It will make aluminum ware shine like new with the least possible work. It will take the black off of enamel ware without scratch- ing the glaze and is a marvelous metal cleaner. Any woman who has used it would never willingly be without it. - Of this I am sure Percolators, Tea Balls. The little percolators that come to put in ordinary coffee pots are other conveniences as handy as the tea ball for brewing the latter beverage. Either of these simplifies washing the pots which more than covers the slight extra work of washing the per- colators or balls. Many persons con- sider that percolator coffee is more to their taste than any other kind. One of the great advantages of the tea ball is that it can be lifted out when the tea has brewed the right length of time. This allows the tea to keep at the desired strength without gotting that bitter flavor that it ac- quires when the leaves remain in the water too long. . Dish Drainers. Dish drainers save more labor than would at first seem possible. We are considering them now as labor-saving devices rather than mere kitchen con- veniences When the housewife is | pressed for time she can stack the washed dishes in the drainer, standing plates, saucers, etc., upright in their designated places, pour scalding water over them, and let them dry without wiping. Silver should be drigd and glasses polished, but ordinary china, semi-porcelain and kitchen crockery can be dried without' wiping. One would scarcely choose this method of drying choice china. For one or two eggs it is What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE, Aries. The probabilities are that during the early part of tomorrow you will feel indifferent and not disposed to put your utmost effort into any task you may have in hand. In a way, this lack of energy and vim will prove a blessing in dis- guise, as the planetary aspects Indi- cate unfavorable conditions and counsel only the carrying out of those routine duties that will not brook delay. During the latter part of the day, the signs denote that, while there will be immediate urge to do things, the emotions will be strongly stirred, and a responsive- ness to all that is good and uplift- ing In your nature will be apparent. This is a good omen for either en- gagement or for marriage. A child born tomorrow will be ex- ceptionally healthy, robust and vigor-| ous, and will, in_ all probability, be! almost entirely free from sickness. It will, given the proper environ-| | ment, develop great physical strength| and be more adapted to outdoor than | indoor work. While it will, of course, outstrip Its fellows in all sports and | pastimes, it will not neglect study, |and it will possess a keen intellect {and quick mind. In all its works, |as in all its recreations, it will be | very intense, and always give of its | best to the immediate undertaking on hand. Tt will never do anything by halves, but will run the whole gamut. It| will be affectionate and sincere, loyal | and constant. 1f tomorrow is your birthday, you are fond of imagining a lot of things| ! that have never happened, and never | You are more than nor- | always on the | f ever, glimpse | the silver lining. You anticipate | trouble and disaster and cross bridges | long before you reach them. Vizual- | izing the future is a profitable oc- { cupation, but it is positively disap- pointing to have the vision dimmed by darkened glasses. The effect of vyour disposition is not only detrimental to your own interest but throws a damper on the enthusiasm and optimism of others. It kills hopes and destroys ambition, and, as & consequence, your friends are few, as no one seeks the com- panionship of a “killjoy.” If vou could only eliminate lugu- | riousness from your thoughts, you could, with your intelligence, mark- ed ability and loyalty, secure a full | measure of happiness and content- ment out of life. Well known persons born on this date are: Erastus D. Palmer, sculp- tor; Thomas Jefferson, Third Presi- dent of the United States; Alfred H. | Littlefield, former Governor of Rhode lsland; Daniel Draper, meteorologist; George H. Putnam, ‘publisher; Nich- olas Murray Butler, educator. (Copyright, 1925.) | mally disposed to look THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1925. COLOR CUT-OUT THREE SPINNERS. Now it chanced that the queen of the country was pessing that way and hedrd the lazy girl howling loud- ly. Wishing to find out what the trouble was, she ordered her coach stopped and entered the house. “What is.all this noise? demanded the queen. “Why does this girl ory? f Now the mother was ashamed to tell the queen that her daughter waw so very lazy, so she sald: “Oh, your majesty, my daughter is a great anxiety to me! She will do nothing all day long but spin, spin, spin. I have spent all the money I have buy- ing flax _for her, but still she wants more. This morning she asked me for money to buy more and I have none to give her. It is because of that you heard her crying just now.” This lovely dress is one that the queen gives the lazy girl later on in the story. Color it pink, with cap to match. Make the hair golden and cut out the blank space inside the dotted line, so the girl's face can show through. (Copyright, 1925.) = - — Egg Cutlets. Put two heaping tablespoonfuls of butter into a saucepan. When melted, 2dd two tablespoonfuls of flour, then gradually add two cupfuls of milk, boil for five minutes, stirring all the time; then add two raw yolks of eggs, remove from the fire, add two table- spoonfuls of cooked chopped ham, six chopped myshrooms, red pepper, white pepper, salt, and grated nutmeg to taste, and two chopped hard-cooked eggs. Turn out on a plate to get cool. Shape into neat cutlets, Brush over with beaten egg, toss in fine bread crumbs, and fry in smoking hot fat to a golden color. Serve very hot. — My Neighbor Says: When doing & large ironing you will find it a great help to have two or three iron. holders ready, so that you can change from one to the other occasional- ly. This prevents the hand from getting as hot and tired as it ‘would otherwise do. - To remove marks on paint which have been made with matches rub them with lemon, then with whiting and finally wash with soap and water. ‘When you give medicine read the label on the bottle, and shake the bottle before you pour it out. A useful precaution when bak- ing cakes, particularly where a gas stove is used, is to place the tin containing. the cake, which should have been lined, bottom and sides, with white oiled paper, inside another tin, with a layer of sand between the two. This will keep the bottom from burn- ing. A ce of ham can be broiled or baked. Any that is left over can be ground up and served with cream sauce on toast. Busineas .= |DorothyDix) It Is Her Predestined Lot That the Fifty-Dollar-a- Week Woman Shall Yearn to Marry the Thirty-Five-Dollar Clerk Tells Why Girls Want to Marry $6WHY do not more young Women choose & business career {nstead ot matrimony?”’ asks a man. Because, my dear sir, God made women to be wives and mothers in- stead of merchants, bankers and brokers, and the call of nature is louder than the voice of ambition and the promise of profit. Home is woman's country, and it is the Promised Land toward which her feet are instinctively set. HERE are many women who have actual financial genius. There are plenty of girls who have far more talent for business than their brothers have. Nearly every girl who makes her own living will tell you that she enjoys commercial life. She enjoys going downtown of a morning to a busy day. She gets a thrill out of matching her wits with customers and clients and bullying and jollying them into doing what she wants them to do. She likes the feeling that she is part of a big enterprise, and she glories in the thought of being able to stand on her own feet and the freedom that her financial independence brings her. EVERTHELESS, no matter how successful she s, no matter what reward she can see awaiting her at the top of the ladder, she never has the slightest intention of sticking to her joh to the end and espousing a career instead of a man. Her.dream is not of being a Hetty Green, but of being Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Smith. ¥ 1t is because girls 10k upon their work as & mere temporary affair, a sort of stop-gap between the schoolroom and the altar, that most of them are so ineflicient. They have no idea of making a life work of it, and so they do not think it worth while to learn to do it properly. « e s e Y employer will tell you that his invaluable, private secretary, who has every detail of the office at her finger's end, or his inspired buver is a woman who is past the marrying age. It is only when men look like customers instead of sheiks to a woman that she begins to make headway in her career. She can't keep one eye roaming around for a husband with- out having the other eve miss most of the good business opportunities. Now, no one will deny that the best thing that can happen to any woman Is to marry a good man. There is no happiness so pure and ideal as that, of a perfectly mated couple, who make a little heaven on earth in thelr home. Also it {s true that when a woman marries & rich and successful man she makes a ten strike and achleves a triumph far greater than she ever could have won by her own efforts. Very few women have ever made a million dollars themselves, No woman has ever been President or Ambassador to the Court of St. James, but many women have married the riches and high places they could not have earned by themselves. It every girl thought that she was making a big match it would be easy to see why she passed up good business prospects for-matrimony, but the majority of girls who give up their jobs to get married are under no delusion whatever about what they are doing -and the sacrifices they are making. ‘They have seen Sally, who used to look llke a dally hint from Paris when she earned her own money, become shabby and seedy as a poor man's wife. They have seen Mabel of the dancing feet, tired and worn and bedraggled, pushing a perambulator. They have seen the light-hearted Maud, once the life of the office, with her laughter silenced, her spirit broken with wrestling with the price of butcher's meat and the rent problem, and trying to make an insufficient income cover the needs of a growing family. o s o e HESE girls know that when they marry poor men their fate will be like that of their sisters, and their cousins, and their aunts, vet they go to it. Business has killed their belief in fairies and Prince Charmings who miraculously develop into multi-millionaires. They know just exactly how much the men they marry earn and how far it will go. \ They know that the girl who exchanges a mahogany desk for a gas range makes a losing bargaln, from a practical point of view. They know that no clerk, no stenographer, no factory operator works as many hours a day as the domestic woman does. They know they will have to labor far harder in their own homes than they have ever done out of them, and that there will be no pay envelope at the end of the week. vet still they are bent upon matrimony, just because it is their predestined fate, the thing for which nature created them. It is a sure, deep instinct beyond all reason. may be miserable married, but they will certainly be miserable if If the girl with a good job could only content herself with it, and wait to marry until she could better herself; if the woman who has no attraction for men could only find an outlet for her interests and ambitions in business, instead of eating her heart out in bitter repining, it would make enor- mously for the happiness of the feminine sex. But apparently this is an impossibility. The $50-a-week woman marries the $35-a-week man and is peevish and discontented ever after. And the prosperous old maid envies her sister with a husband who starves and beats her. . And there you are. And all we can do is to pass the buck up to nature. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1925.) Pistory of Vour Name. BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. HUBBARD VARIATIONS—Hubert, Fitzhubert. RACIAL ORIGIN—English, SOURCE—A given name. Hubert is one of the old Angio- Saxon given names which survived the influence of the Norman invasion, not in this case in spite of it, but probably in a measure because of it, for Hubert was a Norman given name as well as Saxon. was the ancestor of our modern “bright” and in Germany found its counterpart in “brecht.” It became a family name through its use to designate parentage, at first either with the ending “son” or the Norman prefix “Fitz,” which. Inciden- tally, was the form into which the old Latin word “filius” finally became shortened and twisted through the successive influences of Celtic and Teutonic tongues in northern France Hubbard and Hubert, of course, are but variations of the same name. (Copyright, 1925.) Curried Mutton. Cut slices from @ cold roast leg or The Normans were a Teutonic race, though they had adopted a tongue as the result of their invasions of north- ern France which was a form of Latin developed first under Celtic influence and then under that of their own original Teutonic speech. In conse- quence, though the language they spoke was practically the forerunner of modern French, their nomenclature remained more largely Teutonic. The name means, literally, “bright- hued” For “hiewe’ was the Anglo- Saxon forerunner of our modern word shoulder of mutton, free them from skin and put them on a plate. Chop one onion fine and fi it in one table- spoonful of melted butter, with one tablespoonful of chopped parsiey. When a golden color, add two tea- spoonfuls of curry powder, one table- spoonful of chopped chutney and one cupful of stock or gravy. Make very hot, then add one heaping teaspoon- ful of flour, oge chopped apple, and cook for 10 minutes, then add the sliced mutton, make hot again, and serve with a border of well boiled MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. One mother says: My children drink a great deal of water, but unfortunately our kitchen faucet is so high they cannot reach it, and I often had to leave my work and get them water. Then I placed a low wooden stool, made of an old chair, under the sink. They can now slide it out and wait on themselve: (Copyright, 1925.) Some lady came to ees ma this afternoon, being a wide lady with a green hat named Mrs. Piper, and her and ma tawked about different sub- Jecks sutch as wy different people ever married each other, and how ixpensive it {s to bring up growing children wen you never know wen their going to get sick or how soon their going to grow out of their clothes, ma meening me and Mrs. Piper meening her boy home.
