a THE HERALD, MONMOUTH, OREGON 3n-WQfiinotP 7 ANT to turn rainy, blustery, stuy- iii-the-house days, nlso long win ter evenings into hours of Joy for tin? children of the household? Fastest thing in the world to do. If you start them carving toys out of soup, heau tlfjliig them with sealing was paint. Tin' work Is not only fascinating hut Instructive as well. Orown-ups them selves will welcome an excuse to show the "kiddies" how, for It's lots of fun making these toys. In this brief article one cannot go lnt' minute detail hut "a word to the wise Is sufficient." The materials reeded are simple Just an obloug bar or more of white soap that floats, a LOTS OF FUN TO penknife or a paring knife, nnd seal ing wax of various bright colors, also white or transparent amber. To prepare the sealing wax paint, break it Into small pieces, place each color In a separute little screw-top Jar and cover the wax scantily with dena tured alcohol. Put the covers on the jars and allow to stand until the seal ing wax dissolves, which is usually about twenty-four hours. In the meantime draw on paper an elephant or a duck. The outline pat tern in the picture is half size. Cut this out and stick it on the top sur face of the bar of soap so it cannot slip. Then cut away the soap from around the pattern. Iu" other words carve out the toy as if sculpturing. Now comes the fun of coloring with the sealing wax paint Any child's NOVEL SHORT animal picture book Is good to refer to for ideas for painting. The figures of the little girl and the kitty with the guitar which you see, are photographs of real pictures, such as one can cut out of gay printed crepe tissue paper. These can be used the same as patterns. After the carving put of the figure, It can be gone over with sealing wax paint. Kot only do these carved llgures make pretty toys, but as ornamental figures for the mantel or the cabinet they furnish a gay note of color. If these carved figures are to be used as ornaments, tiny colored Jew els can be pressed In for eyes, doing bo while the sealing-wax paint Is still moist. The gorgeously painted rug thrown over the elephant as pictured here could be enriched with Jewel In crustations. Why not select one's spring suit now? t'.et the thrill of being swept along on the current of fashion at the beginning of Its onrush toward that which Is new and "different." If you would be smartly attired ou these mldseason days which lead on to spring, choose a short-jacket suit of plaid, such as the model in this pic ture, for the mode Is enthusiastic over this type. The new woolen plaids In tended for the spring tallleur are In deed handsome, but perhaps no more so than the lovely Jacqunrd weaves or smart tweeds iu check formation. MAKE THESE At any rate novelty cloth two-piece suits are the thing for immediate wear and for the weeks to come. Their pop ularity seems to be assured from the advance notices. Among points to decide In regard to the new suit is that of double or sin gle breast Better flip a penny to find out which you'll have, for the mode favors either. And then comes that Important subject of pockets, for pickets Jauntily positioned are the pride of this season's tailored mode. Oh, yes. In regard to the plaits In the skirt, they may be kick plaits at the front, or they may be grouped at the right side of the front. The compose Idea Is especially ex ploited In the short-jacket mode, such as the jacket of mannish worsted In all black, braid bound at all its edges JACKET SUIT with a skirt of gray and black striping. For immediate wear many are pre ferring a little velvet coat with a plaid skirt. Sounding an entirely new note are youthful suits in homespun or tweed with collar facing and belts of flat fur, preferably calfskin in solid beige, or in spotted white and beige, or black splotched with white. The entire en semble is carried out In harmonizing or, rather, blended colors. Suits In solid colored twills will be good. Ever so much is being said In regard to navy blue, for which fashion declares a coming successful season. In smooth surfaced cloth suits the trend Is to intricate seaming with con ventional use of pin-tucks. JULTA BOTTOMLEY. (, 1927, Western Newipaper Union,) j SSfe 4 i i?y ffMrtlHM THEIR PHOPHECY CAME TRUE By KIRT BRADY (Copyright, by W. U, Chapman.) . JIM BENNKTT and .Arthur Itoyce were described us the two boys In the village who least resembled each other. Bennett was selling newspapers when ha was seven aud planning a monopoly among village magazine subscribers. Arthur Itoyce at that age was described as the best pupil In the Sunday school. Naturally, Jim was the favorite among the towns people, who admired hustle a good deal more than they admired sanctity. However, Arthur was not sancti monious. He was Just a hard-work-. Ing, docile sort of chap. At fifteen he wns clerking In a store to support his widowed mother, and turning lu his eight dollars a week to eke out her Civil war pension. At the same age Jim Bennett wns expelled from school as incorrigible, and being laughed at and petted by his adoring parents, who were already planning his college career. Thomas Bennett was president of two batiks and re puted to be rolling In money. At the same age MUltcent 1'atterson was publicly telllug Arthur that she preferred Jim anyhow, because he wasn't a milksop, and besides, Jim was rich and she meant to marry a wealthy man when she grew up. "I'm going to be wealthy," au swered Arthur, setting his teeth, "and you're going to marry me." Mllllceut was secretly impressed, but she made short work of Arthur's pretensions. "I wouldn't marry you In a million years," she said. "Tiie man I marry must go to college." Arthur planned to work his way through college, but his mother lived through a long period of Invalidism, and that put an end to his ambitious plans. What happened was that Ben nett, senior, took the boy Into his bank, where at twenty-two, he . was earning twenty dollars a week. Soon afterward Bennett senior died, leaving the hanks to Jim, and Jim came home from college with the expressed Inten tion of making things hum. Milllcent and Arthur were on speak ing acquaintance, but the young fel low had never got much further with her. When Jim came home there was not much doubt whom she preferred. She did not take much pubis to hide It from Arthur, either. Arthur went to work for Jim. who considerately raised his salury to thirty dollars. He told Mm, with a grin, that he would be able to get married on it, If he lived frugally. By this time Jim Bennett and Milll cent Patterson were as good as en gaged, in the opinion of the towns people. Jim Bennett operated a car two cars, for the matter of that, and the two were to be seen together ev erywhere. People went so far as to say that If they were not engaged they ought to be. They were engaged, but what de termined Milllcent to have it an nounced was the behavior of Arthur Itoyce. He was calling on her by this time, and one evening he seemed some how different from what he usually was. Milllcent said to herself, with a laugh, that he was falling In love with her. But she was not prepared for his sudden proposal, nor for the tragic way In which he took her refusal. "I always told you I'd marry a rich man and a coOege man, and you are neither, Arthur," said Milllcent "And I told you I would marry you, and I will," answered the boy. "Maybe you will," replied the girl, "but I'm going to marry Mr. Bennett first, anyway," Site stretched out a slim, white hand. "This is my engage ment ring," she said. "Isn't It pretty?" Arthur ran from the house. A week later the engagement was announced. Somehow there lurked the rudiments of a heart In Milllcent. She was sorry for Arthur, and she said notlilug about his proposal to Jim. But that was what was at the back of h?r request that the announcement should be made. Nobody was greatly surprised, and everyone said that she was a lucky girl, and maybe Jim Ben nett would steady down a ' bit with her hand on the checkrein. They were married in the commu nity church, and the wedding was the event of the week. There were col umns about It In the papers. Arthur read them In his ball bedroom. Ills grip lay packed on the bed. He had resolved to run away, anywhere, with out notice, but when he had finished rending them he suddenly sat up and squared his shoulders. "I'll slay," he said. "And I'll get her. Somehow in heaven if not on earth." Which expression, though far fetched, might be pardonable In a young fellow of twenty-three. Jim Bennett had made things hum when he returned from college, as he had said he would, and lie kept up the process after his return from the honeymoon. During the next two years Jim Bennett and his wife made the money fly. They Inhabited the finest house In the town, and life was for them a succession of entertain: merits and pleasures. Arthur Itoyce was now getting forty a week, Ben nett never w him and seemed to have forgotten him. But Milllcent bowed. There Is something about a rejected lover that makes a woman feel tender toward him. Two years passed nnd Bennett be- cume a tliniiicliil lender lu the place. A few who watched knew that till af fairs were unstable. Arthur was among these. And for Mlllleent's sake be dreaded the crash that must come. But Bnnett 'plunged more wildly, un til the banks were tottering upon the verge of the precipice, while Bennett Juggled with his millions anil refused to look fads In the face. He treated his wife badly, too, everyone knew. There were reports of his Infatuation for several women successively. " Arthur suw Milllcent rarely, hut he noticed the progres sive look of uuhuppincss upon her face, Bennett began to notice Itoyce again. He raised him to fifty, chief ly because another bank, an old. con servative Institution, wanted to get hold of him. Arthur would hardly have left, but he bad an Instinct against leaving his present bank when It was In difficulties. One day the truth came out, Ar thur hud been sent to Bennett's houso on an Important errand. He found Bennett out, but as be was about to leave Milllcent came In, "What did he send you fort" sho cried hysterically. "The manager sent me, Mrs. Ben nett. It was ubout a private mat ter." "A banking matter?" "Yes." She burst Into tears. "I thought he sent you to taunt me," she cried. "Ho has told me I ought to have married you. O, I am so wretched." She cried on his shoulder. During that Interval the young inun learned many things of Bennett's Infidelity, of his dishonor. He had made her life a misery from the day they were mar rled. Presently she grew calm. "I should not have spoken In this way," she suld. "But sometimes I think of the old days do you ever remember them. Arthur?" Somehow the boy tore himself away. Itcmember them? When they lay upon his mind forever? Somehow he managed to leave. Ills last memory of Mllllceut was of a pale-faced woman who watched hint at the door pathetically, as If noth ing In life was worth living fur. Faster nnd faster Bennett's banks careened toward disaster. The com ing crash was cleur to everybody now. Bennett himself went ubout with an anxious face and glum expression. It was at first a matter of mouths, then oue of weeks then people Just waited. Arthur Itoyce walled. He was thinking all the time of Mlllicent and wondering what she would do. One afternoon Bennett sent for Ar thur to come to bis house. Arthur had not been there since that lust Inter view with MUltcent. He did not like the task ; hut he went, because It was part of his duty. "Mr. Bennett Is In his library, sir," said the butler. "He said you were to go right In when you came." Arthur went lu. He saw Bennett seuted at his desk. Bennett did not look up, und when Arthur approached he saw that he was quite dead, with a bullet hole through his head. Upon the desk was a letter addressed td him. Arthur opened It. Take her. She loves you,'! was all that It contained. Arthur never quite remembered the details of the following hour his hasty summons of a doctor, the ter rified servants; lastly Milllcent, whom he had vainly tried to keep out of the room, standing before tier husband's body. And she wrung her hands, aud all she could say was: "I meant to leave him tomorrow." "It was six months before Arthur saw Milllcent Bennett again. She hud been traveling. When she came back she went to her old home. She an nounced that she wus going to open a school. All the heartlessness seemed to have died when Bennett died. But Arthur had other plans for her. "Do you remember, dear," he said to her one day, "how I used to tell you you would marry me, aud your own prophecy? Yours has come true. Now make mine true. I am going to take over the managership of the Fifth National next month, and dear est, I have loved you so long," And Arthur thus came Into his own. The Record Alexander Simpson, the prosecutor In the Hall case, told a story at a dinner In Trenton. "Talking about bribery and cor ruption," he said, "I heard of a re markable case the other day. For sheer brazen audacity It would be hard to beat. "As a court crier came out of court for his luncheon one day the plaintiff in a damage suit stepped up to him and said: "I beg your pardon, but you know the Judge, don't you? 1 "'Oh, yes,' said the crier. "The plaintiff took out a two-dollar bill. "'Please give hltn this with my com pliments,' he said, 'and tell him there are plenty more where It camt- from ' " Women's Fire Brigade The first women's fir brigade in Germany has been formed 'n the vil lage of OberJoch. situated high up In the Allegueuer Alps. It came Into being because the housewives of the town, solicitous for the safety of their homes, were not satisfied that the existing fire brigade, comprising vir tually all the brawny mules In- the hamlet, afforded sufficient means of protection should a big Are break out In their absence at work In the forests. The women firefighters, however,, are for the most part not less husky than the men. (The Kitchen Cabinet (& 1J, WMltm Newepaper Union.)

Vegetables because of their bulk, form a large part of our necessary food, Vegetables are rich In mineral suits aud acids as well as the growth determi nants called vita mines, which are lnvuluable lu the diet of the child at any time, Fried cornmeal mush Is a food "which will stay by" until another meal. Bits of chopped meat, chicken or dried fruits udded to the mush will make It more tasty und nourishing. Cut Into slices and fry for breakfust Less butter Is used on griddle cakes If a little Is added to the sirup used on the cakes. Gum -camphor In the sliver chest will keep It from tnrnlshlng. Cleun the painted walls of the kitchen on a damp day or with the room steaming with hot water; this lessens the work by hulf. A little paraffin rubbed over the kitchen range will keep It from get ting rusty. Always save all the paraffin from the tops of Jelly glasses, wash It care fully and It Is ready to melt and use again. Muriatic acid will cleun sinks and all bathroom porcelains. Ulnse thoroughly after using or It Is apt to remove the glaze If left on too long. This acid Is very poisonous and should be used with care. A cupful of any kind of good fla vored cheese finely chopped or grated, added to a white suuee is good over tonst or as a sauce for scalloped onions, cabbage or potatoes. Sour milk when used In cukes makes a more moist, tender and better tla vored product, and It keeps longer. Use one-hulf teuspoonful of soda to a cupful of thick sour milk. To keep a Juicy pie from boiling over add a small paper funnel In the opening. The Juice will boll up in this and go back Into the pie. Make over worn tablecloths and put away for emergency cases. - When roasting chicken place It In the roasting pan breast wide down and baste frequently. The Juices will sea son the breast and make It better flavored. Cun tops are easily ruined by using a knife to cut round the edges when opening the can.
