MARTHA CRAIG '- Kmc ' Every little girl and some of them not so little is entitled to the experience of making a sam pler, all by herself, just as her great-great-granrimother doubtless did. Along with our renewed appre ciation of the furnishings of our colonial . ancestors, the old-time sampler is again very popular and appears on our walls. Now it is up to us to provide samplers for the interest and amusements of the generations ahead of us. The sampler is worked in cross stitch, one of the simplest and quickest of all embroidery stitches, in mercerized thread of various colors. The material should be cream colored and very durable. For this reason one of the most suitable materials is a used flour bag, which you may have on hand ' or can easily secure for a few cents from your own baker. First rip the bag and remove the (tamping. This is done in any of several ways. If you do not have your own tried and trusted method of doing this, try soaking the inked I places In kerosene overnight and I. r ; Appio Fiurr '' Three' lance turt apples, H4 cups water, grated rind .. lemon, 1 tablespoons granulated gelatine, 2 tablespoons lemon Juice, 1-3 cup maple sirup, 2 egg whites. Feel, core and cut up apples, simmer with a half cup of water until tender. If absolutely neces sary, add just enough water to pre vent burning. Soften gelntlpe In remaining cup of water, then heat until thoroughly dissolved. Add lemon rind, juice nndjnnple sirup with apples, already pressed through a sIeveN-Cool; when be ginning to set, beat until light. Last of all, add stiffly beaten egg whites, folding them thoroughly but gently Into gelatine mixture. Turn Into a mold previously dipped Into cold water, chill and unmold. If desired, egg yolks may he util ized In making a boiled custard to servo as a sauce. Radiant Charm Tho richness of this evening gown comes from the low back, the suggestion of a double train, and the eggshell tatln of which It Is made. I? MARTHA CRA1 ' J - U ' "ill 1 cT) N-l then wash ' with soap and warm water. While the flour bag mate rial is easily dyed and takes a splendid fast color, it is best to use its natural creamy color for making samplers. The. sampler can be any size you want, either 10 inches square or 10 by 12 inches or even 10 by 15 inches. This latter size is particularly suitable when the sam pler is to be used under glass as a tray. Various patt"ns'can be used for the cross stitching. One kind can be bought which is transferred on the material in the proper colors for working. Or one can use canvas and copy any old time sampler. A person with artistic tendencies can. with the aid of checked paper, make up a pattern of her own, working in modern features, such as cars, aeroplanes, short skirts and the like, which would make the sampler a valuable record in time to come. Always include the name, date and age in cross stitch. If not used as a tray, the sampler should be put in a simple wooden frame and hung on the bedroom wall. Special Desserts for Brisk Days Butterscotch Flo Onc-haif cup brown sugar. tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch, 3 eggs, V4 cup wutcr, 14 teaspoon salt, 54 cup granulated sugar, previously baked pastry shell..

Roll bananas In this mixture, lay close together In a' buttered pan and bake about twen ty minutes In a moderate oven 3T.O-375 degrees F. Serve with or without whipped cream. Football styles for this season are numerous: j NE-PLATE luncheons are very convenient when a large number of guests are to be served, though they- may bo used equally well for a bridge luncheon of only four. This form of service can be made very at tractive and for tho smaller num ber one can' add extra garnishes thnt would require too much time for preparation for a large group. The menu may Include a cream ed dish, fluffy mashed potatoes and a vegetable, all served on one nlnte. After mashing seasoning and whipping the pota'toes, make ring of them on the platter. This will be easy to do If you place a greasd mold In the center of the platter and shape the po tatoes around it. When the mold Is removed, the Rpace may be fill ed with the creamd dish, then the vegetable arranged around the outside of the potatoes Cream -e dchlcken garnished with bits of pimento for tho filling with but tered peas around the ring would make a colorful ' dish, as well as a tasty meal. Hot asparagus, but tered, could be substituted for the peas, if desired. For variety, mashed sweet po tatoes might be used for the ring, with -creamed minced ham for the filling, and small baked cin namon apples or apple slices ar ranged around the outside. With this menu a vegetable would not bo necessary, though a salad could be added if one wished. Boinel rice Is anotbr suggestion for the ring. ' With the white potato ring creamed flaked fiRh would make a good filling. A meat stew, well seasoned, would take on an aris tocratic appearance- if arranged on a largo platter in this way. Around the outside or the potato ring, small tomatoes stuffed with celery and topped with mayon naise could be placed for the salad and the vegetables could be Incorporated In the stew.

Address Editor Woman's Pago. . j The Purring Pumpkin By Mury Mt'Kco ' : Curly-haired Hetty Ann had two playmates that Kept her outdoors most of tho time from tho day tho first violet winked her blue eye, until the bright leaves began to rustle down. One was Daffodil Daffy-for-short. Daffy wasnt a flower, though. She had volvct pawB In stead of petals, a coat llko yellow sunshine and a round plumy tall. So you know now that Daffy was Betty's cozy yellow cat. And then there was Betty'a garden. If you can call a garden a playmate. It was a pleasant little spot fenced off by Itself, Just like tho Big Garden's baby. It was a funny garden, too not a regular flower garden with a sundial and neat, straight walks and big. splashy flower beds, .not a vegetable .garden, either, with bright crimson tomatoes and lung rows of sllky-halared corn. It was a mlxod-up garden, with a few of the flowers and a few of the vegetables. Here would be a row or morning-glories looking over a row of lettuce, and some tall, tall hollyhocks watching ov er some fat little radishes and a snowball bush In the corner. Then there would be a hill of potatoes and a clump of catnip for Daf fy. .Now you know why It was a mixed-up garden. Daffy was almost as Interesting and excited as Betty during seed- sowing time. There sho was at Betty's elbow with her eyes round as could be. as Bhe watched Betty making little furrows and holes In the warm earth.- And when Betty covered the seeds up, Daf fy had to give each spot a soft little paw-pat. Of course, It was no time at all until tiny green shoots were show Ing above the ground, and then how Daffy frisked about the cat nip as Betty sent the weeds fly ing with er bright-handled gard en tools! Betty was qroudest of the pump kin that grew near the snowball bush. All the sunlight nnd rains seemed td make it hlggcr nnd ; rounder and yellower as tho I weeks passed. ' Daffy." said Betty, as flio lit I cat frolicked about the pumpkin one day, "he's going to be a Jack-o'-lantern on Hallowe'en. He'll have eyes and nose and e t big grlnny mouth. And there'll I bo a light Inside him. You'll nev-i er know him." ' "P-r-r," responded Daffy, rub-: blng her head against the side of the pumpkin and closing her gol - die-gold eyes. She was thinking about the Jack-o'-lantorn. Then one day Betty tucked her school books under her arm nnd The Privilege of Giving A girl, who had taben a number of children from tho city slums to spend an afternoon in the park, wus felling a friend nbout tho experience. - , "Thoso children must bo very grateful," said tho friend, when she had finished, The girl opened her eyes. "Why, I don't know." sho answer- ed thoughtfully. - "To tell the truth, I had such Joy myself that I never thought of thHt sldo of It." ' This girl, had the rlghtldea. When you hear people com- plaining that the world Is ungrateful, you may be sure that : their service as been rendered on a wrong principle-. If we glvo a certain amount of service for a certain amount of gratl- tude, there Is nothing to differentiate It from any other har- gain. If you find that peoplo are not as apprec4atlvn as you . 4 i thought, -It is clear that you aro laying loo much emphasis on appreciation. This girl had so much happiness In her act of helpfulness that It did not occur to her to wonder about the gratitude sho was going to receive. And It Is very probable that sho received a great deal. Ihcro Is something In human nature which re- 4 volts when one says: "Sec what I have dono for you. Now you ought to bo ashamed of yourself If you are not grateful." But eervlco spontaneously and Joyfully rendered Is not likely to be accepted without gratitude. Do not think so much of the gratltudo people owe you. Think mnro of tho privilege of giving end, If service comes to 4 te an abiding joy, you will have no occasion to complain that 4 the world is ungrateful. The Way. '! i r . patted Daffy good-hy. ' Pretty soon it frosted for tho first time. And then everybody started gath ering bright leaves 'and began talking about bobbing for apples. Two days before Hollowo on, Daffy didn't come to tho kitchen door for her saucr of milk In the morning. Betty called and called that evening but no Daffy. 8o fooling a bit lonely, Bher walked out to tho garden to look at the pumpkin that was soon to become a Jack-o'-lantern. She heard a funny noise little bits of squeals and- deep, soft purrs. It was her big yellow pumpkin that was squeallngl Betty couldn't believe It. Sho bent down and looked ' at tho pumpkin. And "Daddy-.lmd; scooped out th-l- sides of tho pumpkin, and thoro wo Daffy purring to throo little yellow kittens! No wonder It sounded ns If the pumpkin had como-to life! "Wasn't Daffy smart to use tho pumpkin for a baby cradlo?" said Betty. Maybe . that., was what Betty's jock-o'-lnntornvwas grinning nbout on- Hallowe'en. " : - -..., ..!

A CHURCH BIRTHDAY PARTY Th,ls birthday din ner idea seems to me about the best thing the "Ladles' Aid ers" have sent me In many moons. Every church has a dedication an niversary at some time in the year and if it doesn't come in "vacation time", this party can be put over In any month, on any evening. Send out your notices of the Church Birthday Party well in ndvunce and ask guests to state their birth month on the re turn mailing cards this will enable you to plan tho correct number of places at each table. Each tablo will represent one month In the yoar, and guests will find their place cards on .their birthday month table. This re sults in the most delightful up setting of family and social groups, for you will discover that hus bands and wives rarely land at the same table under this arrange ment, and the young people will be peppered In with tho old. This happy mix-up of traditional co teries is good for tho church peo ple now and then and really makes for broadening acquain tances, and absolutely breaks down all formalities at tho be ginning of the party. Of course, each hostess decora tes her table In keeping with tho mont it represents tho church birthday tablo will havo a big birthday cuko as Its centerpiece, and smaller cakes alight with candles might bo used on all tho tables. Homo of tho tables will run longer than others you will find, but tho averago will usually be fairly even, It your church Is In need of some special fund, a birthday dinner Is an Ideal tlmo to make a. presentation or ralso tho money.

They havo' also taken an important place In the florists' lists of cut flowers of late winter. The Darwin was, a soloctod strain of the self-colored tulip type known as Breeders put out by a celebrat ed Holland firm. Their exact or igin Is still clouded In somo doubt but It seems evident that they wore collected from the gardens of some old-time tulip fanciers, They aro noted for tho sizo and heavy substance of their blooms, their tall atoms, and tho softness as wolt ns-tha brilliancy of tholr color range. In tho more brilliant ly colored, a gray bloom : often softens the tone.-' They are cup shaped blooms' with rouhdod-potals as distinguished 'from tho --pointed flowers of tho Cottage 1 class. - Tho Darwin 'Is' tho favorite tulip for thoso who delight In color arrangements In their garden. Ab there- .-are hundceds"of-varlatlee any dcBlrod "color Is available ex cept yellow which is not In tho Darwin range but tulips of sim ilar form give yoliowB in tho Facts and Figures of the Silhouette Facts about the autumn frock and suit mode provo very conclus ively that this Is a season when figures cannot He. The mode is too revealing. Gone are the days of the straight-line, belted-about-the-hlps frock which concealed many of our flguro deficiencies. Snug fitting hips, slightly raisod und occasionally nlpped-in waists, a frank recognition of the bust line, are characteristic of autumn styles. . On the undergarment, then, de volves the duty of doing the best that It can to aid and nbot these new lines and to coax the figure aB far as possible Into lines of sin uous -grncb. It Is almost axiom atic to say that the success of tho outer garment thlB season will do pond on tho care with which tho undergarment is selected and fit ted The autumn displays of founda tion gnrmcnts which I have seon certainly show a shrewd knowledge of accepted garment styles. An elastic body provides tho snug hip line. Tho uplift typo of brassloro gives the easy, graceful, fuller line over the bust which Is a dlroct contradiction to the boyish form of other years. Undoubtedly because of the pop ularity of the princess line in frocks, the one-piece garment takes precedence over tho girdle and brassiere, although tho latter will alwnys bo tho choice of slim, flg urntcss youth. Most of tho gnrmcnts are bone less, clastic, adroitly Inserted, tak ing tho place of "stays." Occas ionally thero Is a' sly bone or two Inserted over tho diaphragm for slimming purposes, and somotlmes nn Inner belt which does wonders. Tho back fastening Is a novel featuro In many garments which isn't nearly as hard to manage as you might Imagine, nnd has tho ndvanlngo of giving a very smooth line over tho hips. Homo of tho Blde-fostonlng gar ments aro step-ins to tho hlp-llne, hooking from there to the top, with the linn curving outside tho bust so as to facilitate fastening. Backs in general aro lower, probably a result of tho sun-tan enthusiasm Inst summer, and evonlng founda tions are cut almost to tho waist. The Ideal foundation wardroho for autumn includes a French ba tiste for tailored things, a lace and crepe dn rhino with clastic Inorta for afternoon, and for evening, a soft, supple, very low In tho back and mnrvolously light satin, and embroidered net. The garments sketched represent tho most Im portant types and the favorite ma terials of the new season. Very much of our practical llfo training, and often the beat part, comes from the mistakes we make. Breeder and Cottago classes.
