Pencil-Painting on Stamped Linen By CHERIE NICHOLAS Eft ft 9 'lv4(M Yet, we agree with you that this rfovely wall-hanger as illustrated looks M If It might be a rare bit of tapestry, borrowed, perhaps, from a collection of priceless art treasures or gracing the walla of a rrlncely home. In ap pearance It Is all that, but here Is the amarlng truth about this renaissance Vary the Way of Cooking v inter Vegetables Winter vegetables need not become monotonous if one takes pains to vary the way they are cooked. Here's a combination of two good foods that can be found In every country stor age cellar and on any grocer's counter In the country. Yet, when put together they make a tasty dish that seems like oraething new. This Is an excellent accompaniment to roast pork or roast beef In fact, to any meat dish which gains savor by the addition of cooked apples. The bureau of home econom lea of the United States Department of Agriculture enumerates the Ingredi ents needed: ( medlum-slied car rots f tart applet 2 tha. fat 1 tbs. eupar tsp. salt Scrape the carrots and cut them lengthwise Into thin slices. Tare the apples or leave the skin on, as pre ferred, core, and cut Into slices about a fourth of an Inch thick. Tlace a Ingle layer of the apples and the carrots in a large skillet with the fat, Evening Fairy Tale for lou could have told from Letty's eyes that (she was a very .bright bird. The eyes of the bird always show Just how much wisdom and intelli gence the bird has, and Letty proved that she had a great deal. When any one spoke to lief, her eyes looked very bright. They watched the person who was speaking to her, showing she was listening and paying attention. If her eyes had wandered ail about the would have shown she wns stupid. A bird Is very much like a person Never, Never Still. fn thlg way. When you speak to peo ple and they let their eyes gaze on anything and don't pay attention to any one thing they're not so bright and keen. Letty belonged to a little girl named Alice. Now Alice fed her parrot some very nice seeds and bits of corn. Letty thought ihe had fine food, and every day after lunch Letty would have a piece of cake. mm 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 wall panel It Is merely a matter of stamped linen worked with aquarello water-color pencils. And the best part of It Is that the amateur who does not know the first thing about art can work up these exquisite effects simply by following directions In the use of colored pencils which are sold cover tightly and cook until well browned, turn and brown the other side. Just before the cooking Is fin ished apriukle with the sugar and salt. Serve on a hot platter, first a layer of carrots.'then a layer of apples, so the two can be lifted together. Lemon Has Variety of Uaes in Any Household The lemon h;is a variety of uses In the household aside from that of food. A slice of lemon kept near the sink in the kitchen Is useful for removing fruit and vegetable stains from the hands, nnd helps to keep them smooth and soft. A half lemon placed in the washing machine makes the laundry beautifully white. Lemon Juice and salt rubbed on an iron-scorched spot on white garments, then placed In the sun, will remove the $poL It is excellent as a dentifrice, and makes a refreshing mouth wash. Used In the bath It softens the wa ter and gives a delightful feeling of freshness and exhillration. Lemon Juice Is healing to small sores or cuts, even though the first sensation may not be so pleasant By MARY GRAHAM BONNER It was a small piece but It wag ex tremely good! Letty learned to say almost every thing after a while. My, what a talker she became. And she wanted to show Alice how pleased Hhe was with everything so she chatted pleasantly most of the time. When callers would come they would ask if the parrot was ever tttill, and then Letty would suy: "Kver still? No, never Btili." They always laughed then, and did not mind her chattering. For after they had been there a little while Let ty muttered and said things In very low tones so as not to disturb any one. It was night time and Letty had her head under her wing. Sometimes she slept this way, Just as a canary would sleep. Rut often she would huddle up on her perch and doze off with her head dropping down a little on her chest. Rut this night she was sound, sound ulseep and her bend was hidden away while she was dreaming of seeds and cuke und all the goodieg that par rots love. All of the family were asleep when Letty Hoemed to notice something strange. She didn't like the smell that came to her. Now she was wide awake. She didn't want to disturb the fami ly. She was a good parrot, and never disturbed any pne who might be sleep Ing. Rut this she knew was not right. She was sure of it. The smell became stronger and there wag something rather frightful about it In most all fancy work departments for this type of work. Resides wall hangers depict Ink vari ous scenes, linen pictures can be had for framing, also pillow tops. How ever, now that Interior decorators have In this day nnd age revived the vogue for wall hangers nnd are plac ing so much emphasis on their effec tiveness, we selected this very pretty specimen as a most timely theme. The Idea In brief Is that by moisten ing the linen and working with the colored pencils according to the printed chart which comes with each subject the tones and tints resolve themselves Into a most exquisite water-color effect. Materials for this work Include a small brush, a box of colored pencils, the stamped linen piece (every pat tern has a chart attached giving the color scheme) also material for lining. The first step Is to dip the brush In water and moisten a small portion of the design. Then work over with the pencils using the chart as a color guide. The little panel centered In the illustration Indicates this chart In miniature. On the original, tiny let ters are printed "IT for black, "r" for yellow and letters In combination when two colors are to bo blended. To make a stronger effect the pencil itself Is dipped In water.

When making pastry prepare more than is needed and place In a cold place or ice chest, tight ly covered with waxed paper. The thoroughly chilled mixture mnkes more flaky crust than that baked at once. From this pastry a few tarts may be made In a hurry., or cheese straws, a meat pie, usin." ?ftover meat. Ice box rolls t.re another special than can be mixed and left In the ice chest for a week. Take off Just the amount needed for rolls nnd put them to rise; when light, bake. A tin of delicious rolls are quickly served. An hour or two before baking make them Into small roils and keep very warm, tightly covered. It Is better to grease them well with lard that keeps the flour from drying out on t"p while rising. They should be more than double their bulk when put Into the oven. When baking potatoes prepare enough so that the next day a few Children She got off her perch and went Into tho room where Alice's daddy slept Then she shrieked at the top of her parrot voice, "Never, never still. Never still, never still." Alice's daddy woke right up. So did the other members of the family. And It was Letty who saved them all. She had smelt fire and If Alice's daddy hadn't noticed right away the spark that had come out of the fire place, which hadn't been put out as carefully as usual, would have set fire to everything.

The bureau of home economics of tho United States Department of Agriculture tells how to make celery fritters: 1 cups sifted loft wheat flour tsp. lt t tsp. baking pow der 1 esrir 1 cup milk 1 cups chopped celery 1 tbs. melted fat Rift together the flour, snlt, and bak ing powder, add the beaten egg, milk, celery, and fat. Fry the celery frit ters In deep fat or, If preferred, In a skillet in shallow fut. In either case drop the mixture by spoonfuls into the fat and fry rather slowly. The fritters need time to cook through to the center before the outside becomes too brown.'

Several good results are obtained by teaching children, from the earliest age, to feed themselves nnd take part In filch activities as laying their own places nnd carrying food to and front the table. They soon learn, also, to help mother by setting the table for ninny meals nnd putting away silver and other clean utensils and dishes after meals. The most Important effect of en couraging self help at meal times Is of course on tho child himself, llo de velops steadiness In his muscles and self confidence as ho gradually bo comes able to manage, a plate, or gla-s, or trny containing both, without spilling anything. The little boy In this picture from the bureau of home economics of the 1'ultod Slates Do partment of Agriculture Is only three, and be has reached a point where he can safely carry his own lunch from the kitchen to his little table. He calls It "playing cafeteria." The Joy of accomplishment In doing this means far more to a little child thnn an adult often realizes. Some times mothers who ur In a hurry to get work done, say "Here, I can do It quiver," or "I'm afraid you'll slll It .other will carry It for you." What If he does spill a little food on a wash able tray? He can lenrn not to with a Uttlo practice. Let him start by car rying one dish not ensy to tip a bowl of cereal, or a plate of vegetables. The first time he carries his entire lunch without spilling a drop, he needs a little praise; ho will try to do It as well evvy time. A child as young as fifteen months can be given his own spoon and fork to fit his small hands, and a chance to practice eating. Feeding himself will be slow, awkward, and apllly at first, and the mother Is constantly tempted to save time and musg by taking the 1 rm . r By NELLIE MAXWELL will be available for cream potatoes.
