JESSE W. SPROWLS. Faces. Life with its interests and occupa- tions seems to be an artist—an artist in the sense that it draws certain lines and colorations on the body ofsthe one who does the living. The face most clearly betrays the mental occupation of the life-worn. And so, it is said, we acquire faces which become settled pictures of our mental struggles. Of course, not very a-dny types have as vet been identi- Some persons spend their energy in the propagation of what they take to be settled questions. They stand pat in spite of every argument to the contrary. They come to have distinc- tive faces. You sometimes get a cloce-up of a g:rson Wwho bears the reputation of ing noted for something in a creative sense. Something like nine out of every ten of these notables strike you as being very “plain persons” after all. You are usually impressed with what you might call a beautifully homely face. When you get a group of them together you have a varied array of the lines of thinking that lle back of their several fights for a living. Such observation is nowadays ex- pressed in a theory which is gaining in popularity. The theory is that the “ugly duckling” soon finds that he can’t get far on his face., So he cet- tles- down to work. Eventually he be- comes the creator of something which in turn makes him great.

It was made by combining thread, Christmas tree balls in silver and pale green and paper silver leaves. The balls were strung with fine thread. These threads were made cf varying length. When all the balls P 1 ¥l were prepered the threads were gather- ed and krotted together. Then the silver paper leaves were attached at the top and the finished result resem- bled a bunch of grapes. Sometimes' Nancy used this idea, hanging the bunches from chandeliers or from side wall light fixtures. But wherever she hung the balls they made a pool of light which was attractive by day and by night. ‘The Christmas he whlc‘I‘lam lou:ng 1%/ = - & 2| v P e = D S R v (4 P I, IR r, the ani- whose honor Christmas is celebrat His Mother, various saints and the Wise Men from afar.

I have a sister of 7 and a brother of 4. A few weeks ago my mother died, leaving a new-born baby girl. I want to keep the baby and raise it, but my father thinks I am"too young, and that it would be best to board it out for at least two years. If I were married and had a baby of my own, I would have to rear it, and I would be thought old enough to do it. Do you think I am too young to mother my motherless sisters and brother? My father makes good money and says he will not m: again. We have agreed to abide by your decision in this matter. 5 Answer.—I think you are a very fine and unselfish girl, Helen, to desire to jburden vourself at your age with your baby sister. It is a lot of care and worry and calls for a lot of work and self-sacrifice to rear a baby, and you will have to give up many of the good times that belong to your time of life to walk the colic and tell bedtime stories and run after restiess little feet. But if you are willing to make the sacrifice there is no reason why you should not do it and make the best possible substitute to the baby for the mother she has lost. As you say, if the baby were your own, nobody would guestion your ability to take proper care of her. There are plenty of 19-year-old mothers whose youngsters take prizes in better-baby shows. Indeed, the modern young mothers’ babies are generally more scientifically reared than those of the older mothers because the young motbers pin their faith to some baby doctor’s book and go by it. You will be able to give your baby sister something that not the highest- priced baby specialist can give it. ‘That is love and, queerly enough, it seems that babies cannot live without love. They have to-be petted and kissed and coddled into taking hold of life, and that is wi mt&n live and thrive in dirt and squalor if they have some woman to cuddle and hold them warm on her breast while they die like flics in the most sterilized and antiseptic and scientifically run asylums. . At any rate, if you are ever to have the baby keep it from the first. Don’t let some one ¢lse have it for two years and bring it back to you. It will be much easier for you to develop it fromsthe first than it will be for you to take it after its habits are lm'med.. Zrae DOROTHY DIX.

FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. ‘The best way to test the temperature of fat used in deep-fat frying is by means of a deep-fat thermometer, or a ‘sugar thermometer, which may be used instead. But most housewives do not feel that they do enough of this sort to make the expense while. Moreover, they reason that as their mothers and grandmothers man- aged to make crullers and doughnuts, fritters and other deep-fried dishes ex- pertly without a thermometer they can get along without one also. ‘To be sure, cooks of other days got along without a thermometer, but they probably had to discard a good many of the doughnuts and fritters before they got the fat to just the right temperature, and old-fashioned cooks minded less than we do the loss of a batch of food that did not turn out Just right, because eggs and butter were I this table, of worth keeping for reference.
