WOMAN’S PAGE Job of Covering the Ironing Board. BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Covering the ironing board is a task that housewives dislike. It cer- tainly is an awkward job at best, for the board is an ungainly kitchen furnishing. It is kept out of sight except when In use, partly for this reason and partly to keep the cover clean. This last is essential if we would have our laundry satisfactory. It is impossible to get the same good results when pressing on a board TO BOARDS 3. HELD SECURELY IF LACED ON THE UNDER SIDE. is poorly covered and badly rched as it is when the cover fits and snugly and is spick and span. Before the outer cover is put om, board must be well padded. Wad- BEDTIME STORIE Race for Life. Who finds he cannot_stand the May by his wit Fel win the ruc " Jumper the Hare. These were hard times for every- body. Perhaps this isn't quite true. There were a few who, like Prickly Porky and Paddy the Beaver and Jerry Muskrat, had little or nothing to worry about. Living on bark, Prickly Porky could always get a g00d meal when he needed it. Being THEN WHEN OLD MAN COYOTE WOULD COME IN SIGET JUMPER WOULD RACE AWAY IN A GREAT PANIC. Yrotected by the thousand little spears in his coat, he was afraid of no one. Paddy the Beaver and Jerry Muskrat, living in their snug houses and get- ting their food beneath the ice, didn't even know it was bad weather. They didn't have & single worry. Butl| with the others it was very different. Jumper the Hare could find enough to eat, but he didn’t know a moment of restful peace. Hunger Kept his ene- mies constantly searching for him. He never moved without the feeling that the next second he might have to take to his long heels for his life. Reddy Fox. 0ld Man Coyote, Yowler the Bob Cot, Terror the Goshawk and Hooty the Great Horned Owl spent a great deal of their time hunting for Jumper. He slept with one eye open, as the saying is. He would jump at the sound of a bit of ice falling from the trees. Late one afternoon Old Man Coyote caught the scent of hare as he was trotting along in the Green Forest. Instantly he stopped. That scent was so strong that he knew that Jumper was close Very patiently and stealthily and carefully he began to Tunt for Jumper. Jumper kept as still as he dared to. Because his coat was as white as the snow on which hie sat, he could not be easily seen unless he moved. Twice Old Man Coyote went right past within a few feet of Jumper and did not see him. But the third time he came that way he smelled Jumper and headed straight for Jumper's hiding place. Jumper walted as long as he dared 1o and then, with a great jump, away hie went. 01d Man Coyote was after him in- stantly. If the snow had been soft, Jumper could have escaped without zny trouble. But it was covered with an icy crust, and on this Old Man Coyote could run as easily as Jumper. Now Jumper Is one of those foolish people who, when they are fright- ened, lose their heads, as the saying je. If he had run easily, he could have tired Old May Coyote out. But he dldn't run easily. He ran with all his might until he was out of breath und had to stop. Then when Old Man Coyote would come in sight Jumper would race away again in a great panic. The result was that after a while he ran a much shorter distance each time. He was growing tired. 0Old Man Covote didn't seem to be tired at all. Jumper saw this and it fright- ened him more than ever. He trled all the tricks he knew to fool Old Man Coyote, but: Old Man Coyote wasn't to be fooled. He understood cvery trick that Jumper tried, and as ck after trick faileg.Jumper. began ¢ | siven’ names have left their stamp. ‘ded material and extra heavy ma- chine knit goods can be bought for the purpose. This is not necessary, however, though it simplifies the preparation of the board, of course. A strip of old carpet makes an excel- lent foundatio: The carpet should be washed (if a plunger is used this is not hard) and be perfectly clean before it is fitted and fastened down with tacks on the under side of the board. Old blankets make fine foundations and old quilts may be used, providing the filling has not become unevenly distributed. If so the quilts are absolutely useless as padding for ironing boards. An ab- solute essential is that the founda- tion cover be perfectly sm oth. Smooth Padding. This matter of smooth padding cannot be too strongly emphasized. Any unevenness will make lines in the articles being pressed. These lines are not to be confused with wrinkles accidentally = pressed into garments when ironing them, and which can be dampened and ironed out. Not 8o these lines; they will re- appear whenever the iron passes over that place In the board. This makes it easy to see why every cover to the board should reach from end to end and from side to side and be put on absolutely smooth. KEach strip of material must also 'be tight enough to prevent its wrinkling. Plecing the foundation fabric must be avoided, as seams, wrinkles and ending of materials leave their impress on ironed garments. Make Ends Smooth. It is important to have the smal] end of an ironing board as flat an smooth as the rest, for many gar- ments are ironed over this end. The perfect smoothness of the larger end is not so imperative, but is desirable. The foundations are tacked down, for they are not removed unless worn. Because’ the top cover of the fron- ing board should be taken oft fre- quently and washed, it is wise not to tack it to the board. There are sev- eral ways of managing. Speclal fas- tenings for these covers may be bought. These are apt to have spiral springs In thejcenters and prong or clip fastenings at each end. The springs are strong and hold the mate- rial taut when the fastenings are properly adjusted. Homemade Fastenings. It is possible to get the same result by a little ingenuity on the part of the housewife. Spiral springs can be bought separately at any hardware store and they can be used as fol- lows: Sew strong brass rings to the sides of a very heavy plece of un- bleached. cotton cloth so that”two of these rings come opposite each other. Lace the cover on the board by run- ning tape (or twine) through the rings and through the loops at each end of the coll of wire. There should be two tape laces, one for each side. At the ends of the cover sew several rings with Intervals between them and lace with the tapes. To make these ends fit well the lacing should be tight. The resistance of the springs will help hold the cover in place. If you prefer, the tapes may be laced through the rings from one side to another and the springs be omitted. It takes but a few moments to lace these trim covers on to iron- Ing boards, and even less time to take them off. BY THORNTON ¥. BURGESS to be in despair. He couldn't fool Old Man Coyote and he couldn’t tire him out. What co do? H must find some place" he coul get into but that Old Man Coyote couldn’t get into. That was the only way he could save himself. But he was so_frightened that he couldn't think. It began to look very much as if Jumper the Hare was running his last race. (Copyright, 1925, by T. W.

Tt is rather difficult to classify the variations of this family name with 1y great degree of accuracy accord- ing to racial origin. Variations of the name are to be met with fn vir- tually, all lands where Teutonic In a rough, general way, however, it would be safe to assume that the form Brandt {s German. The final “dt” indicates that. Bransen, again, looks like a Scandinavian form, with its final “sen” instead of “son.” But it might also be Dutch. The rest of the variations might be either of straight English development, or English developments of family names imported from other countrie Braun, and Bronson, where they are not attributable to different sources, would indicate Norman- French influence on the Anglo-Sax- on given name of “Brand,” while the form Brander seems quite clearly a development of the basic form of the glven name “Brandt This ‘Brander” was a more com- mon ndme among the anclent Danes and Scandinavians than among the more southern branches of the Teu- tonic races. Its fundamental mean- ing is “flame,” but at an early; period it took on, allegorically, the meaning of “sword.” This was but the same poetic tendency that some- times makes us speak of a “flaming sword.” And, indeed, we still some- times upe the word “brand” amd “branding-iron.” As matter of fact, our very words “burn,” “bru- nette” and “brown,” are but different developments of this same word- root.

Tomorrow’'s aspects are until sun- down exceptionally good and dis- tinctly favor all efforts that demand a fresh outlook and exceptional energy and that savor of progress and Wde- velopment. Speculation and hazard- ous ventures are, under any circum: stances, doomed to failure. The signs indicate a remarkable degree of ulti- mate success for any enterprise re- lated to science or scientific research. In the evening there is a definite re- | action, and the prevailing vibrations will engender a feeling of dissatisfac- tion with what you have accomplished during the earlier part of the day. If you malntain, however, an equable frame of mind and do not allow pes- simism to engulf you, it will bs easy to overcome this passing’ cloud and continue the efforts begun so aus- piciously. A child born tomorrow, althoush bearing all the outward signs of strength, will be more than ordi- narily subject to the vicissitudes of infancy. The most careful nutrition and clock-work methods will have t: be given and observed in order that this child may attain that physical condition that is desired for it. Its disposition will be rather peevish, and it will merit, even in early childhood, the distinction of having an old hpad 'avge jwill ned® no urgéto ‘or studly. ‘It will*want) to do nothing else. Every effort must be made to compel it to associate freely with playmates and to take part in their pastimes. It will be very loyal and affectionate, and will only know one real love In its life. If tomorrow is your birthdaj anni-, Versary, you have a very pleasing personality and are a voluble talker, if not a convincing one. Your educa- tion is of the superficial variety, and although you are able to converse on many subjects, your knowledge of any one of them is quite limited, as you lack either the ambition or desire to delve deeply You are naturally kind-hearted and aftectionate, and are always ready to extend a helping hand to those of your friends who may need it. In fact, you are too prone to assist others, and in doing so often neglect your own interests or those of the people who have the first claim on you.

To remove perspiration stains from clothes, soak the garments in strong ealt water before laundering them. ‘When purchasing material for upholstering purposes, always choose a close weave and look for the absence of long, loose threads on the surface. Highly enameled surfaces should be wiped with a soft cloth wrung out of tepld water. A small quantity of neutral white soap solution in the water can be used if there are finger marks or other grease spots, but do not use a strong soap, for alkalis are ruinous. To keep polished furniture free from spots, rub with a plece of soft silk saturated with petroleum ointment. Beéswax or mutton suet may be rubbed around boots and shoes in wet weather to keep out the dampness. To preserve kid shoes rub them at night with a little petroleum jelly and polish them in the morning. The treatment applies to patent leather. Try filling the cavity of the apple cored for baking with orange marmalade and a little butter and sugar. Chicken Souffle. Procure two cuofuls ‘of cold roast chicken, one-fourth cupful of cold boiled ham or tongue, five tablespoon- fuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one-half a cupful of cream, three-fourths cupful of chicken broth, one-fourth cupful of chopped nut meats, salt and paprika to taste, and four eggs beaten separately. The chicken, ham, or tongue should be chopped very fine before measur- ing. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, add the chop- ped meat, and stir over the fire until the butter is absorbed. Make a sauce with two tablespoonfuls of butter and the flour broth, and cream. Pound the meat in a mortar, adding the sauce. Press the whole through a fine sieve. Add the nut meats, sea- sonings, and the yolks of the eggs. Mix ‘thoroughly and fold in the whites of the eggs. Bake in a greased dish until firm in the center. Serve with mushroom or tomato sauce.
