All nature is full OF variety
why not you?
How tired we would become Of
our surroundings if it rained every
day, if the sun shone constantly,
III it were always hot or always
cold, if the trees always had
leaves, and the wind never blew
or blew every minute of the day.
Natures greatest charm is her
infinite variety: The bare, stark
trees in winter, their first blush
of green in spring, then blossoms
and handsome leaves; the snow
covered earth and suddenly a cro-
Gus peeping through: a dry dusty
road and tropical downpour; the
first frosty breath of fall; plains
and mountains and the sea in all
Of its moods! All these give life
color.
Yet we become as fixed in our
habits Of thought and personality
as we do in physical habits such
as posture. We would not want
to do without the dear. expectable
and dependable qualities of those
we love. for individuality is made
up OF a combination of certain
unique and non-changing charac-
teristics, but this does not mean
that there can be no variety.
We can threaten those we know
to an unexpected blossom of hum

MUSHROOMS.
fFrom B. S., Alernndrid.)


If you want to raise mushrooms
easily. you can order two flats
from just about any seed house
that puts out a catalogue. Two
cost about 81. You should send
right along so you will have fresh
mushrooms for Christmas You
should start only one. 1t must
be kept in a cool. dark place and
covered with a cloth which you
should keep damp. This goes on
for about four weeks and nothing
happens. Then one morning you
will find the dirt covered with
what looks like mold. In a day
or two you will have mushrooms
and as you go on you will have
more mushrooms. It's quite fas-
cinating. One fiat will continue
for a couple Of months and in the
meantime you can start&he other.
They do not grow during hot
weather.
The best part about these mush-
rooms is that they ore ripe when
you pick them and taste complete
ly different than the store kind
that are picked green. Il you
have ever gathered mushrooms
in the fields and know the good
ness OF them you will realize that
the mushrooms you grow have
the same flavor. There is only one
suggestion. Manage to put the
flats where you don't mind people
seeing because the utter fascina-
tion OF growing mushrooms will
find you displaying them to any
one who will look.

Why Grow Old?
Strive for Vurietv

or. to sudden sunshine after the
storm we blew up, to a new view
point once in a season. We do
not always have to say the same
thing in answer to the same ques-
ton. We do not have to remain
in the same mental straight
jacket. We can at least get a new
one of different shape.
The charming woman is full of
variety and changing moods. A
woman becomes humdrum and
makes life humdrum for those
about her if she does not have
a change of pace in her make
up. She is the gay companion at
one time and the understanding
listener at another, the solicitous
mother and the attentive wife, the
student and the jazz band, all
rolled into one.
In looking for ways in which
to improve your personality, you
will find yourself adding new in
terests and activities to your daily
life. You will discover yourself
making new friends and looking
at life from another's viewpoint.
This will open up a whole new
magic world, make life more in
teresting for you, and believe me,
1T will keep you young.

CrinoIine-Huppy

Gals can be happy these days
that they have crinoline to bel
out their new full skirts. Back in
1840 the tremendous skirts were
supported by as many as seven
heavy petticoats. These were
lined UP in a very specific order
and in winter petticoat No. 2 had
to be flannel Ito protect them
from the elements. Since fan
mel was not very exciting, the
ladies of the day boosted their
morale by making that petticoat
of a brilliant color which is per-
haps the source of the vivid pet
ticoat we see under our double
Skirts this year.

DEHUMIDIFIER

fFrom Mrs. J. P. B., Arlington.)
Miss R. c.. Washington. BY all
means get an electric dehumidi-
fier if you have a damp. musty
basement. We got ours in April
and turned 1t on just before the
dampness had a chance to get
a start. Our basement has been
a pleasant place to be in for
the first time in years. We
bought ours at the well-known
mail order house on Wisconsin
avenue. It is not noisy and not
expensive to operate. We let ours
go twenty-four hours most days
and the average amount of water
taken from the air in that length
of time was eight quarts. Even
the floor of our home benefited
from having the dehumidifier.
We were told that it is a good
idea to turn it on during the
winter months just for a short
time. A good time would be on
wash day.
PROBLEMS?
(From Mrs. H. L. F., Alexandra. J
I would like the recipe for max
ing Limpa bread. It is some kind
of Swedish bread, think, made
with oranges. I want to try it
out on my Thanksgiving company.
Would some one please tell me
where I can buy loops for making
potholders? I believe it is some
where in Virginia, where they can
be bought by the pound. With
Christmas coming. I'd like to try
my hand at a rug, If possible.
Has any one solved the problem
of putting towel racks on tile in

chased two racks that came with a

CHINA VALUE?
From Mrs. w. H. p, Arlington.J
I recently acquired some china
from Czechoslovakia and am in
terested in knowing its value. It
bears the letters SMF In a shield
and the word "Schramberg" under
the shield. Is there a reader who
is familiar with this china and
whether it has any value from an
age standpoint and is it considered
good china?

told Birmingham is a wonderfully
friendly and socially correct town.
I have also heard their school
system far surpasses many in this

nation came to me from an edu-
Gator who has taught all over
the United States. so I am salts

love to know more about the cli-
mate, shopping, housing, best resi-
dental sections, churches and liv-

Why do my biscuits have yel-
low specks on top and through

NEEDLEPOINT DESIGN.


For c. S. S., Washington. The
following information on needle
point design was picked UP from
my own experience as an artist
in a needlepoint shop. One makes
preliminary designs first in wa
ter color on brown wrapping
paper. When one is acceptable,
one paints the outlines heavily
in black ink or paint. Next. this
is placed on a drawing board and
the needlepoint canvas tightly
thumbtacked over it to the board.
It is usually advisable to have a
straight outline on the wrapping
paper regardless Of its real shape
to get the canvas straight by, and
to black in this outline heavily too
to fit a thread or space Of the
canvas along. Next, one paints
the outlines on the needlepoint
canvas as seen through in black.
This sometimes takes imagina-
ton and good eyesight as each
u inch cannot always be seen
distinctly.
Some, but not much attention
is paid to the canvas squares
the real skill having to be taken
by the sewer in making good
shapes. When the outlines are all
on the canvas, the piece is un-
thumbtacked and the wrapping
paper design removed to copy the
color from. More paper is placed
under the canvas-perhaps news
it is thumbtacked
back on the board. The colors
are painted in with oil paint or
waterproof ink and the piece is
left to dry. Before commencing
the sewing, it is well to bind off
the edges with piece of tape. In
choosing the wool or silk for the
this Is the most i'm
portant part of all-go slowly, US
ing about 8 shades of each color
for an average piece.
In elaborate work, dozens of
shades are used in each color and
blends made by unraveling a
strand and replacing one or more
threads with another. Be sure to
use the right ply wool to cover
the canvas, and hide the design.
In designs using very pale colors,
it is necessary to make the out
lines light or in pencil so they
will not show through the sewing.
Be sure to get enough contrast
between the outlines and back
ground and also be sure to sew
correctly on the bias and not on
the straight of the canvas, for it
makes much nicer work and lasts
longer. Be sure to have enough
wool, particularly for the back
as another dye lot is not
likely to match If more must be
bought at another time. In
answer to your last question, of
course there are enough wools
available. If by any chance, you
are not able to find them to your
satisfaction, I should suggest
sending your design to a needle
point house and letting them pro-
vide you with what you need. I
hope this is of help to you.

To What Depths
Can Man Stoop :?

Can you imagine a person so
small they would take penny from
a crippled child?
That is exactly what happened
when some unknown person took
the miniature iron lung from the
counter at the confectionery store
at 1895 East 10th st. sometime on
Friday, February 9th. The ''lung"
was the container for gifts to the
March of Dimes campaign.
Mrs. Julius Ungar, proprietor,
reported to police that she missed
the container in the early evening
hours. She did not know how much
it contained. But, whatever the
sum, it was the gift of persons
interested in helping polio victims
regain their health and the normal
use of their arms and legs. Imagine
taking money donated for such a
humanitarian cause!

New Fuel Bus
From Windermere

Cleveland Transit Systems first
propane-powered bus will be in op-
Grafton soon. The board has ap-
proved the purchase of such a
fueled bus from the Twin Coach
Co., Kent, Ohio, at cost of SIC, 900
and will experiment with the new
equipment which is said to operate
on a 25%o cut in present fuel costs.
Inasmuch as Cleveland prohibits
the storing of propane in that city,
the bus will operate from Winder-
mere Station in East Cleveland
where leased fuel tank is being
installed. Propane powered buses
may operate on Cleveland streets.
Propane, a by-product of refin-
ing oil and natural gas, is stored
under pressure, and is conveyed to
the bus tank on the same principle.
