34 WOMAN’S PAGE! Sewing Machine Used for Mending BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Mending can be simplified in many instances by doing it on the machine instead of setting the stitches by hand. It is surprising the amount of mending that can be turned off in “his way in an incredibly short :ime. To ba sure, this machine mending is not fine and dainty, but it is strong and| slightly when properly done. It is Jjust the thing to use when mending holes in towels, especially Turkish MACHINE MENDING IS RECOM- MENDED FOR ROUGH TOWELS towels. It is admirably suited to ding ordinary cotton sheets and kings.

Then he went back to the barn and | got a big old cart wheel. This he rolled over to the same place. Then, with saw and hammer and nails and braces, he went to work. He fastened | that cart wheel to the smaller end of that pole, and he took pains to see that it was rely fastened and 1 Then he be- ime he had been watched Striped the Red Squir- with the Ohipmunk, Chatterer veliest curiosity | Farmer | bourne.

No appliance Is needed to hold the work when mending on a sewing ma- chine. However, an embroidery ring will be found useful. A very small size 1s used when darning stockings, and for this particular sort of mend- ing the ring is essential. This is he- cause of the difficulty in keeping the rest of the stocking from getting un- der the needle without a contrivance of some sort to stop it Darning by Machine. To darn stockings, wind the bobbin with the usual darning cotton, mer- cerized, silk or wool, and thread the machine with cotton to match. Ar- range the place to be darned so that ti comes as nearly as possible in the center of the ring. leave the presser foot up, run the ring under it and start the machine. Keep the ring moving from one side to the other while stitching, for the presser foot will not do_this, as it is up. Make the lines of stitching straight with the weave of the stocking threads Finish them in one direction before starting to stitch across them. Al- ways move the work one stitch to- ward the right or left (according to the way you are working) before starting another row of stitching, so that the lines are kept straight Otherwise the stitching would come fo a point whenever the change in direction was made. This sort ofy darning is admirable for children’ stockings, especially where holes g of them tedl- ous. Towels, Sheetx, Ete. holes in towels and “other s but a few moments, and, as said before, no ring is actually needed. The work must be held very stralght, even and taut, so that it will not ker. 1f held loose, it is sure to ker, for the machine stitching is only sven as the move- ment of the hands in gently pushing the other. Do not ex- pect to he stitches themselves even. TI not at all necessary What is important is to keep thg lines of stitching fairly even. A little prac- tice will perfect this. The darns in Turkish towels and in rough weaves into the fabric and are searcely discernible Fine Thread for Napery When darning holes in tablecloths use a very fine thread for b and mend carefully, the stitches are lost as much as pos- sibla in the design of the cloth. Rents <heets and pillowcases can be ended satisfactorily by Do not expect the darnir as fine or as soft by hand. It is recommended for time-saving value rather than for any beauty or other merit. However there are hundreds of instances where machine mending is all that an ar- pbbin and needle so that invisible | ticle warrants. When it comes to mending lace of a rather coarse or ‘heavy sort, ma- chine darning is just the thing. The lines of the lace can be followed ad- mirably with the stitching, the de- can be filled in while the meshes n be left. In this lace mending not only is time saved but results are often quite od as when the work | is done by hand BY THORNTON 7. BURGESS couldn’t guess what it could be for they were rather suspicious of it When at last Farmer Brown's Boy spped digging he had a deep hole. |2 hat hole puzzled the hidden watch- ers quite as much as did the queer thing he had made. All of them had a look at it while Farmer Brown's Boy was back at the house. Presently he-returned and with him was Farmer Brown.. They brought ropes and pulleys Farmer Brown's boy climbed a stout tree and high up in this he fastened a pulley. Through this he ran a stout rope. One end of this was fastened pole on the ground. Then Farmer Brown's Boy and Farmer Brown began pulling on that rope. Little by little they raised the end of that telephone pole, to which the cart wheel had been fastened. It was hard work. But at last they suc- ceeded in getting the big end of tha pole into the hole Farmer Brown Boy had dug, and there was that pole standing upright with the cart wheel at the top. Then Farmer Browrn Boy packed earth in around that pole until it was standing there as solidly | as if it had grown there He climbed the pole and took off the rope, and he climbed the tree and took off the pulley Then he and Brown went back to the house. They had turned their backs when the eager, curious little tchers came over to examine that eer thing. What could it be for? Not one of them could guess 2 is harmless, anyway,” the Crow as he perched the rim of that cart wheel (Copyright, 1925, by T. W.

WHEN you open a2 can of Snowdrift you scc why Snowdrift was named Snowdrift. Its whiteness does not make Snowdrift pure, but its purity is onc reason why Snowdrift is so white. Snowdrift is made of oil as good as fine salad oil—refined by the Wesson Oil people to a degree of purity and goodness that we do not believe is attained by any other fat. When this pure, clear oil is hardened and whipped—somewhat as you beat the white of an egg—it makes Snowdrift a creamy, fluffy whire fat.

Rule*Lin baking this new kind of Soda Cracker EDDING cake and the bride's biscuit are often far, far apart, but these differences simply prove that dough is the mother of both success and failure. Dough is the raw material oi a great art—baking. It is a study ; for dough has a distinct structure. It may be tough, tender, Sold only in the bright red package short, brittle, shear or silken. But for this New Sunshine Soda Cracker it must be silken, for this is the way to secure just the right puff—the true ‘‘bite,”” and most of all, the fullest flavor—in baking. Good cooks will endorse the Full Grain Process If baking isn’t an art, fallen cakes and heavenly pie crust couldn’t come from the same cook. Uniformity is the key to all successful baking. You get the process right, and then hold it, no matter what the conditions are. The ““how’” of this is thereal difficultys In baking the new Sunshine Soda Cracker it means: Special temperatures strictly held, no matter what the weather; A brand new way of working the dough so that it can’t possibly toughen ; A different method of cutting the biscuit; Most careful watchfulness at the ovens; Just the right percentage of gluten in the wheat. The outcome of this process is a new kind of soda cracker, full- flavored, rich, of fine texture and good looks. The flavor of this cracker owes much toitsshape (patented). The motched sides form vent holes in. the shest of crackers as they bake. This assures through and through baking.
