They are the tvo-thread or lock-stitch machine and the one-thread or chain-stitch machine. Either kind does good work. Study the book that comes with the machine to learn how to use it and care for it. A sewing machine requires just as careful atten- tion as any other kind of machine. It must be kept clean and well oiled, or there will be unnecessary wear and tear on it. Do not try to sew faster than the machine is intended to sew, as this is a strain on the machine. Good machine stitching includes a careful adjustment of the tension to the length of the stitch, size of ma- chine needle and size of thread. The adjustment of the tension is different on different kinds of machines. The length of stitch and size of needle and thread are all determined by the fine- ness or coarseness of the material to be sewed.

Necessary Tools. There are very few necessary tools for sewing, but those that you use must, 'bs good to be valuable. The necessary ones are scissors, ible, needles, tape measure, pins, thread, workbag, emerybag and a few others. In order to cut cloth or thread easily, scissors should always be sharp. Be careful not to drop them, as this loosens the screw, making them harder to use. Do not cut paper with them, because paper dulls them. Tie a piece of colored ribbon to your scissors. This will save many minutes that would otherwise be spent in looking for them, as the ribbon can be seen even if the scissors are half hidden under papers The best tape measure to one that is numl buy is on_ bof e It is very convenient if the sides. Work. break or pull off in the wringer even if they bend and go through double, and they do not cut the threads and come off. They can be bought in black and white in two sizes and are inex- nsive. When working buttonholes in loomers, make the middle buttonhole in front with a thread of a different color from the rest. This makes it possible for a child to get bloomers on right without any trouble.

C.. FRIDAY, JAN UARY 24, "1930. Left-Overs of Roast Beef Mast Equal BY SALLY MONROE. For the family of two or three, or even four, roast beef sometimes seems like an impossibility—save when there are enough guests to help devour it. Some of us may dimly remember the day when what was left of a roast, was given to the laundress or the man who worked in the garden to be taken home or—what appalling wastefulness! —was carried out to the kennels to serve as supper for faithful Rover or good dog S Now, even if we could afford such extravagance, we would feel that it was downright folly. So the problem reduces itself to one, of palatable leftovers. If you really hanker for a beef roast once in a while, g0 ahead d order one—a two-rib roast of quality. If you have it rolled ask to have the bones sent home—as these may be used for soup stock. Do not turn the roast in cooking and do not cook it. overmuch. In this way you can.leave one side fairly rare for the second day. [ ‘The second day make slices of the roast, fairly thick—one for each one to be served—and broil them quickly in a gas broiler or over coals.
