MAGAZINE PAGE. Net Inserts for BY MARY MARSHALL. UCH an admission to have to make! But the fact is that we haven't had time to investigate and we haven't tried to do any experimenting and we cannot tell you precisely how to make the new net inserts that are to trim the black canton crepe dress shown in today's | sketch. The dress was one of the most attractive models shown at a review a Canton Crepe flowers lightly on the material. Then | cut the material one-quarter of an inch within the marked line. Turn under with raw edges on the wrong sides, | baste down and then lay the material | smoothly over the black silk net and baste the edges of the flower cutouts to the net. The edges where net meets | the silk crepe are worked in close over- and-over stitches with black embroidery silk. You may decide to do this as the next step or you may find it easier to make a line of sewing-machine stitches along the edge of the flower petals to give a firm basis for the cord-like edg- ing of embroidery.

Perhaps not more than once a week— perhaps not at all—but the fact re- mains that almost half the meat con- T sumed in this country is pork in one form or another. Ham, bacon and| other cured pork products make up the major part of the pork eaten, but there | are many delicious ways of serving fresh pork, which in these days of per- fected refrigeration may be eaten all the year round. Experts in the Bureau of Home Eco- nomics have conducted experiments to | determine the best ways of cooking | fresh pork and here are some of the| conclusions they have drawn | Pork should be cooked so that it is| at_the outside. Moderate cooking temperature is best | after the surface becomes seared, as this insures the thorough cooking thal‘ 6% days ago and we wanted to pass | the idea along while it is still very new. | Any clever amateur can easily make | use of the idea, however, without dif- ficulty. The little inserts are filled in with black silk net and in the dress in question the top of the bodice was lined | with pale, flesh-colored georgette to | givé a uniform tone beneath the net. If you want to make & dress with this sort of trimming the first thing to | do would be to cut out the material and then to mark the outlines of the LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

So in time of trouble they have only each other to turn to. This has made them very cunning and | smart and, with their boldness and wil- lingness to live in places no one else | would think fit to live in, has enabled them to do more mischief in the Great World than all other folk together. So when Robber discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Monkey-face the Barn OWIS had & nest and family in Farmer Brown's barn he knew that this was no place for him and his family to make| | their home. It was too dangerous. They | must move and move at once. 8o he called together the family, the chil- dren, the grandchildren, the aunts, the | uncles, the brothers, the sisters and the cousins, and told them just what he had found out and just what the danger was. “If there were but one Owl here we | might stay by being extra careful,” said he. “We might even stay with two Owls here. But with two Owls and & big family of growing babies to be fed this is no place for us. We must move and do it without delay. Not only must we leave this barn, but we must leave this neighborhood. We must go where these Owls are not likely to follow and | ind us.” “Where is there such a place?” de-| manded & half-grown young Rat. | “You will have to follow me to find out,” replied Robber. “I hope you don't | think I have lived as long as I have without traveling and picking up knowl- edge in my travels. This isn't the first | time I have had to move. A wise Rat | will always know of a place to go if it chance that he must leave hurriedly the | place where he is living. There is an- other barn almost as good as this, but it is quite & long way from here. 4 such a journey be very dan- inquired a timid young Rat. “Yes, but not so dangerous &8s re- maining here,” replied Robber. “Of course if you want to remain here it is your privilege to do so. As for me and Mrs. Robber and the children who are “Today when the sun is brightest,” replied Robber. At this there was a chorus of protests, | for the ways of the Rat are ways of | darkness and he fears the light lest he | be seen. Robber grinned. “No Rat goes | out in daylight if he can help it unless | he knows that no enemy is about,” said | he. “Therefore enemies are never on the watch for us in the middle of the day. Those Owls will be asleep then. Reddy Fox will not be around. Much as we dislike the light, it will be the safest time for us to move.” So at high noon, when he had first made sure that Filp the Terrier was nowhere about, Robber the gray old Rat led a strange procession out from the| back of Farmer Brown's barn.

I am convinced that, after profes- | stonal ornithologists, the first folk to notice the signs of returning Spring are children, for it is they who, hastening along to school, cutting through wood- Iots or vacant lots, see the first speed- well flowers opening their blue eyes and hear the first of the grackle congrega- tions in full session. A hundred grackles do not make a Summer nor even a day in Spring, since their migrations are chiefly inane jun- ketings and their songs are merest gos- sip and rumor. Yet, even 5o, they make us feel like Spring. and I'm grateful to any creature that will do that along about this time of year. | as harbingers of the glad news—that they are, £o far as I have observed, the : 30c a day : $10 a month buys a General Electric Refrigerator, and years of uninterrupted, setvice-free refrigeration service! When the i acknowledged best costs so little to own, can | you afford to be satisfied with less? Actually, your General Eectric costs nothing, for its savings can bring back to you every cent of its cost. From the moment of instal- lation, these savings commence. Go to market less often, buy in quantity at bargain prices, and save much of your monthly food bill. Left- I can say this much for the grackles | WOME S variety. ‘Though the faithful bluebird and robin remain with us, they do not begin their mating songs until some mates are in progress. But grackle so- clety is not migratory. Like gypsies, they knock about the countryside, thiev- ing, showing off their bright colors, jabbering and confabbing. Many country folk call grackles “blackbirds” hereabout, as I did myself in childhood, when I was convinced that they were the four and twenty blackbirds who, when the pie was opened, began to sing. Having heard the European blackbird, who is a spe- cles of thrush with a merry, oily so like our robin's, but more beautiful, and like our oriole’s, but less beautiful, I can say that there is little resemblance to our grackle, who is much nearer to being a raven. I am convinced that the grackle could be taught to talk if he were caged and his tongue clipped—provid- ing any one cared for such cruel sport. His song is certainly very close to speech, as are the ravens' and jack- | daws’ songs and the starlings’. overs can be preserved until FEATURES.
