| | WOMAN'S PAGE. Rugs- From Discarded .Gowns BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A TILE RUG IN PLAIN KN]'I'KI;ING ‘The woman who goes through her wardrobe at the change of seasons finds some dresses which are not wearable, and the question is what to do with them. In the days of our forebears there seems to have been so definite a delight in transforming such garments into rugs that before they were badly worn some must have been made into needed floor-coverings. Today, same pul is as as then. To be sure, frocks are not so voluminous, and not so much is available from mod- ern dresses. But, to balance this, ‘women have more dresses’ than they used to consider needed. The amount of rags therefore to be transformed ini Tugs does not vary materially. ‘he woman who would use this prac- tical method of dressing up her floors with rugs from old frocks has many crafts to.choose from in the process. If she delights in knitting, there are excellent ways of using this -eraft. If she prefers crocheting, beautiful rugs can be fashioned in this work. Neither of these crafts requires an equipment other than knitting or crocheting peedles. Hooked, rugs require both hook and a frame to insure straight and perfectly shaped rugs.

It one prefers, the same rug plan can be developed in crothet rugs. The craft work differs, but nof the d of the rug. Squares can be done in gether, or the work can be done in stgips of alternate squares. A cro- cheted rug can be made in one piece, but it is easier to handle strips than the entire rug when it becomes sizable. Knit Tugs are always done in sections, the one exception being the circular or cartwheel knit rug, The squares do not have to be identi- cal in color for the light or the dark squares, but they must supply contrast one to the other.

It should be remembered AF | that in olden times rug schemes were carried out without exactly mat colors. Faded material is just as for rygeraft as if it were new. The slight differentes in toning are pleasing to the eye. (Copyright, 1931.)

Cook together one and one-half cup- fuls of vinegar, three-fourths cupful of sugar and one-fourth teaspoonful each of whole cloves, peppercorns and blades of mace or powdered mace for two min- utes. Add half a cupful of candied cherries and cook for five minutes, then skim, add half a cupful of raisins and cook for ten minutes. Remove from the fire. Add eighteen sweet cucumber pickles and cook for ten minutes. Ar- range in glass jars, packing in layers closely and alternating with layers of raisins, cherries and pickles. Strain the hot sirup into a jar and seal. These pickles are a little out of the ordinary and worth the time it takes to make them. They may be made several days ahead of time if desired.

STAR, WASHINGTON ho started her e the highes Girls Preferred. One career in which a girl has a better chance than & man is that of librarian. Most library jobs go to women. But, before you set out to be a librarian, make sure that you have the | right qualities and the right temper- |ament. You need to be careful and exact. A librarian who makes errors can tangle up a lot of things. You should love the outside of books as much as you like to read- them. You should like to take care of books, to see them about you. There are many_ people who love to read books but who don't care about owning them, and actually are depressed by the sight of great shelves full of books. A girl like that wouldn't make a good librarian. ‘There are special schools for librari- ans. The courses take from two to four years. There are two kinds of librarian, those in public libraries and those in private libraries. In public libraries the pay is not high in the beginning, although- the head librarian gets a good salary in big cities. But the work is steady. If you '?en a position in a public library, “you'll lI:vx-nb-bly have it for the rest of your life. In private libraries the work is nat- urally less permanent and for that reason may pay better. Occasionally a librarian in a private library like J. P. Morgan’s gets to know rare books 50 well that she can buy and sell them and make a lot of money. On the other hand, the head libraian in a big publishing library has a posi- tion of tremendous influence. She can do much if she has initiative and in- telligence, She can be a most im- portant person in her community. library work in order to writer or an editor, or anything of that sort.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy was sitting still these days and watching the world go by. She was es- pecially interested in seeing the way the children, Joan and Peter, played together and reacted toward certain things. The two were busily laying the tracks for ‘s train one day when Peter looked out’of the window and saw a policeman passing on his beat. He scur- ried into a dark corner and told Joan | to “get out of the way quick, 'cause & pliceman is coming.” Joan kept ofi | playing until Peter screamed in terror. Then Nancy stepped into the picture, She found that a neighbor child who had taken Peter for a walk had threat- ened him with a policeman and then had told a e tale of what policemen did to little children. Nancy had been trying for a year to build up her young son’s confidence in policemen. She had told him how kind they were to little children, how care- fully they watched them crossing streets and’ how ready they were to help lost children get home. . But all of this was forgotten in the |vivid tale told by & careless child. Nancy herself was terribly afraid of thunder and lightning. She had made every effort possible to hide the fear from her son and her piece. The fact that she had been scared as a child by # foolish adult was no reason why she should pass on that fear. By assum- ing a bravery getting the children to see the beauty of the lightning she had given them s sane attitude. The same thing was true of mice. Nancy was frightfully afraid of them. But she would not let her fear show in tone of voice or sl ing. Just as children like or_ dislike cer- tain foods because they hear grown- ups discuss their faddish food likings, so children become fearful of the same things which frighten foolish adults. Nancy made up her mind that in so far as she could she would lay the way for caution, but not fear, in Peter. (Copyright, 1931) | For New Color— | For Quick Color— | For PerfectColor— ! Use Tintex!

An object seen With the two normal eyes is.seen from two points of Each of the two eyes receives different images of that object. Most_ objects cast different iml%es upon the two eyes. They must be bi- Iaterally similar and shadowless and absolutely isolated from other objects to do otherwise. Such visual situations are very rare and hardly worth consid- L in any discussion of normal vision. en a visual object is close at hand, the two eyes automatically turn in- ward. This convergence makes what is called the “visual angle.” These angles of vision aré different for objects seen at different distances from you. The two images of an object alua contain markedly different backgrounds in terms of shadows. Nearby objects in the visual fleld also play & part. Qut of this situation you get what might be called “cues” to what is be- fore you in your fleld of vision. These | cues are normally acquired judgments | of space. And thus you judge the dis- tance the object is from you. (Copyris) Egg Sandwiches. Boil some eggs until hard. Peel the [ and mash the yolk and white to- gether.
