WOMAN’S PAGE. Hat Linings Should Be Cleaned BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. from head to foot. She is as particular to have the lining of her hats cleaned as to have her hosiery washed and her shoes polished. Her halr is shampooed when- ever needed, but even well washed hair cannot be free from oil if a hat lining 1s olly, as it surely is unless washed oc- cas ly. Also if there is a tendency to dandruff the scalp treatment cannot be as effectual as it should be if the ‘The dainty girl keeps every item of her wurdm?e lunmmunhe.

A hat lining quickly absorbs the oil from hair, and this plus perspiration, soon makes the lining unfit to be worn.

In this place I now and then take a rap at spiritism or spiritualism and all the other suppositions, beliefs and con- victions which assume that mind is entirely . different from, and existent outside, the body. My reason for asserting my disap- proval of these miracles of spiritualism is, after all, very simple. I cannot un- derstand the language of spiritualists such as Sir Oliver Lodge, Heward Car- rington and their followers. Moreover, | I have yet to find the person who does. As I see it, the spiritualists and those who follow them simply cannot define their terms. They use words—words— words. Nothing but words—that is, 50 far as I can find out. Ask yourself what the following terms mean: Experimental apparitions, tela- esthesia, cosmic soul, personal identity, psychic lights, vital radiations, psychic telephone, mind reading, spirit pho- tography, independent voices, vocal ‘bomb, Poltergeist manifestations, dream- body, astral body, superconsciousness, supersensible world, concordant autom- atisms, clairaudience, teleplasm, semi- material substance, ectoplasm, super- | normal biology, spirit music. Of course, I have here committed the sin of taking certain words out of their context, and then asking what they mean. I must admit that this renders my criticism_ of _spiritualism | null, vold and useless. But I plead igno- | rance even when I leave them in their context. Different writers seem to me to use them with so many different meanings. Spiritualism needs first of all a workable dictionary.

Prepare the young green onions or scallions by cutting off a few inches of the green stem and peeling the white heads. Boll in very little water about 15 min- utes until onions are tender. Do not overcook. The water should be all absorbed. If it is not drain the vegetables well. Place each portion on a toast slice and pour over all the well made and prop- erly seasoned white sauce. Sprin- NATURE’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Tlustrations by Mary Foley. XLVL THE UPPOLSTER BEE. Megachile Anthracina. upholster bee has extravagant tendencies. She is not content to have her baby sleep on mere cotton sheets like cotton bee. Velvet drapery for the walls and on the floor of the nursery must be a rug of the same texture. First, all must be made in readiness before upholstery is done. She goes about and finds an old soft wood and begins excavations, The walls are pol- ished and made damp-proof. No cab- inetmaker could be more determined to have a smooth surface on which to place the fabric. Cruising above the pride of a rose grower’s garden, the busy worker can be seen. At last she finds a bush that will yleld the glossy green material she desires and she steps upon the leaf. With her six feet she holds the edges steady while she uses her sharp, scis- sors-like jaws for compass and guide. With the final snip, she raises her wings and flies away with a circle from the leaf. Into the small room she goes and fits with care the rug upon the floor, curving it to fit the circular walls. On her second trip to the bush she selects a larger leaf and cuts a circular piece. This is placed as the first side drape on the wall. Many trips are made, the wall is draped in cool green and every seam overlaps in just the right place to hold its position. ‘The nursery is now complete and must be provisioned. Away she files to the flower garden and there helps herself to pollen and nectar. On the rug this is placed in a neat little pile, with the nectar dropped in the center of the pollen. The bee mother turns her back and places the tiny egg right in the center of the drop of nectar. She walks slowly out of the nursery. ! It is the last time she will ever enter it. To the rosebush she goes once more and cuts a large circle. It is for the | doorway and must be tucked in to keep out intruding insects. Sometimes she has the portier of double thick- | ness. At last all is done for her baby she can do and she places debris about to_hide the entrance. Many of these rooms will be con- structed. To make & place large enough for her nursery means long, tedious hours. She is the size of a bumble bee. | The wood is taken out grain by grain, | thousands and thousands of trips. | ‘The mother never sees her children. | When the egg hatches in that little | nursery, the baby knows the food was | left for her and she eats it all up, then spins & cocoon, after facing the door-| way. Later she will awake, a full- grown bee, walk to the door and with- out instruction will know she is to use | those sharp scissors of hers and cut away the front door.

For the Senator was bitten by the travel bug then and there, so much 50 that he has had restless feet ever | since. He had not been back from London very long before he set sail for Samoa with Senator Bing- ham of Connecti- cut and two mem- bers of the House to study conditions there. And now he is making plans to leave the latter part of this month with two other .Senators for tended trip to Alaska. He hardly could resist the temptation to go to Alaska. For a long time he has made a study of problems there, and since this trip is to be primarily an in- spection of wild-life resources it ap- pealed especially to him. an ex- ‘The Arkansas Senator is an ardent conservationist. Outdoor life always ap- pealed to him. Even on his trip to Lon- don, where he was to concern himself about the serious business of treaty making, he included in his luggage one or two of his favorite guns in the hope that he could find time for a little grouse shooting. His two companions on the Alaskan jaunt—Senators Walcott of Connecticut and Norbeck of South Dakota—are members of the Senate's Special Com- mittee on Wild-life Resources. ‘Their purpose in making the trip is to observe closely the effect of regula- tions promulgated recently. They, t00, are zealous conservationists, particularly Walcott, who, as chairman of the Senate Committee, will head the group. ‘With the possible exception of Sena- |tor Hawes of Missouri, Walcott's at- P | tachment for the outdoors surpasses that of any other man in the Senate. Before he came to the Senate he was head of the game and fish commission |in his State for many years. He is | credited with having done perhaps more | for conservation in Connecticut than any other man. His skill as a salmon fisherman is | known far and wide, and he has made frequent visits to the coast of New- | foundland in his quest. He holds mem- bership in numerous gun clubs in the South, where he goes to shoot duck. | At his home in Litchfield Hills, Conn., | he owns a huge lake which serves as a |refuge every year for ducks %n their | flights North and South. | In addition, he has built up a reputa- | tion as an explorer. Senator Norbeck, “a well driller by |occupation,” as he describes himself, |ranks with the others as a conserva- | tionist. He is ever ready to lend his support for conservation measures in | the Senate, whatever be their nature. JULY 2, 198 LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. This «afternoon I came out and sat on our_frunt steps and Puds Simkins was lllhn[ on Mary Watkinses frunt steps tawking to her, me thinking, Let him tawk to her, what do I care, Im not gols over, Im going to keep on sitting rite heer as if I dident give a rn. Wich I kepp ca doing, and pritty soon the newspaper boy went pass and handed me our paper, and I started to reed different parts of it after I had looked at the funnies, r abou the King and Queen of Ingland having a reception in London, the paper say- ing, Amung the other notables pre- sented to their majesties was the Duke and Dutchess of Herseyshire, Lord Dunbroke and Sir Charles Simkins.

Whats you tawking about now? Puds sed, and I sed, Did your grand hness bring back any Inglish stamps to add to_your royal cullection, Sir Charles? Your nutty, thats whats a matter with you, Puds sed, and I sed, How does it feel to be presented at cort, Sir Charles? How does it feel to be dippy? Puds sed, and I sed, You cant fool me, I show it to you in the paper. ‘Wich I did, and him and Mary Wat- kins both red it, Mary Watkins say- ing, O izzent that wonderful.

Instead of using twine or any kind of string for hanging up brooms, mops, brushes and all kinds of kitchen utensils, use ordinary picture wire. It wears indefinitely and, being stiff, will catch on hooks more easily than string. If a slice of stale bread is put in with pea soup when cooking it will prevent the peas from sinking to the bottom of the pot and burning. Paint brushes that have hard- ened may be made as godd as new if washed in hot soda water and soft soap. (Copyright, 1931).

Product of The American Oil Company FEATUR E Cool Table IT 1s quite possible to create a cool at- mosphere_on the hottest day just gl by having the table properly set. A clever woman who lives in the Southwest, where hot weather is an ac- cepted fact all Summer long, has worked the ‘thing out most ingeniously. “I have special Summer table things,” she said. “Not just a few, but a lot. In these days when you can buy glass and china and linen so reasonably, it isn't an extravagance. It isn't, any- way, because used only half the time last just twice as long, anyway, +“And I think everybody is influenced by the cool look of my table. We do a lot of entertaining. My husband brings heaps of business friends home for din- ner—more in Summer than in Winter. 80 when I was first married, I decided I'd just have to bestir myself to make 2 reputation as a hot-weather hostess. And T succeeded.” At this house, when the thermometer | registered something over 90 in the| shade, the dinner looked so cool that all felt at least 10 degrees cooler than they really were. For one thing, everything was daintily | served and prepared. The butter was put on the table in thin little cakes laid on chopped ice. It was on the table, s0 that it could be passed fre- quently, and if you took only one little }m at & time, you could always get a resh supply of cool, hard butter. ~Just that was a delight. Melted, greasy but- ter—it can certainly take the appetite away on & hot Summer evening. And there were two pewter water pitchers Is Alluring on the {able, with tinkliny ice water in them, so that you could fill your ow= whenever you wanted to. The table linen was white with a rreen stripe at the edges. Slender, ight-green candles were burning on the table. They may have added to the warmth, but they certainly looked cooler than electric lights, and as there was still some daylight, there were only two on the table. ‘The water glasses were green. The china was gayly flowered. Of course, green and white china, or White china, or green china would have been attractive. But the gay, perky little flowers were most attractive, too. Nowadeys it is quite possible to get attractive glass at a reasonable price. And pretty Summer china, too. Strawberry Delight.
