Gifts Are Made With Net Design BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. T —~=—=—2 3 v-rcc =5 oie— THE GAY, UPSTANDING LITTLE PLACE CARDS ARE SMART. . Net applique designs may give ideas | for Christmas gifts to the woman who | would make presents in advance during | the Summer time. The design, with | directions for making, can be had by inclosing 5 cents in stamps, together with a self-addressed and stamped en- | velope, with & request directed to Lydia | Te Baron Walker, care of this paper. | For those who wish to know sizes, I am giving the following: Large flower in | full bloom, on stem, with three leaves, | full height, 6% inches; half-blown flow- er, on short-leaved stem, 3 inches; large and small bud, on leaved stem, 5! inches, short fronds of grass in varying heights. These motifs can be used separately, combined in ways to suit individual re- quirements for needlecraft articles, or they can be used as patterned by the artist. The design as it is given can be extended by repeating to any desired length. A breakfast set made of unbleached cotton, with a full-flower motif used as a border for the cloth and the hali- blown flower for the napkin decoration, gives an entirely different aspect to the pattern from that which it has in net applique. Start the repeat of the motif with the stem joining the top of the flower and so form a horizontgl border band. Extra flowers without stems can be used in corners, if the motif does not quite reach the turning point. Be sure to plan so0 that at each corner such a | floral arrangement is identical with | every other. i If flowers form corners, start each | band-border portion with the flower. | In the center of each side start the | pattern in reverse, with a’ flower be- | tween stem ends. This variation is in- | teresting and it can be used at the dis- cretion of the worker throughout a band border on whatever article the band is used. A crib cover of heavy cotton cloth (or muslin, as it is called in some parts of the country) with a border of this sort is smart. Put the band a little above the hem, which should extend all around the coverlet. A baby carriage robe of this sort developed in heavier material or a fine one of light weight, with wool wadding between back and front portions and then quilted in cross- diagonal lines, would delight any young mother. Color can be used advantageously by having flowers and buds in any pre- ferred hue and the stems, leaves and foliage in soft green. These tones can be brought out through appliqued tex- tiles or through stitchery in outline. When using these motifs for bags, sofa cushions, ete., color can be used to great advantage. Place cards can be made from the | half-blown motif. Trace the outline on AUNT HET | | BY ROBERT QUILLEN | “I love my relatives same as any- body does, but I don't want ’em campin’ on me just because the weather 18 t0o hot to do their own cookin'.” (Copyricht, 1930.) cardboard 23 inches wide and 4 inches long. Tint the flower in some gay color and paint the stem and leaf green, With & sharp knife go around the out- line, first putting the cardboard on & piece of wood to avoid cutting into whatever might be under it. Where the stem ends, cut horizontal | lines to the edge of the. cardboard and make a slight pass with' the knife edg: under the stem end. Fold along this stem end and the cardboard will form a support for the flower and stem, which will stand upright. With pen and ink write straight across the flower the name of the person for whom the card is intended. A set of these blank | place cards make a gay little gift. The design adapted to the worker'’s needs can be used for innumerable articles. (Copyright, 1930.) i A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, Security. «n my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.”—Ps. TTT 6. Things had been going well with David, and he had been lulled into a Talse confidence by the apparent se- curity of his good fortune. He admits his error by tnhe acknowledgment th-tI he spoke “in my prosperity.” This is an error into which many fall, even good men. When we are prosperous, and our prosperity extends through any considerable period, unless we exercise continual watchfulness, the best of us are sure to fall into the no- tion that “tomorrow will be as this day, and much more abundant.” But as surely as we live, so sure 1s it that there will come a “tomorrow” to us all which shall not be as this day. Because we have enjoyed a long continuznce of prosperous and peace- vs. is no reason for believing that 11'go on forever without any mis- fortune changes. In the case of David, it required a siege of trouble to show him the inse- curity of his apparent security. It is so with us all. When we begin to feel secure and safe in our good fortune, forgetting how fragile are its founda- tions, nothing but discipline in some form can cure us of our false confi- dence. After David was taught to see his error, he no more said, “I shall never be moved because of my prosperity.” But he did say, “Because He is at my I shall not be moved.” can keep us steadfast and in peace through whatever come in our circum- n through the last change But apart from God no man can be sure of anything beyond the present moment. Roast Beef Garnish, Prepare the roast as usual browned in a hot oven and when it has nearly finished cooking, place some canned pears, which have been well drained and lightly dipped in flour, all around the Toast to brown in the fat. Serve the pears as a garnish with the roast beef, sprinkling them with paprika after re- moving from the oven. Fish Sauce. Put half a cupful of butter in a por- celain saucepan. Add the juice of a | large lemon and a little salt and pepper. Place the saucepan over boiling water and heat the contents until thick and | hot. ‘Then mix in carefully the beaten yolks of two eggs and a little minced parsley and serve at once. Psychic Adventures of Noted Men and Women Mysterious Sorrow That Influenced Schumann’s Composition of His Nocturne, BY J. P. “WHILE COMPOSING I VISUALIZ] GLASS. ED FUNERAL THINGS, COFFINS, SORROWING FACES.” There is a strange story of the events| which accompanied. Robert Schumann's | composition of his “Nachtstucke” (noc-| turne). This gloomy plece was written in| March, 1833, when the composer was but 23 years of age and had not yet| achieved that eminent position in Ger- | man music which was to be his, al- though he already had given unmistak- | able evidence of his genius. | Born in Saxony, he first attained the | position of professor of composition in | the conservatory founded by Mendels- | sohn in Leipzig. From 1850 to 1853 he | was musical director at Duw rf. | Among his comp lons were an opera, | four symphonies, five overtures, sever other large choral and orchestral wor and a vast quantity of songs and piano compositions. IIis career was short, for he died in 1856, when he was only 46 | years of age. | Schumann was deeply immersed dur- ing the latter part of March, 1833, in the composition of a new suite. He had | no sooner begun to work on it, however, than an unexplainable sadness settled down upon him. He was dep: y a foreboding he could not unders His mind was filled with visions of death and its accompanying rites. Inevitably his composition took on a | funereal turn. When he had played it over, he was in tears, and the only title he could give it was “Leichenphantasie” (Funeral Fantasy). Why had this mysterious sadness en-; veloped him, charting his course as if | he had no volition? He thought it all | explained when he Teceived a letter from his_sister-in-law, Therese Schu- mann. It informed him that his . | th brother, Edward, had just died after a short illness. There had been a strong bond of affection between them. But Schumann had not known Edward was dangerously ill. A letter by Schumann at this time to Clara Wiecke, whom he was to marry two years later and who was to become famous as & planist, throws a colorful light upon the ecircumstances under which the nocturne was composed. In the epistle he said: “I must tell you a presentiment I have had. It haunted me from the 24th to the 27th of March, during which I was absorbed in my new compositions “There was & certain pas e which obsessed me, and some one seemed to be Tepeating to me from the depths of his heart, ‘Ach Gott!'’ While ing I visualized funereal things, coffins, sorrowing faces. “When I finished, T thought of a title. The only one which came to my mind was ‘Leichenphantasie’ (Fu- neral Fantasy). “Is not this extraordinary? I was so overcome that the tears came to my| eyes; I truly did not know why; it was impossible to discover any cause for sadness. Then came Therese's letter, and all was clear.” A great composition, we see, was Lhus} due to a presentiment, attributable to a vague sort of clairvoyance. However, many of the world’s masterpieces of lit- erature, art and music have evolved un-~ der similar, or even more remarkable, conditions. = Sardou, the great French dramatist, for instance, believed that he rote all his plays under spirit guid- ance.

While many of my readers have been | enthusiastic about the effect of sun baths on scalps troubled with dandruff or excessive oiliness, my mail at pre ent also contains letters from readers | who say that their hair has been ruined by_the sun. | It is very true that hours in the| brofling sun will dry the hair and scalp | entirely too much and will give the former a dry, faded look. Often the | hair is much abused during the Sum- mer months. One will go swimming and get the hair wet and then lie on the beach and let it dry in the sun and wind. Long motor drives also have a disastrous eflect on many heads of hair. | Now, what is to be done about hair which has become dry, brittle and faded, and a scalp which is absolutély dry? Nothing unusual—simply the old | treatment of massage and brushing will | bring the hair back to its natural state. Do the brushing first, taking a small section at a time. Use a brush which is not-too stiff, but with bristles which are very long and flexible. The reason for the bristles being long is that they should penetrate to the scalp so that it will be stimulated during the brush: ing process also. Always brush upward; beginning at the scalp, go 'way out to the end of the strand of bair in one stroke. Brushing | the hair upward helps to make it soft and fluffy, while brushing it downward has just the opposite effect of making it flat and unattractive. During the brushing the brush should be wiped off on a towel frequently, otherwise any dust or grime will be brushed right | back into the hair. After brushing a tonic may be ap- plied to the scalp. The following recipe” makes a good one: One ounce olive ofl or castor ofl, four drams Colgne water, four ounces bay rum, one dram tinc- ture of cinchona. Shake well and ap- ply to the scalp with absorbent cotton. { SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY; My baby sister is gettin’ terrible brave.
