No directions are necessary, except general ones, for the making. There are several types any one of which will be found becoming and simple to form. To start one of the hats make a chain of a few stitches, five or seven. Join the ends. Single cro- chet into the center to form a larger flat circle. Join each row with a slip “stitch. Do not crochet round and round, but start each row separately. Increase the size of rows by making two stitches in one stitch of the pre- ‘vious row occasionally, and so avoid ‘abrupt “cupping.” It is the cupping. however, that gives the shape to the hat crown; so do not try to keep the " erocheting flat for more than a few ‘Tows.

Never had Reddy seen anything like these. There were two of them, one being a little bigger than the other. One look at them was enough.

These crocheted hats are apt to be made of white or cream colored me- dium, though other colors are also used. Trimmings are gay. The hats will fold flat and are ideal to pack in a suitcase when going off on a vacation. They will emerge as spic and span and wrinkleless as when put In. These smart hats are practical, and if homemade cost but a trifling sum of money and little expenditure of time. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Barker the Seal, lving on a big rock mot far from where Reddy had found this fellow, called to Reddy to ‘ask what he was staring at so. “I don’t know what it is,” replied Reddy. “What does it look like?” inquired Barker. . “It looks like a crab, vet it doesn't. It's got the biggest claws I ever saw,” replied Redd: “Bring it over here, where 1 can look at it,” said Barker. Reddy hesitated. He didn't like to admit that he was afraid to pick that thing up. But he was. You see. ha wasn't quite sure that it wasn't alive, Finally he got a hold of it by the tail and dragged it over. Barker merely gave it a glance. “Pooh!” said he. “That's nothing but a lobster. There's nothing queer that. That one is dead, any- “What's it like when it's alive?” inquired Reddy. “It's funny I've never seen any running around on the beach.” Barker began to laugh. “What are you laughing at?” de- manded Reddy. “The idea of Blg Claw running around.on the beach,” replied Barker. “Crabs do. and this thing looks something like a crab. Anyway, it has legs like a crab and claws like a crab, only bigger. Why shouldn’t it run around the same as the crabs do?” said Reddy. “Because a lobster lives in the water and not on land; that's why,"” replied Barker. “If that one was alive, it wouldn't be up there. And let me tell you that if you ever find a live one you want to keep away from those big claws.” “Huh!" replied Reddy. “You don't have to tell me that. I wonder if it's good to eat?” “Good to eat! exclaimed Barker. “If there is anything better to eat | than Big Claw the Lobster, I don't | know what it is. But you want to get one when he hasn't any shell.” Reddy looked at Barker suspici- ously. “Say that again,” said he, (Copyright. 1926.) Clues.to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETHY. Easily Influenced. If you can see the nose of a person you can render a pretty good verdiet of the mentality an dthe disposition of the individuai.” No art of decep- tion can avall; the forehead may be covered by a hat, the eves closed, but the nose stands out and refuses to be ignored. The nose is the sun of the face and reveals, at first glance, more than any other part of the physiognomy. It gives us the most interior secrets of both the mind and body, and in- stantaneously reveals a man's capac- ity for thought and action, The will faculties, to be worth while, should be nelther too strong nor too weak. When too strong, they are short-sighted, and when too weak, the character is vacillating and nega: tive. 3 Extremely selfish wills indicate stupidity. The fact that selfishness is dominant in the mentality is the proof of an obtuse mind. But de- ficient will power is also a personal and vocational deterrent. Greatly depressed noses, thin and narrow between the eyes are signs of too little will or determination. Those who wear them are deficient in muscle all over the body; hence, there is lack of force and they can be easily in- fluenced, swerved and molded by strong-willed persons. i (Copgright. 1926.)

HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. know about Early American furniture is still en- Joying its immense vogue, and the early American types of architecture are very widely understood and liked, especially so far as exterior treatment is concerned. However, there is still a dismaying lack of interest in creat- ing an interior which will prove har- monious from an architectural point of view and make a satisfying back- ground for the quaint furniture of our forefathers. The living room shown, designed for « Dutch Colonial house, is admirable. It has rather small, man; aned win- dows, simple woodwork painted cream color a low canvas wainscoating and an odd red polka-dotted wallpaper. The fireplace is particularly nice, be- ing faced in blue Dutch tiles. Walns- coting and wallpaper have both been given a coat of heavy orange shellac which adds to their appearance of a tiquity and gives the room a mellow glow that is very pleasant. (Copyright. 1026.) Quick Chicken Pie. Dress and cut up a young chicken. Fry a nice brown after rolling in flour. Arrange in a baking dish. Beat two eggs, add one and one-half cupfuls of milk, one-half a teaspoonful of ®alt. one teaspoonful of baking powder in flour enough to make a thin bat- ter, pour over the chicken, and bake for 20 minutes. Drain off all but two tablespoonfuls of fat in which “the chicken was fried. Heat this, add one heaping tablespoonful of flour, brown, add one cupful of milk or water, and salt and pepper to taste. Turn the chicken onto a platter, sepa- rate the pieces, pour the gravy over it, and you have a delicious dish. Baked Apple Ice Cream. For half a gallon of ice cream bake six large apples peeled, filling the centers with sugar and a little butter. Sprinkle with grated lemon peel or spice, and bake slowly, covered with a very little water, and if very sweet, the juice of a lemon. When cool, put through a colander, add a quart of sweetened rich milk which has been scalded and cooled, or milk and cream mixed, then freeze. MENU FOR A DAY. .

John is a great big husky fellow, strong @s a byll and brave as a lion and he won all sorts of medals for valor in the war. But he is married to a little two-by-four woman who ha hirp 80 cowed that he says ‘Please, ma'am’ when he speaks to her. Why, when'I adk him to stay downtown and have dinner with me he actually trembles as he takes down the telephone to ask her permission, and if she says ‘No,' as she gen erally does, he never dreams of disobeying her and playing hookey. “So when I look at John I esy: ‘Not for you, old son. You are free and you are going to stay that way. A wife may be mighty nice, but personal liberty is better, and I don't see you letting any woman tell you just when and where you get off.’ * ok k% “THEN there is the case of Bob. Bob s cultured and artistic. Used to collect prints and old furniture. You should see the kind of a home his wife makes him. Like a pig pen. Everything at sixes and sevens. Floors unswept.

Never a meal that wouldn’t kill an ostrich, and in :hal midst of it poor, gentle Bob trying helpleasly to deal with a sloven and a 00l “'Ha,' T eay to myself, as I take a pepsin tablet after having been there to dine, ‘better is peace and order and & properly served meal in your club than the stringy chops and spotted tablecloths of matrimony.’ .“And there's the case of Charlie. Charlis regular getter and the one of all our crowd we had picked out to achieve big things. He was on his way and going strong when he married. But he got for a wife a woman who could spend money faster than any two men could make it. Her idea of a wife's duty was to be the latest hit from Paris. Hef conception of home was a place you went to when the jazz bands ceased bellowing and the night clubs closed and where a woman could sleep until noon, while her husband got up softly in the morning so as not to awaken her and went off breakfastless to work. so0 clever and ambitiou: “Well, being dragged around every night to places of amusement has ruined Charlie's health and debts have broken his nerves. All the fire and pep have gone out of him. His ambition is dead. He has become morose and down-hearted and pessimistic, and every vear he sinks deeper and deeper into the pit of failure. ‘' ‘Not for me,’ I say as I look at Charlie. ‘I am no tightwad, but I don't propose to spend my whole life toiling for the benefit of milliners and dress- makers and finery-makers generally. I am not going to have my door of op- portunity so blocked up with any pretty lady's unpaid bills that I can't get it open when good luck knocks on it. “And there's the case of Phil. Phil is the best old scout that ever lived— kind, easy-going—the sort of a man who would never lift his hand against a woman no matter how much she deserved it. He won a nagger and a whiner in the matrimonial lottery, and in all the 20 years they have heen married he has never drawn a peaceful breath in his own home or been permitted to do a single thing he wanted to do. He has never lit a cigar without having to listen to a lecture on the vice of smoking. He has never made a mistake that he has ever heard the last of. He has never done a single thing apparent- 1y of which his wife approved. “And every night as soon as he comes home he has to listen to a mono logue about how hard she has had to work and how bad the children have been and how her head aches. or her back aches, or her toe aches and how awful it is that she can't have a new car as Mrs. Bullion has or a real pear] necklace like Mrs. Croesus. * %k %k ¥ ““ ‘BACHEL()RHOOD may be lonesome,’ say I to myself after I meet Mrs. Phil, ‘but, thank heaven, there fsn't any one who has a legal right to tell me of my shortcomings, and when a woman starts to recount her troubles to me I can get up and leave.’ . “And there is the case of Sam. wife and children. He has given them his very heart's blood and they have never so much as said ‘thank you.' He is nothing but an automaton that elgns checks for them. They don't even know he is alive except when they want more money. - 2 ““Nobody bothers about his happiness or comfor:. Nobody tries to interest or amuse him, or to be companionable with him. Mother and the children go off for months at a time and leave him alone to work through Summer heats | and Winter colds.

There is also the case of David, whose wife is tender and loving; whose children are appre clative and grateful; whose home is a safe haven where he can drop anchor when the storms of life sweep over him." “True,” replied the bachelor. “But there are so few Davids and so many Johns and Charlies and Phils and Sams, and, as I told you, I am a coward and lack sporting blood, and I get cold feet when I think of playing a hundred- to-one shot.

Lay the cloth smoothly on the washboard, wet the brush, rub it across a bar of soap, then scrub the ment with strokes of the brush. In covering an ironing board tack your sheet on wet and dry it gradually. The result will be an absolutely tight and smooth covering. To make cake richer always beat eggs, butter and sugar to- gether before adding the flour. Always keep salads on ice un- til it is time to serve them. This keeps the lettuce crisp and the fruits or vegetables do not lose their flavor as they are likely to when exposed to heat. To make a nice gloss on linen when ironing, cover a plece of beeswax with flannel and rub over the surface of the iron. Apple, potato and most other stains may be removed from the hands by rubbing them with oatmeal moistened with lemon juice or vinegar. Never use soap before removing the stain or it will bé more diffieult to re- move. ¥ FEATURES. EVERYDAY QUESTIONS Answered by DR. S. PARKES CADMAN Questions from readers are answered daily DroDn, SoParkes Cadman, president of ‘the Federal (‘:oweu of Churches of Christ in A g T o of t {n the many letters LG i Middletown, N. Y. What {s meant by the saying of Jesus in Matthew x1.30, “My yoke is easy? Answer—The symbol of a yoke as typifying bondage was a very com- mon one among both Jews and Greeks. The Greek proverb, “To pull under the same yoke,” corresponded to our saying, “To be in the same boat. It also was a frequent symbol in rabbinical literature for the require- ments and obligations of the Jewish law. Jesus used it to denote the new law of love which He imposed on men. The root meaning of the Greek word here translated, ‘‘easy,” is “gerviceable” or ‘“kind The sig nificance of the saying is that when the law of love becomes the law of human life it is completely furnished for the doing of God's will. His com- mands and men's desires then make, as Dante said, one flowing current. Brooklyn, N. Y. 1 notice that certain mi ers give series of Sunday night talks on vari- ous prominent playwrights, such as Ibsen, Shakespeare and other literary celebrities and discuss their respec- tive plays and works. Do you think it is right for ministers to devote their evening services to such topies? Is there not altogether too much window dressing indulged in by clergymen in order to obtain Sunday night audi- ences” I should be glad of your opin- fon with respect to these matters. Answer—Perhaps a few ministers may indulge in too much window dressing, as you say, but as a rule neither saints nor sinners will attend Lord’s day evening services unless their curiosity is excited. Dr. Lyman Abbott told me of the crowds that filled Plymouth Church during the period of his sermons on Parking With Peggy “Bob_thinks bathing beauties must be lucky at bridge—all of them short- suite the problems of biblical criticism, but added that when he spoke on the plain message of the Gospel the multitudes disappeared. If one of the clearest, most benevo- lent minds in Christendom could have an experience like this, what, suppose you, are the experiences of ordinary divines? ‘Will not some overworked preacher rise up and tell us what are the exact benefits derfved from Lord's day eve- ning services held in half-dozen local churches, the attendants upon which could be comfortably housed in any one of those churches? Again, germons with catchy sdver- tisements may have good stuff in them. Titles like “The Devil's Razor,” “By the Skin of the Teeth,” “A Short Bed and No Clothes” or “Shaill a Man Marry His Landlady’s Daughter?”’ jar the sedate and disgust the censorious. But their subject-matter may be as germane to the hearer's life and its difficulties as that of sermons with conventional title: Our Lord tolerated the roof of the house being removed where He was preaching in order that a cripple conld be lowered into His healing presence. ‘When Charles Haddon Spurgeon drew huge crowds and served them well, some disappointed pulpiteers of his time growled about his sensational- ism.
