Claire Lacey appeared one day in school with her blue pique tuck-in blouse and“her wool skirt with its in- verted pleat down the front. The sew- ing teacher asked Claire whether she would mind letting her examine the skirt to see how the pleats were put in. Claire said “no indeed.” The class studied the workmanship and soon all the girls could tell their mothers how to put the pleats in skirts. Nearly every girl had a dress with such a pleated skirt. The method is as follows: Make & plain skirt, preferably not a circular one since such a skirt is apt :o sag with the best of skill in the mak- ng. After the skirt is made or planned and the front breadth is cut, get the exact center front. Measurc up this to cut a straight line from bottom of skift to hip line right up center fold. At hip line cut crosswise one and one-half inches each'side of lengthwise cut. All told the crosswise cut will measure three inches. Cuyt a straight piece of material 14 inches wide and the-depth of cut from hip line to bottom of skirt. Seam this on wrong side to the cut edges of skirt. This gives an insert of 14 inches of ma- terfal. But the skirt material is turned back the amount of crosswise cut, so there is really 14 plus 3 inches, minus the small amount taken off for seams. Get the exact center of this insert and fold the material forward on itself, so that two fol come down exact center ot skirt. Pin and press in place. Fold remainder of material back toward sides of skirt. Pin, press and stitch as shown in illustration. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Save a few baking powder tins so that you will always have four or five in good condition on hand in case you need them. The paper should be re- moved when the can is empty, and it should be washed thoroughly inside and There will be no lingering taste from the baking powder as would be the case with a coffee tin or cocoa box. Either the lid or the can is useful in cutting out bis- cults or cookies or rounds of bread for toast or sandwiches. . Baking powder boxes are useful in making frozen desserts in an iceless refrigerator. You may fill the box with one sort of mixture after it has become partly frozen or you may line the inside of the tin with one mixture and fill in the center with another. The lining may be of sherbet with a filling of mousse. ‘When ready to serve, simply wipe off the outside of the tin with a cloth wrung from hot watr in order to loosen the frozen dessert from the tin. Then take off the tin lid, tap the opposite end of the tin and your dessert will come out in a neat cylinder which may be_cut in slices to serve. Baking powder boxes are useful in making Boston brown bread and other steamed breads and puddings. If ‘bak- ing powder is used to make the batter, the tin should be filled only about three-quarters full to allow space for rising. For a steamed pudding in which little or no leaven is used, fill almost full. Por this purpose tins should be greased evenly on the inside.

If you do that, you will find that it takes all of the telligence, all of the talent, all of the energy and strength that you possess. For you will have to be a happy combination of vamp and cook, of diplomat and law-giver, of hostess and maid, of professional shopper and penny-pincher. You will have to learn how to be a spur in the side of your husband, to goad him on to make the most of himself, and a plaster on his vanity to heal the wounds his critics deal him and to keep his faith in himself alive. You will have to acquire the subtle art of managing him without his knowing it and cajoling him into doing the things that he ought to do.

Taylor, who has been elected for 12_consecutive terms | to the House as a Democrat, has justi completed a task that he set for him- self years ago.

And occa- sional references in Eastern and North- ern newspapers to the so-called “ki leidoscopic politics’ of the West he re- sents. He is fond of re- peating that old saying: “The timid never started West and the weak died on the way.” ‘Taylor himself went West in '81 as a young school teacher and was the first principal of the high school in that famous old mining town of Leadville, Colo., when he was only 23 years old. For 50 years he has lived in and loved the West. It was this which prompted him to undertake an exhaustive study of the West, more particularly of those persons who have come to Congress Under his personal supervision there has been gathered what he thinks might be called “an official roll call of the West.” He has assembled in one chronological and alphabetical order the congressional pioneers of the West- ern half of the United States. Sixteen States are includ:d in the study. The record starts at the time each of the States was admitted to the Union. It was necessary for him to start from the treaty with Mexico of Guadalupe Hidalgo of Febriiary 2, 1848, and come on down to February 2, 1931—83 years. During this time he found that there have been 204 Senators from the 16 States. Of this numbcr, 133 were Re- publicans, 63 were Democrats, 4 were Populists, and the 4 others were inde- pendents of various kinds. From those States have come 429 Rcpresentatives, of whom 264 were Republicans, 130 were Democrats, 13 were Populists and 22_were various kinds of independents. During their tcrritorial days these States sent to Washington a total of 105 delegates to the House of Repre- sentatives, e 0ecevcecccccos ENoted Beauty Findsf +Dandy Way to Make Gray Hair Dark Helen Lang Says It’s The Best Way To Stay Young Looking, “What shall I do, my hair is get- ting gray?” I recommend only one preparation and I've tried them all.
