| 2d 3 | PUNE Oar Ue PAGE SIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1929 The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to the Homemaker and the Housekeeper While speaking of the proper frame in which to put a picture an authority said that the primary pur- pose of the frame is to set off an give finish to the picture. It should add to its effectiveness and help to bring out its beauties of color and composition. At the same time it must not be obtrusive, nor by its insistent ornament, size or coloring, force itself upon the attention. Good frames are simple in design, not too large for their pictures, and often have slight hand carvings at the corners and sides. Frames in soft tones of gold harmonize in color with many pletures and are a pleas- ing part of almost any decorative plan, A dull silver frame is not too noticeable and will also combine with any color scheme, For some pictures the shiny silver frame is more accept- able, : : Oil paintings and their reproduc- tions should be framed according to their size in moderately wide, heavy frames without mats or glass. Water colors, etchings, wood blocks, mexo- tints, aquatints and engravings, are usually framed with a mat and glass, bound with a moulding that is nar- row or of moderate width, excellent in design and line. Pictures done in strong colors sharply contrasted or showing large single objects or violently active scenes, and those done in dark colors need frames of greater weight than do those slighter in size, color and interest, Water colors may have polychrome frames that blend with some of the tones of the picture, or the frame may be in soft gold or in natural shade wood. Painted frames may be used in a room where there is painted furniture, Etchings, engravings and other prints which show the plate-mark, should be framed to show the entire d | margin as indicated by the artist in the choice of the size of paper on which the print is made, On no ac- count, even if part of the margin is cut off, should it be put inside the plate-mark. The frame should be nar- row wood, either in dark or natural shade finish, With the coming of the sam lers again into vogue the question of the proper frames for these must also be considered. Samplers should = be framed in frames of narrow wood. In the case of the sampler which is done in a number of bright colors on a na- tural linen a polychrome frame, which harmonizes with the shades in the sampler, is artistic. For the plain white material, with the design in all black, a narrow ebony frame, sets off the sampler and at the same time does not draw attention from the verse or work. : For photographs the dull silver frame or the gold is always suitable. A mahogany or walnut frame very often suits the background of the photo better than the silver or gold. For an amateur picture a plain frame, which is not ornate, is the style to be used for then it is the features or the scene which one notices and not the amatecurness of the taking. It is a shame to spoil the entire ap- pearance of a masterpiece with the wrong frame and there are too many times when this very thing happens. If it is impossible for you to decide the frame which you think should be used on a picture take it to someone who specializes in picture framing and he will decide the proper frame. Don't take a chance on spoiling the entire effect. Helpful Hints for Harassed Housewives A dessert which is not only tasty but is also pretty is made by peel- fng six tangerine oranges, 1emnov- ing the white pith without break- ing the orange's inner skin. Put them on an oiled tin a ttle dis- tance apart. Whip the whites of three eggs to a very stiff froth, stir in lightly half a pound of caster sugar; put this meringue into a confectioners' bag and force it out over each orange, covering it en- tirely. Dredge with sugar. Put in slow oven until the meringue is set and slightly browned. Serve on a compote or glass dish and gar- nish with chopped red jelly.

BUT NOT FOR HIM Happy Couple Wed as Best Man Goes to Jail Chicago, March 18--A gay wed- ding party was William Makiecki's --gay for William and his bride Irene but rather dull for Stanley Joriak the best man, Joriak is still in jail in Lake For- est because the bridegroom was able to raise only enough money to pay his own fine. Later he intends to come back and buy the best man's freedom. The party started out from Chi- cago in an automobile with a bottle in the rear seat as an antidote against bad luck on a wedding day. They hoped to drive to Crown Point, Ind,, where most elopers go, but first thing they knew the antidote bottle was half empty and they were in Waukegan on the opposite side of Chicago. Learning their error, the bridal party started to retrace their route at 55 miles an hour and they were halted by a traffic policeman who took them all to jail. Makiecki explained that he and Irene were hurrying to the altar and the kind hearted judge sent for a marriage license and married them on the spot. The bridegroom: wired a friend in Chicago for enough money to pay his own fine, $30, but no mo- ney came for the poor best man, who must remain in jail until he can pay his fine of $20.
