"We call her Joan of Art. because she's so different." Eula returned. "Seems not to care for anything but messing with' mud this way. She hunts it up for herself—goes to every cut and clay-bank in walking I'll-I188." "She ought to have modelling clay." Turner interrupted. Eula shook her head dubiously. saying: “Maybe so. But nothing can possibly come of it except the waste of time-it would be a pity. short as they are of money. to waste even the least bit that way." "Is she beset” Turner demanded.

After an hour' he saw a slim girl, lithely angular. in worn garments that had somehow a touch of artistry about them. walk hesitantly down the line of Art Exhibits. stop suddenly as if froun, and stare hard. her hands clenching and unclenching like lightning. Her eyes. deep hasel with green lights at bottom, gave out a spark as you looked at them. A half minute she stood tensely still then darted forward her right hand clenched—evidently to strike-and strike hard. Turner caught it barely in time.

But when you send a rapidly him current through a wire you run into something new: he “skin effect' that we deecri recently in the Primer.

ANY. NEITHER. NONE ROPERLY. tin tcrm "each P other" is to be used of only one pair of persons or (lungs which stand in relation. and term "one another" only of more than tWo such persons or things. Thus. we may say. "The two friends presented gifts to each other." but not "to one another": "all of the nations of the earth should dWeli in unity with one another." not. "with each other." There are. however. authorities on grammar who hold that the two phrases may be used‘ . i | i i l l I lit“ E i l l i x ‘v i i i interchangeably: for example, Lind-l ley Murray says. "Two negatives in English destroy one another." A similar distinction is made by grammarinns between "either" and "any." and between “neither" and "none." "Either" and “neither" ap- ply to two; "any" and “none" to more than two. Thus. do not say. "I have not seen either of the three men": "neither of the twelve Jurors was convinced of the man's guilt." l I . i . l i I KEEPING THEIR EYES FIT [can be seen without close application.

This, of course. should he done when the light is favorable nnd when it is not there- fore necessary for them to squint in order to see. Children used to be taught to sew at very tender ages. and this un- doubtedly. accounts for many of the spectacled middle-aged women we see nowadays.

AVID you heard of the fruit salad hstsf Of course fruit has been used to trim hats before this. in feet away back in the days when Empress Eugenie ruled the world of much fashion artificial grapes. currents and other fruit were considered very smart as festeens for the hair as well as trimmings for bats. But this fruit salad style is new. for never before has such a variety of fruit been used in the trimming of one hat and never before has the fruit used been so true to life. One of these hats. much admired abroad. consists of a green crino- line straw—undoubtedly repre- senting the bed of lettuce—4n which is placed an interesting col- lection of peaches, apples. black currents, red currents and other fruit. An odd arrangement of trial. thing is to be found in the hat shown in the sketch. Two long feathers are thrust through the brim on either side with the ends circling round under the chin like the strings on a baby’s bonnet. The sketch also shows s. novel blouse trimming, consisting of painted pelicsns placed on a blouse of white satin crepe. Small white buttons further ornament the blouse. which was designed by Bones of Paris. In such vagaries as these fashion delights this season. always favor- . in those which are capricious but still in good taste and these that are really grotesque. Thus wooden beads of the sort that children string on colored twine are employed by milliners to ornament neat little summer hats. They borrowed colored rafila from the kindergarten sev- eral seasons ago and new they are going to the same scuree for wooden beads. .‘WISE AND OTHERWISE our or m anew nox . .bliii very simple way to use up 0 the bread in the bread be: is , , to feed it to the sparrows and other birds who soon learn to con- gregate in your back yard in ex- pectation of your generOsity. This is very nice from the birds' point of _view. but not good economy. Of course you should be careful to use up one loaf of bread before you buy more. but even then you will find left-over pieces on hand. lf you have out too much bread for one meal. these slices should not be served again. but should be used for toast. In the meantime put all the odd pieces of bread you cannot use in this way in a dish or tin and when you have the oven lighted place' them in the plate warmer, or put them in the even some tat?“ after it has been turned off. Be re that they do not become browned and that they are dried throughout. if you like you may let some of the pieces become slightly browned and then serve these for luncheon or J , Renee blouse or white satin crepe mm with painted pclimns and mi!

To make bread- crumbs the pieces should not be really browned but should he rolled out with a rolling pin on a rolling- beard until they are well crushed. lf yen like you may sift these. puts ting the very fine crumbs in-ene place and the coarser crumbs in another. .The line crumbs are useful when making croquettes 'or meat'losfs or anything else that calls for cracker or breadcrumbs. Coarser crumbs maybe used in making gratin dishes of various sorts. There are many ways of using breadcrumbs that are not dried. 'f‘hus bread sauce, which the English regard as indispensable with chicken. is made from moist breadcrumbs. In making veal and pork loaf a good plan is to make a good bread sauce. from a cup of fine moist crumbs with enough milk to make a nice thick paste. Add this to about two pounds of meat mixture. one egg and the juice of an onion. in little sage and other seasoning and your loaf is ready to be rolled in fine dried crumbs. Place in a baking-pan well greased. set it in a hot oven and leave for about five minutes. Then add seine hot water or hot stock to the bottom of the pan and continue cooking. basting as needed.
