WOMAN’S PAGE. Best Ways to Use Enamel Cloth BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The question “What is enamel cloth?” 48 one of those that come to me in -~ .the mail bag and which is of interest to many readers. The word enamel in its original meaning sighified a hard, of just the coating. -From this time on the term enamel gradually become applicsble to a variety of things. Teeth, for instance, are said to have a natural enamel in vhe hard polished coating overlaying them. A very hard burnished varnish or lacquer finish given to leath- er, cloth or paper comes under the defi- nition of enamel. And finally there comes a cloth with a finish that is im- pervious to water and which is pressed |onto a textile whether it stiffens the tex- | tile or permits it to remain flexible and whether it has a glossy surface or not. This is termed enamel cloth. Enamel cloth is a direct descendant trom oil cloth which in England was and still is sometimes, even today, called floor cloth. This is because it was originally intended for a durable floor covering, with a pattern, that could be used in- stead of carpet and be less costly. In 1847 a man by the name of Michael Nairn of England conceived the idea of mixing oil and cork fibre together with various other less important ingredients in such a way that it could be applied to canvas by a certzin process to make & superior and more durable floor cover- |ing than the textile finish minus the icol‘k. Various improvements have been made over this initial process, but the principle remains the same, though the names of the finished products are di- verse. When this finish minus the cork was s0 adapted and modified that it could be made thin enough to be used as a water- proof finish for a textile to be used for AN ENAMEL CLOTH TABLE COVER Is A WISE CHOICE FOR A KITCHEN. glassy eompound that was fused upon the surface of metal. This enamel was opaque or translucent. It has even been made so clear that the name trans- parent has sometimes been applied to | this_type. The first broadening of the meaning {is put are endless. other purposes than a floor covering, it went by the name of table oflcloth. It was stiff and would crack. ‘Today it can be had so flexible that unless actually creased it does not crack nor does it have to have a glossy surface, necessarily. This, the highest grade, is termed enamel cloth. It is a labor-sav- ing textile ior kitchens and bathrooms especially. The uses to which this enamel cloth It is wonderfully well adapted to covers for tables. It has been utilized for kitchens and bath- room curtains! It is a substitute for leather, and in this form it is excellent for the binding of cook books. To at- tempt to enumerate its uses would be im- possitle in this article. It is distinctly a practical material and should be esteemed for this reason, not because it attempts to enter into competition with fine textiles minus the finish. It now comes in endless attractive patterns even in damask designs, although its cortect use as a substitute for damask pertains only to kitchen, cottage, and camp requirements. As will be seen enamel cloth is a su- perior grade of Kkitchen oilcloth, and it is frequently called by this latter name. (Copyright, 1931.) Sweetbread Timbales.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Talent. When there is nothing else to give one may well turn to ways of giving her talent. Often such a gift will exceed in sentiment and value any material thing that is within one’s power. If you have an artistic talent for sketching, drawing or decorating, such a gift may be easily utilized in a profit- able way. Posters are often contributed by sketchers and designers and form powerful adjuncts to advertising and promotional campaigns. Painters may offer pictures to sell in the cause of charity, while g decorator may end her time and skill to the decoration of a bazaar or charity fair. These gifts represent things as valued and appre- ciated as anything. A pleasing singing voice may be used on a concert program or in a choir. In the latter instance one contributes in- directly to the support of her church. Charitable entertainments and benefits | make frequent demands on singers. | Of course, professional entertainers are always willing to give their highly valued talents in the cause of charity. Benefit performances given by profes- wsional entertainers realize large sums of money throughout the theatrical season. These entertainers often induce people to give who would otherwise be unattracted. ‘The writer has something to give, too. She may pen the notices, press reports, appeals, and so forth. In simi- lar ways every person with a single talent may give that talent, regardless of what material gift is within her power. Artistic talent is not the only prac- tical one for giving. Business women can give their time to the managing of institutions, campaigns, secieties, and 50 forth. Others can administer funds and keep records. The stenographer can give a part of her time o secre- tarial work for a charitable society, | and so forth. Accountants can give a spare evening to the auditing of books. When there is nothing eise to give, give your talent. But give your talent, anyway. It is worth nontheless because it does not come out of your pocket, and it may be the means of making a necessary economy in giving. Woman as Financier. We conduct a department in a finan- cial publication. Our department is intended to look after the interests of woman investors, and their number is greater by far than most folk realize. Thousands of women look to us for information and advice, and the ma- jority of them display an intelligent understanding of investments. We have data to dieprove any theory that all women are born gamblers or | that they only buy stock to speculate. It is not a fact either that women | take their losses to heart, or become | prostrated by the sight qf depressing | news on ticker tape. i In fact, women nowadays are showing more interest and more knowledge than their husbands with regard to invest- ments, and quite often their judgment is superior to the “man of the family.” The average husband evaluates a stock by its market price, or by the money. We are always glad on our part to inform women in their own in- terests, and to nup‘ply such information as may be essential to deciding on in- vestments. We prefer to recommend at her disposal stocks or bonds, feel- ing that with adequate information at her disposal a_woman is fully capable of making up her own mind. If there are still old-fashioned women among our readers, we offer modernity for the asking! THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE ‘Today’s model has many new fea- tures that may serve you admirably.

I does my best sleepin’ dest after I has been told to get up. (Copyright. 1921.) BY D. C. PEATTIE. Shooting Stars. This Winter was one of the “shoot- ing-star years,” and all through the cold, clear nights astronomers have been watching for members of the swarm of meteors through which we are passing. their number and general direction of flight. Certainly I cannot ever remember having scen so many, but as for counting, I soon gave up, and they seem to me to fly in every direction. Even among veteran nature lovers | there is a confusion in the use of the words comet, meteor, meteorite and meteorology. Meteorology is the study of the weather and comets are rare self-luminous masses of matter in a gaseous state (with or without the famous “tail”) which describe immense eiliptical orbits around the sun and make predictable appearances, more or ess. The difference between meteors and meteorites is partly one of size, meteors being smaller, meteorites larger. Both, however, are chips or bits of celestial metal flying through the air, which, on striking our atmosphere, ignite from friction. Meteorites often fall to earth with terrific violence. I once knew a man who spent a great fortune hauling tons of these fragments to his private collection in Chicago. But meteorites are rare and solitary and irregular and make a tremendous light in the sky, sometimes accom- panied by roaring, while the swarms of meteors through which we are travel- ing now go about in schools, like fishes, and burn up into nothing so swiftly that they are gome before a man may say: “Behold.” _Noiseless, minute, modest, they are all ephemeral beauty, as we see them from the earth. Their pecul- iar fascination lies in the theory that they are old comets which have split or broken up into tiny fragments, for they seem to travel in the orbits of some of the “lost comets” that come no more where they were expected. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Indexed. ‘This question is asked: “Does not every one have a sort of private mental index of himself, very much after the fashion of business filing system?” ‘This question is just another way of n)l.;ln[ the old problem of the sense of self. A yes or no answer to this question can be wrong and misleading. Human nature is so variable under ordinary life situations that it does not easily yleld to tabulation and bookkeeping, even of a mental sort. I think I have noticed among young people, however, a rather consistent tendency to formulate a mental index of their abilities and what they hope to make of them. I have also noticed that they frequently change their minds about the supposed verities of their self-created estimations.

As one man puts it: “A man has to be 40 be- fore he is old enough to have sense enough to know that he has no sense.” Psychological investigation has in recent years made two important con- tributions to the psychology of the sense of self. The most important fact so far discovered is that the private in- dex or the sense of self is a semi-con- scious sort of mental rating. The other outstanding fact is that if it is blocked in one direction it easily finds a sub- stitute. For example, a young man who found it impossible to finish a medical course turned out to be an oculist in a State where the laws for such practice were very lax.

DEAE MISS DIX—I am a young man contemplzting matrimony, but I want to get the right sort of wife so I won't be continually arguing and serapping | with her like some young married couples I k=ow. I want to marry for love, but | on the other hand I wouldn't want & chezp home with a wife who didn't have enough money to clothe herself properly. You know when I see a woman with a couple, or twice a couple, of kids trmlmg along I wonder where she thinks that marriage pays. And the poor kids whose parents can't even dress them comfortably or, give them the right sort of food. Where in the worla does love | fit in in that kind of marriage? Or do the wife and husband have time for love when they are struggling to find a crust to eat and a roof to cover them? Now | I like a girl very much, but I don't want to offer her a home where poverty is | king.—J. W. | Answer—I think you are a very wise man, J. W., to consider the financial as well as the sentimental side of marriage. And I think vou show a very fine | spirit toward the girl in not wanting to marry her until you can offer her | adequate support, because, after all, poverty falls harder on the wife than it does on the husband. | She is the one who has to do the scrimping and saving and who lives in | greatest terror of the wolf at the door. She is the one who is the least fitted to do without the comforts of life. She is the one who has most desire for a nice house, nice clothes, for softness, case and luxury. There is no more pitiful figure than the overworked, undernourished, dragged down, shabby motifer with her | poor, little, anemic children clinglng to her skirt, and it seems to me that no| man who really loved a woman would take a chance on bringing this fate upon | her. Before he married her he would wait until he was sure that he would be able to provide for a family. Of course, it is all very romantic to say that love is enough and that two young hearts should not be kept apart by a sordid consideration of such things as food and rent and clothes, but in real life they are the very things that we do have to consider first and foremost. Love may satisfy the heart, but it doesn't stay the stomach, and after marriage we are just as hungry as we were before. A shelter is just as necessary, | because there are still rains and sleets and snows, Clothes wear out and even | the most enamored heart has to be covered from the public gaze, and if there | is no money to supply even the necessities of existence romance is likely to run pretty thin. For, sad to relate, we have to be comfortable physically and | mentally in order to have sentiment. | | 1t is not, of course, necessary to be rich before one ventures upon marriage. A man doesn’t need to take his bride to a palace nor provide her with a limousine nd diamonds, but he does need a settled income that will feed two or more and to be able to assure her of a bungalow or a flat and street car fare and a bead chain or two thrown in for good measure. ‘There are mighty few young men who are willing to give up keeping an | automobile to keep a baby carriage. Mighty few who have been used to going | out to places of amusement every evening who can have just as much fun staying | at home wiping the dishes. Mighty few who have been accustomed to belonging to clubs and playing golf and dressing well who do not resent seeing all of their | money go to furnishing a bare and poor living for their families and who do not feel that they are paying too high a price for marriage. . Moreover, the man who fell in love with a pretty, dainty, well dressed girl often finds himself disillusioned when poverty reduces her to a shabby, tired, domestic slave. So, taking it by and large, a man does well if he looks at the grocery-bill side of marriage as well as the billing and cooing side. DOROTHY DIixX. (Capyright, 1931.)

GUNN. “There came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that seen his star in the east and are come to worship Him And lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood where the youn child was. When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceed- ing great joy."—Matthew, ii1, 2, 9, 11. However men may explain the ap- pearance of the star these wise men saw in the east and which led them to Bethlehem's manger, there are many stars in the heavens of man's spiritual sky which will lead to Christ all who seek Him, There is the star of prophecy. We see it shining in the heaven of the Old Testament, and as we follow it we see it move onward through the centuries of Israel's spiritual experience until at last it stands over the cradle of Jesus, in whom all the law and the prophets are brought to divine fulfilment. Ear- nest souls who follow this star will soon be found worshiping at the manger of the Christ child, as did the Magi. There is the star of spiritual aspi- ration, It shines in the sky of a man's life whenever his soul yearns for God and truth and good. Often it may be hidden behind the clouds of sin and unbelief, but presently it breaks through and shines forth again. However often it may be obscured, somehow it is a star that will not be quenched. Let a| man follow it and it will bring him into the presence of Christ, in whom alone the heart can find peace and satisfac- jon. And then there are all the stars of | Christian testimony and experience, | The firmamemt of the Church’s history | is filled with an innumerable host of these stars, and_how clearly do they | light the way to Bethlehem. If seeking souls will follow in the way they lead, | they will scon be brought to the goal of | their spiritual quest at the feet of| Christ. And whatever the star that| leads men to Him, when they see the star they rejoice with exceeding great joy. My Neighbor Says: Asparagus salad blends well with a roast or fowl dinner.
