Sonsebody---1 just forget who— once said that "a good cook is one who knows her onions"; and there is actually a whole lot of truth in that saying.

Qtamor i'ti eep Te "n A F neither coaxing nor threatening have succeeded in turning r fi your daughter's disarranged, catch-all closet Into neat, well - Ordered storage space, here's a tip that may turn the trick. With a few yards of cotton fabric and a few hours at your sewing machine, you can make enough glatnorous closet acgessories to turn , the most harum-scarum teen-ager' }Rite ebe soul of tidiness. if this ,is your first home -decorating assigx'nieht, your local sewing center will.give you sewing tips, ;. There are two major reasons for unkempt closets: unattractive- ness and lack of organization. If your daughter's present closet is drab and dark, it's no wonder she feels no compunction to keep It prettied up. Remedy this by painting the inside of the closet a cheerful color that will harmonize with the walls of the room and with the accessory fabric you have chosen. Install an electric light in the closet, too, to eliminate groping in the dark. Then set about malting closet accessories that will encourage Your daughter to have "a place for everything, and everything in Place," For these accessories, which should include shoulder covers, garment bags, shoe bags and hat boxes, use a washable cotton fabric in gay print or plaid, It's a good idea to make certain the material is Sanforized, to^avoid the bugaboo of shrinkage. 'Shoulder covers should be shaped to' fit the clothes hangers. Lehgth should be from six to 10 inches; width depends upon the bulk of the garment to be covered. Garment bags for best dresses are handy and attractive storage compartments. They are made in the same way as shoulder covers, ibttt are full length of dress or coat. When; seaming front and back pieces together, leave one side open for snaps or a slide fastener, For those cherished gold or silver slippers, make individual shoe bags. Cut the fabric large enough to allow for a drawstring top; ,the bag can then hang neatly from its strings on a clothes hoolc at ithe back of the closet. Dark tissue paper, wrapped around the shoes before they are put in the bag, will help protect them from !tarnish. - To keep the closet floor uncluttered, make a shoe bag for the inside of the door. This should include a back section 18 inches wide, and enough fabric strips, reinforced with cardboard or buck - Sam, sewed on at intervals, to form pouches for four to six pairs of shoes. •- A covered bat box is next on the list. Make a paper pattern by tracb>g the box. Add a half-inch all around for seam allowance. ers Tidy To encourage her daughter's neatness, this mother stitches up accessories for a glamor closet. Gay plaid pieces, trimmed with! eyelet ruffle, include a hat box, shoe, bag, shoulder covers and; s15pper baits• The cover -will fit best when cut on the bias. After the sections are stitched together and the seams pressed open, wet the surface' of the box with glue and smooth the fabric on. To complete the job talk a row 01 eyelet rufle•to shelf edges, and add a few small sachets filled with your daughter's favorite scent. ffi Annette Passes Out By Richard Hill Wilkinson In September Bill decided he wasn't 'n love. He told himself it had -been a summer romance. He regretted it. He couldn't walk out and leave Annette flat. He had to offer some sort of explanation. The wind whipped in their faces as the roadster sped through the niglst. Annette snuggled contentedly at his shoulder. He swung the roadster off the highway. They bumped along a wagon road, presently emerging into a clearing. Bill stopped. To- ward the north the horizon was illuminated by a dull glow. Lights frons- the town. Bill turned. Annette said: "Oh, Bill, I'm so glad we came out here. It was here 'you firstttold -nie you loved me. Remember?" "Sure. I remember." "Say it now: Bill. Say you love rte!" Bill had intended • to say just the opposite. Without knowing why, he pitied her. He spoke, but what he said was: "Of course I love you. You knoll• that," It was as if she impelled him to say it, "Kiss sue, 13111. Kiss use and say it again," He. kissed her, repeating the words,. cursing himself for doiug so, Why did she have to clingto' hies so? He got a grip on himself. He formed the words in his mind; "Bill, I've got a surprise for you." "Surprise?" "I'm going back to Belfast with you. I've got a job there for the winter. We'll be together all win- ter, Bill. Isn't it grandl" Lord! Now he was in for it. He hadn't expected that. Well, he'd have to be blunt, cruel. He'd have to tell her once and for all, "Bill!" There was terror in her tone. He turned quickly. She was looking away from ]Sim toward the horizon where the dull glow had been. The dull glow he had thought to be, town, lights had developed into attossishiug brilllatice. "Eitel The whole ridge is ablaze. Say, we'd better get going!" Ile jammed his foot down on,the 'starter, The motor whirred, and that was all, Bill swore, yanking out the choke. There was a spot- tering whniie, a cough, silence. Bill opened the roadster's door. "Corse onl 1',ntgiee's dead, We'll have to run fns'' it" Ile yanked her out of the car, started running along the wagon road, shagging her behind him, He hadn't realized that fire could be Glee this, The speed of its approach amazed hint, "Bill! Wait! You're going too fast!" Bill turned just as she felt for- ward, He knelt beside her, "Try and gat up, We've got to keep go. lug. It's our only chance.' • Pitifully she tried, sank to the ground, moaning softly. He stopped end lifted her in his arms, "Bill, don't! You can't! Go on and leave rte. There's uo use in both of us—" He went on blindly, Behind him now he could hear the crackle of flames. The road ahead was alight from the brilliance of the fire. It required no efforttomove. Then suddenly, ahead, ire saw the main- highway. There were lights there, The lights from auto- mobiles and trucks, 13111 lay sprawled in the back seat of a jogging touring car. He opened his eyes and saw Annette. Behind her the sky was dull red. "Bill, why did you do it? Why didn't you leave ine there when— when you knew—" He said: "Say, what do you take me for? Leave behind the girl I love l" "Oh, Bill, I've known for a month you didn't. I wouldn't let myself believe I was losing you. I wouldn't give you the chance to tell the truth." Bill swallowed, So that was it? So that was the reason she had— Suddenly he lifted her in his arms "Annette," he whispered, "say you love me, Say it, and kiss me, darling." THE END Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Should a young man, whose means are limited, take his fiancee along with him to pick out her en- gagement ring? Wouldn't it be em- barrassing if she were to pick a ring beyond his means? A. This is becoming the accepted custom these days, and the than can avoid any embarrassment by first gong alone to the jeweller, who can help him pick out a number of rings within his means. He then takes his girl to .the store and she makes her selection front these rings. Q..If a man and a woman are walking together during a rain, and both have umbrellas, should each one use his own umbrella? A. This would prove very awk- ward, 1t would be much better if both were to walk under the man's larger umbrella, Q. If. a woman is eating in a restaurant, would it be all right for her to place her purse and gloves on the corner of the table? A. No; she should place them in her lap, Q. When a waiter in a hotel dining room brings a dish for me to look at, what am I supposed to say or do? A. By this act, the waiter is merely askng your approval of the dish.

Of course, this last is done only for serious cause. Q.'When the double -ring service is to be used at a wedding, who, should buy the two rings? A. The bridegroom, of course, buys the ring for his bride, and the UNDAY SCUOOL LESSON By Rev, R. BARCLAY WARREN B.A., B.D. Using the Bible: Ps. 19:7-11; Acts 8:26-35 Golden Text: Thy word have I • hid in mine heart that I might not -sin against Thee, —Ps. 119:11. While visiting s> a hospital the other day, my young friend happily' showed . me a Bible which the Gideon had placed in his room. The Gideons are performing a very effective service in placing the Bible in hospitals, hotels, prisons, etc. A great number have come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through reading a Gideon Bible. The Bible is still tate world's best seller. It is the message mart steeds today. The youth who are reading it today are not resorting to the gangster methods depicted in some comic strips nor the inunoral prac- tices pictured in the so-called "sex" megazines. The Bible brings en- lightenment, comfort, wisdom and knowledge, A university professor in philo- sophy said to his student: "You seem to regard the Bible as dif- ferent from tate other books. Why?" The student replied: ".The sixty-six books which comprise the Bible were written 1>y kings, prophets, priests, as well as a doctor, a man who had been a tax -collector, an- other a dreaded persecutor and some who had been fishermen. They wrote over a period of some 1,600 years. Yet a beautiful har- mony pervades the whole. The golden thread. of God's redemption through His Son Jesus Christ binds tltcnt all together from Genesis to Revelations. These men wrote as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost, This is God's revelation to us. In contrast, you philosophers of the centuries seem to have only this agreement. namely, to dis- agree," In our lesson Philip preaches Jesus to the Ethiopian from Isaiah which was written some seven hundred years before Jesus Christ came in the flesh. The sermon was effective too. It still is. There is no substitute for the simple mes- sage of Jesus dying on the cross for us and rising again that we Wright have eternal life, "Tell me the old, old story" is the sentiment of the world's aching heart today. bride should buy the one for the bridegroom, Q. What should a girl say when being introduced to a young man? A. "Ilow do you do?" is suffi- cient. Q. To whom should a bride give preference as maid -of -honor at her wedding? T. To her sister; otherwise, her most intimate friend. New And Useful s Too .. Repeater Pill An anti -histamine tablet with a double punch has been developed to combat hay fever and other allergies.

Smugglers;' Tunnel Under Main Street With only a yard to go, smug• glers were caught recently complet- ing a tunnel ;which they had dug beneath the main street of Kerk- rade, a Dutch mining town on the Dutch -German frontier. By making the tunnel from Holland to Ger- :natty, they hoped to smuggle large quantities of goods. First inkling that there was a tunnel there at all carte when Dutch Customs officials heard the clink of spades, Locating the en- trance they crept cautiously through the tunnel for about eighty yards. They found that it ended at the bottom of a disused well in the garden of a German house. Height of the tunnel was about 3ft, and its width 311, Sin. It was lit by electric Light which had been clan- destinely linked to Si electricity station on the German side. It is believed that the smugglers' plan was to install a kind of cable system throughout the tunnel for use in hailing contraband from one country to the other. BERNARD vs. WINSTON Messrs.
