Patch- ing seems to he the one and only way 10 make it wear longer, yet patches to know of them. The mending does not detract from the original beauty of articles. It can be used to especial advantage in lingerie when the worn parts come under the arm or along the top of garments. Fortunately these are two places where lingerie is apt to get worn, so the distinctive patches prove decidedly good and thifty needlework. If 'a chemise or costume slip gets stained or wears out in either of these places, cut the whole top off in a straight line. Make the cutting deep enough entirely to take away the bad parts. Hem the new top of the gar- ment and replace the needed part as directed below, Mending Fabrics. 1f the garment is silk use silk for the mending material. If not. use a fabric to match the article. It may be in the same color, or it may be in some pastel shade that contrasts, for two colore are combined in new lingerie in the way this work is to be done. Cut a strip the same si as the one taken off, allowing for a narrow hem on one edge and a wider one at the other for a drawstring to be run through. Seam widths and make hems. Setting on New Stuff. Join this piece to the top of the garment with a strip of insertion. Or baste the edge of the garment to stiff paper. Also baste the new top portion to the same paper. leaving about one- quarter inch between the two edges. Be sure that the seams in each por- tion come opposite one another. Use a crochet silk or highly mercerized erochet cotton and fagot stitch the two edges together. Sew on shoulder straps In places corresponding to those on the old discarded top portion. Run ribbon through the top hem and the garment will look like new. This method is used for finishing many new pieces of lingerie so the old article should look like new. Net, Lace, Etc. A wide plece of fine net may be used for the straight new portion. Fell it on to the top of the garment or use a French seam. Finish the top with a hem for the drawstring, or use a lace-finished beading. If some of the best parts of discarded por- tions are cut into small squares, dia- LINGERIE CAN BE RE- TO STORE REAUTY BY_ THE MENDING AND PAT‘I‘H! N are unsightly—that is, unless unusual methods of patching are used. But monds or circles and blanket stitched on to this footing at intervals, a smart effect is gained. A very wide lace may be used for the top portion in place of the net. Easy Mending. An easier method of renovating underarm worn places s to cut out pleces shaped like a half moon (or half of a dress shield)and fell it down on the garment under the arm. Cut away the stained or torn part. Turn in the under side to make a fine seam and fell to conceal raw edges. Occa- slonal new pieces of lingerie have re- inforced underarms, done in this way, so that this form of mending there are such methods and it is well simulates the finish of new garments. 150 YEARS AGO The Origin of the U. S. A. BY JONATHAN South Carolina Sets Record. CHARLESTON, S. C., March 26, 1776.—South Carolina established a new record today for governmental turnovars. This merning its central executive hody wae the Provincial Congress. This evening itx affairs are in the hands of a_General Assembly and a Legislative Council and it also has a constitution, a president and commander-in-chief and a vice presi- dent and it will soon have a chief justice. All of this was accompliched With dignity as well as dispatch, with a complete absence of turmoil and confusion and practically without de- bate, even though the revolutionary leaders are far from agreement to the question of declaring inde- pendency of Great Britain. Today's developments were in line with the recent advice of the Con- tinental Congress to the various C onies 1o establish new governments free from all responsibility to the King's authority. Yet the new consti- tution, according to its own wording, is to continue in effect “until the 21st d. of October, next, and no lonzer. This is a concession of the Radicals led by Christopher Gadsden and William Henry Drayton to the Conservatives led by John Rutledge. 1t i= to allow for any possible accom- modation with Great Rritain, hope for Qur Children— By Angelo Patri Fasting.

The Gen- eral Assembly immediately elected the Legislative Couneil of 13 members and then these two branches of the new regime elected the president and commander-in-chief and the vice pres. ident. John Rutledge and Henry Laurens were elected to these offices on the second ballot. President Rutledge’s speech of ac- ceptance well expresses the spirit of the day's proceedings. “The being called by the free suffrages of a brave and generous people to preside over their welfare,” he sald, “is, in my opinion, the highest honor any man can receive.

FOOD AND HEALTH BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS. Food Specialist. Once upon a time there was a wom- an possessed of an inordinate fond- ness for candy. She knew that she was eating too much of a food that, properly used, would have heen a wholesome addition@to her diet, and, like the vacillating lady in the song, the burden of her plaint was, *“What shall T do?’ What she actually did do was to determine to use saccharin in her coffee 80 as to make it possible, according to her reasoning, to indulge with a free conscience her fondness for confectionery. Whatever else may be said of this woman's experiment, it at least pos- sesses the element of originality. It is doubtful whether others have follow- ed, to any great extent, just such a line of reasoning. Does this woman’s reasoning stand the test of sound dietetics? Probably the best plan is to begin by asking ourselves about saccharin. Without touching upon the well Wn controversy that raged around the point as to whether or not sac- charin is safe for human consumption, we may at least state one thing posi- tively and without qualification—sac- charin is a drug used, not for food purposes, but as a makeshift measure for those suffering from disease. Is it not common sense to reason that, since this is the case, one would be very foolish to load the system with a drug that can never be anything other than safeguard for diseased conditions, and may very possibly work harm to the systeny” Furthermore, the fact that the can- dy lover realized that she was eating too much confectionery points to the probability, at least, that she was in danger of some form of disease that is sure to follow the use of too much sugar. Whether she was actually in danger of dlabetes is not the point at present, but it is a fairly safe assump- tiom that this disease was lurking in ambush ready for an attack. It seems to be easier to work out a program of self-planned penalties than to pay that of conforming to natural laws. One cannot but wender why! A steady keeping within the law of diet brings its own rewards, however, and it may be that to emphasize it is to perform a much needed service to our indulgence-loving hrothers and sisters. If our candy-loving lady, for in- &tance, had. in the beginning kept to her reasonable and normal allowance of sugar she would have found that the curbing of cravings for excessive quantities would have worked well in the interests of her diet as a whole. She might have been so careful to in- clude in her ration the right quan- tities of fruit sugars and of starch as to make her svstem quite satisfied with reasonable amounts of candy. When the craving for large quanti- ties of candy seizes upon one it means elther that the diet is deficient in en- ergy for normal living or that one is facing a period of forced work, when the supply of energy must be quickly increased to meet the sudden demand of tofl. If the first of these conditions pre- vails the remedy is very simple. One should analyze his diet very carefully, submitting it to the tests imposed by accepted standards and revising it ac- cordingly. This wijll probably mean an increased supply of fruits, of well made bread, of fresh butter and of other energy-vielding foods. It will not by any means imply a cutting out of all candy. On the contrary, unless disease has developed, the normal candy ration will be more enjoyed than’ever hefore, ¥ As to the second cohtingency, the demand for forced work, it must he admitted that for those in normal health it i= occasionally justified to indulge in a generous treat of candy. The immediately available energy thus ohtained may help to put the joh over. But to do evil emphatically, no (Copyright, 1926.) 'that good may come, What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE.

You may he one of many women who know all about laces, linens, furniture and other household ar- ticles, and nothing at all about china. The words “Dresden,” “Sevres' “Wedgewood” and others may just remind you of advertisements or hear- say. If that's true, it’s about time vou became better acquainted with china. In the first place, there's only one certain way to tell china correctly. You must know the various makers’ marks on the undersides of the pieces. Some people think they can tell the make of a piece of china by the surface pattern, but they can't. You'll find old Wedgewood designs on Dresden ware and Dresden designs on_Worcester pottery. Worcester ware, by the way, I8 often imitated by manufacturers of cheap pottery. Real Worcester is marked with four W's intertwined within a eircle. Above the circle rests a crown and beneath the name Worcester. If the pottery was made before 1788 it's called Royal Worces- ter. Another English china of the same class is called Crown Derby. It's device consists of two Interlacing D's on which a erown is mounted. When buying Dresden china bear in mind that there are all kinds and grades of Dresden ware. The best is from a former royal factory at Melissen. On the reverse side you will find crossed swords. Almost as good as the Melssen ware is the china which comes from the Rosenthal fac- tory in Dresden. On the reverse side you will find the name, The chief difference between the fine Dresden ware and the cheap repro- ductions are the greater beauty and durability of the original. In the middle of the eighteenth cen. ‘Rosenthal.". ALLEN. tury Joslah Wedgewood invented the ware which hears his name. In Wedgewood ware the raised figures are molded and set on the founda- tion. You can tell real Wedgewood ware by its mark, the figure of a vase just above the name Wedgewood. If you ever want a really rare and exquisite plece of porcelain some day vou may pick up a Sevres, but you should know it when you see it. The Sevres mark looks like two old-fash- loned S's which are interlaced to in- close the initial A, and beneath ap- pears the name Sevres. You'll find that all china is marked in a characteristic way, and that once you become famillar with the mark- ing you can't be fooled on future purchases. Bread and Butter Pudding. Cut the end from a small loaf of 24- hour-old bread. Slice in one-half inch slices and butter each slice.

Mary asked this question the other day: “Roger’'s so sweet to me when we are home alone, or perhaps with one or tWo of my very good friends. B'ul if I happen to meet him when I'm out and he's with a crowd I don’t know, he treats me abominably. He's always raving about this affec- tion for me, but I can't understand this funny attitude of his when stran- gers are about. Why is he so dif- ferent?” . Louise answered her cheerfuily: Oh, don't worry about that. Pretty nearly all men are like that. They give you a terrible rush and get awfully sentimental about you when there's nobody much around, but they are ashamed of showing their feelings when they're in public. He doesn’'t feel any different—only he acts different.” Mary was comforted, as so many girls are when this sort of good: natured advice is poured into their ears, But without meaning to disturb the fair Mary unduly, I must tell her a little something—she very definitely has something to worry about.

There was something personal in his attitude toward Lucien Bartlett. Perry knew Lucien fairly well by reputation, and liked him, or had. Now he found himself so resentful toward Lucien that he could not think of him at all without anger. Lucien was married. He had a wife and children.

Since that evening at the theater he had seen nothing of Martha. nor had he made any attempt to get in touch with her. He had made up his mind to aveid her for a time. and until he had reached this conclusion he had not realized just how many habits he had forged upon himeelf. For one thing he had telephoned Martha every morning. Not for any particular desire to do so, but merely because it had grown into a habit and because he felt that Martha might expect it. Perry was no more conceited than any normal man. but he felt that Martha did expect him to call. This was probably because he had once failed to do so and she had mentioned the fact.
