Q. How can I remove burnt stains from aluminum? A. These stains on aluminum or other unsoldered utensil of brass, tin, or iron, can be removed by placing it while empty over the gas flame or fire until red hot. Q. How can I keep vegetables from losing their appetizing color when they are cooked, A. By not cooking them too long.

By washing in the usual way and then soaking over night in one half gallon of clear water, to which is added two teaspoonfuls cream of tartar. Q. How can I go over scratches on wall paper so that they will not show? • A. By moistening a scrap of the paper which has been saved, and then carefully scraping off the co- loring with a sharp knife. Apply this coloring to the scratch, and when dry it will scarcely be no- ticeable. Fish, Flesh, Fowl Or Three In One? One of the most curious animals in Australia is the platypus, which seems to be a mixture of several animals. It can live either on land or water. It has the fur of a seal, the bill of a duck, and is web- footed. It has short legs with five webbed toes on each foot, and the male has a horny spur on his heels. Unlike the duck, it has nostrils at the extreme end of its bill. Al- though clumsy on land, it is a fine swimmer, and snails and shell fish compose its food. It lays eggs like a turtle, but carries its young in a pouch and suckles them.

She didn't tell Maxine of Stai,ley's hope to ''ave it by late afternoon. That did not seem very promising now, Why hadn't he waited until later to go in town for his bags, and stayed here and looked for the ring? That ring is a hoodoo, she thought. First 1 bend it, then—"Maxine, I'm going into town. Never mind - tr hy. I'll be back soon," She ran to the kit- chen to tell 'William to get her the pony cart, and in a few min- utes was driving rapidly' down the road toward town with her hopes running very high. But she returned home and hour and a half later more in the depths than ever. The ring that she had suddenly remembered Mr. Carver was making like Harry's, had al- ready been sold when she reached Marshville. "I wanted to see the ring you were making," she had told the old man. "Well now, Miss Peggy, that's mighty sweet of you to be that in- terested, and I wish you could have seen it. But it's sold already. I worked right straight through on that ring from the time I started on it yesterday. Jim said I was crazy. He wanted me to take my time at it. But once 1 get started to work on a thing like that, I've just got to keep going and get it finished. And it certainly was a beauty. As much like that ring of your friend's as two peas in a pod. I just had it finished and was standing here admiring it, when in comes a young man and buys it right off. Some girl surely is going to be happy to have that ring." * * * She had been .so sure she had found a way out that to discover she was too late was about the last straw. Why on earth hadn't she thought of it sooner? "Where is everyone.?" she asked Maxine on her returrn. "Nancy is still upstairs. Gran. came down about the time Stanley returned and he asked her if he might talk to here. They •have been shut up in the parlor ever since," "For heaven's sake, why?" Peg- gy demanded. "He doesn't think Gran knows anything about it, does he? She certainly seems to like him; Maxine. I was awfully sur- prised, weren't ybu? Gran' and a detective!" There was a :udder sound in the uppper hall. A door wa being flung open and light footsteps were rush- ing down the stairs. "Nancy," murmured Peggy. "Pidge must have conte," whis- pered Maxine. But Pidge had not come. It was only Nancy rushing out to them on the terrace With a motion picture magazine held open in her hand. * * * "I suppose that was meant to be funny!" she snapped at Maxine as she passed her and handed the mag- azine to the astonished Peggy. "Here is a picture of your sister's Mr. Newton," she told her as if Peggy could fail to recognize the face that was smiling at her from the page, " `Mr. Stanley New- ton,'" Nancy read aloud, "'one of the youngest and most outstand- ing directors of the notion picture industry today.' So that's your de- tective!" Peggy stared in amazement at anus`- �%ede. A 'man's sock stakes this cuddly doll, A pair makes two. It's all in the cutting and joining, Youngsters would love to make them! One bandanna dresses this inex- pensive doll, so simple to make. Pattern 542 has directions for 12 - inch sock 'doll, clothes.

Print plainly pat- tern number, your name and ad- dress. the picture in her hand. He wasn't a detective. No wonder he wasn't fat and he didn't wear a derby h. t, or— Maxine was laughing. "For heav- +1's sake don't let Gran see that. Of course Stanley isn't a detective. He is my director and lie came here to see me, but after Gran said she didn't want to meet any- one connected with pictures 1 didn't see how I was going to manage it until Peggy said that about his being a detective, and to get, hint out here, Of course I was just kidding when I said that to hint over the phorl,e. I had not known he was coming, and was surprised that he had found out my home address. But it did seem an excellent way for me to see him, and it really was awfully important. I thought the ring would be found anyway. I'm sorry," she faltered as Peggy and Nancy both eyed her at silence. * * * "He came' here to see her, of course. 'It was awfully impor- tant,'" Peggy was repeating to her- self. "I ant just the little sister who mustn't be allowed to marry the wrong man. Oh, I hate him!" she thought, slamming the maga- zine shut. There were voices in the hall now. Gran's and Stanley's. Gran was on her way upstairs. Maxine and Nancy started towards them and Peggy slipped away frem them quite unnoticed. Without thinkiflg where she was going Peggy ran through the rose garden and into the summer house. This was where she had always conte with her trorubles since she was a child. * * * It was here that she had come when Maxine had written that she was going to remain in California. And it was here that she came now when she was unhappy about about Stanley not finding the ring, she told herself. What had he been saying to Gran this afternoon? Had he told her about the engagement, and that the ring ewes here? But • even as she thought cf that she dis- missed the idea. He would not do that, she knew. . What was she unhappy about? What more , na- tural than that Maxine's director should be in love with his star and follow her home in order t be be with her? He had not spok. a word of love to her, Peggy, no if she had been foolish enough to imagine things from his 'tone, and expression—well it was just too bad. He had only been glad for the family when she told him she would give Harry back his ring. Of course he had been glad. He wouldn't want Maxine's sister to do anything foolish. And she had been count- ing the minutes until six o'clock when he would bring her the ring. And now it was—she glanced at her wrist watcth-it was two min- utes to, six, and he was probably in the house 'laughing with Maxine at the joke they had put over on them, But he wasn't in the house be- cause just then she saw him come out of the frunt door, pause a mo- ment there to look towards the rose garden and thea start down the steps. Well, she wouldn't wait, she wouldn't be here if he came. She didn't want to hear his explanation. She didn't feel like laughing over the joke. She wanted the ring to give back to Harry and then she wanted to forget sten. (Concluded Next Week) Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1. For how long a time should .a "widow wear mourning? 2.

John 15: 17, The Institution of Marriage In our lesson we find the Phari- sees again tempting Jesus with their questions. This time it is a question which would have. been in order if asked in the proper man- ner. "Is it lawful for nian to put away his wife for every cause?" Jesus appealed to their own know- ledge with the question "Have ye not read that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said • for this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain sl all be one flesh?" There was no matter of doubt left, regardless of • the laws of the church or laws of the land, for "What God hath joined to- gether, let not man put asunder." Mary and Martha The certain village was Bethany which is quite close to Jerusalem. Martha seems to have been the head of the house where she lived with Mary her sister and Lazarus her brother, They . apparently had a great love for the Lord, and Jesus must have enjoyed the fel- lowship of Martha and her family, for quite often he was found 'visiting there. Jesus did not miss an oppor- tunitiy to teach God's Word, and at his feet was Martha's sister Mary, eagerly listening to the Master's message. There was much to be taken care of in the preparation of the meal for Jesus and his disciples, and Martha was very busy looking afters everything. She became ir- riitated seeing her sister Mary sitting at Jesus' feet and in a way blamed the Lord for her sis- ter's attitude. In his own unique way the Lord rebuked Martha with words of kindness. "One thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her." May we in serving the -Lord not be- come too busy to take time to . sit at the Mast-r's feet. A Godly Home Paul, writing to ' intothy, thanks God that he continually remem- bered Timothy in prayer. He gave -God the praise and glory for this• remembrance, since it was He who put it into his heart to pray. Paul was a man of prayer, praying night and day without ceasing. Paul was an intercession in prayer; he not onry prayed for himself but for all the saints. Paul mentions that he served God from his forefathers. He appreciated the fact that he had been brought up under strict re- ligious influence. He was not saved by his upbringing, but following his conversion it was a source of help and blessing to him. Paul had a great love for Timothy who was i- possession of the same unfeigned faith that dwelt in his mother and grandmother. He urges Timothy to stir up, or awaken, that gift he had received at the laying on a the hands by Paul. Wrens `Carry On' In Hell -Fire Corner Shell -fire and flying -bomb' at- tacks on Dover turnd what was previously a dangerous job for the Wrens of the Dover Command into one of the most hazadrous tasks of the war. I learned their story in a naval machine shop in the forefront of "Hell -fire Corner". The shop was crammed with racks of live tor- pedoes. The "Torpedo Wrens", es the girls whose job it is to over- haul the Navy's torpedoes are known, were working as usual, testing the torpedoes cleaning and greasing them, and loading them by crane on to waiting trticks. This vital work never stopped, even dur- ing the fiercest bombardment of the area. A single shell-splinte,', I was told by an R. N. officer, would have been sufficient to have sent "the whole works sky-high", But the Wrens clever faltered. "They were magnificent," said the ,:fficer. They refused to take cover, except on toile occasion When they were or- dered to do so, and then, they re- turned to work within 10 minutes. A sh.gle stalk of corn-, will lift approximately y 440 poundss of we- ' ter from the ground, and expel it through its leaves, in ane short growing season.
