To prepare the setting for your

Remove pepper dices, when they are

be kept hot. Then put another table-
spoon of butter into the saucepan, and

should be broiling.
Wardrobe Secrets.
A friend of mine, who is very much
in demand at all types of parties, has
always amazed me by the well-turned
outlook she always has. Yet she is
one of the busiest people I know. I
questioned her the other day, and her
tips of how to keep a small wardrobe
fresh and ready for any demand are
really worthwhile passing on:
Joan says she takes off business
clothes, as well as shoes, on reaching
home; puts shoes on trees, and hangs
up •clothes, leaving them to be well -
brushed in the morning. On my quer-
ying this, she remarked that any mud -
spots removed when dry do not stain
the material.
Once a week she spends a little
time over her day -wear, sponging,
pressing, and' where necessary clean-
ing with a flannel rag and benzine.
Every garment has a hanger, even
blouses. Her jumpers, however, are
kept in a drawer with a roll" of tissue
paper twisted inside the top.
A stocking box with compartments
is for separating best, second best and
very -much -mended stockings. In each
compartment also is the silk or skein
of mending material to match.
Gloves are kept in linen sachets
which she makes and tissue paper
goes between best pairs. A scent sach-
et is sewn in the packet, delicately'
perfuming the gloves. She has in-
vested in glove trees, as with washing
gloves this expenditure is well repaid
in time. Instead of sending gloves to
the cleaners she now buys washing
kinds and does them at home.
For her delicate dresses Joan has
a big cretonne sheet, and this is wrap-
ped around the hangers which hold
those most likely to be soiled if touch-
ed by darker clothes.
.A. scent sachet is attached to each
hanger, and this again gives just that
faint suggestion of perfume which I
noticed clinging about Joan's clothes.
Joan also has a box where name-
tapes, cotton, elastic, different kinds
of buttons, a strong needle and thread
for sewing are kept.
No wonder she always looks neat,

into it a handful of wheat bran, a
shred of soap, and an ounce of powd-
ered or bruised orris root. 'Use this
bag as you would •a sponge. It
cleanses, soothes and perfumes. ,
Instead of scrubbing hearth tiles,
rub them with floor or furniture polish.
They will look much cleaner and take
on a splendid polish.
Save tobacco ash and use for clean-
ing silver or silver plate. Apply with
a damp .cloth, and finish. with a soft,
dry one.
White turnip, well grated anti mix-

The hest and quickest way to clean

put in a teaspoonful of vinegar then

When rinsed. the bottle will be quite

The secret of broiling steak just
right is to have your oven piping hot
when you put the steak in. Light
• the oven at ,least 15 minutes before
you want to cook your steak. This
heat helps to sear your steak quickly,
which. keeps the juices n and makes
it tender. Slow heat spoils the best
streak.
When all is ready have your plat-
ter piling hot, place the pineapple
circles carefully and top earh with a
peeve of steak. It is necessary to use
a deet ref cayenne pepper over the
steak, to add. zest. to the combination
that the steak makes with the pine-
spple. Place the diced pepper around
the pineapple, as a garnish;

Introduction—Following the teach-

sized the strenuous demands of his
religion, Mark 9: 44-50. The revo-
lutionary character of s teaching g is
brought out in his argument with the
Pharisees, Mark 10, 1-12. The ideal
marriage is a permanent bend. Jesus
places the two sexes on an equal foot-
ing, a hitherto unheard-of thing in the
East,
I. THE HEART OF A CHILD, Mark 10:
13-16.
He then goes on to set up new stan-
dards for admission into the Chris-
tian fellowship. The blessing of the
children shows the young man of
thirty cuddling little babies "in the
crook of his arm" (the literal mean-
ing of "in Ms arms") . It is a gracious
picture. Mothers have him "touch"
them—or have them touch him. Ital-
ian peasants today bring their chil-
dren to receive the blessing of a Car-
dinal, or to touch the relic of some
saint.
The disciples. said, "These young-
sters are a nuisance, take them
away!" These old -minded young .nen
would not think much of "Young Wor-
shipers' Leagues." "No," said Jesus.
"Let them come. It is to such as
these that niy kingdom belongs."
It is the outlook of the child that
is needed in religion. To a child the
unseen realities are very real. Words-

Refrigeration Achievement May
Help Solve Scientific Problogns
Berkeley, Calif.-0fiteials of the Uni-
versity of California announced last
week that the coldest man-made tem-
perature yet ettained, 459.1 degrees be-
low zero F'ahrenhet, had been reached
by experimenters at the university.
This achivement of, W. F. Giauque,
assisted by C. F. Nelson, mechanician,
was accomplished by use of a mag-
netic cycle process which Prof, Gieu-
quo developed. The mark reached is
within .25 degree Centigrade of the
absolute absence of heat. Experi-
menters generally have held attain-
ment of practical zero Is essential to
solution of numerous scientific prob-
lems.
Among theories advanced is that the
practical absence of heat is necessary
as a preliminary to creation of a per-
fect ,,vacunm, that new low tempera-
tures can be applied to manufacture
of a super -steel and that this research
will contribute to the study 'or tied
etruoture of the atom.
The substance cooled by Proffesol
Claque was gadolinium sulfate octan
hydrate, a compound of gadolinium, a
metallic element discovered in 1%80.

customary cooling processes Prof

Christ must have the throne in our
hearts. Not even money, masterful as
it is, may usurp that position.
If the rich man cannot get in, what
about the rest of es? To accomplish
it, says Jesus, will be nothing short
of a miracle—a miracle of grace, v.
27. "So opposed to current `-dean was
such a thought, that the disciples, ac-
customed to think that wealth meant
happiness, were amazed. If the same
doctrine were proclaimed in any great
commercial centre today, it would ex-
cite no less astonishment. At least,
many Christians and others live as
ifthe opposite were true. Wealth
possessed, and not trusted in, but used
aright, may become a help towards
eternal life; but wealth as commonly
regarded may be a curse."
the suggested alternatives). He
wouldn't do the things they do." He
could not understand his mother's
point of view. He knew only that his
friend was a nice, good boy. To him,
that was enough. Would Jesus agree
with him?
The child deals with realities all
the time—grown-ups, occasionally.
The child "receives" the kingdom. He
does not try to buy it, because it
never occurs to him that he has "won
his own way" to success.
Ii. THE GREAT CHOICE, Mark 10:
17-22
The new standard is now discussed
in its relation to money. The young
man wanted to know how he could
get the best kind of life. "Jesus, look-
ing upon him, loved hint," that is,
was very much taken with hint. He
halts the inquirer's enthusiasm by
telling him that no one is good but
God. Jesus refuses to take credit to
himself independently of his Father.
A Christian saint might say, "Not I,
but Christ; so Jesus says, "Not I,
but nay Father."
The young man had been . accustom-
ed to observe the law, but now, dis-
satisfied, he feels that there must be
swindling higher. Jesus, putting his
finger on his weakness, said, "Sell all
you have...." The young man lost
the' kingdom because he was not will-
ing to lose his property for it. Jesus)
wanted him, but he wanted him poor.
We can sympathize with the disci-
ples who could not understand this!
This passage does not mean that every
wealthy man must give away his
wealth when he becomes a Christian.
It may be a much more difficult and
Christian thing to administer prop-
erty wisely than simply to dispose of
it. In this man's • case, the love of
money seems to have had such a hold
on him that to get rid of it was the
only remedy. Jesus had no place
among his followers for a man who
puts property rights ahead of his re-
ligion. The young man made his great
choice, and went away sorrowing.
M. THE WEALTHY CHRISTIAN, Mark
10: 23-27.
Jesus says that it is almost im-
possible for a rich man to become
part of the brotherhood. He had a
haunting dread of the deadening pow-
er of money in a man's spiritual life.
The making of it does not tend to
eultivate the qualities that make for
brotherhood. Once made, it erects a
barrier. It requires a mighty demon-
stration of good will to overcome the
undue deference, the' diffidence, or the
suspicion with which the world so
often looks upon a 'rich man, v. 28.
This teaching was quite "beyond" the
disciples, v. 24. The more money the
worshipper had when he went to Je-
rusalem to worship, the more splen-
did his part"in it would be. But, Jesus
went on, not only will it be difficult
for a man who puts his money fret,
it will be impossible for him to enter
the brotherhood. Verse 25, quoting a
current proverbial phrase, is to be
taken literally. It does not mean
"difficult"; .it means "impossible.''
Man Leaves Position
To His Wife by Will
A woman is to take her husband's
place as chairman of directors of a
company of brassfounders.
This is the remarkable condition
laid down in the will of Frederick
Machman Watson of Rotherham,
Yorkshire, Eng., a civil engineer, who
left estate of the gross value of £69,-
264,
69,264, with net personality £59,017.
Mr. ,Watson was chairman and
managing director of a Rotherham
firm of brassfounders, and in his will
he stated that he desired his wife to
be in the same position as he (at the
time of his death) and that she
should, after his death, be appointed
chairman of directors of the said
company, and that the company
should pay to her the same salary as
he was receiving from it at the time
of his death.
Mrs. Watson, for about five years
during which Mr. Watson was seri-
ously ill, took an active part in the
management of the business.

Novel Parisian Edifice Buill
of Glass, Steel, and
Rubber
Paris.—Behind the walls of an old!
fashioned mansion in the heart o
Paris has been built the "Home o
Tomorrow"—a remarkable edifice o
glass, steel and rubber with permanm
ent sunshine "on top."
This is the town house of Dr. Jea?I
Dalsaee, a wealthy French sportsma
art collector and noted doctor, and;
was designed as an experiment by 1Yid
Pierre Chareau, a leading architect.
Passing through the very normal
courtyard portals ,at No. 31 Rue Stt
Guillaume, Faubourg St. Germain
the unsuspecting visitor comes upon
this surprising house. To build this
house the architect tore down the
three lower storeys of an old mansion;
but left the fourth storey to rest upoi'
the top of this super -modern home
and serve as servants' quarters.
The outer alis are composed of
thick glass tiles set in steel frames,'
giving a net -like effect. These are
not transparent but they admit plentgl
of light.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED.
Within this "Home of the Year
2000" are vents which shoot currents'
of warm air through the floors, the
temperature thus obtained being tem,.
pered by ventilators in the walls
Nevertheless the temperature permits'
of the free growth of cactuses, •orch-t
ids and other tropical plants.
The floors are composed of rabbe
tiles which muffle footsteps, yet are;
specially - made to permit dancing
Levels change gradually so that most
staircases are eliminated.
There are no interior walls, prop-
erly speaking, but mere partitions of
steel netting or painted metal.
The lighting system is, however,
the triumph of the architect. Thisi
is provided by six huge reflectors out/
side the building. When the lights are
switched on these reflectors throw al
strong glaze through the tiles of the
walls, giving a perfect illusion of euia1
shine.
