The whites are If you are a wise housewife yon by now. You will at least, have cleaned out all the cupboards and bureau drawers for that is always pre- liminary to really scientific work. And, if you are methodical, you take one room at a time and not have the whole house upset et once. Take down all the pictures, brush the books with a stiff brush, wash the glass and go over the frames with a soft cloth. ; « Stack them out of the way, and brush walls and ceiling with a soft cloth tied over a long broom, then clean and polish the furniture, then wash woodwork, clean and polish floor before restoring rugs, Variety Ic Spice Some women "think they must change the furniture every week be- cause they "can't abide" monotony rooms, Others place a thing once and never change it. Perhaps the best plan is to move your things around spring and fall, and thus get some of the varicty that ig said to be the spice of life, without having the family trip over the chairs in their new places. : It is a good idea to get rid of the "white elephants" either by selling them or by giving them to some of the numerous rummage sales. Too much furniture spoils the look of a modern room and frequently you can put a desk or.an extra chair, in a bedroom, or change things around so Too Many Pictures One of the commonest mistakes people make is to have too many cushions, too many pictures and too many ornaments aroand. "Raus mit 'om." If you haven't an attic (or if you have) get rid of them by sale, barter or gift. Less work, and a better appearance to your rooms. Weather Moves. Sometimes youican move chairs or 'couches to a window. overlooking v'garden or some other pleasant view wnd where you can take advantage of summer breezes, In the bedrooms, '00, the bed may be moved to give rou more space and air and dressing ablés shifted to a better light. It you are blessed with plenty of supboard space, you might even give vl your ornaments and pictures a :est for the summer, bringing out two or three at a time and changing them as you tire of them. Make your housecleaning a mental tonic as well as a "clean-up" for the house 'and it won't be quite so hard to do. ; iy THE GOLDEN BRIDE The newest bridal fabric is a lame, woven with gold or silver and backed with white satin. Gold is the leading vogue for this season, and a golden bride can be very unusuakh One important. London, England, dress artist makes good use of this lovely fabric for a golden bride. The moulded gown is simply fashioned, but suggests medieval splendour. Over the golden train comes a mass of shadowy tulle which rests on a chaplet of golden leaves. A charming bridesmaid's gift would be one of the newest crystal rings with golden clip. There fs a craze at the 'moment for crystal and gold. 'CHOCOLATE CAKE The traditional "devil's food" cake usually is made with a cooked gort of custard which is added to the dry ingredients. .This produces a black cake of spongy texture that is inclined to dry out quicker than the cakes mixed by other methods. Chocolate' cakes made with yolks of eggs remain moist despite a cooked mixture being added to the patter.

Warning rf To U.S. Golfers The Supreme Court of the United States recently decided that where the assured, while playing golf, suffered a sunstroke, from which he died, re- covery could not be had on an acci- dent policy providing for payment if death should result from "bodily in- juries effected directly and independ- ently of all other causes through ex- ternal, violent and accidental means'. The court pointed out that the ex- ternal means were stated to be the rays of the sun to which the insured voluntarily exposed himself and that the pleadings did not suggest that there was anything in the sun's rays, the weather or other circumstances external to the insured's own body and operating to produce the unantic- pated injury, which was urknown or unforseen by the insured.--Weekly Underwriter. ; King Decorates Prince LONDON---Prince George and his comptroller, Major.

(20).--May 20. The Future of the Kingdom.--Matthew 24:1-25; 30. Golden Text.--The the kingdom of our Lord, and of Kingdom of the world is become ever and ever.--Rev, 11:15, "Then shall the kingdom of heav- en be likened unto ten virgins." The expression is very condensed, and that means that the search of man- kind for the kingdom of heaven is like, in two contradictory aspects, the action of five of these virgins on the one hand and five of them on the other hand. "Who took 'their lamps." Either like the familiar Roman lamps car- ried in the hand or attached to staves '| or else torches which were sometimes fed with oil. "And went forth meet the bridegroom." Christ is bridegroom and bride;-- z "And five of them were foolish, and five were wise." We are not to conciude from this that on the judge- ment day half of mankind will be ac- cepted and half rejected. "For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them." Olive oil was used, drawn--up by a floating wick, which projected through a little notch or spout in the side of the bowl of the lamp. "But the wise took oil in their ves- sels with their lamps." They carried to the "the church is his wo vessels full of oil from which they could replenish the supply of their lamps as they burned low. "Now while thd bridegroom tar- ried." Christ -is looking forward to the long period--two thousand years now--that would elapse before his return to earth. "They all slumbered rnd slept." That does not mean that when the Bridegroom comes he will find none .awake. Many a man has died while engaged, Bible in hand, in 'meditation, upon his favorite theme, the coming of the Bridegroom. ""But at midnight there is a cry, be- hold, the bridegroom!" The longer the virgins slept, the nearer was the approach of the bridegroom. . The longer we wait unprepared for the coming of Christ, the nearer is his sure approach. ~ "Come ye forth to meet him." Translate this into other words, and it runs thus: Recognize and act up- on, the law of preparation of human character.' \ "Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps." The wicks had "become charred while they slept, and must be cut to burn brightly. "Ané the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps are. going out." The foolish virgins are the half-and-half people, people who in any case of difficulty rever think of turning to the light within to guide them through the darkness, but they at once turn _to some one who they think is living a his Christ; and he shall reign for} Christian life, as if a borrowed light would do. "But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be en- ough for us and you. This is a harsh .and selfish refusal but arises out of the very necessity of the case. "Go ye rather to them that sell, ard buy for yourselves" We cannot impart our Christian life to another tc the Father, the Son, and the Ho- ly Spirit. "And while they went away to buy the bridegroom came." Just at the critical moment, when all was eager hurry to do the fitting honor to the advancing bridegroom, "And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast." If this is a lesson of terrible warn- ing it is also a lesson of comfort and cheer. If we are ready we shall go in with our Lord to his eternal feast of joy. | "And the door was shut.' These are the most solemn words of this solemn parable. "A new thing it is for that door to be shut. So long has it stood open, thrown wide back, that we for- get there is a door that can shut that entrance, . "Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open un- to us." They wanted to get in. "But he answered and said, Verily 1 say unto you, I know you not." One of Christ's most terribly emphatic statements, "Watch theref re, for ye know not the day nor the hour." The close of your earthly opportunity may come today--the very next minute. Now is the accepted time. Australia and Canada" VICTORIA--Trade relations he: tween the Governments of Canada and Australia are intimate and cordial, L. R. MacGregor, Australian trade com- missioner to Canada, declared on his arrival here recently. ~ "While I was in Australia, I dis- cussed the question of bringing about even closer trade relations than have already beédn established by widening the scope of the present trade agreement," he added. Mr. MacGregor spent two months in Australia. Old Age Pensioners Show Big Increase NEW YORK---The number of old- age pensioners in the United States has increased from 4000 to 135,000 persons, Mr. Abraham Ipstein report. ed recently at the opening of a two- day national conference on social se- curity. Mr. Epstein, executive secre- tary of the American Association for Social Security, characterized 1933 as "(he year of greatest achievement in providing security for the dependent aged." "There Is no economy In. either cheap labor or cheap material."

This caused changes in an electric current, which were conduct- ed by cable to the hypnograph in an adjoining room. The hypnograph consisted of a bat- tery of 28 fountainpens (one for each bed), which wrote on a moving roll of paper in different coloured inks, according to whether the sub- ject was a boy or girl. The tests reveal that the move- ments of a healthy child conform to a definite pattern. The most active part of the night is during the first half-hour. The most tranquil is in the second-half-hour to 45 minutes, and a restive phase recurs during the -hour-before-waking: Girls, it was found, sleep more soundly than boys. They not only drop off more quickly, but sleep more quietly © Among 24 children studied, the most restless sleeper showed an aver- age of 110 active minutes during '15 nights. : COLD WEATHER BEST The slightest movement of the child ! travel up and down a perpendicular strip of metal attached to the bed! A drink of warm milk at bedtime was shown to produce definitely | quieter sleep. A large meal, however, even though the food was plain, re- | sulted in marked restlessness, © Baths, whether cold or warm, it was found, had no constant effect on sleep, while children sleep more peacefully in the cold - than warm weather. Dress of Women Will be Simpler Col. H. C. Osborne Forsees - Change in Politeness "as Well [IE Otlawa.--A day when women quite conceivably exercise a will leading i Colonel IH. C, Osborne, C.M.G., speak- ing at a luncheon meeting of the University Club on the subject, "Wo. then--Yesterday and Today." Venturing into the realm of the future, the speaker predicted that! women's dress would become more sober and more simple during busi- ness hours. There will he changes, too, he said, in certain forms of, politeness now existing between the sexes. . "The myth of weakness as far as! women are concerned is all non- sense," he said. "It never was true. In the chronicles of early Egypt we come across a type 'of civilization | where men attended to the lighter tasks and the household, and women did the hsavy work--even to 'the waging of war. "It used to be thought that a woman was incapable of picking up a handkerchief or opening a door. last century they were 80 bundled and becorseted that perhaps they couldn't. But if you go out on our golf courses and tennis courts or along the ski trails you see that they can pick up all the handkerchiefs too." B Women, continued Col, Oshorne, are sill in danger of standing in their own light by permitting the spread of ideas that certain subjects fall in the realm of women and oth- ers in that of men. He urged that this fdea was fallacious, that the en- tire field of knowledge Is open and knowledge i8 power. ---- "grr "MUTT AND IEFF-- ---- Pe --. mein hem a am o -- By BUD FISHER | fare You PReressoR = CE mutT, He BEAUTY -- A.

It is not difficult, it does not take long, and it is heartily worth it. : 'Cleanse the skin in the ordinary thorough manner. Next massage in some mineral oil (liquid paraffin) using the following massage move- ments: working from (I) the mouth to the ears; (2) from the base of the nostrils to the ears; (8) from the temples up to the hairline; along the forehead from the top of thé nose; (4) under the chin to the ear lobes, using the balls of the thumbs. MASSAGE--AND REST Let the massage be gentle yet firm, and work the oil in well. When it is practically all absorbed, follow with a quick massage (using the same movements) with your favorite nour- ishing cream, and allow that to rea- main on, for about ten minutes, dur- ing which time you should complete- ly relax. Remove all the oil and cream with a clean cotton wool pad. Then have some cotton wool pads ready, soak them with a tonic lotion, and pat it into your skin for bout five min- utes. A good tonic lotion is made by most beauty experts, but you can make this one yourself, and it is very good; mix two tablespoons of hydro- gen peroxide with half a pint of rose- water, and keep it in a well-corked bottle. . After you have "swished" your skin very thoroughly with the tonic leave it to dry itself, then you are ready either for your make-up or your night's rest. One of the biggest secrets of a clear, smooth skin is this; make sure that every trace of powder, rouge, or any makeup is removed at night. Diversity Is Very Essence of Unity President British Women's In- stitute Tells What Her Or- ganization Stands For People talk 'of the equality of man- kind, yet nothing is so absurd, declar- 'I'ed Mrs. J.

Half Price of Codix of $250,000, half the purchase price of the famed fourth-century Biblical manuscript known as the Codex Sin- aiticus, has been completed, it was announced by the Achbishop of Can. terbury. ' The Government promised that if the public raised $250,000 it wonld contribute the other half of the pave ment to the Soviet Government, from which the treasured manuscript was received last Christmas. "The Arch- bishop, however, announced that the fund would remain open because of a strong decire in many quarters that as much as possible of the purchase price should be comprised of volun tary offerings.
