The following students made the perfect attendance roll for the last six weeks: George Bell, liar old Bell, John Bell, Clara Brown, Thelma Cobb, Juanita Fagerstrom, Shirlee Fricke, Olga Hay, John Hudert, Clara Jorgensen, Peter KoWchee, Joan Longley, Mary Louise Lyle, Donna Miller, Ray mond Miller, Vernon Olson, Clar- ence Willoya.

the Cross redeemed mankind, thus opening the gates of heaven to every man who "doth the will of my Father who is in heaven"
 And twas Christ Himself who told us, as related in the Bible, just what the will of His Father is. For instance: Baptism, belief, wor- ship, fast, penance, eating His flesh, drinking His blood, sum- ming it all up with the obligation "to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" CMatt. 2S:2O.
 The way to Heaven, according to the Catholic Church, is not a moving stairway of mere belief or acceptance. It is, rather, a long, spiral staircase. winding up and up and around and around. Co., operating with the grace of God, each of us can mount to the top; but, knowing the right way, if we deliberately refuse to exert our Godgiven energies, we shall slide back and back, ending perhaps in a spot devoid of joy, peace, health, youth, freedom and-yes, even a single lollypop.
