WOM/ AN'S PAGE, Cutlery Racks and Scouring Boxes BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Kitchen cutlery deserves special care and consideration in the utensils that go into the equipment of a cuil nary department of the home. Unlike most other utensils, washing does not entirely cleanse steel cutlery. It has to be rubbed twiti some one of many different preparations until friction makes it shine. Some of the pieces are so sharp, or they should be, that they must be put away with great cara or especially protected. Other wise, where there are children, acel N WALL COV ND KEEPS BLADE; IN A S PLACE dents are liable ¥ not to happen that could prevented jus vell as us see WL the 15 br as burnished steel, as lies in our power, and he avoid having handles ge nd perhaps actually come off A simple device that any ndy with tools can make is a knife k. in which the blades are abso- lutely protected.

There must be space little more than the width of each knife, since the cutlery is placed in a single row, blades down, in the holder.

This need not be more than ouple of inches wide, perhaps le I'here must be room for the thickest Knife handle to slip down ensily with out touching the wall when the knife is put away To Make and Place Rack. The edge not attached to the board should have as many indentations cut from it as there are knives to go in the rack; the sizes of these indenta tions corresponding with the width of the various blades, fo h knife has its special place. ew strips of wood the same width as the top por tion from top piece along the inside of lengthwise edges to form sides. If the utside board is sufficiently long for s of the blades to be an inch the. so higher than the lowest edge, there be no strip of wood along the bottom of the rack. It is best not to have this end boxed, for no dust can settle inside the rack and desired pro- | tection is secured without it.

The box can be hung up as soon as the polishing operation is finished. It matters not if any powder sifts back into the box. It can be used next time, which is thrifty. Care of Handle Knife handles should never remain in water, or be allowed to get into very hot water.

They do mot denote favorable conditions, ndr ‘do.they in- dicate anything of an adverse .char- acter. Just before sundown, they un- dergo a very sudden change, 5 while they are not prolific of signs that presage business success, they do reveal the awakening of powerfui emotions, as the vibrations become distinctly stimulating. During the ¢ it is advisable to attend to your inary obligations in the customary manner, avoiding, if possible, the taking of any Important resolutions or the making of any drastic changes. In the evening, the best that is in you will come to the surface, and the op- portunity is an excellent one for put ting your love to the test, or of giving some unusual demonstration of affec- tion towards those you love and who love you. The physical future of the child born tomorrow is not left fit much doubt, given normal conditions. In spite of many allments during child- hood, it will attain physical normalc With regard to its character and temperament, it will be very respon sive at all times to external influences, and, when mirth prevails, it will be mirthful. If sadness sshould be the mood of its assoclates, It, in its turn, will be sad. This marked character- istic of “being all things to all men" has its dangers and pitfalls, and only person of a very strong mind can satisfactorily discharge this role. If you were born on the 3rd of June, you ‘are mot without ambition, al though vou do not apparently possess the energy or persistency necessary to attain the goal you would like, by easy means, to reach. You are not imita | tive, and possess a great deal of ori inality of thov which often leads vou into the rgerous path of u conventionality 2 and wi often cause and ¢ ciates to look askance at you. You are often imbued with a strong determination to make good at the task you may ve in hand. long as everything progresses torily, your enthusiasm does wane. If, however, difficulties not should be encountered, and obstacles arise, you are easily discouraged, be- come depressed, and yield to these transitory feelings, often to the point of giving up the good fight.
