This is the one time in all the year when the hands must be most tenderly and carefully protected. Later on they'll be hardened to cold weather, but not yet. These days red, chapped, painful hands are sure to come if you | do not look to them properly. Protect them out of doors with thick, loose gloves. Thin kid, so snug over the hand as to impede the circu- lation, will make them chap more readily. Thick, washable suede, qu: er ze larger than you usual take will be smarter to look at, loose gloves being more fashionable now than tight, and will keep the hands warm and protected. Thick capeskin will do, too, and silk or wool lined for ery severe weather will save you much discomfort. Indcors, do your work with gloves on, for washing or other housework takes it eut of them too. Do your dishes always with rubber gloves on, and while you are thus protected, do whatever Scrubbing or wet work you may have. I've found it a good plan to smear the hands with lard h(-fn\fe putting them into the gloves, as this feeds the skin and Keéps the nails fresh and helps with the manicure, all MARSHALL. minutes in one’s rooms. Sometimes the neglige was worn with one of those much-ruffied, long, silk under- skirts that every woman wore. The neglige jacket of today js the bed jacket—and there is increasing demand for these garments. I be- lieve they have always been more in demand in France than here—per- haps because bedrooms are not so well heated as are our own and partly because French women of leisure seem to be more inclined to lle in bed—taking their breakfast coffee, or chocolate, reading their letters, inter- viewing servants and tradespeople, making out shopping lists and figur- ing out household bills all cozily tucked in bed. Some bed jackets are rather too long. They are right when they come just to the bed covers when one sits up in bed. They should be roomy enough to permit of being slipped on and off quite easily and should have snapper, hook and eye, or some other closing device—that {s of course un- less you have a brooch or bar pin that you want to use for that pur- pose. One maker of flne lingerle and negliges makes these bed jackets ex- actly to match the nightgowns with which they are to be worn—a flesh- colored crepe de chine trimmed with Valenciennes lace to go with the flesh- colored crepe de chine nightgown trimmed" with Valenciennes lace, and a black georgette and satin to go with the black georgette and satin pajamas. This is a pleasing idea, but not always very practical, since often one wants a bed jacket of considerable warmth, or one trimmed with mara- bou or light fur to give comfortable sense of warmth about the neck and arms. For quite cool weather a little bed jacket of velvet or velveteen does not come amiss, though some women may prefer a more practical ma- terial, such as cashmere or French flannel, which can be had in charm- ing colors and combines well with marabou.

Clean white canvas or cotton gloves | should be put on next, for the oil in he skin will make the hands dirty while you go on with your work. |Even dusting dirties the hands, and | makes black ridges under the nalls, after which they must be washed with hot water and lots of soap to get them clean, and in this process some of the oils, naturally, are taken from the «kin, and the hands chap more readily when you go out of doors.

It is the custom fn this country, as it was In medieval England, to name a child after some ancestor, saint or prominent man. This was also a custom among the Gaels. Both both the Irish and the Scots also had a custom they often followed {of naming a child with a compound ame, the meaning of which was ‘“ser- vant of —-" combined with the name {of the great personage selected. Thus la child named after St. Patrick was sometimes called just Patrick and sometimes ‘‘Servant-of-Patrick.” It should be explained, however, that there is no true equivalent in Eng- lish for the prefix that they used. The nearest you can come to it is to say that it ‘combined something of the meaning of “‘servant,” “admirer.” As a matter of fact there were no servants in old Ireland, with the exception, perhaps, at certain periods, of slaves. The clan system developed loyal followers who served their chiefs often in more or less of a menial capacity, but this form of service was considered an honor to be sought after, and was not under- taken in a servile manner. There was nothing even indirectly involuntary about it. “Giollchriosd” was a given name which meant “Servant of Christ.” Among others, a chieftain, who was the brother of the founder of “Sean- laoch,” the O'Shanly clan, bore it. This “Giollchriosd” or Glichrist, was 'the founder of the MacGillechriest line.

We take these materials so as a matter of course that we sometimes lose sight of important facts that should be remembered in connection with thelr joint work when they are brought togetber to produce a loaf of bread. History tells us that even when the daughter of Pharaoh found Moses in the bullrushes grain was in use for bread making. From that day until our own, when almost perfect flour is produced quite as a matter of course, there have been some Interesting d velopments in the manufacture of this important foodstuff. There are simple tests for selecting flour when bread is made at home, although in passing it may be interpolated that the wise woman buys most of her bread. Good flour is slightly creamy in color. When rubbed between the fingers there should be a distinctly granular feeling. In taste, it is nutty, and when placed under conditions where absorption of moisture is in order, this absorption should be con- siderable. Good flour contains the necessary quantity of gluten, and its individual particles should be, as one writer expresses it, “vaguely distin- guished.” White flour contains a little more than 13 per cent water, 76 per cent of starch, a little more than 10 per cent of proteln or body-building ma- terial, 4-10 per cent of mineral salts and 6-10 per cent of fat. The body-building part of the flour, or the protein, exists in the gluten. This is an elastic substance and be- cause of its power of expansion it makes the foundation of the loaf of bread. The study of the number of proteins or body-building substances present in various forms is important. Now yeast. For this important ele- ment of our loaf of bread we have to thank a slave at the court of the Queen of Sheba. This man, we are told, accidentally left a mixture of flour and water exposed to the sun and air for a period of time. When the “dough” was baked the world had its first loaf of leavened bread. The yeast-making industry, however, did not thrive at once and, like the history of flour, forms a story in itself.” Today, when we use the com- pressed yeast which we know so well, we have several tests to apply. First, when it is broken the break should be clean without an opening of the cake. It should be brittle and na- turally free from spots or dark colors. For a number of years yeast has been known to the medical profession as an effective remedy for boils. It is only within a comparatively few years, however, that we have learned that this property owes its existence to the vitamins contained in the veast. Since this interesting discovery was made the use of veast as a remedial agent has extended considerably, being u ful in certain forms of indigestion and constipation. Without salt, bread would lose much of its savor. The exactly right pro- portion of salt in baking will regulate the fermentation so satisfactorily that what used to be known as having good luck with one's baking is very much more apt to follow. ‘Water, or the foundation liquid used in bread making, is usually one of the most important elements. It may sound a bit odd, but water is impor- tant because of milk. In other words, while very light bread may be made with merely water as a founda- tion lquid, the entire nutritional value of the loaf depends on gombin- ing this water with a goodly propor- tion of milk. and this isa general prac- tice today both at home and in the shop of a good baker. Finally comes the fat or shortening. In early Roman days vegetable oi were used in making bread, but so rapidly has the art of making shorte ing advanced that today we have a number from which to choose. Some of those are vegetable, some com- bined animal and vegetable, such as lard and cottonseed ofl, and again there are persons who prefer to use a mixture of lard and butter. It {8 the shortening in the bread which makes the crust tender and keeps the loaf moist. What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Capricorn. The planetary aspects of tomorrow are, although slightly adverse during the early hours of the morning, quite favorable during the remainder of the day. They will inspire self-confidence and courage—two necessary qualifica- tions for the attainment of success. ‘While commercial enterprise and re- search work seem to be most favored by the signs, all legitimate work, as distinguished from hazarduous or speculative effort, will be crowned with fortunate results. The indications point, also, to happiness for all those who are wed tomorrow. Children born tomorrow will, ac- cording to the signs, suffer more or less from the usual ailments of in- fancy, and proper alimentation will be needed in order to secure for them & happy issue out of all their troubles, and the attalnment of a normally healthy majority. In character, a boy will be fearless, self-confident and ex- ceptionally aggressive. He may, in fact, become something of a “bully,” but proper disciplinary guidance will tone him down, and the very attributes that mey be liabilities to & child may prove to be assets to a man. A girl will be winsome, sympathetic, none too strong-minded, and a trifle ‘teary.” She will be easily influenced. If tomorrow is your birthday, you are absolutely without fear. You are bold, at times audacious, and untir- ingly energetic. Your nature s in- herenty intuitive, and you possess considerable latent talent. 1f you are not the success that you have had reason to anticipate, it i{s because of the fact that you have directed your energles In the wrong channels.

And the child can do almost anything he wishes to do. But a sick child can do about noth- ing at all. His body keeps calling for | attention and he cannot get outside it. A child can pay attention to| just oné thing at a time, and if his| head aches, or his ear aches, or his | stomach aches, or his eyes run tears, he cannot learn. If he has a cold he may | just as well stay at home until he is better. He learns nothing that day and he is likely to make other children ill. Keep him at home until he is well. Health is the greatest blessing you can bestow upon him, so work hard to capture it for him if he was not born with {t.

The instant a girl makes the an- nouncement to her friends that she's serfously in love with a man, that she honestly wants to marry him, she's grected on every side with the warn- ing: “Oh, my dear, be careful. You've known him such a short time. Are you sure you love him? Are you sure it isn't just infatuation,” etc. She hears this on the average of seven thmes per diem, and she gets pretty fed up with it; also, if she's a sensitive person, she takes it very much to heart, and asks herself a thousand times: “Am I sure? Do I really love him?"” But now, why in the world don’t the wiseacres make the same fuss when a maiden decides to break off with the erstwhile sweetheart? Why don't some kind souls whisper in her ear: “Be wary Don't take a false step. Are you sure you can get along without him? Isn't your breaking off rather the result of a slight misunder- standing? Aren't you perhaps over- obsessed with the idea of popularity, 80 that you hate to give up all your other beaux for the sake of one man? Make sure before vou tell him it's all over. So many girls lightly throw over their faithful swains, and spend a long time regretting the action. Just because nobody’s warned them that they're taking a- serfous step, they give a careless shrug, write the old-time beau a brief note, and look about for new conquests. They figure complacently that if they find they really love the cast-off they can easily call him back again ‘when the need arise: That’s where they're often Wrong.
