NANCY PAGE Envy Rejected When Fingers Are Clever. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Claire wanted to dressing table for did not see Not dlunud. Claire brought her Te- quest in another form. “Let me buy a Rlu‘htn table, the unpainted, wooden- kind. Then I can cover it to my own dressing table.” Pirst, Claire covered the top with Canton flannel or cotton ‘cloth of simi- Jar kind for padding. She tacked this on with tiny tacks, sometimes known as shade tacks. The flannel was cut large enough to reach over the edges and fasten underneath. she covered the top with ivory- laged chintz, plain. She chose this :euuae her flounced skirt was made of glazed chintz in pink and ivory. She cut buckram to cover the drawer front, pasted it in place, covered it with chintz. The sides were covered in same manner. She allowed one a half times as much width for apron as actual meas- ‘urement around sides and front of table. She had this picoted in scallops. A double shirring was put at top, first turning under the raw edges. This was tacked in place as soon as the pet- tiskirt of lightweight unbleached muslin with its pleated flounce of ivory-glazed chintz had been made and tacked to the frame. A fancy narrow braid in pink and fvory was blindstitehed along the edges ‘where apron had been tacked to tal frame. inside of drawer was mmeled mnk and plate glass was cut to fit the top. And there’ she was— ‘with a m:n dressing table of her own. Pennnt Bars. Shell one quart of roasted peanuts, gemove the skins and chop the nuts fine.

Children who do not obey Are In denger every das —Old Mother Nature. The five young Flickers who first came onut of the home in the telegraph polz to learn to_ climb had become clever in getti about on that pole by the time the er four ventured out. It was surprising how rapidly some of them could dodge around that pole. It was great fun to play hide-and-seek. In playing the young Flickers were learning how to use their feet and tails and how to dodge, most important | things to learn. | They all thought the Great World, or l\wh of it as they could see from that ph pole, a very wonderful place. is wondes Mother Yel- low Wing, “but also it is & very danger- ous place for the careless and those who are not always watchful. None of you know yet what real danger is, but sooner or later each one of you will be in a very dangerous place and it is necessary that you should know just what to do. You haven’t so many enemies to fear as some other feathered folk, and for this you should be thank- ful. However, you must always be on watch. There are two or three mem- bers of the Hawk family who would be only too glad of a Flicker dinner, and | always you must watch out for Black Pussy.

FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONBOE. ‘There is a certain sort of gloom that sometimes settles over the two who sit at the head and foot of the family dinner table when it becomes apparent that bills are running high. Interest- ingly enough, this gloom is occasionally to be found in the household of a $20,000 income as well as in the more usual two or three or four thousand- dollar-a-year households. 1t doesn’t really seem to be so much a matter of set income as of an adjust- ment between that income and the de- mands, or supposed demands, of the family. “I guess I'll have to work nights” says the average money getter when this state of affairs becomes apparent. The man who runs his own business sometimes comments that he'll have to cut down office expenses—this seems easier than the vague task of making household economics. But, after all, it is not a very difficult task to make a few adjustments in the hcusehold that will not have any permanent effect on the standard of living of the family, but will lower expenses at least tem- porarily. Here are some ways in which it is usually unwise to economize: If you use every bit of milk that the milk man leaves, don’t cut down the milk bill. | You can cut.down the amount spent on vegetables without cutting down the | quantity of vegetables consumed, a| process which is a bad idea from the | point of wholesome diet.

Answer—Falling hair, excessive, is a normal process that should not cause alarm. Build up your general health and so strengthen and nourish the new hair that is re- placing the old dead hairs. (2) Use a stimulating scalp tonic two or three times a week. Massage the scalp every night and morning and brush your hair thoroughly. Here is a stimulating scalp tonic that you may use regu- larly: One dram tincture of can- tharides, 1 dram salicylic acid, 2 drams borie acid, 10 drops tincture of ca oum, 2 ounces castor oil, 10 ounces rum. (3) After washing the face wit soap and warm water rinse well for several minutes in cold water. Dry and pat on a little of the following lotion: ‘Twenty grains sulphate eof zine, 1 ounce cologne water, 2 ounces rose water. Shake well. Apply with a piece of elean absorbent cotton and allow it to dry on the skin.
