Mending Tips For Economy Mending sheetsâ€"Sheets are apt to wear first at the corners where they are pegged up to dry. A quick mending method is to bind wide white tape, which is strong and has readyâ€"finished edges that ish towels wear along the selâ€" vedge edges, fold in single turns wide enough to give an unworn fold and herringbone the worn edges down to the towel. Curtainsâ€"They may tear away or wear where the rings or curâ€" tain tape are attached along the top, while the curtains themselves are still perfectly good. Get *% to % yard of new material matchâ€" ing as nearly as possible. Cut oif the worn top portions and replace them with added double hems of new material. Attach the rings or tape to these, or reverse the eurtains if preferred, so that the new hems are at the bottoms. Invisible Mending â€" If your woolien frock or coat wears into a hole in some conspicuous place â€"say under the arm or where the stiff padding of the builtâ€"up sleeve has rubbed throughâ€"darn it carefully with thread of selfâ€" material. You can pull these out from the inside of the hem. Darn from the right side, cut off the ends closely and the mend is unâ€" detectable. Strengthening Stockingsâ€"Most of us have a pet spot where all our stockings wear firstâ€"at the toe, perhaps, or the side of the foot or the heel. Before wearing new stockings lightly darn this weak spot with fine silk and it will last much longer. Shrink the mending silk first by holding it in the stream of a boiling kettle. Tennis Star‘s Beauty Rules Button Tipâ€"When sewing on buttons, always start on the right side of the material, placing your knot where the button will cover it. The thread is less likely to break or wear through if this is done. Alice Marble, queen of Uncle Sam‘s tennis courts, wants an ice €ream soda. Bo{fore every match she says: "This time I‘ll really have my ico cream soda if I win!" She usually wins. But she never zets the soda! Her coach, Eleanor Tenmant, alâ€" ways says: "Now, Pinky, you know you‘d rather have a rare beefâ€" Miss Marle has found her way to tennis championships, restored her health and continued beauty by lisâ€" tening to her coach. And Pinky (Alice Marble to us) says, "Yes, I would." "I NEVER OVEREAT" "I never overeat," she explains. "I choose a lot of vegetables and drink lemon juice in water â€" not hot water. "I practice the year round, play for exercise and fun, and jump rope daily to keep my figure trim and to improve my breathing." She listens to a teacher who is determined that she shall keep her beauty. Her skin is even better than it used to be. Alice never grips the racket and mever contracts her muscles, but plays an easy game with good rhythm and timing. Such a system often makes the difference, she rays, between imitating men and holding your own as a woman. Woollens Need Airing Often Mothes hate sunlight and fres} air. It‘s a good idea to take woollen garments out of dark closets and bureau drawers every so often, and brush and air them thoroughly. For storage, cedar chests with tight joints and tightâ€"fitting covers are good. Tightly closed garment bags a‘so furnish secure protection. Of course thins must be laundered ow weill cleaned before being put away. For killing moths and larvae stern measures are necessary. There are chemicals any druggist can recomâ€" mend for doing the trick. But the best plan is not to let them get started. Moths live and breed in dark, undisturbed places. Give them A good stiff whisk broom or brush plays a part in the health of many woollen treasures.

Not only because the storm had lifted, as Sally had noticed, but because Dan had taken the precaution to note landmarks, a pair of twin pines standing solitary and alone, the frozen waterfall again, a certain big rock, small things in themselves, but guideposts that led to safety. They did not say much until afâ€" terwards. There was no need for words. Afterwards there would be plenty of time to say all that must be explained and understood beâ€" tween them, Corey knew, too well, that there was no need for him to say anyâ€" thing. When they finally had reachâ€" ed the lodge and warmth and securâ€" ity, he stopped and thrust out a hand toward Dan. He had gained control of himself once more; he was the old Corey, selfâ€"contained, almost â€" arrogant. "Thanks, old man," he said. He wore his wide grin, but his blue eyes were narâ€" rowed. "You saved our lives again. The third time for Sally â€" and the third time is the charm, you know." "That‘s all right," Dan said very briefly. He accepted Corey‘s hand. "Forget it. You‘d have done the same." But they knew, all three of them, that that was not so. "Well, so long," Corey dropped Dan‘s hand. "I want to get thawed out. You two probably have forgotâ€" ten that you‘re nearly frozen. You won‘t miss me." His laugh was short. At his own expense. For Corâ€" ey knew that this was one time he had not won. "Sally, my sweet," he looked at her a brief moment, she was very sweet, she was too good for him, he knew that now; but he.could make her one last gift, leave her with one kind thought for him, "tae best man wins. And that‘s Dan, of course. He was always the best man, Sally. I tried to outsmart him. But it didn‘t work. Don‘t blame Dan for anything. So long, and good luck, to you both." Before they could answer, he‘d turned and left them. "I MEANT TO COME BACK" Sally only looked after the tall blond figure, somehow gallant at this moment of defeat, a second. She turned to Dan, her dark eyes softly shining. "I don‘t know how to thank you," she said. "To think you would risk your own life, Dan, to come after us. To think I ever stopped believâ€" ing in you, even for a little while!" "I don‘t blame you for that," Dan said. "I ran away. But I had my reasons. I meant to come back some day, when I could pay back all that I owed to you and your father, Sally." Then he knew about that! Someâ€" one else had told him. Sally began to understand a little. "Corey told you â€" that last night before you went away!" she said. That was what Corey had meant when he said he had tried to cutâ€" Dan nodded. "He told me a lot of things," he said grimly. "But we won‘t talk about that now. It‘s all past, and done. There are so many thought he had to win, no matter what means he must use. _ > more far more important things we have to talk about now, Sally.

What Corey had said was true; she had forgotten that her clothes were damp and heavy, that her body was aching with cold and weariness. The deep glow in her heart, the happiness spreading all through her, had given ‘er all the warmth she needed, In half an hour to the minute, refreshed and rested, Sally met Dan. He had found a nook in the big living room of the lodge that was deserted. A window seat built just for two, looking out on the beautiful white world that was calm and serene now that the storm had abated. Tells Their True, But Tragic Story. : "Thero‘s so much to say," Sally said, with a sigh, as Dan took her hands and drew her down beside him. "Where shall we begin, Dan?" "At the end," he answered, smilâ€" ingly. "Nothing else matters, does it, except that we have found each other again?" ; "I‘ve found myself," Sally returnâ€" ed; her dark eyes shining. "I just thought I had changed before; I tried to change, for you, Dan. But I hadn‘t tried hard enough. I did not kill the old Sally altogether. 1 should have told you the whole truth. But I was a coward." "Don‘t say that!‘" He put a finâ€" ger against her lips. ‘"Yes, I was," she insisted. Sally who put bravery of heart above everything else. "I was afraid to tell you the truth. In the beginning, Dan, I was afraid if you knew it was I â€" and my father â€" who wanted to help you that you would refuse help. You didn‘t believe in me then, when you were in the hospital, and when you thought â€" because of me â€" you might never walk, or ski, again." "I was afraid to believe in you, then," Dan admitted. "So I was as much at fault as you were." "I WAS A COWARD"® "I should have told you, later," Sally continued, for she must make him believe in her now, "but I still was afraid. I still wasn‘t the Sally I was trying to be. I didn‘t know that the only thing not to fear is the truth. No wonder you didn‘t believe in me, Dan! No wonder you ran away from my world." , "I thought you were laughing at me, I thought you meant to deceive me," Dan explained; "to carry on through with that first dare, That was what Corey told me that night. And that you were engaged o him." "Poor Corey," Sally said. It was easy to forgive him now, to understand. Though he had broken his word to her, nearly ruined all their lives. "I told you that the past is gone," Dan said. "The future is all that matters. I had an offer.today, Salâ€" ly. Beside the Olympics. That‘s not what I want, after all. I‘m going to stay here, at a good salary, instructâ€" ing, putting on exhibitions. t can begin to repay your father part of what I owe him, I can take care of you, Sally. If you‘ll leave your own world, and stay in mine." "KING OF SKIS" He did not wait for hor answer. He drew her to him, gently, yet foreefully. He found her lips. That first sweet kiss pledged their faith in one another more binding, more truly than any words. ‘"There‘s only one thing, Dan," Sally‘s dark eyes looked up into his, thes ooft color flooding her lovely face, "are you sure that you believe in me now, that I‘m the kind of girl you want?" For answer, Dan kissed her agâ€" ain, "You are the only girl I want," he said. "Queen of my heart." "And you‘re the king," Sally said. "King of skis.

Be Wellâ€"Groom« On Time, Sense It‘s quite possibleâ€"in fact a fairly simple matter â€" to be well groomed, smartly â€" dressed and nicely made up all of the time at a modéerate cost in time as well as money. Anyone will agree that it‘s not too difficult to be interestingly, neatlyâ€"even smartly â€" dressed on a limited budget. It‘s a quesâ€" tion of knowing which types of clothes are most becoming, then refcsing to be â€"switched to types about which you have some doubt. Ar:d of planning your wardrobhe well in advance of the date you intend to start shopping for it. PLAN IN ADVANCE The pearlâ€"smooth, cleanâ€"skinâ€" ned look is largely a matter of proper cleansing and sparing use of makeâ€"up. Makeup, that is, which suits your own coloring. New Fall Shoes Are Trim, Genteel If, instead of applying fresh powder *over a layer of »stale powder, and rubbing at your mouth with a rouge puff every time you happen to think of it, you will remove the old makeup and apply a new coat three times a day, you will have come a long way toward achieving the freshâ€" faced look. SsOAP, WATER, CREAM If, in spite of meticulous cleansâ€" ing, your skin always seems a trifle muddy, follow the system screen and stage stars use for removing makeup. Most of them cleanse first with cream,. then with soap and water, and then again with cream. Thus they manage to get their faces clean without running the risk of dryâ€" ness. Shoes for fall have salesmen, who turn up their noses scornfully at the more extreme styles, enthusâ€" fastic. Very high, thick, wedgo heels and wideâ€"open toes are going to be harder to find this fall. And while there are many shoes with smallâ€"toe openings for early fall wear, thero are lots more with the covered toes and heels that look attractively genteel after semiâ€"nakâ€" ed summer feet. Most of theso shoes have box toes to give plenty of room to toes used to open shoes. MANY HAVE BOX TOES Black suede shoes with carved wooden heels, the wood in pale tan or the ruddy color of redwood, are new. There are pumps in various designs, many of them with wooden buckles to match the heels. Black suedo bags, gathered softly with wide wooden frames, go with these shoes. Both open and covered toes can be found among them. Square buckles of simulated torâ€" toiseâ€"shell effectively trim other pumps, which come in a surprisingâ€" ly warm shade near aquamarine, and in a dramatic purplish wine. A particularly lovely pump of black suede is trimmed with a graceful swirl of grosgrain, and there is a grosgrain trimmed suede bag to go with them.

ONTARIO ARC ‘TORONTO Someone wrote me a short time ago, that food columniscs had been neglecting the subject of "Dried Apples." In the past we have said a good deal about apples and have given you two or three recipes using the evaporâ€" ated apple.

Some tell me they have been disappointed at first in Apple juice. Try chilling it. It is then a most refreshing and delicious drink. Have you tried the apple juice when baking your ham? It also makes a splendid liquid for jellies and this jelly to serve with cold meat is incomparable. . One of the fond recollections of my childhood is helping my grandâ€" mother dry apples. She used to string them in long strings and it was such fun; then later to help devour them was more enâ€" joyable. Children like them to eat raw and they are very healthâ€" ful. Apples contain just about as many vitamins as the orange, as also does the tomato,â€"so let us help the Canadian farmer! There are several methods for drying apples. You can do it by evaporation or dehydration but for the simple everyday method, the sunshine is very reliable. The yellow transparents are an ideai apple for this purpose but any firm juicy apple will be a sucâ€" cess. Peel apples, core and cut in thin slices; place on wire screens or racks (they must have a good ventilation to be a sucâ€" cess). Place where they will have bright outdoor sunshine. Take them in at night. If the sunshine is continuous, two days will be long enough, but if not a steady heat leave them an extra day. Of course they should soak in water before using; then cook as any dried fruit. Try % cup of these in a fruit cake sometime and you will be surprised at the moistness it gives. Besides you need less of the more expensive fruits.

The newest modern furniture shows a tendency among designâ€" ers of modern to drift away from the cold, square lines toward grazâ€" ious, pleasing curvesâ€"even carvâ€" ings. The rather unlovely "packâ€" ing case" lines of "Early Modâ€" ern," so prevalent a few years ago, are seldom seen. New wood finishes also are headlined. And decorators and inâ€" terior designers continue to adâ€" vocate the combination of modern and traditional furniture in the same room. MODERN FINISHES In walnutâ€"always a widely used wood in modernâ€"the newest of the bleached finishes is offâ€" white. Alone or combined with natural walnut cr other woods, this new blond tone is lovely against the increasingly popular pastel fabrics and wall paints or papers. When Kitchens Need Attention Repair all tap leaks promptly, if you would maintain a stainless finâ€" ish on bathtubs and sinks. Even such an impermeable substance as porcelain enamel (fused directly on steel) is not immune to the defas ing yellow stain caused by dripâ€" ping water which contains a minerâ€" al deposit. If soap and water do not remove a stain already made, make a paste of powdered chalk and waâ€" ter, and apply generously. RUBBER MAT HANDY To keep your porcelain enamel sink immaculately clean and free of scratches, use a rubber mat on the bottom of your sink when you use it for washing dishes. Such scratches may be caused by heavy iron fryingâ€"pans, but more frequentâ€" ly they come from the "feet" of chinaware itself{. The ingredients of china are similar to those of porcelain enamel, and just as diaâ€" mond cuts diamond, so china may scratch enamel. It is easy to avoid these scratches. Black walnut also is used for the new, more gracefullyâ€"designed modern pieces. And between the offâ€"white and the black, there is suntan, a smart inâ€"between shade which is a riper version of the old harvest tones. VANITY TABLES Modern vanity tables are much simpler than they were a few years ago. The new types are doâ€" signed from a functional point of view, and they don‘t make a woâ€" man feel like a movie star in disâ€" guise when she sits before one of them. If you would keep the oven door of your range as clean and sparkâ€" ling as the day you bought it, neâ€" ver use a damp cloth on it while it is hot.

A very sterling Agnes was "the Roman virgin and martyr, who at 12 or 13 years of age was beâ€" headed during the reign of Diocleâ€" tian." Her festival is celebrated on January 21 by the Greek, Roman and Anglican churches. St. Agnes Eve, immortalized by Keats, celebrated on January 20, was considered especially a holiday for women, when a girl by divinaâ€" tion was supposed to see the form of her future husband. The vindictive Agnes was Agnes of Austria, wife of Androw III of Hungary, who devoted herself to avenging the murder of her father, Albert I of Germany. Agnes of Poiâ€" tu, second consort of the Emporor Henry IHI, led a life of hectic politâ€" ical intrigue in her struggles with the nobility, who, after her husâ€" band‘s death, succeeded in deprivâ€" ing her of the guardianship of her son, Henry IV. . THE MOST GLAMOROUS The most glamorous Agnes, and one of the most glamorous beauties of all history, was Agnes Sorel, the favorite mistress of Charles VIl of France, that rather weak prince whose throne was secured to him by Joan of Arc. Charles first saw Agnes when she was about 20 years old and remained faithful to her until her death, Her influence over him was supposed to have been their lot together.
