FEATURES: WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN, Cloth From Hair. It is not strange that hair, the nat- iral covering of animals, should. from mmemorial, have heen used in o making of textiles. Certain kinds as the hair from goats, have adaptability for spinning and ving; and others, such as rabbit hair or fur, which cannot be spun an still be used as felt. The hair rom which clothing is made today in- cludes mohair from the Angora goat, cashmere from the Tibet goat, alpaca from Hamas, and the hair of rabbits, heavers, dogs, cats and of the horse, ow and camels What's the difference, perhaps you ask yourself at the yard goods coun- ter, between the cloths that are made from hair and the ones that are made rom wool? And which, therefore, is the better buy? Now, the chief hair and wool soft and wav difference between is that wool is fine, while hair is straight- er, smoother and stronger. Halr is longer, too—sometimes as much as 20 nches in length. It is difficult to d termine at just what point the anim fiber coases to be hair and becomes wool, for the transition is a gradual me. Probably the harsh carpet wools more nearly approach hair than do any other woo As to whether the cloths made from hair or the cloths made from wool are preferable — that depends upon purpose. Certainly vou will pre- the woolen ones when you want warmth. He broadcloth obvi- ously, much warmer than the silky air. This is largely due to the “felting” properties of wool, Wool felts” because of its numerous scales, which catch on to each other to form a solld mass; while hair is practically scaleless. The hair cloths have the advantage of great strength. Being straight and dry, they shed water and dust, tao, and do not wrinkle easil The most important hairs for cloth making are those of the Angora goat and of the camel. Camel’s hair makes a soft, durable cloth, but a compara- tively expensive one. You will usually find it in natural tan shades, since it neither bleaches nor dyes well Camel's hair cloth is often made with a large proportion of wool. The Angova goat hair goes mostly to the making of mohair, probably Le most important hair fabric. It \lso makes the brilliantine, alpaca nd the Sicilian cloth, which are so ~imilar to mohair. Of the four, buy nohalr and*® brilliantine when you BEDTIME STORIE Safe, But in Trouble. Who holds his ton e will nothing say He will i Tegret some future day ~Happy Jack Squirrel. little tree.

One of the most important things to remember in buying mohair and the related fabrics is that you must on the lookout for defective d This is due to the fact that the coarse hair, sometimes found among the ordinarily soft fleece of the An- gora, does not take dve well My Neighbor Says: A soft varnish brush with a string or wire through the han- dle to hang it by is a desirable utensil in every pantry to be used for brushing bread, rolls and pastry with melted butter. A new range should be very gradually heated to prevent the possibility of cracking. In vleaning real lace spread it out on a sheet of white paper. Cover with fine calcined mag- nesia, place another paper over it and press between two pages of a bulky book for a day or two. - The powder may then be shaken off and the lace will be quite clean. Copper kettles or other uten- si that have “become dull or blackened by contact with the fire are most easily cleaned with a lemon cut in half, dipped in salt and rubbed over the sur- face. of the metal. The article so cleaned must then be washed with water to prevent the acid eating into it. 7 Pour boiling water over lem- ons before using. This will double the amount of juice they will otherwise produce. It very frequently happens that new kid gloves are split the first time they are tried on. This can be prevented by plac- ing them between the folds of a damp towel for an hour or so before they are worn. The moisture stretches the kid, so that the gloves will give to the required shape without split- ting. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS and call him names until at last he grew tired of the sound of his own voice. Then he began to think about getting back Yo his home. Of course, he expected to get there by jumping from tree to tree. He climbed up a little higher and looked to see how far it was to the next tree. It was then that he made a dreadful discov- ery. It was then that he understood Reddy Fox didn't go away and why Reddy grinned. He was safe for the time being, but he was in trouble. He was & prisoner in that little tree for as long as Reddy Fox chose to remain there. Reddy saw the look of dismay on the face of Happy Jack and the.grin cn his own face grew broader. That was a small tree. It was.hardly big enough to be called a tree. It wasn't big enough to be at all comfortable. None of the branches were big enough for a fat, gray Squirrel to hide be- hind. When he realized this, Happy Jack looked about anxiously. Sup- posing Terror the "Goshawk should come along! Supposing Reddy Fox should keep him there until the Black Shadows, came creeping out from the Purple Hills and Hooty the Owl should start out hunting! Happy Jack shivered at the thought. It was quite plain that Reddy Fox had seen at once that Happy Jack was a prisoner in that little tree. Alrealy it was late in the afternoon Reddy knew how afraid of being out after dark Happy Jack was. “T'll just keep him up here until the Biack | Shadows come. Then I'll go away and hide where he can’t see me, but where 3 watch him. He won't dare stay up in that tree, and he'll try to reach another tree just as soon as he thinks it is safe to. Then I'll have that fat Squirrel dinner that I just missed getting,” sald Reddy to himself, So Reddy curled up at the foot of the tree and walted until the Black Shadows came creeping into the Green Forest. Then he got up, stretched, yawned and trotted off as if he had decided it was useless to stay there any longer. He didn’t once look back. But the instant he was where he knew Happy Jack couldn’t see him he turned and crept to a place where he could watch and where he knew he | was near enough to catch Happy Jack | before the latter could reach another | tree.

In planning a diet for use after an operation for gall stones, give only very digestible meats, omitting pork, eggs and fat-fleshed fish. Indigesti- ble forms of fat must be omitted, but butter, cream, vegetable oil and beef fat may be used with discretion. Sweets must be omitted. Stewed sweet fruits may be given, If for any reason you must use sugar substitutes, apportion these very carefully. In large quantitles most of them are actually harmful to the body. They are used in diabetes in spite of the possible bad effects of large quantities because in proper quantities they help to fight the dizeas While many believe that diet need not be considered in cases of epilepsy others feel that a vegetable diet that s poor in salt and free from purins s the best. 3 When planning vegetarian diets aken is L study the wariety of dishes possible from different forms. of cheese.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are not very favorable during the early part of the day, but improve much in the afternoon, and in the evening they are excellent. During the morning the ordinary avocations of your life should “receive your attention with- out any adventuring into fresh fields or pastures new. The afternoon and evening will be found very propitious for all recreative amusement and social intercourse. The vibrations of the evening are particualrly strong and thus afford a wonderful oppor- tunity, if it be so desired, of putting Yyour faith to the test, as under such conditions it st impossibie to conceive of a It is also a| valuable occasion for marriage, as the | gigns indicate fe of harmony, con- | tentment and happiness. A child born tomorrow will be prac tically immune to infantile sickness lop into a healthy mem of community, both physi- cally and morally. Its disposition will be a happy-go-luc one. and it will be as indifferent to success as it will be to hardship or failure. It will be very truthful, amusing and frank, and, owing to its outlook on life, will attract to it many friends. It will also inspire a deep and abiding love, and, although it may not attain much worldly prosperity, it will always be happy and with a smile meet every difficulty that may beset it. If tomorrow is your birthday yo integrity is undcubted and your char acter is based on good fundamentals You are very persevering as well as persistent and never abandon a task until it 'is completed to your entire satisfaction.
