Best Way to Do Overcasting BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Last Wednesday the distinctions be- the goods at a slight slant. This will the slant "-mchonmo&her hemming and overcast in fine stitches, the sewing is done, open out the | seam by pressing with the This is the easiest way to hem napkins. If a slanting stitch is wanted for top stitchery, the needle should go straight through both edges of the goods being sewed together. This will cause the thread to lie at asslant across the goods, and bring a straight stitch goods with a' straight weave, for the stitches on the right side of the ma- terial will follow the lines of the weave, and_ so show least. any tendency to hold one edge looser i |than the other such reversal of work will take care of slight discrepancies and the final needleful in the center of the seam will meet the preceding one exactly. It should be remembered that there is always a tendency to hold the goods that are toward the worker just a trifie | looser than those parts away from her. Therefore never hold the ‘goods over the fingers, but always grasp the edges between thumb and forefinger and slacken the back edge a mere trifle, Overcasting and =~ top-seaming are worked from right to left.

NANCY PAGE Green, Yellow and Red Make Attractive Dishes. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, ing at Nancy's home, She tried {o think of something new to serve. Putting two and two together, or rather two and one, she made a three-in-one dish which was voted one of the successes of the year. The dish was not cheap, but then good foods never are. She called her dish & chicken, cheese, tomato salad loaf. She used gelatin, tomato juice, sea- sonings, cheese, mayonnaise, chicken, celery, lettuce, ripe and stuffed olives. With it she served Melba toast. ‘The mixture was molded in a bread pan of baking glass or aluminum. Since there was acid in the tomato jelly she did not feel it was safe to mold the mixture in tin. First she made a tomato jelly mixture following the recipe which comes with a package of gelatin. That was poured into the mold and filled it one-third full. While that was beginning to set she made a mixture of nippy cheese creamed to a paste, modified somewhat with mayonnaise and stiffened with a small amount of dissolved gelatin, on plates gare rated Sm ¢t would you like to course with this?

April Fools' day has become as mid-Victorian as Aunt Sally’s bustles. Common garden vdriety of deception was considered naive. A joke to be a joke had to possess a “punch.” Strategy was invoked and fabrication became an instrument of the perpetrator. ‘The wife of an ble citizen would receive a letter addressed to her husband in feminine handwriting. A trusting wife became suspicious when her husband opened the missive. He naturally tried to conceal the letter and his own asontishment. Usually the wife saw the letter, which said: “Dear- est: Be sure to meet me at the old bridge at midnight. Lovingly, Mae.” ‘Who was Mae? The effect of the so-called joke was sleepless nights for the good wife. It was she who suffered more than the unfortunate husband, the intended victim. ‘We know of several instances where this occurred, causing illness. Putting a tack on one's chair was painless to the victim compared with the former trick. Luckily, the world is growing more sane. *k kX What causes giggling at an inappro- priate time? During a serious per- formance the other night & number in the audience chuckled audibly. Was it overacting on the part of the actress or_hysteria? We never knew a giggling girl who retained her popularity with the boy friends. In a restaurant recently a serlous young fellow was telling his female companion something about his ambitions. He was studying diligently to obtain an education and then a pro- fession would follow. The young woman giggled. He told her of a trip he had taken to South America. The girl giggled again. He asked her whether she would have ice cream or pie, and again his com- panion emitted a series of giggles. Easter Sunday morning a soloist stood in a choir loft and sang. His render- ing of the sacred number was excel- lent. As he neared the end his voice broke for a second. Several young persons giggled. It proved to be con- tagious and the entire bench began to shake with other giggles. ‘Who can explain the phenomenon? * k¥ % A reader sent us what he says are joke.l any time of the year.

A uvlr:mr may be sai a sman; that is, he sells his attention and Yy end wis a profit- able one for local establishments ca- tering to the needs and entertainment of the _visiting |( hosts. Theaters, hotels, restaurants [ and bus companies were patronized by thousands. A couple entered a large restaurant in town and the two were waited upon by an atten- tive person. As each course was served the waiter in. quired if everything was O. K. Yes, indeed, he wes told, and the male patron mentally calculated that the waiter should receive a 50-cent tip. ‘The waiter returned with fresh water ‘and_again asked, “Is sir and madame pleased?” The he-customer uldu"\’ea" and raised the fee to 75 cents. Here was an attendant who knew his onions and the entire bill of fare, The couple had scarcely tasted their food when the waiter hove to dnd in- quired if the steak was actually well enough done. He was delighted that everything was all right. By this time the patron was become ing annoyed at the attentions of the man. The fee dwindled to 35 cents, The young woman began to speak about experiences of the day. She had nol proceeded far when the waiter appeared and asked if the coffee was warm enough or should he bring them hotter cups. The fee dwindled to 25 cents, By the time the meal was finished the patron discovered that one-third of the conversation had been between hime« self and the man who served, or rathes overserved him. When the couple left the waiter picked up two lonely little dimes. The moral is: Let ’em along when they’re happy. Abe Malitfiays: ~ .
